Chapter 51 Su Fan: What is going on? The news on TV was obviously talking about the crew that Hathaway was in. If Elizabeth had just left the crew and stayed out of it, she wouldn't have fallen into Freddy's hands. If you don't do it, you won't die. The young people in the crew were half dead after all that torture. It's not surprising that Elizabeth, an old woman, couldn't hold on any longer and died. But this director is also unlucky. For some unknown reason, he became the first suspect and was taken away for investigation. Although it will be out soon, the filming has to be temporarily suspended. The director himself may become the number one culprit for delaying the filming progress. I don’t know if he still has the face to scold Annie for this after reworking it.
"Your dry martini, your screwdriver..." Soon, two glasses of wine were placed in front of Su Fan and Jamie. The two of them clinked their glasses and started talking. "The detective seems to have some good news recently. He was in a good mood when I last saw him." "Well, I solved a cult case some time ago and received a commendation from the higher-ups. I've gained a foothold in the Los Angeles Police Department." "Cult?" When Jamie heard about this factor, he guessed something. "Su, are you involved too?" "The criminals had a very deep plan, and it's hard for the detectives to handle it alone. And the victim was a lady who was very nice to me." "They are not some evil cult, but two witches who know folk magic, plus a murderer disguised as a minor. They are very troublesome." "So many things have happened in less than a month..." Su Fan just glossed over these things when he talked about them, but Jamie didn't think things were that simple. The latter then realized that Su Fan came here to deal with Freddy almost immediately after solving the previous case. "Thank you for taking the trouble to come to my rescue, Su. I toast to you with this glass." Jamie raised his glass in greeting and took a long swig. Su Fan looked at the other party's clumsy behavior, chuckled, shook his head, and took a sip of wine. After his eyes swept around the bar aimlessly, they stopped on a decadent young man. If he was not mistaken, this guy should be Edward Furlong... There was another table drinking alone, with a beard that looked like a homeless man, and he looked like Keanu Reeves...
Su Fan turned his head and looked at Jamie. "The tavern you chose is very good." "is it?" Jamie scratched his head. "As long as you like it, Su." Su Fan felt that this tavern was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If we stay a little longer, will there be a battle between the Elf Prince and Justin Bieber? I forgot, that was almost ten years later... In his previous life, Su Fan often watched movies when he had nothing to do, and that's how he acquired his rich collection of horror films. Therefore, he also knows a lot about movie stars in Europe and America. By the way, as his cultivation level improved, Su Fan’s memories of his previous life became clearer and clearer. That was one of the few times when my memory was confused. Wait a moment…… A sudden idea came to Su Fan's mind. The first news broadcast on TV just now seemed to be about a similar situation in my memory. In Su Fan’s previous life, there was a very famous horror film series, Final Destination. It tells the story of a group of people who, due to some strange coincidence, did not die when they should have, and were hunted down by the god of death. The protagonist and survivors in the film racked their brains to break the cycle of death, but all failed without exception. Even if you managed to escape the first round of pursuit, the second round would follow. The despair and panic that surrounded you at all times were very impressive. But the survivors in the film are only a few members of the protagonist team. This time the flight was cancelled, and there were nearly a hundred people on the entire plane. Will they all die? While Su Fan was thinking, his fingers tapped lightly on the table. No, it would be too presumptuous to conclude now that death has come. In my previous life in China, there was similar news where a woman made a scene before takeoff, causing the flight to be cancelled. But if that’s the case, how do you explain that sudden impulse just now? While Su Fan was thinking, Jamie's cell phone suddenly rang. "Hello, who is it?" Jamie grabbed the phone and answered it, speaking casually.
"Jamie? Where are you now? Can you contact Sue?" Jamie's familiar voice came from the other end of the line. It's a detective. There was a hint of irritation and hesitation in the latter's voice. "Su he just solved a troublesome matter, and now he is relaxing with me in the pub...what happened?" "Is this another supernatural event?" Jamie glanced at Su Fan and lowered his voice. "Listen Detective, I know that kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can deal with, and Sue is the only one you can turn to for help in this regard." "But this is not the right time..." "What are you thinking about? It's not a haunting!" The sheriff sighed and then began to talk in a rambling manner. Jamie kept nodding, but after hearing the latter part, his expression became a little speechless. Soon after, the sheriff on the other end of the line sighed. "This is what happened. Please find a suitable time to tell Su." "You really know how to pick the time. Why don't you just say it yourself?" "Su he doesn't have a cell phone, I contacted you just to give it a try..." After hanging up the phone, Jamie sighed and was thinking about how to start the conversation when he heard Su Fan take the initiative to speak. "What happened to the detective? Is there another ghost?" "No...actually..." After Su Fan listened to Jamie's brief narration, his expression became a little strange. The person who got into trouble was not the detective, but one of his patrolmen named Carl Gallagher. That’s right, it was the white guy who rushed down with the detective during the voodoo wizard incident. The latter is independent-minded, courageous, and has a strong sense of justice. It also left a good impression on Su Fan. But these days, he encountered a troublesome thing. The southern community where Carl lives is a mixed crowd, including many immigrants from other countries. Two days before his break, Carl bumped into an old Asian man who was holding a Buddha statue. The result, of course, was that the Buddha statue was damaged and Carl was asked to pay compensation.
Faced with this obvious scam, Carl wanted to ignore it, but as luck would have it, the community had newly installed cameras for the sake of public security. Officer Carl was in big trouble now and could only negotiate with the other party with a pinch of his nose. Who would have thought that the Asian old man claimed that his Buddha statue was priceless and asked for a huge sum of $300 million! Even a fool can figure out that this is extortion. But the other party was obviously well prepared. Not only did they preserve the physical evidence at the first possible moment and make the matter known to everyone, they even produced relevant identification certificates. In this situation, even if Carl had any crooked ideas, he couldn't use them. He could only ask for help from Su Fan, who ran an antique shop, and ask for help in identifying the value of the Buddha statue and exposing the other party's scam. Su Fan: What is going on?
