The inquiry from the Investigation Committee was very polite.
After all, Logan was not a suspect; on the contrary, he was a great hero.
If Logan hadn't saved Kennedy, the Investigation Committee would have had to investigate the President's cause of death.
That was a job destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Moreover, this was Vought's home turf, and Vought's controller personally accompanied him, so the Investigation Committee didn't take long to finish the questioning.
After it ended, Fang Yuan immediately instilled the concept of 'fans first' into Logan, telling him to satisfy fans' needs as much as possible without affecting himself.
"Many fans came from far away just to see you. How can you treat people who love you so much like this?" Fang Yuan used Moral Kidnapping 1.0.
Logan was immediately K.O.'d and nodded quickly: "I understand."
Wolverine was like that; despite his constant cold face, he actually had a personality that was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. After Fang Yuan said that, he put himself in their shoes for a moment and could immediately accept the fans' enthusiasm.
"But I can't delay for too long. I have to rush back to Washington to protect Kennedy," Logan said. "The first attack failed, so the enemy is very likely to organize a second assassination while we are relaxed!"
Even though he was sought after by countless people, Wolverine did not forget his current duties; protecting the President was his primary task.
Fang Yuan, however, highly approved of his thinking and patted Logan on the shoulder commendably.
"Very good, keep it up."
Logan was clearly much more professional than a certain Mystique; even when Raven was on set, she would run over to Fang Yuan every few days to seek advice.
It wasn't that Fang Yuan was annoyed with Raven.
Rather, Raven's uninvited visits often disrupted Fang Yuan's arrangements, as he had many times planned to accept auditions from female stars... However, what Fang Yuan didn't tell Logan was that there would be no second assassination.
He was the one who organized the assassination; would he not know?
"By now, the Bureau of Investigation should have found some clues, right?" he thought.
Although the Investigation Committee was responsible for the assassination case, Frye, as the Underground President, naturally wouldn't let others take the spotlight. Therefore, the Bureau of Investigation also had investigative powers in this matter, though intelligence needed to be shared with the committee.
It must be said that the Bureau of Investigation was not entirely made up of good-for-nothings; especially when the higher-ups didn't interfere too much, the Agents quickly found clues.
"Based on the traces left at the two shooting scenes, we have found the trail of the gunmen."
An Agent reported to Frye.
Because anyone daring to assassinate the President might have a significant background, Frye personally monitored the investigation details.
"Who is it?" Frye asked.
He was already prepared to cover up the truth from the public.
"Both of them come from a local Gang in Dallas; the Gang leader is named Ike Collins," the subordinate answered.
"We secretly captured one gunman, but the other has already been killed by Ike."
The killing of the gunman almost confirmed Ike's threat.
"A Gang?" Frye frowned. "Do we know who the mastermind is?"
Hearing it was a Gang, he subconsciously felt that these were just the people who did the work, and someone else had made the decision.
"The gunman's mind is currently a bit unclear, so we are investigating Ike Collins."
"However, we haven't found any records of Ike Collins discussing the assassination with others. But this man has family ties to the New York Gang giant, the Collins Family, and the Collins Family is very close to that person in Chicago..." The subordinate stopped there.
He didn't know if he should continue.
"The one in Chicago?" Frye was also startled.
He knew who the subordinate was talking about—
Moni Scana, the Gang godfather of Chicago.
Most importantly, the relationship between Scana and the current President, Kennedy, was very subtle.
There had always been rumors that Kennedy's rise to power was not very honorable and that there were Gang shadows behind it.
As the king of intelligence, Frye naturally knew that these rumors were all facts.
When Kennedy was campaigning before, his father approached Scana, using the promise of special treatment for Scana's Gang in the future as leverage to get Scana to help Kennedy win the election.
Scana agreed and manipulated the Illinois State Union, allowing Kennedy to lead in the voting by a narrow margin.
But after Kennedy took office, he turned his back on them, which infuriated Scana.
Of course, the above is the situation in the X-Men World and cannot be compared to the real Universe.
If the assassination was related to Scana, Frye really felt it wasn't impossible.
And... if Moni Scana was the mastermind, it would actually be quite suitable.
After all, compared to suspects like the Freemasons, the Federal Reserve, or high-ranking officials, the impact of the murderer being a Gang leader was undoubtedly much smaller.
"Go and arrest Ike Collins for interrogation!" Frye ordered.
By the time Ike was arrested, Fang Yuan happened to arrive in Dallas to inquire about the progress of the case investigation.
Although Fang Yuan did not belong to the Investigation Committee, his status was special, and Frye did not hide anything from him. So, Fang Yuan happened to see the scene of Ike Collins being brought back.
Ike's clothes were disheveled, and as he got closer, Fang Yuan even smelled the scent of roasted meat; clearly, Ike had been caught in the middle of a party.
"Let me go! Why are you arresting me!" Ike struggled constantly, but he was pinned down by the Agents' collective strength.
Once he was thrown into the cell and the investigators began their questioning, Ike's gaze suddenly became dull.
"Assassinating the President... me?"
It was clear that Ike had also just found out that he had murdered the President.
Even he was surprised that he actually had such capability.
"He doesn't have that much skill. To accurately hit the President's vehicle from such a distance and evade tight security is something a local Dallas Gang simply cannot do!" Frye said to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded.
Exactly, the next step was to investigate the Collins Family in New York to make room for the expansion of his Black Robe Gang!
"Therefore, I have reason to suspect that Moni Scana masterminded all of this!"
Fang Yuan was suddenly stunned.
Moni Scana?
Who's that?
After listening to Frye's reasoning, Fang Yuan blinked blankly.
A Gang giant planned the murder to retaliate against Kennedy?
Even he, the mastermind, had also just learned this 'truth'.
He only wanted to target a Gang family in New York; he didn't intend to target a national-level Gang giant.
After all, after taking down Scana, the Black Robe Gang's current size wouldn't be enough to replace him.
"We should still be a bit more rigorous; we can't wrong the innocent," Fang Yuan couldn't help but say.
Frye looked over with a strange expression; he found it hard to believe these words actually came from Fang Yuan's mouth.
Do you not have any idea how Congressman Patrick died?
Fang Yuan immediately found an excuse: "This will involve Kennedy's privacy, and he's about to run for reelection."
Frye nodded; that made more sense.
However, Fang Yuan did start to pay some attention to Moni Scana. His accidental and chaotic operation had actually caused this national Gang boss to reveal a flaw.
Fang Yuan had to make good use of this opportunity.
If he could get Scana's help, then Fang Yuan's Black Robe Gang would surely develop by leaps and bounds.
Of course, Scana certainly wouldn't help for no reason, so it would all depend on Fang Yuan.
