The Great Winter Soldier

Nicole's choice obviously surprised Xia Tian, ​​because Nicole did not choose a quiet and secluded location, but chose to rent an apartment.

Yes, this apartment is a rectangular parallelepiped like a "matchbox". There are several "matchboxes" standing around it. It looks neat and tidy, but the gaps between the houses are large and not compact. In total, there are only a dozen households. It is located in the northern part of Brooklyn, a few blocks away from the jurisdiction of Queens. This small apartment is a relatively typical family building. It has two floors. The first floor has only the living room and kitchen, and nothing else. The second floor has two bedrooms, several cloakrooms and a bathroom, which sounds like a lot. Looks like, actually one is smaller than the other

Outside the door is a courtyard surrounded by a white fence. Calling it a courtyard is a bit flattering, but it is actually just a place to dry clothes.

Xia Tian never dreamed that he would live in such a typical American family room. This seemed completely inconsistent with his status. Did Nicole really want to live at home here?

The neighbors around seemed quite friendly and didn't have anything to say about Xia Tian's skin color, but it was hard to say what they were thinking. Obviously their attitude towards Nicole and Xia Tian's attitude were very different. When the two After moving into this place, the neighbor's aunt on the left came to celebrate with an apple pie. She dragged Nicole to ask questions and introduced the surrounding neighbors. Finally, after repeated inquiries and confirming that Nicole was Xia Tian's wife, although The expressions were still polite, but who were Xia Tian and Nicole? Of course they could see the look of "pity" in Auntie's eyes.

"Linda" Nicole closed the door and whispered Auntie's name softly, with a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Why did you choose this place?" Xia Tian asked, looking at the clean and tidy houses around him.

"Sorry, Xia Tian, ​​I know her attitude just now." Nicole hesitated before speaking, "It's difficult for us to change the current situation of this society."

"No, you know I don't care about these things." Xia Tian shook his head and continued to ask, "I mean, why choose to live here, you know how busy we are, maybe just live here for one night, and then I might even forget that we rented a house like this.”

"I will stay here for at least two nights." Nicole said Xia Tian's unclear words and secretly executed her own plan. She knew that Xia Tian was accommodating her. The nature of their work was really not suitable for them. Living in such a residential area, Nicole hurriedly changed the subject, "That Daredevil Matt Murdock, how is your investigation going?"

Xia Tian opened her mouth, and finally chose not to continue to struggle with Nicole on this issue. While Nicole was "not doing her job", Xia Tian had already found an interesting case and said, "I think we can go to Matt's tomorrow." The law firm paid a visit.”

"You really found a handle on him." Nicole was a little surprised and said, "When he first educated me, he was full of confidence and had a tough attitude."

Xia Tian rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out a newspaper clipping. There was a picture of a man who died tragically. His body was hit by a subway train and was broken into several pieces. The picture was very bloody. The painting below is two overlapping, burning "D" shapes. The flames are burning on the subway platform. The style of the painting is very strange.

"This is" Nicole blinked and subconsciously touched the necklace she was wearing around her neck. The pendant in front was exactly two dark red overlapping "d"s.

"This is the symbol of Daredevil." Xia Tian said in a deep voice. If it was not framed, then this person's death should have a lot to do with Daredevil.

"you"

"The dead man, Custar, was a notorious gangster leader in Hell's Kitchen. At the end of June, he raped and abused a woman." Xia Tian took the newspaper clipping and waved it in front of Nicole, " Ms Sutton's lawyer

That person is none other than Matt Murdock. "

The corners of Xia Tian's mouth raised slightly, and he whispered: "Guess what happened next? On July 7, Cu Shida was acquitted in court, and then that night, in the bar that Cu Shida frequented, a group of his subordinates were arrested He was beaten to a pulp, and in the subway station opposite the bar, Mr. Custar was hit in two by the subway. The police have always denied the existence of Daredevil as a social security policeman, but on the subway platform, this burning D appeared. Alphabet screen.”

Nicole stroked the double "D" pendant around her neck and said, "This is the first time you gave me a gift, and it turned out to be someone else's symbol."

Xia Tian's hand holding the newspaper clipping froze in the air. After being stunned for a long time, she slowly put the clipping away: "I'm talking to you about business, Nicole."

Nicole took off the necklace and put it into Xia Tian's pocket. She said nothing, indicating that she had entered the attitude of "talking about business" and said: "His words and deeds are not consistent with what he taught me that night."

"We will visit him tomorrow morning. If possible, I hope he can join our team. This method doesn't seem to be any worse than ours." Xia Tian stood up, turned around and went upstairs, leaving Nicole behind. shrugged his shoulders.

The next day, the two of them didn't waste much time and arrived at Matt's workplace. Unfortunately, Matt didn't seem to be here.

"Wait a minute, sir and madam, he will be here in a moment, I have already called." Matt's colleague said with a smile, looking at Nicole covertly.

In Hell's Kitchen, a place where gold and gold dominate the sky, there are only two extreme options for having the courage to be a lawyer: either this person is really a naive and righteous lawyer, or this person is just a person who makes money from the gaps in the law. , a black-hearted lawyer who protects the Kingpin forces and helps them gain more wealth.

Judging from the lawyer's attitude towards Matt in his words, Xia Tian believed that the lawyer standing in front of him was the latter, and he also believed that the vast majority of lawyers in this law firm belonged to the latter.

The two waited for almost 20 minutes. While Nicole was fiddling with her fingers in boredom, Matt finally came. He wore dark red glasses and kept touching the ground with a blind stick. He walked away like a blind man. Come in.

However, both Xia Tian and Nicole knew that this blind man could clearly "see" the entire world.

"I said, you kid is really lucky today. You have made a fortune. You have two big investors who look very important. You must seize it." A white lawyer came to Matt with envy and jealousy. , looking at the blind man in front of him, he cursed in his heart why Matt was so lucky.

The white lawyer just now recommended himself highly, but it did not impress the young man and woman at all.

Matt smiled and shook his head: "The people I represent are penniless poor people. Where can I find anything?"

Matt's words were normal, and he stopped suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, and then he turned around slightly, frowned deeply, and walked towards Xia Tian and Nicole step by step.

If you are an ordinary person, you may not recognize Xia Tian and Nicole, but Daredevil never uses his eyes to see people's faces. He uses his ears to listen and identify a person's identity. Those two sitting in the office meeting The tall man and woman undoubtedly overlapped with the two mysterious figures last night.

While walking, Matt quickly managed his expression, while pretending to tap with his blind stick, he staggered to the door and slowly opened it.

"They told me that someone is waiting for me here, don't you want to say hello?" Matt deliberately "looked" in the wrong direction, looking at the other side of Xia Tian and the two of them.

Xia Tian silently watched the performance of the person in front of him, and one sentence brought Matt back to reality from his dream: "It seems that you were seriously injured that night. You are blind, and your heart is also blind."
