Jessica Jones, a private investigator in Hell's Kitchen, runs a "pseudonymous detective agency" — but for financial reasons, her office is her apartment living room.

At the same time, Jessica is also a superpower, and in fact has a small reputation in the Hell's Kitchen area. In short, she has super-strength, speed, and extraordinary stamina, and has made a name for herself in Hell's Kitchen after she stabbed a mind-controlled super-criminal named "Purple Man".

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

But despite this, for a mature woman like Jessica, who is beautiful and convex and backward, the fact that she has neither a partner nor a suitor seems a bit unusual. The first reason for this may have something to do with her extremely keen detective sense of smell and her strange ability to lift three or five grown men with her bare hands, but the other reason may be because of her short temper.

Yes, anyone who knows Jessica Jones knows that she has terrible emotional problems. Basically, she's like a walking powder keg, the kind that explodes at the slightest touch. She is irascible and snarky, and she looks like she is fierce to everyone all day long, and can quarrel with anyone who comes within three meters of her.

A week ago, Jessica Jones met several other ruthless characters, several people who might have some resemblance to her. Daredevil, the "Hell's Kitchen Demon", and his killer girlfriend who looks a bit like an Oriental ninja, then the "Iron Fist" whose power is said to come from some Oriental legend (Jessica can't remember clearly), and finally the one she is most familiar with - the invulnerable superpower Luke Cage.

Jessica had a strange feeling, as if they were destined to meet each other and then be destined to accomplish something big. They followed their own clues to the Midtown Circle Finance Company, and then the Iron Fist Boy told them that the company was actually owned by an ancient evil organization called the "Hand Clan", and explained to them in detail the entanglement between Kunlun and the Hand Circle.

After a series of experiences with several people, they uncover the Hand's conspiracy to dig up dragon bones to achieve immortality, but the process may unfortunately sink the entire city of New York City into the ground for burial. After a fierce argument between the heroes, they finally come to an agreement to enter the Midtown Circle Financial Building and kill the five leaders of the Hand to stop this evil plot.

As a result, when the five of them decided to rush into the building with a heroic spirit and learn everything, they found that someone had already done all the work for them.

And judging from the previous accident in the abandoned construction site in the Midtown Circle, eighty percent of it is likely that the mysterious man in armor settled this matter.

In any case, the handcraft will be done, and there will be nothing to do with them in the future. The next day, the Midtown Circle Finance Company also collapsed, and the company building was quickly scheduled to be demolished.

So the heroes who rarely got together just beat the soy sauce in this incident, and before they had time to do anything, they went back to their respective homes and continued their daily lives.

For Jessica, her daily routine is basically to accept commissions to help find missing cats and dogs, help her husband (or wife) take pictures of his wife (or husband's) affairs, and even better yet, find runaway teenagers and the like.

But this time, she seemed to be a little different when she received the commission.

This time the client was her landlord. Her landlord came to the door and said that he had a nephew who was missing, and hoped that Jessica could help him get it back. He also assured that if Jessica could do it, he would be able to forgive Jessica's rent arrears since last month, in addition to paying the detective's fees.

As mentioned earlier, Miss Detective has not been very lenient in terms of personal finances, so this offer is quite tempting. So she agreed to take the job.

It's not that Jessica is boasting, but she does have the confidence that as far as she knows, all the private investigators in New York are not as good as she is at doing their jobs.

The missing child's name was Elvis Yates, and he was in his early twenties. Jessica first went to his residence and found evidence of the child's usual habit of hanging out with a group of smugglers. She then followed the trail to a few street thugs and smugglers, several of whom confided in her about a particular "big case."

Roughly speaking, it seems that a client has contacted many people through the intermediary of the smuggling activity and invited them to participate in a large smuggling activity. A few thugs who had a slight relationship with Elvis speculated that his disappearance might have something to do with the big case, as Elvis seemed to be tempted by it during their previous dinner and drinking parties.

But when asked what the big case was about, everyone unanimously replied "I don't know". But from experience, Jessica believes that they are not unaware but reluctant to say, because it may involve certain people or forces that they are very afraid of.

But as an experienced detective, Jessica Jones also has a set of effective ways to deal with this situation. First, you find the right person, and then you beat him all over the ground until he is willing to speak, or until you are sure that he really doesn't know anything.

As it turns out, the old way always works. Harry Temple, a smuggler who is also active in the area, is amusefully willing to confess after being beaten by Jessica and witnessing her lift his car over his head with one hand.

"You got involved with Elvis in the deal, and then you got into trouble, and you managed to get out, but that kid didn't, is that the case?"

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

"What? Who are you listening to nonsense? Temple frowned, "That's not the case. I had always had a good relationship with that kid, and I did my best to persuade him to ignore the deal, because I had been in the business longer than him, and I knew what kind of deal was risky. ”

"But he didn't listen to you?"

"I guess so, but it's hard to blame him, because the price offered by the client is so tempting. As long as we do a good job of this vote, we will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Temple said, "I heard the other day that Elvis had contacted a number of other brothers and had gathered a group of people to join the business. ”

"To be specific, tell me about that trip."

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

"Of course I know that, I'm asking you about the client." She asked, "Who hired you to do the work?" Who pays you? ”

Temple grimaced.

"I can't say that. If I did, they would have taken me."

"If you don't, I'll shove this broken car out of your mouth right now." Jessica interrupted rudely.

Temple remembered the scene where the woman had just lifted the car with one hand, and couldn't help but swallow. After weighing it for a moment, he added, "I have to warn you, those are very, very powerful people. You'd better stop and don't provoke it."

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

"Okay." Temple raised his hands in surrender. He hesitated and struggled for a long time before finally lowering his voice and whispering a name.

"It's the Paso Group."
