Chapter 28 Inquiry

The next morning, Li Buying was awakened by knocking on the door.

He got up, still in his pajamas and bleary-eyed, and went downstairs. He checked the security camera footage and saw a team of police officers. He opened the door and casually asked, "Officer, what can I do for you?"

One of the officers asked, "Sir, did you hear anything last night?"

"Uh..." Li Buying hesitated slightly, as if afraid of getting into trouble, but finally nodded. "Of course, I heard a few gunshots last night."

"Any other situations?"

He informed the police of something the unsuspecting resident should know. The policeman, who had no idea what he was getting, nodded slightly, not too disappointed, as it was just a routine matter.

As Li Buying watched the police leave, he was about to close the door when a car stopped in front of his house. The two people who got out of the car made Li Buying's pupils shrink and his muscles tense up. He then immediately forced himself to relax.

The people who arrived were Luke Cage, Wonder Man, and Matthew Michael, Daredevil.

There seemed to be another person in the car, but Li Buying couldn't see clearly. It looked like a black person or a very dark-skinned white person wearing an eye patch...

Wait, Nick Fury? Why is he here—

Remembering what his parents had left behind, the boy subconsciously looked towards a certain spot in the garden, then forced his gaze back and looked warily at the newcomers: "Who are you?"

Luke Cage was about to explain when Mash stopped him. He could tell from Li Buying's heartbeat that she was somewhat afraid of his friend. He stepped forward and handed her his business card.

"Hello, I'm Matthew Michael, and this is my bodyguard. We'd like to ask you a few questions and remind you of a few things, Mr. Li."

"..." Li Buying took the business card and looked at it, but finally stepped aside and said, "Please come in."

……

Rewind slightly to early morning, after the bodies of the two mercenaries were discovered and the police were alerted.

The dead were two rather well-known mercenaries, one of whom, Bullseye, was Daredevil's nemesis. The news spread quickly within the police department, and within almost an hour, most of the officers knew that the two mercenaries had died mysteriously in Queens.

After a brief examination, they discovered that Carter had been shot in the head, while Bullseye was caught off guard and killed by someone falling from the sky. The wounds were similar to the actual cause of Kingpin's death and the wounds on the corpses in the laboratory.

As a result, many of these police officers provided information to their superiors. Not to mention Kingpin in his rage, Daredevil also received news from his friend.

He was incredulous to learn that his enemy had died so easily and prepared to sneak to the crime scene to check the situation, but at that moment Nick Fury called.

"Chief, what's the matter?"

"Have you heard about it? I'm referring to Bullseye and Demonbane dying in Queens."

"I've heard about it, and I'm about to go check it out."

Nick Fury dropped a bombshell on Daredevil: "After comparison, we found that the wounds on the person who might be Kingpin, the experimenters, Bullseye, and Rattlesnake are unusually similar."

In other words, it is very likely that it was done by the same person or someone with similar methods.

"So why would the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. care about such a trivial matter?"

"Why do you think two mercenaries would choose to go to Queens?" Nick Fury asked rhetorically, then explained, "Based on their route, S.H.I.E.L.D. suspects they might be going there for one person."

"Who?"

"By the Chinese-American, B. Lee, was just an ordinary child, but his parents were different. They worked at Horizon Labs as assistants to a scientist named Sajani Jaffrey."

"so?"

Daredevil raised an eyebrow, hung up the phone, and looked out the door. His front door was open, and Nick Fury pointed to his car: "So when Sajani's team disbanded, they may have obtained and hidden a very valuable document."

Grabbing his cane, Matthew got into the car: "What information?"

"Artificial vibranium, a type of steel called 'reverberation steel'."

The most famous material in the world is vibranium, which is used to make Captain America's shield. Vibranium can absorb a large amount of energy and kinetic energy, and the upper limit is currently unknown. However, after various studies, laboratories have developed artificial alloys similar to vibranium.

Sajani Jaffrey's team is one of them, but the artificial vibranium they developed is extremely dangerous.

Unlike, or even the opposite of, original vibranium, this artificial vibranium can rapidly amplify and project the sound and vibrational energy in pulse waves. The amplified energy intensifies over time, eventually detonating violently.

Simply put, the vibranium used to make Captain America's shield absorbs energy and sound waves, while this artificial vibranium amplifies energy and sound waves.

That's right, it's suitable for making energy or sonic weapons.

"Such a dangerous thing is still being produced?"

Daredevil frowned slightly, and Nick Fury shook his head, saying, "No, when the reverberation steel was almost finished, the chief scientist at Horizon Labs stopped this dangerous experiment and disbanded Sajani's team."

"But after that, Sajani was in a car accident, or rather, a normal car accident, and the computer he was holding was almost smashed to pieces."

Nick Fury shrugged: "The remaining experimenters disappeared around the same time not long after. In the end, only two Chinese couples were not kidnapped, but they were involved in a serious car accident."

Sajani's accident was a normal car accident, but he didn't say the other two were normal car accidents.

Matthew frowned, and Nick Fury parked the car on a street he knew well:

"In short, all the people involved back then died, leaving only one or two orphans. There are still people who want to find information about that dangerous artificial vibranium, because the Chinese couple seems to be the most likely to have a backup. They were Sajani's favorite students."

"This is..." Matthew was speechless as he looked at the familiar street.

"Just in case," Nick Fury called out, rolling down the window, "Hey, Cage, let's go to Queens!"

……

"I have some... inside information, so I wanted to remind you that these two dead mercenaries definitely came for you, and I also wanted to ask if you know how they died."

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. did not find anything unusual about Li Buying through limited surveillance, Nick Fury still decided to give her a heads-up and ask her again if there was any information on vibranium.

"have no idea."

Li Buying paused slightly and then shook his head. Daredevil noticed this and guessed that he did know or had seen the "weaver," but was unwilling to reveal him.

As for whether it could be that person, it doesn't seem likely, after all, Li Buying looks like a frail young man.

Matthew stopped asking questions and then asked another question on Nick Fury's behalf: "Also, did your parents really not leave you anything?"

"No, there really isn't..."

Li Buying was getting annoyed by the questions: "People have been asking me this question for a long time. How would I know about my parents' work problems? After all this time, people are still trying to take things from me. But how can I take things out of the house if they don't have them?"
