Long Ao Marvel
Chapter 11 The Mysterious Call
Liu Zheng returned to the table, gently shook Jessica awake, and asked for her home address.
"46th Street...No. 485..." Jessica didn't even open her eyes. She reported a place name and buried her head in her arms. Liu Zheng had no choice but to carry her on his body and went out to call a car.
taxi.
In the early morning, Manhattan Street has gradually returned to its daytime bustle. The taxi walked along Fifth Avenue for a while and turned onto 34th Street. Liu Zheng could already see one of New York's most famous landmarks from the car window. The New York Times
It's a square.
He remembered writing in the documentary document detailing the resurrection of Captain America in the library of the Special Group Office that Steve Rogers fought against the Red Skull in World War I and finally crashed into the North Pole while driving a Hydra XB-35 flying wing bomber.
The sea was frozen and sleeping for 70 years. It was not discovered until 2011 by an oil exploration team, and was rescued by S.H.I.E.L.D. and sent to New York.
At that time, Captain America was being recuperated in the beautiful Greenwich District south of Midtown. The U.S. government was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the 21st century city after waking up, so they specially simulated a living area in the 1940s for him.
see through.
Rogers made a big fuss in the sanatorium, escaped, and ran all the way north to Times Square in New York City. He was so shocked by the brilliance of the place that he almost thought he had traveled through time. Fortunately, he was deceived and did not continue to escape, so he was driven away.
Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who arrived, stabilized himself and took him back to the Washington headquarters.
Liu Zheng originally wanted to take a good look at this bustling neighborhood known as the "Crossroad of the World", but every taxi driver knew how congested that area was and would usually try to avoid those streets, so he just stayed away.
I saw a fragment of this square from a distance.
The car drove onto Eighth Avenue and turned right into the Clinton District, which is still habitually called "Hell's Kitchen". As for why it was called this name, Liu Zheng didn't know, but he heard Danny mention that this district was the earliest
The slums are overrun with drugs, racial conflicts are serious, gangs are deeply entangled, and the crime rate is extremely high. It is the worst place for public security in Manhattan.
The buildings here are obviously older than those in Zhongcheng District across the road. Most buildings have rusty fire escapes installed on the exterior walls. It is said that the security here was very poor a few decades ago and the district government's management capabilities were limited.
Man-made or accidental fires are very frequent. The local government installed these steel ladder cages as a precaution. They have not been removed until now. Liu Zheng felt very awkward as he watched the whole way. The security in this place is bad enough. The outer walls of the apartment
It’s full of these things. Doesn’t it welcome thieves to your door?
When the destination was reached, Liu Zheng helped Jessica, who was still unconscious, get out of the car, followed the street signs and walked into the apartment. He walked around again and finally found Jessica's home on the fifth floor. This apartment was completed around the time
It was not short, and the property management did not take good care of it. The stone paint on the walls was warped and even peeled off in many places. There were also problems with the maintenance of the elevator. It made a squeaking noise all the way up, which made Liu Zheng very worried.
I was so frightened that when I walked out, I was pinched by the elevator door that closed early.
Jessica's rented room is at the end of the corridor. It is both her home and her office. The door is facing the corridor, and Liu Zheng's design of this room is really full of flaws. Office of the Director of the Special Group Office
The door is facing the passage, and the same is true for Jessica's detective agency. No wonder the business is getting worse...
His original job in Qiantang was in a real estate company, so he had done some research on home feng shui.
The feng shui of the gate is actually a very important issue. Among them, there is a saying that it cannot be blocked by the road. The feng shui is called "straight road empty", which means that the gate is facing a main road, which means that you will withdraw money. Originally
The room at the end of the corridor is already unlucky enough. It is also facing the passage, as if it is pointed at by a sword. It is definitely a very unlucky situation. Not only will you not be able to make money if you open a shop in this location,
Money, from the perspective of aura, houses facing the road are more likely to be directly affected by the aura, which will invisibly weaken the body and mental state of the people living there, even affect their career, and the situation will go from bad to worse.
Next time Jessica wakes up, I have to remind her to rent a house somewhere else. If she stays here, she will never get better from being depressed.
Liu Zheng helped the confused Jessica through the corridor and walked to the door. When he was struggling to get in without the key, he found that there was no glass on the door, and a large piece of cardboard was stuck on the window frame to make up for it, haha
...Jessica's style was indeed right. He pierced the cardboard, reached in and opened the door from the inside, then helped Jessica into the bedroom and laid her flat on the bed.
The hungover girl mumbled twice, adjusted herself to a comfortable position and continued to sleep. Seeing her unsuspecting and confused look, Liu Zheng was really angry and helpless. Fortunately, he was not a bad person, otherwise she would have cried.
Go ahead.
The room was stinky, and there were a lot of unwashed dirty clothes on the floor, and even the underwear was not tidied up. Although Liu Zheng lived alone, he had developed good habits since he was a child, and he could always tidy up the house when he grew up.
Neatly, I picked up the clothes scattered everywhere and threw them into the washing machine in the bathroom.
Jessica's house is in tatters and there are many bullet holes in the walls. I don't know if they were inherited from the previous owner or Jessica did it later. The refrigerator is badly deformed and may have been used as a sandbag by a drunk Jessica.
, a lot of the food inside was spoiled; there was a big hole in the wall between the living room and the kitchen, which was big enough for an adult to crawl through. Liu Zheng looked at the hole in a daze. He really couldn't understand why this woman was so crazy at home alone.
.
Just when Liu Zheng was about to leave, he heard a knock on the door, and then the door was opened. A middle-aged woman and a girl were standing outside. The woman was dressed very well, and her family should be in good condition, but the girl was...
He looks carefree, a typical rebellious teenager.
"Excuse me...is this Jessica Jones' home?" The woman looked at Liu Zheng doubtfully, wondering why an Asian man appeared here.
"Uh...yes." Liu Zheng didn't expect that a client would come to the door so early in the morning, so he had to lead the two of them in. The woman sat down on the old sofa in the living room, looking a little worried.
Liu Zheng pointed at Jessica who was lying on the bed in the bedroom snoring, and said with a wry smile: "Sorry, ma'am, Jessica drank too much and is sleeping."
"Let's go, Mom." The girl standing next to the sofa sneered, turned around and wanted to leave, but was held back by her mother.
"Sir, my name is Michelle Raymond, and this is my daughter Lexi. We need Jessica's help. Alas, we don't even know if we are in the right place."
Liu Zheng tried his best to cope with the situation on the surface, but complained in his heart that his limited English ability was really not enough to cope with the consultations from two Americans.
"Sir, my husband is missing..."
"Mom, you don't really want to ask that drunkard for help!"
"Lexi, that's enough!" the woman turned around and cursed, then said apologetically to Liu Zheng, "Our situation is very bad, he has been missing for a week."
Liu Zheng understood what he heard, but he didn't understand what the mother and daughter were doing here if they didn't go find someone.
"Mrs. Raymond, did you call the police?"
"No, the police department will not open a case for this. There are too many missing people in New York every day... You don't understand, I do
This is definitely not normal, John is as punctual as a watch!" The woman shook her head and talked a lot, still unwilling to believe that her husband's disappearance had become a fact, "He is an architect and goes to work at 8 o'clock every morning
Going to work and coming home at 6:30 p.m. has never changed. But recently he is...very abnormal. He is always mysterious and nervous. This...this is not like him."
Liu Zheng didn't know much about the national conditions of the United States. If someone was missing in China, the police would definitely file a case without saying a word for a week. The New York police didn't care... It's no wonder that this lady was suddenly ill and sought medical treatment and came to a private detective agency.
He had no good way to deal with this, and besides, this was not his job in the first place, so he could only comfort the woman with a few words to stabilize her mood: "Okay, madam, I will inform Jessica of the situation. Of course,
If you are free, you can take time to meet with her one-on-one to discuss it in detail."
The mother and daughter sat and waited for a while. Seeing that Jessica showed no sign of waking up, they could only say goodbye and leave.
Liu Zheng sent the two of them away and was about to go back to the room to check on her condition when he heard the phone on the table in the living room ding.
Jessica turned over and continued to sleep, showing no sign of wanting to get up to answer the phone.
When Liu Zheng was hesitating whether to answer the call, the phone switched to the message function, and a weird, obviously synthesized voice jumped out.
"Zizzi...Jessica Jones...zizi...don't go to John Raymond."
John Raymond! Of course Liu Zheng remembered this name. He rushed to his desk, picked up the microphone and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
However, all that came from the other end of the phone was a "beep" busy tone.
He pressed the microphone on the phone, walked to the window, raised a blind and looked outside. Under the influence of the owl tail pattern, Liu Zheng's power was greatly enhanced, and Liu Zheng spread his perception outward as much as possible.
, scanned the space within a radius of 500 meters, and found nothing abnormal.
As soon as John Raymond's wife and daughter left, a threatening phone call came to his door, which meant that the other party's eyes and ears must be nearby! Liu Zheng frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he felt a
It felt as if there was a big conspiracy surrounding him, and the Hand was the root cause.
"Dingle bell ring bell!!"
The harsh ringtone of the phone rang again. Liu Zheng answered the phone reflexively and shouted angrily: "Where are you? Who are you!"
"....Who are you?"
What Liu Zheng didn't expect was that what came from the other end of the phone was not a weird synthesized voice, but a nice female voice.
"I'm Joy Meacham, who are you? Where is Jessica Jones?" the woman on the other end of the phone asked strangely.
"Sorry... I thought it was..." Liu Zheng apologized for his recklessness, but he immediately realized who was speaking, "You are Joey Meacham! Hi, I'm Liu Zheng
, Danny’s friend.”
The woman was obviously stunned: "Danny, Danny Rand? Why are you in Jessica's detective agency?"
Joey and his brother Ward are the children of Danny's father's partner, Harold Meacham. Both are now executives of the Rand Group. Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian didn't even have time to go upstairs after arriving at the company.
She was dragged away by Danny, so she might not be aware of their existence. Liu Zheng couldn't say more on the phone, so he hung up the phone after asking for the address of the Rand Group.
Seeing that Jessica was still asleep, he closed the door and went downstairs, hailed a taxi outside the apartment door, left Hell's Kitchen and drove towards the Rand Group headquarters building.
