Chapter 149 What Do You Mean? Are They All Dead?

At 10 pm New York time, after witnessing the entire process of the sun rising again, the investigation team returned to the Arctic Circle.

When everyone was exhausted and was about to go back to wash and sleep, Coulson's phone rang.

Without hiding from his own team members, at this time, there were only crew members on duty in the cabin besides them.

Coulson gestured to everyone, indicating that they should wait for a moment, and then walked aside to communicate with the other side.

"How is it, is there a result?"

Everyone looked at each other, Coulson did not intend to let them listen in, and they could only hear Coulson's voice at this distance.

So several people gathered together and whispered:

"I still stick to my point of view, Bennett should not lie, Perez is very problematic."

Skye said firmly, as a hacker who has been in the dark web for many years, she has seen a lot of such bloody plots.

"Things are far from that simple, Bennett may be used."

Meester subconsciously stroked her sunglasses, which was her habitual action, and she did not change it after her eyesight recovered.

"According to the ship's doctor, Perez should have pushed Bennett away. If the mechanical failure was premeditated by Bennett, then where did the pistol come from?"

Fitz and Simmons also nodded in agreement. They didn't know the Canadians' style of doing things, but they knew without thinking that pistols were definitely not something that could be brought on an icebreaker casually.

Laini did not comment. The source of the pistol was indeed a question, but she suspected that the core of the matter was not on this.

Bennett could indeed kill Perez directly with a gun, but doing so would undoubtedly hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

From the current situation, Lainie can conclude that the other helicopter on the Louis St. Laurent will be returned to the factory for repairs, which should also be designed by Bennett in advance.

Through some means, determine the distance of the surrounding ships that can provide support, and calculate the time for helicopter rescue.

Bennett can create a thorough accidental death case.

But unexpected factors appeared, that is, the investigation team and the Quinjet they drove.

The appearance of Coulson and others broke Bennett's original plan, forcing him to face a group of SHIELD agents with unknown strength.

In the end, he had to resort to this desperate measure.

On the surface, it does look like this. On the way back, everyone discussed and analyzed and believed that this was correct.

But Lainie still felt that there was something wrong with the man named Kaplan. Why would a guy who was obviously from Hydra appear here?

His identity was shown as a member of the scientific expedition team in the information, but he didn't seem to have any intersection with the two in interpersonal relationships.

A marginal character who doesn't seem to be among these people is like Pepsi in a pile of Coca-Cola, as abrupt as it can be.

Now Lainie can be sure that the guy is Hydra.

The pistol was probably provided by him to Bennett. After all, a crew member who stays at sea all year round rarely gets off the ship. What is the use of a pistol?

Even if it is used to resist polar bears, a 9mm caliber pistol is useless except for angering polar bears.

What is the purpose?

Why did they want to kill Perez?

Is the motive for the murder really that simple?

Is the current Hydra even involved in such family ethics?

Just thinking about it, Coulson hung up the phone and returned to the crowd.

"What's the situation?"

Skye asked impatiently.

"Perez's operation failed, and the gunshot wound increased his physical burden, and he eventually died."

Coulson glanced at the expressions of the crowd and continued in a solemn voice:

"Bennett is also dead. He was shot in the police station. The murderer is that guy named Kaplan."

Everyone was shocked, and their faces were full of disbelief, but this is not over yet.

"What's even more outrageous is that after killing Bennett, Kaplan also shot himself before the Canadian police caught him."

Everyone was stunned when this was said.

What do you mean? All dead?

Skye was the first to express his disapproval.

"Wait a minute! If you say that, then the only person left dead in this case is the doctor on board?"

Coulson nodded without saying anything, and turned to look at Lainie, wanting to hear her thoughts.

"Although I'm not sure what caused this incident, I think our previous speculation should be correct."

Laini's eyes were deep, and her suspicion about this matter increased a little.

"Bennett should have been used by Kaplan, and the person who really wanted to kill Perez should be Kaplan. If I'm not wrong, he should have committed suicide before Perez was confirmed dead."

Coulson did not deny this, and he did miss this point just now.

"Then the result is obvious, the mastermind behind the scenes used a knife to kill someone, failed to kill, and finally committed suicide out of fear of crime."

Laini defined this matter, as if to declare that this matter was over, and then asked everyone to go back and rest.

But she did not mention the matter of Hydra, and now was not the time to tear off the disguise of Hydra.

She felt vaguely that these guys were actually coming for her.

Kaplan obviously recognized him, but he didn't take action on the plane because he was afraid.

But Leni is now not sure whether the other party recognizes herself as Hydra or has seen her appearance at the Stark Expo.

Even if she prefers the latter.

Now that everyone is dead, there is no evidence of death, and there is nowhere to ask.

If she really wanted to test this idea, I'm afraid she would have to find some old man who transformed himself into a computer.

"Forget it, our mission is completed anyway. Although we failed to rescue people, it has nothing to do with us. Go to sleep, we have to continue the search tomorrow."

…

"Captain, they're back."

Jason carefully pushed open the door of his captain's room and whispered to Captain Morgan.

"Well, I understand."

Captain Morgan put the satellite phone back into the drawer with a gloomy look.

"That's it. If the person can't be saved, there's only so much we can do."

Jason nodded upon hearing this without making any comment. After making sure that his captain had no further requests, he stood up and left.

Captain Morgan looked at the closed door, and the expression on his face gradually turned ferocious.

"You guys don't know how to cherish the opportunity given to you! You are all idiots! Idiots!"

He raised the cup in his hand as if to smash it, but finally put it back down.

"Strucker's men are indeed a bunch of trash. If the Winter Soldier hadn't appeared in time, all the organization's plans would have been ruined."

Atef Morgan reached out and took out the satellite phone from the drawer again. After thinking about it, he dialed the previous number again.

"Applying to use the Winter Soldier..."

There is something to delay for a while, the second chapter will be a little later.
