Chapter 1202 1202 Unyielding Paparazzi
Dawes-Carter raised his hand and gave him the back of his head. Unfortunately, he still didn't kill the buzzing mosquito, but left a red fruit palm print on his neck, but Dawes also There is no superfluous expression, he has long been used to it, and his eyes are still fixed on the house in front of him.
But the house was still dark and there was no light. Dawes pouted and twisted his neck. His spine was a little stiff because he had not moved for a long time. He looked around and found the cold pizza from the pizza box in the passenger seat. Raising his hand and stuffing it into his mouth, his eyes caught sight of the time displayed above the radio. It was already 5:15 in the morning. Only then did he realize that he had been sitting here without moving for nearly eight hours.
Dawes chewed on the cold pizza, but once again his eyes turned to the dark window of the house in front of him.
This is the house of the Chandler family, the house of Evan Chandler and the Jordan Chandler family, the one accused of molesting Michael Jackson. The Chandler family received a $10 million out-of-court settlement for the child.
Chandler was a smart guy. After he got the settlement money in January, he disappeared in Los Angeles, quietly and without making any sound. After four months, the media stopped paying attention to them completely. left Los Angeles. Chandler also made short stops in Seattle and Chicago, before arriving in New York towards the end of the summer.
Chandler is a dentist, he opened a dental practice in New York, and then bought a single-family house in New Jersey, and lived a happy and happy life.
In order to find the Chandler family, Dawes actually spent nearly half a month before and after. It can be seen how hidden their family is, and almost completely disappeared from the media's sight. After a brief investigation, Dawes found that Chandler's abacus was very good. After buying a real estate and setting up a clinic, there was still 10 million settlement funds left, which also allowed their family to live a luxurious and high-class life. .
Chandler's wife began to frequent luxury brands, enjoying the life of a lady; Chandler himself became addicted to alcohol, and was keen to go to high-end clubs and enjoy the happiness brought by high-end wine and cigars; more ironically Yes, Chandler's son Jordan attended a private school on the Upper East Side, and as far as Dawes knew, Jordan was actually seeing a psychiatrist.
Last time, because of the conflict between Adam and Mr. Bond, Dawes sold Hugo a face, but he got an unexpected clue, which made Dawes suddenly realize that there seems to be a truth behind the Michael Jackson case!
In fact, Dawes has always found it very strange. Hugo's trust in Michael can be said to be unconditional. Although Hugo gave a reasonable explanation when facing the media, when he thought about it carefully, Hugo's performance always gave There is an illusion that "he knows the truth". It seems that Hugo knew the truth from the beginning to the end, and there are too many doubts.
And now, Jordan is being treated by a psychiatrist, which further confirms Dawes's conjecture. He doesn't care how Hugo knows - no one in Hollywood has a secret, but what he cares about is the hidden behind the Chandler family. What a secret!
Amethyst Sodium
When Dawes was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the headset in his ear, interrupting his thoughts, "Sodium Ammitor..." This term was also mentioned in the headset. Dawes raised his head and looked over, but there was still no sound. I saw any light, but if I looked carefully, I could see a little bit of light on the side. If Dawes remembered correctly, it should be the location of the study.
A woman's voice came from the headset, "Mr. Chandler, don't worry, I don't ask much. If I only need half a million dollars, I will shut up." This was the voice of Susannah, the maid hired by the Chandler family.
It took Dawes nearly a month to approach Susanna without a trace. Since Dawes had no evidence, he didn't want to startle the snake, let alone leave a clue, so he planned to guide the greed and shrewdness of the Colombian immigrant to discover instead of him. the truth. Then, it took Dawes three weeks to make Susannah realize, through hints, that the Chandlers had tricks and loopholes, and then he began to wait for the reward.
Last week, Susannah found traces of sodium amitol at Chandler's house, and Dawes led her to the pharmacy to ask about the efficacy of the drug, and pretended to accidentally drop the newspaper when Hugo accused the media of witch trials. On the table where they ate, Sodium Anmital was mentioned above.
Dawes knew that Susannah was a smart person, and she would definitely do something about it. Sure enough, she took the initiative to attack today, which finally made the bug that Dawes put in Chandler's house to come in handy.
"...Damn lies, if you want to blackmail me, then you are definitely looking for the wrong person, if you want to slander me, then you are also looking for the wrong person!" Evan Chandler bluffed retort, but Dawes could clearly feel the tension in Chandler's voice, and the panic was absolutely impossible to hide.
Perhaps, he did not expect that after more than a year, someone would still catch him.
"Mr. Chandler, you're not a fool, and you shouldn't take me for a fool." Susannah refused to give an inch, her English with an exotic accent was very clear at this time, "If I don't have proof, I dare to Coming to you? You used a lot of sodium amitone on Jordan to force him to lie against Michael Jackson, do you dare to deny it?"
Dawes found that Susanna was really a talent. She obviously had no evidence, just captured a few words. Of course, Dawes would not rule out the possibility of Susannah finding other evidence at Chandler's house, but at this time, she seemed to be confident. That determined tone almost made Evan unable to fight back. Moreover, Susanna actually chose to break out at a time less than six in the morning. Obviously, the brain was in a state of chaos at this time, which increased the chance of being caught off guard and causing panic.
"Mr. Chandler, I'll give you a day to think." Susannah just accepted it without further persecution, and then Dawes heard the footsteps of Susannah leaving, and there was another pause, and the voice sounded again, " By the way, Mr. Will. Lynch called on Wednesday and said he was looking for you in a hurry."
Dawes frowned, apparently not impressed by the name Will Lynch. Dawes was silent, he was thinking about how to take Susannah's words, "Will Lynch" is obviously a hidden clue that Susannah found at Chandler's house as a maid, and it is very important, so how should he go? What about seeking the truth?
However, Dawes soon learned the answer two days later. Will was the name of the pharmacist at Chandler's former Los Angeles dental clinic, but the Michael Jackson case was still in the process of reviewing, and he resigned, and never again did not appear. This was originally a small person, and it didn't seem to have any connection with the case, so naturally it didn't attract the attention of everyone, including Dawes. But now it seems that the pharmacist, sodium anmital, resignation time... the clues seem to be connected at once.
Just when Dawes was having a headache, how should Susannah say what to say, there was a sudden loud noise in the earphone, which made Dawes immediately grin and almost wanted to take off the earphone, but then the sharp sound made Dawes stop. The movement of his right hand, "Evan Chandler! Is what she said true! Did you really do such a disgusting thing!"
"Joan, don't bother me, don't bother me!" Evan obviously lost control of his emotions, and said irritably, the sound of his heavy footsteps pacing back and forth could be clearly heard in the headphones.
June - Chandler (June. Chandler), this is Evan's wife, Jordan's mother.
"God, goddamn Jesus Christ, did you really give Jordan sodium Ammital just to make him lie against Michael?" Joan's surprised voice showed that she didn't know the facts at all.
"Shut up!" Evan yelled angrily, "Don't try to accuse me! Look at the Valentino in you, everything I do is for our family! Aren't you enjoying all this now? Your clothes, your shoes, your perfume, this house...all of it!"
Joan was silent, Dawes could guess, Joan was shocked at this time.
For several minutes, Dawes could hear only the clutter of footsteps in his earphones, nothing else, his blood was boiling, he could feel that he had touched the truth, and so could he He felt the chain reaction that this news would trigger once it was announced, but this excitement did not make him restless, but made him more focused, focusing on the next Chandler family's reaction.
"Jordan, you, why are you up? Sweetheart, today is Saturday, you can sleep a little longer." Joan's voice rang again, her voice was trembling slightly, and she could feel her trying to force herself Calm down, but with little success.
"Dad...Did you really give me sodium Amitor? Really?" Jordan's voice was hoarse and shrill in the process of changing his voice - he should be fifteen years old this year, and his voice was still there. Trembling slightly, showing the violent fluctuations of his emotions, "Didn't you say, as long as I lie? Didn't I cooperate with you in lying? I said everything you asked me to say, why, why do you still give I take sodium amitone?"
Dawes almost breathed a sigh of relief. This fact is really interesting. Does it mean that the Chandler father and son teamed up to create this shocking scam, and Mrs. Chandler knew nothing about it. This family of three is really... Dawes suddenly realized that his persistence in the past five months had finally paid off, finally!
"Shut up! You useless bastard! If I hadn't forced you to lie, you'd be willing to accuse that disgusting. pedophile man? You even want to be his child and forget about my father Still suffering at home! Would you be willing to cooperate with me if I didn’t give you sodium amitone? If I hadn’t made so many plans, we are still being discriminated against near the poor street, look at this house, look at Look at this furniture, look at this garden... all of this is what we have dreamed of, and now I finally won it, and you all enjoy it, and you still come to question me!"
The sound of ping and pong began to sound, and it seemed that Evan was completely enraged and had already started smashing furniture.
