Hollywood Director 1992

Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!

Sometime after two in the morning, the phone on the counter suddenly rang.

Link opened his eyes, got up, and hung up the phone, preventing it from waking Monica and Liu Xiaoli, who were still sleeping.

He glanced at the phone number, put on his pajamas, and went to the small living room.

"Jon, what's the matter?"

The caller was Jon Gordon, the head of the publicity department.

"Boss, something happened. I feel like it's a good thing and we can take advantage of it."

"What is it?"

"Just received news that half an hour ago, a murder occurred in the Brentwood neighborhood. There are two dead, a man and a woman. The female victim is O.J. Simpson's ex-wife, Nicole Brown, and the male victim is said to be her friend. The crime scene is right outside Simpson's villa."

"Simpson?"

Speaking of top black athletes, many people think of Jordan, Tyson, and Johnson, but in the eighties and nineties, during the heyday of football, Simpson was the most famous athlete in North America, a superstar, comparable to Yao Ming's reputation and status in China.

For such a person to be involved in a murder case, it is bound to be big news.

"Jon, how do you want to use it?"

"The police suspect that the two were having an affair in the villa and were attacked by the murderer. I plan to bribe the police to write 'Lust' at the scene. This matter involves the big star Simpson, and the attention it receives afterward will definitely be high. We can use this case to promote 'Seven Sins,' and the effect may be very good."

Link nodded. He knew better than anyone how influential the Simpson murder case was. If he could use this case, 'Seven Sins' could indeed gain a lot of popularity in a short period of time.

But doing so is also risky. Once the police find out and the court sues them for perjury and disrupting judicial order, the penalty may be tens of thousands of dollars.

Tens of thousands of dollars?

Link stroked his chin. This matter seemed to be workable.

The O.J. Simpson murder case was the most sensational news event in the United States in the 1990s, and also the biggest case of acquittal in American history.

The trial and investigation process of this case will also attract national attention, and its popularity is not much less than those major events in American history.

If 'Seven Sins' catches the heat of this case, it will probably become known to everyone in less than a week.

The only thing to worry about is that after this matter is exposed, it is easy to be criticized by the media, and he will be scolded for doing everything possible to hype the movie and make bad money.

"It's worth a try."

After finishing the call, Link returned to the bedroom to continue sleeping.

But before he could close his eyes, the phone rang again.

Link had no choice but to let go of the warm jade in his arms, get up again to answer the phone. On the phone, Jon Gordon told him in an excited tone that there was no need to bribe the police to do this.

When the police were searching the scene, they found a bloody word 'Greed' on the courtyard wall.

"Really?"

This was too coincidental. Link had reason to suspect that Jon Gordon did it. This guy, in order to promote the movie, acted first and asked someone to write on the scene before calling to ask for his opinion.

"The source is very reliable. At first, the police didn't notice it because the yard was too dark. Later, someone turned on the car lights and found a line of letters on the wall, which read 'Greed'. The police have already taken pictures of the blood letters and are preparing to use them as evidence to investigate the murderer's motive."

"Is that so?"

If it was true, this would be a top-notch hype material.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the Simpson murder case, 'Seven Sins' would also be known to the world.

If handled properly, a lot of publicity expenses could be saved.

Link and Jon Gordon discussed the publicity for a few minutes, finalized the matter, and then lay back on the bed.

"Who was on the phone?"

Monica was awakened and asked, leaning on his chest.

"Jon Gordon, something unexpected happened, but it might be a good thing."

Link put his arm around her shoulder and re-entered the gentle embrace.

The next day, the news about this case was everywhere in the media, from television to newspapers to radio, every media outlet was rushing to report the news.

The Los Angeles Times was the first to report the details of the case.

The incident occurred around ten o'clock in the evening, at the villa of football star Simpson in the affluent West Los Angeles area.

Around eleven o'clock at night, a neighbor's dog barked wildly at Simpson's villa. The neighbor came out to check and found two bodies lying on the corridor in front of the villa, with blood flowing from the front porch to the street in front of the door.

The female victim was Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of football star O.J. Simpson, and the male victim was her friend Ron Goldman.

Both were stabbed dozens of times and died tragically.

The neighbor then called the police.

Around one o'clock in the morning, four Los Angeles police officers arrived at the scene to investigate and found bloodstains on O.J. Simpson's white Ford Bronco outside the door, and bloodstains were also found on the driveway.

No one answered the doorbell. The detectives climbed over the wall and entered. An officer named Forman found a bloody glove in the backyard, and Officer Costa found the word 'Greed' on the wall at the crime scene.

In addition, a driver from a car rental company confirmed that he drove to the villa next to the crime scene to pick up Simpson at around ten o'clock that night. No one answered the doorbell. At almost eleven o'clock, he saw a tall black man running back into the house from next door. When he rang the doorbell again, Simpson answered and claimed that he was asleep and didn't hear it. Then he took the car to the airport and flew to Chicago.

According to various clues, the police locked their target on the black football star Simpson.

On the day of the incident, mainstream North American media reported on the matter, causing great sensation and heated discussion throughout the United States.

There are three main highlights of this case.

First, the suspect in the case, Simpson, is the most famous black sports star in the United States.

Simpson won the NFL Most Valuable Player award for three consecutive years and was selected to the NFL All-Pro team five times. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985 and was more famous than 'Air' Jordan and boxing champion Tyson. He is a sports superstar.

A superstar involved in a murder case is undoubtedly a very hot topic.

The second highlight is the gossip involved in this case. The deceased was Simpson's ex-wife. The two divorced in 1992, but still lived on an estate. Before her death, the two watched their children perform at school.

The other male victim was Ron Goldman, a waiter at a restaurant and also a friend of Nicole Brown. It is said that Nicole Brown left her glasses at the restaurant when she had dinner that day. Ron Goldman came to the villa to return the glasses and then both encountered misfortune.

Many people suspect that the two were having an affair and were caught by Simpson.

Simpson, in anger, killed the two.

The third highlight is the bloody word 'Greed' found by the police at the scene.

Recently, the movie 'Seven Sins' has been a hit in major North American theaters, grossing $51.03 million in the past two weeks. Many people have seen this movie.

The murderer's method in this movie is exactly the same as the murder that happened in Simpson's mansion.

After the murderer kills, he will write the seven sins recorded in 'Paradise Lost' at the scene, namely "Gluttony", "Greed", "Sloth", "Envy", "Pride", "Lust", and "Wrath".

The appearance of 'Greed' at this murder scene is highly likely that the murderer imitated John Doe's modus operandi after watching 'Seven Sins', or paid tribute to it.

At the end of 'Seven Sins', John Doe once said to Detective Mills and old William in the car, "I have set an example, and what I have done will surely cause people to think, study, and imitate, forever!"

The murderer in this murder case may be imitating John Doe's modus operandi.

It's just that many people don't understand why it was written 'Greed' instead of 'Lust'. If Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were having an affair in the villa and were discovered by the murderer, and the murderer couldn't stand it, and killed the two in the name of the seven sins, then writing 'Lust' would be more reasonable.

However, some people also explain that after Nicole Brown and Simpson divorced, they received tens of millions of dollars and a villa mansion, and continued to demand alimony from Simpson after the divorce.

From this perspective, it is also reasonable to sanction Nicole in the name of 'Greed'.

Now all that needs to be clarified is whether Simpson has seen 'Seven Sins' and whether the blood letters on the wall are his handwriting.

If so, Simpson is 100% the murderer.

Before the court opened, the melon-eating crowds were online to solve the case.
