"Mr. Senator, what do you think about this assassination, and is it necessary for California to legislate to limit the scale of action of the paparazzi? And do you think the police's practice of not disclosing the details of the case is more counterproductive in a case with such a high level of public attention? More gossip spurred? ”

"Yes, actually, we're also talking about gossip right now, because the authorities aren't officially sure if the suspect is really working as a paparazzi—"

"Hahaha, yes, in a way, we're part of this phenomenon, and there's a very complex ethical issue -- one of the things that we often say in California is that people have the right to know what they want to know, so we've been very lenient on any public issue with the media, but in this case, does the media really have that much discretion? Every case of serial killers, cult killings, and of course such stalker assaults is a carnival of imitators, and the more it is reported, the more imitators are inspired, the more imitators are gathered, and the more comfortable and extreme they are in this niche cultural community—"

"This is a very good question, in fact, it reflects the weakness of professional ethics in this system, when the whole environment has lost the ability to self-regulate, if you don't want to get out, you can only join it, this is a very typical phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, but I think it is impossible for the government to restrict this phenomenon by amending legislation in the short term."

"Impossible."

"yes, I don't think so."

"Do you think so, Mr. Senator? Even Jennifer. The impact of the Jefferson incident was so widespread that even Mr. President tweeted his shock and best wishes for the incident? ”

"It's a delicate question, after all, changing state law is a serious process, and Jennifer's case is certainly very unfortunate, but even if the paparazzi are restrained, can we reduce the occurrence of such incidents? Rationally, it's not a matter of clear causal relevance, and I think it's more important to be more strict about stalker's behavior—"

"Then we're back to the old problem that restraining orders can't be enforced."

"Yes, but ......"

Stimulated by the news of Jennifer's assassination, today's movie market continues to fluctuate unexpectedly, and the box office of "Life Journey", which has been on the file for more than a month, rebounded by 300%, and the single-theater attendance rate became the highest today. The global box office of this film has also rebounded significantly, and the global market may exceed 1 billion, and theater owners around the world have stated that they will renew the contract, extend the release time of "Life Journey" and adjust the film scheduling ......"

"The list of Jennifer's works has conquered the major lists, Amazon and Netflix have been slaughtered by old works, and the hidden money chain behind the tragic effect."

"#gj.j# on Twitter became the most popular hashtag, and fans across the country held prayers for Jennifer, and in the corner of Times Square in New York, fans were holding candles, and we could see many fans holding small signs with the hashtag on Twitter."

"Suspect Zade. Is Rupp a stalker habitual offender and paranoid? An avid fan in his 40s contacted the media to indicate that he and Zad. It is possible that Rupp met and the other party boasted to him that Jennifer had been talking about him for ten years. He said that Rupp obviously had paranoia of victimization, and repeatedly stated that he was being hunted down by mysterious forces, and hinted that he had killed people with his own hands. And Rupp has repeatedly organized the Stalker to go to Jennifer's mansion to harass her, claiming that he is the Stalker who had invaded Jennifer's mansion and left threatening remarks, all of which were aimed at awakening Jennifer's unpleasant memories and deepening her impression. He said that Rupp was full of malice towards Jennifer, repeatedly claiming that she was a liar and wanted her to pay, and all this made the whistleblower uncomfortable, and soon after he withdrew from the community, Jennifer's security team stepped up patrols, and the community was disbanded, and then he lost his trace of Rupp, but he was not sure about Zade. Rupp and Zadeh, whom he knew. Smith is not alone because he didn't see Zad. Rump's photo, so the news is still in doubt. ”

The Golden Globe Awards announced the list of nominees, "Life Journey" won five nominations, Jennifer was nominated for actress, and at the press conference, the host Andy . Samberg spearheaded the call for prayers for Jennifer, while spokesperson Judy Brown. Ackerman said Jennifer's team would be represented. ”

"Will Jennifer ever wake up? It is reported that her ex-husband Cesare claims to be her emergency guardian, and there is news that Jennifer is the biggest beneficiary in her will, has Jennifer not had time to change the will? Now that Cesare has all the power in his pocket, will he let a sober Jennifer change the will and put an end to the situation? ”

"Jennifer is brain dead......"

"The public condemned the stalker and the paparazzi for violating the privacy of celebrities, and the paparazzi defended themselves: everything they did was within the scope of the law."

"Christopher. Hanks yelled at the paparazzi at the San Francisco airport, and the two nearly got into a physical altercation, and he then went to visit Jennifer at San Francisco General Hospital. ”

"Josh. Blanche and Heath. Ledger, Leonardo. DiCaprio, Jennifer. Bell, Andy. Samberg and other star groups went to the hospital, Meryl. Streep arrived on his next flight, and the attack was a testament to Jennifer's popularity. ”

"Salvi. Tucci showed up at the airport, flying in transit from New Zealand, alone and dejected, unresponsive to the paparazzi's inquiries. ”

"Daniel. In the interview, Day-Lewis expressed his concern and grief for Jennifer, and he and his wife very much hope that Jennifer will recover as soon as possible. ”

"Little Robert. Downey tweeted three times in a row to pray for Jennifer, the "Fast and Furious" star group tweeted concerns, Jay-Z, Kanye and other hip-hop gangs tweeted to condemn Stalker, and Kanye made a wonderful scene. ”

"James. Cameron showed up at the dinner and offered to lend a private jet to transfer Jennifer back to Los Angeles for treatment, and he did not deny that he introduced Jennifer to a doctor, 'She deserves the best treatment'. ”

"Cesare. Where did Vijri go? It is reported that he had a severe PTSD phenomenon, and it was he who shot and killed the kidnappers several times that night, saving Jennifer's life......"

"Three days." Jared said, pinching the bridge of his nose and tossing the newspaper on the table, closing the web and the television, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information he received. "It's only been three days since the press conference, and the information that the media has unearthed is almost as good as a year's work for a police department, and wow, I mean, WOW -- we should hire some paparazzi to be cops."

"In fact, the media can sometimes help us -- especially in cases like these, and there is some information in these newspapers that is very noteworthy," Angelo said, picking up a tabloid "and reading this, the rabid fans claim that Zadeh. Rupp and Zadeh, whom he knew. Smith is probably a man -- much of the information in this news is related to Zad. Rupp fits very well, including his paranoia of victimization. ”

"Well, the 'fantasy' of being hunted down." Jared put a quotation mark around his head, "How much do you know about the case of that paparazzi, Sheff?" ”

"So far, there have only been some news reports at the time -- there was news of his indictment, but then there has been no news," Angelo said, "and the media will not be too interested in such news -- do you think what Zadeh's letter says is true?" ”

"What do you think?" Jared didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Do you think this is a complete victimization fantasy?" ”

"Ugh." Angelo spread his hands, "If Zade had proof, according to his hatred for Jennifer, he would definitely take it out, or at least leave a clue in the letter, wouldn't it?" If he had killed Shef, at least a picture should have been taken, shouldn't it? Judging by his performance - he is a complete victim delusion. And if Zadeh. Rupp and Zade. Smith makes more sense if it's a person, doesn't it? He did so much not for the money, but to hurt Jennifer, and it was a stress response that he felt Jennifer had hurt him, so he was going to fight back. ”

Maybe they overestimated their opponents, or maybe the police's lax stance confused Judy. Ackerman, Jared still have the case, and they were able to search the apartment, and Zad kept a copy of the letter in many secret places in the house, accusing Jennifer and Cesare of fake marriage and tax evasion, and Josh. Blanche faked a relationship, and sent people to hunt him down, because he sent her death threats, especially after he killed the journalist Sheff, and was attacked by Jennifer's men, and now has to move from time to time to escape Jennifer's men's incursions - in short, the letter indicts a whole bunch of very speculative crimes, and the reason why he doesn't put the letter in a prominent place is that 'he is always ready to be hunted down by Jennifer, and he is afraid that the letter will be destroyed before the police arrive'.

Of course, the police can't take this kind of confessional letter like a madman's babbling too seriously, but they are still cracking Zade's computer password, hoping to find more evidence, and Angelo and others obviously lowered their expectations after searching for this letter: for such a mentally ill person full of nonsense, it is difficult for you to take everything he says seriously, how did Zade know these things here? He opened the eyes of heaven? Also, Jennifer has been sending people to hunt him down? This is the same as the government has been monitoring him, which is a typical symptom of victim paranoia. And considering the malice he revealed in the letter, their imaginary scenario of 'Zad was just extorting money and being killed' has come to naught, and judging from the psychological state he showed in the letter, his hatred for Jennifer is not something that money can soothe, and this is not a money-seeking criminal.

"Yes, you have a lot of point." Jared didn't deny Angelo's point, "But it still doesn't explain the missing memory card - the call to Scotland Yard?" ”

"Hit, but you know the efficiency of the other side." Angelo grimaced, "Optimistically, we'll get a reply in a few months - unless you can send us on a business trip to London." ”

"Dream on, you're just," Jared glared at Angelo, and he groaned, "ready to ask the Golden Trio again...... Let's start with Joanna, she would be a good breakthrough. Also, it's time to ask Cesare - discuss the contents of the letter with him, stimulate him, see how he reacts - he's been in the hospital for the past few days? ”

In order to paralyze Judy and gain more time, and because there is no deadline for solving the case, the police have not asked him to make a confession, of course, this is also because he has been staying in the San Francisco General Hospital and has never left that floor, so it can be said that every move is under the noses of the police, and there is no possibility of getting out of control.

"He's been running Jennifer's specialist consultations." Angelo said, and he couldn't help but add, "Man, those newspapers are really -- he's going to put Jennifer in a coma and get power?" This is a bunch of nonsense, I heard from the experts in the hospital that I have never seen a nationwide expert consultation organized in two days - Vijri paid at least 1 million for this consultation and travel expenses, these rich people - "

He smacked his lips, obviously disapproving, but didn't comment much. Jared also nodded thoughtfully: the country's top experts are not so easy to find, such as this kind of consultation that is obviously out of the family's wishes, not for incurable diseases, and wants to invite the real top experts in the country within 2 days, it is definitely not only money, there must also be a considerable cost of connections, it seems that the accusation of Wijerry and Jefferson's fake marriage is becoming less and less credible, which reduces the credibility of Zade's letter.

But...... What the hell did that lost memory card say? Jared frowned, still feeling unrelieved.

"Anyway," he decided, "we're going to interrogate him -- don't let him come to the police, let's go to the hospital and look for him." ”

Stepping into the private ward floor of San Francisco General Hospital, I greeted the two policemen guarding the elevator, and glanced at the two policemen guarding the door of the ward—although this was beneficial to Jared, which was equivalent to taking all the suspects into his sight, Jared still felt a slight anger rise: there is no doubt that the mayor and the director are working so hard because of Jennifer's special status, but Jared has always been short of people, and now, she alone occupies four police officers.

"Hey, Ms. Ackerman." Stopping the PR who pressed the phone and opened the patio door back in the hallway, he tried to smile as easily as possible, "Is everything okay?" ”

"Tons of things." Judy. Ackerman glanced at him and replied nonchalantly, but Jared noticed her shoulders tense, "Did you read the news?" So many big people have to come to visit her, but the visiting rules in this hospital are so strict, of course, you can't see anything at all now, which makes everything really difficult to arrange-"

Perhaps noticing her complaint made Jared raise an eyebrow, Judy paused and added, "Oh, but Jennifer's condition has stabilized, and the bruise is getting smaller, which is a good sign, but it's hard to say when she'll wake up." ”

“ok。” Jared said that Judy's tone made him uncomfortable, "So, it looks like I don't have the privilege of visiting her?" ”

Judy looked at him for a moment, then reached out and pulled the door open and made a gesture of invitation. Jared walked into the door of the suite—there were several people sitting in the reception room using computers, and the low, brisk typing sound was like a piece of music, and through the door inside the suite, he saw Cesare. Vijery and a young woman sat on the edge of the hospital bed and whispered to each other, both of them with worries written on their faces. Jennifer didn't change anything, still lying motionless around the life-sustaining system.

"Cesare." Judy knocked on the door, eyes still glued to her phone, "Sheriff is here." ”

Cesare and the young woman both stood up, and Jared walked into the room and shook Cesare's hand. "Mr. Vijeri—this young lady—"

"This is my good friend with Jenny, Lillian. Svensson. Cesare said, his brow furrowed, and Jared couldn't help but think that maybe this was not Cesare's usual expression — the man was always a very commercial mask in public, and Cesare should have given him a sense of mood, at least from the information he had gathered. She came from Los Angeles the other day to help me organize a consultation. Lillian, this is Jared. Captain Dunphy. ”

"Captain." Lillian shook his hand and looked back and forth between Jared and Cesare, "You're here to question Cesare, aren't you?" ”

Her cleverness and acumen have made Jared secretly frightened - in fact, from Judy to Lillian, and Jennifer. Jefferson's related people and so on have almost washed away his impression of the entire Hollywood star class, and the imaginary big/hemp, alcohol, sex. On the contrary, Jennifer seems to have a really business-minded team that is capable and efficient in every way, which impresses him as well as finds it tricky: it seems to be getting harder and harder to get some valuable information from Cesare.

"Yes, if you have time." He said, deliberately taking a light tone, as if it were just routine. "I've heard you've been busy organizing consultations, and if it's not convenient for you, I can come back another day - you know, it's just a formality that has to be done."

"There's no need." "I've got time right now—let's find an empty ward, officer," Cesare said. ”

"Okay." Jared said with some embarrassment, and he took a few steps back and walked to the door to wait for Cesare—he didn't immediately follow, for Lillian whispered a few more words to him, and then stood on tiptoe and hugged him.

"I'll take care of J.J.," she said, and the look on her face made Jared feel a little maternal—and kissed Sarrey's temple in another maternal gesture, "You do what you should do, Chesa." ”

Cesare took a deep breath, his expression calmed and his brow returned to his place, of course, he still looked serious and tense, but the feeling of the deep sea, the feeling Jared got from the news, returned.

"Officer." He said, gesturing, and walked out of the room first. Jared stood in the doorway and glanced at Lillian a few more times—she was bending down to gently wipe Jennifer's cheek, another motherly look...... It seems that she and the former couple really have a really good relationship.

Taking a mental note, he and Cesare found an empty ward, set up a video recorder with the help of several police officers, and began the interrogation in earnest. "Name?"

"Cesare. Vijri. ”

"Age?" Jared asked a few questions routinely, "After the door closes, Zad. Rupp held Jennifer hostage to the top of the stairs, didn't she? Concealed himself with the help of her and decorations. ”

"Yes," Cesare said, "I was on the stairs and the other three were at the bottom of the stairs. ”

"Did you notice that there was a DV?"

"Noticed," Cesare said, "Zade is ready." ”

"So, did you know that there is no memory card in the DV?"

"I don't know." Cesare appeared to be poised, and he seemed prepared for these questions—and that's the disadvantage of not being able to ask questions in the first place. "I said, I'm on the stairs, with my back to the DV, and I've never gone down the stairs."

"Ok," Jared said, wondering when it would be a good time to get the letter, "and do you remember what Zad said?" ”

Cesare nodded without a moment's hesitation.

"Yes." He said.

Jared scratched and pulled on the paper, still thinking about the question he had just asked, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that he almost dropped the pen in his hand.

"Huh?" He said that was the first reaction, but then quickly adjusted his attitude, coughed, and casually asked, "So—what did he say?" ”
