But Gillian did not pick up the fight, but secretly looked at Jamie again.

After a few seconds of silence, the conversation suddenly changed.

"Xili, as you said, the high explosives and detonators of unknown origin used in the explosion are probably the weapons missing in Orlov's murder. We are going to take over this case. I need to contact the General Administration..."

"No, after I received this case from the Immediate Crime Center, I found that the details of the case were related to the case you wanted to investigate, so I hurriedly applied to the director to transfer it to you. Currently, the investigation authority of this case is still in the Queens North District Bureau of New York.

On hand."

Saying that, Xili raised her wrist and looked at the time.

"Nearly an hour and a half has passed since the incident. This incident has been very serious on the Internet. It is a vicious terrorist attack. According to federal law, the state police should hand over the case to us!"

"Then hurry up and take action. Xili, please contact the branch's Science and Technology Department and the National Cyber ​​Security Center to track and locate all the mobile phones on Barron. The most important thing is to find the bomber who controlled him behind the scenes.

, only by threatening the bomber can Barron get out of control!"

"Don't worry, I'll go right away!"

Shirley agreed immediately.

Until the person left the office, Jamie couldn't help laughing and said: "Oh, Gillian, Shirley is really passionate about you, isn't she?"

Jillian didn't say anything, she just rolled her eyes at him.

Indeed, although she had been divorced once and was no longer young, she still had a hot and sexy figure and was quite charming. From the day she came to the New York branch, she was fascinated by Shirley.

"Let's get down to business, go to the emergency response team immediately and apply for an HRT hostage rescue team. I want to find this Barron before the Queens North Police Station!"

"Hunting out HRT? What do you mean..."

"Yes, at such a young age, he can calmly handle the terrorist bomb crisis. I doubt this Barron..."

Brooklyn Mall.

Gu Ji bit the gauze with his teeth and fixed it. He stuffed the gunshot wound with cotton to temporarily stop the bleeding.

Then he immediately put on a burgundy sweatshirt and a pair of gray sweatpants he had just bought, put on black-rimmed glasses, and used hair wax to flip his curly bangs to one side, completely changing his look.

In the live broadcast room, everyone was still asking about his situation.

[How is the anchor doing? Give me a message!]

[Brother Guozi died a long time ago, and now he is just his assistant. It is normal for people not to want to talk, right? He is almost dead, but he still needs to cooperate with you for entertainment? 】

[Look at the official NYDN news. The helicopter captured the police forensics arriving at the scene. Is the anchor injured? 】

[God, it must have been the last round of intensive shooting that hit the anchor!]

[It’s over, it’s over, injured + surrounded by two major police stations, this is going to be completely gone!]

…

At the Queens North District Police Command Center, York saw the barrage and was so angry that he was speechless and his hands were shaking. It took him a long time to shout out, "Damn the media! Who asked them to release the photos! The Bureau of Investigation also said

Didn’t the live broadcast be blocked?”

"Sorry, Director York, we're calling from the FBI's National Security and Counterterrorism Division."

"FBI?"

York felt a thump in his heart, knowing that the incident was too big and had attracted the attention of the FBI.

He stared at the screen. Now that the police on the scene had sealed off the shopping mall, they would only need to check their identities one by one. I didn't believe that Barron could still dig a hole in the ground.

Success is just around the corner, and the entire police department has put in so much effort. How could York be willing to just hand over the investigation of the case to the FBI? Then tomorrow, all the citizens of New York will probably laugh at them to death.

"Just say that I'm not in the command center and can't be contacted at the moment!"

"Director York, this..."

The operator wanted to say something, but York stared back with a "vicious" look.

"What did you say? The branch director is not in the command center?"

After hearing Shiri's call, Jillian immediately hung up, "It's too late to wait for the handover procedures. Jamie, lead the team to the scene immediately. If this delay continues, I'm afraid the police department will push Barron to a dead end!"

Inside the shopping mall fire staircase.

Gu Ji piled all the clothes and irrelevant items he had taken off in the corner, including the camera and other items in his backpack, leaving only the power bank kicked into his pocket, and the [Poison Needle Trap] mine inserted into his lower back and tied with gauze.

Tied to the body.

He poured all the remaining medical alcohol on the pile of items, glanced at the smoke alarm on the second floor above his head, took out his lighter, lit it with a bang, and quickly went downstairs.

The audience finally felt relieved after hearing the footsteps.

[The anchor finally started moving again!]

[I think I heard the sound of the anchor taking off his clothes just now. He should have finished changing his clothes. Find an opportunity and run away quickly! 】

[How to escape? Do you think the police are fools? All exits must be sealed. You will not be allowed to leave until your ID is verified, and the terrorists have already exposed the name of "Barron", unless the anchor is carrying fake ID.

!]

[Art requires cruelty: Tsk, tsk, tsk, I hope you can pass this test. I will prepare many gifts for you later! 】

…

In the live broadcast room, the audience was discussing the possibility of Gu Ji's escape. Some said they would continue to take hostages and leave and negotiate with the police, while others said they would find a lone policeman to knock him out, put on a police uniform and leave secretly.

All in all, the methods are very extreme.

First of all, after deceiving the police with a lighter in the first round, his threat in the "eyes" of the police has weakened a lot. Moreover, if the matter is so big, the New York Police Department will definitely dispatch the anti-terrorism team, and even the FBI has already

Came over.

If he tried to hold him hostage again, he might be killed by a sniper on the way.

The second point is even more ridiculous.

The principles of police tactics clearly stipulate that at least two or more people must be present at the same time during an operation. Situations similar to the airport checkpoint security room will only occur when there is a shortage of manpower. But now, the two major police stations seem to be short of manpower.

What does it look like?

As for the bomber's taunts, he completely ignored them.

Gu Ji walked to the door of the fire escape and secretly glanced at the shopping mall lobby.

At this moment, many people had gathered at the door, clamoring to get out. They either saw a large number of police cordoning off the place, or heard news that a suspect had escaped into the shopping mall, and they were all worried about their personal safety.

But as the barrage said.

The police must verify your identity before letting you go.

Gu Ji ignored the blockade, but turned around and entered the bathroom, picked up a bucket and put it in front of his feet. He looked up at the ventilation duct opening on the ceiling, raised his wrist, and read the time in his mind.

Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds...

Buzz buzz——!

Suddenly, a harsh buzzer sounded throughout the mall, and the people surrounding the door were instantly panicked. Many police officers even pulled out the pistols in their waistbands.

[Holy shit! What happened? Why did it suddenly become chaotic? 】

[Sounds like a fire alarm bell!]

【Anchor set fire?】

【Smart, know how to create panic, you may have a chance to escape!】

…

While the water friends were discussing enthusiastically, Gu Ji stepped on the bucket and pushed open the exhaust hood. When he looked out, there was a wide exhaust duct inside!

That’s right!

This is his real escape method!

The life and death experience accumulated in the previous rounds of levels was not in vain, especially combined with the Russian SOBR quick reaction mechanism and the reaction mark bonus, which made his tactical ideas quite active.

The moment he took a picture of the fire protection structure of the building on his mobile phone, he came up with the idea of ​​​​leaving through the ventilation duct. Because this shopping mall is relatively old, there is no steel mesh on the outside of the exhaust vent like an airport, but a directly exposed exhaust fan.

, which can be easily kicked away.

However, the inside of the pipe was filled with iron sheets. No matter how gentle he was, the repeated squeezing sounds would make the police watching the live broadcast suspicious.

Therefore, in order to facilitate escape, create chaos, and cover up the sound of crawling pipes, he deliberately created fire smoke.

He first recorded a fire alarm ringtone on his mobile phone.

Then he endured the pain of tearing his ribs and got into the pipe.

Gu Ji was as skillful as "revisiting an old place". He marked out the photos he took, followed the pipeline route diagram, and quickly climbed to the position of the air outlet fan.

With the cover of the fire alarm bell and sprinkler system, the audience really didn't know he was in the pipe.

In contrast, the first floor of the mall was a mess.

York anxiously grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Nevia, we must control the scene. We must not let the suspect take the opportunity to run away. If it doesn't work, fire a warning shot!"

"Okay Director York, please don't worry!"

Nevia hurriedly called two police officers, "You two go to the fire control room immediately to see what went wrong..."
