Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 38
Looking at the ordinary houses in front of her, Valeria seemed a little hesitant.

"What are you hesitating for?" Franklin stood beside her, "Don't dare to reveal the answer, it's not like you at all."

"Shut up, I was just thinking of some reason." Valeria quibbled.

"It's really troublesome." After speaking, Franklin went straight to the gate, ignoring Valeria's stop, and knocked on the door.

"Who are you?" A middle-aged woman opened the door.

"Hello, I'm Colt's classmate. We have a science interest group today. I want to ask him if he wants to join us." Franklin made up nonsense without changing his expression.

"I see." The woman nodded, "What a coincidence, Colt went to the library, do I need to tell him when he comes back?"

"Ah, that's it." Franklin showed a regretful expression, "That's all right, since he's not here, there's nothing we can do. Let's go to the library to find him, sorry to bother you."

"It seems that you haven't been missed on purpose." After watching the woman close the door, Franklin turned back and said to his sister.

Valeria sighed: "Go and see on the road, maybe there are some clues on the way to the bus station."

The two brothers and sisters watched carefully while walking slowly towards the station.

"It's all at the station, and we still haven't found anything." Franklin pursed his lips. "Shouldn't there be some clues such as a dropped badge and wallet on the road to help us determine the location of the crime?"

"First of all, such obvious clues can only be found in novels or TV. Secondly, we don't know whether he was kidnapped yet. Of course, if you have a foreknowledge, tell us otherwise."

Franklin smiled awkwardly: "Of course I didn't foresee anything."

"Your behavior today is already very strange, I hope you know what you are doing." Valeria glanced at him, then walked across the road.

"Hey, Xiaowa, wait for me." Franklin hurriedly followed, "Where are you going?"

"There is a surveillance camera installed at the entrance of this hardware store. I may have captured some useful footage, so I'll borrow it." Valeria said.

"Are you going to just walk in and ask for it?" Franklin looked at his sister with a strange look, "or, are you going to tell him, 'I am Valeria Richards, and now I suspect that my man My friend disappeared here, so I need to borrow your surveillance video, or Dr. Doom will come and tear down your store tomorrow'?"

Valeria took a deep breath, turned to look at her brother, and smiled kindly: "Then what do you say?"

"Simple." Franklin snapped his fingers, and then disappeared in place.

Almost in an instant, he reappeared with a USB flash drive in his hand: "It's done."

"Did you directly copy the store owner's video?"

"Yes." Franklin replied naturally, "By the way, in order to hurry up, I also sped up the copying time."

Looking at his younger sister with a bad face, Franklin quickly said, "Do you want to go home quickly and see if there is any useful information?"

Valeria could only sigh: "Take me back, we are not a formal law enforcement department anyway."

Afterwards, Franklin grabbed his sister's arm, and the two immediately disappeared in place.

……

Top floor of the Pasteur Building.

"Did you find anything?" Franklin floated in his sister's room, looking at Valeria who was checking the video.

"Don't worry." Valeria watched carefully, "It's coming!"

Hearing the sound, Franklin quickly floated to the computer screen.

The surveillance video at this time happened to capture the image of Colt walking by.

"Looking at the time, he doesn't seem to intend to miss the appointment." Franklin looked at the time under the monitor, "According to normal circumstances, he should arrive at the library ten to fifteen minutes earlier than the time you agreed on. Look, I said he I won't break the appointment on purpose."

"This discovery can't make things much easier." Valeria's face was serious. "Now I hope that he just missed the appointment on purpose, so I can have less trouble."

Soon, Colt walked around the corner and disappeared from the surveillance.

"It seems that there are no valuable clues." Franklin pouted, "If you really care about him, why don't I take you to the scene at that time?"

"Don't make trouble. The danger of crossing the timeline indiscriminately is too great, I dare not do it casually." Valeria said, and she began to tap the keyboard quickly, "Who said we have nothing to gain?"

Following her instructions, the surveillance video began to zoom in rapidly, and soon, at the corner of the screen, a section of a strong arm was revealed.

"What is this?" Franklin frowned, "Is there someone around the corner?"

"I don't know." Valeria replied, "I want to deal with this shot. This kind of black and white video used by the store owner to save money is not very clear."

As she spoke, she opened another software and began to restore the original black and white surveillance video to color.

"I have to say that the software developed by my father is still very useful." Franklin said with emotion.

With the end of the program, the entire lens returned to normal color, but the arm showed a weird gray color.

"Why does this thing look like cement?" Franklin frowned.

Valeria was also silent. She thought for a moment, then rushed to the laboratory and returned to the room with an instrument similar to a detector: "Xiao Fu, take me to that corner again."

……

"Didi." At the corner of the street, Valeria carefully tested with the detector,

"If I remember correctly, this thing is an instrument used to detect traces of magic in Asgard, right? You don't suspect that your boyfriend was kidnapped by Thor, do you?" Franklin asked.

"Xiao Fu, are you a fool? Who told you that only Asgardians have traces of Asgardian magic?" Valeria stared at the numbers without raising her head.

Franklin was about to refute, and then, he was surprised to see the data on the detector start to soar: "What the hell? Your boyfriend was really kidnapped by Asgard people?"

"It's not Asgardian." Valeria sighed, "It's absorbing people."

"Absorbing people?" Franklin suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, no wonder you said that you are not an Asgardian, but you also have traces of Asgardian magic, that guy was cursed by Loki before and then poured some magic potion Bar?"

"Yes." Valeria put away the detector, "So even if he is not an Asgardian, he will leave that kind of trace, but how did Colt get involved with him? "
