Chapter 593: The Killer's Elegy
Of course, in addition to the trust of the audience and distributors in the quality of Charlotte's work, the box office of "Sherlock Holmes" will be so hot, but it is also related to an unexpected event -
That's Billy Huntington's death!
After Agent Kate found out that Billy had died suddenly in his car, it was naturally impossible to hide the incident.
So, on the one hand, the FBI asked the forensic doctor to perform an autopsy on him to determine the cause of death, and on the other hand, under the leadership of Kate, according to Billy's description before his death, began to verify the crime he "confessed".
And when the forensic officers actually found several human skeletons in the courtyard of Billy's house, the FBI was also excited.
- This is a big case sent to the door with a murderer!!
Of course, if the matter ends here, it will only be a very big case.
Although after the news fermentation of the case, I am afraid that the influence will not be small. But normally, it shouldn't affect the box office of "Sherlock Holmes".
But Kate caught Billy Huntington after the premiere of "Sherlock Holmes".
INTERVIEWER There are a lot of journalists.
Even though Kate handcuffed Billy in a secluded place to avoid causing chaos, she was discovered.
Parker Spade and Mary, who were about to go to a nearby hotel to "communicate" after watching the movie, happened to see the scene where she handcuffed Billy.
Naturally, the two reporters followed their own journalistic instincts and followed up on what happened next.
As a result, the next day, the news that "FBI arrested suspect to death at movie premiere" made headlines.
In order to control public opinion and avoid passivity, the FBI had no choice but to take the initiative to announce the investigation of Billy Huntington.
As a result, the reputation of "Ogre" Billy Huntington suddenly became popular.
Even, as the background of the incident, "Sherlock Holmes" has also attracted a lot of attention.
If Billy Huntington was murdered at the premiere of Sherlock Holmes, even if the attention of the film increases, it will be a negative effect overall.
After all, even if the American people love to die, they are still afraid of death.
But the problem is that Billy didn't do anything at the premiere of the movie. It's just that after watching the movie, you turn yourself in, and you end up dying.
This makes the curiosity of the do-gooders swell up at a rapid pace.
Many people who were not originally the audience of "Sherlock Holmes" also walked into the cinema to watch this blockbuster under curiosity.
- As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that this movie is really good.
And that's not the end of the story.
On the one hand, the FBI also has to verify a series of cases that Billy Huntington confessed to.
- Although the murderer is dead, the relatives of the victims are still there, and there are one or two more powerful people among them.
There is no way to close the case without investigating all the facts of the case.
And this, of course, provides a lot of material for journalists.
- Billy Huntington's case will not be popular for another month, and even when "Sherlock Holmes" is released in North America, the popularity of this case may not subside.
On the other hand, on the third day of the premiere, a news came from the Canadian side, which shocked the media and the public even more-
There is also a serial killer who turned himself in after watching "Sherlock Holmes".
Unlike Billy Huntington, he kills more to vent, and his crimes don't sound as horrific as Billy's.
But even so, within a few days, two serial killers popped up, which was enough to shock the people of North America.
In particular, this gentleman also died in the police station on the night of the day he surrendered due to heart paralysis.
- This newsworthy coincidence makes journalists feel like it's carnival.
They each speculated or fabricated the story of the two serial killers, even if the second serial killer was very clear about the reason why he surrendered -
"I also don't have much time, and when I saw the news about Billy Huntington, I thought it would be a good thing to let everyone know about it before I die—as for how to tell the public, it's up to you!"
- Are all serial killers so open-minded now?
While sighing in their hearts, the reporters immediately complied with Mr. Killer's instructions.
- Isn't it "how to tell the public, whatever we want"?
As a result, from scientific psychological analysis to various opinions in the field of occultism, the newspapers in North America in the past two days can be described as a group of demons dancing.
The box office performance of "Sherlock Holmes" was not only not affected, but rebounded against the trend under the effect of public curiosity, and on the third and fourth days, it won 49 million and 48 million respectively.
This exaggerated first-week box office result is also one of the best in the history of the North American box office.
So much so that some reporters even called the surrender of the two serial killers "the gift of Sherlock Holmes", saying that it was due to the release of "Sherlock Holmes".
Even, even the police spokesmen of some countries came to make fun -
In the United Kingdom, where "Sherlock Holmes" is about to be released, a police spokesman for New Scotland Yard said that they will be ready for the release of the movie;
In contrast, the French are a little more humorous, claiming that they are "ready......
Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is just an anecdote by the media, and the police in various countries are just making amusement.
But they don't know that it is precisely this "impossible" in their minds that is the real reason why things happen-
During the release of "Sherlock Holmes", Sherlock Holmes, who was summoned by Charlotte, has been going through the circle to help him find the serial killer who came to watch the movie.
Now, two have been killed in North America.
Although she didn't catch Jack the Ripper twice, Charlotte was really hitting the basis of the other party's existence-
As a god of serial killers, it is impossible for too many living people to truly "believe" in their existence.
"But, one or two more times, Jack is no longer attached to the killers, what should I do if I come to the cinema to watch your movie?"
Charlize directly pointed to a core problem,
"In that case, we still can't do anything about him, right?"
"You can't say there isn't a way. ”
Charlotte shook her head,
"However, that would be too much trouble—— so I hope I can catch Jack's tail next time!"
"Next time!?"
"Premiere in London, England!"
Charlotte explains,
"In Holmes's hometown, the premiere will naturally be grander, and I think at least there, Jack the Ripper will still show up!"
"Because that's Jack's hometown, too, isn't it?"
"Yes. ”
Charlotte nodded,
"This time, I'll definitely catch him!"
