Hollywood Road
Chapter 12
"Bang!"
The sound of the gun came from the stereo of the notebook. Murphy looked at the screen. The two black people on the screen jumped into the car and left without panic. They didn''t look like the new robbers in a hurry.
This is the video that Murphy cut out last night. The police just announced a reward of 100000 dollars. If you hand in this video, you will probably get 100000 dollars.
With the $30000 he''s got, Murphy can make $130000 with this news video!
For ordinary people, it''s a huge sum of money, but for Murphy, who wants to start a career in the film industry, it''s really not a lot of money.
There is no end to greed. Murphy is no exception. He wants more.
Therefore, in his plan, he never thought of giving the video to the police, but prepared to direct a good play himself.
After careful consideration, Murphy already has the right script framework, excellent starring, and acting as a director and photographer in person. As long as he chooses a suitable venue, this good play can start shooting.
This is a very rare opportunity to direct, a chance that neither Steven Spielberg nor James Cameron will have!
For the black man and Murphy, the two best images of the black man and the black man sitting in the front of the car are the two best images of the black man and Murphy.
It will also be Murphy''s first play planned, filmed and produced.
Murphy is very cautious. He doesn''t want to mess up his first chance as a director, because he may pay the price of his life!
When the video is played to the close-up of the car, Murphy presses the pause button, and the picture stops at the rear of the car, with the license plate number clearly visible.
Write down the license plate number. Murphy opens Google''s search page, finds the relevant official website in the United States, opens the link, selects California, and then enters the license plate number. Just as he told Carla Firth in the morning, in this information age, let alone the name of the person, as long as there is a license plate number, you can also find enough information.
Seeing the car owner registration information displayed on the screen, Murphy showed a smile. The information may not be accurate. The car he saw last night may have been stolen by black people. But this matter needs to take a chance, and no one can guarantee that the play will develop in the direction he imagined as a director.
It''s good to find the person who was last night. If not, Murphy can pretend to think of the license plate number, provide clues to the police and offer a reward.
After making sure that his head was firmly fixed on these things, Murphy completely removed the video and Internet traces and waited patiently.
The sun fell below the horizon, the night once again shrouded Los Angeles, the city of angels covered up in the light of the other side of the show, some of the day is difficult to see criminal activities and violent elements began to active.
Murphy was out in the dark.
The black Ford car looks like a ghost under the cover of night. After leaving downtown Los Angeles, it soon came to Bennett road in West Hollywood. The houses here are hidden under tall trees, and mainly independent houses constitute a typical American middle-class community.
It''s not as cluttered as the city center, nor as quiet as the Santa Monica valley. There are quite a lot of vehicles coming and going on the community roads, but it seems orderly.
Murphy slowed down and looked around for the address he wanted.
After turning around for more than half an hour, Murphy finally saw the address on the Internet. It was a white independent building. In front of the building, there was a flat lawn. On the side of the road, there was a neat iron fence. Just below the iron fence, there was a black car.
After watching the video so many times, Murphy recognized it at a glance. It was definitely the one last night.
Driving past the independent house, after a turn, Murphy returned to the neighborhood, chose a roadside parking space, and focused on the house and the car.
So far, he has been lucky enough and everything is moving in the direction set.
The two black people last night probably didn''t want to give up the good car, or they thought that they had done it secretly enough. They obviously didn''t mean to deal with the car, so they parked it carelessly on the side of the road.
Of course, if you look at the news from the police and TV stations, they must be very safe.
Murphy was sure that the two blacks would not think that there was a poisonous snake behind them, waiting for the opportunity to bite them.
However, the car was not in the hands of the two black people, and Murphy couldn''t be sure, so he had enough patience to try his luck.
In the past year, the God of fate seems to have played a big joke on Murphy. It''s time for him to turn his luck.
This idea in Murphy''s mind is fleeting, encounter last night''s thing really has the element of luck, but more is he bold and careful, dare to seize any opportunity!Under the cover of night, Murphy sat in the car and waited for nearly an hour. The door of the independent house was finally pushed open, and a man in a white striped coat came out.
The man was tall and strong, with no hair on his bare forehead, and his dark skin was perfectly integrated with the night.
"Is the play about to begin?"
Even Murphy didn''t notice it. The corner of his mouth tilted up. This black man is one in the video!
The black man walked out of the yard. It seemed that he habitually looked around. After confirming that there was no abnormality around, he opened the door of the black car, went up, started the car and drove slowly forward.
When the black car drove a distance, Murphy stepped on the accelerator and followed. There were other vehicles on the road, and the distance between the two sides was quite long. Until he left the community, the other side didn''t find that there was a deadly ghost behind him.
Murphy is brave enough to track such a murderer who may be carrying a gun, but he is also careful enough to always control the distance between the two sides, so as not to make the black people aware of the existence of the stalker.
Maybe it''s really a lack of brain capacity, or maybe it''s because he doesn''t think he''s in any danger at all. The black man didn''t realize Murphy''s existence. He went to the self-service gas station to refill the gas, and then stopped in front of a gray independent house outside Beverly Hills.
Murphy stopped a hundred feet away, and subconsciously looked at the hand-held camera on the front passenger''s bracket. He felt an impulse to turn on the camera for shooting. After all, he installed the bracket to shoot on the road.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Murphy gave up the impulse. Now is not the time to shoot.
The black car stopped in front of the gray house. The black man in the car didn''t get off. About two minutes later, a man flashed out of the door of the gray house, and Murphy''s eyes immediately turned to him.
Although it''s a little far away and the light is not very good, Murphy confirmed according to the appearance that this is another black murderer in the video!
"Good luck today!"
Seeing the second fat black man get into the car, Murphy can''t help saying to himself that things are going much better than he expected.
As a director and photographer appointed by himself, of course, he won''t let the two best actors act alone. After the black car started again, Murphy kept up with it.
The plot goes along the set direction more smoothly than expected, but Murphy, the photographer, has not started shooting, and the camera on the co pilot''s bracket is always turned off.
Now, Murphy''s mind is more and more calm. If she wants to shoot enough wonderful pictures, she needs not only excellent directors and actors, but also suitable venues and equally excellent background paintings.
Now the conditions for the latter two cannot be met at all.
After driving on the main road, Murphy was a little bit farther away. After all, he was not a professional. When he passed a traffic light, he almost lost the black car in front of him. Fortunately, he was so lucky tonight that after turning a corner, he found that the target vehicle had slowed down and the distance between the two sides was getting closer. He could vaguely see the black man on the co driver facing the side of the road The restaurant seems to be looking for a place to eat.
Here we have entered Beverly Hills, surrounded by chain restaurants. The biggest feature of these restaurants is that the side facing the road is almost transparent glass wall, and people outside can see the specific situation inside at a glance.
Seeing these restaurants surrounded by transparent glass walls, Murphy very much hopes that the car in front of him can stop and the two black people inside hurry to eat, because this is the most suitable location for the movie he wants to direct.
As he was about to drive out of the restaurant lined Road, the car in front of him suddenly turned into the alley on the right side of the road, which was completely beyond Murphy''s expectation. Because the distance between the two sides was not far, the other side was extremely dangerous. He did not dare to follow him. When he reached the corner, he had to continue to drive forward.
When the Ford car passed through the alley, Murphy glanced over. The black car stopped. Two black people were getting out of the car. He speeded up. After driving a certain distance, he turned around and drove back.
The two black people walked into the chain pizza shop on one side of the alley. Through the transparent glass curtain wall of the shop, Murphy could see that they seemed to be ordering a meal, and quickly parked their car on the opposite side of the shop, which was a good place for shooting.
Looking at the hand-held camera next to him, Murphy didn''t move, but first took out his mobile phone.
In the store, two black people have already sat down. They should be preparing for a big meal. Murphy is sure they won''t leave for the time being. He opens the flip of his mobile phone and presses three numbers - 9! 1! 1!
He, the director, is going to call the police and let the police, the other main character of the play, appear on the stage!
