I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 698 The Mysterious Old Clock (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)

Paris, Rue d'Ulm.

Located in the Pantheon district, it is named after Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Ulm.

The gray-white building facade exudes an air of solemnity and reverence in the night.

This is a six-story building that houses the offices of several non-profit organizations and foundations.

At 4 a.m. on April 9, a deafening explosion rang out in the quiet streets of Ulm.

Flames shot out of the windows of both offices, then quickly receded...

The entire exterior wall of the office was blown to pieces, with bricks and tiles flying everywhere, and car alarms blaring from both sides of the road.

……

The two offices that exploded were part of the high monk's office space in Paris.

On the night of the explosion, there were still people working inside.

Police found two bodies in the rubble.

Based on the on-site investigation, it was caused by a gas explosion.

It is estimated that the explosion was caused by employees forgetting to turn off the gas while cooking a late-night snack.

But the monks disagreed.

They insisted that it was deliberately created and suspected Liu Jin because of his criminal record.

He once posted a $50 million bounty in America.

FBI: No, that's not true, you're talking nonsense!
"But Mr. Amos has been detained at the Sixth Precinct police station since the day before yesterday."

We reviewed the surveillance footage; he hasn't come out of the police station since he was taken in. Aside from one meeting with his lawyer under police supervision, there's been no sign of him contacting the outside world. Tell me, how did he manage to place the bounty?

"Furthermore, according to our monitoring on the deep web, no hidden fees have been issued in the past 48 hours."

"It must be him, he injured our people."

Perhaps he has connections with the Chinese government?

"In fact, according to our investigation, Mr. Amos and the Chinese government did not get along well."

He has criticized the Chinese government's inaction on multiple occasions. The Chinese government, however, believes that he is crying wolf and deliberately framing him.

"This is impossible!"

“Nothing is impossible. The above information has been confirmed by our Americana colleagues.”

The head monk's representative remained silent!

"If it's not him, then who is it?"

“We are investigating.”

……

After seeing off the head monk's representative, Police Chief Jerome of District Six returned to his office.

He called the on-duty police officer and pulled up the surveillance footage again.

"What are they doing?"

In the surveillance footage, Liu Jin, Zhang Guorong, and Lao Zhong are standing in the cell, seemingly arguing about something.

The officer chuckled, "They're discussing whose ass is perkier than Tom Hanks'."

Tom Hanks's butt is an America meme, and an old one at that. I bet people born in the 90s, or even the mid-85s, have never heard of it.

It originates from Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's "Sleepless in Seattle".

There's a scene where Tom Hanks and his colleague are walking down the street and suddenly start talking about shapely buttocks.

He thought his buttocks were very perky, and even spun around on the spot.

Before Evans's "perky butt" came along, Tom Hanks was once synonymous with a perky butt.

However, this meme didn't spread very widely. After Captain Ass was released in 2011, "buttocks" became Evans's signature phrase.

"They seem to be having a very relaxed time."

"Chief Jerome laughed."

He then asked the sheriff who had been called over, "Are you sure they haven't contacted the outside world?"

"Absolutely not. Amos's phone was confiscated after the concert, and the police gave him a guitar."

Yesterday, he was either discussing music with Leslie or talking about fighting with that guy surnamed Zhong. They even discussed whether Krav Maga was transformed from Chinese grappling techniques... The two of them sparred a few times, but it wasn't too intense.

Chief, I know what those guys are up to.

They wanted to frame Amos because Mr. Amos had made them lose face in front of the whole world.

But after the incident, Mr. Amos remained at the police station and did not contact the outside world. How could it be him?

Chief Jerome rubbed his temples.

"How long have you been detained?"

"It was brought in at 2:30 pm the day before yesterday, and it's 11:00 pm now. It will be 48 hours in three and a half hours."

"Notify his lawyer to grant them bail."

The passports of Amos, Leslie, and Frank Chung have been temporarily confiscated, and they are prohibited from leaving the country until the case is closed.

"Are we just going to let them go like this?"

"if not?"

"But they're going to sue them."

"It's still uncertain who will sue whom!"

Director Jerome sneered, "Didn't you see the tone of today's newspapers?"
Amos isn't some powerless international student; his celebrity friends and rumored girlfriends are desperately trying to clear his name. Those celebrities have far more influence than those people; those people, frankly, are just a bunch of sewer rats… What did Leonardo DiCaprio say again: "KBFZ or FY! They can't hold out."

Bar Lefari, Eva Green, Emmanuelle Béart, and Julia Levi-Bourken are all of Jewish descent or of Jewish descent.

Unfortunately, these individuals were on the front lines when the attack occurred.

Emmanuel was also injured and was released on bail. He went to the hospital and is still under observation and monitoring there.

If you say those people aren't FY, then what are they?
Why was Emmanuel injured when everyone else was unharmed?
Okay, although she is not Jewish, she is definitely of Jewish descent.

The winds are starting to shift! And this is only from the local French media; Hollywood and other international media haven't followed suit yet.

If other countries' media follow suit, then the problem will become serious!
Nicolas Sarkozy is tough and unwilling to bear the reputation of an FY country.

Chief Jerome picked up today's Figaro from the table and threw it in front of the sheriff.

"Amos is not only a writer, but also a supporter of feminism."

He has gained a greater voice for French and European actresses in Hollywood, and he is a representative figure in this field. Right now, it's just the actresses around him speaking out, but if this spreads, I guarantee that at least half of the actresses in Europe will support him and speak out for him… Just think, what will happen if he continues to be imprisoned?”

“I will notify his lawyer right away.”

……

At 12:30 p.m., forty-six hours after Liu Jin was detained, Chloe completed the bail procedures for the three of them, and they walked out of the police station.

Reporters, having heard the news, came running.

"Mr. Amos, what are your thoughts on being indicted?"

"Amos, don't you want to say anything to those innocent people you injured?"

"Amos, do you have violent tendencies?"

"Amos, they say you are a representative of the Chinese government. Do you have anything to say?"

"Amos, say something."

"..."

Liu Jin stopped and looked at the reporter who had asked him to apologize to the 'innocent'.

Which media outlet are you from?

"La France"

"Ha, so it's a newspaper that makes a living off the meager profits of the local economy!"

“Mr. Amos, we at La France have always been impartial and have always adhered to the principles of fair reporting and truthfulness.”

"Really? Have you reported on the crimes committed by the little devils in Asia during World War II?"

The Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, the Bataan Death March—did you ever report these events to the people of Europe? You've been licking the boots of the poor, only for the meager rewards they give you. What right do you have to discuss fairness, justice, and transparency?

In this regard, Le Monde, Libération, Le Figaro, and Les Echos are all more authoritative than you.

In an instant, flashes of light illuminated the police station entrance.

Liu Jin then said, "As for the 'innocent people' you mentioned, haven't you seen their true colors?"

When they stabbed Leslie with daggers, you must have been blind. Next time you're robbed, never resist, or I'll have my lawyer represent those 'poor' 'innocent' victims and prosecute you for your violence.

As for whether I am a member of the Chinese government?

I am Chinese! My eyes, hair, and skin all prove that I am a pure-blooded Chinese...

Okay, let's go take a walk in District 13. It's full of Chinese government officials.

I have nothing to say to stereotypical racists like you… In your eyes, does being an outstanding Chinese person necessarily mean you're with the Chinese government? You idiot, your father must be regretting not shooting you against the wall back then.”

Liu Jin's insults were extremely vicious.

He has no gentlemanly mentality whatsoever, and he doesn't curse people without using foul language.

The reporter who asked the question was scolded until his face turned red.

"Amos, Noemi asked me to give her my regards to you."

She said she no longer loves Leonardo DiCaprio; she's your fan now.

"Thank you for her kindness, but Leon will definitely come after me..."

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter came from the crowd.

A stretched Lincoln limousine pulled up in front of the police station.

The car window rolled down, revealing Leonardo DiCaprio's handsome face.

"Amos, Leslie, Old Chung, get in the car!"

Liu Jin and the other two immediately protected Chloe as they emerged from the crowd, quickly got into the car, and sped away.

"Hey, Amos, how are you?"

"Absolutely wonderful!"

Bar then poured a cocktail from the liquor cabinet and handed it to Liu Jin.

Leonardo DiCaprio then tossed a cigar to each of the three men.

"Why aren't Ali and Eva here?"

"They accompanied your niece back to Burge."

"Is Qianqian hurt?"

"No, she's very clever. She was hiding in the crowd and sneaking around... but she was terrified when you didn't come out that day."

Fortunately, Ali and Eva were with her; they accompanied her back to Burg yesterday afternoon.

"My mom's side..."

"The old lady is fine. Qianqian called last night and said that the old lady praised you and said you did a great job."

Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the old lady is alright!
To be honest, he didn't expect things to turn out this way.

I originally intended to escort the torchbearer to the end of the relay, but I didn't expect those people to be so crazy, they even used knives...

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have gone so far as to kill.

However, the explosion on Ulm Street...

Liu Jin lit a cigar, and wisps of smoke curled upwards.

He looked through the smoke at Old Zhong beside him: Old Zhong, you still say you're not a member of the Hongmen?
