"What are you doing! I'm Pierce! An internationally renowned director!"
"You are breaking into a private house! I want to sue you!"
"My lawyer will be here soon! Just wait!"
Pierce yelled at the policemen, his eyes fixed on them.
And at this moment, at the gate, a senior detective in a black suit slowly walked in front of Pierce.
He stood there, picked up the folder in his hand and looked through it twice.
"Pierce, you are charged with two counts of causing arson and causing the theft of significant property."
"You have the right to a lawyer, but until you are convicted, you will be in our custody."
After speaking, the senior agent waved his hand.
The price policeman pulled Pierce up from the ground and dragged him outside.
Pierce didn't resist at all throughout the whole process, his face was pale, and he seemed to have understood something!
Chapter 77
An hour before Pierce was caught...
In the hotel, Ye Heng looked at the box office comparison of the past five days.
A smile appeared on his face.
A box office of [-] million is quite a lot.
But you must know that the production of "Killers" alone cost a full [-] million dollars!
And this is not counting the various publicity costs in the later period.
After calculating the various expenses, the minimum cost was at least 1.5 million.
And now the box office of the movie is 1 million, but if you subtract the theater share, the remaining is only 5000 million.
This amount of money can't even make it back, let alone make a profit.
But Ye Heng didn't care, who told this girl to mess with herself!
"Director Pierce, you did it yourself, you can't blame me."
With that said, Ye Heng called Lin Ke.
"Hey Brother Ye, do you have money to pay me?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Ye Heng almost hung up the phone after hearing Lin Ke's voice.
"Well, can you stop raising money as soon as you open your mouth? It hurts feelings."
"Talking about feelings hurts money, Brother Ye, you can't prostitute my technical ability for nothing."
Ye Heng smiled helplessly, "The money will be available in a while, but now I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Is it convenient for you to directly post the information about Pierce on the Internet?"
Hearing this, Lin Ke instantly understood what Ye Heng meant.
"No problem, don't worry, I will definitely handle it properly for you."
Lin Ke hung up the phone, and directly posted all the information collected before on the Internet.
Soon, the news began to spread wildly on a certain tweet and a certain book.
As more and more people saw it, they kept @叶恒.
But Ye Heng didn't reply immediately, although he had seen the news a long time ago.
He deliberately waited for ten minutes, and then posted a shocked expression on a certain Twitter.
"I can't believe that the fire was related to Director Pierce!"
"Although I don't know the truth of the matter, I have reported the case to the FBI and hope they can give me a satisfactory answer."
Immediately afterwards, at the FBI headquarters in Los Angeles, a special operations team went to Pierce's villa immediately after receiving authorization.
The entire arrest operation took about 5 minutes, which was very easy, because Pierce had not learned the secret of his actions from the Internet at this time, and no one had notified him in advance.
On that day, in an FBI interrogation room, Pierce and Connor were in the same room, sitting face to face.
"Connor! Connor! You must save me this time! You must save me!" Pierce kept begging.
After being arrested, Pierce first contacted Connor, and then the lawyer.
Connor looked at Pierce, but his eyes were full of anger, without any mercy.
"Save you? Save your mother! Your fucking chat record has brought me into trouble now!"
"Dilumbia is already talking about firing me! I'm fucking helping you!!"
Hearing this, Pierce broke out in a cold sweat.
For so many years, Connor has been helping him deal with various problems.
If even Connor couldn't help him now, who could?
"Yeah, but that Ye Heng is just a native of Longguo! The FBI and the court shouldn't do anything to us, right?"
Pierce said cautiously.
To put it bluntly, Ye Heng is an outsider after all, not a native of the beautiful country.
Courts and the FBI tend to favor beautiful Chinese when adjudicating such disputes between Chinese and foreigners.
"There have been cases like this before."
"A company from the beautiful country and a company from the dragon country have a dispute over patent issues."
"Longguo Company took out all the evidence, but in the end, the court of Beautiful Country directly threw those evidences into the trash can in front of everyone, and announced that the company of Beautiful Country won the case!"
"The court will definitely favor us!"
As Pierce said, he didn't know whether he was comforting himself, or he really believed it.
But after hearing this, Connor couldn't help but sneer.
"Then do you know why the court at that time did this?"
"Because they were directly ordered by the government! The company represents the interests of the beautiful country. In order to protect its own interests, the beautiful country can do even the most outrageous things."
"But what about you? What are you!!"
Connor yelled loudly, wanting to put his finger directly on Pierce's head.
"You are just a director, there are so many people like you in the beautiful country!"
"And now this matter has been stabbed to the point where the whole world knows it. Ye Heng's popularity is already high because of "Jigsaw" and "Oddities". Now even in the entire beautiful country, there are nearly [-]% of the people. support him!"
"If the trial is unfair at this time, not only will the beautiful country lose face in front of the whole world, but it will also cause the president to lose votes!!"
After hearing these words, an inexplicable fear crawled up Pierce's spine.
He had a hunch that he was going to die! !
After a burst of angry roars, Connor gradually calmed down.
After a long time, he sighed.
"I hired the best lawyer for you, but at most it can only save you two years of sentence, that's all I can do."
After speaking, Connor got up and left, leaving Pierce sitting there alone.
At the same time, on a voting website in the beautiful country, the top vote is:
"Ye Heng and Pierce, who do you support in this battle?"
In the vote below, Ye Heng "nearly beat" Pierce's 93% approval rate with a support rate of 7%.
Among Pierce's 7%, except for half of them who said they "choose the wrong one", the rest are his old movie fans and some pretty Chinese people who hate the people of Long Country extremely.
The government of the beautiful country is very concerned about this.
Because, as Connor said, this matter will affect public satisfaction and the president's votes.
A director is not worth giving up so much at all.
……
A few days later, Ye Heng, who was continuing to film "Jigsaw" on the set, received a leaflet from the beautiful country court.
And also attached a letter.
The general content of the letter is: We have prepared the top lawyers for you, please arrive at the Los Angeles court on time tomorrow for the trial.
Afterwards, Ye Heng turned on the news and took a look, and found that the government of the beautiful country was using this matter for publicity.
"Beautiful Country has hired top lawyers for Ye Heng, crimes have no room for maneuver in Beautiful Country!"
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ye Heng's face.
"It seems that the beautiful country is planning to use this trick to promote itself and win votes for the president by the way."
"Tsk tsk tsk, but it's none of my business, as long as Pierce can be sent to prison, it will be considered a success!"
Chapter 78 Craniotomy
The next day, as soon as Ye Heng arrived at the gate of the court, countless reporters immediately surrounded him.
"Director Ye! What do you think of this incident?"
"Director Ye! What do you think of the lawyer arranged by Pretty Country?"
"Director Ye! Can you tell us about your next movie?"
Ye Heng turned around slowly, facing the reporters.
"Everyone, I believe that in the beautiful country, there is a price to be paid for everything you do."
"No one can escape the punishment of the law."
"Unless the country is an outlaw place."
After speaking, Ye Heng turned around and entered the court, ignoring the reporters.
After the court session, the lawyers prepared by the government for Ye Heng began to show all kinds of evidence to rage against the lawyers facing him.
And this lawyer is indeed a top-notch lawyer. After he came up, he took down the lawyer that Connor hired at a high price in a few tricks.
Under lawyer Ye Heng's series of attacks, Pierce's lawyer was completely killed.
In the end, the court sentenced Pierce to 30 years in prison for several counts under the Pretty Country Act.
The hacker was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Several gangsters who threw Molotov cocktails were also brought to court, and all were sentenced to more than ten years.
But there was a Carter gangster among them, and his lawyer argued for him that he was mentally ill and couldn't control himself most of the time.
And also took out a certificate of psychiatric diagnosis, but looking at the date, it seems that it was issued only yesterday.
At the beginning, everyone was surprised and envious of this little gangster's tricks.
Because no matter which country you are in, mental illness can never be called breaking the law!
However, it is not easy to obtain this kind of certificate. After all, no matter who has this kind of thing, it is almost equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death.
But in the next second, when Ye Heng's lawyer once again displayed his astonishing professional skills.
After a few sentences, the court successfully sent Carter to St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital.
After learning of this result, the little gangster named Carter fainted on the spot.
For this result, Ye Heng is quite satisfied, basically everyone is close to prison.
The one who didn't go to prison went to a mental hospital, but Ye Heng had heard about the reputation of St. Elizabeth's mental hospital.
Where would it be better to be sentenced to life imprisonment.
"Mr. Ramesh, thank you for your help today."
Ye Heng stretched out his hand to the lawyer beside him, with a smile on his face.
