In the wilderness outside New York City, Howard drove his car on the highway.
In the car, Howard and his wife Maria chatted with each other, looking forward to a happy future.
Suddenly, Maria saw from the right rearview mirror that a motorcycle was approaching rapidly from the right rear of the car.
The motorcycle was full of energy and chased her and Howard at a very fast speed. Maria reminded Howard worriedly:
"Howard! Be careful, there's a motorcycle behind you, it looks like it's coming with bad intentions."
Without his wife's reminder, Howard had already noticed the motorcycle following behind the car.
The strong light emitted by the motorcycle's high beam, reflected by the car's rearview mirror, had flashed into Howard's eyes many times.
Howard's mission was carried out in secret, and only those within SHIELD knew about it. Logically speaking, it should not attract prying eyes from others.
However, the motorcycle following him looked really menacing, and Howard couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
The motorcycle was getting closer and closer to the car, and the more Howard thought about it, the more something was wrong.
"Maria, sit tight, I'm going to start trying to get rid of this motorcycle!"
Howard stepped on the accelerator and the car started to accelerate. A car and a motorcycle started chasing each other on the road.
The speed of the car was so fast that Maria was so frightened that she clung to the armrests in the car and kept comforting herself in her heart.
When the two cars passed an inconspicuous small town, the road suddenly became narrow, and Howard did not dare to speed up.
The motorcycle had no scruples, suddenly accelerated again, and caught up.
Bucky, the Winter Soldier, rode on his motorcycle and overtook Howard's car with his hand on the accelerator.
Following Maria's scream, Bucky raised the robotic arm of his left hand and punched the car door hard.
While driving at high speed, the car was subjected to a huge external force and suddenly lost control.
Although Howard tried his best to control the direction, the road was too narrow and he still had no time to stabilize the car.
With a loud bang, the car hit a wall in front of it, and the front of the car was smashed into pieces.
But Bucky retracted his left hand, used his huge strength to arbitrarily stabilize the head of the motorcycle, and slowly stopped in front.
Howard was driving the car, although he was wearing a seat belt, but he was hit and his head was badly bruised.
Fortunately, because there were other protective measures in the car, Howard was not knocked unconscious and he remained conscious.
At this time, the motorcycle turned around and drove back from his right front. After passing through his eyes, it turned a corner and stopped next to the car.
Howard's heart tightened, and he was suddenly filled with regret and despair. He first looked at his wife next to him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that her wife was still alive.
Howard held back the pain and weakly said to his wife:
"Maria, that person has returned! But don't worry, they are targeting me specifically, and nothing will happen to you. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
After saying that, Howard struggled to open the car door and climbed out of the car.
At this time, Bucky, the Winter Soldier, got off the motorcycle and approached Howard expressionlessly.
"Save my wife, please, save her. She doesn't know anything."
But the Winter Soldier didn't react at all to Howard's words. He reached out and grabbed Howard's hair, who was lying on the ground, and asked Howard to raise his head.
Howard suppressed the panic in his heart, and at first glance he saw the person's left arm raised high, reflecting the metallic luster. The next moment, he saw the person's face clearly, and then he was shocked and said:
"Sergeant Barnes?!"
Then, Howard seemed to have figured out something, and his eyes began to be filled with prayers, praying for Barnes to let his wife go.
At this time, Maria seemed to feel something and called her husband anxiously in the car.
However, Bucky, the Winter Soldier, was unmoved at all. He raised his mechanical arm and punched Howard in the face, and then he punched Howard again!
Following Maria's sobbing cry, Howard collapsed softly to the ground and died.
Bucky lifted the back collar of Howard's body's shirt, put Howard back in the driver's seat, and pressed his head onto the steering wheel.
When Maria saw her husband's body close at hand, her heartache, sadness, fear, anger and other emotions all surged out in an instant. Her mind went blank and she could hardly breathe.
But Bucky, the Winter Soldier, still looked expressionless. He walked around to the passenger seat, stretched out his right hand, grabbed Maria's neck, and strangled her to death!
Then, Bucky, the Winter Soldier, walked up to the camera that had already been explored and destroyed the camera with one shot.
Before shooting, he gestured provocatively.
Bucky put the gun back on his waist, returned to the car and began to search carefully.
Finally, Bucky took out a sealed box from the back seat of the car, got on his motorcycle, and sped along the road, disappearing in the blink of an eye...
…
On the evening of the 16th, 11:45.
Fury was pacing in the office of the secret base, feeling a little irritable and worried.
At this time, the base security director also walked into the office quickly and said to Fury:
"Sir, we have contacted Mr. Stark's vehicle communication many times, but there has been no response. I am afraid that they will..."
"Don't make random guesses, it's meaningless. Send half of the agents in the base and drive along all possible routes toward New York City to find Mr. Stark."
Fury interrupted the security director and gave the order to go out for a search. After hearing this, the security director quickly walked out of the office and quickly arranged for relevant personnel.
Fury was in the office, waiting hard and restless.
An hour later, the base security director hurriedly ran into the office and shouted:
"Sir Fury, no good, something happened. The Starks had a car accident on the way, and both of them are dead..."
The next moment, Fury's face was full of shock!
He picked up the coat beside him and ran out of the office quickly. Then, he and the security director drove a car and hurried to the scene of the incident.
At the place where Stark's "car accident" occurred.
Fury, who arrived belatedly, watched the Starks being put into body bags with a sad look on his face.
Ever since Fury was transferred to S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard Stark has always taken great care of Fury. In addition, Howard is one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Fury loves him very much.
Taking a deep breath, Fury calmed down. While looking around, he said to the security chief standing behind him:
"Have the agents who came in advance found out the cause? Why did Mr. and Mrs. Stark get into a car accident?"
"The forensic scientists and investigation agents accompanying the team have summarized the situation and there are several key points that need attention.
There were signs of being hit by a heavy object on the right side of Mr. Stark's car. The cause of Mr. Stark's death was a blunt blow to the head. Moreover, Mr. Stark showed signs of getting out of the car and moving around before his death.
Mrs. Stark's neck was blue and purple, which proved that she was strangled and died of suffocation.
In addition, there were traces of a motorcycle staying at the scene, and the footprints of a third party were also examined, and they were determined to be male, weighing more than 100 kilograms.
Also, the agents found no samples of the super serum in the car."
The security director told Fury every detail of the scene, and finally concluded,
"From the above points, we can conclude that the Starks were killed. Moreover, the suspect had no intention of making any disguise at all. He just came to seize the serum."
Fury thought for a moment and then asked:
"Since the suspect did not prepare to make a disguise, is there anything left at the scene that can identify him?"
"Oddly enough, according to criminal psychology, people who act recklessly will usually leave items at the scene to identify themselves. However, our agents did not find such items."
"That only proves that you are stupid and need training!"
Fury gave the security director a lesson in a cold voice. The security director lowered his head and did not dare to talk back. Fury continued,
"Don't think I have wronged you. What do you think that is?"
The security director looked in the direction of Fury's finger and found a broken camera, and immediately lowered his head in shame.
The agents he led had stayed in SHIELD's scientific research base for too long. Their daily work was like security guards, and they had basically not performed any tasks.
Many of the skills I have trained and learned in the past are becoming increasingly unfamiliar.
Fury did not reprimand the security director again and said calmly:
"Take a few people and follow me to find the owner of the surveillance camera."
