Chapter 1252: Black Dahlia
Elizabeth Ann Short.
The Black Dahlia tragedy.
These two names have frequently appeared in the media recently, and speculation about the tragedy and the murderer has become a popular event, with almost all the people participating.
The former is the victim’s real name, but no one knows the origin of the latter. Some say it’s because of the black dahlia she wore on her head when she was killed, while others say that the reporter learned about it from the pharmacy and customers near her residence. stage name. '
As for her occupation, according to Short's self-introduction before his death, she is a young actor who is not popular.
Unknown during his lifetime, he has attracted much attention after his death. But in such a cruel way, I don't know how Elizabeth Annshot will feel.
But, whatever she thinks, she can't tell anyone now.
And all the things about her during her lifetime, the last trace before she disappeared, and the cause of her death, were mentioned in newspapers almost in a 'rolling' manner.
Open any newspaper, you can see information about her from it.
Wandering in Hollywood during the day, dreaming of being discovered by scouts and becoming famous in Hollywood. At night, they were beaten back to reality, struggling between poverty and food and clothing.
Within a few days, all of Short's childhood dreams were unearthed. Want to marry the military, preferably the navy, and be a star.
During her lifetime, she frequented naval bases and clubs, and had affairs with several navy officers. On the eve of the end of the war two years ago, she established a romantic relationship with a pilot.
But soon he was stationed overseas, and a few months later, his mother wrote to tell Short that her son had tragically fallen to his death, and the relationship ended.
As the media dug deep, scouring Hollywood for any clues, more information was found.
Including Short's business of exchanging her body for money in order to maintain her glamorous appearance and dress, and when she was at her worst, she couldn't pay the room fee of $1 a day and was kicked out of the hotel.
Suddenly, the wind direction seemed to change.
People no longer pay attention to how she was killed and who did it, but began to be curious about her life experience, as if reading a vivid biography.
As for the rest of the news, it was all under the cover of 'The Life of the Black Dahlia', which also included the high-profile skunk scandal.
"No one is paying attention to this matter anymore. We need to solve all the troubles before the matter subsides..."
The Los Angeles News and Hearst Group set off a storm of public opinion that engulfed the entire Northeast.
But at the same time, Li Zitao is also pushing more forces into the case, trying to prevent the murderer from escaping legal sanctions.
The Los Angeles County State Police has set up a special team, gathering the strength of the FBI, federal police and bailiffs, and is doing its best to track down the whereabouts of the murderer.
It's just that, so far, there is no clue, and the clues that have been reported are all fake clues that are a waste of time.
It may be related to the bounty of 100,000 dollars. Every day, people call the police stations everywhere, wanting to provide so-called clues.
However, after careful investigation, these clues have nothing to do with this case, but have allowed the police to solve many other cases.
And some morbid fellow, finding out that 'The Black Dahlia' is getting the attention of almost half of America, wants to make a name for himself in a serious way.
In just one week,
Sixty or seventy people surrendered to the police by writing letters, making phone calls, and surrendering themselves to the police, saying that they would be responsible for the incident and that they killed Short.
The police naturally wanted to solve the case. If the case did not attract the attention of the whole people, and even the Vice President and the President called to inquire about the progress, they might find some unlucky guy to close the case.
But in the current situation, they must make sure that every clue is impeccable and can withstand the scrutiny of anyone and the media.
Besides, even if they wanted to close the case, the judge hearing the case would only think that he was being monkeyed with by the police based on the confessions of these pushy idiots.
On the 22nd, in the offices of the Los Angeles Times, an unsigned mailed package appeared on the editor-in-chief's desk.
It contained Short's birth certificate, social security card, photos with various military personnel during her lifetime, some business cards that may have come from customers, newspaper clippings reporting the death of her former romantic partner, luggage storage slips and an address book.
The Times reprinted it 2 hours later, and 4 hours later the whole of Los Angeles got the news. Dangwang took away Short's luggage with the police at 8 o'clock, and made a vague report on the address book.
What people are most curious about is the address book, but the Times did not report too much on the names in it, but only said the number of people contained in the address book, 75 people.
In the address book of this 75-man list, no one is a woman, and it is certain that several pages of the address book have been torn out before this.
Just when the focus of the media was getting more and more out of focus, the police finally made new progress. Short's wallet and black shoes were found in a trash can behind a building on 25th Street, a few kilometers from where the body was dumped.
There is still an endless stream of people who come to the police station to surrender. During this time, the Los Angeles Police Department is about to be broken through the threshold. People who don't know it think it is the studio of a certain movie giant.
In order to curb the spread and deterioration of this situation, the Los Angeles District Attorney filed a lawsuit against these people, and more than 50 people were subsequently sent to a mental hospital.
After the report on this matter, the pathological behavior of "self-blog attention" has finally been alleviated, but the telephone reports from enthusiastic people are still hot.
At this time, the skunk is also undergoing restructuring at the fastest speed. Regarding the rotation of the manufacturing plant under its name, the new treatment, the final list of layoffs, and the dismissal of high-level executives, the results will all be announced within the same week.
And the investigation list that Li Zitao has been paying attention to also has the results. Boeing, its subsidiary Skunk Works International R&D Center, and the studio under the same name are not on the investigation list.
After learning of this result, Li Zitao was finally able to board the plane to Chicago with a relaxed and happy mood.
The management and think tanks will be responsible for the follow-up issues. The other schedules have been delayed for too long, and we can no longer wait any longer.
Chicago Twin Towers, Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and SHIELD Headquarters.
The annual meeting had already ended when Li Zitao was still in Los Angeles, and he could only learn about the content of the meeting through meeting minutes, reports, and the secretary's dictation.
A mountain of documents was placed on the desk, waiting for the arrival of his human signing machine.
Two days before arriving in Chicago, Li Zitao was immersed in the joy of signing, and finally signed the last document until his wrist was about to swell.
