Chapter 12 Hollywood Babes
During Sarah's investigation, she finally discovered a series of surprising things.
Three people died in this cafe, three of them jumped into the lake, and they all died in Bettel Lake, which is the lake where Eddie said he was dragged away by a strange fish.
Why did the other one die by jumping off a building?
What's the difference here?
This is something Sarah doesn't understand, but to the owner of the cafe, Firestone. Gracie's summons could not solve any problems, because these people all committed suicide, and the forensic doctor made the most authoritative conclusion.
"Since they are all suicides, why do we bother!" Ren was the first to express his question, which was actually also the question of other members of the investigation team.
But everyone feels a little weird, and if it's a coincidence, then this coincidence is really impressive, and I have to wonder if there is something ulterior in it.
This is how the police think.
"I don't think so, there must be some reason for this!"
Sarah called Zhen Fan and asked Ryan to continue investigating the crowd around the four victims, but she drove to Temecula.
Zhen Fan's banquet was undoubtedly a success. When Anne and Thomas said goodbye, their stomachs were puffed out, and they swayed from side to side when they walked. Even Claire wiped her round belly and hiccupped. Zhen Fan hugged her with both hands His neck refused to send.
"Mom, can uncle come to my house?"
Zhen Fan hugged Claire and sent the family out. Claire whispered and pleaded, watching Sarah speak pitifully.
"No, but you can come here to play tomorrow!"
Annie felt that she was disturbing Zhen Fan too much, she was a little embarrassed, and hugged Claire from Zhen Fan.
"I want my uncle to sleep with me and tell me stories!"
Claire still looked at Zhen Fan, with tears flickering in her round eyes.
"That's not okay. Uncle still has a lot of things to do. How can Claire have the heart to disturb Uncle? This will make Uncle sleep badly!"
Thomas also chimed in.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow!" Claire looked at Zhen Fan aggrieved, hoping to get a positive answer from him!
"Tomorrow? No problem, my little angel Claire is welcome tomorrow!"
Zhen Fan smiled, pinched Claire's cheeks, and the family left and went back. Claire lay behind Annie and waved at Zhen Fan continuously until they entered the house.
Zhen Fan returned to the room, tidied up the house, tidied up for a while, leaned on the sofa, made a cup of tea, and turned on the TV. In fact, American entertainment programs are doing well, especially the local TV stations in Los Angeles. Talk shows usually have High ratings.
"Today we invite our Hollywood baby—Christine James Stewart." A middle-aged fat woman with an exaggerated expression invited her as a guest. The appearance of this woman surprised Zhen Fan.
That's right, this is the Christine he met while running, who unexpectedly became a big star. Then the host began to introduce Christine's glorious deeds. Special mention was made of her performance in the latest film "The Twilight Saga - New Moon" and the success of the film.
"It's hard to believe you're so young,
But I have achieved such a great success. If I said I am not jealous of you, I would be lying. Of course, if I were a man, I would pursue you crazily. "
The host of the middle-aged woman spoke a bit funny, this is the so-called American-style talk show, not funny at all, but the invited audience laughed at the right time.
"Would you love a werewolf or a vampire?"
The middle-aged woman finally threw a gimmick.
"Of course I said that if werewolves and vampires appeared in this world crazy, would you choose one of the two?" This is also a trap. Of course, raising this question made people feel a little strange, but most of them thought it was the host's joke.
"I'll fall in love with a fellow!"
Kristen's answer is ingenious.
"If the world is really that crazy, we won't need special effects for "Twilight" in the future. It's a waste of the director's money. We can cut expenses so that the director won't complain to the producer!"
Kristen's words made many people laugh.
The host obviously didn't continue the chat on this strange topic, and what the two of them said, Zhen Fan didn't pay attention to it, he just looked at this magnanimous girl talking on the screen , I feel that she has a different maturity than her age.
"Tell me about your recent plans. I heard that you have been called by director Rupert Sams to star in his movie "Snow White and the Huntsman". This is your first starring role. I heard it is a big investment. , obviously, this will have a huge boost to your career!"
"I will see each time as a new beginning!"
There was a light of wisdom in Christine's eyes, and he was entangled with this difficult host. Zhen Fan watched it with relish, and felt that it was not enough. He poured himself a glass of wine, and then squinted his eyes comfortably. Buy the CDs of the movies I starred in and have a look!
snow White? I don't know what it will be like for this beauty to play Snow White, Zhen Fan is still looking forward to it.
The "dong dong dong" knock on the door interrupted Zhen Fan's delusion, he opened the door with some displeasure, Sarah stood at the door alone, her car was parked outside.
It was completely dark outside, but with the street lamps shining on it, the surrounding area still looked a little bright.
"Are you planning to stay? I'm really sorry, our room is full, let's find a place elsewhere, well, there is a neighbor on my left, there may be no one, the hostess was unfortunately killed, and the host was also imprisoned , just enough to make you spend a charming night!"
"Come on, don't do this in front of me!"
Sarah directly ignored Zhen Fan's hippie smiling face, pushed his hand away and walked in, sat on the sofa by herself, saw a full glass of wine on the coffee table, grabbed it and took a sip.
"The taste is not very good, is it the kind of low-end product in the supermarket?"
"To be honest, the place where you drank just now happened to be the place where I drank!"
Zhen Fan sat down next to her.
"So what?"
Sarah smiled and blinked her eyes. It was obvious that this provocative gesture was very unfamiliar, and even a rookie like Zhen Fan was not moved.
"What do you think about suicide?"
Sarah didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Zhen Fan about the investigation these days.
"Since it's suicide, why do you bother?"
Zhen Fan stared at Christine on the screen, but it was a pity that the show had already come to an end, Christine was off, and then there was a commercial!
"Don't you think it's weird?"
"So what?"
Zhen Fan responded to herself with Sarah's words.
"Your my advisor, of course I want to listen to your opinion. If it's a coincidence, why did the girl you sent the flowers choose to jump off the building, while the others chose to jump into the lake?"
This is also what Sarah doesn't understand the most.
"Perhaps the opinions on suicide are relatively unified. Of course, the influence of the former on the latter cannot be ruled out!"
Zhen Fan's opinion is in vain, this point has been ruled out by Sarah. Because there is no intersection between these four people at all, they are all strangers.
"I'm just a consultant, I said my opinion, but you don't believe me, then I have done my duty as a consultant, now it's my rest time, if you want to stay, one hundred dollars!"
Zhen Fan stretched out his hand.
"Zhen, I just want to solve this mystery!" Sarah knew that she wanted something from others, so she seemed very low-key. Of course, Zhen Fan's performance made her a little disappointed.
Seeing Sarah like this, Zhen Fan couldn't help shaking his head.
"Do you believe in God?"
Zhen Fan had a serious expression on his face and asked her questions very seriously.
"What does this have to do with secretly?"
Sarah hesitated and looked at Zhen Fan.
"Don't worry about it so much, just say whether you believe it or not?"
"God is in everyone's heart!"
Sarah thought her answer was ingenious. She did not blaspheme God, but also expressed her own doubts and denials.
"Do you believe that man has a soul?"
Zhen Fan's serious look made Sarah a little helpless.
"Stop playing around with me, Zhen, you just won't help me by saying that?"
"You answer this question first, it has something to do with me helping you!"
Sarah couldn't help laughing.
"You want to say that you are a psychic again? Don't say that, please? Please, can you discuss the case with me more seriously? Zhen, I really need your help!"
Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "If you don't believe me, what else can I tell you?"
"Well, since this is the case, then I believe it!"
Sarah had no choice but to make a compromise.
"If you are not sincere, forget it. If you don't believe it, it's useless to say it! You can sleep in the attic, there is a guest room there, or you can drive back by yourself. Of course, if you go back, I'm sure you will have a circle on your forehead tomorrow." , and be an Indian for a while. But that's all right!"
"Fuck you Indian!"
Sarah became a little annoyed. Her purpose of coming here was not fulfilled, and she was unwilling to go back like this. She sat on the sofa and refused to move, glaring at Zhen Fan.
Zhen Fan stood up and smiled.
"Of course, if you don't leave, I'll take it as if you stayed. In fact, I haven't lived in the same room with a woman for a long time. Also, the door of my bathroom is broken and can't be closed."
"Good idea, I'm leaving, I'll call you tomorrow!"
Sarah snorted, stood up dissatisfied, and walked outside.
"Be careful when driving, and the speed should not exceed sixty miles."
Sarah curled her lips in disdain, went out of the room, got into the car, closed the door, and started the ignition.
"No more than sixty miles, you think I'm an idiot!" She decided to go to the lake to have a look tomorrow.
