Chapter 50 The Case

He stumbled out of the elevator with a bottle of wine in his hand.

The reappearance of the purple Kilgrave makes Jessica Jones' already messy life even worse, and she tries to forget these bad memories by numbing herself with alcohol.

"Ms. Jones?"

Staggering to the door of the room and office, Jessica took out the key from her pocket and wanted to open the door in a daze, but she couldn't align the key smoothly with the key slot.

"shit!"

Cursing secretly, Jessica was holding the handle and was about to use some other means when she heard a slightly puzzled question from behind.

When he turned his head, he saw a haggard-looking woman standing behind him.

"My name is Michelle and I need your help!"

Seeing Jessica turn around, the woman said quickly.

"Do I look like I can help people now?"

Facing the woman's request, Jessica laughed at herself, and then turned back: "Tomorrow, or the day after, no, don't look for me, I don't know when I will wake up."

"But, I have no other way." Jessica's refusal obviously made the woman's already uneasy look even more gloomy. She stood there and made her last effort: "My husband John is missing, It's been a week since I've been home and that's not right."

"Haven't you thought about calling the police?"

Although she had decided not to take the case, the woman's words made Jessica stop her movements subconsciously and asked, "They are free."

"No, I know my husband. He used to have a regular schedule. He went to work at 8:30 in the morning and got off at 6:30. He was never wrong."

Jessica: "Is he still a little mysterious and sometimes nervous?"

"Yes, that's right." The woman nodded excitedly when she heard Jessica's speculation in front of her.

However, Jessica's next words disappointed her.

"That's because he cheated, ma'am. I'm sorry to tell you that, but it may be the truth."

"Ms. Jones, you don't know my husband."

"However, I understand this kind of thing, after all I'm a professional in investigating extramarital affairs."

Shaking his head, facing Jessica's answer, the woman seemed very disappointed, but he still forced a smile: "Sorry, Ms. Jones bothered you, maybe, you are not the one I am looking for. "

"Unfortunately."

Watching the back of the woman leaving in disappointment, Jessica scratched her hair a little distracted for some reason, and looked at the door in front of her that still couldn't be opened smoothly. come out.

"Shit! It's all shit!"

Walking into the office, she threw the handle in her hand on the cabinet, and Jessica cursed inwardly, not knowing whether she was talking about her life or the unhappy conversation before.

jingle bell - jingle bell -

Just then, the phone in the office rang, glanced at the phone on the desk, and Jessica absolutely ignored it.

Whoever you are, you made the wrong call.

After two or three beeps, the call is automatically transferred to the message function.

"Jessica Jones, do yourself a favor, put away your curiosity and don't go looking for John, or..."

...

"Jessica, don't you have a normal job?"

In the antique store, Li Ran looked at Jessica Jones who appeared drunk early in the morning,

Couldn't help frowning.

"I'm working now." After taking a sip of wine, Jessica turned her head to take a look at the antique shop, and turned to the new counter in front of her, which made her subconsciously raise her slender eyebrows: "Change new one."

"Who do you think did it?"

Hearing Jessica's words, Li Ran immediately replied with some anger.

The purple man Kilgrave, who was attracted by the other party, had a riot in his shop, and even destroyed a lot of things in the antique shop. Although they were not valuable things, it still took Li Ran a lot of effort to sort them out.

"Sorry, I've never been able to control my temper." She said sorry, but Jessica didn't mean to apologize at all. Although she is small, her temper is unexpectedly short-tempered.

"So, what are you here for this time?"

Li Ran naturally wouldn't refuse when someone with a reputation like Jessica came to the door, but just thinking of the purple man behind the other party, his expression suddenly became a little unpleasant. Judging from the current situation, the ability of the purple man Kilgrave is still a big threat to Li Ran. After all, this ability to manipulate people at will is really too incomprehensible.

Perhaps, the power of the [Broken Curse Seal] can resist the control superpower of the purple man.

Thinking of how he felt when he used the curse seal before, the cold and evil aura seemed to be similar to Ziren's ability, both of which controlled people's consciousness, and Li Ran had a little guess.

"I originally planned to get money, but I searched at home and found nothing of value." At this time, Jessica's slightly hoarse voice interrupted Li Ran's association with Ziren: "I recently I took a case, no, it should be a case that I didn’t intend to take, but then a voice-changed phone call came to my office and the other party issued a warning, saying that for my safety, don’t take over this case.”

"So, you're on your way."

Sometimes, Li Ran really can't understand the thinking of some villains. The plan that can be successfully completed in a quiet way, but he has to warn and warn that, or simply expose it directly and cause trouble for himself, don't they? Do you understand the truth of wretched development?

Maybe it's because of the swelling, feeling that no matter what force can't stop him?

Or, it is simply too embarrassing to do something that no one knows about, and I want the audience to express their reaction.

While thinking about it, Li Ran turned his head to look at the legend that was refreshed again in the system data bar, feeling happy.

"Hey, are you listening to me?!"

Opposite, Jessica made a dissatisfied voice.

"Okay, you go on."

Shrugging, Li Ran gestured to the other side.

After taking a sip of wine, Jessica continued: "Yes, I answered, I didn't like the tone on the phone, and following the clues given by the other party's wife, I searched the Internet and found nothing too useful. The clue, on the surface, seems to be just an ordinary disappearance case, without any weirdness. Until, through the passage of some past informants, I found a name. "

"Hands, have you heard of it?"
