Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 239 A shocking case
Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!
At around two o'clock in the morning, the cell phone on the counter suddenly rang.

Link opened his eyes, stood up and hung up the phone to avoid disturbing Monica and Liu Xiaoli who were still sleeping.

He glanced at the phone number and walked into the small living room in his pajamas.

"Jon, what's going on?"

The caller was Jon Gordon, head of publicity.

"Boss, something happened. I think it's a good thing. We can take advantage of it."

"what's up?"

"I just received news that a homicide was discovered in the Brentwood Villa area half an hour ago. There are two victims, a man and a woman. The female victim is Nicole Brown, the ex-wife of Orenthal James Simpson, and the male victim is said to be her friend. The crime scene is right in front of the Simpson Villa."

"Simpson?"

When talking about top black basketball stars, many people will think of Jordan, Tyson, and Johnson, but in the 1980s and 1990s, when rugby was at its peak, Simpson was the most famous star in North American sports, a superstar whose fame and status were comparable to Yao Ming's in China.

If such a person is involved in a murder case, it will definitely be big news.

"Jon, how do you want to use it?"

"The police suspected that the two had an affair in the villa and were attacked by the murderer. I planned to bribe the police and write 'lust' on the scene. This incident involves the big star Simpson, so it will definitely attract a lot of attention afterwards. We can use this case to hype up 'Seven Deadly Sins', and the effect may be very good."

Link nodded. He knew better than anyone how great the influence of the Simpson murder case was. If this case could be utilized, "Seven Deadly Sins" would indeed gain a lot of popularity in a short period of time.

But doing so is also quite risky. Once discovered by the police, the court will sue them for perjury and disrupting judicial order, and they may be fined tens of thousands of dollars for this crime.

Tens of thousands of dollars?

Link stroked his chin, it seemed like this could be done.

Simpson's murder case was the most sensational news event in the United States in the 1990s and also the largest case in American history where a person was found innocent without doubt.

This case will also attract national attention during the trial and investigation, and its popularity will be no less than those major events in American history.

If "Seven" could catch up with the popularity of this case, it would probably become known to everyone in less than a week.

The only thing worth worrying about is that after this matter is exposed, he will easily be criticized by the media, who will accuse him of doing everything possible to hype the movie and make money.

"You can try it."

After finishing the call, Link went back to his bedroom and continued to sleep.

But before I could close my eyes, the phone rang again.

Link could only let go of the beautiful girl in his arms and get up again to answer the phone. On the phone, Jon Gordon told him in an excited tone that there was no need to bribe the police to do this.

When the police searched the scene, they found a bloody word "greed" on the wall.

"real or fake?"

This is too much of a coincidence. Link has reason to suspect that this was done by Jon Gordon. In order to promote the movie, this guy acted first and asked someone to write on the spot first and then called to ask for his opinion.

"The source of the information is very reliable. At first, the police didn't notice it because it was too dark in the yard. Later, someone turned on the car lights and found a line of letters on the wall. It said 'greed'. The police have taken pictures of the bloody words and are going to use them as evidence to investigate the murderer's motive."

"Is that so?"

If true, this would be top-notch hype material.

With the popularity of the Simpson murder case, "Seven" will also be known to the whole world.

If done properly, it can save a lot of advertising costs.

Link discussed the publicity with Jon Gordon for a few minutes, and after they had finalized the matter, they lay back down on the bed.

"Who made the call?"

Monica was woken up and asked while lying on his chest.

"Jon Gordon, something unexpected happened, but it might be a good thing." Link put his arm around her shoulders and returned to her arms.

The next day, the media was full of news about the case. From television to newspapers to radio, every media outlet was rushing to report the news.

The Los Angeles Times was the first to report details of the case.

The incident occurred at around 10 o'clock in the evening at the villa of football star Simpson, a wealthy area in western Los Angeles.

At around eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the neighbor's dog barked at the Simpson Villa. The neighbors came out to check and found two bodies lying on the corridor in front of the villa, with blood flowing from the front porch to the street in front of the door.

The female victim was Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of football star OJ Simpson, and the male corpse was her friend Ron Goldman.

The two men were stabbed dozens of times and died in a very tragic way.

The neighbors then called the police.

At around 1:00 a.m., four Los Angeles police officers arrived at the scene and found blood stains on OJ Simpson's white Ford Mustang outside the door and on the driveway.

When no one answered the bell, the detectives climbed over the wall and found a blood-stained glove in the back garden. Police officer Costa found the word "Greed" on the wall at the crime scene.

In addition, a driver from a car rental company confirmed that at around ten o'clock that night, he drove to the villa next to the crime scene to pick up Simpson. He rang the doorbell but no one answered. At around eleven o'clock, he saw a tall black man running back into the house from next door and rang the doorbell again. Simpson responded and claimed that he was asleep and did not hear it. Then he took a car to the airport and flew to Chicago.

Based on various clues, the police targeted the black football star Simpson.

On the day of the incident, the mainstream media in North America reported the incident, causing a great sensation and heated discussion across the United States.

There are three main highlights of this case.

First, the suspect in the case, Simpson, is the most famous black sports star in the United States.

Simpson won the title of Most Valuable Player of the American Football League for three consecutive years, was selected to the NFL All-Star team five times, and was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985. He is more famous than "Air Jordan" and boxing champion Tyson, and is a superstar in the sports world.

A superstar being involved in a murder case is undoubtedly a very hot topic.

The second highlight is the gossip involved in this case. The deceased was Simpson's ex-wife. The two divorced in 92 and still lived in an estate after the divorce. Before their deaths, the two watched their children's performances at school.

The other male victim was Lang Goldman, a waiter in the restaurant and also a friend of Nicole Brown. It was said that Nicole Brown was having dinner in the restaurant that day and left her glasses in the restaurant. Lang Goldman came to the villa to return the glasses, and then both of them met with misfortune.

Many people suspected that the two were having an affair and were caught by Simpson.

Simpson was so angry that he killed the two men.

The third highlight is the bloody word "greed" found by the police at the scene.

The recent movie "Seven Deadly Sins" was a hit in major theaters in North America, earning $5103 million at the box office for two consecutive weeks. Many people have seen this movie.

The murder method used by the murderer in this movie is exactly the same as the murders that occurred in Simpson's mansion.

After killing someone, the murderer would write the seven sins recorded in "Paradise Lost" at the scene, namely "gluttony", "greed", "sloth", "jealousy", "pride", "lust" and "anger".

The presence of "greed" at this crime scene is highly likely due to the murderer imitating John Doe's modus operandi after watching "Seven Deadly Sins", or paying tribute to it.

At the end of Seven, John Doe once said to Detective Mills and Old William in the car, "I have set an example. What I have done will surely cause people to think, study, and imitate, forever!"

The murderer in this case may be imitating John Doe's methods.

But many people don't understand why the word is 'greed' instead of 'lust'. If Nicole Brown and Lang Goldman were caught having an affair in the villa and the murderer couldn't bear it and killed them both with the seven deadly sins, then it would be more reasonable to write 'lust'.

However, some people explained that after Nicole Brown and Simpson divorced, she received tens of millions of dollars and a mansion, and continued to ask Simpson for alimony after the divorce.

From this perspective, it is reasonable to punish Nicole in the name of "greed".

Now all we have to do is figure out whether Simpson has seen Seven and whether the bloody words on the wall are his handwriting.

If so, Simpson is 100% the murderer.

Without waiting for the court to open, the spectators began to make judgments online.
