Chapter 962: A crisis of trust
A few police officers squatted down and used their fingers to check for Mayor New’s breathing. After confirming that he was dead, they took off their hats. A poker card slowly fell from the sky and landed on the mayor’s chest, which had been blasted into a bloody hole. His eyes were dull and he died with a grievance. Very quickly, the police had all the reporters locked up. The reporters were all confused. The reporters with the exploding microphones were even being interrogated. But no matter how hard they beat them up, the reporters couldn’t give a reason. And because they arrested and beat them up, it raised doubts from the companies behind the reporters. After the autopsy report was out, a staff member came over and asked the examiner,””How is it? Which microphone in the testing area exploded?” The invigilator frowned.”I’m afraid this bomb is very clever. I’ve searched all the crime scenes, but I couldn’t find any powder that was used to ignite the bomb. It’s hard to determine which microphone set up the bomb.” “No explosives?” “Then how do we make a bomb and detonate it?” the clerk frowned. The examiner shook his head.”That’s also what I can’t figure out. I’ve checked all the microphones that were blown up, and there was no wireless control device in the wires of the microphones. There was also no explosive content in the microphones, so I can’t find which microphone or media company is suspicious.” “f*ck!”The clerk rubbed his brows and looked discouraged.””Do you know that all the media companies are questioning the security around the mayor? we were the ones who let these media reporters in, and we’ve also searched and checked their bodies. In other words, if we can’t find the murderer, all the media reporters have to let them in, which is equivalent to letting the murderer go! If we don’t let them go, they’ll attack our security measures for not being adequate. We let them in, but we can’t find out who the murderer is. We can only let them go and respect their freedom of the press. ” The examiner smiled bitterly.”My team has already examined almost the entire scene and all the physical evidence. We’ve even examined the media and reporters. We didn’t find any explosives that could be used as a lead to point out which company’s microphone had a problem. There’s nothing we can do.” The clerk could only smile bitterly.”Another group of people is going to lose their jobs. Damn it!” Mayor New’s death cast a shadow over the city. Just a moment ago, the townsfolk had seen him standing in front of the media with his mouth wide open, but in just one day, he had died! He was a Mayor, but he was dead! For the entire day, many panic-stricken citizens stood in front of the City Hall, demanding an explanation for the case. However, when night fell, no one came out to explain that they had caught any murderer. In fact, at this moment, even if the townsfolk wanted to hear you say some words of encouragement, it would be in vain. At that moment, a group of police officers came over to the government building and said,””Let’s go. Everyone’s busy. Everyone wants to catch the murderer. Don’t just wait here. Let’s go. ” “We just want to know if the government has made any progress. It has been 24 hours since the explosion, but you have not come out to say anything. What have you done?” “The enemy is very cunning, and it will take some time to investigate the case. We are not gods, so please calm down!” An acting mayor walked out and said,”but you have to believe that we’ve done our best to maintain the security of New York City. You can see police officers patrolling 24 hours a day everywhere to protect you. We’re also doing the bomb disposal work of the entire city. Everyone knows how big New York City is. Give these security teams some time. They’re all working overtime. Understand us and disperse.” The 20-odd townsfolk all nodded. They could only give up on protesting. No one got into their own cars and prepared to go home. When the acting mayor saw them get into the car, he heaved a sigh of relief and praised himself for his eloquence. He felt that he could definitely become the mayor. The moment he turned around, the cars that the townsfolk were in suddenly exploded! Eight of the cars exploded, and the police officers were shocked. They quickly ran over to save the people, but the empty cars parked by the side of the road started to explode, and the shockwave of the explosion sent them flying. The acting mayor witnessed all of this. He lay on the ground and leaned back, his chest heaving up and down violently. He had never experienced this before. He watched those people die in front of him. This scene was too shocking. “Call the security team over!” A soldier immediately shouted to his Deputy. Not long after, the security team rushed over to clean up the scene and said,””It’s normal. There are no bombs. The vicinity is safe.” The acting mayor was still in shock. He looked at the security team and asked,””You still haven’t found the bomb?” The person in charge of the security team pushed up his glasses.”If we can’t find it, that means there are far fewer bombs than we thought. We’ll probably be able to clean them all up by tomorrow morning. By then, we’ll be able to ensure the safety of New York City.” “Safe?” The acting mayor pointed at the car ruins and shouted,””That’s what you mean by safe? It’s right under my eyes, the bomb is right under my eyes! What are you guys doing? No, this can’t go on. We can’t find the murderer, but the bombs are coming wave after wave. They’re too arrogant. They’re bombing the government’s place. They’re deliberately provoking us!” The mayor’s Secretary walked over and said,”it’s on the headlines again. The panic has escalated. The White House wants us to find the murderer as soon as possible. Also, we have to stop the explosion from happening again. New York City can’t afford to do this anymore. Most of the citizens have asked to leave New York City, but because it’s not convenient for us to investigate, no one has left. However, the consequence of this is that if we don’t find the murderer soon, the citizens will lose confidence in us. Sure enough, the news of a citizen being killed in front of the City Hall’s entrance in front of a group of police officers had attracted a wave of scolding and condemnation. “God, they’re right under your nose. How stupid are you? didn’t you realize that the bomb was in the car? So much tax revenue from America is used to feed a bunch of trash?” “I really can’t believe that this is a government that I can rely on. They believe in the government so much, but even the police can’t protect them from the explosion.” “To be honest, I still can’t accept this fact. Can’t the police do a test around the city Hall building? Why didn’t you notice that a bomb had been planted in a citizen’s car? The security team says they’re looking for bombs every day, but the bomb killed your citizens right under your nose. May I ask what you’re doing?”
