148, Autumn Peony (2)
"Rey, the paparazzi who specializes in filming you," Barak said to Maggie, looking at the tallest tree next to the pool, "He was hiding there and filming you and we caught him." ”
Hearing that this bearded, somewhat aggrieved-looking man was secretly filming herself, Maggie was a little scared and hurriedly covered her chest with her hands.
Theresa stepped forward and confiscated Rey's camera and deleted its contents.
"Wow, what are you doing?" Seeing that these unknown people were grabbing him and deleting his photos, Rey asked a little unwillingly staring at the camera in Theresa's hand.
The commissioner stepped forward, glanced at the "skeleton" still looking at the painting in the room, flashed his police badge, and said to Rey with a dissatisfied face: "You are suspected of murdering a producer, two actresses, and an agent." ”
"What?" Hearing that he was suspected of murder, the paparazzi Rey was shocked and protested to the commissioner, "This is simply ridiculous, you police will wronged good people!" ”
"You're a good guy?" Lei Yan stepped forward and said to Rey, "In your house, we found a lot of photos of Maggie," Lei Yan glanced at Theresa and continued, "And the photo of this agent, and the filming schedule of the crew was also found on your wall, how do you explain this?" ”
"That's what you're based on?" Rey looked at the commissioner and then at Lei Yan, with an expression of incredulity, shook his head and said, "All the paparazzi are following big stars, celebrities, and taking pictures of them," Rey blinked, seeing that Lei Yan and the others were listening to him seriously, he continued, "Only after taking photos can we have money to get it, what's so strange about this?" ”
"And what about the itinerary?" Theresa asked from the side.
"Any movie, any location," Rey explained to Theresa with a roll of his eyes and lips, "and you can get any star's schedule, plus a dollar, and they come with a shooting plan." ”
"We'll look into this," the Chief asked Lei Yi behind Lei Yan, "Then why did you give us this agent back," the Chief pointed at Theresa and asked, "And Miss Maggie's friend took a lot of pictures?" ”
"Finch, is it?" Rey's face showed a helpless expression, explaining, "She's a painter and a celebrity, and she has a special hobby," Rey glanced at Maggie, turned to the crowd and said, "If I can take any valuable photos, two celebrities, then I will definitely make a good fortune." ”
"Ask why you took a picture of the detective and Finch together," "Ass" couldn't help it, walked out of the crowd, and asked Rey, "Our detective isn't a celebrity either." ”
"Can't you take pictures of celebrities and celebrities making out together," Rey felt that this problem didn't need to be explained at all, and shook his head helplessly and said, "Then I can only settle for the next best thing, and I can make a small profit by photographing celebrities and other women." ”
"Okay, okay, get this guy away," the "fart spirit" also heard it, Rey was not a murderer at all, he was so annoyed that he glanced at the commissioner and waved his hand a few times.
The commissioner called the police officer who came to see the door, escorted Rey into the police car, turned his head to look at Lei Yan and the others, Lei Yan and the others were also looking at him, and now that Rey has been caught, the possibility that he is the murderer is almost zero, and everyone can't think of what to do next for a while, so they are all frozen there.
"Come and see," the "skeleton", who had been looking at the painting indoors, suddenly turned to the crowd and shouted, "I have made a new discovery!" ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately came to the "skeleton" and examined the collage on the wall with him, and Maggie put on her white nightgown and stood aside, also thinking about what was strange about this painting that had been hanging for a long time.
"Miss Maggie, can you take this painting apart?" "Skeleton" asked, turning to look at Maggie.
"Huh?" Maggie clearly liked the painting, pouted and asked the "skeleton", "Why?" ”
"Ah, don't worry, I'll put this picture back together as it is," Skeleton reassured Maggie as he saw Maggie's expression, "I see a lot of you in this painting." ”
"Is this related to the case?" Maggie was still a little reluctant, looking at the collage with a little regret, and asked "Skeleton".
"Probably very important," Skeleton said to Maggie with a glance at Lei Yan.
"We promise to put it back together for you," Lei Yan took out his camera, took a picture of the painting, and assured Maggie.
"Let's number each one in order," Skeleton explained to Maggie, "It's not hard at all to restore the painting to its original shape, and you can't go wrong." ”
"Well, I trust you," Maggie nodded in agreement, deciding that their plan worked.
So Lei Yan and others worked together, first lifting the two-meter-long collage to the dining table in the living room, and then working together to disassemble the paintings into strips, and then put them together into complete photos.
"Maggie, it seems that someone has been following you for several years," looking at the big photos of Maggie, Lei Yan raised his eyes and said to the silent Maggie.
"That's basically your life," Skeleton looked at the photos from left to right, rearranged the order of the photos, and then said to Maggie with a satisfied brow, Maggie looked at Skeleton with a look of surprise.
"First performance, movie poster," Theresa said to Maggie, looking at the photos, "almost everything since you went to college, and each big photo itself contains many photos, big and small, so all the big photos together are quite informative." ”
"And my hometown in the countryside," Maggie said to the crowd, pointing to a house in the photo, sighing.
"Who gave you this picture?" The commissioner glanced at Lei Yan and asked a crucial question.
"Him," Maggie said, gesturing to a small one in a large photo on the left.
"Who is this?" The chief asked curiously, not recognizing it at a glance.
"Rick, the gallery owner," "Skeleton" said, and Lei Yan and the others also saw that this was a photo of the gallery owner Rick when he was young.
"We went to the same high school, the same university," Maggie said, looking at the commissioner, frowning.
"Does he know you like red autumn peonies?" Lei Yan asked Maggie, Maggie glanced at everyone, nodded, and did not speak.
"Hey, I'm the commissioner," the commissioner immediately called the officer in charge of the archives at the police station, and said, "Check me out the background of the gallery owner Rick and where he is now." ”
Half an hour later, except for the "skeleton" who was left to protect Maggie, the commissioner and Lei Yan all arrived at Rick's gallery.
They are ready to arrest Rick on the spot, of course, as long as Rick does not resist arrest and goes through the motions, they still have to ask him a few questions first, so that he has nothing to say, and then handcuff him beautifully and bring him to the police car.
There was no danger on Maggie's side, just a symbolic protection from the weakest of the armed men.
The gallery is closed to the public today, so there is not a single guest, empty, deserted, Lei Yan and the others rushed in, but they didn't meet anyone, so they had to go around to find Rick, the front and back doors had already been guarded by the police, and Rick couldn't fly.
