The 551st Mother's Bombshell
On the country roads outside Boston, a faint white mist shrouds here for a long time.
Yu Jing drove her battered pickup truck slowly from Boston to the small town of Nahante.
As she drove, she unconsciously showed a look full of confusion, remorse, unwillingness, anger and madness in her eyes.
It was a few months of looking at her eyes that often appeared.
She is like a lioness with a dead cub at this moment, with a deep hatred for the whole world, even for herself.
Just then, she noticed three huge billboards standing on the side of the road outside the car window. I couldn't help but feel moved, so I drove the pickup truck back to the billboard and slowly stopped.
It was three dilapidated billboards with various mountain and lake advertisements, showing the fact that they had not been noticed for a long time.
Yu Jing unconsciously poked her mouth with her finger.
She carefully memorized the words "Nahant Town Advertising Company" written in white paint under the billboard.
After thinking about it for a while, he restarted his pickup truck and made his way down the road back to the town.
……
At the door of the only advertising company in Nahante Town, Yu Jing carefully looked at the billboard of the company hanging in foreign trade, confirmed that she was not looking for the wrong place, and pushed the door directly.
It is a very small company located on the second floor of a small two-story building.
At this time, there were only two people in the company's office area, a man and a woman.
The man is sitting in his office, holding a book, as if he is studying things, but in fact, he is secretly "admiring" the sexy and upright ass of the female secretary of the company who is cleaning up the bookshelf.
Suddenly, a tall and thin figure blocked his view, and asked in a hoarse voice that did not look like a man, but also did not look like a woman, "Are you the owner of Ryder Welby?"
Welby was taken aback, and quickly pretended to be studying the contents of a book seriously, and said with a smile: "I am! This lady, I don't know how I can help you?"
Yu Jing walked to the desk, propped her hands on the desk, looked at Welby from top to bottom, and asked solemnly, "I heard that there are three billboards on the side of the road out of town that you are responsible for renting, right?"
Welby smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know we still had billboards there." Where is the location?"
Yu Jing immediately replied: "The old man's road from the town to Boston." With the highway, no one takes that road. ”
Welby took out a registration booklet for one of the company's billboards and flipped through it for a while before he sighed, "Tsk! You're right, I forgot there were three billboards there." Since 1986, no one has advertised there anymore. ”
Yu Jing said with an indifferent expression: "How much does it cost to rent these three billboards for a year?"
Welby was surprised: "For a year? You want to rent three billboards that no one passes by, unless somebody gets lost, or an idiot is going to pass by, and are you sure you're going to rent those billboards for a whole year?"
Yu Jing slapped the table hard and asked, "Don't talk so much nonsense, you just say if you can rent it to me, right?"
Welby smiled and nodded, and replied: Of course, anyone can rent, as long as they pay. For the sake of those billboards that have been abandoned for a long time, I'll give you a good price. So, what are you going to advertise on your billboard?
Yu Jing sneered and asked, "What is written on the billboard, is there a provision in the law?" I don't think you can write words that slander others, and you can't write words like "", "day", and "", right?"
Welby shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Well, in fact, '**' can't be written." ”
A trace of stubbornness flashed on Yu Jing's face, and she nodded: "Okay, then I don't have any problem." ”
With that, she walked around her desk and pulled out a wad of dollars and placed it in front of Welby.
"I'll give you five thousand first, as the first month's rent, I think it should be enough, right?" After Yu Jing finished speaking, she took out three more pieces of paper, handed them to Welby, and said, "Here you go, this is what I want to write on the billboard." You draft the contract now, and we'll sign it right away. I don't want you to rent these three billboards to somebody else. ”
After speaking, Yu Jing walked to the window, and the opposite side was the Nahant Town Police Station.
Welby looked carefully at the contents of the three sheets of paper.
At this time, on the windowsill, another beetle accidentally turned its back to the sky, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't turn over.
Welby suddenly asked, "I guess you're Angela Yu's mother." ”
Yu Jing turned around and looked at him coldly and said, "Yes, I am Angela Yu's mother." ”
After speaking, she helped the beetle on the windowsill turn over, looked at the police station opposite, and asked coldly, "I am the poor Yu Jing." How long will it take for you to put up the new 'advertisements' on those three billboards?"
Welby flipped through the calendar on the table and said carefully, "It should be in ...... Put up a new ad on Easter, right?"
Yu Jing turned to look at Welby and sneered, "That's great!"
……
Three days later, the sun had just set.
On Husband Road from Nehant to Boston, Dixon, a small-town police officer, is patrolling in a police car while humming an old song over the radio.
The road is rarely crossed, so the town's police patrol it only once a week.
At this time, on this dark highway, only Dixon's police car was moving. His gong-like singing pierced the night sky and was heard far, far away.
Just as the police car drove up to three dilapidated billboards, Dixon suddenly saw a worker painting a billboard on the side of the road outside the car.
Seeing the words on the sign, Dixon's face immediately became very ugly.
Although it was night, all the spotlights on the billboard were turned on, and there were black letters on a red background on them, which were very eye-catching, and the words "Why is Sheriff Peng Yichen still ......" were written very eye-catchingly.
Obviously, there are still a few words left unwritten.
Dixon stopped the police car, slammed the door, and walked angrily towards the workers.
He scolded a few people from afar: "What are you guys writing here?"
It's a pity that these workers couldn't understand what he was saying, and innocently said in Spanish: "What you say, I don't understand!"
Dixon angrily pointed to the billboard and asked, "I'm asking you, what's on it?"
The foreign worker was ignorant and learned in English: "What is it?"
Dixon nodded, "yes, what's it?"
The foreign worker shook his head and said confusedly: "I don't understand!"
Dixon was so angry that he almost pulled out his gun, he paused word by word, and said angrily: "Listen, from now on, you'd better answer all questions." Put that brush in your hand down for me first. ”
The foreign worker understood his gesture, put his brush down, and pointed not far away.
Dixon looked in the direction the workers were pointing, and the second billboard was also being painted by several workers.
Dixon immediately returned to the police car and drove to the second billboard.
On this billboard, a few large characters are written in black letters on a red background:
"No arrest of the killer?"
Dixon got out of the car and couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is this TM?"
Then he turned to Jerome, one of the workers who lived in the town, and asked, "Hey, you, tell me what this TM thing is?"
Jerome glanced at him, didn't pay much attention, and asked, "What the hell is it?"
Dixon was so angry that he kept his hand on the billboard: "I mean this!
Jerome turned to look, shrugged, and playfully said, "I guess it's an advertisement." ”
Dixon went on to ask, "What kind of ad is this kind of content?!"
Jerome smiled and replied, "Of course it's an advertisement for something to be ashamed of!, am I right, Mr. Police!?"
Dixon felt a little weak in his heart, and replied forcefully: "Yes, what, right?"
Jerome smiled, didn't speak, spat in the direction of the police car, and went back to work.
Enraged by his actions, Dixon exclaimed, "I warn you, I can arrest you right now." ”
Jerome laughed, "On what ground?"
Dixon squeaked for a long time before he said, "Just ...... It's against the law that you drip paint on the grass...... Serious violation of environmental protection law!"
Jerome sneered, "Before you arrest me, Officer Dixon, you should go and take a good look at the last billboard in front of you, and then talk to me about TM's environmental protection laws." ”
After saying that, he ignored Dixon at all, turned around and walked away.
Dixon looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a billboard, all of which had been painted.
The spotlight at the bottom of the billboard illuminates the black sign on a red background very conspicuously, and it can be clearly seen at night from a long distance.
Dixon puffed up the police car again and headed for the first billboard.
When he stopped in front of the billboard and glanced at the above sentence, he couldn't help but say to himself, "it! Whose idea is this!?"
……
At this time, Sheriff Peng Yichen's family of four was sitting together for dinner.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang, and Peng Yichen just picked up the phone.
Peng Yichen's wife advised: "Don't take it! Today is Easter!"
Peng Yichen hesitated for a moment, but finally connected the phone.
Peng Yichen whispered to the other side: "Dixon, you bastard, I'm eating Easter dinner." ”
After saying that, he looked carefully at the two children on the table and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, children. Daddy just made a slip of the tongue!"
Dixon said aggrievedly, "I know what day it is, sheriff! I'm sorry to call you and bother you! But I think we're in big trouble this time." ”
At this time, on the first billboard in front of Dixon, there were several extremely huge words written in white letters on a red background:
"Let innocent girls be raped and killed!"
The words on the three billboards are connected together to form a "bombshell".
"Why hasn't Sheriff Peng Yichen arrested the murderer yet? Let the innocent girl be raped and killed!"
