Kilgrave knew that if he escaped through the hotel passage, then he would never have a chance to escape, so he chose the balcony, so, in Ling Xiao's eyes full of surprise, Kilgrave actually jumped from the top of the eighth floor.

As soon as Kilgrave disappeared, Jessica Jones's grip naturally began to loosen, Ling Xiao took the opportunity to point at her eyebrows, and the next moment, Jessica was already soft to the ground.

When Ling Xiao walked to the balcony, Kilgrave had disappeared from the night outside the window, and there was a cloud of blood left directly below the bottom of the building.

Ling Xiao, who was standing on the balcony, showed a triumphant smile on his face at this time, and with a slight wave of his right hand, the Obscure Sword turned into a silver light and had already entered the night.

By the time Beckett and the others woke up, Kilgrave and Jessica Jones were no longer in the room, and only Ling Xiao was sitting on the bed alone, looking at the three people who had woken up one after another.

"Ling, why are you here, where are we?" Beckett looked confused, she had no idea what was going on, she just remembered going to follow a suspect this morning, and then, and then she was gone.

"Why am I here, of course you called me over." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said what he knew from beginning to end, but at the end, he changed it slightly, and finally said angrily: "If I hadn't had some ability and noticed something wrong first, I'm afraid I would have been plotted by a few of you a long time ago." ”

"And what about the guy we were going to arrest?" Beckett glanced around the room, and there was no one but the four of them.

"I ran away, I didn't pay attention, two people jumped directly from the balcony, and they disappeared when they looked for it again." Ling Xiao led Beckett to the balcony and pointed to the bloody mass below.

Beckett immediately turned around and arranged for Ryan and Esposito to go down to check, and then said to Ling Xiao: "Ling, I only remember that I went to investigate this morning with Ryan and Esposito, and I have no impression of the weird robbery you talked about, and this mysterious middle-aged man, I believe that Ryan and Esposito are the same." ”

"It's none of your business, it's for me." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said, "You talk to Ryan and Esposito, leave this matter alone, you just treat it as if it never happened, and count me as if I owe them a favor." ”

"What about me?" Beckett raised his head to look at Ling Xiao, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

"You!" Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said, "For you, don't I still have enough, why don't I pay you back tonight?" ”

"Forget it!" At this time, the corners of Beckett's mouth showed a trace of a whimsical smile, shook his head, and said: "I'm afraid I have to work overtime tonight, let the suspect who was originally tracked run away in the morning, and we must catch up with the progress." ”

After a long time, Kevin and Esposito finally walked up from below, Kevin glanced at Ling Xiao with some hesitation, and then said to Beckett worriedly: "It has been verified, there is no problem." ”

Ling Xiao knew what he meant by this endless sentence, compared to Beckett, Kevin, Esposito and Ling Xiao's relationship had not yet reached the point of mutual trust and intimacy, and they didn't fully believe what Ling Xiao said before.

While going down to check the bloodstains, they also found their surveillance car, questioned the hotel staff, and contacted the police station.

Of course, they did not directly say the situation they were in, but vaguely asked the headquarters how well they knew their business.

According to the information from the police station, their group should be tracking a suspect, and even had the network department of the headquarters hack into the hotel's surveillance system in order to monitor the villa opposite.

Compared with the time when Ling Xiao came to the hotel, as well as the communication records on Beckett's mobile phone, it has been confirmed that what Ling Xiao said is true.

Ling Xiao didn't have much impatience or disgust at Kevin and Esposito's caution, this matter was originally involved because of him, and it was already very good that the two of them didn't vent their anger in front of him.

But maybe they should stay away from these two people in the future, so that they don't get involved in their own affairs again, of course, for this reason.

After handling the matter a little, Ling Xiao had already left, and the three of them still had a lot of follow-up work to do.

It's just that none of them knew that Ling Xiao didn't actually leave directly, but came to the beach after a slight turn, and in his senses, Kilgrave was picked up from the sea.

Back in the car, Ling Xiao looked at Jessica, who was lying in the passenger seat, and shook his head slightly, and returned directly to Los Angeles, because he noticed that the group had also returned to Los Angeles.

These were unexpected, Ling Xiao did not receive any news in advance about Baron Straker's plan to deal with him, knowing that Mina Tangde, the director of the Los Angeles branch of Hydra, was completely under his control, and even had been branded by him as a Dao soldier, it was absolutely impossible to betray him, and she didn't have any report about this matter, so it was a little interesting.

If Baron Straker began to suspect Mina Tangde and sent someone from San Francisco to Los Angeles to target Ling Xiao, then the ship just now should have returned directly to San Francisco, instead of heading for Los Angeles.

And Ling Xiao is confident that no third person will know about his affairs with Mina Town, so it is not necessary for Baron Straker to avoid the Los Angeles branch of Hydra in order to deal with him, so the most likely thing is that someone else is plotting against him behind this matter.

What Kilgrave said in the hotel before was naturally a lie, and Ling Xiao let him go before because he was suspicious. If it weren't for this, for such an opponent who might be betrayed by his closest people at any time, how could Ling Xiao allow him to survive, for the time being.

After returning to his own pharmacy, Ling Xiao said hello to Gan Jing, and then took him to the quiet room on the third floor, kneeling cross-legged on the ground, and the exercises were submerged, and after a while, a translucent figure came out of his top door, and then floated out of the window.

The high-strength tempered glass did not hinder Ling Xiao's soul for half a minute, and almost in the blink of an eye, this translucent figure had already appeared outside.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on Ling Xiao's soul, as if it was dressed in a moon-white veil, and the next moment, I saw the soul take a slight step, and the figure had disappeared into the street.

A few kilometers away, the Obscure Sword was quietly following Kilgrave and his party, and suddenly a moonlight-colored light fell from the sky, silently blending into the Obscure Sword, and the next moment, the entire flying sword seemed to have life, suddenly becoming more flexible, and the speed was several times faster.

In a warehouse outside the harbor of Long Beach, Kilgrave was helped into it and jumped from the eighth floor, even he almost lost half of his life, but fortunately he had considerable self-healing ability, and after a period of recovery, he was able to barely walk at the moment.

In fact, who is behind the plot against Ling Xiao, Kilgrave doesn't know, the other party just contacted him through a one-time phone call, although he asked to meet and discuss in detail several times, but the other party refused to give a reply, he understood that since the other party found him, he naturally knew his ability very well, he didn't have much choice, not to mention that the other party gave a generous enough reward.
