Chapter 752: Reasonable
"Mr. Horner, how do you feel about the events that took place during the day today?"
"May I ask why those three people attacked you?"
"How did you do it by killing three gunmen in one person?"
In the middle of the night, in front of the Los Angeles County Police Department, Matthew, accompanied by Helen Herman and lawyer Wilson, had just come out of the police station when he was surrounded by an overwhelming number of media reporters.
At the entrance of the entire police station, there is a lot of black pressure, and there are many reporters who can't see the end at a glance.
All sorts of questions buzzed around him like flies.
"Did the military training you received during the filming of the movie save you today?"
"Got the news that those three were drug dealers in Tijuana, Mexico?"
Matthew didn't answer a single question, and four bodyguards and a team of police cut off the crowd of hundreds of journalists, carved a way for him and put him in a car.
Attorney Wilson got into the passenger seat, and Helen Herman waited for Matthew to get into the car and sat next to him.
Closing the car door and isolating from the outside world, Helen Herman glanced at Matthew a little worriedly, but still asked in a very flat tone, "Do you want to see a psychiatrist?"
When the police arrived at the scene, she calmed down and became a calm and indifferent agent again.
Matthew shook his head slowly, "No. He then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I was a little uncomfortable after shooting, and now it's much better." ”
It didn't take long for him to recover, because the people who had been shot were damned people.
It's not because they deserve to die because they sell drugs or engage in other criminal activities, there are countless criminals in this world, and he can't control it so widely.
They deserve to die because they want to kill him!
Anyone who wants his life deserves to die!
With this understanding, Matthew easily passed the psychological level, and he was originally the kind of person with better psychological quality.
Helen Herman's cell phone rang at this point, and she answered it for a few minutes, then hung up and said to Matthew, "Bella Anderson is calling from the hospital. ”
Hearing this, Matthew immediately asked, "John, how are they?"
If it weren't for John's desperate drag of the two bandits, I'm afraid the outcome is hard to say.
"John lost a lot of blood, but fortunately the bullet didn't hurt the vital point, and now he has undergone surgery and is estimated to recover in about half a year. Helen Herman's tone was still flat, "The driver is not a big problem, there is a slight concussion, and it will recover in about a week." ”
"That's good. Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to be alive." ”
After a moment's deliberation, he added, "Find the best doctor, the best medical conditions, and their families for the two of them." It's not easy for me to come forward for the time being, you can appease me, and if you have any expenses, go directly to Bella and go from the studio's account. ”
"I know. Helen Herman nodded slightly, glanced at Matthew, and saw that he was indeed no different from usual, and then said, "And the situation of those three bandits." ”
Matthew waved his hand slightly, "I'm fine, just say it." ”
Helen Herman said as simply as possible, "Those three people have been saved, and there will be no danger to their lives for the time being." ”
"Bald isn't dead?" Matthew asked.
"Hmm. Helen Herman answered.
Matthew thought for a moment and said to the driver's seat, "Lawyer Wilson, you will have to handle the follow-up legal matters." ”
"Willing to help. Wilson's lawyer said directly, "There may be several routine police and FBI interviews later, there are eyewitnesses at the scene, and there are video materials, and now that those three people are not dead, you won't have trouble defending yourself." ”
Helen Herman answered coldly, "There are a large number of reporters at the scene, and public opinion is completely on Matthew's side, if anyone wants to use the defense to make a fuss, I will mobilize public opinion to completely drown them." ”
Matthew has never worried about himself, and now the Los Angeles police and the FBI have confirmed that the bald gang is a drug dealer from Tijuana, Mexico, and the bald people are the main members of the authentic drug dealers who escaped from Tijuana, and the shooting is obviously revenge.
The FBI pig said the two men had fled to Colombia and were showing up on the streets of Burbank to talk to the FBI.
There is no doubt that there is a serious problem with the work of the Los Angeles Police Department and the FBI, and as long as he pursues it, someone must be responsible.
Matthew sighed inwardly and found that bureaucracy was similar all over the world.
Helen Herman seemed to guess what Matthew was thinking, saying, "Attorney Wilson, the FBI made it clear to us last year that the danger alert from Tijuana had been lifted. ”
Lawyer Wilson thought for a moment and said, "I'll communicate with the FBI and don't make it public for the time being." ”
Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, but I want a satisfactory explanation." His voice became low, "You keep an eye on this case, and when you enter the litigation stage, you will do everything possible to seek the death penalty!"
He added, "And quickly!"
There is still a death penalty in California, and Matthew knows a little bit about this, the execution of death sentences in California takes an extremely long time, and it is normal to fight lawsuits for several years or even decades, so California is currently the state with the largest number of death row prisoners pending execution in the United States.
Attorney Wilson nodded, "I understand. ”
If it was placed before 911, this matter could be very troublesome, even if it was a death sentence in the end, it would not have to wait many years for the execution, but all the terrorist cases after 911 were extremely sensitive, this case not only involved the shooting of celebrities, but also caused several serious car accidents on Nanbo Great Street.
In addition, the Los Angeles police and the FBI have made serious mistakes, and although the judiciary is independent, some things are always inextricably linked.
As a lawyer, he would not be so stupid as to think that this so-called liberal and democratic judicial independence is really that fair and just.
If nothing else, the influence of public opinion alone cannot be ignored.
What's more, those people were drug dealers and terrorists in Mexico, not Americans yet.
Even this kind of case can't be handled, so he, the lawyer, still finds a place to jump into the sea.
Before entering Beverly Hills, Attorney Wilson got out of the car, Matthew lifted the baffle, and only him and Helen Herman were left behind.
"Isn't that a sensation?" asked Matthew.
Helen Herman calmly replied, "All the news headlines on all TV stations, the front page headlines of all portals, are occupied by the incident of your attack. She thought for a moment and then said, "It is estimated that the front page headlines of major newspapers and magazines will be this incident tomorrow." ”
Matthew said without hesitation, "Add a little fire, and I will seek the best benefit." ”
Helen Herman glanced at Matthew and said, "I believe you're back to normal now." ”
Hearing this, Matthew was speechless for a moment, then reacted and said, "I almost got killed, risking my life to bring down three terrorists. He rolled up his sleeve and shook it at Helen Herman, "Look, my arms are bruised!
"Not excessive. Helen Herman seemed to agree with him completely, "Reasonable." ”
She said directly, ""Fast and Furious 4 is about to be released, and there is also "Special Forces: Cobra Rising" starring you on Independence Day, and I will contact Disney and Paramount, they must like to hype up the news now." ”
Matthew didn't say more, even if he didn't take the initiative to contact this kind of thing, Disney and Paramount would just let go of such a good publicity opportunity.
Back at Horner Manor, Matthew sent Helen Herman away and turned on the computer to take a look.
Sure enough, the news and reports about this incident can only be described as overwhelming on the Internet, and too many media reporters took relevant pictures at that time, and there are as many as twenty or thirty versions of the live video on the turtle alone.
Turn on the TV, but every news channel, there are reports about this matter, such as CNN and the four major public television networks, there are always reporters stationed in the police station, the hospital and Nanbo Dawei Street, obviously to carry out a follow-up report.
By the next day, more media outlets, especially the print media, began to report at length.
After Helen Herman contacted Disney and Paramount, the two companies also got on board, which was very beneficial for the promotion of the films they released.
"Revealed: Matthew Horner Gets Revenge on Mexican Drug Dealers for Helping the Police Crack a Drug Trafficking Case!"
"The real hero of you and me - Matthew Horner!"
"Presenting you with a real Matthew Horner: Matthew Horner is still a hero when he walks out of the big screen!"
"Our Predator Hero – Matthew Horner!"
So many live videos on the Internet, on the TV, all of which made the public understand that Matthew Horner did a very remarkable thing last year and was retaliated against for it, but the terrorists who came to retaliate not only did not succeed, but were also put down by Matthew like chopping melons and vegetables.
The influence of the video is too great, and there is only one focus in the media these days, and that is Matthew.
This also brought Matthew's momentum to a peak.
On social networking sites led by Twitter and Facebook, Matthew's news went straight to the screen.
The direct impact of the incident is the upcoming "Fast and Furious 4", and all major commercial departments in North America have increased the number of theaters showing "Fast and Furious 4", which will be released in North America on a huge scale of more than 4,400 theaters.
At the same time, the theater chain also teamed up with Disney to open the first week of pre-sale of "Fast and Furious 4" in North America in advance, and the pre-sale box office was close to $18 million in just one day.
Fans have left messages on social networking sites, saying that they can't wait to see Matthew's role in the film.
Matthew, on his part, almost maximized the publicity effect that the event could bring.
He then prepared to leave North America for a while, but was strongly opposed by Helen Herman.
