It was noon, Liu Zheng and the others were in a hurry, and before they had time to eat, Danny ordered some takeout from the restaurant across the street, and several people sat down at Claire's house, chatting while eating.

Davos had just arrived in New York and was not familiar with the situation here, so Danny gave an overview of the current situation, including the grand challenge that was forcibly interrupted, the fact that the Hand was secretly selling drug pins within the RAND Group, and of course, the strange earthquake a day earlier.

"So, after the pin production line was cut off, the Hand disappeared again?" Davos's thick eyebrows were tangled, and his fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, "You can find out that one of the elders who defected back then is already Kunlun's biggest breakthrough in tracking down the Hand in the past few decades, but... Alas, you shouldn't have let that female steward go. ”

Liu Zheng shook his head and said: "In that raid, the real Hand Gang members committed suicide at the first time, that female administrator is just the person in charge of the poison pin production line, which is equivalent to an external professional manager, she knows very little about the Hand Combination, and we can't get useful information from her." ”

"Yes, Mrs. Gao is very strict, I had a trick with a master of the Hand Association, but the next day she killed the loser, and cut off her head for a mailbox, which is so ruthless!" Danny also said.

Hearing Danny mention this, Liu Zheng remembered what Mrs. Gao said to him that day, if it was really as she said, then she could not be regarded as a vicious person, after all, it was not a fault for the superior to kill decisively.

Davos asked in detail about Danny Rand's attack last night and he almost fell to his death.

Speaking of this, Danny was so angry that he wanted to slap the table: "Who knows! That woman came out of nowhere, and she cut people without saying a word! I didn't plan to kill Harold, but the woman felt like she was going for him, and she cut off her head with a single knife. Now that I think about it, it's good that the building collapsed, otherwise I might have to bear the blame for Harold's murder. ”

"How is that person's martial arts?"

Danny thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Unfathomable! Her speed is very fast, and her strength is ridiculously great, although I can't figure out her martial arts, but I have a feeling that her footsteps and sword skills should be the same as the assassination techniques of Japanese ninjas. ”

"It seems very likely that she is from the Hand Club."

"Well, I guess so, too. We got the tablet that the Hand used to trade poison pins, and Harold seems to have used the data to track the Hand account, and transferred a large amount of money inside, and it is very likely that the Hand came to seek revenge this time. ”

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute."

When Luo Zhijian heard this, he asked curiously: "Why do you immediately think of the Hand when you talk about Japanese ninjas?" Isn't Mrs. Gao from our Chinese, so where did she get so many Japanese? ”

Danny explains: "The Hand has a presence on five continents: North America, South America, Asia, Africa, and Europe, with five chieftains each occupying one place, Lady Gao's sphere of influence in North America, and others in Asia. We've fought against the Asian Hand Clans, and their main fighting power is ninjas. ”

"Damn, awesome! Ninja can ninjutsu not? Like in Naruto? ”

"Uh... It's not that mysterious, but they do have their own set of means. ”

Luo Zhijian wanted to ask again, but Liu Zheng interrupted him and said, "Let's talk about business, don't you crooked the building." ”

Davos straightened the building again according to Liu Zheng's words: "So we guess that this person should be from the Asian branch." To tell you the truth, when I came to New York this time, it was Kunlun who found out about the changes in Asia and sent me over for reinforcements. ”

Mrs. Gao is the head of the North American branch, but now there are people from the Asian branch coming to New York, are they also here to reinforce them? Thinking of what she said earlier, what important things need to be dealt with, what exactly does the Hand want to do in New York? Mrs. Gao's face flashed from her mind, and Liu Zheng had a very strange feeling, always feeling that there was something that seemed familiar, but she couldn't tell the reason. This weird feeling has been lingering in my mind lately, and every time I think about it, it always makes him restless, and it's very diaphragmatic.

Just as he was slightly distracted, the phone in his pocket vibrate, and he picked it up to see that the caller was Jessica Jones, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey, Liu. Where are you, I need your help, immediately, immediately! ”

Jessica on the other end of the phone looked anxious.

Liu Zheng felt that it was not convenient to let her come over now, so he said, "Why don't I go to you." ”

"No, no, no, I'm not in a safe situation right now, I'll go to you."

Liu Zheng pressed the phone receiver and asked for everyone's opinions, and then told her the address of Claire's home.

Luo Zhijian saw that Liu Zheng hung up the phone, and laughed: "Your little girlfriend is looking for you." ”

"Ah, girlfriend?

Really! When did it happen? Danny's eyes were shyly aimed at Liu Zheng, and the fire of gossip in his chest was burning.

Liu Zheng jumped up and slammed Luo Zhijian, and Danny laughed. Davos was heartbroken: "Oh, the elders asked you to come out to do something, not to make your children love each other... Why don't you introduce me to my brother..."Although Claire couldn't understand what they were saying, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw such a harmonious scene.

After about half an hour, there was a knock on the door outside, and it was Jessica who had arrived. She is still the same, depressed, the only difference is that she is followed by another beautiful girl of the same age.

After everyone greeted each other, they each sat down, Jessica obviously didn't expect that Liu Zheng was still a lot of people here, and she didn't know how to say what she wanted to say.

Liu Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, these are my best friends, don't hesitate to say anything you want." ”

Jessica pondered for a moment, then finally spoke.

The girl she brought with her was a good friend of hers, named Patricia Tracy Walker. Speaking of this Tracy, it is a big name, she is a female anchor of New York WNEX Radio, and the evening talk show "Tracy Says" is very popular with the public, at least Danny and Claire have heard of her.

It happened last night, when she was hosting the audience interaction session of "Tracy Said", she heard terrible news, but the show was stopped only halfway through the recording, which was the first time in her entire career. Tracy kept an eye on it afterwards and secretly took the mastertape of that night's show, wanting to go home and listen to it again to see if she could figure out what was going on. But that night, two police officers came to the door and said that someone had reported that Tracy was in illegal possession of a firearm and wanted to break into the house. Fortunately, Tracy is not a person who has never seen the world, he asked the police officer to provide a search warrant or refused to open the door, and the two policemen saw that the persuasion was fruitless, and they actually began to smash the door directly. That scene frightened Tracy, but luckily Jessica arrived just in time to drive them away.

Her original apartment was definitely uninhabitable, and Jessica's own home was even more unsafe, and there was not even a lock on the door, so it was naturally not suitable for her. Therefore, Jessica thought about it, and there was only Liu Zheng who was a friend who could talk, so she came to the door.

"What's the matter?" Danny asked.

"I made a copy of the original recording, and I brought it with me this time." Jesse said as he took out an mp3 from his bag and pressed play:

"After this kind of thing, how can I tell my children that our world is actually dangerous, that there are natural disasters or terrorist attacks everywhere?" The man's voice trembled with fear.

"This gentleman, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, the mayor's office has issued a notice this morning, confirming that this small earthquake with a seismic intensity of only 4.6 magnitude, a shallow earthquake, the epicenter is in Hell's Kitchen. Experts are said to be examining the fault line of the Hudson River to determine whether the earthquake was caused by it. ”

The man in the first recording hangs up the phone, and the next one to pick up is a woman with a hurried voice.

"Ms. Jane from Brooklyn, this is Tracy Says, how did you feel last night?"

"It's definitely not an earthquake, I can assure you!"

"Well, yes, Brooklyn is not in the area of this local earthquake. So if you don't feel it, it's really not an earthquake to you..."

"No, I mean, whatever it is, it's wrong for you to play it like that."

"Listen ma'am, I know it's easy for people to succumb to fear, but..."

"I'm not a conspiracy theorist! I'm a geographer. A shallow earthquake is defined as a distance of no more than 80 km from the ground from the epicenter. But in last night's earthquake, the epicenter was only more than 90 meters above the ground! ”

"Wait a minute, what did you say?"

“... Toot toot. ”

"Hey, hey? Are you still listening to the phone? ... Well, it seems that the phone line has also been affected, and we continue to listen to everyone's thoughts after a commercial break. ”

What follows is a conversation between Tracy and the director.

"What happened just now, you pinched my call?"

"There was a call from above, so let's not talk about the earthquake yet. I don't know why, but listening to their tone is very serious. ”

"Okay, I see."

At this point, the recording ends.

Tracy picked up the conversation and said, "The boss of the company asked the announcer to hang up on me, and also asked us to urgently insert the news that Harry Osborne is returning to New York today in the second half of the program to officially inherit the Osborne Group. I know it's just a pretense to hope I don't talk nonsense. ”

"The depth of the epicenter is 90 meters... What a concept. Danny estimated and said in surprise, "90 meters, that's not as tall as the RAND Group Building, is the earthquake so shallow?" ... It can't be artificial, right? ”

Either it's man-made, or there's some monster coming out of the ground. We can still help with the former, and the latter can only call Ultraman~" Luo Zhijian smiled, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "This earthquake should be felt in the whole of Manhattan, right?" The center is in Hell's Kitchen, and there are so many houses in Haarlem a block away, and the Upper West Side must have been shaken, and the Avengers are not here to investigate? ”

Jessica sneered: "The Avengers are not in New York at all, they are all out." ”

It's no wonder that with so many strange things going on in New York recently, the only reason why the Avengers have always remained on hold is that they are not there, and they may be carrying out a covert operation somewhere in the world.

"Expect those who are high up to help out? Hey, dreaming. Jessica stinked, "Their eyes are only on the threat from the sky, and we street fights don't look at it at all." ”

Jessica's dislike of the Avengers made everyone present a little puzzling, but others didn't know why Jessica hated the Avengers so much, but Liu Zheng knew the reason. Her parents were employees of Stark Industries before their deaths, and when Jessica was in middle school, a serious car accident took the lives of their entire family, and Jessica became an orphan, but because the car accident happened on the way to vacation, she could not apply for the company's work-related injury compensation, and only received a small amount of compensation from the New York Union. If it weren't for someone who adopted her, Jessica would have lived an unbearable life that I can't imagine now.

Although legally speaking, Stark does not need compensation, but from Jessica's emotional point of view, she does have reason to hate Tony Stark, and even the entire Avengers team.

Liu Zheng patted her arm, calmed her emotions, and then said aloud: "In any case, Jessica is right about one thing, we can't expect the reunion in this matter, we have to do it ourselves." Danny, since Harold can push back the Hand bank accounts, let's see if we can find out who these accounts are opened to, and we can continue to investigate in depth from this opening. ”

"Okay, brother."

Liu Zheng asked Jessica again: "By the way, Jessie, are you still investigating John Raymond's case?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"No, I have a strange feeling that John Raymond's disappearance is not that simple. If you want to continue the investigation, you must pay attention to safety. Liu Zheng frowned and shook his head, he vaguely felt that the hand, the earthquake, and the disappearance of the architect, these intricate characters and events were converging into a big net, enveloping all of them in it.

Regarding Tracy's safety, the tycoon Danny patted his chest and agreed: "Don't worry about your safety, I'll arrange this, I will provide a special car and a safe apartment for you to stay, free of charge, you can live whenever you want." ”

Trish was excited, which was much higher than she had expected.

"And then there's the last mention of uniting more forces, Claire, is there any progress?"

"I went to Daredevil, but the man was retired. I'm waiting for a friend right now, who will be released from prison in a few days, who is a very reliable guy and a well-known community hero in Haarlem..."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her strangely, Claire hurriedly explained: "He's not a criminal! He was wronged. He took down Haarlem's most vicious gang, the Vipers, which is why he was convicted of 'intentional injury'. ”

“… All right. ”

Liu Zheng looked at everyone sitting in the room: him, the human worm, Danny, Davos... Several others are ordinary people. With just a few of them, if they fight head-on with the Hand Club, there is no chance of victory. Besides, if it's Mrs. Gao on the other side, how much combat effectiveness can I still exert...

"That's right, senior brother. I'd like to ask you to do me a favor when it comes to finding allies. Danny interrupted Liu Zheng's thoughts, and said with some embarrassment, "When I first came to New York, I established some contacts with the local Chinese gang 'Triad', and they also had festivals with the Hand Association, and I always wanted to form an alliance with them, but... Now that Ward is gone, the company is just me and Joey in charge. Joey is a novice president, and I'm not good at business, so I really can't spare the time, can you please go for me? ”

Triad, this name Liu Zheng has really heard of.

Maybe many people are not familiar with it, but if you mention the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", everyone must have heard of it. There is another name for the triad that is also thunderous, and that is "Hongmen"!

These three are actually talking about the same gang, but they are called differently.

Today, in the 21st century, the gangs established by those far-sighted people have long lost their political significance, and no one mentions the lofty ideals of the past, but the so-called tiger is still the largest Chinese gang in the United States, manipulating a lot of business in the American underground world.

If he had the opportunity to deal with them, Liu Zheng would be very interested.
