The era of American comics begins

Chapter 137 Private Detective
Jessica Jones, a private investigator in Hell's Kitchen, runs "A Fake Name Detective Agency"—but for financial reasons her office is the living room of her apartment.

At the same time, Jessica is also a superpower, and in fact is still a little famous in Hell's Kitchen.In short, she has super strength, speed and extraordinary endurance. After she killed a super criminal named "Purple Man", she became famous in Hell's Kitchen and once became the focus of the market.

Jessica is one of those women who don't like to dress up and maybe even a bit scruffy, she always casually wears a black leather wallet, skinny jeans and black leather boots without heels, anyone who knows her will probably say that she has never seen Jessica Jones has worn anything more feminine.

But even so, for a mature woman of Jessica's good looks and bulging back, the fact that she had neither a partner nor a suitor seemed an anomaly.The primary reason may be related to her extremely sensitive detective sense of smell and the strange strength to lift three or five grown men with bare hands, and the other reason may be because of her violent temper.

Yes, anyone who knows Jessica Jones knows she has terrible emotional issues.Basically she's like a walking powder keg, the kind that explodes when touched.She is irritable and sharp, and she looks fierce to everyone all day long, and she can quarrel with anyone who is within three meters of her.

A week earlier, Jessica Jones had met a few other tough characters, people who might have been more or less like her. "The Demon of Hell's Kitchen" Daredevil, and his killer girlfriend who looks a bit like an oriental ninja, and then the "Iron Fist" who is said to have power from some oriental legend (Jessica can't remember exactly) , and finally the one she is most familiar with—the invulnerable superpower Luke Cage.

Jessica had a strange feeling, as if these few people were destined to meet together, and then destined to accomplish something great.They followed their respective clues to find the Midtown Financial Company, and then the Iron Fist boy told them that the company was actually owned by an ancient evil organization called "The Hand", and explained to them in detail about Kunlun and The entanglement between the Hand.

After a series of experiences of several people, they found out the conspiracy of the Hand - to dig the keel to achieve immortality, but this process may unfortunately sink the whole New York City into the ground to be buried with it.So after several heroes had a fierce dispute, they finally reached an agreement—to enter the financial building in the midtown circle, kill the five leaders of the Hand Association, and stop this evil conspiracy.

As a result, when the five people held the consciousness of seeing death as home and decided to carry forward the heroic spirit and rush into the building to understand everything, they found that someone had already done all the work that should be done for them.

And judging from the previous accident at the abandoned construction site in the midtown circle, it is likely that the mysterious man in armor settled the matter.

In any case, the Hand is dealt with, and there will be nothing for them in the future.The next day, the financial company in Midtown also closed down, and the company building was soon arranged to be blasted.

So the few heroes who had a rare gathering just sipped soy sauce in this incident, went back to their respective homes before doing anything, and continued their daily lives.

For Jessica, her daily life is basically accepting commissions to help people find missing cats and dogs, helping husbands (or wives) take photos of wives (or husbands) having affairs, and even more extraordinary is looking for runaway teenagers some type of.

But this time she received the entrustment seems to be a little different.

This time the client was her landlord.Her landlord came to the door and said that he had a missing nephew and hoped that Jessica could help him find him.He also promised that if Jessica could do it, in addition to paying the detective's fee, he would also be able to exempt Jessica from the rent owed since last month.

As mentioned earlier, Ms. Detective has never been very easy on personal finances, so this proposal is quite tempting.So she agreed to take the job.

It wasn't that Jessica was bragging, but she did have such confidence—as far as she knew, all the private investigators in New York were not half as good at doing their jobs as she was.

The missing child's name is Elvis Yates and he appears to be in his early 20s.Jessica went to look at his residence first, and found evidence that the kid liked to hang out with a group of smugglers almost without difficulty.Then she followed the clues to ask several street gangsters and smugglers, and several of them confided to her about a certain "big case".

Generally speaking, it seems that a certain entrusting party contacted many people through the middle party of the smuggling activity and invited them to participate in a large smuggling activity.A few gangsters who had a slightly better relationship with Elvis speculated that his disappearance might be related to this big case, because Elvis seemed to express his heart for it when they had dinner and drinks a few times ago.

But when asked what the big case was about, everyone gave a unanimous answer of "don't know".But based on experience, Jessica believes that they are not ignorant but unwilling to speak, because it may involve some people or forces that make them very afraid.

But as an experienced detective, Jessica Jones also has her own effective way to deal with this situation.First, you find the right guy, and then you beat him until he's willing to talk, or until you're convinced he really doesn't know anything.

Facts have proved that the old method is always very effective.Harry Temple, a smuggler who was also active in the area, tactfully chose to open his mouth after beating Jessica and seeing her lift his car over his head with one hand.

"You and Elvis got into this business together, and then you got into trouble, and you managed to get out, but the kid didn't. Is that the case?"

These are the information Jessica asked from the last guy she forced to confess.It was a relatively unkind young man who killed Matt. Jessica only showed him the stunt of "tearing the iron chair with bare hands", and the guy was so scared that his crotch was wet.

"What? Who are you listening to?" Temple frowned. "That's not the case. I've always had a good relationship with that kid. I tried my best to dissuade him from this deal, because I've been in this business for a long time. He has been around for a long time, and I know what kind of business is risky."

"But he didn't listen to you?"

"I guess so, but it's hard to blame him, because the price offered by the entrusting party is too attractive. As long as we do this well, we will have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives." Temple said, "The former A few days ago, I heard that Elvis contacted many other brothers and gathered a group of people to join the business."

"Be more specific, tell me about the specific situation of that trip."

"I don't know. Only those who agree to join will know."

"Of course I know that. I'm asking about your client's situation." She asked, "Who hired you to do the work? Who paid you?"

Temple looked troubled.

"I can't say that. If I did, they'd kill me"

"If you don't tell me, I'll put this broken car in your mouth right now." Jessica interrupted roughly.

Temple recalled the scene where the woman had just raised the car with one hand, and couldn't help swallowing.After weighing for a moment, he said again: "I have to warn you, those are very, very powerful characters. You'd better give up and not provoke them."

"That's my business." Jessica was impatient. "Now you either have to say something quickly, or you try to say half a word of nonsense and see if I'm bluffing."

"Okay." Temple held up his hands in a gesture of surrender.After hesitating for a while, he finally lowered his voice and whispered a name.

".It's the Paso Group."
