Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 453 Ripper Street

However, using Rachel Weisz as a guinea pig is ultimately Charlotte's bad taste.

His current real work is still the preparation for the movie "The Mummy" and the follow-up filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"——

As soon as she returned to the UK, Charlotte rushed to the filming set of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and began to check on the progress of the filming while he was away.

——Before leaving, he had already selected some easier-to-control shots in advance and handed them over to the deputy director Lao Qiang to supervise the shooting.

Although Lao Qiang has never been a full-time director, he has been an assistant director for a long time and has rich experience, so he can control the filming progress well.

Although it was not as good as Charlotte's Sturm und Drang and everyone was in great shape, they still maintained normal progress and did not cause delays.

Charlotte checked it out and found that, except for a few shots that might need adjusting, most of the footage was shot fine.

It was something Alexis mentioned that caught his attention——

"A bizarre murder occurred in the neighborhood near the studio - the victim was a street girl. After she was killed, her stomach was cut open -"

"Alexis, are you trying to tell me that this case is very similar to Jack the Ripper's modus operandi?"

Before Miss Valkyrie could finish speaking, Charlotte asked bluntly.

In response, Alexis shrugged.

"Who knows? Anyway, the British media has been in a rage recently because of this case - they all say that this is a Jack the Ripper imitator. Some even exaggerate, saying that Jack the Ripper has been resurrected..."

"How can it be!?"

Charlotte sneered on her face, but couldn't help but move in her heart——

"Theoretically, in order to gain more fear, it is possible for ghosts to deliberately dissect the corpse after killing someone, or even deliberately eat part of the internal organs."

"But weird things like that are generally low-level, unless..."

Charlotte shook her head. He felt that he was thinking too much.

After all, ghosts are still very rare in this world.

However, Charlotte became uncertain again when she thought about her experiences in the past few years.

"If you have time, take me to the crime scene to have a look!"

Charlotte said to Alexis.

These words suddenly excited the Valkyrie——

"Charlotte, do you suspect there is something ghostly at work here?"

"Honestly it's not very likely."

Charlotte shook her head;

"However, just in case, it's safer for me to take a look. After all, our "Hogwarts" can be said to be the place with the highest concentration of ghosts nearby. If there are other ghosts nearby, it's 80% likely that they will You’ll notice it here too.”

"That's true!"

Alexis nodded,

"Then let's go investigate!? I happen to know that there is someone who has a lot of information about this case."

For some reason, Charlotte always felt that there was an expression called "pleasure" on Miss Valkyrie's face...

**********

In fact, Alexis wasn't the only one who was happy.

It should be said that, in addition to the troubled police officers in New Scotland Yard, there are people throughout the UK, from Downing Street to ordinary neighborhoods in Manchester, who are following this case with a curious mind.

There is no way, why is Jack the Ripper the ancestor of modern serial killers, whose name has been turned into a symbol by art and has become a synonym for dark culture!

It can be said that as long as Jack the Ripper is mentioned, those lovers of crime and curiosity culture, as well as those who like the dark British style of the late Victorian era, will involuntarily pay attention to it.

In this case, media reporters will naturally not miss this feast.

Among them is "Parrot" Polly.

Although he is an entertainment reporter, "Parrot" Polly had interned in the current affairs section and had a heart to become a social news reporter.

——Of course, this was purely nonsense when he was chatting with his younger brother George.

Polly knew very well that he was just bored and suddenly wanted to make a big news——

There is no way. Although the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is very topical and often releases all kinds of interesting news, in the final analysis, it is all planned by the crew in advance.

——In fact, Polly has no sense of accomplishment at all when reporting this kind of news.

It's not like he hasn't considered using eavesdropping devices again, but after failing once, he became a lot more cautious.

Moreover, the castle-style studio where the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" filmed the movie also made Polly feel very strange——

He and George sneaked in once, but the two grown men got lost inside.

Even the photos he took were exposed and invalidated because of George's carelessness, and he also lost a camera.

This made Polly very angry.

What made him even more angry was the blond woman who found them next and "sent" them outside the studio.

——The other party's contemptuous look, which was half-smiling but not smiling, made Polly feel that he had been seriously provoked.

The other party claimed to be Charlotte Booth's secretary, but looking at her appearance, which was comparable to that of a female star, Polly felt that she was probably the kind of "competent secretary".

This actually made Polly feel that he had found a possible scandal.

After all, as a famous director, Charlotte Booth has been in a relationship with the popular actress Charlize Theron for several years although she is not married.

If the news of his cheating could be revealed, it would be a sensation.

——However, apart from his own conjecture, Polly had no other evidence.

Although as a reporter for "The Sun", evidence has never been a problem - as long as it is news, fabricated evidence can be published without evidence.

But the problem is that without sufficient evidence, the credibility and dissemination of news will be greatly reduced.

For a veteran paparazzi like Polly, this no longer makes sense.

Therefore, he could only continue to wait for the opportunity.

While waiting, this case imitating "Jack the Ripper" happened.

Because the location of the crime is not too far from the filming location of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Polly, who had been squatting nearby, rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news.

Although it was impossible to photograph the murderer, Polly was able to quickly grasp first-hand information.

As a result, an entertainment paparazzi became the first reporter to follow up on this case.

In fact, Polly has a lot of information. He even learned a lot about some internal information of the police through bugs.

This can not but be said to be a kind of irony.

What's even more ironic is that "Parrot" Polly doesn't know that Alexis, the blonde woman who despises him and whom he guesses is his "competent secretary", has actually been secretly paying attention to him...
