Chapter 1 Have you heard of ghosts?
Darkness, silent...
Walking in such a place, Colson was not at all nervous, but was very calm, thinking about the task assigned to him by the director.
Two months ago, murders occurred frequently in various regions of New York.
All victims have the characteristics of being bitten by sharp teeth or even being eaten.
This is incredible.
The crime scenes are all bustling cities far away from the wild, and there are no large and fierce animals lost in nearby zoos. It is hard to imagine that animals will dare to invade human territory and swagger in hunting.
In the end, the results of the police and FBI investigators were not found.
This attracted the attention of SHIELD.
They investigated through high-tech equipment and criminal investigation methods that are not available in general departments, and in the end... they found nothing.
Fury believed that this matter was not simple, and coupled with the influence of cannibal cases on society, he sent his most trusted subordinate "Colson"!
Colson didn't care at first.
S.E.L.D. is a department specially designed to target extraordinary events. He has handled many supernatural events, and this will only become one of the many events he solved as an agent of S.E.L.D.
but.
Whether it is criminal investigation methods that are far beyond the current level of the world, or high-tech items that are beyond the current level of the world... He investigated for two weeks, but found no clues.
In this process, the frequency of cases broke out higher, causing huge social responses.
Under pressure from public opinion, all departments and SHIELD have stepped up their investigations.
But there is still no gain.
And Colson tried to ask an old friend when he couldn't think of a solution.
I'm an old friend, but in fact I just had two transactions.
He is an Asian young man in his twenties, and his identity is a mystery. He opened a house in Hell's Kitchen, responsible for collecting money and doing business.
but.
Although it is to collect money and do things, it is very principled.
Although he is not a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations, he is also a person who has self-judgment for good and evil, and has a moral standard for behavior.
Colson once noticed him in an incident and solved the incident perfectly with his help.
Afterwards, they had another cooperation and it still solved the problem perfectly.
And this is the third time.
To be honest, if possible, Colson definitely doesn't want to find this guy to work with.
Because he is so mysterious.
I don't know where he came from, nor do I know the family situation, nor what purpose it is
Even if the authority of Director S.H.I.E.D. was used, it was only possible to find out that the man suddenly appeared in Manhattan a year ago and opened a convenience store in Hell's Kitchen.
The rest cannot be found, as if it appeared out of thin air.
When working with such a person, Colson always feels like the other party is planning something behind the scenes, and he is very worried.
Maybe the agent is suspicious!
There is a hint of light in the field of vision between thoughts.
Colson stood still and looked at the windowsill convenience store that was only two meters wide in front. The sign next to it said the three Chinese characters "Wanshiwu" and there was also English below.
So did he come from Xia Kingdom?
Through the Chinese characters on the sign, Colson guessed in his heart.
"Yo, Colson!"
A young man's upper body poked out from the windowsill, with a cigarette in his mouth and looking at him with a smile.
Colson turned around as if nothing had happened, with a kind smile on his face and greeted: "Mr. Gu Qing, good evening!"
"Not good at all."
The young man, who was called "Gu Qing", raised his lips slightly, and seemed to be very happy.
"If the business is good enough, no one likes to stay up until half a night every day. I also try my best to make my life!"
"Why don't we work in S.H.I.E.D.?" Colson smiled and said, "Although S.H.H.D. is not a particularly high-paying job, it is definitely more money than you are looking for."
"This is hard to say!"
Um?
Colson looked at the young man in surprise. Seeing that the other party kept a confident smile, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Does Mr. Gu Qing have any different opinions?"
"Um!"
Gu Qing took a sip of cigarettes and slowly exhaled them, saying, "Although my place is remote and has few people, it is easy to be regarded as a liar. But once a big order is enough for me to live a free and easy life in the upper class for one or two years."
Um?
Colson's heart moved, but a forced smile appeared on his face, looking like he couldn't believe it, "Stop kidding, you are an industry that obviously looks like a liar. Is there anyone who really asks you to do a big business?"
"certainly!"
Gu Qing stuffed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said comfortably: "You, isn't this just sending me a big business?"
Colson was stunned for a moment, and then smiled back, "Does Mr. Gu Qing know why I came?"
"The cannibal case has been rumored in the media recently!"
"Does Mr. Gu Qing know the inside story?"
"The inside story is not considered a matter of fact, I just happened to know some news."
As he said that, Gu Qing took out the card swiping machine and said, "Two hundred thousand US dollars, the information is yours."
"Two hundred thousand!?" Colson looked at him in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Are you crazy about money? What kind of news is worth so much?"
"If it's not worth it, you can let the bank freeze my account!" Gu Qingman said indifferently: "We have worked together twice at least. Do you have no trust in this?"
"We know nothing about Mr. Gu Qing, if..."
"If you don't believe it, please let me know!"
Gu Qing reached out his right hand to the alley, looking like he was not buying.
Colson stared at him.
After a while, he let out his mouth and said, "Wait a moment, I have to apply for funds from above."
"random!"
Gu Qingman took a handful of melon seeds from the shelves and started eating them carelessly.
Seeing this, Colson took a deep breath, then took out his cell phone and called Fury.
“…this is the case.”
After Colson explained the situation, the other end of the phone was silent for a while before a low voice came.
"You can give him 200,000, but if the information is not worth that price, let the bank freeze his account."
"learn."
"In addition, if possible, you can try to test his source of information!"
"clear!"
After Colson finished speaking, the other side of the phone hung up.
He raised his head and looked at the young man who was eating melon seeds while watching variety shows. He seemed to be not caring about it at all, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"The above agreed."
Colson came to the window, took out his bank card and entered the password on the card swiper, and said, "Now you can tell the details!"
“…Well, it’s been deposited.”
