Chapter 54 Press Conference
Two days later, the group returned to Los Angeles.
The subsequent development of things went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations.
After Bull Wilt's cell phone was found, it indeed contained the contact information for "H".
The Internet Investigation Department casually used some small tricks to locate "H" himself. He was not a terrorist at all, nor any foreign hostile force as the CIA suspected. He was just a cynical keyboard warrior and an ordinary plumber.<
/p>
Jack still remembers the shocked expression on his face when the FBI took him away. He probably couldn't figure out why he was arrested just because he was bored and replied to two posts on the forum.
And others may not have imagined how one Super Mario and a fired physical education teacher could cause so many casualties to society.
Press conference site
The audience was filled with reporters and photographers from various media, and the spotlights were flashing non-stop. On the stage, JJ stood in front of the podium, dressed as a decent professional woman, with her blond hair carefully taken care of.
This is also another identity of JJ. As the face of the Los Angeles FBI, she has always played the role of press spokesperson.
"Dear friends from the media, everyone knows that an explosion occurred on the Coast Starlight a few days ago. The explosion caused 3 people to be seriously injured and 17 people to be slightly injured. After the case, our Los Angeles FBI gathered the strength of all parties and finally solved the case.
The murderer was caught within 48 hours. Currently, one of the two murderers is dead and the other injured..."
JJ first explained the causes and consequences of the case, especially the motive of the Wilts. Of course, the ending of Bull Wilt was only that he was shot to death, and the murderer brothers were not mentioned at all.
Although the murderous brothers have been arrested and brought to justice, the impact of this case is so bad that it will definitely cause panic once it becomes known to the public.
The murder of an uncle and nephew has not been discovered for decades. It is shocking to tell the truth. The government will also face public doubts, so this case is destined to be sealed, and everyone has been issued a hush order. Perhaps the case will not be revealed until the files are declassified.
Announcement.
As for the CIA's involvement, it is even more impossible to say.
"The following is a reporter's Q&A session. Director Womack will answer the specific situation for everyone."
After the words fell, JJ on the stage turned sideways to give up his position. Director Womack, who looked upright, walked to the microphone, indescribably high-spirited.
In fact, he had been very anxious every day before this.
The Coast Starlight explosion is different from ordinary cases in that it has a huge impact. This route is a star tourist line and a business card of railway tourism in the Midwest.
After the explosion, the focus of the United States was focused here, and there were even speculations of a terrorist attack. It can be said that this was a huge test for the Los Angeles FBI.
Fortunately, the Violent Crime Investigation Division led by Silver was powerful enough to quickly solve the case and successfully resolve the crisis in less than 48 hours. For Director Womack, bad things turned into good things in an instant. There is simply nothing better than this.
Publicity point.
"Director Womack, how did the FBI solve the case quickly within 48 hours?"
Of course, the first person to be qualified to ask questions is the agent arranged by the FBI.
"This is also thanks to the elite police detectives of the Violent Crime Investigation Division. They are all experienced case handlers. They immediately started the investigation after taking over the case. I must emphasize that the murderer's cruelty and cunning are far beyond our imagination. Starlight
It's just their first target. If we hadn't handled the case quickly, more people would have suffered from their murderous hands..."
"I'm from the Los Angeles Times. Did the FBI receive the information in advance?"
"There is news that the bombing on Bolester Street this afternoon is also related to this case. Is anyone from the FBI injured?"
Questions were thrown out one after another, and Director Womack answered them one by one. In the end, he even made an advertisement for his Violent Crime Investigation Bureau.
Of course, the specific investigators cannot be disclosed. Although the FBI does not require the identities of agents to be kept secret, agents should try not to appear in the media if necessary.
……
Night, Wild Cat Bar
Celebrating in the bar after solving a case has been a consistent tradition since the establishment of the Violent Crime Investigation Bureau. Every time a case is solved, everyone comes here to have a drink.
Only this time, there is less Anthony and more Jack.
"The fries you ordered are ketchup."
"No, No, No... Leave the fries, take away the ketchup, don't let me see this..."
The bartender brought the French fries to go with the wine and was about to put ketchup on them, but everyone immediately resisted.
Several people from the FBI all looked disgusted. Ketchup always reminds them of the disgusting scenes underground. I'm afraid they won't be able to enjoy it for a long time.
"Cheers~~~"
The mellow and thick German craft beer flows through the esophagus, bringing a sense of refreshment, because the discomfort caused by ketchup is suppressed a lot.
It’s just that everyone’s enthusiasm is obviously not very high. I always feel that this case is too frustrating, a bit anticlimactic, and the damn murderous uncle and nephew are off-putting.
"Okay, at least those two brothers can't harm anyone anymore."
Silver didn't want to stay so dull and tried to liven up the atmosphere: "Eddie, tell me, what's interesting happening in Los Angeles recently?"
"Interesting thing? Of course there is. Let me ask first, who knows what else Los Angeles is called besides being called the City of Angels?"
Eddie is a habitual sellout again.
"What's it called? Los Santos?"
"Come on man, have you played GTA too much?"
Eddie gave Sanders a look.
"Sin City?"
"Chicago people will fight you tooth and nail if you sign up for this title."
Seeing that no one could answer, Eddie announced the answer: "Robbery City."
Seeing that everyone looked indifferent, he said angrily: "Come on, guys, don't you want to read the report? The FBI report last year pointed out that there were more than 2,400 bank robberies in Los Angeles last year.
An average of 44 times a week and 9 times a day. In other words, a bank robbery occurs every 48 minutes."
Wow, that’s really cool. It seems that the title of Robbery City is worthy of its name.
Everyone was amazed.
"But what does this have to do with the interesting things you said?"
"Because the interesting things I said were related to bank robberies. Did you know that just yesterday, the fastest-solved bank robbery in history occurred in Los Angeles?"
"How fast?"
"1 second."
"What's going on?"
Eddie's words successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.
"A guy who wasn't very smart got a pistol from the black market and was going to rob a bank. When he was ready to rush into the bank, he found that the bank was full of police officers, and he was pointed at more than thirty guns by himself.
..."
"Why?"
"Hahaha, because that guy chose a good day. The day he robbed happened to be the police's pay day."
The more Eddie talked, the happier he became, and the others also laughed.
How could someone be so stupid choose to rob a bank when the police are getting paid?
Chapter completed!
