"That's right." Professor X looked at Harry approvingly and agreed with him.
"These incidents, like the unrest in Gotham City, have brought panic to the people. They are all attacking the same thing — faith. The people are very fragile. Their kindness, tolerance, and honesty.
Their beautiful and great moral values are based on a peaceful living environment. Once the haze progresses … "
Kolssen added faintly, "In the past two months, the recent crime rate in New York has increased by more than 20%.
The activities of the Avengers have been questioned again.
Our agents are not having it easy. "
Harry looked at the materials again and asked with a slight frown, "So, this surveillance plan … is it real or fake?"
The two agents looked at the deputy director with slight unease.
Kolssen smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible. We don't have such advanced technical support …"
Harry did not intend to play riddles with Kolssen and said directly, "Jarvis."
Kolssen stopped talking and looked at Harry deeply. Then he looked at Professor X and saw that the professor was innocently spreading his hands to indicate that he was not the one who leaked the secret. He could only sigh in his heart.
Slowly, he said, "Okay.
Harry.
Since you know Jarvis, I don't have to say more. Regarding the security surveillance plan, the Federation does have this plan. After all … although Jarvis's results have not yet leaked out of the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s laboratory, once they do, we can form a global network. Then, as you know, we can use it to detect terrorists and isolate countless dangers from the eyes of the public. "
Harry did not intend to analyze whether the PRISM plan was right or wrong. He only caught a detail that he had not paid attention to before: Jarvis's results? He had thought that Jarvis himself was a tool for monitoring the entire network. But on second thought, Jarvis, as an artificial intelligence, was completely beyond the current era. Probably the Jarvis here was still Stark's housekeeper on the surface.
"So, the three New York reporters were killed because they were aware of the surveillance plan?"
Harry's question was straightforward, but Kolssen answered with difficulty, "Even though this conjecture is reasonable, but … it's not. That's why their deaths were recorded in the X Files. Although they were all dedicated to publishing statements attacking the Federation, they didn't actually touch on the security monitoring program itself, so the Federation didn't particularly care about these reporters. However, before their bizarre deaths, they unanimously published all kinds of articles accusing the Federation of violating the privacy of citizens. What's even more ridiculous is that these articles were intercepted before they were published, but no, no one in charge had any impression of these three articles. "
Harry had already read the files on the so-called 'bizarre deaths'. He had a vague guess in his mind, but he needed more evidence. "Are their bodies still here?"
Kolssen shook his head awkwardly. "We have conducted a comprehensive autopsy, but we couldn't draw any conclusions. It was completely like a natural death. Later, because of the anger of the family, we could only return the bodies. They should have been buried."
Harry rubbed his chin and stared at the autopsy report in the file for a while. He then said, "What about the scene of the death? Is there anyone living in the place where the three reporters lived now? "
"Probably not. After all, something like this happened … Do you want to go and take a look?" Kolssen understood.
Harry nodded. "I'm going to look for something." Even though it might have been a bit long.
Kolssen did not find it strange. "We sent people to protect the scene, but the relics might have been taken away by the relatives."
After Harry said that it was okay, Kolssen asked Mulde and Scali to take Harry there. "They happen to be the agents in charge of this file, so they know the case better."
In fact, Harry did not care much about the social circle and personality characteristics of the three reporters, but the conscientious Agent Scali still explained all the relevant information to Harry in the car. Seeing Harry's indifferent look, the female agent asked, "Mr. Potter, is there anything you don't understand?"
When Harry came back to his senses, he found that Agent Scali was a bit nervous and uncomfortable. He quickly said, "Miss Agent, just call me Harry."
Although Agent Scali had dealt with genetic mutants and alien abductions for many years, this was the first time she had come into close contact with the mysterious wizards. She was a bit curious and excited. She immediately replied, "Then you can also call me Dana. So, do you need me to explain anything to you? "
"No, you've made it very clear, Te … Dana." Harry readily accepted her advice and asked again, "You and Mr. Mulde have worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. for many years, right?"
Scali said, "We've been partners for two years." She cleverly avoided mentioning Mulde's working age.
Harry didn't think much of it. He simply asked with a smile, "Apart from the files just now, have there been any particularly strange incidents in the past two years?"
Scali was an agent after all, and naturally could not reveal information to outsiders. So, she smiled and was about to change the topic, when Mulde, who was driving in silence, suddenly said, "One question for another."
Harry narrowed his eyes and curled his lips. "Okay."
Mulde looked at Harry in the rearview mirror. "How do you know about Jarvis?" When he was observing from the side, he could see that Professor X and Kolssen were both surprised that Harry said Jarvis's name. In fact, Jarvis and his machine were the highest-level secrets within S.H.I.E.L.D. If it weren't for the case, perhaps even Mulde himself wouldn't have come into contact with this information. So, how did this little wizard from England know about it?
As a result, Harry blinked and suddenly became a little bashful. "Um … Aren't Jarvis and Iron Man a couple?"
"How do you know?" "What?"
Mulde finally took control of the steering wheel, and then Scali subconsciously covered her mouth and continued to ask, "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Harry gently tapped his fingers, his face full of innocence. "It's … When Spiderman and the others went to Hogwarts to study abroad, I lived with them and heard them talk about this gossip. I thought, we're the British country of corruption, maybe the United States won't accept their relationship, so I wanted to use this secret to threaten Principal Kolssen, but I didn't expect him to confess so quickly …"
Did this reason make sense? It seemed to make sense. Then, did Scali and Mulde believe it? Of course not! But looking into Harry's sincere green eyes, they knew that they couldn't get anything out of this little wizard.
The residence of the first reporter, Bob Bernstein, was indeed well preserved. Apart from the dust, even the furniture was still there.
Mulde brought Harry here first. "He didn't have any relatives, only a pair of parents who ran a farm far away in Wyoming, so his belongings are still preserved here. Of course, it's also because we specially preserved them. "
Harry walked into the reporter's bedroom first. Apart from a single bed and a messy bookcase, the most conspicuous thing was an old desktop computer. But the file cabinet next to the desk was empty. Apparently, the SHIELD had taken it away.
Harry walked to the computer and then clicked on the mainframe with his magic wand. The unplugged computer turned on and skipped the password section to enter the operating interface. Mulde and Scali looked at each other in surprise.
At this time, civilian computers were still quite retro. Harry directly used his magic wand to open all of Bernstein's archived files and quickly browsed through them. Other than finding that Bernstein was full of disdain for President Clinton, there was no more information, and he really didn't pay attention to the monitoring plan.
Seeing Harry turn off the computer, Scali couldn't help but ask, "Did you find anything?"
Harry shook his head and then glanced at the two agents. "Where did he die?"
Mulde pointed to the desk. "Lying dead in front of the computer."
Harry motioned for them to step back. Holding the magic wand in his hand, he used magic to draw a complicated totem in the air. Then he whispered, "Magic Trace." This was a very powerful magic tracking spell, almost invented by Harry himself. He usually used it to track the fleeing Death Eaters in the war, but it was also quite useful at this time. Although half a year had passed, he could still see traces of black magic left in the air. Traces left behind by powerful black magic.
Scali and Mulde couldn't see what Harry saw, but they still felt the sudden chill in the air, so they asked in unison, "What's that?"
"A spell." Harry whispered, "A spell called the Unforgivable Curse in the Wizarding World. On April 20th, Bob Bernstein was killed by this spell here. A green light flashed, and he died, and Muggle's technology couldn't find out the cause of his death. If I'm not wrong, there are similar traces in the other two reporters' rooms. "
Although knowing that it was inappropriate, Scali couldn't help but ask, "What spell?" Then Mulde pulled her away.
Harry didn't look at them and just said calmly, "The Avada Curse."
Scali didn't know if it was because of the three lives under these few syllables, or Harry's indifference that was beyond his age, but she felt a chill in her heart and kept quiet. However, Mulder frowned and raised another question. "So, if the adepts can kill people so easily, why haven't we encountered similar cases before?"
Harry twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Wizards also have police, Mr. Agent. Our police are called the Auror. They also track down bad wizards who cause trouble in the Muggle world, but they will use the Amnesia Spell to erase your memory after the fact."
The words "memory erasure" reminded the two agents of unpleasant memories.
Harry was still frowning. "But … there are no traces of wizard involvement in these three murder cases." Otherwise, he could also trace the magic traces. "So, either the American Association of Mages didn't do anything, or the black wizard who committed the crime is very powerful." Powerful enough to hide his magic waves.
