Chapter 852 Paparazzi - Miles (Happy Chinese New Year)
Like Los Angeles, the urban areas of many so-called big cities in the United States are not as prosperous and luxurious as imagined. There are many ordinary people and poor people who often live in cheap apartments.
The urban subway and bus facilities are dirty and old, like living in the old society, but this is the means of transportation that ordinary people rely on for survival.
Rich people live in single-family villas with front and rear gardens in the suburbs, and drive their own cars to and from get off work. Few people take public transportation. The law and order in the city is much worse than that in the suburbs, and the crime rate soars rapidly at night.
And many people who live in the suburbs and in high-end communities don’t need to lock their doors if they don’t go out for a long time. This is unimaginable in the city. Of course, this is a very rare example. Such things as not closing the door at night and not picking up things are common in the world. , and only a few small towns away from the hustle and bustle can do it. In the United States, at most, people forget to lock their doors.
The poor have no choice but to live in the city. The rent here is often much cheaper than in the suburbs. The big houses in the suburbs are simply not affordable with their hourly wages, let alone a decent car.
This situation is completely opposite to that of country Z and even many Asian cities, but the early United States is actually the same as the current country Z. The rich lived in the city center, and the poor lived in valleys and remote places. Up to now, there are many children from ranches in Texas. I was ridiculed by my classmates in the city as a countryman or a farmer. Later, with the advancement of urbanization, many people transformed their houses into apartment-style ones. Many people live in one house. Do not choose to withdraw from the urban area.
With the increase of low-income people in the city, people with financial ability are unwilling to squeeze together with these people. In addition, the scenery in the suburbs is more beautiful, and the people are less quiet. There are more and more people, gradually forming a situation where the poor live in the city and the rich live in the suburbs.
Obviously, the quality of life of that paparazzi is not high. The people living here are trying their best to make money and go to the suburbs to enjoy the high-quality life of the middle class, and that paparazzi is no exception.
In an unremarkable old van on the side of the road, Yang Cheng met Hansen and several of his team members.
This is a modified van, with the seats removed, surveillance equipment installed, and a small arsenal. The team members are all sitting on the floor, and the floor is covered with carpets, which is quite comfortable.
After everyone greeted Yang Cheng in surprise, Hansen asked, "Boss, why are you here?"
Yang Cheng looked out through the filmed car window, and there was a steady flow of people rushing to work with their heads down, no one paid any attention to this broken van parked here motionless.
"I'm worried, come and have a look, how about it? What did you find?"
Hansen didn't dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly replied, "I found a big guy in the paparazzi circle. He has a lot of contacts in the circle. It didn't take long to find out that a few paparazzi went to West Hollywood to try their luck that day. Later we After screening them one by one, I found that there was only one person who remained mysterious all the time, rarely communicated with his peers, and often walked alone, so he was rejected by the circle, and many paparazzi scolded him behind his back, saying that he ate alone."
Yang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, "So you suspect that he is the person most likely to take the video?"
"Yes, judging from his performance, this man is cautious in nature, close to the personality described by his peers, and among the suspects we delineated, several other suspects have alibi, so this mysterious paparazzi naturally becomes our first priority. Object of suspicion," Hansen explained.
Yang Cheng affirmed Hansen's analysis, "Well done, then, what else did you find out about this person?"
Hansen smacked his forehead, "By the way, his name is Miles. He was born in New Jersey. He is of mixed Mexican and black race. I haven't found out when he joined the industry, but he became famous because he took a photo of Taylor Swift in Photos of balcony changing clothes sold to Daily Mail for $10,000.
It was also because of this incident that his name spread among his peers. "
Yang Cheng glanced at Hansen in surprise, "All the photos?"
Hansen shook his head, sideways pulled out a newspaper from the back of the front seat, which was half of a certain issue of "Daily Mail", a blurred color photo occupied half of the page, and the photo was the young Taylor Swift, The scene of changing clothes on the balcony of my villa is a pity that I didn't take the light, otherwise I would definitely sell an extra zero.
"It seems that this kid still has some strength." Yang Cheng put down the newspaper and sighed.
You must know that most paparazzi may follow for a year and may not be able to take exclusive photos of superstars. This kid has achieved such a proud record when he is just a fledgling, no wonder he likes to be a lone ranger, there is no need to share the fruits with others.
"According to our investigation, Miles moved from New York to Los Angeles three years ago, and has been renting a small house above since then." Hansen pointed to a family on the second floor of the Turkish pizzeria through the window. .
Yang Cheng also poked his head to look around, why didn't he see it, and looked back, "He hasn't gone out today?"
"I don't know yet. We also just arrived more than an hour ago. When we arrived, the doors and windows of this room were closed and the curtains were drawn. We didn't know if there was anyone inside. We didn't want to disturb him, so we could only wait quietly. , as long as he goes out, he will never escape our grasp." Hansen patted his chest confidently.
Yang Cheng nodded. After all, they are not law enforcement officers. It's not impossible to break into people's homes, but they can't do it during the day when there are many people, so he understands Hansen's approach, but he doesn't want to wait, "So, Go to a person and pretend to be a salesman of an insurance company to see if he is in the house, if not, we go in and search, the best evidence can be found."
After thinking about it carefully, Hansen felt that this method was feasible. He was about to speak when Andrew, who couldn't bear the loneliness, volunteered, "I'll go, I'll go~"
Yang Cheng grabbed him angrily, "You can't, with your muscles, you look like you're going to kill someone with a smile, a fool can feel something's wrong, no matter how much you pretend, it's useless."
His ridicule amused the other team members in the car, and Hansen patted Andrew on the back of the head, signaling him not to make trouble.
Yang Cheng glanced around in the car, and motioned to the buddy sitting in the driver's seat, "How is he? Is he good at disguising?"
This buddy wears glasses, and he is still very confusing at first glance, and he is about the same size as an ordinary person. He should not be able to see the flaws in a suit, but to be cautious, he still seeks Hansen's opinion. He knows best.
