Chapter 68: Power Outage?
When Anne returned to her desk and plugged in the network card, the computer was finally connected to the Internet, and the world finally became a better place.
Yi Annie looked at the editorial department, it was obvious that it was time to go to work, but there were few people here, so they must have gone to the press conference to join in the fun. Yi Annie also wanted to know how the police made up the story, so she registered it on the company's system and got up to go to the lecture hall.
At this moment, the lecture hall is already crowded, with long guns and short guns in the front row, and the further back are basically onlookers who will not participate in the Q&A session.
Anne glanced at it, but didn't see any empty seats, so she found an empty seat to stand.
After a while, she saw Xiande and Inferno watching from the other corner.
Anne squeezed over to say hello and asked Inferno, "What happened to this?" ”
Because Ferno didn't answer, he frowned and looked at Yi Annie, then said sorry to Xiande, pulled her into a corner where there was no one, and then said, "What's the situation with you?" ”
Anne Yi didn't know why: "What's wrong?" ”
Inferno looked at Anne, "Why do I think you're unlucky?" ”
Yi Annie was surprised: "How do you see that?" Catherine gave me a divination over the weekend and said I was going to be in danger this week. ”
With that, Anne told Inferno what happened on the weekend, starting with the encounter with Catherine and going whale watching on Sunday.
Finally, she took out the small stones that Catherine had given her and showed them to Inferno, and asked, "Can these stones really protect me through this week?" ”
Inferno's pale and slender fingers twisted an opal and looked at the light: "It should be fine...... Is Catherine talking about this week? Four stones a day, I feel like it should be enough. ”
Yi Annie cried and mourned: "But yesterday I used up three stones in one day. ”
Inferno looked at Iannie in disbelief, and after a while, he finally said, "When the stones run out, call me." ”
With Ferno's words, Yi Annie seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and suddenly her impetuous mind quieted down.
So, back to the original topic: "What happened to the serial murders and the devil?" Did you find any information about the bell tower? ”
Inferno nodded and said, "The information has been found, and the devil's seal has been strengthened again." The information of the Devil's Tower is still under investigation, and it should be resolved smoothly. ”
After listening to Inferno's words, Yi Annie felt a lot more relieved, and finally put her mind back on the press conference.
Before, the police officer had already finished talking about the love history of the serial murderer, which roughly meant that the millionaire had the idea of wanton murder because he was abandoned by a woman. This story is made up from beginning to end, and there are actually human and physical evidence.
The reporters in the front row are flying like a pen, and most of the reporters in the back row are whispering, and this story is not only not logically clear, but it can be regarded as a finished fabrication.
When it came to the Q&A session, a black female reporter was asked a question, and Anne Yi had no impression of this person at all, thinking that she was a reporter from another media.
The black reporter asked: "Recently, the BLM (Black Lives Matter) activities have been in full swing in the world, and on behalf of the black group, I would like to ask, has the cause of death of the owner of "Summer City Experience", who was not counted as a murderer killed before, been investigated?" ”
Anne is not interested in BLM, but she is quite interested in the crux of the issue. After all, she also saw the deceased's car on the road at that time, and she could be regarded as having experienced it.
As soon as this question came out, the lecture hall suddenly fell silent, and it seemed that everyone wanted to know the answer.
The officer slowly wiped his sweat and cleared his throat with a sip of water before replying, "Under the sleepless investigation of our police officers, the boss of the "Summer City Experience", he committed suicide. And judging from the timing of suicide, there is a high probability that he wanted to cheat the insurance ......"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.
The black reporter stood a little shaky, and she forced herself to continue asking, "Do the police have any evidence?" ”
"That's natural," the officer nodded, greeting the officers on the side, and soon, a new PPT opened, displaying a series of clues on the big screen in the lecture hall, "From the time of his death to the ballistic verification, it can be proved that this is actually a fake homicide scene." Our investigation found that the "Summer City Experience" tabloid has been losing money and has long been unable to make ends meet, and it should have filed for bankruptcy. The boss of "Xia Cheng Experience" probably wanted to fake him to kill him to defraud his wife and children of insurance. ”
As soon as this was said, the few small media outlets who listened to the report were very happy.
They know that the big media will mainly focus on this serial murder case in the case of BLM, and the news of the boss of "Summer City Experience" will not take up too much space. The tabloids, on the other hand, love this kind of gossip the most, and they can follow it as much as they can, from the "Summer City Experience" newspaper to the boss's family affairs, which seem to be able to make headlines for at least a week.
The Q&A session continued, and Iannie was no longer interested, so she chatted with Inferno without a match.
When he complained that everything in the press center was bad recently, Inferno chuckled: "I said, when I entered the press center, I saw a lot of mischievous elves, I thought they were coming in with the people who came to the lecture hall, but I didn't expect it to breed here in the press center last week." ”
Yi Annie was stunned: "You mean, these things that have broken down recently are mysterious incidents?" ”
Inferno was also stunned: "Heh, so you don't know......"
As he spoke, the lecture hall suddenly went dark. The lecture hall, the activity center of the information center, is a semi-underground building, with little daylight, and is illuminated entirely by lights.
After all the lights went out suddenly, someone in the predominantly female group of reporters screamed.
Soon, the emergency lights by the door also lit up, and everyone took out their mobile phones to illuminate them.
"There's a power outage?"
"There will be a power outage in the news center......"
"Well, let's go out first."
Suddenly, a loud voice came, apparently coming from the microphone and stereo on stage.
"Huh? Microphones are still useful? ”
Someone knocked on the microphone, and sure enough, there was a sound of audition, and then, the person picked up the microphone and began to instruct the staff to check the power supply of the electric switch, etc., and asked the reporters present to be calm for a while, and after the lights were restored, they could continue the press conference.
Iannie was already standing in the back row, thinking that there was nothing more to hear, so she prepared to take Inferno outside to ask about the prankster elf.
Pushing open the door of the lecture hall, the lights from outside came in, making Yi Annie, who had absconded, extremely eye-catching.
Anne looked back and smiled embarrassedly, pulling Inferno and leaving.
The door slammed shut, and the lecture hall was plunged into darkness again.
