screenwriter mystery

Chapter 35 Appraisal【Recommendation for collection】

"Can you tell me the purpose of your coming to town, sir?"

Although Zhao Yuan had already been removed from the list of suspects in his heart, he still had to ask what should be asked.

Amanda looked at the young Asian in front of her, and then asked.

Her eyes fell on the room through the half-closed wooden door, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Actually, I'm looking for inspiration."

"inspiration?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, the patrolman Robin couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"I'm a screenwriter and director."

"If you've seen the movie "The Blair Witch," you should know my name."

"The Blair Witch?"

Amanda couldn't help frowning when she heard the name of the movie that Zhao Yuan said. She turned her head to look at Robin with a searching look on her face.

Apparently the patrolman is not familiar with the movie side
Looking at Amanda's eyes, Robin quickly turned his head and introduced in a low voice.

"A popular horror film during this period is also very controversial in its promotional methods. It is said that the Maryland State Police Department has also been pressured because of the promotion of the film."

A horror movie was linked to the police in Maryland, which was obviously beyond Amanda's expectations.

However, listening to Robin's description, Amanda also basically confirmed that Zhao Yuan had nothing to do with the death of Old Johnson.

After all, a celebrity from Hollywood and a widow hunter from a small Texas frontier town have nothing to do with each other.

Even the most basic criminal chain cannot be formed.

"Sorry to bother you, sir."

Looking at Zhao Yuan with a blank face in front of her, Amanda nodded.

"I wish you a pleasant journey ahead."

"Could you tell me what happened, Inspector?"

Facing Amanda's polite reaction, Zhao Yuan immediately asked "curiously".

"A murder occurred in the forest near the town, and a hunter died in the woods."

Old Johnson's death had already spread throughout the town. Even if Amanda didn't say anything, I believe Zhao Yuan would know about it in a short time. Therefore, Amanda didn't cover up too much, and directly reported this death case. told him.

"That's really unfortunate."

Hearing that a death happened in the small town, Zhao Yuan's reaction was as shocked as that of ordinary people.

"I originally planned to find time to go for a walk in the forest."

"Unfortunately, sir, it seems that your plan may have to be slightly changed."

Because of the murder case, Amanda did not stay in the hostel for too long. After a brief inquiry and confirmed that the subject had nothing to do with the death of Old Johnson, she and Robin left in a hurry to investigate the next possible clue. search.

"Go back and confirm whether what the guests in the hotel said is true."

Of course, before the case is over, Amanda will not let go of any possibility.

Including Zhao Yuan, who has been basically excluded from the list of suspects.

"Actually, there is no need to go back and confirm."

Hearing Amanda's instruction, Robin took out his phone and entered the name of the movie "The Blair Witch".

Look at the movie poster that pops up on the interface and the name of the director and screenwriter linked below.

Robin clicked Alan Zhao's name casually, and handed the photo to Amanda.

"There are relevant information about him on the Internet. It seems that everything this Mr. Allen said is true."

"..."

Looking down at the phone screen in front of her, and then at Robin's rough face, Amanda's expression was a little inexplicable.

"My girlfriend gave it to me. It's said to be a new smartphone. Maybe you can try another one, boss."

"Forget it, I'm still used to using a simple mobile phone."

Shaking her head, Amanda decisively rejected Robin's suggestion.

She has never been very interested in these fancy things.

……

"Are you okay?"

Hostel, the door of Room 404.

After finishing the cameo 'scene', Zhao Yuan looked at the bearded man who was still standing at the door and didn't intend to leave, and couldn't help but signaled.

The two rightful masters have left, what are you still doing here as a trick.

"You're really a film director, from Hollywood, I mean, sir?"

Looking at Zhao Yuan in front of him, the expression on the face of the bearded man changed from his previous attitude, and he asked enthusiastically.

"This point, I think I have made it very clear to the patrolman just now."

Looking across the images of Amanda and Robin on the system screen in front of him, Zhao Yuan replied.

"This is the first time since I opened the hostel that a famous person like you has come to live here. I wonder if Mr. Can leave me an autograph before leaving?"

Putting most of his attention on the system, when he heard the bearded man's request, Zhao Yuan originally thought that he would deal with it casually and finish the matter.

But when the words came to his lips, he seemed to think of something, and reminded him suddenly.

"You seem to have forgotten something, boss?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's reminder, the expression on the bearded man's face froze for a moment, following his line of sight and looking down at his empty hands, it took him a while to react belatedly.

"I'm going to prepare sir right away!"

"Maybe, you can prepare some dishes other than the hidden menu."

Looking at the back of the bearded man, Zhao Yuan timely reminded him.

The voice from behind caused the expression on the face of the bearded man to collapse, and he struggled a bit in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and answered.

"Of course, sir."

Watching the back of the bearded man running away, Zhao Yuan nodded.

The script in the broken system panel evolved in an orderly manner to the next plot moment.

……

"How about the autopsy report?"

Emerging from the home of the subject of the next inquiry, Amanda received a call from the forensic doctor who was in charge of the autopsy on Johnson Sr.

"There were multiple skin tissue contusions on the body, a large number of bones inside the body showed obvious signs of fragmentation, and internal organs were bleeding extensively. The whole body seemed to have been hit by a small car. However, the most critical fatal The injury is still the paw print on the neck..."

"So, the deceased was attacked by wild beasts and died?"

If this is the case, then Amanda doesn't need to continue investigating.

"Actually, that's the weirdest thing about it to me."

On the phone, the forensic doctor's tone revealed obvious doubts.

"If it was just an attack by a wild beast, the wound shouldn't look like this. I compared the claws of the wild beast and the shape of the wounds of those who died under the attack of the wild beast. It didn't match the wounds on the deceased. This kind of wound The distribution of , on the contrary, looks like..."

"Like what?"

"Like being scratched with a finger..."
