Chapter 1884: Chapter 1884 Surprises
The huge conspiracy gradually revealed the tip of the iceberg. Pierce's call service was only on the surface. In fact, he had been secretly photographing these celebrities. visit a prostitute. photos of customers, and then engage in extortion. The congressman who showed up at Lynn's house, who was secretly photographed with unsightly photos of him and Lynn, had to change his firm position obediently and agreed to support the construction of a road-directly to the real estate development area owned by Pierce.
This time, Prosecutor Lauter became the next target. Lauter is gay. Sid paid Matt Reynolds to have sex with Lauter. Then Sid secretly took photos to expose the scandal. Can avenge Jack for being threatened last Christmas Eve.
Matt obviously doesn't remember Jack, and he inadvertently mentioned the "French Dynasty" with Jack, which made Jack understand some of the stories behind this organization, and he became suspicious. Jack asked Sid about Pierce, but Sid told Jack from the perspective of a professional reporter that he had nothing to break about Pierce. This is a low-key rich man through and through.
Jack, who has just experienced a downturn in his career, feels the intricacies of this industry like never before. He ruined Matt's career for his own career, but Matt still naively hopes that his career can improve. He even cooperated with Sid as a last resort, and gave Matt an illusory hope, allowing Matt to nod successfully to hook up with Laut.
Looking at the fifty dollars Sid gave him--grab. Jack felt very heavy about cheating on Matt and Laut's service fees, and hesitated again and again. Jack decided to try to make some efforts. He rushed to the agreed place and tried to persuade Matt not to do it. But Jack was a step too late. There was only Matt's body in the room, which made Jack have mixed feelings. Not just because of Matt's death, but because something inside him was broken.
Meanwhile, the man in the Night Owl Cafe case was raped. The rapist regained consciousness, and Ed went to the hospital to pick her up, but unexpectedly learned that the woman had lied, and the suspects at that time actually had alibi. This also means that maybe those black people were just trying to "defeat Louis". The real culprit of the night owl tragedy is someone else.
All-pervasive reporters rushed to the hospital to take pictures of Ed and the woman, but this time, Ed couldn't enjoy the heat of the spotlight. He just stood there in shock, his eyes hard to hide the panicked expression.
The amount of information is too huge, and all the clues seem to be coming together silently. Numerous information surges in, forcing Nicholas to concentrate, but he doesn't feel tired at all. The whole story moves very fast. On the contrary, he just feels The excitement and excitement in the body are flowing, as if solving a mathematical problem.
Nicholas couldn't help leaning forward slightly, pinching his nails nervously, paying close attention to every clue, trying to solve all the mysteries before Ed, Jack, and Bud: The Night Owl Murder, "The French Dynasty", Matt Reynolds What is the connection between death?
Bud found a clue! Nicholas was excited, even more excited than Bud.
Bud checked the photos of the night owl coffee shop in the database, but found that there were bloodstains on the walls—except for the cashier, everyone was found in the bathroom. Dans blood, the murderer had a physical conflict with Dans before shooting, and none of the other dead had any signs of confrontation.
Immediately, Bud discovered that there were two coffee cups on Stance's table, and when he confirmed that the woman sitting across from Stance was Susan, he immediately realized a clue. Bud hurried to Susan's house to investigate. Susan's mother recognized Stance as Susan's boyfriend from the photo and told him that Stance had had a fierce quarrel with another man at home.
According to Susan's mother's testimony, Bud discovered a pungent smell coming from under the floor, and then in the cellar, Bud found Buzz's body—it was Buzz who had a dispute with Stans that day, and On the night of Christmas Eve, Stance showed that he was not familiar with Buzz and Susan at all.
"Oh!" Nicholas couldn't help but let out an excited low cry. Not only him, but many audience members at the scene exclaimed. Obviously, they realized that countless clues were being connected by an invisible dark thread, which was close to the truth. The pleasure makes every audience excited.
Bud then got a clue from Mitch Cohan's former bodyguard, John Stern Barnardo, that Buzz once had the sea in his hands. lo. Because he wanted to find a buyer, Bud speculated that the deaths of Stans and Buzz might be related to Hai. lo. Because related.
Ed was skeptical about the murder of the night owl. He got clues from the conversation with the forensic doctor, and then followed Bud's clues to Susan's house and found the body in the cellar. Ed transported the body back to the police station, and began to pay attention to Bud's whereabouts. He didn't have any companions in the homicide team. He could only trust Jack, so he asked Jack for help. But at this time, Jack, who was upset because of Matt, obviously had no mood to deal with Ed.
Ed told Jack that his father was killed by an unknown gangster, and that man is still at large. In order to remember him forever, he made up a name "Roro Tomasi", which is how he became a policeman. The driving force behind the investigation. It's just a pity that he didn't know when this dream had been lost.
Ed's words resonated with Jack, and he couldn't even answer Ed's question, "Why did you become a policeman?" It became quiet, and everyone deeply felt the helplessness hidden behind the darkness. All blood, justice, and dreams were squeezed by reality and turned into spotlights, banknotes, and promotions.
So Jack nodded and agreed to help. In exchange, he hoped that Ed could find out the cause of Matt's death and the murderer. Two people who seemed the least likely to work together came together!
Jack followed Bud secretly in the car. He first discovered the conversation between Bud and John, and then found that Bud entered Lynn's house. At this time, Ed also arrived. They witnessed Bud and Lin En lingering in the house. In such a lingering scene, the two of them didn't look like they were acting on the occasion, but they really fell in love. Watching this scene, Ed's face was stiff and thoughtful.
But Jack found out that his case and Ed's case were both connected to the "Dynasty of France", and Pierce, they found Pierce, but found nothing - Pierce denied his connection with the "Dynasty of France" . So Ed asked Jack to see the autopsy results, and he went to Lynn's house to find out about Bud's situation and see if there was any deal between Bud and Pierce.
After Jack and Ed left, Pierce made a call, and on the other end of the phone was Sid, the editor-in-chief of "Shush" magazine.
"Oh!" The whole audience exclaimed, Nicholas was about to jump into a rage, all the clues were connected, and the huge network of people behind the "French Dynasty" was clearly revealed, but... What is the connection between the "French Dynasty" and the night owl tragedy? Nicholas could hardly restrain his excitement, and stared at the big screen intently.
Lynn challenged Ed's bottom line step by step, and infinite sparks burst out between the two, tense and full of temptation. The confusion almost made every audience in the movie theater dry, not to mention Ed, his reason gradually lost control, and finally had a relationship with Lynn. But all this was photographed by Sid hiding in the house.
Jack gets the autopsy results and it turns out that the deceased was Buzz. Then Jack looked through the old files and found that Buzz and Stance were a pair of partners. Twelve years ago, they arrested many people and questioned Pierce for using the "Shhh" magazine Sid to secretly film celebrities whoring. It was Dudley who was in charge of extorting pictures of prostitutes. The charges were later dropped in these cases for lack of evidence.
The wily Jack immediately thinks of Buzz, Stace, Pierce, Sid and others. Prostitution, poison. He decided to go to Dudley himself to find out about the situation before Ed came back. But when Dudley learned that Jack didn't tell others, he turned around and shot Jack directly. Only then did Jack understand: Dudley is also one of the criminals who are at large!
Dudley asked him if he had any last words, and Jack struggled with the last of his strength to say a name, "Roro Tomasi".
Dead silence, the whole movie theater was dead silent, no one exclaimed or yelled at this time, when they saw Dudley draw out his gun and shoot Jack, everyone held their breath. Who would have expected that the amiable Dudley was behind the scenes, but the cynical Jack died for justice, and the hypocritical and rigid Ed became the only hope. All of this happened too suddenly, and Jack's death brought an incomparable shock, causing everyone to stop breathing. Until Jack showed a smile on the screen before he died, all the hairs on his back stood up, and the soul began to breathe. He trembled slightly.
Unknowingly, silently, it came surging.
Ed was surprised to hear that Jack had been shot dead in the middle of the night and was dumped in the corpse park. His intuition thought that this must be related to yesterday's autopsy report. When Dudley asked Ed about the situation of one of Jack's friends "Roro Tomasi", Ed suddenly realized: the person in front of him is the murderer!
Nicholas couldn't help shivering, one after another, looking at Ed's panicked pupils who couldn't help dilated slightly, but facing Dudley, he had to work hard to suppress the turmoil and anger in his heart, keep Said calmly, "No, I don't know." The trembling from the depths of his soul was like a tide, making Nicholas tremble all over.
Such a powerful force comes not only from the performance, but also from the story, and more from the delicate truth.
