A few police officers squatted down and used their fingers to check the mayor's breath. After confirming that he was dead, they took off their hats.
A poker card slowly floated down from the sky and landed on the mayor's bloody chest. His eyes were lifeless, and he died with a grievance.
Soon, the police locked up all the reporters.
The reporters were all confused.
The reporters who had blown up their microphones were even tortured and interrogated.
But no matter how hard they beat them, the reporters could not say anything.
Moreover, because of their arrest and beating, the companies behind the reporters started to question them.
After the autopsy report was out, a staff member came over and asked the examiner, "How is it? Which microphone did it explode? "
The examiner frowned. "I'm afraid this bomb is very sophisticated. I've searched all the scenes, but I can't find any explosive powder. It's hard to determine which microphone exploded."
"No explosives?" The staff member frowned. "Then how can it be made into a bomb?"
The examiner shook his head. "That's what I can't figure out as well. I've checked all the microphones that were blown up. There's no wireless control device in the microphones, and there's no explosives in the microphones either. I can't figure out which microphone or which media outlet is suspicious."
“f*ck！” The staff member rubbed his brows and looked discouraged. "Do you know that all the media companies are questioning the security around the mayor? We let these reporters in, and they've been searched and checked by us. In other words, if we can't find the culprit, we have to let all the reporters go. That's equivalent to letting the culprit go! If we don't let them go, they'll attack us for not taking proper security measures. We let them in, but we can't find out who the culprit is. We can only let them go and respect their freedom of the press. "
The examiner smiled bitterly. "My team has almost checked the entire scene and all the physical evidence. We've even checked the reporters' bodies. We didn't find any explosives that could be used as a trigger to pinpoint which company's microphone had a problem. There's nothing we can do."
The staff member could only smile bitterly. "Another group of people are going to lose their jobs, damn it!"
The death of the mayor cast an even darker shadow over the city.
Just a moment ago, the citizens had seen him standing in front of the media and speaking eloquently. But in just one day, he was dead!
A dignified mayor was dead!
For the whole day, many panicked 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 of the murderers.
Actually, at this time, even if the citizens wanted to hear some encouraging words, it would be futile.
At this time, at the entrance of the government building, a group of policemen came over and said, "Disperse. Everyone is busy. Everyone wants to catch the murderer. Don't wait here. Disperse."
"We just want to know if the government has made any progress? If this goes on, everyone will panic. It's already been 24 hours since the explosion, but none of you have 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 be patient!" An acting mayor walked out and said, "But you have to believe that we have tried our best to maintain the security of all of New York City. You can see police officers patrolling 24 hours a day to escort you everywhere. We are also doing the work of removing bombs throughout the city. Everyone knows how big New York City is. Give these security teams some time. They are all working overtime. Please understand us. Disperse."
The more than 20 citizens nodded and could only give up protesting one by one. Everyone got into their own cars and prepared to go back.
After seeing them get into the cars, the acting mayor breathed a sigh of relief. He also praised his eloquence. He felt that he could definitely become the mayor.
Just as he turned around, the cars that the citizens were sitting in suddenly exploded with a rumble!
Eight cars exploded directly, and flames soared into the sky. The policemen were shocked and hurriedly ran over to save them. However, the empty cars parked on the side of the road began to explode, and the shockwave of the explosion sent them flying.
The acting mayor witnessed all of this and lay on the ground. His chest rose and fell violently. He had never experienced this before. He watched those people die in front of him. This scene was too shocking.
"Quick, 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. It's safe around here."
The acting mayor felt a little shaken. He looked at the security team and asked, "So far, you still haven't found the bomb?"
The head of the security team rubbed his eyes. "If we haven't found it, it means that there are far fewer bombs than we thought. It's estimated that they will all be cleared tomorrow morning. By then, we can ensure the safety of New York City."
"Safety?" The acting mayor shouted hoarsely and pointed at the ruins of the cars. "Is that what you mean by safety? It's right under my nose. The bomb is right under my nose! What are you doing? No, we can't go on like this. We can't find the murderer, but the bombs are coming wave after wave. They are too savage. They even bombed the government. This is deliberate. They are deliberately provoking us! "
The mayor's secretary came over and said, "It's on the headlines again. The panic is escalating again. The White House wants us to find the murderer as soon as possible. Also, to prevent any more bombings, New York City can't afford it anymore. At present, most of the citizens have requested to leave New York City, but because it's inconvenient for us to investigate, none of the citizens have left. However, the consequence is that if we can't find the murderer, those citizens will lose confidence in us."
Sure enough, there was a wave of criticism and condemnation on the Internet about a citizen who died in front of the city government in front of a group of police officers.
"God, they were right under your nose. How stupid are you? Didn't you find out that the bomb was in the car? The United States spends so much tax money every year to support a bunch of useless people? "
"I really can't believe that this is the government I can rely on. They trust the government so much, but the police can't protect them from being bombed."
"To be honest, I still can't accept this fact. Didn't the police do a test near the city government building? Why didn't you find out that there was a bomb in a citizen's car? Those security teams say that they are checking for bombs every day, but the bomb killed your citizen right under your nose. What are you doing? "
