Chapter Forty-Four: Agent May
"This matter really has to be confirmed in person before it can be judged!"
After Nick Fury agreed, he rubbed his head, and then asked, "By the way, in addition to having a younger brother who is in college in Los Angeles, running a pawn shop that has been passed down for four generations, and occasionally receiving some stolen goods, what other useful information have you gathered?" ”
"After extensive surveillance and investigation, we found that in addition to Professor X, Magneto and New York State Councilman Freeman had also visited Ellis Jiang's pawnshop on Hotston Street." Coulson flipped to the last page of the information and said with a frown.
"Eric and Freeman."
After repeating their names, Nick Fury muttered, "What are the two of them doing there, did Professor X say anything?" ”
"Nope." After recalling his brief meeting with Professor X, Coulson affirmed.
"However, in the surveillance, we also found that a student named Anna Marie, nicknamed Little Naughty at Xavier's school, had been staying at Ellis Jiang's pawn shop for three days."
That's right, although Professor X dumped the hot potato of Councilor Kelly to Nick Fury, he had no choice but to tell Nick Fury that he could go to Ellis's pawn shop for help.
It is not mentioned that Magneto and Ellis also crossed paths, because Professor X does not want Nick Fury to follow the vine and target Magneto again and get involved in this mutant dispute.
Don't forget, Ellis also has a list of Mutant Brotherhood personnel in New York.
If Nick Fury pays a high price to copy a copy back, it will be hilarious (with Magneto's caution, most of the people in the Brotherhood should have been transferred!). )
If he hadn't really been able to do anything about Councilor Kelly's situation, he wouldn't even have handed Councilor Kelly over to Nick Fury.
"Professor X's students?"
Nick Fury glanced at Ellis's information twice before saying, "This Ellis is really more and more widely implicated, and the more you investigate, the more mysterious it becomes!" ”
"That's true!"
After Coulson echoed, he thought of Congressman Kelly, who was about to hang up, and asked Nick Fury: "Director, should we go to Ellis Jiang's pawn shop to find out, if he can really save Councilor Kelly, it will be a surprise." If we can't save it, we can do our best and give an explanation to the president! ”
When Nick Fury saw that Coulson took the initiative to ask for help, he smiled and asked, "How to find out?" ”
"Director, according to Professor X, you don't have to pawn your soul and lifespan, as long as you have some kind of value that Ellis Jiang recognizes, you can pawn it!"
When Coulson said this, he carefully glanced at Nick Fury's reaction, and saw that his face did not change before he continued: "And our 'warehouse' happens to have a lot of strange things?" Why not try something that doesn't have much value? ”
"That's a way to do it, too!" Nick Fury thought for a moment and nodded.
Coulson's idea is good, anyway, there are a lot of weird things collected from all over the world over the years, and even if all the scientific researchers in the bureau go into battle, most of them are still sealed.
It's okay to put it away, and it's not impossible to take out one or two pieces to test Ellis.
If Ellis didn't have that ability to scare people to death, he believed that Coulson would definitely bring it back intact.
But if there is really what Professor X said, it is better to establish a more complete file, and be prepared when dealing with matters involving Ellis in the future.
After making up his mind, Nick Fury said to Coulson: "In that case, this matter is up to you, and I will notify you to choose two items from the 'warehouse'!" ”
"Okay, Director!"
After Coulson agreed, he suddenly remembered Melinda, who was still waiting for him, and applied to Nick Fury: "Director, I want to bring Agent Melinda with me, do you think it's okay?" ”
"Why do you want Melinda?" Nick Fury had just picked up the internal phone on the table, intending to inform the 'warehouse', and after listening to Coulson's request, he was stunned, and then asked strangely.
"Because Professor X specifically said that although Ellis Jiang is a bit mercenary, his attitude towards ladies is not bad!"
After seeing that Nick Fury did not accept this explanation, and showed a strange look, Coulson hurriedly said: "And Melinda, like Ellis Jiang, both have Chinese blood, I think, they should have a lot of common topics!" ”
"Alright! But you'll have to go and talk to Melinda about it yourself, after all, she's now in the back office, and I've heard that she's divorced Andrew not long ago, so she's not in a good mood! ”
After Nick Fury finished speaking, the phone was also connected, and he waved his hand at Coulson and told him to deal with it himself.
"Divorced?"
After Coulson left Nick Fury's office, he muttered to himself, "No wonder it's all at this point, and I don't go home yet!" ”
"Hey, the Director doesn't think I'm interesting to Melinda!" As he walked, Coulson's strange expression came to mind.
…………
After learning about Melinda's divorce, Coulson struggled.
I also feel that it is indeed a bit unkind to let people work overtime at this time.
However, after thinking of the mysterious guy Ellis Jiang, I still felt the need to bring my old comrade-in-arms, Melinda, along!
After all, judging from Coulson's many years of experience, people with Chinese ancestry do attach more importance to the identity of 'fellow countrymen', and going with Melinda can be regarded as adding an extra layer of insurance to this trip.
Originally, Coulson's rich agent life should not have been so cautious, even worried, about a simple tentative mission.
But this time, the goal is really different!
A character like Professor X is perverted enough, but in Professor X's opinion, a perverted guy has appeared, you say it's scary or not!
"Coulson, if there's anything to do, I have to go back and rest!" When Coulson came to Melinda's office, with a cup of coffee in his hand, Agent May, who had been waiting impatiently, stopped him absent-mindedly with a cold face.
"Oh, oh, that's it, May, I need your help!"
After coming back to his senses, Coulson hurriedly handed over the document bag in his hand: "This is the information, you can take a look at it first!" ”
"Don't give it to me."
Melinda glanced at the name of Ellis Jiang written on the file bag, and returned it to him directly: "You forgot, I collected and sorted out these materials, and I know better than you what is in them, so I can tell him if I have something." ”
"Okay, I'll cut it short."
Coulson didn't care about Melinda's tone after considering that Melinda had just divorced, and after taking the information that was handed back, he explained to her: "Actually, this information is not comprehensive, and only involves a small part of Ellis Jiang's affairs.
According to Professor X of Xavier's School for the Gifted and Gifted, Ellis Jiang, who runs a pawn shop, has incredible powers and is able to grant anyone's wishes......"
