Marvel's Maelstrom

Chapter 35 Investigation
Late that night, in the office of the director of the Trident Building, the headquarters of SHIELD in New York, the current director of SHIELD and senior agent Coulson was watching the video of today's battle on Broadway.

"Well, what's the result of the investigation?" Nick Fury asked.

"Gwen Stacy, daughter of NYPD Commissioner George Stacy."

"Mother Helen Stacey is a full-time wife and has three younger brothers."

"I am a high school student at Midtown High School with excellent grades, a sunny and cheerful personality, and a strong sense of justice. I am 90% sure that she is the ghost spider that appeared recently." Coulson took out a document and said.

Nick Fury took the document from Coulson and said, "90%?"

"Yes, because during the previous investigation, it was found that Gwen also appeared in the school when the ghost spider appeared, which constituted evidence of her absence, so we excluded her from the list from the beginning."

"But after our in-depth investigation, we found that more and more clues point to her, and we have even basically determined that Gwen Stacy is the ghost spider, but because of the alibi, we set the possibility at 90%." Coulson explained.

"Well, keep talking." Nick Fury nodded uncompromisingly.

"Zhou Jiawen, a Chinese-American, grew up in the United States. Both his parents died, leaving him a large inheritance."

"He is also a high school student in Midtown High School. He is in the same class as Gwen Stacy. His grades are mediocre, and there is nothing particularly outstanding. He and Gwen Stacy should be dating."

"Zhou Jiawen first entered our scope of investigation because of the theft of King Kong's corpse from the New York Museum of History and Natural History."

"He and Gwen Stacy visited the museum that day and stopped in front of King Kong's body for a while."

"But our follow-up investigation found that they went home after leaving the museum. There was nothing suspicious, so we ruled out their suspicion."

"Later, because of the investigation of the ghost spider, Gavin Zhou entered our scope of investigation again. This time, after in-depth investigation, we found that this person has a big problem." Coulson said with a frown.

"Big question?"

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Jiawen's information at first glance."

"But after a deep understanding, I found that his life transition in the first ten years was very strange. He had no relatives, no friends, even his parents. He was like the background board of this world. It was not until recently that he began to become three-dimensional. Get up," Coulson said.

"Is his information forged?" Nick Fury asked.

"That's the problem. All his documents are true and correct, and we can't find any problems, but I just find it strange." Coulson said firmly.

"Show me his information." Nick Fury said.

"Okay, I'm ready, that's all." Coulson quickly took out a bunch of documents and said.

After receiving the documents, Nick Fury began to carefully read them one by one. The more he looked at them, the deeper his frown became. Although he couldn't see any problems with the documents, he also felt that something was wrong, "Go ahead and talk about your research situation."

"Okay," Coulson nodded and continued: "After our investigation, we found that Gavin Zhou bought a lot of supplies recently, but after the supplies were delivered to his home, no one saw them coming out of it."

"Judging from the list of materials, he should be decorating or building a house. Judging from the amount of materials, he can knock down and rebuild his small building dozens of times."

"The other is the mysterious person who stole King Kong's body in the museum."

"There has been no news since he appeared that time, and we haven't found any useful information."

"And he reappeared today in the fight on Broadway, seemingly as a ghost spider wounded for protection and abhorring the fight."

"He calls himself Shadow, and it seems that he has an unusual relationship with the ghost spider. The battle suits they wear are similar in style, one black and one white, and they should be made by the same person."

"He took the body of the abomination after the Broadway fight, and he was there shortly after to save Big Daddy Damon McCready and Kick-off Dave Lezeski from the live-streamed executions of drug lord Frank. "

"Then he and Super Killer Mindy McCready took action to destroy the drug lord Frank's power. Damon McCready's computer technology is okay to fool people like Frank, but it's still too immature for us."

"Based on various evidences, this mysterious figure should belong to Gwen's boyfriend Zhou Jiawen." In the end, Coulson concluded.

"Do you know why a person who has hidden himself for so many years suddenly starts to show his talents?" Nick Fury asked.

After hesitating for a while, Coulson said, "Well, it should be because of Gwen Stacy. The root cause of the matter should be a visit to the Columbia University Science Center organized by Midtown High School not long ago."

"After that day, the relationship between Gwen Stacy and Zhou Jiawen became closer, and New York City also had a chivalrous ghost spider."

"But the surveillance video of the Columbia University Science Center was stolen that day, and Zhou Jiawen should have done it."

"Because of a woman?" Nick Fury smiled and asked, "What about the ability assessment?"

"Ghost Spider, a female, possesses extraordinary strength, extraordinary speed, and extraordinary reflexes, and her physique seems to be much stronger than that of Captain America."

"It can be adsorbed on the surface of objects, and white spider silk can be sprayed from the wrist, and its texture is not weaker than steel bars."

"He has compassion and a sense of justice, and his methods are aboveboard. He never kills criminals. He can be regarded as a template character for a superhero." Coulson said with some appreciation.

"Well, he is indeed a good kid with great potential." Nick Fury also praised.

"As for Ying, the strength, speed, and reaction are far beyond ordinary people."

"Although the number of appearances is not many, the abilities displayed are very diverse. They can fly. In the battle with the abomination and the Hulk, they showed the power to manipulate water, fire, earth, thunder, wind and other substances."

"It can split weapons such as missile cables from the body. The body seems to have been modified. Judging from his abomination, King Kong's corpse seems to have the ability to space."

"There are also some powers that we can't analyze, such as the ability to knock the abomination out of thin air, and the ability to draw something from the abomination's body to kill the abomination, etc."

"Generally speaking, Ying's strength is very strong, but he acts mysteriously and makes decisive moves, making it difficult to judge his position."

"He kept himself well hidden up until the time at the Columbia University Science Center."

"But since King Kong's time, he has shown more traces, until this time he directly appeared in front of the public, and even said his name. There should be some changes that we don't know about." Elson said.
