The darkness is deep and silent...

Walking in such a place, Coulson didn't feel a little bit uneasy in his heart. Instead, he was very calm, thinking about the mission assigned to him by the director in his mind.

Two months ago, murders occurred frequently in various areas of New York.

All the victims appeared to have been bitten by sharp fangs or even eaten.

This is incredible.

The crime occurred in bustling cities far away from the wild, and no large and vicious animals were missing from nearby zoos. It is hard for people to imagine that animals would dare to invade human territory and hunt with such brazenness.

In the end, police and FBI investigators found nothing.

This attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.

They investigated using high-tech equipment and criminal investigation methods that are not available in general departments, but in the end... they found nothing.

Fury believed that this matter was not simple, and coupled with the impact of cannibalism cases on society, he sent his most trusted subordinate "Colson"!

Coulson didn't pay attention at first.

SHIELD is a department specially established to deal with supernatural events. He has already dealt with many supernatural incidents, and this one will only become one of the many incidents he solves as an agent of SHIELD.

but.

Whether it was criminal investigation methods that far exceeded the world's current level, or high-tech items that surpassed the world's current level... He investigated for two weeks and found no clues.

In the process, cases broke out more frequently, causing huge social repercussions.

Due to the pressure of public opinion, various departments and SHIELD have stepped up their investigation efforts.

But still no gain.

When Coulson couldn't think of a solution, he tried to find an old friend to ask.

They say they are old friends, but in reality they have only had two transactions.

He is an Asian young man in his twenties, whose identity is a mystery. He opened a business house in Hell's Kitchen and was responsible for collecting money and doing things.

but.

Although he charges money to do things, he is very principled.

Although he is not a good citizen who abides by the law, he is also a person who has self-judgment about good and evil, right and wrong, and his code of conduct is on the moral level.

Coulson once noticed him in an incident and solved the incident perfectly with his help.

Afterwards, they collaborated again and still solved the problem perfectly.

And this is the third time.

To be honest, if possible, Coulson would never want to cooperate with this person.

Because he is too mysterious.

I don’t know where he came from, nor his family situation, nor his purpose.

Even if you use the authority of the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you can only find out that this man suddenly appeared in Manhattan a year ago and opened a convenience store in Hell's Kitchen.

The rest cannot be found at all, as if they appeared out of thin air.

When working with such a person, Colson always feels like the other person is planning something behind his back, which makes him very uneasy.

Maybe agents are just suspicious by nature!

In the midst of his thoughts, a light appeared in his field of vision.

Colson stood still and looked at the window shack in front of him, which was only two meters wide. The signboard next to it said "Wan Shi Wu" in three Chinese characters, with English words below.

So is he from Xia Kingdom?

Based on the Chinese characters on the sign, Coulson guessed in his mind.

"Yo, Coulson!"

The upper body of a young man poked out from the window sill, holding 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 said, "Good evening, Mr. Gu Qing!"

"Not good at all."

The corners of the young man's mouth, known as "Gu Qing," were slightly raised, as if he was very happy.

"If the business is good enough, no one likes to stay up until midnight every day. I will try my best to make a living!"

"Then why don't you work for SHIELD?" Coulson said with a smile: "Although SHIELD is not a particularly high-paying job, it is definitely more money than your change."

"It's hard to say!"

Um?

Colson glanced at the young man in surprise. Seeing that the other man maintained a confident smile, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Does Mr. Gu Qing have any different opinions?"

"Um!"

Gu Qing took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and said: "Although my place is remote, there are few people, and I can easily be regarded as a liar. But once in a while, a big order is enough for me to live in the upper class for a year or two."

It’s time.”

Um?

Colson's heart moved, but a forced smile appeared on his face, as if he couldn't believe it, "Stop joking, in your industry, which seems to be obviously a liar, someone will really want to do big business with you?"

"certainly!"

Gu Qing stuffed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said happily: "Aren't you just bringing me big business?"

Colson was stunned for a moment, then returned to his smile, "Mr. Gu Qing, does he know why I'm here?"

"The recent case of cannibalism that has been making a lot of noise in the media!"

"Then Mr. Gu Qing knows the inside story?"

"It's not really an inside story, I just happen to know some information."

With that said, Gu Qing took out the credit card machine and said: "Two hundred thousand dollars, the information is yours."

"Two hundred thousand!?" Colson looked at him in surprise and said in disbelief: "Are you crazy about money? What news is worth so much?"

"If it's not worth it, you can ask the bank to freeze my account!" Gu Qing said nonchalantly: "We have cooperated twice, don't we even have this bit of trust?"

"We know nothing about Mr. Gu Qing, if..."

"If you don't believe it, just go ahead!"

Gu Qing stretched his right hand out of the alley, as if he didn't want to buy anything.

Coulson stared at him closely.

After a while, he relaxed and said: "Wait a moment, I have to apply for funding from the higher ups."

"random!"

Gu Qingman took a handful of melon seeds from the shelf and started eating them casually.

When Coulson saw this, he took a deep breath, then took out his cell phone and called Fury.

"...This is the situation."

After Colson explained the situation, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before a low voice came.

"I can give him two hundred thousand, but if the information is not worth that price, let the bank freeze his account."

"learn."

"Also, if possible, you can try to test the source of his intelligence!"

"clear!"

After Colson finished speaking, the other person on the phone hung up.

He raised his head and looked at the young man who was eating melon seeds and watching a variety show, seemingly not caring at all, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"The superiors agreed."

Colson came to the window, took out his bank card and entered the password on the card reader, and then said: "Now you can tell me the details!"

"...Well, the payment has arrived."
Chapter completed!
