Hollywood Domination Chapter 464: The most critical moment

"As a member of Jennifer's fans, as an old friend, I have the responsibility to answer fans' questions, not to the media and the public, but to brothers and sisters on the forum, and to friends who also like Jennifer... And I also know how curious you are from my private message, so, although this incident will violate the call of the police and have a bad influence on potential imitators, considering that the current media has already A lot of coverage, the impact itself is spreading, so I thought... ok, let's talk about what happened that night, and wrap it all up. - First I have to clarify The point is, this is my first personal meeting with Jennifer, I am not what you call an insider, I have never used my position as an administrator to my advantage, I have always been Jennifer The most ordinary fans..."

The girl in the video has obvious red and swollen eyes. It seems that the incident hit her quite hard, and she is still in a trance. When she started to look back, her emotions were obviously on the verge of collapse, "and Our first meeting was such a nightmare..."

She lowered her head, covered her face, her shoulders twitched, and she obviously began to sob again, so her words seemed a little bit interrupted, but it also made her words more real, "Oh, to be honest, it's still very painful to think about it now. Painful - it was a real nightmare - but even more painful was the news afterward, and the rumors and the questioning, and the fact that we didn't know who he was - we let him get close Jennifer..."

She was obviously holding back her tears, trying to catch her breath, and said softly, "And the fact that j.j has not woken up yet... We are like a tightly united family in a crisis. All doubts, bless j.j intently, and all I want to say is that j.j never let us down, during that half hour, the man whose name I don't want to mention has been tormenting her, using all kinds of means, threatening our lives - threatening to kill her, to force her to submit, he wanted to break j.j mentally, it was very obvious, but j.j didn't give in at all. She kept fighting him bravely Yong, protect us, she is, she is the best idol I can fall in love with..."

She started to cry again, this time the emotion lasted for quite a while, and it was difficult to calm down, "And that man is a villain, he has always wanted to put his essence on j.j, you understand Well, in his eyes, he is an envoy of justice, and J.J is a criminal, because she never paid attention to him, and did not love back like he loves her, so she is guilty and needs to be punished... At that time He was really scary, but j.j was very calm and composed, she didn't give in at all, although she was pointed at the back with a gun, she kept trying to control the situation, and in the end we were able to escape, and she was able to save herself, all because of her Wisdom—but I can't go on, it's too painful to recall these facts..."

Shaking back and forth uneasily, she covered her face again, it was obvious that just remembering this event caused her great pain, and seeing a person break down is actually very painful for the audience. It wasn't that pleasant either, no matter who it was, they were almost shrouded in the pain of suffocation, but fortunately, after a few sobs, she adjusted again, gritted her teeth and insisted on painfully Said: "Here, I also have to respond to your concerns - about the rumor letter that people are talking about, there is only one thing I can say: In that half hour, I never heard that person Talking to her about something like that, all he's been saying is illogical accusations, so I'm leaning more towards it being a forged letter just for fame. If you have basic judgment, you should believe that. "

"——I want to quote from a post I read: J.J is the one who inspires us in every low point of our life, the spirit represented by her legendary experience - the spirit of never giving up , is the best gift she gave each of us." After the reminiscence session, the girl's mood improved significantly, and her tone gradually calmed down, "So I won't give up, I Believe that she will wake up, I believe that everything will be fine, I hope everyone can believe this with me, j.j has performed so many miracles, this little thing can't bring her down-I believe this, I believe she will continue to accompany every moment of our lives and give us strength..."

She picked up the camera and let it scan the movie posters in the room, a whole cabinet of Jennifer's audio-visual products and magazines - and the video also ended at this time, leaving a subtitle-like statement, Joanna. Tate refuses any media and news websites to quote this video, and also prohibits any reprinting. She herself will not accept any interviews. That is to say, viewers can only watch this video on YouTube to learn what happened that night. What's going on: This video has so far received 1 million hits and thousands of comments. The variety of languages ​​fully reflects the international nature of Jennifer Jefferson.

"Surprisingly, although the number of clicks on this video is very high, most of the comments below are swearing at those who put pressure on Joanna to let her introduce the situation that night." Angelo said, he There was a slight sarcasm in her tone, "The rest of the group disliked that she didn't speak clearly enough, and her emotions were obviously not stable enough, so you can see that the debate in the comments was very fierce-but it seems that YouTube is deleting it, which is not good for Jenny. Fer's comment, a strong PR offensive, isn't it? But anyway, it seems that neither party has much doubts about her statement-this girl has closed the last loophole, hasn't she?-It is worthy of Jennifer's number one fan."

Jared gave his subordinates an annoyed look as a response to him: He knew who Angelo was referring to, and what he was suspicious of, Judy Ackerman has been frequently at the police station since last week Activities nearby, and walked into the police inspector's office several times, and this made the team members' hearts flutter, and they always felt that some conspiracy was brewing. In particular, the big reversal of the media has made them suspicious—although they don't like the media's enthusiasm for speculation and rumors, but the current trend has obvious traces of shady scenes, which makes these ordinary policemen a little bit in crisis feel.

"How should we deal with it?" Didn't get a response from the captain, and Angelo didn't think he was disobedient. He continued to ask, "Should we correct Joanna's statement and disclose Vijay's confession?"

Objectively speaking, the police never greeted Charles and others to keep silent, and even if there was a request, it could not be mandatory. In the case that Cesare Vijri's confession clearly provided Joanna with a reason, Joanna said 'they didn't talk about these things at all, this letter is a fake letter', not lying, but just saying that she believes that fact, and this fact may not be so true. The police can't question her again because of this, or even give her a polygraph test, at least not under the current evidence conditions. ——However, this does make the police appear more passive. After all, they have the real "half-hour truth" in their hands, and if they come forward to correct it, it is tantamount to violating the principle of "not talking about it".

After thinking about it for a while, Jared still shook his head, "Let's focus on the computer, we need some real evidence, otherwise the police superintendent will never allow us to brief the media—"

Seeing Angelo's dissatisfied expression, he added, "Considering the obvious tendency of the media now, it's an old-fashioned move to do this, Angelo, you definitely don't want to be targeted by the media. "

"But--well." Angelo was obviously a little unwilling, but he still turned around and said, "I'll see how the technician is doing. I heard from him when I got off work yesterday. If it goes well, probably The software can test results within a few hours."

He took out his mobile phone and lowered his text message, Jared reprimanded, "He's in the next office—"

"But he asked us to try our best to contact him by mobile phone." Angelo shrugged innocently, "He said this is his favorite way of communication, these new century kids——"

Putting his feet on the desk, he put down his phone and compared the computer desktop again, "Do you think Joanna's video is voluntary?"

"My only feeling is that this girl clearly has severe ptsd," Jared said, "she should see a psychiatrist, it's a complete mess—"

He stroked his chin and thought for a moment. Compared with Jon's performance in previous interrogations, he nodded thoughtfully, "But it's true, this is a bit strange. In the more stressful environment of interrogation, her performance On the contrary, it has been very good all the time, and it has not been so unbearable—do you think there is someone behind this incident?"

As he was speaking, Angelo straightened up, pulled down the blinds and looked outside, at this moment, he whistled, "speak of the devil—"

Jared bent down and took a look: Judy Ackerman walked into the police station with two other men. She was still the same as before, with a flamboyant Hollywood style, but a certain "big shot" by her side 'It seems that this is a good thing, even in the office far away, Jared can see the smile on his face-the superintendent himself took them into his office, and this also dispelled the last trace of good in his heart Feeling.

"I'm afraid we really don't have time." He said to Angelo, "Press Jack again, how much time does he need--"

Angelo turned on his phone, and just at this moment, his phone vibrated, and Angelo glanced at it, and couldn't help showing a big smile on his face, "shit——surviving a desperate situation , Captain——Jack finally got the computer ready."

This news really lifted Jared's spirits. Together with Angelo, he hurried into the office at the end, while Jack, the technician sitting in it, walked past them with a mug in his hand. , just compared to the computer, "allyours."

Being able to see the desktop of the computer instead of the login page as usual has already made Jared very excited. He pushed Angelo, who is also good at computers, to sit in front of the computer, "Look for pictures first—Zade Through the paparazzi, maybe he got some special photos."

"Okay, I hope he doesn't have the habit of encrypting hidden folders," Angelo said, and he clicked his tongue again, "Although this may not be so possible...But, baby, we really don't have much time It's—"

He quickly clicked on the menu page, flicking here and there, and quickly searched Zade's picture folder - he does have a huge picture library, but fortunately Zade is a very Organized people, Jared et al were able to sift through all folders of pictures related to Jennifer.

"S, try to search from the beginning of s." Jared said, while Angelo was a little skeptical, "——would he be so bold?"

He tried to search and found a folder named shafe.k, but there was nothing in it, Angelo muttered, "Let me see if there are any hidden files ——Ha, this is really a low-level method.”

After some clicking, a photo appeared in front of the two of them—there was no doubt that it was a photo of a corpse—it had been meticulously decorated, with blood written on it, although the face could not be seen, but Just seeing the word 'Jennifer' in blood made Jared excited.

"It's him." He said with certainty, "It must be Shef Cole, fuck, we found the treasure, Angelo-at least Zade didn't lie about this, he really killed Shef."

Although the photo of the dead body is somewhat intrusive, both he and Angelo are filled with joy: At the last moment, the case finally found a breakthrough-this is simply a last-second reversal. Prior to this, the police were a downright useless character in this case, slow to respond and procedurally bureaucratic, and insisted on investigating for the sake of face, but after this, all the pressure on the team will be rewarded-since Zade really killed Shef . Cole, then this involves the missing corpse. Zade's statement that he was hunted down when he went back to check the corpse is not so absurd. At least they have the evidence to continue the investigation and have a second Including a life, the polygraph search warrant is no longer out of reach. After obtaining the search warrant for Dameng, they can even try to find loopholes and find more illegal evidence. If Cesare starts As far as intervening in the company's operations, there is no doubt that he has violated several regulations——

A light knock on the door broke Jared's reverie, and Jack returned to the door with his mug on his hook.

"Boss," he said, with a slightly uncertain expression, "the superintendent asked you to go to his office—take the computer with you."

The superintendent knew the news that the computer was hacked so quickly? Jared stood up excitedly, closed the laptop, and tucked it under his arm—he hoped that Judy Ackerman hadn't left yet, so that he could announce the news without her face...

"Is that Hollywood woman gone?" He stopped abruptly.

"She just left." Jack said, which made Jared a little regretful, but instinctively relaxed: Of course, this scene can only be imagined, and the police must definitely keep this development secret. Furthermore, that woman always made him feel uncomfortable, as if her existence represented a variable.

Given a gesture with Angelo, he walked briskly into the police inspector's office—but he felt a little ominous when he reached the door: Although Judy Ackerman left, she came with her The two stayed, and although one of them was wearing casual clothes, his sturdy demeanor caught his attention in the blink of an eye—this was definitely a colleague.

"Boss, are you looking for me?" He hesitated, but in the end he could only walk into the office and asked reluctantly.

"Yes." said the superintendent, looking pale and tired, as if he had just had a long meeting, and the result of the meeting was not satisfactory, and he gestured, "Give the computer to Kerry Detective, this case is out of our hands now."

To be honest, when he saw this scene, Jared more or less had a premonition—from the expression on the police officer's expression, he knew that this was not something he could change, and even the police officer could only It is to follow orders, the pressure may come from a higher level, but——

"But we have found the evidence." Jared still had a glimmer of hope, he said loudly, turned on the computer, and let the police inspector see the photos inside. "This is a photo of Shef Cole, Superintendent, if you know what I mean—"

The superintendent's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the **** scene on the screen, his expression was indeed touched in an instant, but——

Almost in the blink of an eye, the plainclothes man snatched the computer from Jared’s hand. He didn’t even know what happened—although he had also exercised, Jared was no longer a young man after all. ——Just a blink of an eye, a light touch of the hand, the computer fell into the hands of the plainclothes man, and he could only glare at him after he realized it.

The other party was obviously not affected. He indifferently stuffed the computer into the bag and picked up the evidence box on the table. "This is already an FBI case, thank you for your efforts - Superintendent Herbert."

"Detective Thomson." The superintendent nodded to him, his tone was cold and unhappy, but Jared could see that the interest and hope that had arisen just now had been mercilessly extinguished by Thomson's domineering behavior. He cried out in protest, "—but this is a state case!"

"As you said, Detective, this case involves British missing person Shef Cole," Detective Thomson glanced at him, unlike when he was joking with Judy Ackerman just now happy, and his tone was colder than that of the superintendent, "This is a transnational case, and the fbi will take over."

He ignored his colleagues, turned around and walked out of the office. Several other FBI staff members walked into the hall wearing uniforms, apparently about to take over all the materials related to the case, and the hidden meaning behind this— He even blatantly arrived with Judy Ackerman—which made him even more unacceptable. He clenched his fists, and for a moment he almost wanted to—

"According to the request of the fbi, the police department will hold a press conference later to announce the transfer of the case." Said, "Jared, I need you to be a spokesperson-this Mr. Li will help you prepare your speech-sorry, I will leave."

He clutched his stomach pretentiously, and hurriedly left the office—did not forget to close the door, while Jared narrowed his eyes and looked suspiciously at the middle-aged man who was still lingering—he was in a suit and tie, to some extent Reminds him of Judy Ackerman——

"Mr. Dunphy," Li said, with a smile on his face and a friendly tone, "Nice to meet you, I'm Kolev Li, and I'm here to visit on behalf of some friendly people who are very concerned about the welfare of the police. "

He did not mention the speech, but said with concern, "We know that the real estate you live in now belongs to the green field project of Pruitt Real Estate Group, and there are still 17 years of unpaid mortgages, and you are about to pay off at the end of the month. Ushering in your fourth baby - Captain Dunphy, we are very pleased to inform you that you are just in line with the welfare project of the foundation. You pay your mortgage, which we believe can greatly reduce the stress of your life—"

"Bullshit." Jared blurted out, he almost wanted to punch Li in the face, "So that's what you mean? Fuck, use money to buy me—"

"We're here to help, Captain Dunphy." Li's smile didn't change at all, he opened a folder and handed it to Jared, "This is a regular Sunshine project, Captain, with all due respect, I think it's important You are also beneficial and harmless, Mrs. Dunphy has no job, and you really need this fund."

Jared glanced at the document, and then looked at Li's hateful smiling face—he is indeed a sophisticated policeman, and he is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of human relationships. He can understand what Lee Ackerman and the so-called Thomson said The meaning of the representative, the huge omnipresent and omnipotent black undercurrent is definitely not something he can resist——

But at this moment, the temptation to punch Li Lai was so strong that he could even hear his own knuckles cracking.

"fuckoff," he said, taking a deep breath, "or I'll punch you in the face and make you pay for your nose reshaping surgery with that measly two thousand dollars."

Li restrained his smile.

"Captain," he whispered, full of dangerous hints and promises, vividly compressed into the word 'Captain' with countless terrifying images, "I think you really need to think about this invitation—look, if As I said, you have a wife and four children who are all very sweet—fragile and vulnerable to..."

Jared growled, he raised his fist, but Lee didn't back off, he just stared at him calmly, like everything he said was going to come true - he was telling the truth. "You can beat me all over the place, I don't doubt it, Captain Dunphy, but I'm afraid it won't help at all. You know I'm only sent here, and people like me are in the ring It's not hard to find inside—and you actually have a pretty good idea of ​​how powerful these guys are, I mean, look around you."

He pointed to the wall-mounted TV set on the wall, "Look at the program, look at the website-you know what I mean, Captain."

Jared's hand loosened slowly and lowered at a slower speed, and Li smiled again—and this time, there was a trace of pity hidden in his smile.

"To a certain extent, I understand your feelings." He said, handing the folder to Jared again, and his tone became more sincere, "But trust me, captain, you don't want to fight against those people - If I were you, I wouldn't want to."

Jared pushed the folder away.

"Just tell me what I'm going to say later," he said, shaking his head as he felt he really needed a shot right now.

"That can be discussed later," Lee said, continuing to shove the folder over to Jared, "Now, honestly, man to man—since you're already doing this—it's like I said Yes, you can really use this money, and the foundation will even pay for your children's college tuition in the future, man, four children, and now that crazy student loan interest rate-"

His tone of affection did not impress Jared, but it also made him understand something. He stared at Li with wide eyes and said suddenly, "I have to sign, don't I?—not just not allowed Resist, and do not allow rejection—"

Li's movements paused for a moment, and the next second, he showed a professional smile.

"You do need the money anyway, don't you?" he said. "So, take it easy and look at it from another angle—it might be a good thing."

Jared stared at him stared at him stared at him - he turned his head and spat on the ground, cursed "youasshole", grabbed a pen and signed his name on the document hastily.

#

"Based on the bad influence of this case and the follow-up rumors, and the complexity of the source of the rumor spreader's IP, which has exceeded the investigation capabilities and jurisdiction of the police station, sfpd has decided to hand over the case to the fbi for handling, and the fbi will continue to pursue the rumors The sender of the letter, and the follow-up matters of the kidnapping case, they will hold a press conference in the next few days..."

Squinting her eyes and taking a final look at Captain Dunphy on the podium—amused by his tense shoulders and stern expression—Judy turned off the TV, turned around and walked back to the office.

"The police have already done it." She said, "Now there is only one last step left, tell me you are going well-he must have left some clues in the computer at least."

"It's a bit difficult, he's used to sweeping footprints—but it's not completely hopeless, Edward doesn't seem to think that he won't be able to return to the apartment alive...ok, I found some useful clues—allright—" Jim almost He said to himself, his eyes completely glued to the screen, "This looks interesting——"

Judy shook her head wordlessly, showing an unbearable expression, but she didn't continue to disturb him: Although a large number of PS photos have achieved a good cover effect, even if the second anonymous email was sent truthfully, it was almost impossible. It is difficult to attract the attention of the media, but of course the safest way is to log in to Zade’s mail server and delete the emails he stored in it. This is why they must get the computer—Zade may inadvertently What clues are left in the computer.

"You still have three hours a day," she said, looking at her watch. "Oh, no, two hours and forty-five minutes a day, and if you can't log in before that, then you—"

Judy didn't finish her sentence when the sudden ringtone of her mobile phone interrupted her. She picked up the phone, answered a few times with "ummm", and then hung up calmly.

"What?" Jim asked, taking a quick glance at her from the screen. "Is this your 'important person exclusive ringtone'?"

"Yeah." Judy said, "It's the hospital - j.j just woke up."
