In the summer of 88, the psychological horror mystery novel "The Silence of the Lambs" once again set off a storm of "crime" in the United States.To put it simply, this novel is a magical story in which the FBI partnered with a perverted ogre to bring other notorious serial murderers to justice.

Like many novels and movies in the United States, the most outstanding character in the story is not the protagonist, but the villain partner Hannibal who is both good and evil, an unknown foodie (hey), and a famous psychologist.

The most amazing thing is not the partner composition of this story, but that the novel comes from real stories.

Yes, in reality, some people from the police have partnered with felons to solve real cases of other serial murders together.At the moment when "The Silence of the Lambs" is in a mess, the source of inspiration for the story is Ms. Keppel, a criminology expert at the University of Washington, and Ted, a serial killer who is serving his sentence in prison.Bundy, naturally, has received great attention from the society, including the Green River serial killer case they are jointly investigating, which has once again become rampant.

This made Peter, the leader of the FBI's special operations team-after following William for so many years-finally knocked on William's door in Beverly Hills for the first time.

William received Peter warmly, as he learned many years ago, since he can't resist, enjoy it.

"Actually, I've wanted you to come in and have a cup of coffee a long time ago. To be honest, if you need to, you can move to the independent buildings on the outskirts of the villa for work. I'll ask the housekeeper to free up a few rooms for you. Is five rooms enough? Although the place is not big, at least there is a place to lie down and rest, which is better than so many people in a van."

"...We didn't follow you." Peter had to insist. If this kind of thing is not done well, the tricky lawyer of William's family, Lawy, is fully capable of suing their authorities for bankruptcy.

William smiled, he was noncommittal about Team Leader Peter's remarks, whether they followed him or not, the cook and the servant in charge of purchasing knew best.

"Well, assuming we need to follow you, then moving into your house is not considered stalking."

"You are right. If you need anything, please feel free to tell Shirley or the housekeeper in the manor. I think you must have their mobile phone number, so I don't need to do anything extra. Please don't be polite to me. You have helped me a lot." What William said was sincere, and according to Sabatino, because of the FBI behind him all the year round, he did not know how many planned kidnappings against William were easily solved.

"Cough." Team leader Peter didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only cover up his embarrassment by lowering his head and drinking coffee.

Now that they really don't know William well, would anyone still believe it?Hehe, anyway, he himself didn't believe it.Because since Sabatino took advantage of the economic crisis to win the Rockefeller Center, they can not only get dessert tea, but also get shopping cards for the underground supermarket in Rockefeller Center and free tickets to United Studios.The perks are pretty scary.It is estimated that if it is not for the fear that giving red envelopes directly will cause suspicion of bribery, William will directly give them annual bonuses.

"Look at me, I only talked about one person. You and Neil haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to talk about." William thoughtfully threw the topic to Neil who was by his side.

Yes, for company, Oscar winner Neal himself.

Neil still can't figure out why he ignored MiG's interpretation of the "Orphan" script and wanted to participate in the "friendly conversation" between Peter and William.Neil gave Peter a sneaky look, if it wasn't for Peter's "nosy" back then that helped him to become an actor today, he wouldn't bother him!

Peter secretly begged Neil again, please, uncle, I have never asked you for anything in return for so many years, only this time, just this time.

"Cough," Neil cleared his throat, "I've actually been in touch with Peter quite frequently. Not long ago, when I won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, I called in advance to ask him to remember to watch the live broadcast. Our This time, I mainly want to talk to you about the social influence of "The Silence of the Lambs."

"No. [-] on the best-seller list! It's been three consecutive weeks." William couldn't be more proud of this result, "Are you also book fans? I've asked the housekeeper to get you two novels signed by the author. Actually, I There are some more here, is one copy enough for each person? Do you want to get a few more copies for relatives and friends?"

"……no need."

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Neil and Peter spoke together, and then looked at each other in surprise.

"You want it? The FBI read the story of the perverted cannibal?!"

"Why don't you want it? Isn't it said that it will be adapted into a movie? Are you not the protagonist?"

"Hey, then give these two books to Team Leader Peter." William took the novels from the hand of the extremely fast butler, and pushed them to Team Leader Peter from the glamorous coffee table.They can't be too close, so as not to worry about each other's people.

"Thank you." Peter was really happy. Would he just say that he is a fan of the original author Thomas?

"As long as you like it." William is also very happy. His company's novels are so popular. It would be even better if they can completely open up sales within the FBI.

Facing William's sincere smile, Peter felt even more stressed.In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet: "The higher-ups feel that "The Silence of the Lambs" brought a very bad atmosphere, just like the "Bonebreaker" back then brought a lot of imitation crimes. .Even without that, the fact that the Green River serial killer has yet to be caught and that Bundy is six months away from being sent to the electric chair is a bit of a stretch. You know what I mean?"

"Are you afraid that the audience will like Hannibal too much, and then protest for Hannibal's prototype Bundy?"

"This possibility is not ruled out." The death penalty has always been one of the topics of widespread concern in American society. As a real serial killer, Bundy can be sent to the electric chair because the law of the state where he was captured has not yet abolished the death penalty.This can be regarded as a side-ball of the law, but, "Bundy is a very dangerous person. Even if he is assisting in handling the case, we are not at ease to let him survive. You know that even his inmates are afraid to be with him. room?"

"I think this kind of high-functioning anti-social element should be given a single room from the very beginning." William said with a serious face, "Is the condition of the prison not enough? Do you need me to donate to the prison?"

"Thank you for your generosity, but our topic this time is..."

"I know why you're here. Would you believe me if I said that I wasn't deliberately promoting this novel? Its current bestseller is entirely due to the charm of the work itself, as well as the drive of the previous novel "Red Dragon" .Believe me, the public relations money I spent after the novel came out wasn’t enough to buy me a watch.”

"but……"

"It is impossible for books to be taken off the shelves. We have the freedom to publish. Our books do not contain any anti-social ideas. You have seen the ending. We are promoting a kind of legal justice." William never It is absurd to think that only one novel can teach bad people, normal people are enough to have the ability to distinguish between reality and fiction, "However, I have been friends for so many years, you have helped me a lot, and I don't want to make it difficult for you Do."

Friends be friends!As long as you are willing to compromise, anything will happen!Team leader Peter "rebelled" and rebelled very quickly.

"Well, we promise that the movie will be released three years later, that is, around 91, and there will be no artificial expansion of publicity before Bundy goes to the electric chair. What do you think? This is really my greatest sincerity. Presumably you also know that every minute before a movie is waiting to be released is burning dollars, and I missed the best time for the original novel to be popular... It really is a lot of sacrifice." William's tone is so sincere However, anyone who knows him well knows that once he starts talking too much, it means he is digging a hole.

Team leader Peter was completely stunned. He only felt that what William said seemed to make sense, although he didn't know what the reason was, and then unknowingly, he owed William a debt that "caused him to lose a lot of money". Favor.

"I don't need you to do anything. If I'm really sorry, before the movie starts shooting, can we send a few actors who play FBI to go to the FBI agent training center in Virginia to learn on the spot? I guarantee that those actors are all A well-known actor with a clean net worth can also improve your external image by freeing your spy training center, don't be too grateful to me."

"...I'll go back and report to the higher authorities." Leader Peter's brain was a little dull.

"You really helped me a lot."

When sending Peter and Neil away, William still had a happy smile on his face. Helping his movie get a big gimmick naturally makes people feel happy.

After going out, away from the radiation of "William's enthusiastic smile light wave", Peter belatedly asked Neil, "Am I being tricked?"

"Did you realize it?" Neil squinted at Peter, he should retire as soon as possible with this IQ, "Jewish businessmen are very shrewd, did you know that on the first day? Even a fool is a shrewd fool. "

“Isn’t there always been a rumor that the movie ‘Because We’re Family’ is true? The rumor that William and Sabatino aren’t actually related. You know?”

"Find out the news with me?" Neil crossed his chest. Has he been so honest all these years that some people almost forgot his past background?

"Please."

"...Most of the movies are indeed true." Neil seemed helpless to reveal the spoiler.But this is actually what Sabatino has informed them in advance, hoping that they can slowly release the news.

Now Neil and other people who are relatively close have already known the relationship between William and Sabatino. Many people's reaction is...the awkwardness that has been felt for so many years has finally been explained!There is something wrong with you!

Team leader Peter felt the same way at this moment, a certain light in his mind finally turned on.

"Aren't William and Sabatino..."

Neil nodded secretively: "You know, I know, anyway, the public can't know, understand?"

"Understand!"

Soon, the thing that Sabatino was most looking forward to happened. In many people's minds, he and William have changed from Ye Luzi's CP to a sure-fire official partner. Even the FBI files have "officially recognized "The kind of official match.
