At night, the 12-story CNN headquarters building is still brightly lit.

Inside the building is the mouthpiece of the United States, the face of freedom, the voice of democracy. The presenter broadcasts news to the world in multiple languages without interruption. Billions of people have been brainwashed by the free world with the help of CNN.

Compared to the bustle inside the building, the outside of the building is deserted.

Sirens occasionally sound in the parking lot, and streetlights illuminate the areas that are separated from each other. Black security guards with batons around their waists patrolled back and forth around the building.

CNN didn't report on the threat to its headquarters. Other U.S. media outlets lacked global reach, and only a handful of spectators could see dozens of fecal suction trucks lining up outside the building.

The reporters who came to join in the fun waited for hours. They saw nothing but the security guards who were on the verge of facing the enemy. The audience will not be interested in the unchanged footage, and the cameras on the scene are mostly turned off.

When the scene became quieter, the car of several television stations was withdrawn. Some out-of-town media who have traveled thousands of miles have applied to spend the night at CNN's headquarters. After all, there are hotels and restaurants in the building, which are open 24 hours a day.

It's not that no one is sticking to their posts.

FBI agents stay outside the building, keeping an eye on whatever comes their sight and not slacking off — the media either fuss or deliberately ignore, but the FBI cannot.

The U.S. law enforcement system is a marvel on a global scale. It has an extremely complex number of law enforcement agencies, federal, state, county and city. There are also different systems, such as taxation, energy, tobacco and gun control.

Different law enforcement agencies have different powers and responsibilities and do not interfere with each other. The only person who has the power to transgress the line is the 'FBI,' and it depends on it for big and important cases. Local law enforcement agencies can only catch petty thieves.

Wait a minute......

Brackets – The IRS's IRS is an exception.

Like the New York Times fecal spraying case, the New York Police Department has been unable to cover it. Especially when the CNN headquarters in Atlanta was also threatened, it was the FBI that could only take action.

Two F.B.I. agents were sitting in their cars outside the headquarters building. They were just over 30 meters away from a fecal suction truck. CNN paid overtime, and sanitation workers worked at night.

The motor that sucks the feces roars, and the foul smell spreads everywhere.

"Should we change places?" The agent in the car was chatting with his partner, "I felt that the air conditioner in the car was emitting a stench. ”

The outside temperature was around four or five degrees, and the air conditioning was turned on in the car. The 'fresh' air coming in from outside the car becomes even more smelly when heated.

The two agents were holding hamburgers and Cokes in their hands, one of them was a little overwhelmed, and the other said indifferently, "Have you ever handled a case of floating corpses?" ”

"Nope."

"What about leading the police dog to find the burial site of the homicide?"

"Not either."

"What about the corpse shredding?"

"This kind of case is actually rare."

"That's right, the media always likes to report on vicious cases to get ratings. But not every agent has experienced those extremely bad scenes.

But I'm an exception, I've been through it all. There's nothing in the world that stops me from eating McDonald's beef giants. No matter how disgusting the environment is, I can eat it.

We were in a location with a good view of the surrounding roads and people. So we're not going to move places. Rookie, rest assured. You'll get used to it. ”

The veteran agent ate a fragrant meal, and he didn't care at all about the fecal suction truck that was working thirty meters away, let alone the trouble in the air. The rookie agent shook his head and only drank a few drinks.

"It's almost ten o'clock in the evening, and there is still an interview car that has not left." The rookie agent held the binoculars and scanned the surroundings, "They're also squatting like us. ”

The old agent turned his head and glanced at it a few times, "It should be a small local TV station in Atlanta." They wish something was going to happen at CNN headquarters. Although the likelihood is low, there are always people who don't give up.

Those who can stay are definitely rookies. No experience, no connections, no skills, no background, so I have to be a little patient. Once you grab the scoop, the footage you take can sell for a big price.

It's a pity that these small TV stations are not destined to do so. There were a dozen of us around CNN headquarters, and no one could commit a crime in front of the FBI. As long as the other party shows his head, he will definitely be able to catch him. ”

The old detective smiled cruelly as he spoke, "This bastard dares to openly provoke us, and is destined to spend the rest of his ass in prison." I can't wait to greet his in person. ”

"What if the offender succeeds again?"

"Impossible."

"I mean if."

"That's a big problem." The old detective restrained his smile and muttered for a long time, "I wonder if this case has some kind of political overtones." After all, it was too big a blow to embarrass the New York Times so much.

Who will read such a newspaper in the future? If you open the New York Times, you will be disgusting, which is equivalent to complete death in public opinion. CNN is more important than the New York Times, if its headquarters is also blown up in the toilet......"

The old agent thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of the consequences of CNN's disrepute. This is not just a matter of a news media, but also a matter of national face.

It's not easy to build a global news outlet. If the audience sees the CNN logo and is associated with an indescribable paste, the effect of American propaganda brainwashing will be greatly weakened in the future.

The hostile countries will laugh at it and will hang it up and spread it to the public. Even allies will steal their joy behind their backs, though they will certainly condemn and mourn it.

As for whether the people of America should be angry or angry? They will be overwhelmed with grief, their self-confidence shattered, and they will wonder if the government is too incompetent.

Even if the CNN headquarters is blown up, it is better than being bombed and sprayed!

After all, for a big country, face is more important than life. Isn't CNN smearing its opponents every day just to make them so ashamed that they want to commit suicide?

But......

"The building has been thoroughly screened, and the sewer pipes have been inspected. Now I am not worried that the criminal will succeed, but that he will not come and run to attack other places. As long as he appears, he will definitely be caught by us. ”

The old agent refuses to make meaningless conjectures, and he brings a rookie to watch the night, more concerned about whether he can catch the criminal. The rookie didn't say much, grabbing a telescope to scan back and forth at the area he was responsible for.

Squatting is extremely boring, and persistence may not be rewarding.

But at ten o'clock in the night......

The rookie noticed that something was wrong, and in his binoculars, several people ran out of the interview car of the local TV station fifty meters away. They quickly set up the machine and aimed it at the CNN headquarters building.

"Hey, what the hell are these guys doing? How did they suddenly become so excited? The rookie detective scanned the surroundings, but found nothing. The outside of the building is still quiet, and the brightly lit building is also orderly.

The veteran agent was more experienced, and he immediately pushed the door open, "We need to go and see." What are those journalists likely to know? What can make them so restless is that something must have happened. ”
