Chapter 639 Motive
Otway Film Company is located in a three-story office building in the suburbs.
When Luke and the two arrived by car, Otway Stone was already waiting downstairs.
He looked at Luke who was getting out of the car and said with a complicated expression, "Captain Li, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." He looked around and lowered his voice, "I thought I had made it clear.
In fact, I did tell you everything I know."
Luke said, "Mr. Otway Stone, please don't be nervous.
The main purpose of our coming here is not for you."
"OK, let's talk in my office." Otway Stone's tone was obviously relaxed, and he led Luke into the building.
This office building is very grand, and there are still a few old posters hanging on the first floor, which should be movies that Otway Film Company has shot before.
But Luke has never seen these movies.
In fact, this is normal. The United States shoots hundreds of movies a year, but only a dozen of them are really popular and remembered by people.
Otway Stone's office is on the third floor. I met several film company employees on the way, and they were obviously a little distant when they greeted Otway Stone.
Otway Stone complained, "I haven't been to the company for too long, and it's time to straighten out these loose guys.
The most important thing for a good film company is creativity and execution, and I can no longer see these in them."
After entering the office, Otway Stone closed the door and asked Luke to sit down. "What would you like to drink?"
"no thank you.
We just want to talk to you."
"OK, what do you want to talk about?
If you still think of me as a murderer, then I advise you not to waste your time.
I still say the same thing, I have nothing to do with the case of Gary Coffey."
Luke said, "When we were investigating the murder of Garian Coffey, we found that Garian's father was also murdered thirty-nine years ago. Both of them died while serving as the chairman of the Coffey Group.
So, we want to understand the history of the Coffey family and see if the two cases are related."
"The history of the Coffey family?" Otway Stone frowned slightly.
"That's right."
"Then you have found the wrong person. Galian, who I only met a few years ago, doesn't know anything about his family's history. Why don't you ask Galian's wife?"
Luke asked, "I have a question, how do you do a Coffey family documentary if you don't know their history?"
Otway Stone smiled and said, "I understand." Otway Stone picked up the landline phone on the table and said, "Jessica, please send the information about the Coffey family documentary to my office. Hurry.
a little."
After hanging up the phone, Otway Stone said to Luke, "Captain Lee, that's all I can help you."
"Thank you very much." Luke said politely and asked, "When are you going to shoot the documentary?"
"In three days, I will hold a start-up ceremony here."
"So fast?"
"A documentary is not difficult for me. Oh, by the way, you can watch the information about the Coffey family, but you can't take it away.
We will also use it before the official shooting."
"clear."
Otway Stone lowered his voice, "I won't mention it to anyone else."
"certainly."
"Dong dong..."
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in."
A black woman with short hair walked into the office and put a stack of documents on the desk, "Mr. Otway Stone, here is the information you want."
"Are they all here?"
"Yes.
It took three months to prepare this information.”
Otway Stone curled his lips, "By the way, prepare an invitation letter for the opening ceremony, which will be held in three days."
Jessica was a little surprised, "Is it too fast? The casting for the documentary has not been determined yet."
Otway Stone shook his head, "This is not something you should consider. Do your job."
Jessica shrugged, "I understand, are there any other instructions?"
"Close the door."
Jessica left the office and closed the door.
Otway Stone waved his hand with some dissatisfaction, "I haven't been here for too long, these people have forgotten my way of doing things.
We need to get used to each other again." Otway Stone patted the document in front of him and said, "Gentlemen, this is the information you want about the Coffey family. I hope it will be useful to you."
"Does this include a documentary script?"
"Yes, the top script is the initial script. I have read it this morning. It can be said to be unremarkable. There will be changes later.
Although I don’t have high hopes for this documentary, what needs to be done must still be done.”
Luke nodded, "Mr. Stone, our reading of information here may affect your work. Can you give us another office?"
"do you have any requests?"
"As long as no one disturbs me."
Otway Stone thought for a while, "The lounge is next to me. You can go there to check the information. If you have anything, you can call me at any time."
"Thank you." Luke and Xiao Hei took the information and went to the lounge next door.
Entering the lounge, Xiao Hei put a stack of information on the table, "This guy gives me the feeling that he is not professional at all, as if he is rushing to catch up on a project. It seems that the Coffey family documentary is going to be messed up."
Luke said, "Stop worrying about him and do our own work."
Xiao Hei picked up the script placed on top of the information and asked, "Do you want to read this?"
Luke hesitated for a moment, "No, reading the script directly will give people a preconceived idea.
It’s better to read the information first.”
"It's up to you." Xiao Hei shrugged and looked to himself.
Luke also picked up other documents on the table and looked through them.
These materials span a wide range, from the establishment of Coffey Company in 1960 to the present day, including the sixty-year development history of Coffey Company and the family, which mainly records the gradual growth of the family and company led by Burnett Coffey and his son.
At the same time, it also records the impact of changing times on the culture, economy, and politics of Los Angeles.
Luke felt that the information was somewhat false, and at the same time, he remained skeptical about the authenticity of some events and the angle of description.
"Damn it, the screenwriter of this documentary is a bastard. He is completely confusing right and wrong." Xiao Hei threw the script on the table and swore directly.
Luke asked, "Any questions?"
Xiao Hei picked up the script and looked through it, "Here.
This script deliberately discredits others in order to beautify the Coffey family, and there is no authenticity at all."
Luke picked up the script and didn't look directly at the page where Little Black Finger was, but started reading from the first page.
The documentary begins in 1954. At that time, Burnett Coffey, the founder of the Coffey Group, was still a young man of about 20 years old. He had conflicts with his parents because of conflicting ideas and ran away from home.
After that, he met his wife and started his first business with her support and encouragement. Unfortunately, this business was not successful.
However, his efforts were recognized by his family, and with the support of his parents, he started his second business and founded Coffey Company.
Burnett Coffey also married his wife, and soon gave birth to his first son, Gary Coffey.
Coffey Company gradually grew in scale under the management of Burnett Coffey and became a well-known enterprise in Los Angeles.
In the documentary, the Coffey family members are absolutely positive characters. Each family member is friendly to each other and positive. For the completeness of the story, some supporting characters must be added, and most of these supporting characters have negative images.
For example, a black female secretary of Burnett Coffey was taken care of by Burnett Coffey because her family was poor. However, she misunderstood this kindness and developed a good impression of Burnett Coffey and took the initiative to join him.
Hugs and hugs were exchanged, but Burnett Coffey loved his wife deeply and remained unmoved.
The black female secretary was unwilling to give up and used various means to seduce Burnett Coffey. Not only was Burnett not tempted, but she told her wife about it and transferred the black female secretary from her post.
The black female secretary became angry and left Coffey Company angrily.
Ordinary people might laugh at this plot, but Luke suddenly thought of Michael Kamara's sister.
Michael Kamara's sister should be the prototype of this black female secretary. She was only thirty-two years old when she died. Burnett Coffey was killed with a crossbow while worshiping her.
According to the description of Michael Kamara's wife, Michael Kamara's sister did have an inappropriate relationship with Burnett Coffey, but it was forced by Burnett Coffey, and Michael Kamara
