Hollywood Road
Chapter 15
"Be careful in answering questions." Sitting behind a desk in an office of the LAPD, Murphy was still thinking about the lawyer''s advice on the phone, "be careful of the language traps in the police talk." When he left the TV station, Murphy met the police unexpectedly. He promised to help each other voluntarily. Then he came to the Los Angeles County police station. The current situation is entirely in Murphy''s imagination. It''s not panic for him to come and assist in the investigation. Besides, he has made enough preparations. After waiting for a while, the door was pushed open from the outside. A man and a woman, two police detectives Murphy knew, came in. They put down the folder and pen and sat opposite the table. Their expressions were not very good-looking, as if they were preparing to interrogate the prisoner. Murphy is calm enough, his lawyer is on the way, and the reporter sent by channel 6 Carla Firth to wait for the news is just outside the police station. At the end of the day, he''s just a free journalist who shoots news videos, not a criminal who breaks the law. "Your rights have been read to you before." The male detective was the first to say, "and you came here voluntarily, didn''t you?" "That''s right." Murphy nodded. "That''s it." "You know it''s going to be videotaped?" Hearing this, Murphy looked at the camera in the opposite corner and said, "of course! I saw that camera, and it was a wide-angle shot. " The male detective seemed to be stimulated by this. He stopped his hand to open the papers, changed into a serious posture, and said, "Why are you at Beverly Hills and morz pizza tonight? And called the police? " He looked into Murphy''s eyes as if he wanted to see through everything. "I''m a freelance journalist, and my main places of work are Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills." The other person''s eyes were obviously beating. What Murphy said was the basic truth. He knew that if he wanted to pass the test, most of what he said must be true and could stand the test. "I went out of the city center tonight and first went to the West Hollywood area. While waiting for the news in a middle-class community over there, I suddenly found a man staring at me in a car by the side of the road. ”Murphy seems to be explaining the fact, "at the beginning, I didn''t pay much attention to it, but after driving around the middle-class community for a period of time, I found that the car and the person suddenly followed me. I felt that things were wrong and I dumped them." The two detectives were expressionless. "As I was about to leave the community, I saw the car again from a distance." Murphy''s tone was steady. "I''m curious why they want to follow me, so I followed them from a distance. I didn''t walk out too far. There was another person in the car outside Beverly Hills. I looked at them a little familiar, but I couldn''t remember where I saw them." The policewoman glanced at the male detective and saw the same suspicion from the other person''s eyes. "I''m not very good at driving and I''ve been so far away from them to avoid being found out. When I got into Ronald Avenue, I lost them." Murphy always adds a falsehood to most of the truth: "I''m curious why the car followed me before, but I still have work to do, so I''m going to give up pursuing the truth." He coughed softly. "Unexpectedly, I went straight down Ronald Avenue and saw the car at the intersection of seventh street. The two men just got out of the car and went into the pizza shop." "Did you confirm that they were murderers?" Asked the detective. "No, no, I just feel a little bit like the figure." Murphy shook his head, then said, "but when one of them came into the restaurant, I saw the gun under his clothes, and I knew it was them!" The policewoman detective suddenly said, "you said before that you didn''t see their faces clearly." "I didn''t really see their faces," Murphy said, spreading out her hand. "It''s so dark, but I can take down a person''s body shape, judge by their body shape and the way they walk, and they carry Guns Murphy shrugged. "As you know, many people can judge a person by his body shape and gait, so I took out my mobile phone and called the police immediately." "This is your story?" he said "That''s the truth!" Murphy said unquestionably, "that''s why I came here on my own initiative to reflect the situation to you at that time!" He added, "I think the two men probably saw the news video I shot, tracked me down and prepared to do something to me." Murphy''s sitting here, honest like a baby. "It''s wonderful." The male detective made no secret of the sarcasm on his face. "Do you want to know what I think of it?" "Of course." Murphy nodded and said, "please say it." "I think you''re hiding the news. I think you saw the two men who committed the crime on bill road." The male detective stood up and said condescensively, "you also saw the car, and then hide it, in order to get the material you want to shoot."He stared at Murphy. "Is that so?" "It''s a wonderful story, but it''s not true." Murphy did not shy away from looking at the male detective, "I''m a responsible Los Angeles citizen, and I won''t do such a thing. It''s also against my professional ethics. " The male detective leaned over, "you''re killing people!" "You have colleagues who are seriously injured. I understand why you think so, but it''s not true." Murphy was still calm. "I didn''t do it, and my professional ethics didn''t allow me to do such a wrong thing." "Don''t try to deceive me." The detective was in a bit of a mood. "I never wanted to cheat you." Murphy looked at him. "You know what I said is true." "I think all your words are lies!" The male detective pressed his hands on the table and leaned down to oppress Murphy with momentum. "You are a liar who will do anything to achieve his goal!" Murphy looked at him without blinking. The detective said again, "you took these pictures and sold them all!" "What I do is a journalist." Murphy naturally said, "this is my duty. My duty tells me that I can''t ignore such news, let alone let the public miss such news. They have the right to know the news." "You..." The detective''s hand was raised. "We''ll make you pay..." The policewoman gave him a hand. The policewoman subconsciously looked at the camera behind him and swallowed half the words he didn''t say. Murphy is still very calm sitting opposite them. The two detectives were not stupid either. They knew that they had met a tough opponent. He was thoughtful, stable and very difficult to deal with. Most importantly, they don''t have any evidence to prove that the other person is lying. In Los Angeles, there are surveillance videos on many main roads. In the videos and pictures they can access, the driving route of the black Ford car is exactly the same as that of the guy opposite. Fox TV channel 6 is eyeing the police station. Without evidence, they can''t take too much action. The reporters of channel 6 are just outside the police station. They want to make some excessive actions. Before long, Murphy''s lawyer Robert arrived at the police station. Murphy, as a person who came to assist in the investigation, Robert did not have much effort to go through the formalities with the police. When the day was full of light, Murphy and his lawyer had walked out of the police station with integrity. "Thank you, Robert." In the parking lot in front of the police station, Murphy shook hands with Robert to say goodbye. "This incident made me realize the importance of a professional like you. As a witness, I almost suffered unfair treatment from the police." "I will protest to the police." Robert shook hands with Murphy and reminded, "if there''s any trouble in the back, remember to call me the first time." Murphy nodded. "I will." In order to avoid the tragedy of his predecessor, Murphy spared no effort to hire Robert, a well-known lawyer, after he had a stable income. If you want to live a more stable and decent life in this country, it is essential to have your own lawyer. Just got into his car, Murphy''s mobile phone rang, he did not look, directly answered, "Hello, this is Murphy Stanton." "Murphy, it''s me, Carla." Opposite is a slightly tired female voice, "how, did the police embarrass you?" "A little bit." Murphy replied calmly, "but I''ve dealt with it all." Perhaps the videos provided in the last two days have actually improved the audience rating. Kara on the other end of the phone rarely shows concern, "don''t relax your vigilance, especially don''t do anything that makes the police feel sensitive recently." Murphy nodded. "I know. It''s too late for me to avoid them." There are so many things happened in the past two days. Murphy is very clear that he must be on the blacklist of the Los Angeles police. The other party has no evidence about this matter, and there is nothing he can do about it. However, if he lets them grasp the pain, he will certainly settle the new accounts together with the old ones. After hanging up with Carla, Murphy went over the recent incident and confirmed that there was no omission. Then she started the car and drove away from the parking lot. In the eyes of many people, this is certainly not worth it, but Murphy has no regrets at all. Any process of capital condensation has never been smooth sailing and is always full of hardships. If a little person like him, who has little sense of existence, wants to get a lot of start-up funds, he must use some extraordinary means. Besides, this is America, not the other side of the Pacific where he was born and raised. Murphy never had a universal saint. Back home, Murphy did not rest, but endured fatigue and sleepiness, went to the bank first, and cashed a $30000 and a $100000 check into his bank account. With money in hand, Murphy also knows that he still needs to deal with the tax bureau. He has offended the LAPD, but he doesn''t want to provoke the tax bureau.This aspect of the matter can be handled by lawyers, and it is far from the tax season, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. In addition, in the following days, Murphy met with lawyer Robert several times and asked the opposite party to ask for a reward of $100000 from the Los Angeles police department. [it''s going to be 515 soon. I hope it will continue to hit the red envelope list of 515. On May 15, the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and publicity works. A piece of love, certainly better! 】
