Los Angeles Police Detective Bureau.

Luke rushed to the police detective station and was already surrounded by reporters outside.

After a while, I saw a familiar figure, Nami Inoue.

The police officers came out to maintain order, and Luke's car successfully drove into the police detective station.

Luke parked the car and saw Rhett leading someone down from the Detective Bureau building.

"Director, are you going to hold a press conference?"

"Yes, you can come too."

Luke walked over and asked, "What happened?"

"Some families of Steven Community College victims have accused the Los Angeles Police Department of inaction, which indirectly led to this terrorist attack."

Luke was a little confused, "The Los Angeles Police Department was no longer responsible for investigating terrorist attacks yesterday. The terrorist attack occurred just this morning at the community college. What does this have to do with our Los Angeles Police Department?"

"Do you know Melche Morano?"

"Knowing that her boyfriend was a victim of a bioterrorism attack, Jordan Reddy."

Speaking of Jordan Reddy, we have to mention another terrorist Tapani Regan.

Tapani Regan was a veteran who served in the Middle East. During his service, he entrusted his good friend Jordan Reddy to take care of his wife and children.

After retiring from the army, he returned to the United States and discovered that Jordan Reddy had an improper relationship with his wife, which led to the separation of Tapani Reagan's wife and his imprisonment.

Luke found out that Tapani Regan was suspected of being a terrorist and speculated that he might take revenge on Jordan Reddy.

So we took people to Jordan Reddy's house to protect him, and also deployed control at West Community College in advance.

It was also at that time that I met Melche Morano at Jordan Reddy's house.

Reid said, "Melche Morano claimed that the police had discovered that terrorists might attack Steven Community College, but they did not pay enough attention, which led to the occurrence of this terrorist attack. If the police could

Take responsibility and the students and teachers at Stevens Community College will not die."

Luke frowned and said, "This is to pour dirty water on us."

Rhett sighed, "You must not accept this basin of dirty water. Otherwise, if you are accused, our detective bureau will have to pay for it."

"You are right, we must make this matter clear, otherwise the unscrupulous media will surely seize it and hype it up."

Reid said, "I will take the lead in this public opinion war, and you will be responsible for assisting."

"No problem." After reaching a certain position, dealing with the media has become one of the tasks of the job, and Luke has already been mentally prepared.

Under the arrangement of the police, reporters entered the compound of the Police Detective Bureau in an orderly manner.

Although Reid does not believe that the Los Angeles Police Department failed in its duties in the terrorist attack, the police did conduct surveillance at Stevens Community College. Many leaders of the school know this. Jordan, the victim of the terrorist attack,

Reddy’s girlfriend Melche Morano is also an insider.

Since there is no way to hide it, it is best to take the initiative to make the matter clear before public opinion expands. If someone with serious intentions really takes over the high ground of public opinion, it will be difficult for the police to overturn the situation.

"Dear reporters, I am the Deputy Director of the Detective Bureau, Reid. I invited you here today because I heard some bad remarks. I feel it is necessary to make things clear. If you have any questions, you can ask the police.

, instead of reporting some distorted news without any evidence."

Rhett made a gesture of invitation, "Let's begin!"

A female reporter asked, "Chief Reid, I heard a news that the police had known in advance that a terrorist attack might occur at West Community College. Is this news true?"

Reid explained, "The police do not have the ability to predict in advance, and they will not proactively tell the police the location of the attack in case of danger. The police just summarize some of the clues found and analyze and speculate.

As of yesterday, the police are no longer responsible for investigating terrorist attacks, and we have handed over all relevant case files to the Department of Homeland Security."

The female reporter asked, "In other words, the Department of Homeland Security did not pay attention to your analysis and speculation."

Rhett shrugged, "Then you have to ask them. I can't answer this question."

A woman with tears on her face and a haggard face squeezed to the front and said in a questioning tone, "Director Red, my name is Melche Morano, my boyfriend is a teacher at Stevens Community College, and he was also responsible for this terrorist attack.

Victims of eucalyptus, I have a question that I hope you can answer directly."

"Say it."

Melche Morano held up a photo of her boyfriend, her voice choked with sobs, "On March 28, the police came to my home and said there was a terrorist who might retaliate against my boyfriend. The police also conducted a police investigation at Stevens University.

Controlled.

You have already taken specific actions, and if you can stick to it, this morning's bioterrorist attack will not happen, and my boyfriend and his students will not die."

Rhett said, "Actually, I have already answered this question. Since you asked it sincerely, I will say it again.

The situation you mentioned does exist, and the police did carry out relevant surveillance on March 28.

But on March 29, terrorists carried out a terrorist attack in the city hall.

The police officers led by Captain Li of the Robbery and Murder Division also successfully prevented this terrorist attack.

But this did not bring much honor to lapd, and no one cared about the efforts and dangers of the police officers.

Instead, a small group of media with ulterior motives claimed that the Los Angeles Police Department should not be involved in terrorist attacks in order to increase news ratings.

They feel that we have too much power and even accuse us of abusing our power.

Under the pressure of this kind of public opinion, the Los Angeles Police Department had to withdraw from the investigation of the terrorist attack. It is not that we are irresponsible, but we can no longer continue the investigation because our 'power' is too great!

This makes our police officers feel aggrieved and confused.

A police officer asked me, Chief, did we do something wrong?

Shouldn't we be catching terrorists?

Shouldn’t we protect this city?”

Rhett sighed and spread his hands, "I feel very sad when I hear these words. I don't know how to answer!

Our police officers took great risks to arrest terrorists, but were accused by the unscrupulous media of having too much power.

But no one cares about the personal safety of police officers, and no one cares about the feelings of their families."

Rhett looked solemn and his voice was contagious. He looked at Melche Morano in the audience and said, "Madam, I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer?

But we at the Los Angeles Police Department have really tried our best.”

Melche Morano looked dazed for a moment, then slowly turned around, looked at the many reporters, and shouted with a cry, "It was all you who killed my boyfriend. I also saw those who accused the Los Angeles Police Department.

news.

If you hadn't accused the LAPD of having too much power and they would have participated in the investigation of the terrorist attack, my boyfriend would not have died, and those students would not have died. It was you who killed them."

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Then, some family members of the victims came forward and began to accuse the news media of ulterior motives.

Even reporters dare not directly face the anger of the families of victims of terrorist attacks.

Fortunately, there were police officers to maintain order, so there was no chaos.

A white male reporter stood up and asked loudly, "This afternoon, an explosion and fierce gun battle occurred in an apartment in downtown Los Angeles.

It was said that the FBI was arresting terrorists, and I found Captain Li of the Robbery and Murder Division at the scene.

Since the LAPD has withdrawn from the terrorist attack investigation, why was he at the scene?"

Red and Luke looked at each other and said, "Captain Li is here, let him explain in person."

Luke walked onto the stage and said, "Yesterday, I received a notice from the top brass of the police department that due to the pressure of public opinion, the Los Angeles Police Department decided to withdraw from the investigation of the terrorist attack. To be honest, when I first received this order, my subordinates and I

All the police officers felt a little uncomfortable.

But we still obeyed the order and handed the dossier to the Department of Homeland Security.

This morning, there was a terrorist attack at Stevens Community College.

The head of FBI counter-terrorism approached me and hoped that I could assist her in handling terrorist attacks.

Not only am I a lapd, I am also a criminal investigation consultant for the FBI.

So I am now investigating this terrorist attack as an FBI criminal investigation consultant."

Rhett continued, "Captain Li loves this city deeply.

He is also doing his best to protect the city.

This is what many of our police officers think too, and we love this city deeply."

"Pa bang bang..."

There was a burst of applause from all around.

This press conference was not long.

But the effect was very good, and it promptly reversed the negative public opinion against the Los Angeles Police Department.

Today's online media is very developed. Not only reporters can speak out, but various self-media can also publish news and videos.

There are even calls for the Los Angeles Police Department to rejoin the investigation of terrorist attacks.

But this proposal is obviously inconsistent with the procedures.
