Stumbling out of the elevator with a bottle of wine in hand.

The reappearance of Kilgrave, the Purple Man, made Jessica Jones' already messed up life even worse. She used alcohol to anesthetize herself, trying hard to forget these bad memories.

"Ms. Jones?"

Staggering to the door of the room and office, Jessica drowsily took out the key from her pocket and tried to open the door, but she couldn't successfully align the key with the keyhole.

"shit!"

Cursing secretly, Jessica held the handle and was about to use other means when she heard a slightly confused inquiry from behind.

Turning around, he saw a haggard-looking woman standing behind him.

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

Seeing Jessica turn around, the woman quickly spoke.

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

Faced with the woman's request, Jessica smiled self-deprecatingly, and then turned back: "Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, no, you better not come to me, I don't know when I will wake up."

"But, I have no other choice." Jessica's refusal obviously made the woman's already uneasy look even darker. She stood there and made her last effort: "My husband John is missing.

I haven’t been home for a week, which is very wrong.”

"Have you never thought of calling the police?"

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

"No, I know my husband. His work and rest schedule has always been very regular in the past. He goes to work at 8:30 a.m. and leaves at 6:30 a.m. every day. There is nothing wrong with that."

Jessica: "Has he become a little mysterious and sometimes nervous?"

"Yes, that's right." After hearing Jessica's speculation in front of her, the woman nodded excitedly.

However, Jessica's next words immediately disappointed her.

"That's because he cheated, madam. I'm sorry to tell you such news, but it may be the truth."

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

"However, I understand this kind of thing. After all, I am professional in investigating extramarital affairs."

Shaking his head, facing Jessica's answer, the woman looked very disappointed, but he still forced a smile: "I'm sorry, Ms. Jones, for disturbing you. Maybe you are not the one I am looking for.

"

"Unfortunately."

Watching the woman leave in disappointment, Jessica scratched her hair in confusion for some reason. Looking at the door in front of her that still couldn't be opened smoothly, she pulled out the entire handle with a strong force on her hand.

come out.

"Shit! It's all shit!"

Walking into the office and throwing the handle on the cabinet, Jessica cursed secretly, not sure whether she was talking about her own life or the unhappy conversation before.

Jingle bell—jingle bell—

Just then, the phone in the office rang. Glancing at the phone on the table, Jessica absolutely ignored it.

No matter who you are, you have dialed the wrong number.

After two or three beeps, the phone automatically switches to the message function.

"Jessica Jones, do yourself a favor and stop looking for John, or else..."

…

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

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at Jessica Jones who appeared drunk early in the morning, and couldn't help but frown and asked.

"I'm working now." After taking a sip of wine, Jessica turned her head to look at the appearance of the antique store, then her eyes turned to the new counter in front of her, causing her to subconsciously raise her slender eyebrows: "Change

Got new ones.”

"Who do you think did it?"

Hearing Jessica's words, Li Ran immediately replied angrily.

Kilgrave, the purple man attracted by the other party, caused a scene in his store and destroyed many items in the antique store. Although they were not valuable items, it still took Li Ran a lot of effort to sort them out.

"I'm sorry, I've never been able to control my temper." She said apologetic words, but there was no sign of apology on Jessica's face. Although she was small, her temper was unexpectedly bad.

"So, why did you come to my place this time?"

With a legendary figure like Jessica coming to the door, Li Ran naturally would not refuse, but when he thought of the purple man following behind him, his expression suddenly became a little unhappy. Judging from the current situation, the purple man Kilgray

Husband's ability is still a big threat to Li Ran. After all, this ability to manipulate people at will is really too inexplicable.

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

Recalling the feeling he had when he used the curse seal before, the cold and evil aura seemed to be similar to Zi Ren's ability. They were both things that controlled people's consciousness. Li Ran had a little guess.

"Originally I planned to exchange it for money, but I searched all over the house and couldn't find anything valuable." At this time, Jessica's slightly hoarse voice interrupted Li Ran's association with the purple people: "Recently, I

I took a case, no, it was probably a case that I had no intention of taking, but then a phone call with a changed voice came to my office and the other party warned me not to take on the case for my safety."

"So, you're next."

Sometimes, Li Ran really can't understand the thinking of some villains. They can clearly complete the plan quietly and smoothly, but they still want to warn them, or simply expose them directly and cause trouble for themselves. Don't they?

Do you understand the concept of obscene development?

Maybe it’s because you’ve expanded and feel that no matter what force you have, you can’t stop yourself?

Or, simply, it’s too frustrating to do something that no one knows about secretly, and you want the audience to express your reaction.

While thinking about it, Li Ran turned around and looked at the legend level that was refreshed again in the system data column, feeling happy.

"Hey, are you listening to me?!"

On the opposite side, Jessica made a dissatisfied voice.

"Okay, you continue."

Shrugging, Li Ran gestured to the other party.

After taking a sip of wine, Jessica continued: "Yes, I answered it. I didn't like the tone on the phone. Following the clues given by the other party's wife, I searched the Internet and found nothing very useful.

The clues, on the surface, seemed to be just an ordinary disappearance case, without anything weird. Until, through some past informants, I found a name."
