Chapter 136 Private Investigator

Jessica Jones, a private detective at Hell's Kitchen, runs the "Fake Name Detective Firm" - but because of funding, her office is her apartment living room.

At the same time, Jessica is also a superpower, and in fact she is still well-known in Hell Kitchen. In short, she has super power, speed and extraordinary endurance. After killing a super criminal in the spiritual control system called "Purple Man", she became famous in Hell Kitchen and once became the focus of the market.

Jessica is the kind of woman who is extremely unfair to dress up and may even be a little sloppy. She always wears black wallets, tight jeans and black leather boots without heels. Anyone who knows her may say she has never seen Jessica Jones wear any more feminine outfits.

But despite this, it seems a bit abnormal for a mature woman like Jessica who has a beautiful appearance and a bulge in front and a squint back. The primary reason may be related to her extremely sensitive detective sense and the strange power of holding up three or five adult men with bare hands, and the other reason may be because of her irritable temper.

Yes, anyone who knows Jessica Jones knows that she has bad emotional problems. Basically, she is like a walking powder barrel, the kind that blows up when touched. She is irritable and sarcastic, and she looks fierce all day long to everyone, and can argue with anyone within three meters of her.

A week ago, Jessica Jones met several other tough characters, several people who might be somewhat similar to her. "The Demon of Hell's Kitchen" Daredevil, and his killer girlfriend who looks a bit like an Oriental Ninja, and then the "Iron Fist" that is said to be from the legend of Oriental Legend (Jessica can't remember it), and finally she is the one she is most familiar with - Luke Cage, the invulnerable superpower.

Jessica had a strange feeling, as if these few of them were destined to meet each other and then they were destined to accomplish something big. They followed their clues and found the Zhongcheng Circle Financial Company, and the Iron Fist boy told them that the company was actually owned by an ancient evil organization called "Shihehuihui", and explained to them in detail the entanglement between Kunlun and Shihehuihuihuihui.

After a series of experiences by several people, they found the conspiracy of the Hand-Group - digging the keel to achieve immortality, but this process may unfortunately sink the entire New York City underground to bury it. So after a fierce dispute between several heroes, they finally reached an agreement - break into the Financial Building of the Midtown Circle and kill the five leaders of the Hand-Group to stop this evil conspiracy.

As a result, when the five people, with the awareness of facing death, decided to carry forward the heroic spirit and rushed into the building to understand everything... they found that someone had already done all the work they should do for them.

Moreover, based on the unexpected experience in the abandoned construction site in Zhongcheng Circle before, it is probably the case that the mysterious man in armor settled.

In any case, the co-organization was settled, and they would have nothing to do in the future. The next day, Zhongchengquan Financial Company also went bankrupt and the company building was quickly arranged to be blasted.

So the heroes who were rarely gathered together made a soy sauce in this incident. Before they could do anything, they went back to their own homes and continued their daily lives.

For Jessica, her daily routine is basically to accept commissions to help people find the missing cat and dog, help her husband (or wife) take photos of her wife (or husband) affairs, and the greatest wonder is to find teenagers who ran away from home.

However, this time she received the commission, it seemed a little different.

The client this time was her landlord. Her landlord came to the door and said that he had a nephew missing and hoped that Jessica could help him get the person back. He also promised that if Jessica could do it, in addition to paying the detective fee, he could also waive the rent that Jessica had owed since last month.

As mentioned earlier, Miss Detective has never been very relaxed in her personal finances, so this proposal is quite attractive. So she agreed to take on the job.

It’s not that Jessica brags about herself, but that she does have such confidence—as far as she knows, all private detectives in New York are not as good as hers in doing their jobs well.

The missing child was named Elvis Yates, who looked in his early twenties. Jessica first went to his residence and found evidence that the child liked to mingle with a group of smugglers on weekdays. Then she followed the clues to find several street gangsters and smugglers, and several of them confide in about a specific "one-vote case".

It seems that a certain client contacted many people through the middle party of the smuggling activity and invited them to participate in a large-scale smuggling activity. Several gangsters with Elvis speculated that his disappearance might be related to this case, because Elvis seemed to be moved by this several times when they had a dinner and had a drink.

But when asked what the big case was about, everyone gave a "unknown" answer in a consistent manner. But based on experience, Jessica believed that they were not ignorant of it but were unwilling to say it, because it might involve some people or forces that they were very afraid of.

But as an experienced detective, Jessica Jones also has an effective way to deal with this situation. First, you find the right person, and then you beat him up until he is willing to speak, or until you are sure he really knows nothing.

As it turns out, the old methods are always effective. Harry Temple, a smuggler who is also active in this area, chose to explain with tactfully after taking Jessica's meal and witnessing her lifting his car with one hand over her head.

"You joined the deal with Elvis, and then you got into trouble and you managed to get out of here, but that child didn't, is that true?"

These are the information Jessica asked from the last guy she forced her to confess. It was a relatively unsuccessful young man, and Jessica only performed the skill of "torming iron chair with bare hands" to him. The guy was so scared that his crotch was wet.

"What? Who are you talking nonsense?" Temple frowned. "That's not the case. I have always had a good relationship with that kid. I tried my best to urge him to ignore this transaction, because I have been in this industry for longer than him, and I know what kind of transaction is risky."

"But he didn't listen to you?"

"I guess so, but it's no wonder that he is because the price offered by the client is so tempting. As long as we do this ticket, we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives." Temple said, "I heard that Elvis contacted many other brothers a few days ago and gathered a group of people to join the business."

"Tell me about the specific situation of that trip."

"I don't know. Only those who promise to join the gang can know..."

"Of course I know this, I'm asking about your client's situation." She asked, "Who hired you to work? Who paid you?"

Temple looked puzzled.

"I can't say this. If I say it, they will take me..."

"If you don't say it, I'll stuff this broken car out of your mouth now." Jessica interrupted roughly.

Temple remembered the scene where the woman raised the car with one hand and couldn't help but swallow. After weighing the pros and cons, he said again: "I have to warn you that those are very, very powerful people. You'd better stop and not provoke..."

"That's my business." Jessica was impatient. "Now you either have something to say, or you try to say a little bit of nonsense to see if I'm bluffing."

"Okay." Temple raised his hands and said surrender. He hesitated and entangled for a while before finally lowering his voice and whispering a name.

“…it’s the Paso Group.”
