He quickly spotted several targets, wrote them down, and then said, "Very good, then I'll rent one. I'll bring my things over to store them tomorrow."
"No problem." The manager immediately processed Link's application, registering only the key number.
Link took the key and left. He would come back tomorrow to check on the situation. Another problem was how to open the safe.
Destruction is out of the question; the only option is to use a wire to pick the lock. These safes are not connected to an alarm system, nor are they equipped with a surveillance system, since customers want to keep their belongings confidential.
Therefore, Link can use a wire to pick the lock, but he needs to be fast, and speed is something he has no shortage of.
As for what to store, Link had his own ideas: cash, weapons, and identification. As an agent, having some backup safe spots was essential.
As a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, his credentials could change, and he could also obtain ordinary credentials from different agencies. After leaving the bank, he drove directly to the S.H.I.E.L.D. New York branch.
She took a regular FBI badge and then went home. Jessica wasn't there; she had gone to find Tracy.
……
The next day, Link arrived carrying a briefcase containing $50,000, a Glock 19 rifle, four spare magazines, and an FBI badge.
Upon arriving at the bank again, the manager led him to the vault, then closed the door and left him inside. Link observed the area again, confirming that there were no surveillance cameras. Then, afterimages appeared in the area.
Link used his super speed to open all the safes he had observed yesterday, checked that they weren't what he was looking for, and immediately locked them again. In just one minute, he found his target, took out the contents, and started taking pictures.
These were indeed various pieces of money laundering evidence that Langley had gathered, not just from one or two companies, and all of them were paper documents. Link still used super speed to take photos.
Five minutes later, his time was up; normally, people aren't allowed to linger here for too long.
Link walked out carrying an empty suitcase, said goodbye to the manager, and drove home from the bank.
He used a digital camera, and after returning home, he took out the memory card and checked it on his laptop. Most of the records were of money transactions.
The investigation revealed significant accounting issues with the joint construction company.
Link extracted the portion from the United Construction Company and then emailed it to Coulson.
Soon, Coulson called, saying happily, "Lin, you're very efficient; you got such detailed information so quickly."
"Wilson Fisk himself is difficult to investigate, but United Construction Company is much easier to investigate," Link said. "However, the specific purpose of the forces supporting Fisk is not yet clear. If it's for making money or money laundering, then such a large level of support is not necessary."
"Yes, I think so too. You should continue your investigation," Coulson said.
"By the way, I also have evidence here of Langley Osley laundering money for other criminal groups. Do you want me to send it to you?" Link asked.
"Okay, send them all over!" Coulson thought for a moment, then said, "With these, S.H.I.E.L.D. will have more money in their budget."
"Aren't we a global organization?" Link asked, feigning surprise. "How come we're lacking funding?"
"It's precisely because of the global nature of the organization that there's a lack of funding. You have to understand that funding approval isn't something that can be done by just one company." Coulson wasn't really clear about the funding issue either.
Link chuckled inwardly. Nick Fury was secretly allocating funds to build safe houses and bases around the world, so naturally, the funds were insufficient.
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away. But I guess I've done a good job now?" Link asked.
"Of course, and you made a significant contribution, but since you were promoted to level six ahead of schedule, there won't be any reward this time," Coulson reminded him.
"Alright, I'll try again." Link knew that Hawkeye was a Level 6 agent, someone Nick Fury trusted, and Natasha Romanoff was also only Level 6, thanks to her intelligence capabilities.
Black Widow was originally a target for elimination by S.H.I.E.L.D., but Hawkeye did not choose to eliminate her, but instead recruited her.
Relatively speaking, it would be difficult for her to gain Nick Fury's trust, and Link was not trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. himself, so he is probably still under evaluation.
His mission was more about investigation; after all, Wilson Fisk was just a gang leader on the surface, not worth S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.
Link sent all the remaining files over, then deleted them from the computer. He only kept the photos, but he didn't plan to keep the memory at home; he planned to put it in a bank safe deposit box.
Link was indeed lucky; he had come in handy with the safe again. He was very happy; it was an interesting job that brought a touch of fun to his life.
……
The next day, Link had Jessica dress up and then drove back to the gallery.
Vanessa's last dinner with Fisk didn't go well, and she was a little lost, but she still greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Lin, welcome back again."
"You can call me Lin. This is my girlfriend, Jessica Jones. I was a bit rushed last time and didn't have time to introduce her to you." Link shook hands with her and then introduced Jessica.
After Vanessa and Jessica exchanged greetings, Vanessa asked, "Are you here to continue choosing?"
"That's good, but I'm not in a hurry. The decorations in the house will last a long time, so I need to take them seriously. This is very important to us, and we have plenty of time," Link said.
"Okay, shall we start from where we were last time?" Vanessa guided them on their tour, saying little but accompanying them and keeping an eye on the other guests.
Link already knew the value of the paintings here, and that they were all painted by the same artist.
This person is very talented and has already gained some fame. His paintings are generally priced below $100,000, but he is still young, only in his thirties, and it is already quite remarkable that he has achieved such success.
His future works have great potential for appreciation, and some of the exhibits here are masterpieces.
Link stopped in front of one of the paintings, looked at it carefully, and thought it was pretty good. It had a great sense of space and would be a good choice for the living room.
"Vanessa, I'll take this one," Link said, turning to Vanessa.
"Lin, you really surprise me!" Vanessa was indeed surprised; Link's judgment was truly remarkable.
