Chapter 16: No Malice

"Accompanied by Jodie Foster and her mother, Aveline Brandi Almond", Xiao Yang visited this baroque mansion that can only be seen from a distance and dare not play with it, with elevated solid wood beams, pure oak floors and solid wood furniture that maintain the original wood grain, kitchens and bathrooms with smooth marble surfaces, and various household appliances representing the most advanced technology of this era. The comfortable and luxurious modern style is blended into the elegant and mysterious charm of the building itself, which is dizzying and enviable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Of course, in addition to opening his eyes, Xiao Yang's purpose in doing this was to make sure that there was no one else in the house, and to find a suitable "coercion site" from the many rooms.

After going upstairs and downstairs, he chose the study on the south side of the first floor, opposite the master bedroom, where there is only one door for entry and exit, the window facing the direction of the door is of moderate size, and there are a few flowers and trees planted in front of the window, which can not only clearly observe the situation on the courtyard and the road outside the door, but also well isolate the sight from the outside, avoid being remotely locked by police snipers, and the best thing is that there is a large-screen color TV in the room, which can help him keep abreast of the reaction of the news media.

Walking to the piano next to the bookshelf and sitting down, Xiao Yang pointed at the two high-backed chairs opposite with the muzzle of his gun, "Please sit, two ladies, don't be restrained, just like in your own home." ā€

The mother and daughter duo did not feel relaxed by his pretended relaxed tone, but became more nervous, especially Judy herself, Xiao Yang's polite conversation, calm demeanor, friendly and kind smile, especially when he saw the valuable jewelry on the dresser in the bedroom on the second floor, all made her realize that his purpose was not as simple as burglary, "What do you want?" ā€

"We have one more small detail to work on before answering your question." Xiao Yang took out a few nylon rubber hoops from his pocket to tie wires, and motioned to Aveline Almond, "Do me a favor, ma'am, can you use them to tie your daughter to the chair, your hands and feet should be tied, rest assured, although this thing is very strong, it is not as hard, cold, and impersonal as handcuffs, as long as you don't struggle too hard, you won't hurt." ā€

Poor Lady Almond did not dare to approach him at all, she just kept shaking her head and begging in a low voice with tears in her eyes: "No, don't do this, don't hurt my daughter, you can do anything to me, just let her go, please......"

"Mom, stop, don't say any more!" Seeing the apologetic but firm expression on Xiao Yang's face, Judy realized that showing too much weakness would not make him soft-hearted, but might stimulate him to do something more terrible, and after barely appeasing her mother, she took the initiative to walk up to Xiao Yang, took the nylon rubber hoop from his hand, and tied her right hand and feet to the armrest and foot of the chair respectively, "I can only do this, please do me a favor with this hand, but please don't treat my mother like this, she is 64 years old this year, and her health is not very good, Can't afford such a serious injury. ā€

"That's enough." Xiao Yang nodded with satisfaction, those nylon glue hoops that are often used to fix wires are thin but very strong, without the help of scissors and other sharp tools, it is impossible for her left hand alone to untie it, as for Ms. Almond, who is over sixty years old, it is even less threatening, of course, he must always be vigilant enough, "Thank you for your cooperation, Judy, it seems that we have a good start, and I can guarantee that as long as you continue to maintain this attitude, I will absolutely, absolutely not hurt the two, Because I just want to ask you for help, and I don't have any ill will towards you, you can trust me. ā€

"Yes, I also believe that you have no malicious intent......" Judy squeezed out a very reluctant smile, and took a "fart" in her stomach, no malice, no malice, what are you doing when you break into my house, still holding a gun in your hand? Thinking of this, a memory that had been sleeping in the depths of her mind for more than ten years suddenly slowly surfaced in front of her.

The story starts 18 years ago, in 1976, a "Taxi Driver" successfully became popular with Robert De Niro, and also won her Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress that year at the age of 14, making her the best child star in the late 70s and early 80s, and laying a serious hidden danger for the "Hinkley Incident" five years later.

In 1981, in order to get her attention, a movie fan named John Hinckley not only stalked her on the campus of Yale University, sent her love letters, made phone calls, and even imitated the plot of "Taxi Driver" to assassinate then-US President Ronald Reagan, for which she had to seek police protection while attending midterm exams and graduation ceremonies, and was forced to be interrogated and investigated by the FBI again and again, even the change in her sexual orientation was somewhat affected by the incident.

At this moment, seeing the harmless smile on Xiao Yang's face, Judy seemed to see John Hinckley's polite but implied crazy, delusional, and self-deceptive face again, and she seemed to be able to hear the roar of the beast hidden in Xiao Yang's body, this thought made her shudder a little, and she didn't even dare to look directly into the other party's eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Yang was also looking at her silently, strictly speaking, Jodie Foster was not the kind of blonde beauty in the usual sense, her forehead was a little narrow, her nose was not straight enough, her lips were thin, and her chin was too pointed, but her inside-out temperament and personal charm made up for these defects very well, and when he noticed her dodging eyes and slightly trembling calves, he probably guessed what she was afraid of, in order to eliminate her hostility as much as possible, and try to make a name for this "famous operation" as much as possible Arranged a milder ending, he put his weapon on the piano lid and said in a thoughtful voice: "I know that my behavior looks a little terrible, even ...... It's unforgivable, but I want to reiterate that I really want to ask you for help, or ask for your cooperation, that's all. ā€

"First of all, I'm not a fan of yours, Judy, I'm sorry to say that, but I just want to say that I don't have any bad thoughts about you, and I don't want to do anything crazy about you like John Hinckley, and you can rest assured about that." Speaking of this, Xiao Yang paused slightly, so that the other party had enough time to digest his words, "Of course, you are a very good actor, there is no doubt about this, "The Silence of the Lambs" is a great movie, your performance in it is as wonderful as Anthony (Hopkins), and you deserve an Oscar!" ā€
