Chapter 34: Angels
It is said that it is a murder because the police only found the deceased male deceased Mika in the house, while his girlfriend Katie, who lived with him, was nowhere to be found. The www.biquge.info said it was bizarre because the police found a lot of broken and strange items in the house, such as a burnt disc plate, a shattered photo frame, and a childhood photo of his half-burned girlfriend Katie.
But the strangest thing was a DV machine that collapsed next to the body of the deceased Mika, and the police also found many, many videotapes in their house, which the police said recorded some important information before and after the murder.
In order to better search for the missing Katie, the police of the Pasadena Suburban Police Department handed over the tapes to the Fire Lion Film Company, and they will edit the tapes and launch a documentary called "Ghost Shadow", hoping that people who can pass by can watch it and provide clues about the murder case to help the police solve the case as soon as possible.
All the information was reported in local newspapers across the United States, and after some time, an official website called "The Ghost Case" appeared on the Internet. According to them, they were a website set up by the Fire Lion company commissioned by the police to provide help in finding clues in this case.
In this "official website", in addition to introducing the history of this "murder" and other public information of normal cases, there are also many historical records and related knowledge about supernatural murders and possessed evil spirits. Even the only "Bell Murder Case" in history that was recognized by a U.S. court.
Of course, there are also video messages on the website, which range from footage found by the police to interviews with the police officers in charge of the case and the families of the missing couple.
Seeing that the experienced police officers were reluctant to talk more, but couldn't help but mention the murder case, their shuddering appearance made people involuntarily curious and expectant about the ferociousness and weirdness of the case.
And seeing the young couple, the mother of the deceased Mika and the friend of the missing girlfriend Katie crying affectionately in front of the camera, few people will have doubts.
Of course, all these policemen and family members are all staff members within the Fire Lion, and even Sid couldn't help but praise their superb acting skills after watching it.
Many of the people hired by the Fire Lion quietly put on the clothes of the search team all over the United States and handed out missing person notices to passers-by. This matter seems to be more and more real, coupled with the promotion on the Internet, this matter has quickly become a hot topic of conversation among people everywhere after tea and dinner within a few months.
Around 1998 was actually a critical time for the development and growth of online news.
In the same year, US President Clinton's zipperdoor incident, which later shocked the world, was first kicked out of the blog, and then the incident quickly spread on the Internet, and then counterattacked the mainstream media, so that these mainstream media, which used to be almost self-conscious speech control machines, followed up on the footsteps of online bloggers.
And "Ghost Shadow" actually took advantage of this unprecedented east wind force.
All the distribution staff of the Fire Lion went to the Internet and began to "spread rumors". Suddenly, a person who was interested in the "Pasadena Paranormal Murder Case" began to linger on various large website forums and hunting BBS, taking the initiative to discuss the matter with others, and even directly sending emails to people, etc., anyway, as long as it can work on the promotion, it is used by the fire lion.
In 1997, when the "folk customs were simple", the development of the online world was still in the ascendant, and not many people would have thought that some people would use it to hype. So many people were drawn in, and more people began to talk about the authenticity of the supernatural case, the condition of the missing couple, and the origin of the strange objects found in their house.
At the beginning, a lot of so-called dialogue and arguments were actually made by the fire lion's own employees, and the double reed of your questions and answers, a hype atmosphere of the matter. But after several months of tireless "spreading rumors" by Fire Lion employees, more and more people finally noticed this incident, and many people began to believe it as true, and even took the initiative to help promote the "Pasadena Paranormal Murder Case".
The number of visits to the official website of Fire Lion's "Ghost Record" has also continued to rise.
The ancients said that three people became tigers, and they didn't deceive me.
Although there are also some people who doubt the truth of the matter and question that it is a boring hoax. But more people are still enthusiastically engaged in the discussion of this "supernatural murder case", some are worried about the situation of the missing Katie, some people are discussing the supernatural origin of those strange symbols that appear in the couple's home, and some people suspect that this is a homicide case directed and acted by the couple's family.
――――――――――――――――――――
As Christmas approaches, even Los Angeles is beginning to be dressed in a festive atmosphere. Red Christmas clothes and green candy canes are hung on the streets, and the school is no exception.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was the end of school at Los Angeles East Side Elementary School. Several little girls chattered out of the school gate, and one of them looked sullen with red hair and green eyes, "Lindsay, why haven't you been sullen since you went back to school? A friend next to him saw it and couldn't help asking.
Lindsay barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "It's nothing, I'm fine." ”
"Nonsense, you've been frowning all this time. Are you being bullied?" said another friend.
"No, it's really fine. Lindsay said with a shake of her hand.
"Is that ......," said one of the girls, blinking slyly, "do you have someone you like?"
"Hu, nonsense. Lindsay's pretty face suddenly turned red.
"Haha, suspicious!" several little girls surrounded Lindsay with bright eyes.
"Hahaha, it's so itchy, there's really nothing wrong with it. Lindsay was tickled and giggled by a couple of little girls.
At that moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared across the street and flashed, "Huh!?is that?", and Lindsay stood up with a spirit.
"What's wrong? Lindsay. The little girls around asked curiously.
The figure disappeared from the crowd again, "Nothing. Lindsay shook her head hesitantly.
"Carly!" "Erin. "Curtis. Several parents were standing at the door greeting the little girls.
"Ah, my mom came to pick me up. "Me too. "See you tomorrow, Girls. ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Seeing her friends being picked up by her family one after another, Lindsay suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in her heart.
"Haha, look at who is the bad boy who has never been picked up by his parents?" Seeing Lindsay standing alone at the school gate, several little boys came over and said with a smile.
"You're the stupid guy who didn't have your parents to pick you up!" Lindsay douled the boys, and before they could react, she ran out of the school.
But what no one saw was the sprinkling of water droplets behind Lindsay.
Just as Lindsey ran through a corner, leaving the little boys behind, she slammed into a man's arms with a "snap".
"Yes, I'm sorry...... "Little Lori apologized with a whimper.
At this time, a voice that had been thinking about it day and night suddenly came from above her head: "I haven't seen her for a few months, and the little cutie has become a crybaby again~~"
"Xi, Brother Sid, ......?" Lindsay's voice trembled and raised his head, and sure enough, it was that familiar face, with black hair and white skin, and blue and black demon eyes.
With a warm smile, Sid pulled her into his arms and took out a tissue to wipe away Lindsay's tears, but she didn't say a word for a while.
"Little cutie, you don't have anything to say to me after seeing each other for so long?" asked Sid with a smile.
Lindsay jumped out of his arms suddenly, "You scoundrel, I don't want to pay attention to you!" and then she turned her head and walked out angrily.
"Hehe, this little girl. Sid looked at Lindsay as she strode out, scratching her hair with a wry smile.
Lindsay's mind calmed down after she rushed out and ran some distance, and it was only when she noticed that Sid hadn't caught up from behind.
"Eh, Brother Sid, I guess I'm angry. Xiao Nizi secretly looked back, but there was no trace of Sid, "Hmph, it's not my fault that he suddenly said goodbye." ”
But then Xiao Nizi still looked back worriedly, "This villain, is it really not worried about me?" Lindsay's eyes were filled with tears again.
"What is this cute and beautiful little sister looking for?" a voice came from behind her again, and before Lindsay could react, she was pulled into Sid's arms domineeringly.
Little Lori finally felt the warmth she hadn't felt for a long time, and this time she finally let go of her tense nerves and hugged Sid tightly.
――――――――――――――――――――
"That's why I left the crew. Sid briefly told Lindsay about what happened after he quit the crew of "Natural Pair".
"In other words, Brother Sid, you are now both a best-selling novelist and the owner of a film company?" Lindsay looked Sid up and down with incredulous eyes.
"Are you still my brother Sid who eats and sleeps all day long, and has no lungs?" Xiao Nizi curiously stretched out her hand and touched Sid's chest up and down.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Sid smiled and held her hand.
"So what now?" asked Lindsay curiously, as the two of them sat at a cold drink shop down the street, and Lindsay was holding a strawberry milkshake and savoring it with relish.
"Well, let me think about it. Sid smiled and stroked his chin, "Why don't you come to my house...... Uh, no, come and be my heroine, how about I make you a director?"
Lindsay's eyes lit up at first, and she was about to happily agree, but then her face changed, "But my mother is already negotiating with Disney, saying that she wants me to make movies specifically at Disney." ”
"Oh. Sid laughed meaningfully, he didn't expect Disney to move so fast, "Natural Pair" has not yet been released, so he can't wait to sign Lindsay.
