Chapter 1069 The spread of terror
Jefferson is an ordinary small town boy from Montana. He has no connections and his resume is not outstanding. It is normal for him to not get into a prestigious Ivy League school, but the Northwestern University he is currently studying is also one of the prestigious schools.
Located in Chicago, Northwestern University is of course a famous name in the United States and has cultivated many well-known people.
Most of the students here advocate liberalism, and any ideas and identities are respected. Jefferson’s favorite thing is to buy books in second-hand bookstores because new books are too expensive!
Although the library is large, the interesting books inside are often borrowed by others, so Jefferson's dormitory bed is almost filled with cartons filled with books.
He is not a top student in the traditional sense, and he is still good at academic performance. He is incomparable to the passionate white guy in the first row of the classroom, the Indian beauties who only packed their schoolbags when the library is closed, or the Chinese top student who perfectly overcomes language barriers.
When everyone is a top student, people who like reading books like this and who don’t like socializing will be somewhat unknown.
"Hi, Jefferson, are you going to the bookstore again?" The black guy next door just closed the dormitory door.
Jefferson looked up and replied, "Yes, what are you doing now?"
The black guy pointed to his backpack and said, "I have to go to the court to train. Jessica and the others organized a party tonight. Are you going?"
"Let's say it then, goodbye."
We live on the same campus, but some are busy studying, some are busy trading stocks, and some are busy starting a business. Everyone seems to have their own small world, and they are struggling with wind when walking, racing against time.
Northwestern University is a four-term school in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It only lasts more than two months per semester. The classroom progress is very fast, so students are also brought out of this fast-paced life.
However, Jefferson is the exception. He likes to live a leisurely life and is incompatible with the surroundings.
Walking out of the dormitory, Jefferson admired Lake Michigan, which could not be seen in the distance, as vast as the sea. The carefully carved church in the distance contained stained glass reflecting various colors of light, and the sun shone through the shade of the trees on the green grass.
Second-hand stores are very popular in the United States, and the most common ones are all kinds of clothes. However, Jefferson came this time not to buy clothes, but to buy old books.
The prices of these books are basically between $5-8. For example, the original price of John Castro's "Pacific War 1941-1945" he bought last week was $22, but it only costs $5 here. The book is not damaged, saving a lot of money!
"Good morning, Orphen, are there any new books today?" Jefferson greeted the cashier familiarly.
A middle-aged black woman with a somewhat obese figure was putting on books. She turned around and said with a smile: "You are lucky. Yesterday, several students came to sell books. He seemed to be leaving school. There was a very new set of "The Lord of the Rings". These three books looked very new and could be taken away for only $15. I left it here specifically."
Jefferson spread his hands and said helplessly: "Sorry, I already have "The Lord of the Rings". When it first came out, I went to the next B&N bookstore to buy it. I didn't expect to see them in the second-hand store so soon. It's really hard to understand. Someone will sell them!"
Zhang Chu's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is a book that was released in the first half of this year. It was just released and it was impossible to enter a second-hand store, so Jefferson reluctantly paid for the paperback version.
"That's a shame. I know you've always liked his works. If you don't need them, I'll put them out and they should be bought soon."
After Orphen finished sorting out the second-hand books, he walked to the front desk with his plump buttocks, waved a local newspaper in his hand and said, "Did you read this news? The new book of the writer you like is about to be released. It is said that this time there are many serial killers in his new book!"
Jefferson, who was flipping through the photography collection, put down this beautiful California town in the United States, "Is he going to publish a new book so soon? I have to go to the bar one less time. Can I lend this newspaper to me?"
"You can take it casually, I have several more copies here."
"Thank you, you are such a kind and generous person!"
After Jefferson got the Chicago Times, he sat down on the old sofa in the second-hand store and read it carefully. The news about Zhang Chu's new book was quite prominent in the second edition.
"Thriller based on real events? "The Silence of the Lambs"? Why didn't the listing time be written?"
As a person after the new century, Jefferson is only nineteen years old this year and has no impression of the serial killers in the last century. He looked confused when he saw these names listed by news editors. He had no idea what they had done that was worthy of being written into it!
"Ed Gain, Ted Bundy, Gary Hyde Nick?"
Jefferson searched his mind carefully and confirmed that he really didn't know these people, so he decided to search for it on Google. To carefully understand Zhang Chu's background, it might be helpful for reading.
He folded the newspaper, took out his phone from his bag and searched Ed Gain, and found that this guy actually had Wikipedia!
It would be fine if I didn't see it, but I was startled by the bloody pictures as soon as I saw it.
There is no high-energy warning or barrage protection here. Jefferson's facial features are squeezed together, and those photos cause strong discomfort!
This person living on the East Coast of the United States is so cruel. Although he has only committed three murders, he shocked the world and became one of the most terrifying killers in the world.
The skin of the female corpse was peeled off and made into various objects, such as trash cans, lampshades, sofas, and human skin belts were worn on her body. The weirdest thing was that he was still wearing the woman's skin and moving around!
At this moment, Jefferson regretted it very much.
Why do you want to search for this person? Now the so-called "crafts" images have been lingering in your mind, making him feel so disgusting!
However, Jefferson is not alone. Ed Gain's Wikipedia and Google Images have increased by millions today. Millions of netizens have searched for these demons after reading the news, and they are almost surprised.
The impact of the pictures is so strong that even the Chicago Times newspapers dare not put them directly on, for fear of scaring the children!
This is Random House’s big hard promotion, with such soft advertisements published in newspapers across the country, attracting readers to discover the stories behind these cases.
Now on Twitter trend, the discussion on "Zhang Chu-serial murder case" is increasing, and this trend is simply a lot of imagination!
