577: Rolling

In the face of absolute cunning, all his efforts seemed so pale and powerless!

At this moment, Inspector Ouris said tremblingly, "It's Councilor Jonathan, Howell Jonathan."

"Very well," Su Yue said, "You are very lucky, you don't have to suffer anymore."

Hearing this, Inspector Ouris was stunned and felt a little relieved in his heart. But immediately after, he became nervous again, and his heart rate accelerated once more!

He didn't care about holding his bleeding thigh, raised his hands high, and shouted at Zhang Qi, "No!"

He saw the dark muzzle of a gun! The crisis of death had never been so close!

"Damn it! You said..."

And Su Yue coldly interrupted him, "If I escape and your leg is shot again, guess what kind of end you will have?"

"And I will not leave a resentful enemy behind. So..."

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Inspector Ouris's face was blank. According to Zhang Qi, he also thought of his own end: dismissal, torture, and ultimately death on the streets.

For the councilor, he had completely lost his usefulness. How could the councilor spare his life, knowing many secrets, under such circumstances?

However, he still didn't want to die. Just as he was about to speak...

Bang! Bang bang bang!

Several gunshots rang out consecutively!

After that... the corridor on the thirteenth floor fell into silence.

...

At this moment, the Chief of the New York Police Department had also taken over the on-site work. And Su Yue had not yet left the United States Police Department building.

Elrick Chief Qiao Qi, as the Chief of the New York Police Department, had his career promoted step by step from the grassroots. At fifty-six years old, he had witnessed New York's most turbulent period, but the scene today was the first he had encountered since becoming a New York police officer.

He had never heard of a bombing occurring at any United States Police Department, let alone the internationally renowned New York Police Department. This was a major mistake, and he could already foresee what tomorrow's headlines would be, which gave him a terrible headache. He was eager to catch the culprit as soon as possible and quickly cover up the truth. Such a bombing could be reported as an accident, and he had done so many times before. But the key was to arrest the culprit named Zhang Qi.

The United States equipped the New York Police Department with advanced equipment. It was not surprising that the New York Police Department possessed such strength to ensure the stability and prosperity of the New York metropolitan area. However, what was surprising was that someone could cause such chaos under these circumstances!

He had already seen Zhang Qi's profile, which was, of course, a version modified by Inspector Ouris. In his eyes, Zhang Qi was a brutal and cunning criminal.

At this moment, he walked into the building, his ears filled with the noise inside and the piercing fire alarm, which made him feel irritated and uneasy.

"Silence!" he roared loudly, only then controlling the chaotic situation on the first floor.

"Someone quickly turn off the alarm!" he questioned, "How long has it been? Where is the culprit?" His questioning caused Police officers to fall silent one after another, and the fire alarm also stopped.

"Where is the person in charge? Where is Inspector Ouris?" He looked at the bulky figures of these police officers and felt that his subordinates were a bunch of incompetent people. But he also knew that pursuing accountability at this time was meaningless, so he quickly inquired about Inspector Ouris's situation.

Someone replied, "Inspector Ouris went to pursue the culprit."

Chief Qiao Qi nodded, but then raised his eyebrows, "He went alone?"

Everyone fell silent, nodding silently. Chief Qiao Qi simply didn't know what to say. Since the 9/11 incident, his subordinates always thought about retreating first when encountering something.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and immediately commanded, "The explosion happened on the thirteenth floor. Where are the SWAT team members? Gather! Two teams go search the thirteenth floor first, others guard all the entrances and exits, and another ten people guard the outside of the building to prevent him from escaping from there!"

Under Chief Qiao Qi's command, the previously messy first-floor lobby quickly became orderly. The SWAT teams quickly got ready, and other police officers immediately split up, some surrounding, some patrolling. And Chief Qiao Qi himself immediately headed straight to the monitoring room by elevator under the protection of five police officers. This was the fastest way for them to catch the culprit as soon as possible.

Due to the previous explosion and fire alarm, Police officers were no longer inside the building, including the monitoring room. When Chief Qiao Qi walked into the monitoring room, the four SWAT teams had also arrived on the thirteenth floor.

"We have reached the thirteenth floor, sir."

"The lights on the thirteenth floor are all off, and we are ready to breach at any time."

Chief Qiao Qi replied, "Engage the culprit and shoot to kill immediately. Good luck, begin the operation!"

Accompanied by the sound of SWAT officers with riot shields roughly kicking open the fire escape door, a gunshot suddenly rang out!

Bang bang bang!

These three gunshots immediately made the SWAT team nervous. Since they had received the order to shoot to kill, they would naturally act in the safest way. A flare was thrown over, and under the illumination of the red light, they saw a figure leaning against the wall, waving a pistol, and the loud Chinese language bursting from his mouth. Although they couldn't understand it, looking at this scene and the clothes on the person, they immediately recognized that this was their target.

However, just as they were about to shoot the target, they heard the slightly trembling voice of the SWAT Team Leader, "Sir... this is not our target..."

When Chief Qiao Qi heard this, his heart turned cold. He almost subconsciously thought of who this could be. Immediately after, he heard the following words: "It's Inspector Ouris! The one we just shot and killed is Inspector Ouris! His mouth was sealed with tape, his hands were also bound with tape, and the pistol was tied to his hand!"

Hearing this, the expression on Chief Qiao Qi's face turned pale. At this time, it could only be Inspector Ouris... But why was he speaking Chinese? And why did he fire a gun? What was going on with the gunshot? His mind went blank. Inspector Ouris was a very promising man, and he had actually ordered him killed?

"No... no no!" he shouted in his heart, "That culprit did it on purpose!"

At this moment, he didn't have time to think too much, he just immediately spoke again, "Keep searching! Find that guy! He definitely hasn't left the building yet, I will assist your operation from the monitoring room!"

However, there was no response from the SWAT team. He thought there was a problem with his signal, so he repeated it again, but still, there was no response. Just as he was getting a little angry, he heard the trembling voice of the SWAT Team Leader: "That gunshot, that Chinese... it came from a tape recorder! We killed our own people!"

This trembling and disbelief also simultaneously shocked Chief Qiao Qi's mind. The discomfort he had just suppressed surged back into his heart.

"Damn it... damn it!" he muttered to himself, "Who the hell is that guy?"

Chief Qiao Qi's face was tense and appeared abnormally stiff. He couldn't understand why the entire New York Police Department (NYPD) would fall into such a chaotic situation within just a few hours. Since the Twin Towers incident, cases of this level had never occurred again. But now, what exactly was going on? Who was this man disguised as a chinese person?

Countless questions swirled in his mind, like a tangled mess, inseparable. He tried to find a breakthrough from one angle, but was always troubled by another mystery. These mysteries were intricately interwoven, and unless a thread could be found, they simply couldn't be unraveled. But even this thread seemed impossible to grasp.

He slammed his fist on the table, using the sharp pain in his knuckles to wake up his numb brain. His dazed gaze refocused on the monitor, and a plan had formed in his mind.

"Catch him!" he shouted loudly, "Find his hiding place! Search floor by floor! This guy must be brought to justice tonight, dead or alive!"

The SWAT team members in the thirteenth floor stairwell, who were in confusion, snapped back to reality amidst these roars of anger. Although Inspector Ouris was dead, this was the work of that chinese man! They must avenge him!

However, just as they were preparing to act, there was a loud bang! An explosion occurred on the ninth floor! The morale that had just been boosted was instantly halved. Chief Qiao Qi witnessed all of this on the monitor, his heart filled with horror.

"Damn it... he can't possibly have a large number of bombs!" he muttered to himself, "Even if there are explosions, their power must be limited! Find him! Find him!"

His roar made the SWAT team members perk up again. But just then, with a loud bang, another explosion came! This time, it even made them feel like the building was shaking!

The SWAT Team Leader's confidence was completely shattered. Searching rashly now was undoubtedly a futile act of seeking death. If they were killed by a bomb prepared by that lunatic, the loss would be more than just the building!

Chief Qiao Qi was on the verge of collapse. He stared wide-eyed at the monitor screen, his heart full of fear. He couldn't understand how that man did it; there was no trace of him appearing on the monitors at all! Could he be using some kind of magic? And where on earth did he get the bombs?

He never thought that Su Yue was using microwave ovens. And microwave ovens... can be timed. He couldn't think of this point, nor was he willing to believe that superpowers existed in the world. He still stared at the monitor, trying to find the figure of that bomb maniac.

"There's no one in any of the monitors, you can't just make things explode out of thin air, right!" he thought to himself, "I'll just stare here, once you appear, you're dead!"

However, there was another explosion! These three almost continuous explosions completely shattered Chief Qiao Qi's psychological defense! He didn't want to die either, let alone die in such a meaningless explosion!

"Sir..." A trembling voice came from the communication channel. Chief Qiao Qi seemed to have found a way out and quickly said, "Withdraw! Call the special response team to organize bomb disposal!"

He could only give up the monitoring room with his men. What if the monitoring room exploded too... He didn't want to die here! He ran frantically down the fire escape to the first floor, and through the window, he saw many reporters outside the United States Police Department building trying to break through the cordon.

"Damn it!" This night was simply a nightmare for him! But before he could vent the anger in his heart, there was another loud bang! How could he still have time to worry about reporters? At this moment, he just wanted to escape this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

He vaguely knew in his heart that this time, the NYPD would completely lose its authority. Even United States Police Departments that were not so famous had never experienced such a major lapse! Yet it happened at the New York Police Department! This was the face of the United States police!

His heart was like dead ashes, but fortunately, he didn't encounter any nearby explosions afterward. Standing outside the building and looking up, the six rooms that had been bombed were still spitting out flames at this moment. Listening to the excited screams of the reporters and the constant flashing of camera lights on his back, he knew that everything was over.

What was even more fatal was that they hadn't caught the culprit yet! And even a very promising Inspector had died! Chief Qiao Qi's face was pale. Such a major lapse had never happened to any previous Chief, yet it happened to him. Without any warning, and without anyone even knowing what happened, the person who seemed to be the only one who knew the truth was now dead.

And what about that culprit? Can he be caught? How should he face this situation now?

In the early morning of December 6th, multiple rooms in the New York Police Department Number One United States Police Department building were detonated by an unknown bomber... The New York Police Department will become an international joke! Who could have imagined such a situation?

However, at this moment, Su Yue was standing behind him, his entire head covered by a riot helmet. In this situation, no one noticed that there was one extra person among the twenty-eight SWAT team members who rushed out of the fire escape... Su Yue also tilted his head back, looking at the 'fireworks' he had set off, a smile playing on the corner of his mouth.

"Why provoke me for no reason?" he thought to himself, "New York... what a great city. It seems it has to pay a price now."

Thinking like this, Su Yue turned his head and looked towards the southwest, where a huge stone statue stood.

Under the cover of night, car lights weaved, illuminating the previously silent night. At this moment, in front of the New York Police Department Number One United States Police Department building, various vehicles were densely parked, attracting attention from all walks of society.

Many onlookers also flocked there, wanting to witness the New York Police Department's embarrassing moment firsthand. They surrounded the wall, capturing every detail of the building with their phone cameras, like a group of frenzied fans chasing their idols. Some even shouted loudly, making the entire scene exceptionally noisy.

Fire trucks, reporter cars, private cars, and United States Police Department vehicles crowded the courtyard in front of the United States Police Department building. Due to the excessive number of vehicles, the fire truck had to go through some trouble to enter the courtyard and begin the urgent firefighting work. At the same time, the bomb disposal team had also quickly entered the building, preparing to carry out bomb disposal operations.

The reporters were still confused, asking questions to Police officers in the courtyard one after another. They wanted to know how these continuous explosions happened, who caused this chaos, and if anyone would be responsible for this terrorist attack. Chief Qiao Qi's face became even gloomier amidst these questions.

However, Su Yue was not disturbed by the noise. His gaze swept through the crowd and quickly locked onto Liu Ni Yun's figure. Even in such a dense crowd, she still stood out. She was wrapped in a blanket, and as someone being questioned, the treatment she received was naturally different from that of a criminal. At this moment, she should be safe.
