American Scandal King

Chapter 67: Whipping the Corpse Is Good News

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Los Angeles Herald owner Ian Carr was robbed!"

"Mr. Ian Carr made a desperate counterattack."

"For more details, please see today's Los Angeles Herald!"

The streets and alleys of Los Angeles are full of newspaper boys shouting and selling their goods.

For a while, people on the streets and alleys paid money to buy newspapers.

The huge bloody pictures in the newspaper stimulated the audience's adrenaline, especially the picture of the young man in a suit and tie continuing to shoot at the dead man who had already fallen to the ground. It was so exciting that everyone shouted that it was exciting.

"Ha, this Ian Karl is really ruthless. He actually killed two robbers directly?"

"This isn't the first time he's done this."

"But this time he did it with a gun to his head."

"Are you sure he's a reporter and not a special forces soldier?"

People were talking about it everywhere.

Of course, some people also questioned why a newspaper owner and a gold medal reporter would have such an awesome reaction and such good shooting skills?

Want to know the answer?
Simple, buy a newspaper.

At the end of the news it says: If you want to know the specific process, please see more content released by WND News Network tomorrow.

The audience started cursing, "Fuck! Can't he just release them all at once? What a damn profiteer!"

........................

Los Angeles Herald.

When Ian walked out of the company gate, he was surrounded by reporters.

People kept taking pictures of him.

I hate these damn paparazzi, you have no respect for human rights at all!
Ian held up his hat to shield his face and squeezed out of the crowd.

A reporter yelled at Ian: "Mr. Carl, according to the reports released by WND News and the Los Angeles Herald, when you shot Alexandra Anstis with the first shot, she was already unable to resist, but you continued to shoot her seven times, is that right?"

Ian looked at the other person and found that it was a reporter arranged by his family.

At least some questions are not so sharp when asked by your own people.

He smiled. "Of course. He had a gun in his hand at the time, and I had to make sure he didn't shoot me... It doesn't take much strength to shoot."

Another reporter said: "But according to the police autopsy report, he was completely dead after the third shot. After that, you continued to shoot at him until you ran out of bullets."

The art of emptying the magazine is a perfect tactical skill of Americans. Do you really need to care so much about it?

Ian spread his hands: "The problem is that I'm not a forensic doctor. It's impossible for me to determine whether he is dead or not in that situation."

Reporter: "This is a corpse whipping!"

Ian: "That's assuming I knew it was a body. All I saw was this guy named Alexandra Anstis shooting me!"

Reporter: "But his gun was on safety at the time."

Ian: "I didn't know that. I thought it was a jam and he did pull the trigger on me. He could still shoot in that situation, so I had to attack immediately."

Reporter: "Aren't you afraid?"

Ian: "I once said that even when I was facing death, all I needed was a microphone... Unfortunately, I didn't bring a microphone with me. That was a bad and unprofessional mistake! I won't make that mistake again!"

Reporter: "You didn't shoot him with your first shot, but at his companion. You had already taken the gun from his companion, so you didn't have to shoot him."

Ian: "I don't have enough experience with guns, and I'm not a professional shooter. Do I need to apologize for my unprofessional killing? What can I do to improve my professional killing skills?"

Reporter: "Mr. Carl, are you willing to stand trial for the additional shooting?"

Ian stopped, looked back at the reporters, and said, "Of course, gentlemen. I am willing to take responsibility for everything I have done! I have a clear conscience about what I have done and am willing to accept legal and moral judgment."

He smiled slightly as he spoke. "For more details, please follow the Los Angeles Herald. The Los Angeles Herald will deliver the latest news to you every day. Our mission is to provide you with the latest, fastest, and most comprehensive news!"

He waved his hand and was about to leave.

At this moment, a reporter suddenly shouted: "Mr. Karl, is there a possibility that you are an excellent shooter, but you deliberately planned all this to create good news!"

Ian stopped abruptly. He turned to look at the reporter, a tall, thin young man with a smug smile on his face.

Ian asked, "Where are you from?"

The person replied: "Los Angeles Times, my name is Bernadette."

Ian walked over, looked at the other person, and said, "Do you know that what you said is already suspected of defamation?"

Bernadette smiled and replied, "It's just a normal question. You're a journalist, so you should understand."

Ian sneered, "I wouldn't speculate about my interview target being a murder suspect. You'd better watch your words."

The other party was obviously excited: "Are you threatening me?"

Ian shook his head slightly: "No, I never threaten anyone. I'm just reminding you of the professional ethics that a journalist should abide by."

With that he turned and got into the car.

It was originally just a simple case of a robber being killed, but because of Ian's brutal follow-up shooting, it caused an uproar and made Ian the focus again.

Ian himself was summoned to court for this.

Soon after, the police announced that Ian's shooting was completely correct and an absolutely necessary and reasonable self-protection measure. Not only did it not violate the law, it was even worth learning from for everyone.

Kate Beckinsale then spoke out, saying Ian Carr had done nothing wrong.

Then Scarlett Johansson spoke out, also believing that Ian Carr had done nothing wrong.

Of course, these are not important.

The important thing is that Ian Carr is rich and he can afford a good lawyer!!!

What was originally an ordinary robbery and murder case instantly exploded under the continuous promotion of celebrities and became one of the hot news in the United States at that time. Hot spots are also created by comparison. When there are no other hot news worth paying attention to during this period of time, that originally ordinary news can also become a hot topic.

Ian Carr’s first hot spot milestone was achieved under such circumstances.

The material isn’t huge, but there are many celebrities and the timing is great!

The public was also in an uproar. Some accused Ian Carr of being cold-blooded and ruthless, while others cheered for Ian, believing that violence must be used to suppress crime.

The Los Angeles Herald and WND News Network launched legal columns to discuss the matter, and their sales soared...

Editor-in-Chief Lloyd also had a huge smile on his face.

Looking at the large photo of Ian being tried in court in the newspaper, he became happier and happier.

A good boss is one who is willing to stake himself on the cause, and a capitalist is one who is willing to sell the noose to hang himself in order to triple the profit!

China was also shocked.

The readers who know the news have lost their voices again.

numb.

Ian Carr is such a contradictory person. On the one hand, he is a hero, and on the other hand, he is so cold and ruthless.

So they just shut up.

Of course, there are also public intellectuals who can find an angle: "This is the benefit of free gun ownership. It gives good people the opportunity to protect themselves."

Nice angle.

Americans are good at confusing right and wrong, while Southerners are good at accepting the confusion of right and wrong!
The problem is to be careful about what people will look back on in the future: Are you sure that Ian Carr, the torch-burning, corpse-throwing interviewer, is a good person? Are you sure he won't do something even more legally cruel in the future?
………………

In the office, Ian sat in his seat, looking at the Los Angeles Times with a serious look.

In the picture published by the Los Angeles Times, Ian and Bernadette confronted each other, and the unique angle made Ian's eyes look so cold.

The main title is:
“Why does Ian Carr experience various violent incidents again and again?”

"Intentional murder or self-defense?"

Ian doesn't mind people questioning his character, but he hates it when people accuse him of "intentional murder."

This report will not have any impact on him, but it will cause trouble for his future work.

Ian crumpled the newspaper in his hand and threw it into the trash can. "That's not how you play a city derby! Los Angeles Times, you're starting to annoy me. I'll have to clean you up when I get a chance."
