Chapter 695 Detective Jessica Jones, Kilgrave's Revenge

"Well, don't stand here either. He didn't say you can't sit down and rest."

Hearing this, Hope carefully moved to a chair and sat down, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, Miss Hope Slotman, who is that man?"

"I only know his name is Kilgrave, and he won't tell me the rest.

In his eyes, I'm just a plaything, and he can be discarded at will after he gets tired of playing." Hope said bitterly, "I really thank you very much, really.

If you hadn't come in time, even if he could let me go in the end, I would jump from here."

"How long can he control people?"

"I'm not particularly sure, but it should be twelve hours!"

"Very good, that means you will be free after twelve hours." Aaron comforted, then opened his phone and deleted all the videos he had recorded before.

"What are you doing?" Hope asked anxiously, "Why did you delete all the videos?"

"You didn't delete them to take up memory?"

"But these are evidence. If I give them to the police..."

"Don't be funny. The police are no match for him. As long as he talks, the police who arrest him will point their guns at their companions.

As for the wanted list... he can find the best doctor to change his face, and he can also control government officials to give him a new identity.

So this video is not a threat to him at all. At most, it will cause him a little trouble.

More importantly, you are also in the video. Once someone asks you, the victim, what happened today, I will naturally come into their sight.

To be honest, I don't like being in the spotlight, so... you'd better check your statement with me?"

"Check your statement?"

"Yes! I'll notify your parents when you're safe.

If they ask why you've been missing for a while, just say you were kidnapped by a pervert, don't mention Kilgrave's name, and dissuade them from investigating further."

"That's impossible, I can't do it."

"But you have to do it." Aaron said seriously, "I know you feel very humiliated, but your parents are just ordinary people. Once they get involved, they might be retaliated by him.

He has been at large for so long, has no one really reported the case?

Of course there are, but the final result is nothing. "

"You should have killed him just now." Hope said angrily.

"Miss Slotman, I have to remind you that your parents only paid me to find you. I have already exceeded the task.

As for killing people, that is not within my scope of business.

Also, although he treated me very badly, I shot him three times, which is fair.

If there really comes a day when I kill people at will based on my personal likes and dislikes, it will definitely be a disaster for this wonderful world."

Hearing this, Hope was speechless and just sobbed in grievance.

Seeing this, Aaron felt a little bit of pity in his heart, but he quickly calmed down his fluctuating emotions.

There are too many poor people in the world, he can't sympathize with them, not to mention that this matter involves superpowers, and too much intervention will only make him more conspicuous.

......

Time passed by minute by minute, and three hours later, Hope put down the knife and fork against her neck. She seemed to have been drained of strength and slumped in the chair.

"Congratulations, you are safe now."

Hope took a deep breath of the not-so-fresh air in the room, and then cried loudly, venting the emotions that had been suppressed deep in her heart.

Aaron did not stop her, but just covered his ears silently.

When she had almost finished crying, she looked at Aaron blankly and begged: "Can you call my parents?"

"Past experience tells me that it is better to be safe than sorry." Aaron said seriously, "Wait another seven or eight hours, and contact them when Kilgrave's ability is completely ineffective!"

"Then can you leave this place first?"

"I suggest you don't go anywhere within these seven or eight hours.

Kilgrave is a pervert, we don't know if he has planted any mines on you."

Hope fell into a brief silence and sat back at a loss.

At this time, a woman in a black coat and blue jeans carefully opened the door. She first glanced at Hope, and then set her sights on Aaron.

"Who are you?"

"I should ask you this question!" Aaron said speechlessly, "If I remember correctly, I locked the door. How did you get in?"

"Obviously, you remembered it wrong. The door was not locked at all."

"Okay! Then who are you?

It seems impolite to break into someone else's room without permission."

"Jessica Jones, a private detective, the Slotmans asked me to find their daughter Hope." Jessica said quickly, "You should introduce yourself, right?"

"Aaron Gaius, an ordinary shop owner."

"I remember that your online advertisement is very famous, and I gave it a thumbs up."

Aaron:......

Damn Phil Coulson.

"So you are here to find Hope too?"

"I guess so! You're a little late. I found her first." Aaron said with some pride.

"It doesn't matter." Jessica didn't care, but looked at Hope seriously and asked, "Is he here? Is Kilgrave here?"

Hope was stunned for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Aaron.

Aaron was speechless. They had just met a professional detective after they had checked their statements, and this detective seemed to be very familiar with Kilgrave.

"Why are you looking at me? This detective is asking you, just say what you should say." Aaron said seriously, "Anyway, I didn't see the third person when I came."

Hope immediately understood and shook his head at Jessica, "He's not here."

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, "How long has he been gone."

"More than five hours."

"He will be back soon, I have to rescue you quickly."

"I can't leave." Hope said tangledly. Aaron said that he had to wait for twelve hours before leaving, and it's not time yet!

"No, you have to come with me.

It will be too late when he comes back." Jessica looked at Aaron while pulling Hope's arm, "And you, you'd better leave quickly, the owner of this room is not a good person."

"Huh?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, and looked at Jessica with a hint of playfulness and sympathy.

He seemed to understand why the detective knew Kilgrave. If nothing unexpected happened, she should also be a victim, a victim before Hope Slotman.

However, knowing that he could control people's will, he dared to come to the door, which was also a commendable courage.

"Aaron, I..."

Beep...

Jessica's phone suddenly rang, and she pressed the answer button.

"Ms. Jones?"

"Mr. Slotman, I found Hope."

"Let me emphasize, Mr. Slotman." Aaron interrupted, "I found your daughter first."

Jessica rolled her eyes at Aaron and continued, "You must take her away, the farther the better.

Check out the hotel room and come directly to my office."

"I don't understand."

"Tell me, what happened?" Barbara asked anxiously.

"Don't ask so many questions, just do it and meet in my office." Jessica hung up the phone after saying, "Hurry up, we have to go."

Hope looked at Aaron hesitantly, not knowing whether to leave.

"Let's go! I'll go with you.

But I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I can only stay with you for one night at most."

"Thank you." Hope nodded gratefully. She also understood what Aaron meant. Kilgrave's ability would be invalid after another night, and he could only protect her until then.

The three of them quickly left the hotel. Hope sat on Aaron's motorcycle and followed Jessica's taxi to her detective agency, a dirty and messy rental house.

"For a woman, your home, no, office is a bit too simple.

A shabby desk, the cheapest vodka, a broken door and a leaky window." Aaron said with some disdain, "How much is the rent here per month? It should not be more than 500!"

"It's less than 1,000 including water and electricity. I can't afford it any more." Jessica said bluntly, "But what does it have to do with you?"

"Does it count as making me feel a little superior?"

Jessica rolled her eyes and said with a fake smile: "You are so humorous."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Jessica ignored him, but walked to Hope who was sitting on the bed and said patiently: "No matter how Kilgrave controls others, it will gradually become ineffective.

But it takes time, and we have to stay away from him as much as possible, so the three of us have to leave quickly."

"Excuse me for interrupting, who is this person called Kilgrave?" Aaron asked knowingly, secretly filling a loophole.

"You won't believe a scumbag who can manipulate others at will."

"I believe it. I have seen professional hypnotists who can hypnotize people with just a glance." Aaron said seriously. His own charm magic has the same effect.

"Hypnotist?" Jessica said "haha" to express her disdain. "You can understand it this way, but Kilgrave is a million times worse than a hypnotist."

"He forced me to do something I didn't want to do, but I inexplicably wanted to do it." Hope said with a sob.

"It's all over. Go back and have a good sleep and everything will be fine."

"You can't forget this by sleeping." Jessica squatted in front of Hope with sympathy, "Listen to me, it's not your fault."

"You don't understand."

"I understand, okay? I know." Jessica said with empathy, "Read it to me again, 'It's not my fault', tell me."

"It's not..." Hope finished her words with sobs, "It's not my fault."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is what the psychiatrist taught you, right?" Aaron teased, "Are you sure he's not a liar? No, I should just ask him how much money he cheated you out of?"

Jessica was angry, "Do you really think you're funny?"

"I don't think so, but cheap self-consolation is actually just a way of deceiving yourself.

If what happened to Kilgrave is true, then he is an indelible nightmare for you, and the nightmare will not end unless he dies."

Jessica was speechless. This was indeed the method taught by the psychiatrist, but she really didn't think it was useful.

At this time, the door opened and the Slotmans hurried in.

Seeing Hope crying, they, as parents, felt heartbroken.

"My baby, thank God." Barbara and Bob hugged their daughter tightly.

"It's not my fault."

"I know, baby."

"She will be fine, just don't let her get close to the man who kidnapped her." Jessica said.

"Kidnapped?" Bob seemed to know why his daughter had been missing for a month. She was really kidnapped!

"He... ran away." Jessica said against her will, "Now all you have to do is take Hope to the car and drive west without looking back until you get to your home in Omaha."

"We'll take her home now, thank you." Barbara said.

As soon as the three of them walked to the door, Hope turned around and gave Aaron a hug, "Thank you for saving me, you saved my life and my soul."

Jessica was stunned for a moment and looked at Aaron in surprise.

What did this guy do? It shouldn't just be that he found Hope, could it be...

Impossible, no one can save people in front of Kilgrave.

"That's exaggerated." Aaron smiled indifferently, "I just want to be worthy of my reward for doing things for money."

"Thank you too, Miss Jones." Hope looked at Jessica and said, "It's not my fault."

"Let's go! I'll catch up in a while." Jessica said as she packed up her things. She couldn't stay here for the time being. If she saved Hope, it would ruin Kilgrave's good deeds. If he found her, it would be miserable.

"Do you need to wait for you, Miss Jones?"

"Do you like watching women pack up private clothes?" Jessica teased.

Aaron shrugged and followed the three of them.

After a while, he followed the Sloman family into the elevator, and Jessica just packed her belongings and walked out of the room.

The elevator door began to close, and she saw Hope reached into her bag and pulled out a pistol.

"No!"

Jessica immediately rushed to the elevator, but was still a step too late, and only heard two gunshots.

She suddenly understood why Kilgrave recommended her to the Slomants to help find their daughter, why he and Gaius could find Hope so easily, and Kilgrave did not stop him at all.

He was a madman. He let Hope kill her parents with her own hands, and let her, the person who found her, fall into deep guilt and self-blame.

This was definitely Kilgrave's revenge. He was avenging himself for not saving him at the time, watching him being hit by a car, but turning around and leaving without looking back.
