The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 246 Selective Blindness
As a janitor in charge of the water and electricity at St. Brien's Welfare School, Ronald had many opportunities to tamper with the transformer equipment, causing it to malfunction temporarily and requiring repairs.
There was a slight electrical problem in the apartment building near the school and the church.
Father Michael Baker, who was in charge of this area, called Ronald over and gave instructions: "Do a systematic inspection, repair what needs to be repaired, replace what needs to be replaced, and restore it to normal before the weekend."
Ronald took immediate action: "I'll go do a system check right now."
Father Michael Baker, who has worked at St. Baian for several years, still has confidence in this staff member: "Hurry up."
Ronald responded, returned to his office, got his tool kit, went to get the full bag of materials, and came to the apartment building.
He had paid attention to this place a long time ago and had repaired the equipment in some rooms of the apartment building more than once.
He hadn't thought much about it in the past, but after meeting that man a few days ago, Ronald had decided to do something.
As for compassion, he has no shortage of it.
But I have never had the determination to do anything.
Otherwise, over the years, all Ronald would have done was to help quietly.
What pushed him to make such a determination was that Hawke used a common yet special ability.
In most cases, money can help people make up their minds.
Ronald entered a room, opened the aluminum ladder, took out the camera from the material bag, found a suitable hidden location, installed it, connected it to the power supply, and completed the camouflage.
These were not difficult at all for him.
After finishing one room, Ronald went to another.
There are limited cameras and it is impossible to install them in every room.
Ronald specifically selected rooms that several priests, including Michael Baker, liked to go to and installed cameras there.
These priests are no different from demons.
After the installation was completed, Ronald checked it again to make sure it was hidden enough, then found Father Michael Baker and handed over the work.
The priest was very satisfied with him: "The security work must be done well."
Ronald returned to his office, took out his cell phone and made a call.
When the phone rang, he hung up without saying anything.
The area near St. Bian's Church is relatively prosperous. It is not far from the apartment road and there is a highway separated only by a tall wall.
Juan drove a modified large commercial vehicle, passed by the church, turned onto the road here, and chose a suitable parking spot.
Betty and Fiona urged Hierro, who was in charge of telecommunications technology, "Turn on the equipment and try it."
Hierro turned on the wireless receiver, adjusted the signal band, found seven cameras, and connected to them one by one.
Images of several rooms immediately appeared on the screen hanging in the rear compartment.
Betty said, "Try the recording function on each camera."
"Trying it now." Hierro dragged the mouse with one hand and typed on the keyboard with the other, his technique extremely skillful.
After a few minutes, he turned on the server and clicked on the files stored in the automatic video to play them one by one to make sure there was no problem with the video.
Hierro said: "Verification passed."
Juan started the car: "Let's retreat first."
"Wait!" Hierro suddenly called Juan: "There's movement."
Juan withdrew his foot and put the handbrake back on.
Betty and Fiona turned their attention to the monitor screen.
Hierro adjusted one of the images to its maximum size, filling the entire monitor screen.
In the room captured by the camera, a priest opened the door and walked in leading a little boy.
The priest was to give a private lesson to the little boy, telling him about God's grace.
Then, there are some things that have been widely circulated in the West since the Middle Ages.
Fiona was extremely angry and a little impulsive.
Betty held her down: "We need to save more people."
Fiona could only bear it and asked, "Doesn't the diocese know? Doesn't the archbishop know? Doesn't the Vatican know?"
No one answered her, because everyone in the car knew that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles must know, but the Archbishop would know nothing? How could the Holy See be unaware of something that had happened for hundreds of years?
But no one is willing to change this.
The victims are ultimately just poor people and consumables.
On the screen, the priest took the little boy away and the room returned to peace.
Betty reminded Hierro: "Make a copy and store it separately."
Hierro got busy.
Juan waited here for a while, making sure nothing else happened before starting the car and leaving.
That night, Campos personally delivered the video to Hawke.
Hawke knew very well that this paragraph alone was not enough, and even if it was exposed, it would become the personal behavior of a certain priest.
He asked Butterfly to collect more video and image evidence.
Mass at St. Benedict's Church is still held on time on weekends.
A large number of believers gathered and entered the church.
Andrea accompanied Nicole Kidman into the church.
The two had been here several times and were familiar with the place.
Nicole Kidman even donated money to the church.
Fiona entered the church just like last time. Her job today was still to photograph Nicole Kidman.
As the mass was about to end, Juan drove the van onto the road outside the wall and parked it at the same location as last time.
Hierro acted quickly, connecting all the cameras and turning on the recording function. Betty drove another car this time and parked not far away, acting as a lookout.
Not long after, people appeared on six of the seven screens on the truck's display screen.
The clergy, led by Father Michael Baker, brought the boys into the room one by one.
After more than ten minutes, they came over with some adults.
In each room, there was at least one adult and one boy.
The former includes both males and females.
Juan took a closer look and found that there were no celebrities or stars he knew among these people.
Then, another priest entered the empty room with a boy.
Juan specifically checked the public clergy information of St. Bian's Church and the Church Welfare School.
The priest last time was named Michael Baker.
This time, he looked carefully and recognized that the man's name was Stephen Weiss.
They are all priests listed in the public information of St. Ban's Church.
Juan and Hierro remained silent the whole time. They watched everything happen in silence, but the fire in their hearts was burning fiercely.
Most of the boys, like them, were Latino.
It is not difficult to imagine that these children are descendants of Mexican or other Latin American immigrants.
To a certain extent, it is similar to their identity.
Finally, all the rooms in the surveillance camera footage were empty.
Juan spoke up, “Make copies.”
Hierro took out the storage disk and started to get busy.
He is older and has children, so he feels more deeply than Juan, who is young, and said, "If we hadn't joined, would our family have become like this?"
Juan recalls the time when he was living on the streets: “We couldn’t even take care of ourselves.”
Hierro said: "The boss is actually a good man, he can just ignore this matter..."
Juan thought for a moment and said, "All the advantages of all the Americans I know are not as good as my boss."
He comforted her, "Don't think too much. Just work hard for the boss and we will always be worthy of the compensation we get."
Jero said nothing more and copied the video files one by one to the storage disk.
After finishing his work here, Juan took out his phone and sent a text message: "Let's go."
Betty immediately started the car and drove away.
The vans also drove out of the street.
Fiona, on the other side, left the church slowly.
The group soon reunited at the Butterfly Company, and Hierro handed a copy of the video to Campos.
Campos asked Juan to deposit one copy in a bank safe, and he took the other copy to Twitter.
On the fourth floor of Twitter, Edward received a call from Campos and immediately went downstairs to the side door. He waited for Campos to come over and took him directly to the fourth floor and into Hawke's office.
Campos placed the video on Hawke's desk and said, "There are seven videos in total. Since we only have cameras in seven rooms, the actual number may be more."
"You take a break first." Hawke opened his laptop, plugged in the storage disk, and checked the recorded video.
The video content and clarity are directly related to the subsequent processing methods.
There were seven videos in total, and Hawke watched them one by one. Six of them should be people from society, but he didn't know them.
There was another one, who was obviously a priest in the church.
Edward and Campos were both waiting for Hawke to give orders.
Hawke opened the drawer, took out a few blank discs, and asked Edward to make a copy.
He looked at Campos: "Have you collected the media list and news delivery mailbox?"
Campos nodded. "The list is ready. Both email and physical mailboxes are available. There are more than 350 media outlets in total."
Hawke did not hesitate: "As we planned, we will send people to Latin American countries to send relevant content to those media via email."
There is no doubt that some of these media outlets will report on it.
But what Hawke is worried about is that the mainstream media in Europe and the United States will simply ignore it.
This consideration is not insignificant.
Selective blindness is, after all, a basic skill.
Hawke thought of Fox TV again.
Campos prepared to leave: "I will send someone to South America when I return."
Hawke nodded: "Go ahead."
Campos walked away quickly and Edward saw him out.
Hawke picked up the storage disk with the copy, thought for a while, picked up the phone and called Megan Taylor: "Are you free tonight? Come out and talk."
Megan smiled and asked, “Why, have you figured out the sewer?”
Hawke said seriously, "I got a big piece of news, and the first person I thought of was you. Do you want to see it?"
“Okay.” Megan agreed immediately, and then asked, “Is the news a bit troublesome?”
Hawke said, "It's the same thing I told you last time. This time it's not a groundless recording, but video evidence."
Megan said directly: "I'll come to you now."
"Come on." Hawke hung up the phone.
For this matter, he still made two preparations. (End of this chapter)
