Psychological Control - Chapter 104
Only three days after the work contract was signed, Abide’s studio arranged all the staff schedules that would participate in the shooting. So before Dillon could get an echo from his friend, I turned around and blinked away without fear of death.
After all, it is a formal job with a contract, and so many staff members act together, such as a lighting artist and makeup artist, various assistants and the like. I think that even if Abid had killed the red-haired model and had the heart to continue to kill the next target, he would not choose to do it at this time.
Because in the design concept of Abide, the background of this hard photo is outdoor, but also a place with sufficient natural light and clear lake water. Therefore, the final shooting location was set in Yosemite Falls, California, which ranked the sixth highest mountain in the world.
In order to avoid the endless crowd of tourists, all the members of the photography team, including Abid, climbed the mountain road for several hours and reached the highest level of the waterfall, that is, the position on the rocky cliff, carrying the deadly dead. Equipment and a set of cosmetics, as well as fishtail and hair accessories that can’t stand the bumps.
I arrived at the foot of the mountain at nine in the morning, and then began to climb non-stop, and the pre-surveyed shooting location was already two in the afternoon after three shots. However, we ca n’t start shooting right away. In addition to the camera crew preparing equipment and setting up reflectors, because according to Abid’s request, I had to wash the sweat and dirt from the snow water that could freeze people.
When I finally pressed the cold and couldn’t help shaking, I sat in a chair and waited for the makeup artist to look at my lips, and I was as white as the dead. While letting the makeup artist apply to my face, I looked at the corners of my eyes and looked at Abid who was making the final adjustments to the fishtail outfit.
At this point, the makeup on the face was almost finished, and the hair stylist had begun to hand it from Abid to her box, and took out the hair piece that I had previously suspected to be made of the hair belonging to that model, ready to give me Straighten her hair and connect it.
Strangely, I thought that Abide would have paid extra attention to the situation here at this time, and according to my current state, because I didn’t get enough rest early and spent too much energy on the road, and Appearing to be particularly weak, it should be more able to arouse Abide’s sadism.
But Abid, who was so absorbed in his work as soon as he got into his work, didn’t give up any extra attention to discover my state! This is in marked contrast to the psychological profile I used on a paranoid murderer.
If he really killed the previous red-haired male model, let alone the memorabilia of his last victim was displayed by the public, even if he looked at my current state, even if he would not obviously show excitement, It should be completely unnoticed.
But if he really didn’t kill that male model, and the red-haired male model just disappeared for some reason, it would be too far-fetched. No matter how I look at it, I think that the only male model that was missed in Dillon’s comprehensive information or happened to be broken by him and had a common appearance with me should be related to him.
After putting on makeup and putting on a fishtail cover that completely restricted my own movement, I barely drank a cup of hot coffee to warm up, and was picked up by Abid from the chair. I put it like a dolphin and put it In the stream. The stream at the source of the waterfall has the deepest water only to my chest. In addition to the slightly turbulent current, the safety is still guaranteed.
Throughout the rest of the day, until the end of the sunset sun, none of the staff members of the photography team were free, and they were constantly alive for the shooting. So naturally there wasn’t anything like the moth that Dillon was worried about.
The only thing that makes me feel hard is the shooting intensity. According to the requirements of Abide, a paranoid perfectionist, the model’s swimming position in the water must be perfect, and the light must be perfect. The photo cannot be completely adjusted afterwards. As a result, in order to adjust the reflector and the photographer kept changing the shooting angle, I had to fix a pose for a long time.
The most painful time was when the light was the most beautiful at sunset. I was tormented with back pain and leg pain by lifting the fish tail in the water, and almost cramped. The whole person has to be submerged in a stream that is so cold that there is no difference between snow and water, and then jumps out gracefully. Then there was a series of leaning on the rocks against the cold wind as described in the fairy tale.
So after a long day of filming, I was sneezing because of the cold, and started to have a runny nose and dizziness. It’s not that my constitution is too poor, but that the physical fatigue of this day is beyond the tolerance limit of too many ordinary people.
Moreover, my observation and analysis of Abid did not make any real progress. Because Abide’s performance today is too different from my expectations. He looks more like the kind who is too indulged in work, because the pursuit of beauty is too harsh to the extreme, only to appear weird, but it is not the type of unscrupulous killing.
One day after the shooting, we returned to Los Angeles. While twisting my nose in the hotel, I told Dillon that I suspected that Abid hadn’t killed anyone. His face was full of doubts, but he did not immediately refute my words.
“My friend compared the model you said with all the missing people in recent months.” Instead, he said of the previous survey, “Not only long red hair, but only red hair or physical appearance Similar ones were also compared. We excluded factors such as his use of pseudonyms when changing models and changing hair color and appearance. “
“What happened?” I asked the curious interface. The friends in Dillon’s mouth are actually his comrades who have retired and transferred to various public and private bodyguard companies, so the accuracy and well-informedness of the information need not be questioned.
“There were no reports of disappearances of anyone who fit his appearance and body description.” Dillon said with a frown and shook his head.
“Maybe it’s just that I guessed wrong, he didn’t disappear, but he no longer continues to be active in the modeling industry?” I shrugged and said, “And we are just too nervous? Get along with Abid at work, and observe his usual Performance, not at all like a general murderous mental profile “
“No, he is indeed missing.” Who knew that Dillon quickly and surely denied my guess. “Through the surveillance video of the building where Abide’s studio is located, it appears that the male model did cooperate with Abide. The last time he appeared in Abide Studio was two months ago, and all his social media one week later Accounts are no longer updated. “
“You also got a surveillance video of that building ?!” In his remarks, the first thing I caught was not something else, but the basic problem for normal people. I opened my eyes and exclaimed, “Generally speaking, is this illegal? Are you sure there is no problem?”
The expression on Dillon’s face stiffened for a moment. Obviously, when investigating these things, he didn’t even think about whether it would break the law. Perhaps it was because in the past they acted in the army, mostly with some gray highest authority and priority, so they naturally avoided those regulations.
“I got it from a friend who worked at the company responsible for the security system of that building. He gave it without saying … there should be no problem …” For the first time, there was uncertainty in Dillon’s tone.
Then he reacted with a brain bounce to my forehead, and his expression became serious again and said to me: “This is not the point, the point is that the model is indeed missing! But he seems to have no closer people, so no one found him. You should n’t let your guard down so easily, knowing that your psychoanalysis may not be completely accurate, and everything must be factual. “
“Oh, come on. You start to doubt my professional skills, just like Xiucai met soldiers.” I rolled him a big roll of eyes unconvinced. “The situation now is, although I know that model The name, and the news that he really disappeared, but that’s all, right? “
“This is the most detailed information I can get without actually breaking the law.” Dillon shook his head helplessly, then explained.
“If you want to find out more about the background and family of the male model, as well as the consumption records and call records according to that name, you have to enter the internal database of the police station. In doing so, you need to apply for permission in advance, not every person who works in the police station. Everyone can use those permissions like Google, and investigate others casually. “
“But I dare say that there are no fewer policemen who have been secretly doing this since ancient times, and investigate the whereabouts of his wife.” I groaned without hesitation as soon as his voice fell, “But I know you just don’t want to Make it difficult for your friends, right. Okay, no need to explain any more. I’ll go to Abid’s house to model Sophia Adam in two days, then I will try to suit his words. “
“Are you sure?” Dillon showed a dead face again. “This time is different from the work you signed the contract. You go out to shoot with many other staff members, but this time you can go to his house. You alone. “
“The clues are messed up now. You asked me to stop and pull now, just to make me tangled and distressed to death.” I spread my hands and looked innocent, “If I’m gone forever, remember to tell De Kerst, if he really wanted to break the ring because no one could watch him. “
“The first thing I looked for was Abid and Sofia.” Almost in unison, Dillon and I said at the same time. Then he didn’t recognize a smile, “And he will also get my help, rest assured that your brother will not be caught.”
It’s just a joke, no one thinks it will come true. 2k novel reading network
