Chapter 289 Buying a House, Reporters Blocked the Door
“How about I ask someone to maintain order.”
As soon as Karl’s words came out, Su Fan shook his head.
"You have been working in the police station for a while, and you still don't know the ethics of those people who work in the news?"
Hearing this, Karl was stunned, and then smiled.
Forget about this.
Those guys employed by newspapers are chatty, pushy, and like to get to the bottom of things. They publish many cases without permission, which often brings trouble to their work.
They talk about exposing the truth and professional ethics in journalism, but in fact they swarm wherever there is a hot spot.
When the police came, they became even more energetic.
“When will the recording start and do I need to rehearse?”
Carl asked.
“It’s none of my business.”
For the sake of ratings, the TV station is eager to let Su Fan take on the role of an exorcist.
It will definitely give Su Fan a script to appear holy and mysterious.
Su Fan held his cheek and began to think again.
By cooperating with people from the TV station, you can actually achieve the desired effect.
As long as the performance is poor, the audience will think that he is an actor hired by the TV station to increase ratings.
Subconsciously, he regarded Su Fan as an ordinary person without super powers.
The TV station was thinking about the first layer, and Su Fan showed it to make the audience think it was the second layer, but the truth was the third layer.
But in this way, Su Fan's own reputation will be ruined.
Not to mention whether I can continue to receive exorcism commissions in the future, it will also affect the antique business.
But before that, Su Fan still had a very important thing to do.
"Alice, you stay here to look after the store while I go do some errands."
"I'm about to go on patrol. See you next time, Alice."
< br>Karl got up, followed Su Fan out, and caught up with him.
“Su, take me with you!”
Su Fan turned his head and looked at Karl with confusion.
"Why did you come out too?"
Since being promoted by Dyson, this kid is only one step away from being a plainclothes man.
Of course he has slacked off a lot on his patrol duties, as evidenced by his visits to antique shops from time to time.
"Su, tell me honestly, what's going on with that girl?"
Karl turned his head and glanced behind him, lowered his voice and asked.
Is Alice beautiful?
It can be said to be very beautiful.
But can ordinary people spend a lot of time in antique shops?
Just now Su Fan mentioned that there was enough sunshine and she could not go out for activities. This made Karl subconsciously pay attention to the other person's skin and found that Alice was frighteningly white.
This made some bad suspicions emerge in his mind.
"You guessed it right, she is a vampire."
As soon as Su Fan said this, Karl trembled with fear.
"You put a vampire in the store? Are you afraid that she will suddenly..."
You have to be able to say that.
With Su Fan's current physical strength, it would be better if Alice doesn't break her fangs in one bite.
Of course, the explanation cannot be this way.
“Vegetarians only drink the blood of animals and don’t eat much.”
“…For the first time, I feel that the word vegetarian is so pleasant to the ears.”
< br>Listening to Karl's emotion, Su Fan remembered the horse-catching incident that the former encountered at that time.
It is said that Carl, who finally took a vacation, was gnawing on chicken legs and humming a song on the streets of Hollywood when he was suddenly attacked by a vegetarian group.
Not only did he slap the food away, but he also spat at him wildly.
Because of this incident, he was often teased by the police in the station.
"Will she die if exposed to sunlight?"
"No. I can turn on the special effects, and it looks pretty good."
Su Fan described it to the other party. It was roughly like the flashing special effects for handsome men in Japanese girl comics.
"In other words, this group of people can obtain a long lifespan, extraordinary strength, and eternal appearance without paying any price?"
Karl looked confused.
“It’s not without cost.”
Su Fan spoke casually.
“It’s just that I might chase him.”
Hearing these words, Karl extinguished the little yearning that had just emerged in his heart.
The price is too high, it is safer to be a human being.
While the two were chatting, they got into the police car.
"By the way, where should we go next?"
"Go find someone. Speaking of which, you have met her before."
Su Fan took out a piece of paper with the address from his pocket. .
Karl took it and looked at it, started the car, and asked subconsciously.
“Who?”
“Ms. Kate.”
Hearing this, the memories in Karl’s mind suddenly came to mind.
In the dark and bloody villa, the couple fell to the ground, and the dwarf woman was hiding in the dark and trying to assassinate them.
He was also driving for Su Fan at that time.
That time and this moment are similar but different.
Not long after, the car stopped at a single-family villa in the suburbs.
"This is where the mother and son live now."
After getting off the car, Su Fan rang the doorbell.
“Who?”
A woman’s slightly tired voice came from the other end.
"Su Fan."
"Wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."
Kate seemed to wake up a little when Su Fan announced his door.
Not long after, the two saw Kate walking in slippers and a shawl.
Kate was very enthusiastic when meeting the two saviors.
She took Su Fan and Karl into the villa and made two more cups of coffee for them.
Also offered to stay with them for dinner.
However, both Su Fan and Karl declined her invitation.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Su Fan went straight to the topic.
"Ms. Kate, you know the purpose of my coming here, and I must have prepared the relevant materials, right?"
"The materials are complete. But Su, you don't have to be so Yes, I have talked with Max and Daniel, and they have no objection to giving away the property."
"One size fits all, Ms. Kate, I didn't save you just to get it for free. "
Su Fan shook his head slightly, and then took out a card.
"There is money to buy the real estate here, and it will be paid in full according to the market appraisal price."
Seeing that Su Fan had prepared everything, Kate said nothing more. He got up and went to the cupboard in the living room and took out the contract and the certificate.
After checking the document and confirming it was correct, Su Fan and Kate signed their names on it.
"I will call to inform you of the progress of the subsequent transfer."
"Thank you, then I won't disturb your rest."
Su Fan closes the belongings With his contract, he got up and left with Karl.
Kate also followed him out, all the way to the front yard door.
"Come and sit down when you have time. Max has always wanted to see you."
Standing inside the door, Kate looked at Su Fan's back and suddenly said this.
"I'll meet you next time, bye."
Su Fan smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Su Fan and Karl returned to the car.
"Su, from what Ms. Kate said before, she wants to transfer the door shop to you for free?" Carl couldn't help but ask shortly after sitting in the driver's seat.
“Why don’t you agree to such a good thing?”
“There is no reason, I just don’t want to.”
Compared with before, they The places where the family lives are quite different.
Obviously without John as the breadwinner of the family, the remaining orphans and widows are not as well off as before.
Real estate taxes, mortgages, children’s education expenses and many other expenses all fall on Kate alone.
Even if you have savings, it won’t last long.
To accept the free transfer from the door shop at this time is to make matters worse.
He didn't accept gifts before, and he doesn't accept gifts now.
A few million dollars went out, and more than half a year of hard work was almost completely reset.
It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel bad.
But compared to the money, Su Fan valued his inner peace more.
Everyone lives his life with a clear conscience.
Besides, I feel more at ease when I actually paid for it.
After officially buying the store, Su Fan was in a good mood and began to build the prototype of the formation in his mind.
But at this moment, Karl’s voice came from the driver’s seat in front.
"Su, there seems to be some people around the antique store."
Su Fan looked sideways and saw some men and women surrounding the door of the store.
"There are both reporters and video creators."
Karl took a few more glances, accurately identified the figures that reeked of paparazzi, and added further explanations.
"Do I need to go around to the back door?"
"No."
Su Fan looked back and didn't care.
It is natural to enter his shop through the front door. Why go around?
......
"Hello everyone, this is the Paranormal Exploration column, and I am your host Oliver."
"We have now arrived at our destination, the Avenue of Stars An antique shop on the street."
"Maybe some people are curious about why we are here."
"And now, I will reveal the answer to everyone."
A young man paced back and forth in front of the store, matching his body movements and chattering to the camera in front of him.
“I believe everyone has heard about the horror film “Graveyard Encounter 2” that was suddenly released and then inexplicably removed from the shelves some time ago.”
“The place we are now is exactly what appears in the film The place where the extraordinary one is, the young man who controls the evil spirit.”
“Follow our camera and go in to find out what’s going on inside.”
As he said that, Oliver was about to push. Open an antique store.
But just as he put his hand on the door handle, the voice of the camera crew came from behind.
"Oliver, someone is coming this way."
Hearing this, Oliver, who had his back to the camera, looked a little irritated.
I have to report such a small thing. Is there any professionalism at all?
Although editing can be done later, one shot can reduce the workload and speed up the production of the film.
Time is money!
Under Oliver's displeasure, the others actually started talking.
“Are the people who got off the police car a police officer?”
“One is wearing a police uniform and the other is not, maybe he is in plainclothes?”
“Wait a minute, Don’t you think the figure in front of you looks familiar?”
“It seems a bit... like the one we are looking for...”
Oliver, who seemed to be scolding, was listening. After hearing these words, he suddenly turned around.
The eyes did not wander for long, and within a moment they were locked on a young man.
A well-proportioned figure, a handsome face, and a calm expression.
It was exactly the same as the figure in the film, except that the long canvas bag was missing from the shoulders.
It’s not like that, that’s exactly what it is!
Oliver felt his heartbeat speed up instantly, a rush of blood rushing to his head, and he couldn't help but push aside a few people in front of him.
“Get out of the way!”
“I’ll go do the interview, you guys can take some good photos!”
After hearing this, everyone still didn’t understand what was going on. .
This is the time to meet the rightful owner!
The filming, radio and others immediately cheered up and followed Oliver quickly to meet him.
The latter blocked the young man's way and held up the microphone.
“Sorry to excuse you, can I do an interview with you?”
"No."
The young man's crisp reply made Oliver and others froze in place.
This guy doesn't play his cards according to the routine and refuses so quickly, which doesn't give him any face at all.
"Sorry, we only need a few minutes of your time."
"I refuse, get out of the way."
The young man frowned and faced forward. Go.
Seeing this, Oliver sneered in his heart.
In the media industry, physical condition is also very important.
He exercises in the gym all year round and has muscles all over his body.
The Asian with thin arms and legs in front of me wants to get away.
What to pretend!
On the surface, he turned sideways, but in fact, he deliberately slowed down and secretly exerted force on his shoulders.
If this happens, this kid will at least stagger.
Oliver thought so in his heart, but the next second he felt a dull pain in his shoulder.
The other party's body was not affected at all, but Oliver felt as if his shoulder had hit a wall.
At this moment, he was very close to the young man, and he happened to hear the disdainful snort between his nose.
Before he could react, he lost his center of gravity and stumbled.
Oliver immediately recovered from the physical pain. When he looked up, he saw the camera facing him.
The previous ugly behavior has been completely recorded by the camera.
Damn it!
"Why are you shooting me? Chase me!"
Oliver's face turned red and he immediately got up from the ground, ignoring the dust on his body, and hurried to catch up.
The movement here attracted other photographers not far away.
After everyone saw the young man’s face clearly, they all ran over.
......
Is there no end to these dogs?
Su Fan couldn't help but frown when he heard running footsteps coming from behind.
Filming an interview without someone else’s permission is an invasion of privacy.
But at present, it seems that they don’t care about this at all, and they are determined not to give up if the interview is not successful.
They cannot be allowed into the store.
Su Fan stopped and turned around, and the group of people happened to be in front of him.
"Go back and forth from where you are."
"We just want to ask you a few questions, and I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
Front row The panting woman spoke politely.
"It will only take you a few minutes, just a few minutes."
"...Say."
"Excuse me, are you the owner of this antique shop? ?”
“Yes.”
“Have you seen the person in Cemetery Encounter 2?”
“I haven’t seen it, I don’t know. .”
"Are you an exorcist?"
"No."
"Then have you been to Collingwood Mental Hospital?"
Su Fan paused. , did not give a direct answer, just nodded.
Many reporters and video bloggers who received this answer were immediately in an uproar, with their eyes shining brightly.
Hey guy, you’ve been there and survived, and you’re still saying you’re not an exorcist!
