Chapter 453: Rippling Street
However, using Rachel Weisz as a test subject is Charlotte's bad taste after all.
His real work at present is still the preparation of the "Mummy" movie, and the follow-up shooting of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" -
As soon as she returned to the UK, Charlotte came to the filming of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone non-stop and began to check the filming progress during his absence.
- Before leaving, he had already selected some shots that were easier to control in advance and handed them over to the assistant director Lao Gun to supervise the shooting.
Although Lao Gun has never been a full-fledged director, after all, he has been an assistant director for a long time and has rich experience, so the shooting progress is well controlled.
Although it was not as fast as Charlotte's rapid advance, everyone was in good shape, but they also maintained normal progress and did not cause delays.
Charlotte checked it out and found that most of the footage was fine, except for a few shots that might need to be adjusted.
It was an idle matter that Alexis talked about that caught his attentionโ
"In the neighborhood near the set, there was a bizarre murder - the victim was a street girl, and after she was killed, her stomach was dissected-"
"Alexis, don't you want to tell me that this case is a lot like Jack the Ripper's modus operandi?"
Without waiting for Miss Valkyrie to finish, Charlotte asked bluntly.
In response, Alexis shrugged,
"Who knows? Anyway, the British media has been on the rise recently because of this case - they all say that this is a copycat of Jack the Ripper, and even exaggerated, simply saying that Jack the Ripper has been resurrected......"
"How is that possible!?"
Charlotte sneered on her face, but her heart couldn't help but move-
"Theoretically, it is possible for a ghost to deliberately dissect a corpse after killing someone, or even deliberately eat part of the internal organs, in order to gain more fear. ใ
"But that kind of weirdness is generally low-level, unless ......."
Charlotte shook her head, feeling like she was thinking a little too much.
After all, ghosts are still very rare in this world.
However, thinking about her experience in the next few years, Charlotte was unsure.
"If you have time, take me to the scene of the crime to have a look!"
Charlotte to Alexis said.
But these words suddenly made the Valkyrie excited-
"Charlotte, do you suspect there's some goblins at work here?"
"Honestly, it's unlikely. โ
Charlotte shook her head,
"Still, just in case, I'm going to check out the comparative insurance. After all, our "Hogwarts" can be said to be the place with the highest concentration of ghosts in the neighborhood. If there were other ghosts nearby, he would have noticed it too. โ
"That's right!"
Alexis nodded,
"Then let's go and investigate!? I just know that there is a person who has a lot of information about this case. โ
For some reason, Charlotte always felt that Miss Valkyrie's face had an expression called "pleasure......
In fact, Alexis is not the only one who is happy.
It should be said that except for the police gentlemen who are having a headache in New Scotland Yard, there are people all over the United Kingdom, from Downing Street to ordinary neighborhoods in Manchester, who are watching this case with a curious mentality.
No way, who let Jack the Ripper, the ancestor of the modern serial killer, whose name has been artistically turned into a symbol and become synonymous with dark culture!
It's fair to say that the mention of Jack the Ripper, lovers of crime and curiosity culture, as well as some of those who enjoy the dark British style of the late Victorian era, can't help but pay attention.
In this case, media reporters will naturally not miss this feast.
Among them, including "Parrot" Polly.
Although he is an entertainment reporter, "Parrot" Polly has interned in the current affairs section after all, and has a heart to become a social news reporter.
- Of course, this is purely nonsense when he is chatting with his younger brother George.
Polly himself knows very well that he is just idle and bored, and suddenly wants to make a big news -
No way, although the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is full of topics and often releases all kinds of interesting small news, in the final analysis, it was all designed by the crew in advance.
- Poli doesn't really feel a sense of accomplishment at all when reporting this kind of news.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about using bugging devices or anything like that, but after failing once, he was much more cautious.
Moreover, the castle-style studio where the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" filmed the movie also made Polly feel very weird-
He and George snuck in once, but the two big men got lost inside.
Even the photos taken were exposed and invalidated because of George's carelessness, and a camera was lost.
This made Polly very angry.
And what made him even more angry was the blonde woman who found them next and "sent" them to the studio outside.
- The other party's disdainful look made Polly feel that he had been seriously provoked.
The other party claimed to be Charlotte Booth's secretary, but looking at the other party's appearance comparable to that of a female star, Polly felt that the other party was the kind of "capable secretary".
This made Polly feel that he had found a possible scandal.
After all, Charlotte Booth, as a big-name director, has maintained a relationship with popular actress Charlize Theron for several years, although she is not married.
If the news of his derailment can be broken, it should also be a sensation.
- However, Polly had no evidence other than his own conjectures.
Although as a reporter for The Sun, evidence is never an issue โ as long as it's news, it can be fabricated without evidence.
But the problem is that without full evidence, the credibility and dissemination of news will be greatly reduced.
For a veteran paparazzi like Polly, this doesn't make much sense anymore.
So, he could only continue to wait for the opportunity.
And while waiting, the case of imitation of "Jack the Ripper" happened.
Because the location of the crime is not too far from the filming location of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Polly, who had been squatting nearby, immediately rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news.
Although it is unlikely that the murderer will be photographed, Polly has done it by quickly grasping first-hand information.
As a result, an entertaining paparazzi became the first reporter to follow up on the case.
Even, Polly still has a lot of information, and even some information within the police, he has learned a lot through the bugging.
This cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.
What's even more ironic is that "Parrot" Polly doesn't know that the blonde woman who despises him, Alexis, whom he guesses is a "competent secretary", has actually been secretly watching him......
