Chapter 11

"This is the second time you've got the headlines this week."

Sitting in the card seat of the restaurant, Carla put down her knife and fork. "I don't know what to say."

Murphy swallowed the last mouthful of food, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm studying shooting recently. When shooting, if the shooting is good, it can not only attract the audience's attention, but also make the vision stay for a long time, so that the subject and the location can be integrated."

These are not only useful for current work, but also useful if you can enter Hollywood.

Carla was somewhat surprised. "You're a very motivated young man."

"You're too old for that, aren't you?" Murphy laughed. "You're only 26 years old, and you look like you're only 20 years old."

Women like to listen to this kind of compliment, and Carla is no exception. But after this period of contact, she knows that there is a young man with strong purpose and complicated mind in front of her. With a slight frown, she deliberately asks, "you want to pursue me when you speak so well?"

"Do you think we are fit?" Murphy asked.

Carla looked at him, but did not speak, as if trying to see through the real purpose of Murphy's invitation.

"You are capable, beautiful and sexy..." Murphy's eyes specially swept from Carla's tall and exquisite figure. "When she was wearing professional clothes, she had an attractive temperament and was a very good one night stand partner."

Without waiting for Carla to respond, he said, "if you want to have a relationship with me that goes beyond friendship and does not involve love, I'll raise my hands to welcome you. If you're a girlfriend, forget it. Few men can stand your working hours."

"Murphy," Carla asked, not angry, "come on, what's the point of looking for me? Isn't it just for making these silly jokes? "

"I think this news should continue to be tracked." Murphy thought about it and said, "the news has been broadcast. I think the police will come to me soon. I need your cooperation in some places."

In order to ratings, Kara will not give up this news, "as long as there is no court injunction, the police station can not take the TV station, I will continue to chase."

Murphy nodded, only if the TV station is willing to continue digging, his actions behind will be more valuable, otherwise he will lose a lot of income.

"That's all you came to me for?" Carla is a little strange. She won't miss the news anyway.

"Yes, I just want your confirmation." Murphy took a sip from her glass and said, "I'm afraid you can't stand the pressure of the police and give up like the long beach serial homicide two years ago."

"Now I am not what I used to be."

at that time, she was too young, far more insistent on journalistic morality than she is now, and her character was weaker. Carla asked in surprise, "how did you know that?"

"There's something called the Internet." Murphy raised her finger and pointed at her in the space. "There are several emerging search websites. As long as you enter your name, you will see some things you have done. You don't even need your name. As long as you have the license plate number or social welfare number, you can find your contact information and detailed address."

In this era, the Internet in North America is developing much faster than that on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Even Murphy found that he could not look at the Internet industry in North America from the perspective of the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The only comfort for Murphy after experiencing so much suffering in North America is that the flow of information far exceeds that of the same period on the other side.

"I didn't expect you to use the Internet," Carragher said sarcastically

"Of course! I learned a lot through the Internet. " Murphy said half truely, "I just took a business marketing course."

Kara believes 80% of Murphy's words. What she sees is a person who knows how to work hard. Such a person is also worth appreciating.

So, she asked tentatively, "I have a job in my program team. Are you interested?"

This kind of position has stable income and corresponding benefits. It's a career that many people want. Kara recognizes Murphy's ability to work, which is the olive branch.

"No!" Murphy shook his head directly. "I won't stay in the news for long, and I don't want to change our relationship from a collaborator to a subordinate."

"You want to change careers?"

After listening to Carla's question, Murphy nodded solemnly, but didn't say much. In his current position, it's just a joke to say that he has become a celebrity in Hollywood.

After leaving the restaurant, Murphy said goodbye to Carla and drove to downtown Los Angeles. His mind is still filtering everything that happened from last night to now. This is undoubtedly the best chance for him to earn the first pot of money. As long as he has enough start-up funds, his film plan can be implemented.

Like everyone else, the first step and the first pot of gold are always the hardest.

Murphy recalled the preliminary plan made last night. If the police acted in the usual way, they would have unlimited opportunities, and they could control the development of the incident as a leader. To make an inappropriate analogy, he would be the director of the whole play!Think of here, Murphy's spirit is a boost, this is really a good opportunity to be a director, director may also be a real hot drama!

He's going to be a director and photographer, and the police and two black murderers are the stars

Back at home, simply wash, temporarily put down these thoughts, Murphy fell asleep, but did not sleep long, was awakened by the aggressive knock on the door.

"Just a moment!"

He picked up a towel and simply wiped his face. He looked through the cat's eye. Then he opened the door. There were two middle-aged white men and a woman outside.

One of the men looked at him and asked, "are you Murphy Stanton?"

Seeing Murphy nodding, he took out his badge and identification and introduced himself, "I'm detective Collins of the Los Angeles police department. This is detective Sarah."

"Come in, please."

Murphy put them on the sofa in the room. After they sat down, Murphy asked, "do you need coffee?"

"No more."

The two men were obviously middle-aged men. He waved his hand and went straight to the subject, "you went to bill road in Santa Monica Valley last night, right?"

"Yes."

With Murphy's affirmative response, the middle-aged man stood up and walked to the portable video camera on the table. "Did you take a picture of the house?"

Murphy had expected that the police would come and nodded happily, "yes, I shot it."

"You went into other people's houses and photographed everywhere," the male detective turned back to face Murphy, folded his arms and said sternly, "you even photographed the body of the victim before the police arrived!"

Before he came here, if a policeman showed such an attitude, Murphy would be in a panic. But more than a year of training has been enough to keep him calm and calm.

"The doors of the manor and the house are open."

It's true. Murphy's words are true and false. "I passed bill road and heard gunshots inside. I wanted to go in and see if I could help."

"You went to the crime scene!" The male detective kept a close eye on him.

After learning that someone broke into the house ahead of time, the police also suspected that it might be the murderer, but they quickly rejected it.

Although there is no road monitoring in the residential area, the video taken from the main road in the Valley shows that the guy opposite was still driving towards Beverly Hills when the victim called the police.

"I didn't know at first that it was a crime scene." Murphy spread out his arms. "I think someone is in trouble. As a law-abiding, professional and enthusiastic Los Angeles citizen, I think I should go and have a look. Maybe I can help people in trouble."

Male detective's eyes are more and more sharp, "you took the scene and sold it to the TV station."

"I am a person with professional ethics, engaged in professional news video collection work." Murphy took it for granted, "it's my job."

In addition to breaking into a private house, Murphy didn't do anything excessive, and all the people in the house died. Who will be held responsible for this?

Murphy knew that the two detectives were bluffing and were not afraid of them. Besides, he had expected such a situation and prepared for it.

The policewoman then stood up and went to the man, patted him on the back, and asked in a softer tone, "Mr. Stanton, do you see anything special?"

In the words of the other side of the ocean, this is a typical "white face" and "black face".

"Yes!" Murphy nodded.

The eyes of the two detectives lit up at the same time.

"What's the situation?" The policewoman's attitude is better.

"Two men left in a car." Murphy thought, "it should be two blacks."

The policewoman asked, "did you see them?"

"It's just a hazy appearance. It was dark at that time, and I was afraid to get close to it." Murphy thought hard, "the car is a black or other dark car. Two black people are tall and should have bald heads."

"Can you be more specific?"

People with such physical conditions can find at least tens of thousands in Los Angeles, "such as height, shape, tattoos, scars."

"I'm sorry." Murphy pretended to be helpless and said, "it's too dark, and they are too dark. It's unrealistic to see a black man in that light."

Two detectives are also very helpless, in the light of the night is very poor, want to see the black appearance, really too difficult.

But they didn't give up. The male detective asked, "didn't you take these pictures?"

Murphy shook his head without hesitation. "No, I started shooting when I entered the room."

The policewoman, seeing that she couldn't find anything more useful, said, "we need a video you took."

"No problem." Murphy took them into the studio, copied one from a laptop, handed it to two detectives and said, "if I can think of something valuable, I'll contact the police."Although they have a certain skepticism, Murphy's positive attitude of cooperation still dispels some doubts of the two detectives. After they get the video, they leave here soon.

After closing the door, Murphy went back to work, sat in front of his laptop and checked the latest news. In the middle of the afternoon, the police finally announced a heavyweight reward.

The L.A. police offered a $100000 reward for the case last night!
