Chapter 495: Investigation Gate

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

As the head of the fan association said, when she arrived near the gate of the Los Angeles County Police Department, Daisy did not see the riot police in the brigade, let alone tear gas, and with a large number of media reporters accompanying and constantly filming, waiting for them were just some ordinary police officers to maintain order.

Banners were unfurled, protest posters were raised, and occasional slogans in support of Murphy were shouted, and hundreds of people were barricaded in front of the police station.

However, under the reminder of the head of the fan association, whether it was the members of the IMDB Murphy-Stanton discussion group convened by Daisy, or the other Murphy fans who came spontaneously, they were relatively restrained, and did not do anything other than banners, posters, and slogans.

As time went by, more and more people joined the protest, at the beginning, the people who joined were basically Murphy's fans, and later many human rights organizations also became part of the protest, and the slogans of the protest were no longer just for Murphy, and the big hats such as freedom and democracy were also raised by these people.

In just one day, more than 2,500 people staged a sit-in protest in front of the Los Angeles County Police Department, and the number of media reporters who followed them rose to more than 100.

At the same time, the California prosecutor showed super efficiency, and after nearly 10 days of investigation, officially announced that the investigation of Murphy by Sheriff Gatlin Collins under the Los Angeles Police Department was an act of violating police regulations and violating civil rights without any formal and legal procedures.

After the results of the investigation were announced, it caused an uproar in Hollywood, and if something like this can happen to Murphy today, it may happen to them tomorrow.

Hollywood stars and celebrities have publicly condemned the Los Angeles police on their social accounts, as well as big-name stars such as Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio, calling for a public protest in Hollywood.

Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio was in the camp for Murphy almost immediately.

The reason is simple, he clearly wants to ease the relationship with Murphy.

The situation of "The Wolf of Wall Street" cannot be reversed, Leonardo DiCaprio can not get any benefit from this project, and naturally refuses to conflict with Murphy again, and the unprofitable thing is not only Murphy's unwillingness to do, but also Leonardo DiCaprio.

Now that the previous events have passed, for the sake of the future, he definitely doesn't want to completely mess with Murphy, and it is necessary to release goodwill and ease the relationship between the two parties through some means.

Murphy didn't have time to pay attention to Leonardo DiCaprio for the time being, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" was about to be released, and he flew to New York with Gal Gadot to prepare for the premiere of the film.

It was a film that reflected Wall Street, and the premiere was once again held at the State Theatre of New York at the Lincoln Center for the Arts.

Unlike the film, which has a relatively small production cost of only 80 million US dollars, "The Wolf of Wall Street" has received wide attention from the public and the media, and the incident called "Investigative Gate" by many media outlets has fully met the expectations of Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox.

Murphy and Gal Gadot arrived in Manhattan early, didn't go to the hotel, and officially moved into the renovated Upper East Side apartment for the first time, but in New York, Murphy is still keeping an eye on the situation in Los Angeles, whether through the news media or Bill Rothes, to learn some of the latest developments.

Once the matter rises to the level of freedom and democracy, it is not so simple to calm down completely, and the number of protesters in front of the Los Angeles County Police Department increases almost daily, and it quickly spreads around the world through news media coverage, and then attracts widespread attention.

This 'investigationgate' incident is no longer limited to the police and Hollywood, and has a tendency to become a hot spot of national attention.

Under pressure from the public, prosecutors, and lawyers, the attitude of the Los Angeles police leadership, who originally supported Gatlin Collins, has quietly changed.

This kind of thing is not the patent of the other side of the Pacific.

"You've put the entire Los Angeles police under tremendous pressure!"

In a luxurious office, the bespectacled director looked at Gatling Collins, who was holding up his hand, and said, "Who are you going to investigate who is bad, and you have to target a person who has a national reputation?" ”

If you are only famous, forget it, the other party is still very rich, in this country, money represents a lot of things, and through everything that happened during this time, he also saw very clearly that the young Hollywood director has been tied to some media groups, and it is simply a community of interests.

The police are not necessarily afraid of them, but the problem is that there are also many people in the police department who are biased towards them......

Thinking of this, he shook his head, "Stupid! What a fool you are! ”

Gatlin Collins stood there with his head bowed and didn't say a word, during this time he was under tremendous pressure, almost becoming a rat exposed to the sun, everyone chased and shouted, and if he hadn't hid in time, he would have been torn apart and eaten by those crazy fans of Murphy Stanton.

Well...... Coupled with those reporters who are afraid that the United States will not be chaotic enough, he will not even have bones left.

"What do you think?"

Hearing the director's words, Gatlin Collins raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and his temples gray, as if he had suddenly aged by a decade.

"I'll take care of ......"

"You're responsible?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the suddenly angry director, who put down his glasses, stood up and propped his hands on the desk, and reprimanded angrily, "Can you take this responsibility?" Now, prosecutors in California, the nation's top law firms, the FBI's Los Angeles office, and the governor's office are all putting a lot of pressure on us! ”

The director straightened up, took two steps back and forth, pointed to the outside of the office, and said loudly, "Those thousands of protesters outside, can you solve them if you are in charge?" ”

"The current governor has called me three times to ask about the situation!" The more the director said, the more angry he became, "Do you know that he was born in Hollywood? ”

Finally, he stared at Gatlin Collins and said, "Without any evidence and without the support of high-level forces, you little sheriff dares to investigate someone who should not be provoked!" ”

Today, how could Gatlin Collins not know that his impulsive behavior has caused great trouble!

"But......" he wanted to say.

"No, but!" The director raised his hand to interrupt him, "We won't let Murphy Stanton go if there is a little evidence, but we don't have any evidence that Murphy Stanton did those things back then!" ”

There are some things that he won't say explicitly, and those things that happened back then didn't happen during his tenure, so why should he investigate a person who will bring him huge trouble for something that has no evidence.

The law does say that it is fair and just, but when it comes to money, fame, and benefits, there will always be some bias.

"In this way," the chief suppressed his anger, which would not solve the problem at all, "you submit a resignation report, and when this matter is over, I will find a way to transfer you to the police station in another city." ”

"I'm ......," Gatlin Collins opened his mouth, but was interrupted by the Director again, "That's it, you as soon as possible." ”

Glancing at the director, Gatlin Collins knew that things couldn't be turned around, nodded slightly, turned and walked out of the office.

Walking out of the office door, Gatlin Collins suddenly thought that he still had a large mortgage to pay, and if he lost his job, what should he do with the mortgage?

He wrote a resignation report as quickly as he could, and then left the police station through the back door, ready to go home to avoid the limelight, and the mortgage matter could only wait for the matter to settle down.

Two days before the North American premiere of "The Wolf of Wall Street", Murphy received news from Bill Rothes that the Los Angeles police convened a press conference on the same day and officially responded to the public for the first time, saying that there was indeed a Gatlin Collins Sheriff who was illegally investigating Murphy, but this was only his personal behavior, and the police department did not know the situation, and Gatlin Collins had also resigned.

Although this public response could not completely calm the 'investigationgate', it also calmed the emotions of many people, especially to give Murphy an explanation in this regard, and the news from the Los Angeles police through some channels showed that they had abandoned Gatlin Collins.

"Will he do something impulsive?"

In the cloakroom, Gal Gadot helps Murphy tie his bow tie and says, "A former sheriff, if ......"

"Don't worry." Murphy picked up the black gown jacket and put it on, "He doesn't have the time, he doesn't have the energy. The California prosecutors, the F.B.I. and the Justice Department alone will overwhelm him, and Robert is constantly pressuring, and strictly speaking, Gatlin Collins has been implicated in duty-related crimes. ”

Murphy doesn't know much about the law in this area, and it's not very clear who should be responsible for investigating the crimes that Gatlin Collins may be involved in, but Robert told him that the other party will never get out of it.

That's enough for him.

However, just in case, Gal Gadot brought back the previous bodyguards again, and although Murphy didn't care, she didn't dare to let him take any risks and gave the bodyguards a long-term contract.

Dressed in their gowns, Murphy and Gal Gadot got into the Bentley driven by their bodyguards and headed for the Lincoln Center. (To be continued.) )
