In Central Park, on a random bench, sat two young women, with a flock of white doves at their feet, competing for bird food, but they probably couldn't have imagined that these two ordinary-looking women were two of the five leaders of the Hand Clan, Lady Gao and Alexandra.

With a cane in her hand, Mrs. Gao looked at the scenery in front of her, chuckled, and said, "After so many years, you still like it here." ”

"What a miracle! This park is still there, and the city hasn't demolished it to build high-rise buildings. Alexandra, who was wearing a long white dress to cover her entire body, said with some emotion: "It must be difficult for these people to imagine that the whole of Manhattan Island was once a forest. The Dutch colonists, when they bought Manhattan Island from the natives, are said to have paid only $24 for the entire plot. If I want to say, they still pay more. ”

"Huh!" Mrs. Gao laughed, 24 US dollars is indeed a lot, with what she knows about Alexandra, if it were her, she would probably choose not to pay a penny, but to kill all the local natives and forcibly occupy this island.

The smile retracted, and Mrs. Gao said in a deep voice: "The contact person of the mayor's office, he is ready." ”

Mrs. Gao's words were clueless, but Alexandra could understand them, and she followed up and asked, "Then when can we start?" ”

"Three months, after which we enter the final phase." Mrs. Gao gave an answer to Alessandra's question.

"That's not going to work, at least not now, we've got to go faster." Alexandra's sudden change caught Mrs. Gao off guard for a while.

Even she couldn't figure out why Alessandra did this for a while, so she could only remind her: "We have already discussed it, and this plan can work." ”

"It used to work, but now it doesn't." Alexandra shook her head slightly, but she just explained it to Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao frowned, looked at Alexandra and said, "Rescheduling is very troublesome, if we speed up the process, it will attract attention." ”

The Hand was very closely watched by the Interstellar Immigration Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D. some time ago, they didn't dare to let go of anything, and even some time ago, Mrs. Gao fell into the hands of Botu, and she didn't try to get rid of it with all her might, in fact, there was also a reason for this.

"I know." Alexandra nodded slightly, and in the face of Mrs. Gao's questioning, she just said these three words and stopped talking, her attitude was very insistent.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Gao finally spoke, "I'll go and inform the others." ”

"Very well, by the way, say hello to them on my behalf." Alessandra smiled, turned around, and stuffed the bird food in her hand into Mrs. Gao's hand, and said, "Please help me finish feeding the birds, they are really hungry today." ”

After saying that, taking a deep look at Mrs. Gao, Alexandra stood up, picked up her small bag, and left without looking back.

Looking at Alexandra's back, Mrs. Gao narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn't understand why Alexandra, who had always been rational and cautious, suddenly chose to take risks.

The five leaders of the Hand Club, although there are some dirty feelings between each other, but in the face of foreign enemies, they are usually able to unite, which is naturally indispensable to the suppression and communication of powerful people, and this powerful person, naturally not her Mrs. Gao, but this Alexandra,

To put it mildly, Alessandra's treatment of Mrs. Gao is somewhat arrogant, and with Mrs. Gao's character, she just endured it silently, which is really not like the Mrs. Gao that people know.

In fact, Alexandra is even more difficult to mess with, her own strength is not weak, plus one after another carefully cultivated warriors, she can also rank in the top three among the five leaders of the Hand and Guild, and what is even more fearful is her brain, her calculations, and several of them have been taught by her.

Jessica Jones had just returned to her detective agency after a day of running outside, when she heard someone on the other side greet her: "Ms. Jones, my name is Michelle Raymond, this is my daughter Lexie, we need your help." ”

This is a pair of mother and daughter who look very young, the daughter Lexi looks only 16 years old at most, and the mother Michelle is only in her early 30s, they are indeed a biological mother and daughter, which makes Jessica can't help but complain about what kind of person would attack the young Michelle back then.

"I can't help you, I've been busy lately." Jessica nodded apologetically to the mother and daughter.

"I'm sorry! We're not sure we've come to the right place. Michelle looked a little nervous and uneasy.

"What I said is true, not today, not tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow." Jessica shook her head and said in embarrassment, "I really can't spare time. ”

"Let's go, Mom!" Lexie, who was in a rebellious period, saw Jessica's refusal so firmly, she pulled her mother and turned around to leave.

But Michelle refused to give up, she looked at Jessica, who walked to the door of the detective agency, and said: "I read in the newspaper what you did, my husband is missing, and I really need you to help me find him." ”

Lexie looked at her mother, who was a little weak, helplessly, turned to look at Jessica and said, "She doesn't care at all." She's a walking joke. ”

"Lexie, that's enough!" Michelle couldn't help but scold Lexie for not helping but causing trouble, and then looked at Jessica and said, "We're in a bad situation, my husband has been missing for a whole week. ”

Jessica sighed, turned to Michelle and asked, "Did you call the police?" ”

"Nope." Jessica's answer to Michelle's surprise was enough to call the police.

Jessica frowned and asked, "Then why don't you go to the police, they are free, and their ability to find people is not weak." ”

"Money is not an issue." Michelle shook his head and said with a sense of unease: "Things are very wrong, I can be sure, John is as punctual as his watch, he is an architect, he goes to work at eight o'clock every morning and comes home at 6:30 p.m., but lately he has ......"

"He's a different person, mysterious, maybe a little nervous?" Jessica suddenly felt a little funny.

But Michelle's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded and said, "It's not like him at all." ”

"That's because he cheated, okay? If you think for yourself, what you just said can be true. Jessica finally couldn't help but poke the truth of the matter, she looked at Michelle and said with a little comfort: "There is nothing shameful about this, this kind of thing often happens." ”

Although Lexie didn't speak, the look on her face showed that she very much agreed with Jessica's reasoning, but Michelle shook her head and said very disapprovingly, "You don't know him as well as I do." ”

"I don't have to." Jessica stood in front of the door, took a light breath and said to the somewhat stubborn Michelle: "You came to me, I gave a professional opinion, for you, what you need most now is a divorce lawyer, and it is best that you can go and check all your accounts now." ”

"Thank you for your time, Miss Jones." Michelle's face was full of frustration, Jessica Jones wasn't the first private investigator she had come to, and she had approached many others before her, but most of them had given similar answers.

"Yes, thank you!" Lexie gave Jessica a disdainful look, then turned away with her mother.

Listening to the crisp footsteps behind her, Jessica paused when she opened the door, she couldn't help but turn around, looked at Michelle and Lexie who had reached the end of the corridor, and screamed loudly, stopping the two of them, and then said slightly apologetically: "No matter what he is doing, I hope you can find him, I really can't spare time in the past two days, if you want, wait a little for two days, and I will take a look at this matter when I am free." ”

Michelle nodded to Jessica with a little gratitude, and then left directly with Lexie, Jessica was right, no matter what happened, the first thing she had to do now was to look at her bank account, because it was related to their future survival.
