Chapter 1270 Someone behind?
Someone behind Chapter 1270?
This evening, not long after Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis returned to the hotel room, the phone rang on their bodies. Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Some unexpectedly found that it was the phone still used by the domestic party.
Although Xiao Yao doesn’t like being interrupted by official business while on vacation, it doesn’t mean that he won’t answer the phone. Especially Fang has been working with him for so many years, and they are very familiar with each other. Calling him at this time, there must be something to do, so Xiao Yao immediately picked it up.
“Hello!” Xiao Yao greeted him normally after the call was connected.
“Boss Xiao, are you still having fun at LV? What is your record in the casino? Did you win or lose?” The Fang on the phone still said a series of questions.
“How did you know that I was in LV? How did you know that I went to the casino?” Xiao Yao asked rhetorically.
Xiao Yao is on vacation and traveling abroad, so he must explain to his agent. However, Xiao Yao only told Fang that he was going to the United States. He didn’t say which city he would go to, let alone learn how to count cards or go to the casino.
“Are you not going online to watch domestic entertainment news during your vacation?” Fang still said.
“You also said it was a vacation!” Xiao Yao said, “I don’t care about entertainment news when I am not on vacation, let alone I am on vacation in the United States now?”
After a pause, Xiao Yao guessed again: “Did someone see me in a Las Vegas casino, recognize me, secretly took a photo of me, posted it on social media, and was discovered by the gossip entertainment media. ?”
“It’s not too much difference,” Fang still said, “but it’s not an ordinary passerby, it should be an American entertainment reporter. They took pictures of you entering and leaving the casino and sent news reports. Say you are in the United States with American entertainment. Don’t watch the news?”
“I didn’t watch it.” Xiao Yao said, “No time to watch!”
“No time?” Fang still said, “Didn’t you go on vacation? You don’t do nothing. You spend all day in the casino, right?”
“Of course not,” Xiao Yao said, “but I haven’t watched TV or watched the news online.”
After Xiao Yao came to Las Vegas, almost all of them went to the casino during the day and part of the night. Only part of the night was considered as a real travel activity time. He really didn’t bother to pay attention to any news, whether it was from the United States or China. of.
“What? Because I went to the casino, the American media gave negative comments?” Xiao Yao continued to guess.
“The reports of the American media are okay. They basically report the fact that you went to the casino. There is no subjective evaluation,” Fang still said. “The main reason is that when the Chinese entertainment media reprinted those American media reports, many of them regarded it as negative. It’s reported in the news that you are addicted to gambling.”
“Indulge in gambling?” Xiao Yao said, “Is it that exaggerated?”
“Let me ask you first,” Fang still said, “Have you been to many casinos in LV? Every time you go to a casino, do you stay for a long time?”
At this time, Xiao Yao still had nothing to hide from the other party, and admitted: “Yes!”
“Why?” Xiao Yao then asked, “These are also mentioned in the media reports?”
“Yes!” Fang still said, “The US media reported that you went to the casino and published seven or eight photos of you entering and exiting different casinos. In addition, the report also said that you spent a lot of time in the casino. Look at these two points. Many Chinese media think that you are already addicted to gambling.”
If there are only one or two photos in the news report, at most Xiao Yao has been to a casino. It may not have anything to do with addiction, and it will not have such a big impact now. After all, Las Vegas is a world-renowned gambling city. Almost everyone who comes here will go to the casino to experience it. It is not a big deal for Xiao Yao to be there. But the problem is that there are too many photos in the report, and the background of each one is a signboard or gate of a different casino. This feels different.
“You are a star and a public figure. You should establish a positive and positive image for the public, but you are addicted to gambling and set a very bad example for everyone.” Fang continued, “China has reproduced the news from the American media here. After that, it spread quickly. Many people are dissatisfied with your behavior and publicly criticize you in the media and the Internet. Now the trend of public opinion is very unfavorable to you.”
“I’ll go,” Xiao Yao said somewhat unexpectedly, “Do you also think I am addicted to gambling? Is it that serious?”
For the media reports that he appeared in Las Vegas and entered and exited the casino, Xiao Yao was actually mentally prepared. However, in Xiao Yao’s expectation, even if it was reported by the media, that means he had been to a casino in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a world-renowned gambling city. Almost anyone who visits here will go to the casino to experience it. This is not a big deal. But now the listener still said, it seems that things are very different from what he expected.
“Of course I am not worried that you will be addicted to gambling as reported in the report,” Fang still said, “but now there are many people who think so. This is a recent hot news on Huaxia Internet, which has a great impact. Me and work The heads of several departments in the office have met and discussed and felt it necessary to give the public an official response. I called you today to discuss this matter with you.”
“Understood!” Xiao Yao thought for a while, and said, “The official response is not urgent. I think there is something wrong with this matter. You should first mobilize resources to check if someone is pushing this matter later, and then I am here. We will also find someone to check the sources of the American media, and when the results are available, we will decide how to respond.”
“There is a problem?” Fang still said, “Are the photos fake? No? The studio has asked someone to analyze it. Also, did you just say that you did go to a lot of casinos and stayed in the casinos for a long time? ?”
In fact, after China’s reprint report came out, a well-known PS master on the Internet came out and said that the photos in the report had not been processed by PS. Fang still asked the studio to find a professional technician to analyze it yesterday, and the conclusion was also real picture. Otherwise, Fang still didn’t need to discuss with Xiao Yao, so he would deal with it himself.
“There is no problem with the photos, and I have indeed done everything.” Xiao Yao said, “but I suspect that those photos were not taken by entertainment reporters.”
“It was not taken by a reporter?” Fang was still surprised.
“I’m a photographer, I’ve been a guest reporter, I’ve dealt with many reporters, and I know some behaviors and habits of paparazzi reporters who are good at sneak shooting.” Xiao Yao said, “I acted very carefully during this period, although I didn’t. I deliberately guard against sneak shots by reporters, but I also pay attention to the surrounding environment when I go out. I think it is possible to get one or two photos taken by reporters without knowing it, but I have taken seven or eight photos. I’m aware of it.”
“Also,” Xiao Yao continued, “I’m in the United States, not in China. I haven’t seen my face in the United States for more than a year, and I am Chinese again. The average American is not sensitive to my looks at all. During this time I was in The U.S. doesn’t wear a mask or hat on the streets, and no one recognizes me. Even if a reporter is better than ordinary people and recognizes me, the first choice should be to try to interview me instead of following me for a few days.”
“So, I suspect that someone is behind it.” Xiao Yao said at last, “Only by finding out who is doing it and what the purpose is, we can decide how to react.”
“Okay,” Fang still agreed, “I will arrange for someone to find out about the media reporters who originally reposted the US media news. See if anyone is behind them.”
Fang still believes in Xiao Yao’s ability to discover the sneaky paparazzi reporters, and he also agrees with the logical deficiencies in the behavior of American reporters that Xiao Yao said later.
“Well, let’s contact again!” Xiao Yao said, “Keep in touch!”
“Yang, what’s the matter?” Tim Haggis on the side asked when he saw Xiao Yao hung up the phone.
When Xiao Yao received the call, he and Tim Haggis were in the living room of the suite. When Xiao Yao and Fang were still talking in Chinese, Tim Haggis did not understand, but from the change in Xiao Yao’s expression when he answered the phone, Tim Haggis could feel that something was wrong with Xiao Yao.
“Encountered some trouble!” Xiao Yao said, “Tim, I need your help!”
When Xiao Yao wants to check things in the United States, the first thing he wants to find is of course Tim Haggis beside him.
“What do I need to do?” Tim Haggis said immediately.
“Wait a minute!” Xiao Yao swiped his mobile phone a few times, feeling that it was not convenient, so he went to the bedroom to get a laptop computer and put it on the coffee table in the living room to operate.
“It’s like this. Now China has some news reports that are not conducive to me…” While operating the laptop, Xiao Yao gave a brief introduction to Tim Haggis.
“China media reports are not good for your news?” Tim Haggis said strangely, “I, the FBI in the United States, can help you?”
“Yes!” Xiao Yao said, “You don’t need to take care of China’s affairs over there. I need you to use your identity and resources as an FBI agent to help me check some American affairs.”
“Investigation?” Tim Haggis said, “As long as it is not illegal, there should be no problem. What are you looking for?”
“The news that China Media reported about my going to the casino came from American media. The first to publish my news was this American Entertainment Weekly,” Xiao Yao moved the laptop computer in one direction and motioned to Tim. Haggis looked at the computer screen, “The key is the photos in this report! I think these photos should not be taken by reporters of this media, but by others. I hope you can help me find out where they are from. I got these photos!”
“These are all photos of you entering and leaving the casino.” Tim Haggis reminded, “Is it possible that the casino found out that you were counting cards, so they sent someone to secretly take these photos and send them to the media. The purpose is to cause Isn’t it good for your public opinion, let you go back to China and stop going to their casino?”
“I have considered it and think it is possible, but it is unlikely.” Xiao Yao said, “The casino has the final say in blacklisting gamblers and does not need substantive evidence. If they think I count the cards If so, just put me on the blacklist and let all the croupiers at the blackjack table refuse to serve me. There is no need to troubleshoot this!”
“Well, I’ll find someone to check it for you!” Tim Haggis took out his phone.
“Wait, there is one more thing!” Xiao Yao said.
“What’s the matter?” Tim Haggis asked.
“Remember what I told you on the phone when I called you to come to Las Vegas?” Xiao Yao asked.
“I was troubled by a few locals, and you beat them up?” Tim Haggis said, “Of course I remember!”
“Just remember,” Xiao Yao said, “I didn’t want to bother about those people, but since I have asked you to investigate them, you can also find out who these people are!”
“We have the name of the media and the name of the signed reporter. We know who to check and how to check,” Tim Haggis said, “but the person who troubled you that day, you didn’t just leave after talking. Are you there? Do you have information about them?”
“No.” Xiao Yao said, “However, with your FBI’s ability, you know that the other person’s looks can’t find people? That day, the incident happened on the street, and the roadside was monitored. You can adjust the monitoring at that time. I can know what those people look like. In case the surveillance doesn’t capture the face, I can also draw you a sketch and draw their looks!”
“Sketch?” Tim Haggis said, “I remember. Back then, I heard the old boss Hal said that the sketch of Mary you helped us draw can be directly put on the computer for comparison. Since it is In this way, you can just draw a sketch for me, so that I won’t go to the local police station to monitor it.”
“Good!” Xiao Yao nodded.
“Then you can draw, I’ll find someone to help check the source of the photo.” Tim Haggis picked up the phone and dialed.
After the call was connected, Tim Haggis looked at the computer screen in front of him and said: “Hey, Hans, I need you to do me a favor! “American Entertainment Weekly” reported that Chinese star Yang Xiao has repeatedly entered and exited the LV casino. News, the signed reporter is Ryan Fletcher. I suspect that the photos published in this news were not taken by reporters of this media. I want to know the source of the photos. Why? Personal affairs, help friends! Ha, of course it is. He! Okay, I have a chance to introduce you to you! As soon as possible, contact me as soon as I have news, thank you!
“How do you feel that there is something about me?” After Tim Haggis hung up, Xiao Yao looked at him and smiled.
“New York airport hijackings, fashion week robberies and kidnappings, you are very popular among American police officers!” Tim Haggis said, “There are a lot of people who want to know you.”
“So, actually I don’t need to ask you for help, just ask that Hans directly?” Xiao Yao smiled.
“Yes, Hans will not refuse to help you, but only if you know Hans.” Tim Haggis curled his lips, “Well, hurry up and draw a sketch. I’ll take a picture and send it to someone later.”
“OK!” Xiao Yao raised his hand, found paper and pen to draw a sketch.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Yao’s first sketch was completed. Xiao Yao went on to draw the second picture, and Tim Haggis took the first picture and prepared to take pictures.
“Wait,” Tim Haggis suddenly called Xiao Yao, holding up the sketch and asked, “Is this guy the one who did it with you?”
“Yes,” Xiao Yao nodded, “Among the four, he is the tallest and strongest, and his movements look a bit professional. How, do you know?”
People who have worked with themselves, of course, should be more impressed. Xiao Yao’s first sketch was the black vest.
“It should be!” Tim Haggis nodded, “He is a professional fighter, nicknamed Tiger. I watched his game in Los Angeles.”
Looking at the avatar alone, Tim Haggis just felt familiar and couldn’t confirm it yet. However, Xiao Yao also wrote his approximate height, skin color, hair color, eye color and other characteristics beside the portrait for the convenience of others. Combining this information, Tim Haggis thinks it should be almost the same.
“Professional fighter?” Xiao Yao dropped the pen and paper and said, “That should be easy to check, other people don’t need to draw, right?”
“No, I can definitely find him.” Tim Haggis nodded and picked up the phone.
