I made up myths in America

Chapter 64 Diddy's Party
Although he usually looks a bit careless, Nathan Porritt must have some abilities to be able to join the Bureau and become George Gently's confidant.

He is a computer expert.

Before joining the New York Police Department, he made a living by reselling information and data on the Internet.

Later, he was caught by George Gently by accident and was recruited to join the Special Investigations Division of the New York Police Department, where he has remained until now.

Crackling! !
After a flurry of fiddling around on his computer, he looked up and said, "Boss, we've found her. Lillian, 21, was born in a small town in Ohio. After graduating from high school, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams. Two years ago, she debuted at the Ahmanson Theatre to widespread acclaim. But three days after that performance, she committed suicide by slitting her wrists in her bathtub. The media reported on her case."

"What about Elliot?"

George Gently paced back and forth in the room, already in the mood to solve the case.
"Find out his relationship with the deceased, as well as the cemetery where Lillian's body was buried two years ago. Also, find out what social connections she had before her death, and what activities she participated in. Then send two nearby police officers to check out Lillian's grave."

George Gently issued several instructions in one breath.

Fortunately, several members of the investigation team in this office were his former subordinates in the New York Police Department, and they were all familiar with his handling style.

Several people went their separate ways and soon brought back some useful information.

"Boss, Lillian's body was buried in Greenbelt Park in the suburbs of Los Angeles. I checked the records at the time and found that the person who organized her funeral was a female manager of the Ahmanson Theatre."

"I've also found out that before her death, Lillian was invited to a private party hosted by Hollywood celebrity Sean Combs. At the time, some media outlets speculated that her death was related to this incident, but the report was quickly retracted."

"The police officer patrolling near Green Park also called me back. They saw a bouquet of white roses in front of Lillian's tombstone. They must have been delivered today. There was no signature on it, but there was a delicate stick figure drawing."

"I just found a set of photos that Lillian posted before she became famous. It shows her and Elliot, both working as waiters in a fancy French restaurant."

The information was summarized and sent to the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.

Now, without George Gently's analysis, everyone present knew what Elliot was trying to do by diverting their attention.

"He wants to go to Beverly Hills to get revenge on Sean Combs. There's a charity gala being held there today."

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonald felt dizzy and almost unsteady when he heard this.

That place is Beverly Hills, which is known as the most prestigious residential area in the world. If a brick falls from the sky, it can kill several billionaires.

That bastard Elliot was actually going to cause trouble there? ! !
If something happens there.
As if he had already thought about the impending end of his life, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell leaned on the table and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Quick, send someone to notify Sean Combs immediately and have him cancel that damn charity gala."

"Director, it may be too late."

A Los Angeles police officer made a bitter face and handed him the video he had just watched.

Beverly Hills, located at the foot of Beverly Hills and facing the refreshing Pacific Ocean, was now completely shrouded by a huge rising black night.

It is like a huge black bowl, covering up the world's most expensive residential area with an average price of US$37,000.

"I"

When Jim McDonald saw this scene, he felt completely dizzy, his eyes rolled back, and his body fell backwards.

"Director, you can't faint." "We still need you to take charge of the situation."

The Los Angeles police officers in the command room hurriedly helped him up, and one officer who often went to the Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown for massage even pinched his philtrum.

But at a time like this, no matter what I say, I can't wake up.

Jim McDonald strategically played dead.

"."

George Gently watched the scene speechlessly.

The FBI agents nearby were also a little panicked and asked, "Team Leader, what should we do now?"

George Gently sighed, rubbed his brow, and said, "Let's prepare for the worst first. Evacuate all residents near Beverly Hills, then send someone to contact General Doug and have him send people to surround the area."

"So, we ignore those big shots in Beverly Hills??!"

Los Angeles Deputy Police Chief James, who was standing by, had a dark face and wished he could faint.

But unfortunately, his connections are not as strong as Jim McDonald's. If he faints, he might be the one to take the blame.

So he had to muster up his strength and see if he could send someone to rescue the big shots in Beverly Hills, even if only some of them could be rescued.

"That's not for us to decide, Deputy James."

George Gently said with a hint of fatigue, "Put yourself in his shoes. If you were Elliot, having put so much thought into setting up this scheme, would you let someone easily come in and disrupt it?"

"Ah this."

James, who was originally black, turned even darker when he heard this and turned to look at Professor Alan Hurston, an expert in this field.

The professor was staring intently at the screen, watching the black curtain of light rise above Beverly Hills. Excitement flickered beneath his glasses as he offered his own explanation:
"I suspect that the occult ceremony Elliot wanted to hold was almost finished, so he chose Beverly Hills as the venue for the ceremony. This place, which is in the spotlight, may also have some kind of occult significance."

"I have a different opinion on this."

Professor Takeuchi, who had wanted to escape but failed, sighed and gently reminded:
"From the vicious gangs, the serious criminals in prison, to the wealthy and powerful people in Beverly Hills, don't you see some commonalities between them?"

"You mean"

Folklorist Alan Hurston instantly understood what Professor Takeuchi was trying to say and clapped his hands excitedly.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

"Compared to Western demons who favor pure and innocent souls, in Eastern folklore, souls that have committed heinous crimes are more likely to become ghosts or something like that. This may be why Eliot ultimately chose Beverly Hills as the location for his mysterious ceremony."

Everyone present: "."

Professor Allen, you are so bold.
