Chapter 426 Rhett's Spring (4)
Tyler Kelly raised her head arrogantly, as if this lady was not here to ask for help this time.
"I have an important clue, related to the case you are working on"
Seeing her polite manner and unwilling to continue, Jack stood up and blocked her. In front of her, there was a barrier between the other party's small gestures of waving hands and greeting Jiejie, Angela and the others.
"Say why you are here, or I will throw you out and call Hannah to come over and interrogate you."
Taylor held his knees with both hands, raised his hips, and looked fakely scared, "Are you serious? In fact, you can just interrogate me. Can you use a belt?"
Thinking of what's behind you. Among the guys watching the fun and Jie Jie with a teasing face on the stage, Jack really had the urge to play with this girl for a while, and by the way, he swung the whip twice, what he learned from those video tapes last time He hasn't found a chance to practice the new posture yet.
“Be more decent, our lovely host, aren’t you satisfied with a Pulitzer Prize?”
“OK, no kidding, I met a friend of mine. It's a bit troublesome, she was frightened, I feel this matter should be related to the case you are investigating now."
Taylor put away the bitch look that didn't match her temperament, and changed back. The beautiful news host of Channel 8 who is familiar to the public.
"Where is your friend? What's the trouble?" Jack asked.
"Just next door, John is receiving her, and here's the trouble."
Taylor took out a newspaper, which was this morning's "Los Angeles Times", with the headline on the front page It was the murder of actress Natalie Lane, but when she took out the newspaper, three words were written on it in red ink.
"Youoweme" (You owe me)
Jack handed the newspaper to Hotchner, walked out of the conference room, and came back within a few minutes, shaking his head at Rhett. .
"Dr. Spencer Reed, come here to pick up the guest."
——
Reed walked a few steps quickly and followed Jack into an office, still wondering about his strange use. words, and then saw a familiar pretty face.
"Leila? Hi!"
"Hi, Spencer."
When Laila Aqi raised her head and saw Red, her originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed.
——
Because there were too many people who wanted to listen to the inquiry (gossip), Jack directly asked Tim to borrow a lounge, where Hotchner and Red sat, and the others Standing or leaning, holding documents or notebooks in their hands to show off.
Rosie and Jack each held a thermos cup and leaned against the filing cabinet, acting like the male parents. Those who knew it was a police inquiry, but those who didn't knew it thought it was a blind date.
Jack was preparing medicinal meals for pregnant women and elderly people, so he bought some extra wolfberry and American ginseng, part of which was used to make wine, and the rest was used to make tea.
After all, there is no benefit to drinking too much coffee. So I made a cup of jasmine tea and added some American ginseng and wolfberry. Rosie said it was very good.
Leila Aqi, who was sitting opposite, was wearing an off-shoulder sweater and jeans, showing off her hot figure. She seemed to be used to this kind of crowd of stars, so she didn’t look special. resistance.
There was also a middle-aged white man sitting next to her, chattering endlessly about things like not to worry, meaning that any celebrity would encounter similar problems.
Hotchner cleared his throat and began to ask, "How familiar are you with Natalie Lane?"
"We will chat a few words when we meet in public. But they can't be called friends." Laila raised her hand to signal her agent to shut up and answered Hotchner's question.
"What about Willy Melman?"
"What?" Laila was surprised with a little doubt.
"A producer was killed two months ago." Reid reminded.
“Didn’t the newspaper say that the robbery was an accident?” Laila looked at the agent beside her and then at Taylor on the other side.
Tyler shrugged, "Don't look at me, newspapers often talk nonsense."
"Do you know him?" Hotchner asked.
Laila still looked a little confused, as if she didn’t understand why the FBI asked this.
“We met a few times for a show, but I didn’t get the role and they changed their minds.” When Laila said this, it seemed to bring back some bad memories. .
"So?" "He chose, uh, another actor." Laila suddenly paused as if something suddenly occurred to her, and the agent on the side also showed a look of realization.
"Oh my God!" Laila turned to look at her agent again.
The agent looked helpless, "He chose Natalie Lane."
This makes sense. Rossi used his finger to fill the part. In the evidence bag, a newspaper with "Youoweme" written on it was dotted.
“I think this is probably a good way to win the competition?”
Seeing everyone’s eyes on him, the agent felt wronged, “Don’t look at me like that, I look so stupid. Or the police station where I drove her?”
Jack glared at Taylor who was so excited that his eyes were shining with excitement, put down the cup in his hand and asked.
“Have you ever noticed that you are being observed or followed?”
“From the moment I entered the shooting scene, there would be hairstylists, makeup, and people from the costume team surrounding me. , and then there are producers, screenwriters, agents, agents, publicists, and of course photographers. I can’t do it at all.”
Jack nodded to express understanding, “Is there anything that happens regularly? , but something unusual.”
“What are you talking about specifically?” Laila blinked, a look of confusion on her pretty face.
Rhett reminded, "For example, harassing phone calls that keep coming but are hung up as soon as they are answered, or gifts from unknown persons."
Laila looked thoughtful, "I will receive flowers, every day There will be a bouquet of flowers in my nanny car on the 7th of every month. There is no message card, just a glass bottle.
My favorite pink anemone.”
"So you never thought about who sent this?" Hotchner asked.
"Celebrities always receive anonymous gifts, and I think Miss Kelly is the same."
Taylor ignored the agent's half-explanation, half-compliment, and put his arm around Laila's shoulders to express comfort.
Emily reached out and took a photo from Jiejie's hand, looked at it, and asked, "Do you still remember that you met someone special on the 7th of a certain month? Or July."
"No." Laila looked very upset.
"Wally Melman is a producer. He considered casting you, but ultimately chose Natalie Lane, who can be regarded as your competitor, and this Chloe ·Harris, do you think she looks similar to you?”
Emily showed the photo in her hand to Laila.
"Who is this?"
"A potential rival, she was also murdered." Rhett replied.
Laila covered her face and looked like she was about to cry, "You are saying that all these people were murdered because of me?"
It was rare for Hotchner to speak. Shi hesitated, "We suspect that there is a possibility."
"I'm sorry, I can't bear it, I have to leave." Laila gently pushed Taylor's arm around her, stood up and hurriedly escape.
Jack secretly kicked Red, who then woke up from a dream and hurriedly got up and chased after him.
"Is there something else I don't know about here?" Taylor looked suspiciously in the direction the two left.
"It's not important, come here and sign a confidentiality agreement."
Jack handed her over to Jiejie with a smile, then took out his cell phone and sent a message to Red, asking him to drive. Send Laila home and come back after making sure it's safe.
It’s the end of the month, collect monthly passes
