Chapter 35: Exploration
Ivan looked at the man, he was dressed in a light gray suit, and the combination of sunglasses and guide crutches made him look like a blind man.
"You are?"
"I've heard fights here from a long distance, and now tell me, has anyone fallen to the ground?" The man asked.
"Do you still smell what seems to be blood?" Ivan asked.
The man in sunglasses was silent for two seconds, and then spoke: "That smell is much lighter, but I believe my feeling that someone should have been killed here before, because I still heard the sound of gunfire after being mufflered." โ
"Are you a resident of the neighborhood?" Jessica asked.
The man in sunglasses' ears moved, and he nodded: "Yes, my name is Matt Murdoch, what about you?" โ
He stood there, feeling everything in the room, the smell of blood almost completely gone, and without a source.
He was a little skeptical that he had made a mistake.
"Jessica. Jones. โ
"Ivan Jones." Ivan also introduced himself.
"Oh, then you guys... Are you sure it's okay? Matt asked.
"Mr. Murdoch, it's quite brave for you to push the door in when you hear a fight here." Ivan smiled.
"I thought someone needed help."
Matt said, "May I come in and sit down?" โ
Jessica looked at Ivan, as if asking for advice.
Ivan nodded, thinking to himself that this was your firm, and you could decide for yourself.
"Come in."
Matt took a deep breath and walked in, tapping his guide stick on the ground and walking to the ground where Kevin had fallen just now.
"The couch is over here." Ivan reminded.
"I'm sorry, I'm blind."
As he spoke, he held out his guide stick and pointed at the ground, as if to test something.
Are there no corpses? Could it be that I'm wrong?
Matt thought so and took a few steps to sit on the client's couch.
"You guys here... What is it for? Matt asked.
"Private Detective." Jessica said, "This is a detective agency, and we accept some investigative commissions. โ
"I see, I'm a lawyer, and speaking of... I may cooperate with you in the future. Matt said absentmindedly.
"Thanks, but we're here for the summer." Jessica smiled.
She paused, and then asked curiously: "You can't see things, isn't it inconvenient to engage in this profession?" โ
"Ever since I lost my sight, other senses have become extremely acute, and many things can be felt by perception."
"I see." Jessica nodded in confusion.
The three of them chatted for a while, but Matt really didn't find anything abnormal, and his doubts were gradually dispelled.
Finally he cleared his throat and said he had something to do and got up and left.
"Jessica, shall I go buy breakfast?"
"Hmm..."
...
Over the next few days, Jessica's firm reached an agreement with Kim to permanently waive the protection fee.
In addition, no gang is allowed to fight in the neighborhood of the office.
Days go by, and the summer vacation is coming to an end, during which Jessica has taken over two commissions, both to investigate whether someone else's husband is cheating.
And Jessica does have some skills, and she caught others in bed twice, so she earned a little fame in the neighborhood.
She also showed off to Ivan: "(เนโนโกโน) How is ใ~ My "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" is not for nothing~! โ
To this, Ivan responded with a smile: "Jessica, are you sure you are not watching "Sherlock Holmes"? โ
"Damn Fan!"
After school started, Ivan, Jessica, and Angel returned to Queens.
Cullen and Banner continued to take care of Manhattan's orchards.
Jessica this semester is a campus celebrity.
Because she made public the fact that she opened a detective agency in the Clinton District, she showed that she was a detective and could come to her for anything.
Of course, there is a commission fee, and the price is negotiable depending on the situation!
Recently, she received a commission, and she told Ivan about it, right in Ivan's dormitory.
She said she was commissioned to investigate the recent frequent loss of underwear in her dorm.
Ivan became interested and asked, "Did the girls' panties be stolen by some pervert?" The goal is to find out who is that pervert? โ
"No!" Jessica shook her head, "Men's and women's panties, lost indiscriminately!" โ
"No difference? Boys also lose their panties? โ
"Yes, the underwear in the room is gone if you are not careful~ Many boys and I have reported that they are the same." Jessica said, "Even a pair of my panties were stolen!" โ
"That's weird indeed."
Ivan nodded, it did sound strange, but Ivan didn't lose a pair of panties.
"Fan, do you know what's weirder?"
Jessica sat next to Ivan and mysteriously approached Ivan.
"What's even stranger?"
"Some people sleep in underwear when they go to bed at night, but when they wake up in the morning, they find that the underwear they are wearing is gone!"
"Are you sure you didn't make it up to make it up to make me play?" Ivan couldn't help but want to laugh.
How can someone steal it if it is worn and pressed on the body?
"Hehe, everyone, whether it's a boy or a girl, it's indiscriminate loss of underwear! The other party is really a big pervert! โ
"Any clues now?"
"At present, according to the clues I have gathered, I do have a suspicion in my mind." Jessica said.
"It's Detective Jessica, such a bizarre thing has been investigated... So according to the clues, who do you suspect is the one who stole the underwear? โ
"It's Fan!" Jessica pointed to Ivan's face.
