Li Congxin's words were unanimously approved by the two beautiful agents Hill and Sharon.
Captain America couldn't fight back and was beaten by Tony. In addition, he failed to adjust his grudges. It can be said that he suffered a double blow both physically and Mind Stone, and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Coupled with the loss of his iconic shield, Captain America at this time will definitely not be able to exert even 30% of his usual combat effectiveness.
If the enemy is well prepared, it will not be difficult to capture or kill him alive.
In this case, as long as the person in charge of the other party has a little bit of brains, he will definitely not choose to kill the person directly. Because a living Captain America is much more useful than a dead person, no matter what conspiracy or trick he wants to play, or as a trump card to save his life in the end.
Even if the other party wants to kill Captain America and blame him on Tony, he will never let him die silently. Instead, he will give Captain America an extremely tragic death, and let all clues point directly to Tony!
Because only then will Li Congxin be swayed by anger and lose his due reason.
Not to mention the trouble of destroying corpses and eradicating traces, the effect of setting the blame is directly reduced by half. Why would the other party do such a futile thing?
Taking a deep breath, Li Congxin continued to add in a deep voice, "First, the surveillance video of Bucky assassinating the Stark couple when he was brainwashed was given to Tony, which led to and I Tony got into a fight on the spot, and then Captain America was guided by someone who wanted to go to Tony's house to seek death. This series of events is closely linked, and I really can't think of any other possibility besides Hydra."
After identifying the culprit in one sentence, Li Congxin immediately asked Bucky: "Bucky, please recall carefully. Is there any Hydra secret base in Los Angeles that you know about?"
"There is a place." Bucky's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "I was brainwashed there."
As mentioned before, Marvel Universe's Mind Control abilities are all weak skills, at least in Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The control of Infinity Stones is easy to understand. What better brainwashing method do you expect Hydra to come up with?
However, the people at Hydra seemed to know that their brainwashing methods were not effective enough, so they adopted the method of making up for their weaknesses through diligence.
They never thought of getting rid of it once and for all, but carried out repeated brainwashing regularly and irregularly to ensure that the brainwashed subjects would always be obedient.
Take Winter Soldier Bucky as an example. Every time he is unfrozen, he is brainwashed before talking about anything else, and then he is sent to perform tasks.
When there is no need for him to do anything for the time being, he will be frozen again to ensure that he will not wander around in boredom and bring back memories of the past.
In this way, Bucky still makes a little trouble from time to time. For example, if you see Captain America once, the brainwashing effect will be loosened.
Hydra has special secret bases all over the world, just to deal with this situation and brainwash the problematic objects again.
To put it simply, it's just one sentence: Be diligent in brainwashing at all times and don't stir up dust.
After hearing Bucky say that he still remembered Hydra's secret base, Li Congxin immediately asked Qingfeng to project Los Angeles's panoramic map and asked him to specify the location.
Half an hour later, Li Congxin led Bucky, Yi Long and others to attack the secret stronghold, but as expected found nothing.
As long as there is a slight danger, all related secret strongholds will be removed. The style is really Pi Llama.
In this case, there is nothing to say. Li Congxin asked Bucky to carefully recall the experience of the past few decades. At the same time, Qingfeng borrowed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s satellite system to call up the world map, identified all the Hydra strongholds that he could remember, and handed them to Hill to check one by one.
It's your responsibility to throw it away, but it's also good to make Pi Llama disgusting if you're not responsible.
In the next few days, S.H.I.E.L.D. secretly blocked the entire Los Angeles and began a blanket search, trying not to disturb the public while ensuring that there were no errors or omissions.
However, this is of no use to Hydra, which has already been integrated with S.H.I.E.L.D..
A whole week has passed, and apart from taking down two Hydra strongholds that Bucky knew about but Pi Llama thought Bucky didn't know about, or they did not belong to the same faction as Pi Llama, no news about Captain America was found.
It wasn't until early in the morning on the eighth day that Black Widow came to visit and delivered Captain America, who was seriously injured and was weak.
"Based on the avatar that Bucky spelled out from memory, last night we found the monk who told a story and guided Captain America to find Tony." As he said, Black Widow also took out a photo of the scene that was still on the table. "But when we found him, he took poison and committed suicide immediately. We couldn't catch him alive. He only said one sentence before he died."
"Hail Hydra?"
Black Widow nodded slightly, then threw out a lot of information and said, "This is our investigation information on this person. This person's name is Johnson Turner. He is a high school teacher. He is very good at telling stories, but he is not a monk. His understanding of Buddhism is very limited. Even his hair was shaved off temporarily at the barber shop that morning."
Li Congxin nodded clearly. If someone who knew something about Buddhism were to tell this story, there would be no such contemptible words as "a person named Buddha". Just bully Captain America and Bucky who also know nothing about Buddhism.
"Then how did you find Steve?" Li Congxin then asked, "Since you brought him back and first told me about this fake monk, there must be some connection between the two, right?"
"You've got it right in one guess." Black Widow showed a charming smile and continued, "When we arrested Johnson Turner, although we failed to prevent him from committing suicide, we found some relevant clues from his residence, traced them all the way, and finally found the imprisoned captain in the basement of a dental clinic."
Li Congxin turned around and glanced at Captain America. The redness and swelling on the latter's face had disappeared at this moment, but the injuries caused by Tony and the attacker had not yet completely recovered, and his spirit and state seemed a little sluggish.
It seemed that he also knew that he had brought huge trouble to others, so he just stood aside with his head lowered and said nothing.
There is no problem with Captain America's identity!
Li Congxin immediately confirmed that the Captain America in front of him was definitely his true self.
There is nothing like Bionic Mask on his face, it is definitely his appearance. Although his condition at the moment is very poor, his foundation is particularly good. With the intuition of a warrior, Li Congxin can even feel the strong energy and blood in the opponent that far exceeds that of a normal person.
Unless Hydra can find a perfect substitute whose physical strength is no longer inferior to that of Captain America, and who has the ability to change appearance at will like the Devil's Heart Woman or Agent 33, there will be no way to hide it from Li Congxin's eyes.
But even so, Li Congxin did not take it lightly.
He directly called Bucky and asked him to take Captain America back to the room to rest first. He also quietly asked him and Captain America to talk more about their youthful years and their youth that had passed away for more than seventy years.
Even if the other party can really find a stand-in that is perfect enough to deceive him Li Congxin, can they also perfectly copy his memory?
Even if it is possible, then the true expression of love between Captain America and Bucky cannot be faked, right?
Now Li Congxin is really more cautious about Pi Llama than ever before. He has to carefully analyze every move made by the opponent to see if there are any other conspiracies hidden in it.
For example, Captain America was rescued this time. Although it seemed that there were many twists and turns, the fake monk was found from S.H.I.E.L.D., and relevant clues were found from him to find the imprisoned Captain America.
Although the specific process Black Widow did not explain in detail, Li Congxin can fully imagine the twists and turns, but they are all interlocking. You can always find clues in the complicated situation, or through someone's inadvertent words, the fog suddenly becomes clear in the detective film.
Overall, the process of rescuing Captain America went very smoothly.
It was unreasonably smooth, and it was unexpectedly smooth!
Is there a more terrifying conspiracy behind this incident?
Regarding this, Li Congxin couldn't figure it out for a while. In comparison, returning S.H.I.E.L.D.'s favor first was his first priority.
Watching Bucky and Captain America leave, Li Congxin turned around and said calmly to Black Widow: "Regarding the injury you suffered before, I have two different treatment options here. I will briefly explain the effects and limitations of the two options first, and then you can make your own choice."
"Oh?" Black Widow raised his eyebrows and said in a charming tone, "Don't you need to talk about the conditions first, such as asking me to sacrifice my appearance, pay for my body, or something like that?"
When we were in the Middle East before, Li Congxin told Black Widow that it could perfectly treat the gunshot wounds on her body without leaving any scars.
However, since they returned to America, Black Widow did not take the initiative to come to him for medical treatment, nor did Li Congxin take the initiative to mention it.
And this time after S.H.I.E.L.D. rescued Captain America, not only did he send the person back intact, but he also sent it to Black Widow, not Hill, who was more familiar with Li Congxin. Naturally, the meaning of this does not need to be explained too clearly.
As for the reward...
"In fact, if you can help me rescue Steve, it is already the best reward, and its value far exceeds the consultation fee you need to pay. However, taking into account the Hydra dens that Bucky provided before and the relevant information I provided for free before, we can barely settle the situation."
Captain America was able to return smoothly, and Li Congxin was in a good mood. While talking, he took out two bottles of juice from the Fridge and threw one to Black Widow: "This is free."
Opening the bottle and taking a sip, Black Widow said softly again, "I think your seeking medical treatment is a private matter, but rescuing Captain America is a public matter. Isn't it somewhat inappropriate for you to use private matters to offset the official favor you owe S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"There is nothing inappropriate." Li Congxin said firmly, "You were injured at work, and S.H.I.E.L.D. should pay for your treatment. If Nick Fury is a qualified leader, he will definitely agree with this. Isn't this the purpose of sending you here this time?"
Seeing that Li Congxin was acting like a businessman, Black Widow also lost interest in teasing this handsome boy. He put away his previous flirtatious attitude, which was enough to test people's determination, and asked with a serious face, "What do you mean, you have at least two methods that can treat my gunshot wounds without leaving any scars?"
