Chapter 30: Wait and see
Hearing Xiao Yang say mean things, Judy couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even the female police detective who always had a cold face couldn't help but laugh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Of course, I am well aware of the great contributions made by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in cutting-edge scientific and technological research such as aviation and aerospace, and I have deep respect for it. Just the right amount of applause to avoid making the atmosphere too stiff and causing the audience in front of the TV to think that they are too arrogant and lose confidence, Xiao Yang finally concluded: "Since none of us can prove our arguments, then why not let time verify all this, and repeat, at 4:31 a.m. PST on January 17, don't fall asleep!" ”
"I think after hearing your prophecy, the vast majority of people will be like me who can't sleep, so let's wait and see who wins and loses in this battle between true science and the occult." Anna Meyer retracted the microphone, summed it up, and then handed the conversation back again, and the rest of the TV scene cut to the streets of Los Angeles, where CBS staff conducted random interviews with passers-by to see how citizens were in response to the debate.
The first person to be interviewed was a middle-aged white man with glasses: "I support Shaw because I feel that the temperature on these two days is very hot, not at all like the weather in January, and some areas even set records for the highest temperatures in history, and my gut tells me that there must be something unusual." ”
The second was a black aunt: "I believe that Chinese boy, not just because he seems to be sincere and credible, you know, since this morning, my goldfish has been swimming around, and they keep floating to the surface of the water to spit bubbles, which is very abnormal, I know!" (VO: It's time for you to change the water in the fish tank, Auntie.) )
Next, the young white girl was dismissive of Xiao Yang's words: "Prophet? Please, don't be funny, okay, it seems to me that he is a neurotic who wants to be famous and crazy, because he reminds me of the movie that was released in the 90s, "The Great Los Angeles Earthquake", and I dare to say this to that kid: You should take your medicine, idiot! ”
Seeing this, Xiao Yang laughed out loud, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, took out a folding fruit knife from his pocket, threw it to Anna Meyer who was standing in front of the camera, and pointed to the female police detective who was tied to the chair, "Do me a favor, can you untie her for her?" ”
After regaining her freedom, the surprised female detective looked at Judy with a calm face, and then looked at Xiao Yang, I don't know what he was thinking, she didn't dare to move her position when she sat on the chair, so she heard him smile and say: "You are a good policeman, ma'am, but there is no need to spend time with us here, go home to accompany your family, I believe they are also eagerly looking forward to your safe return, remember to put on your clothes, and of course don't forget to take your weapons." ”
The female detective looked at him in amazement, until he shook his head towards the door again and was sure that he was really going to let himself go, said thank you in a complicated tone, walked to the door and stood again, looked back at Judy and asked, "That...... What about Ms. Foster? ”
Judy smiled and waved her hand, "You also heard his words, I'll be fine, you've done your duty, let's go, don't force him to change his mind." ”
After she got dressed and went out, Xiao Yang turned her head to look at Anna Meyer, "What, aren't you going to leave?" ”
For some reason, seeing his childish face, Anna Meyer actually had a very ridiculous sense of security, as if she decided that this underage boy would not hurt herself and Judy, so she shook her head with certainty and said, "My interview task is not completed yet." ”
"But it's done for me." Xiao Yang shrugged his shoulders at her with regret, "You know, I wasn't going to be interviewed, just like I said to your senior colleague before, but I only had to say a few more words because of the needs of the plot, so from now on, I won't answer any of your questions." ”
Anna Meyer blinked her pretty blue eyes and thought, "Well, you don't mind if I interview Ms. Foster again, because not every intern reporter has the opportunity to do an interview with the double Oscar-winning actress." ”
She is right, even if it turns out that Xiao Yang's prediction is just a hoax in the end, then the experience of going deep into the front line of the kidnapping case and interviewing the parties, especially the internationally renowned movie star, is enough to make her, a young reporter who has not yet obtained a formal employment contract, soar into the sky.
For the sake of her being quite honest, Xiao Yang shook her head without mind, "As long as she doesn't object." ”
The two young ladies chatted with questions and answers about all kinds of interesting stories in the Hollywood entertainment industry, but Xiao Yang turned a deaf ear, just stood in front of the window, observing the movement outside from the gap, as well as the sparse lights of Beverly Hills, silently thinking about their thoughts: After this confrontation, the topic and atmosphere about earthquakes and prophecies have been completely stirred up, presumably few people should be able to sleep tonight, right?
In fact, as he expected and expected, not only in the greater Los Angeles area, but everywhere the TV signal could be reached, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Colombia...... Tens of millions of viewers were watching or talking about the kidnapping, which had gone bad, and the possibility of a powerful earthquake in Los Angeles, including Xiao Zengfu and Liu Lin, who had just publicly announced that they had severed their father-son relationship.
It was not yet 11 o'clock in the evening, when the business in the restaurant was at its best, but neither of them had the heart to take care of it below, and after coaxing Wenwen to bed, they gathered in front of the TV head to head, watching the news and whispering.
Surprised by the vagaries of the situation, Xiao Zengfu's mood was particularly complicated, holding the remote control in exchange, almost all TV stations were talking about this bizarre kidnapping case and Xiao Yang's prophecy, and then he couldn't hold back his words, and asked worriedly: "Will what you said Yang Zai say true?" ”
With Liu Lin's understanding of Xiao Yang, I don't believe that this willful half-grown child can have any superpowers to foresee the future, "How is it possible, you haven't seen that experts have stood up to refute the rumors?" Can the nonsense of a child who didn't even get into college be more credible than those expert professors? ”
Xiao Zengfu shook his head suspiciously, "I also think things are a little abnormal, those chickens and ducks in the back kitchen keep barking all night, and the dog of Lao Wang's family next door is also like this, don't they all say that animals are particularly sensitive to earthquakes or something?" ”
"You call it care, it's chaos!" Liu Lin glanced at him angrily, "You want to kill people and put them in the pot, and you don't allow people to call a few times?" Don't think about so many useful and useless, let's think about how to explain the matter of Yang Tsai when I meet the neighbors tomorrow! ”
