a week ago......

A black bald head slowly walked into the night, this is Louisiana, north of Arkansas, west of Texas, east of Mississippi, south of the Gulf of Mexico, but the bald one-eyed dragon does not walk on the streets of New Orleans, but a typical southern town in the delta.

He held a map and looked down, but the hand-drawn map was drawn entirely out of subjective cognition, and the person who drew the map had no training in drawing maps at all, so even an elite agent like Hei Lu Dan couldn't see where it was marked.

But the damn bastard who asked him out only gave him this map.

The black braised egg had to stop a man on the road, who was also a typical southern red-necked old man, and he asked, "Hey! Brother...... Do you know where that Ben Devriox house is? Someone asked me to wait for him there! ”

The old man glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of disgust, and shouted to him, "Get out of the way...... Black person! ”

"Hey, I didn't offend you, it's the United States now. Not in the Southern Union, you'd better show me a little respect. Nick Fury dissatisfied. And the old red neck face was gloomy, revealing an indescribable gloom, and he babbled like a convulsive: "Now the United States protects you...... If in that time, even sixty years earlier, there would have been no place for you devils here. We will be led by the priest, with pointed hats, to burn you to ashes along with your lair! ”

The old man was on crutches, and his mind was a little unconscious, and he trembled with excitement, and shouted: "Burn you to ashes, and get out of here, devil!" He muttered a passage from the Bible and took out the silver cross on his chest and pointed it at Nick Fury.

He also made a gesture to drive him away, brandished his crutches, and staggered after him.

In the face of such a delirious old man, Rao is king of agents has no choice, Nick jumped with his head in his arms, and ran into an alley without street lights against the old man's scolding, he complained as he ran: "Damn! Nick was furious and scolded in slang with a black accent, "Damn old bastard...... I'm so much older than you! I can be your dad! ”

"Hell...... Shit. He almost ruined my favorite old suit, which was made by a tailor in 1942! ”

Nick shook off some muddy trouser legs, he looked up and saw a gloomy and old house appear in front of him, he took out the map, and saw a graffiti-like silhouette on the target location, this silhouette was unusually similar to one side of the house when it was dark, and this ancient house was located in the most remote part of the town, if it wasn't for Nick's panic, running for a long time without lights, the dirt path between the woods and weeds, it would never have been able to find it.

It was here, and it seemed to have magical power to grab Nick's full attention.

The old house was surrounded by dark gray fences and high walls, and Nick turned to its entrance, and saw that the gate of the courtyard was rusted and unlocked, and he pushed it open, and the rusty shaft that had not been oiled creaked loudly.

Nick had to compliment: "Okay! That's really more useful than any damn modern anti-theft measures. ”

Although Nick had a way of sneaking in without anyone noticing, the identity of the person who invited him to come made him put aside this useless thought and pushed the door open.

The ancient house was quiet, and suddenly there was a figure of someone moving with difficulty, and soon a woman with a little back and a look of some age, opened the old wooden door, and asked, "Who?" ”

Nick greeted politely and said, "Someone asked me to come here...... It's a damn young Asian. He may be claiming to be an insurance investigator! ”

The woman stared at him for a long time, until Nick felt something strange on her face, and then she said hoarsely, "There is such a person, come in!" ”

Any normal person will feel that this woman's eyes are really a little too gloomy.

And the environment of the ancient house, it is difficult to think of any beautiful things, this old building has nothing to do with classicism and elegance at all, only rotten mold, rotten wood, and dilapidated furniture, so that this big house is full of a lingering stale atmosphere.

The woman's age was a little vague, she had a twilight and a hunched back, and when she took Nick Fury in, Nick saw that her hands were already wrinkled and age spots. But her hair is still black at the roots, and although her face is not well maintained, there is no sign of old age.

According to Nick's profile of her - old and young, even a little like himself.

Nick was really interested, and the woman carried the lantern and led him up the stairs, where the light was on, and the voice of Chen Ang and the person could be heard talking inside: "Mrs. Ellis's aunt left her about $280,000 in insurance, which is not a small amount, but we found that there is something wrong with her file." ”

"Since marrying you...... She seemed a little ...... Live in solitude! ”

"Her good friend, the lead singer of the rock band and her ex-boyfriend, claimed that you controlled and manipulated her and mentally imprisoned her, a claim that had a lot of market in Mrs. Ellis's young social circles, and it was said that she was hired by Mrs. Violet to take care of her husband when she was young, and that you were Mrs. Violet's trusted lawyer."

"Finally, thanks to your care, Violet entrusted the safety of the mansion and the couple's personal safety to you before the stroke, and you were married immediately after this incident. It's hard not to give rise to inappropriate speculation – for example, you joined forces to take control of the Violets and take their inheritance? ”

"Investigator Konstantin!" Another hearty and somewhat deep voice laughed: "You are too good at guessing!" ”

"Actually, in the early days, people did have these doubts, and you know that I am a professional in law, and they can't find a way to overturn all this in the act of giving, so they said to the judge, Caroline and I have a special interest in the two old men, and we can control them reasonably together."

"I said to the judge that there was no dirty exchange of interests in our union, it was all out of the magic of love! That's how we knew, but the judge seemed to have misgivings, and she ruled that we should accept a supervised inheritance of property and take on the duty to look after our two generous employers. ”

"At that time, the people in the town said that they would not live long before we killed them!"

"But they lived for ten years!" Chen Ang complimented politely.

"Hahaha! Yes...... We took care of them like our parents for ten years, and this malicious slander was still marketable for the first three years, but as time went by, these ups and downs dissipated! People still believe in us and believe in the goodness of human nature! ”

Nick listened at the door, and when he pushed the door in, he saw Chen Ang and a middle-aged white man sitting next to the fireplace, sitting in two large chairs, talking against the fire. They heard Nick coming in and turned to look at the door, Chen Ang stood up with a smile to greet him, shook hands with Nick Fury and smiled, "Nick! You're finally here! ”

He told the two homeowners: "Nick Fury, a federal legal officer, is also responsible for enforcing the court's estate judgment. We will work together to handle the transfer of the estate...... There are also tax matters! ”

Nick opened his mouth and complained, "Oh! Investigator Konstantin, when you mention the tax department, do you want me to be kicked out of here with a broom? ”

He turned to a middle-aged white man who might be a retired lawyer and said, "I'm just a bailiff and I don't collect taxes!" I'm here to deliver money to you, please don't kick me out! ”

Everyone laughed together, and the atmosphere was very happy, even if the best way to close the distance in the United States was to complain about the tax department together, and everyone expressed some dissatisfaction with the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), and the distance between them was greatly narrowed.

The hostess, or Mrs. Matthew, Caroline Ellis Matthew, was still standing gloomily.

She's in the shadows, hunched even harder. His husband, Luke Matthew, seemed a little overwhelmed, and said with a hint of scolding: "Go and make a pot of coffee for the guests!" ”

The woman staggered, and before leaving, her face shook in the shadows, a little creepy and hideous, but Chen Ang and Nick saw it, but the two of them were just indifferent, and even wanted to laugh, Nick thought so, leaning on the fireplace, and really couldn't help laughing.

At first, he just covered his mouth and smiled, but then he couldn't help it, so he laughed out loud.

He pointed at Chen Ang, almost laughing, and asked, "What do you mean by sending me this thing?" He pulled out his map and asked, "Do you expect me to find this place with this thing?" Luke seemed a little uneasy when he saw the reaction of the two of them, and he twisted his body to express his inner irritability.

Chen Ang looked at the map and said, "That's what I found with this thing...... We found this map in the relics of Madame Caroline's aunt, the address of the old man's only relatives left behind, which was sent to her by Madame Caroline in a letter attached. ”

Nick stopped laughing, looked at the graffiti on it carefully, and said, "It's so cute! ”

"Especially the graffiti silhouette of this house."

Mr. Luke took Nick's words a little unnaturally and said, "Thank you, this is what my wife left when she was young!" At that time, she was still a naughty girl. ”

Nick suddenly said, "Can you ask Madame to draw me another picture of that silhouette...... I want to keep it so that when I tell people about this 'adventure' in the future, I can show people this map and ask them to find the route on it......"

Chen Ang snatched the map and said, "Don't even think about it!" I'm going to keep this map for myself...... You know I love to collect all kinds of memorabilia for each case, and I once had a hockey mask a few years ago that was given to me by one of my beneficiaries who had to wear this mask that his mother gave him every day to sleep. But he gave it to me, and it was the best gift I've ever received! ”

"That hockey mask!" Nick burst into laughter: "So there is still this story...... And what about that Iron Man mask in your office? Also given to you by Tony Sterk himself? And what about that old-fashioned videotape? Voodoo dolls on the bookshelf? The glasses left by that madman Sam's grandfather who bought them on the Internet at a high price? ”

"Oh my God! Sam's grandpa was really just a shoemaker, and he had never been to Antarctica...... Neither does the Arctic! ”

Chen Ang's face was calm and said, "My one is true!" ”

"What?" Nick laughed and made a black question mark .jpg with a black face's unique facial expression

"I'm really Captain Witwich's glasses......" Chen Ang said flatly.

The expression on Nick's face froze, he changed to a serious face and stared at Chen Ang, just when the atmosphere between the two became more and more tense, the hunched woman walked in silently with a pot of coffee, she seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the tense atmosphere in the room, and the coffee pot was shaking.

At this time, Nick's face gradually showed a ghost smile, and then he grinned and showed his big white teeth, pounding the table frantically and laughing.

"Konstantin...... You'll always have such a sense of humor. Dry humor like a damn British! ”

The coffee on the table almost spilled, but Nick ignored it, but turned to the hostess and asked, "Madam, this is the map you drew when you were young, and to tell you the truth, it is not easy for me to toss!" Nick's mind flashed through - when the map sent by Chen Ang arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D., the scene of those agents facing the enemy, and a lot of inspection items.

"Can you paint me another one...... I want to keep a souvenir! Nick said calmly.

The hostess was a little at a loss, she subconsciously clenched the lace of the apron, and pulled the apron tightly with both hands.

Mr. Luke nodded at her nonchalantly, "My dear...... Draw nothing? ”

Nick pretended to be surprised, "Am I offended?" ”

The hostess said with great difficulty: "No...... No! She picked up the pen and drew graffiti on the white paper next to her, but she couldn't draw it well, and finally made a mess, Chen Ang came out to stop it: "Okay! Stop drawing...... The map is up to you! ”

Nick's eyes widened and he asked, "So what do you take as a memorial?" Konstantin investigator? ”

"If you want it so much, why should I be loved?" Chen Ang said: "Souvenirs can be anything, I just accept some worthless gifts from the beneficiaries, whether those things have other meanings, they are already very meaningful to me." My career has given them extraordinary significance! ”

The man Luke relaxed and smiled, "As long as you want, we can give you anything here - as a gift!" ”

Chen Ang glanced left and right, and didn't seem to see anything of interest.

Until he found a strange key in the coffee pot that the hostess had put down casually, he picked up the key on the table, shook it in front of them, and said, "How about this master key?" ”
