Chapter 398: J’s self-directed performance? Why did you take a picture of Ellie?
Looking at Su Ming's sudden fierce expression.
Bruce only felt an unprecedented pressure. This pressure did not come from the body, but from the mental urgency.
This pressure.
It's more powerful than a last-minute buzzer-beating shot in the playoffs.
Blue was so nervous that he was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately came to his senses and nodded in response without hesitation.
"Yeah, in rock-punk clothes."
“I’m absolutely not wrong about that. The bidding was really intense, but this guy just called out a high price of $500,000.”
"It immediately made us lose the desire to bid, and no one continued to bid."
"Although Ellie is very good-looking and has a previous modeling background, it would be a shame to spend $500,000 just to be in close contact with her for one night."
"To be honest, even I am reluctant to spend this money."
"I really don't know where these rich people came from. It seems like spending $500,000 is easy and convenient."
Bruce answered in the affirmative.
Su Ming did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket, cut out the picture of J from the video of the previous torture of little Morgan, handed it to Blue, and spoke.
"Is this the person?"
Blue quickly raised his head, looked at the photo in Su Ming's phone, and immediately nodded with wide eyes.
"Yes, that's him."
"Although I can't quite remember what he looked like just now, I definitely remember his recognizable rock-punk outfit very clearly."
"The customer who spent $500,000 to buy Ellie was wearing a similar outfit to the one in the video. Although the color of the clothes was slightly different, the style was absolutely the same."
"Moreover, after seeing this photo, the vague impression in my mind immediately became clear."
"This guy is the customer who took the photo of Ellie. He will never make a mistake. He took out $500,000 without blinking an eye."
It's obvious.
The originally vague impression has now become exceptionally clear, allowing Blue to give an answer so confidently.
at this time.
After getting this answer, Su Ming thought seriously for two seconds, and then said meaningfully.
"Don't even mention half a million dollars."
"Even if he calls out $500 million, there's nothing strange or unexpected about it."
"Because the man in the photo is the hidden boss behind the Knight Bar. No matter how much money is called out, he doesn't have to pay the real price."
This information.
This quickly stunned Blue, who had been excited and confident before, and then he looked at the photos on his phone again and asked with confusion and doubt.
"That's not right, Detective Su."
"If this man is the boss behind the Knight Bar, then why did he take this photo of Ellie?"
"If you don't do this, wouldn't you be able to easily make hundreds of thousands of dollars?"
"If you take a photo of Ellie yourself, won't you get no US dollars? And if he is interested in Ellie, there will be plenty of time and opportunity to have fun."
"I think I mentioned it before... the female companions in the Knight Bar have their personal freedom restricted. Even when we go out to have fun, we can only do it in the private room on the second floor of the bar. We can't take the female companions out."
"If people knew about this kind of fake auction, I think... no one would be willing to go there anymore, right? At least I definitely won't go there again."
It's obvious.
As a guest who has participated in the auction.
Bruce had a particularly deep memory of the scene at that time, and he remembered it very clearly... many guests with some dollars in their pockets kept bidding all kinds of prices in order to capture Ellie's first night.
If it was just to raise Ellie's price and he pretended to be a customer to drive up the price, Blue could still understand it a little.
But this was not a delay. The real bid of $500,000 was raised, which resulted in other people not wanting to continue bidding with their pocket dollars, and they just bought Ellie directly.
Regarding Bruce's doubts and confusion.
Su Ming did not answer immediately, nor was there any need to answer. Instead, he tapped the table with his fingers and thought seriously.
As Blue says, this situation is indeed somewhat contradictory.
Putting Ellie up for auction as a commodity is undoubtedly for the purpose of earning dollars while establishing as much connection with the American elite as possible.
But now...J took the photo of Ellie himself, making both of the previous benefits go to waste.
From a normal businessman's perspective, this is obviously something that is extremely inappropriate. If we make a deeper assessment, there seem to be only two reasons.
The first reason.
J felt that auctioning Ellie as a commodity did not attract valuable elites, who were basically old customers like Blue, so he did not want to continue wasting time.
This reason has a fatal flaw, which is...even if the photo is bought by an old customer, you can still earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is better than getting nothing.
As for the second reason, it is undoubtedly...
Ellie had clues about the murder of little Morgan, so J had to choose to take the picture himself.
Because, if Ellie tells this matter while serving other customers, it goes without saying how terrible the consequences will be.
Plus.
J had previously announced that Ellie would be auctioned as a commodity, so he certainly couldn't cancel it midway, as this would undoubtedly affect the reputation and publicity of the Knight Bar.
In order to avoid affecting the publicity credibility of the Knight Bar and to prevent Little Morgan's affairs from being told to other guests by Ellie, J had to choose to bid for Ellie himself.
As for why not just get rid of Ellie and make her shut up forever.
The reason is very simple... No matter what, Ellie has a good-looking appearance. It would be a great pity to kill her directly.
In the end, because little Morgan's body was dug out, J also understood...no matter what the reason was, Ellie must not stay.
He just happened to be able to serve as a scapegoat for Q, so he was completely shut up in the Queen's Casino.
This can explain...why there are other female companions who are controlled in the Knight Bar, but only Ellie is dead so far.
Think of this.
Su Ming also roughly understood how to verify his inference. He then looked at Blue who was still in confusion and gestured slowly.
"Blue."
“Although I didn’t get to photograph Ellie’s first night, I think… you should go to the Knight Bar again the next day to see if you can experience what it’s like to be a famous model, right?”
"At that time, was Ellie still on the menu of the Knight Bar?"
