Chapter 458: The disappeared murderer

However, the development of things afterwards did not go as Charlotte expected--

Jack the Ripper did commit another murder.

However, he only committed another murder.

——He did not commit six consecutive murders, complete the dragon-slaying forbidden technique, and then extract the power of the earth veins near Hogwarts as Charlotte expected.

After committing the second murder, he suddenly disappeared.

This made the police gentlemen of New Scotland Yard very angry, but also very fortunate.

—— Annoyed because the other party disappeared like this, it became very difficult for the police to solve the case.

Although it was a copycat (imitator), the other party was indeed very cautious in committing the crime, and no useful evidence was left to the police-of course, this was the idea of ​​the police officers.

——As scientists, they would never think of the possibility of ghosts and monsters.

In this case, if the police want to solve the case, they can only hope that the other party will continue to commit the crime, and eventually leave flaws.

But now that the other party disappeared like this, this possibility naturally disappeared.

——In the record of New Scotland Yard, 80% will add two more outstanding cases.

As for the reason for rejoicing, it is even simpler——

You must know that the police can never catch the murderer in successive murders. In modern society, it will be under great pressure from public opinion.

Now that the other party can take the initiative to stop and disappear, the pressure on the police will be much reduced.

——Although many responsible policemen will not be happy because of this.

In contrast, reporters who really watch the excitement are completely unhappy——

After all, without such a big case that attracts readers' attention, everyone has to look for news again.

——You guys are so easy to find as news! ?

Some reporters even have the urge to make news on their own.

——Just like in the Jack the Ripper case in 1888, three letters are said to be sent by the murderer. Except for the one named "From Hell", the other two letters were later confirmed to be the work of reporters.

"Parrot" Polly had similar thoughts.

However, he is proficient in the use of wiretap and has a better understanding of modern forensic science. He knows that the technical power available to the police in this era has far exceeded the nineteenth century.

——To put it simply, if he forges a letter from the murderer, the possibility of being caught by the police is very high.

What's more, even if he can forge the letter seamlessly and guarantee that he will not be caught by the police, he can't replace the murderer and commit the crime!

-Polly hasn't fallen to that level yet.

At least, his current life is pretty good, there is no need to take that risk.

"Parrot" Polly just regretted that he lost a chance to become famous in World War I.

Fortunately, life quickly compensated him——

The filming of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has ended and will be officially released in the United Kingdom and the United States on July 31.

——According to the description in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this day is actually Harry Potter's birthday.

Fans of the original book are naturally very happy if they choose to hold the premiere on such a day.

And because of the various propaganda during the preparation and shooting of this film, the media's attention has also increased.

What's more, the time difference from the end of the shooting to the release of the movie is very short this time-

"Can the quality of the film be guaranteed in such a short post-production time?"

At the press conference, "Parrot" Polly asked this question directly.

In this regard, director Charlotte’s answer is very confident.

"In our movie, many post-production special effects are produced in advance. Therefore, after the actual shooting is completed, we need to do less post-production work-this is also my confidence to make "Harry Potter and the Magic" soon "The Stone" was released."

——It turned out to be like this!

As a "technological stream" reporter, "Parrot" Polly still has some understanding of the filming process.

He also knew that the other party's approach might not be infeasible.

However, he was still prepared to question the quality of the film "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the newspaper.

——After all, this is more attractive to readers, isn’t it?

***********

Charlotte also guessed early on that the media would question the quality of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

No way, who made this special effect made in advance, and the time in the later stage has indeed been greatly shortened?

-Putting a fully produced movie in a warehouse to accumulate dust, but it will drive up the cost.

It would be better if it can be released as soon as possible.

As for the media's suspicion, Charlotte believes that as long as it is not one-sided, a certain degree of controversy can enhance the effect of propaganda.

The final effect depends on the quality of the movie itself.

In short, in addition to letting people continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the media and avoid the one-sided look of the media, Charlotte does not intend to intervene too much.

At this time, while overseeing the final editing and soundtrack of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", he has already transferred his energy to the preparation of the new movie "The Mummy"——

"The location scene in the Moroccan desert has been basically completed. Old Gun, if you go this time, you must set up all the locations in advance in accordance with the requirements given by me."

In the London office, Charlotte arranged work with the assistant director, Lao Qiang, who had a wry smile on his face.

"After filming "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", immediately set up the "Mummy" set, Charlotte, I think we really need to take a break after filming this movie!"

"you're right!"

Charlotte nodded.

"Actually, before picking up the movie "The Mummy" ~lightnovelpub.net~ I thought so too-but Mr. Franklin on the green paper can't refuse!"

"I agree with this point!"

The old gun smiled, then looked around, then lowered his voice,

"By the way, is there any special part related to spells in your request this time?"

"Well..."

Charlotte was silent for a while.

"Yes, but there are, but the most influential props-including "Sun Zhenjing" and "Undead Black Book" are still in production, so you don't have to worry too much about that..."

"All right!"

The old gun shrugged.

"To be honest, I am also a little interested in those spells now-if you can transform those spells into props so that ordinary people like us can use them too!"

"This is a bit difficult!"

Charlotte shook her head, but her eyes were bright.

"However, it is an interesting direction to try!"

...

"Is it better to solve Jack the Ripper's problem before you make an interesting attempt?"

After the old gun left, Alexis, who had been in a hidden state, suddenly appeared and asked angrily.

Charlotte did not answer this question immediately. Instead, he asked another question.

"Alexis, you are in shape now, can you stop entering my office in an invisible way-so that no one sees you in, but there are too many situations where someone sees you out, others will misunderstand you!"

"What are you afraid of! Many secretaries have this part-time job anyway!"

Miss Valkyrie didn’t care,

"As long as Sally doesn't misunderstand it!"

"……All right!"

Faced with the cheeky Alexis, Charlotte had nothing to say.
