The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 489 Mrs. Gao

Flipping through the newspaper in his hand, Ling Xiao couldn't help but shook his head, things are progressing a little fast, it's only been a few days, and the case of the United Construction Company is almost over, just like the headline in the newspaper, that is written in black capital letters It reads clearly: "The United Construction Company Scandal."

Not long after Matt Murdoch took over the case, the scandal about the misappropriation of funds within the entire United Construction Company has been thoroughly exposed in the newspapers, and all the details and related data have disappeared. It is said that the New York prosecutors have begun to intervene in the investigation.

But it was too late, Mike Lintock, the boss of the United Construction Company, had committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. The killer who attempted to assassinate the dancer in the middle hanged himself in prison. All the funds of the United Construction Company were transferred. Lance was nowhere to be seen either.

The prosecution has been investigating for a long time without finding any clues, and finally the case can only be dropped.

Regarding Matt Murdoch, Jessica Jones was naturally in charge of the follow-up investigation, and Ling Xiao also began to focus on his own affairs.

During those days in London, Ling Xiao was not idle. In his own factory, in the factory building where the space passage appeared, he secretly arranged a space transfer magic circle, and then drew illusions and protection methods on the wall Array.

Since the space channel was completely closed, that place has not had much use value. Usually, except for Ling Xiao who will observe the changes of the space barrier there, other people don't care much, and Ling Xiao deliberately The security of the factory area was ordered to ensure that the secrets would not be leaked.

That was when Ling Xiao established the third space transfer base, and now Ling Xiao is trying to find the existence of the fourth space channel.

After thinking for a long time, he still gave up his plan to build a space channel in Manhattan. That place is too sensitive. If Ling Xiao really builds a space channel there, it is inevitable that he will not attract the attention of Master Gu Yi. Now he, but I'm not ready to deal with this great master yet.

Abandoning the plan to establish a space channel in the high sky of Stark Tower, Ling Xiao had to look for places with space fluctuations in other places, and after looking for a few places, he set his sights on the distance from Manhattan 100 miles down the coast.

Here the continental shelf drops abruptly down to some of the steepest landslides and underwater caverns in the world. This is the subsea Hudson Canyon, filled not only with all kinds of extraordinary and strange life, but equally spectacular sights include dormant formations called seamounts. Volcanoes, which rise thousands of feet above the ocean floor.

After searching for a long time, Ling Xiao finally found a trace of spatial fluctuations in the belly of this dormant volcano.

A dormant volcano is different from an extinct volcano. It has erupted in history, but it has been relatively static for a long time.

This type of volcanoes all have well-preserved volcanic cone shapes and still have volcanic activity. Although there is no eruption at present, high-temperature gas is continuously ejected from some unfathomable fumaroles on the hillside, which shows that the volcano is currently in a dormant state.

It is precisely because of the high temperature and the continuous erosion of water in these fumaroles that the space barrier here has finally become extremely weak under the impact of alternating cold and heat over a long period of time, and occasionally it can open some holes that do not know where to go. space channel.

Entering the depths of the cave in the mountain, Ling Xiao immediately excavated a stone room with a radius of less than a hundred square meters in the middle of the mountain, and then drew a space transfer magic circle inside, plus a protective magic circle and an illusion magic circle, a small The secret base has been built.

The specific locations of these space transfer bases in Ling Xiao’s hands are only known to him, and in places where the space barriers are weak, it is easiest to open space passages on Ellesmere Island in the North Pole, followed by the space passages in Death Valley. Then there is the space channel in London, and finally here in New York.

With the specific space coordinates, the four space bases can also be connected through this space transfer circle, but the only thing missing now is the source of power to support him to travel through space, and such things are still being released by him now. Inside my own villa in Los Angeles.

Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to return to Los Angeles. He still had things to do in New York. According to the news from Jessica Jones, Daredevil finally made new progress. In the latest case he took over , a somewhat lonely old lady was brought into sight, and this person was Mrs. Gao, one of the hands and leaders Ling Xiao had been looking for.

Ling Xiao appeared in Jessica Jones' office again, and it was still a mess, with no signs of tidying up at all.

Jessica had just sent away the addict next door, and when she turned her head, she saw Ling Xiao sitting on her chair, gave him an annoyed look, and said, "You can't knock on the door normally, every time It's all mysterious."

Ling Xiao smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, I will definitely respect your privacy in the future, let's talk about it now, what new situation did you find out?"

When it came to business, Jessica's face immediately became serious, and she said seriously: "It's true that you asked me to keep an eye on Matt Murdoch, and I really found some interesting things about him. thing."

After a short pause, Jessica went on to say: "Remember what I mentioned to you last time, the Russian gangsters who were released by Daredevil and smuggled women, they kidnapped a little boy and took Matt Mur Doc introduced a trap. Matt Murdoch stepped into the trap in order to save the child. He was seriously injured and failed miserably. I rescued him. After he recovered from his injuries, another man killed the Russians' hiding place , rescued the little boy."

Jessica stared at Ling Xiao closely, and said with a serious face: "Do you know what happened after Matt rescued him?"

Jessica took out a blurry photo from her pocket, and said in a solemn tone: "The two leaders of the Russian gang went to meet these people, this is James Wesley, this is that Two Russian gang leaders, and this old lady."

"Mrs. Gao!" Ling Xiao sighed slightly, and picked up the blurry photo, showing Mrs. Gao's blurry face. Who would have thought that this ordinary-looking Chinese old lady would be cruel and merciless? One of the leaders of the hand and meeting.

Putting down the photo, Ling Xiao looked at Jessica and asked with concern, "Are you not hurt?"

"Huh?" Jessica was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized what Ling Xiao was talking about. She couldn't help asking in surprise, "How did you know I was discovered by this old lady?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Jessica, then shook his head slightly, and said: "With your technology, you shouldn't just take such a blurry photo, it should be something that forced you to Give up tracking and taking pictures, the only reasonable explanation is that you were found."

"I can't hide anything from you!" Jessica smiled wryly, and said, "I just pressed the shutter, and there was a slight flash of light, and the old lady standing hundreds of meters away spotted me, so I didn't Dare to stay longer, and leave immediately."

"So, you probably haven't been seen for your true face." Ling Xiao nodded slightly at first, and then said solemnly: "But even so, you can't be careless, who knows if that old godmother has other The means can find your trace."

After a short pause, Ling Xiao raised his head, looked at Jessica, and said in a deep voice: "Jessie, you should be quiet during this time, don't worry about Mrs. Gao's affairs, and focus on tracking and monitoring Matt Murdoch, The fate between these two people is not shallow, if you follow him, you will definitely be able to find her again. At that time, with Daredevil rushing forward, you will secretly investigate all the situation of Mrs. Gao, especially her interpersonal relationship. "

Ling Xiao's words revealed a trace of fear of Mrs. Gao, no, not Mrs. Gao, but of the entire Hand behind her, and of the Kunlun that exists in this world. What does the Kunlun of this world look like? of?

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Regarding Ling Xiao's order, Jessica had no intention of refusing at all. In the following period of time, her eyes were mainly fixed on Matt Murdoch, and she also There's the occasional James Wesley, and the gradually revealing Wilson Fisk.
