The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 336
Century City, Fox TV Center.
Halle Wayne walked through the big room at the news station and entered his own independent office.
Strictly speaking, this is a large partition, specially equipped for senior journalists who run inside and outside the station.
There are many civil scrambles and rules on the TV station, but the reporters who go abroad are capable, dare to think and do, and can achieve results. Fox will also give generous treatment.
Halle Wayne is relatively free at work. Not only does she have an independent office, but she can also follow the news she wants to pursue.
She got a lot of scoops in Los Angeles.
Since the Venice Beach Club incident last year, Halle has developed some news informants and has sent out many business cards in Southern California, with her mobile phone number and email address.
If she can find valuable news clues, she can conduct an investigation.
Harley turned on her computer, logged on Twitter first, and browsed hot news. The hot topics of Twitter are still focused on reconstruction after the Los Angeles fire, and targeting the former mayor and several former donkey party congressmen.
She keenly realized that the relationship between the newly-taken mayor Brian Ferguson and Twitter was unusual, and Twitter was almost full of positive news.
City Hall sources also revealed to her that Twitter is the top two subsidy companies in the mayor’s economic development plan.
Although this is normal at the policy level, Harley thinks that you can follow this aspect.
Harley opened the email again, and there were several unread emails in it. She clicked on them to check them one by one, and was soon attracted by an email.
The above are photos of several forms. After clicking on the open-air, you can see the names of many people, followed by blood test records, blood test time, where to sell, etc.
The table below is a list of organ transplants, which records in detail the information of donors and transplanters, the time of the surgery, etc.
On the appendix list of these forms, there are professional instructions from the Medical Center affiliated to the Ackerman Charity Foundation.
Harley’s right hand holding the mouse shook slightly, and immediately opened an encrypted hidden folder, and after she called out the Venice Beach Club, she investigated some materials.
The Venice Beach Club was nominally founded by Bro Derek, an executive of Ackerman Pictures, but in fact it was owned by the Ackerman family. The fire burned down all the remaining evidence from the club, and the two committed suicide and the upper class’s conspiracy quickly returned to peace.
Halle retrieved information from someone, Guerrero, who committed suicide by jumping off the building. He had a girlfriend named Ailin, who was studying at Caltech.
When she found out about Caltech, Ailin was missing.
Halle suspected that these were done by the Ackerman family.
The Ackerman Charity Foundation is the largest industry of the Ackerman family.
Harley found two local bankrupt people in Los Angeles and called: “Hi, Bunt, help me check if two people are OK.”
There said, “Do you have a name or a social security number?”
Halle said his name, and the company they once started: “Thank you.”
There was a quick reply from the side: “They were unable to repay the loan after bankruptcy, unable to pay the support of their divorced wives, and became homeless.”
Harley hung up the phone and wanted to call a friend from the Los Angeles Public Health Department to check the corresponding blood product batch number in the form, but hesitated for a moment and then took his hand back.
If the content recorded in the form is true, checking this way will easily alarm the other party.
Harley made the record, downloaded the email, and made a backup, and replied: “The news clues you provided are very valuable. Can you meet and talk? By the way, give $500…”
She deleted the rewrite number: “The informant fee is given to you by $1,000.”
At the end of the email, Harley left her work phone number and clicked to send it.
Waited for a while, no reply.
Harley decided to check it out, not familiar with blood products and organ transplants, so she checked it online.
This investigation revealed the promotional website of Ackerman Medical Center.
The Medical Center has opened a large number of blood stations in Southern California areas such as Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. People in need can go and sell blood anytime, anywhere.
As a journalist who runs social affairs, Halle has a certain understanding of the real social situation of a beautiful family.
There are many ordinary people at the bottom of society who rely on selling blood to make a living.
Harley wrote down the addresses of several blood stations, found the bags that could be photographed secretly, changed into old clothes, left the office, drove an ordinary Hyundai car downstairs, and headed straight to the Hollywood area.
Not far from Century City, there is a rescue station affiliated to the Ackerman Charity Foundation.
In the same block as the rescue station, there is a blood station affiliated to Ackerman Medical Center.
Halle has been to that area and has some impression of it. The poverty in Hollywood is constantly increasing, there are many homeless people there, and most of the residents and renters are at the bottom of society.
In less than half an hour, Harley found the blood station, and there were many people selling blood.
She was about to go in, and before getting off the car, she took out the wet wipes, took off the already light makeup on her face, and took off her watch and bracelet, making herself as depressed as possible.
Harley looked as frightened as she could, and walked into the blood station alone.
There are many people selling blood, and the corresponding prices are posted on the wall. This is a legal industry with clear prices.
Harley turned her body slightly and took pictures of the blood-drawing window.
A Mexican man with a beard came in from outside and took a promotional coloring page and sat on a bench to read.
Garcia followed him from Century City to this place.
Halle went to consult the staff at the blood station and learned about the situation while shooting.
When she came out of the blood, she discovered many violations, such as not testing whether the blood seller has infectious diseases, and did not even have the most basic test strips.
Among the blood sellers Harley photographed, there are obvious problems with several people, and they seem to be senior addicts.
Such people have a high chance of getting infected with AIDS or other blood infectious diseases.
Harley drove, preparing to go to the next blood station, passed by Ackerman Charity Rescue Station and found that several medical vehicles were parked at the door of the rescue station, with banners hanging on it with free physical examinations on it.
She remembered another organ transplant form in the email, which was mainly from healthy homeless people and illegal immigrants.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Before the medical car, someone was waiting for a physical examination and received the gift.
Halle saw the parking lot sign, drove around to the back of the rescue station, and entered the parking lot.
Garcia and Carlos, who were following behind, immediately took out their cell phones and made a phone call.
Halle got out of the car and just left the parking lot, she found an older Mexican wandering man sitting at the door.
Judging from the other person’s appearance, he should have been on the street for a long time.
She took out a dollar, put it in the broken hat in front of the other party, and said, “I’m here to find someone. Can you ask you something?”
The old man looked down at the banknotes, grabbed them and stuffed them into his pocket: “You said.”
Halle said the name on a table: “Do you know Ward Praus? He is my cousin and was divorced a year ago and was left on the streets. I found out that he was in this area.”
The old man thought about it carefully and shook his head: “I don’t know you.”
Halle’s purpose was not to find someone, and she said, “By the way, he gave me the last message, saying that he had obtained the charity’s physical examination report at the rescue station.”
The old man understood, afraid that Harley would not know, so he snatched the words: “Does the physical examination report show that he is sick? Will the charity help with free treatment?”
“Yes, that’s it.” Harley remembered clearly, and it was written on the email: “But after that, Ward disappeared and I could no longer contact him.”
The old man looked around and said, “There are many such people. I have been here for a long time. Many people who were sick and received free medical treatment after physical examinations did not come back. I listened to the people at the rescue station. Some people chose to return to society to work normally after they recovered from their health, and some people left Los Angeles.”
Halle asked, “It’s good for them.”
The old man shook his head repeatedly.
“I’m very anxious. Ward has been missing for a long time. His child has been asking for his father.” Harley did not say that she was a reporter, and showed her acting skills, with an anxious face: “If you know how to find someone, can you tell me?”
The old man said, “No one of the people who left here came back. I don’t know exactly what happened.”
He pointed to the opposite side: “Did you see that woman? Go and ask her. In the first half of the year, her brother got on the charity free medical car. There was no news. The rescue station said that he went to work abroad and she had asked the client to find it.”
“Thank you.” Harley left here, found the woman, and said her future intentions.
The Mexican woman said, “Don’t look for it anymore. I found it now. They looked for the places they said, but no one was found. I also called the police, but the police said that the affairs of the homeless people were not under their control.”
Harley looked very sad.
“I have set up a family group of missing persons on Twitter to help each other and you can join if you are interested,” the Mexican woman said.
Harley thought of the name of the entire form, and their information, and said, “Thank you.”
The two exchanged contact information, and the Mexican woman also left her a number for the Twitter group.
Harley returned to the car, immediately turned on her laptop, logged into Twitter through the wireless network card, and joined the group.
There are already more than a dozen people in this group, and many people above are leaving messages to find people. Some people claim to have sneaked into Ackerman Medical Center and found that there are big problems.
Harley chatted with these people for a while and confirmed that the qualifications received in the email were all true.
In the office of Butterfly Security Company, computer and communications expert Yero turned off Twitter.
Everyone in this group is true, but everyone is from the butterfly.
Classic group screenwriter in the era of online media, a bunch of scammers and a client.
They will use the group established by Twitter to guide Halle’s actions and allow this righteous female journalist with Fox asylum to realize the justice in her heart.
He even helped her win the Pulitzer Prize once. (End of this chapter)
