Chapter 868: Investigation
Ling Xiao put the cooked breakfast on the desk and asked in passing, "I heard that you have been investigating the cause of your parents' deaths recently, how is it, is there any progress?" ”
Jessica, who was sitting in the office chair, put down the rice porridge in her hand, sighed and said, "It was Tracy who told you, I didn't expect her to cheat you." Alas, Ling, things are not what you think at all, I have let go of the past, and it is Tracy who can't let go, and she is the one who instigated me to investigate everything. ”
"Huh?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, Jessica's words really caught him off guard, when Patricia said this, Ling Xiao didn't use her mental ability to probe her thoughts, Patricia has a certain special ability, in addition to being able to detect the mysterious phenomena and mysterious energy around her senses, she also has quite telepathic ability, Ling Xiao didn't think to explore her thoughts at all.
"At first, she wanted me to go to her radio station for an interview, and after I refused, she managed to get a copy of the relevant file from that year." Jessica sighed and continued: "I was admitted to the emergency room after the car accident, but I wasn't assigned to a hospital bed until 20 days later, there was no medical record at all, no one knew what was going on, I was near-dead when I was admitted to the hospital, but I had superpowers when I was discharged. ”
"So someone did something to you while they were unconscious?" Ling Xiao's face suddenly became solemn, once this is really the case, then others are likely to have Jessica's unknown weaknesses, or have a way to deal with her.
"It's a pharmaceutical company called IGH, and it's a big company, and they often do things that are on the edge of the law, like experimenting on living people." Jessica shrugged her shoulders and said with no concern: "I have let go of these things, the past is gone, nothing can be changed, it can only be like that." But Tracy didn't want to, she had to keep tracking, Dr. Kozlov, who had treated me, and others. ”
"She's doing it in a way that puts her in danger." Ling Xiao is very aware of the style of those pharmaceutical companies, once someone threatens their interests, it is normal to secretly take action to eradicate them.
"Who's to say it isn't, it's just that I've been in some trouble lately." Jessica's face showed some sadness, and she continued: "A relatively large detective agency is eyeing my side, and he wants to annex my office, so he sent someone to spy on me, and I couldn't control it, and I also started an investigation against him in private, and when I came to confront him, he deliberately provoked me, and I couldn't help but beat him up. ”
As she spoke, Jessica spread her hands and said, "In the end, I was caught by the police, but fortunately with Matt's help, I was only sentenced to a year of probation." ”
"There's something wrong with this." Ling Xiao raised his head violently, looked at Jessica and said, "You're afraid that you're being targeted, Jessica, ordinary people face people with superpowers, and few people can face them calmly, let alone come and directly merge your detective agency." ”
Jessica frowned and said puzzledly, "But he said that his detective agency was going to expand its business, so he ......"
"That's just a rhetoric, and the guy who came here is just a pawn being pushed to the forefront." Ling Xiao shook his head with a deep groan, and said, "You have to be careful, Jesse, if you don't get this thing right, it's just the beginning, and there will be more trouble in the future." I suggest you do a good job of investigating the financial transactions behind this firm, who is behind all this, and maybe you can find out from this aspect? ”
"Hmm!" Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Jessica's face became solemn, and the matter was obviously much more serious than she imagined.
"Don't worry about it." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Although it's inconvenient for me to show up now, I can still help you check it out." You don't have to be too tied, even if this matter finally reaches the point of being out of control, it's a big deal that you go back to London with me, throw this mess away, and we won't play. ”
Ling Xiao's attitude made Jessica feel much more relaxed all of a sudden, she nodded, and said, "I know, I'll be careful." ”
"Discuss everything with Matt, he knows a lot more than you do." Ling Xiao couldn't help but say another sentence.
"Matt has been busy lately, too." Jessica shook her head and said with a wry smile, "The Punisher's business keeps him busy and he can't take care of it at all. ”
"Okay, but you also have to be careful, although your ability is enough to ensure your safety, it is inevitable that you will not fall into the calculations of others." Ling Xiao turned around, looked at the detective agency, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe your affairs office should be closed for a while, now you are in the open and others are in the dark, and it is easy to be targeted." ”
Jessica Jones's detective agency is like a target, susceptible to other people's conspiracies, and if she can temporarily close the detective agency and sneak into the shadows, she may be able to see more.
Ling Xiao's suggestion Jessica didn't accept it immediately, she said that she would think about it seriously, but Ling Xiao knew that she didn't listen, but he didn't mean to force her, with Jessica's current strength, her safety would not really be threatened, in this case, then she could rely on these things to train her and enhance her ability to deal with things.
But although this is the case, it does not mean that Ling Xiao will completely let go, the Mr. Chen who wants to annex his office, Ling Xiao also wants to see who is standing behind him, so that morning, Ling Xiao went to Mr. Chen's office, and he happened to go out.
Ling Xiao followed without thinking about it, who knew that this one would be followed to the home of an old acquaintance, this old acquaintance was the lawyer Jerry Hogarth, the legal counsel of Ling Xiao 4D Technology, who would have thought that the person standing behind Mr. Chen would be her.
Jerry Hogarth's state is a little wrong tomorrow, in her house, in addition to herself, there are three prostitutes wearing only underwear, and they are also middle-aged prostitutes who are not very good-looking, while Hogarth, who is also wearing only underwear, when there is a knock on the door, she puts on a pajama and walks out.
Mr. Chen came over this time to tell Hogarth that he had signed a complaint against Jessica, and although Jessica was sentenced to a one-year probation by the court because he was beaten by Jessica and even broke an arm, Mr. Chen was not satisfied, and he had to file a civil lawsuit against Jessica.
And the lawyer in charge of this lawsuit is Hogarth, and there is clearly something wrong with this.
Sending Mr. Chen away and driving the three prostitutes away, Hogarth began to clean up all traces left by the three prostitutes, but in the end, she couldn't help crying alone, crying heartbreakingly, and in pain.
At this time, a tissue was handed over, and Hogarth subconsciously took it, and said at the same time: "Thank you!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Hogarth immediately realized that something was wrong, she stood up suddenly, looked at the person who suddenly appeared, her left hand was already holding a dinner knife in her hand, and the next moment, she was stunned: "Ling, why are you here, when did you return to New York?" ”
"Not a few days." Ling Xiao glanced at the dinner knife in Hogarth's hand, and Hogarth immediately put the dinner knife on the table with some embarrassment.
She smiled wryly, and then asked, "It's okay for you to come back like this, I heard that you gave General Ross to ...... not long ago."
Hogarth's news channels are many times better than Patricia's, and even some things about Ling Xiao and General Ross have been heard.
"The relationship between me and the U.S. government is indeed a little strained, but don't worry, they didn't issue a wanted warrant for me, and," Ling Xiao smiled disdainfully and said, "And even if they find out that I'm in New York now, they won't do anything, they will just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they won't want me and Vision to have a showdown in Manhattan." Not to mention how easy it is to find me. ”
With Ling Xiao's current strength, if the U.S. government really wants to do anything to him, all they can send is Vision, and once the battle at their level starts, although it is not devastating, it is by no means something that Manhattan can easily bear.
