If there is any profession in society that can be called the "uncrowned king" in modern times, it must be journalists.

The advent of the media has enriched people's lives all at once! Social, political, economic trends, and trend information all have to be disseminated by these reporters.

In the 16th century, the profession of journalist was first introduced in Venice, and since then the profession has grown rapidly and has flourished everywhere. By the end of the nineteenth century, as the center of the world economy, how could the fog of the empire on which the sun never set be without the presence of journalists?

In fact, there are many kinds of newspapers in Wudu, and they sell well. For example, the "Wudu News Pictorial" has a print run of 80,000 copies, and various small daily newspapers have millions of sales.

For the public, the function of journalists is to help them learn more, and even to a certain extent, journalists can play a role in regulating Z F. But for Z F, journalists are sometimes mouthpieces, and sometimes they are headaches, like now-

St. Mary's Cathedral Branch of the Wudu East Police Station has been surrounded by reporters - shortly after the police force received the news of the murder and returned to the police station with the body, the group of people with a keen sense of smell had already come to the door.

"Excuse me, in the early hours of this morning, on Hamberning Street in the Cathedral area of St. Mary's, was there another murder?"

"Is the murderer the same person who committed consecutive murders before?"

"This is the third murder in a month, right?"

"Excuse me, has the police department not caught the murderer so far? Are there any key clues? ”

"I've heard you've arrested several 'suspects,' but there's no evidence that any of them aren't good citizens, right?"

A series of questions made the police officers guarding the gate stunned on the spot! It's not that I haven't been in contact with reporters before, and the police station is also a place where reporters like to interview, but it is the first time that such a "crowded" reporter has besieged it.

Zhou Daoan, who was still in the police station, couldn't help frowning - obviously, such a large number of reporters gathered because they must have learned some information in advance, and they came to block the gate of the police station less than three hours after the incident. You know, the third serial homicide case that occurred this morning, the police department has not released information to the public! It is possible to say that one or two reporters have a keen sense of smell, but it is impossible for such a large number of reporters to feel the "news hotspot" at the same time. Moreover, even if journalists receive news, they do not connect with each other – they compete for the right to publish the news.

It's a bit weird, but Zhou Daoan can't explore it. He couldn't even leave the police station, because the wave after wave of reporters attracted a large number of citizens and blocked the St. Mary's Cathedral substation. Now, everyone inside and outside the door is whispering — those outside the door are questioning the police, and those inside the door are frustrated and don't know what to do.

Detective Harold, who was supposed to come out to deal with it, locked himself in the office after returning from the scene of the crime, and remained silent. The subordinates had resisted the risk of being scolded, and knocked on the door several times, only to be dismissed by Harold with a sentence of "don't bother me, give me some time".

Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly a series of shrill whistles sounded outside the circle of reporters outside the police station.

It's a police whistle, but who blows it?

The whistle silenced the noisy reporters and citizens for a while, and they didn't know what was happening, and the reporters who had been surrounding the entrance of the police station weakened their "offensive" slightly, but gathered behind them.

"Like...... What are people talking about......" Separated by a distance, coupled with the barrier of the wall of the police station, Zhou Daoan can't hear clearly even if his ears are very smart. However, several policemen had already sneaked up to the door and looked out out out of curiosity. Zhou Daoan also followed them and walked to the gate together.

Stepping on the steps and looking back, the crowd of people on the three floors inside and outside now formed a circle, and in the center of the circle, there was a blank area.

And standing in this "center C" is surrounded by a man in a top hat, a tuxedo, and a single lens, he should be less than thirty years old, and the beard on his face is very clean, showing a very handsome face completely and cleanly. The slightly thin figure has a sense of "standing out" in the crowd. If it were an ordinary person, standing beside him, he would unconsciously weaken his aura.

At this moment, he was holding a silver-tipped solid wood cane in his hand, and said aloud to everyone:

"Dear citizens and dear journalists, the police department has always mobilized all its efforts to catch criminals. But because this time, we are facing an extremely cunning and murderous thug. He is an existence who does not have to follow the rules of the law and can act as he pleases...... We, as representatives of the law, must follow all rules and regulations. Therefore, in this game of 'good versus evil', we will inevitably fall behind in the early stages. ”

"But, friends! Don't panic and don't lose faith! The empire on which the sun never sets has existed for six centuries, and its capital, the eastern part of the capital, has experienced countless storms and storms, haven't we all survived it safely? So, this time is no exception. I just implore you to give us righteous angels a little time, and I believe that good will triumph over evil......"

This speech is loud and full of "positive energy", and it is really easy to have a sense of identity when it is spoken by this handsome young man in a magnetic, standard fog accent. As soon as he finished speaking, there were already a lot of approvals.

But those voices of approval came from the citizens — including some police officers who were so moved that they couldn't help but applaud — and the reporters were obviously not easily perfunctory by the wording.

"Who are you? What we need is a police statement - as citizens of Wudu, it is impossible for us to live in fear of murder all the time, right? We can give the police some time, but should the police also give us some information? At least let us know how it's going, so we can have peace of mind! ”

This is a sharp-tongued reporter, and as soon as the words come out, the tide that had been slightly calmed down is agitated again.

The handsome young man was not flustered at all, he raised his top hat slightly, greeted the reporter who asked the question, and then replied:

"Dear journalist friends – I fully understand your needs and don't think there's anything wrong with that! However, I think this idea came from the perspective of the citizens...... Now—and as I said, since it's a game of good versus evil—I think it's better to think about it from the perspective of both sides......"

"If it is a murderer, through his past crimes, we can all feel: his purpose is by no means as simple as seeking money and killing people. And once we, the citizens, are affected by the panic he created and are shocked by his ferocity, then have we lost psychologically to this vicious gangster? Did he succeed? ”

"Secondly, think about it from the side of justice – from the police's point of view, they are facing a gladiatorial battle in the shadows. If they want to turn the tables and win the 'game', they have to be like the murderer, they also hibernat, hide their strategies and plans, quietly carry out, wait for opportunities, and only show their minions when necessary. ”

"On the other hand, if all the plans of the police are made public, will the murderers hidden among the masses also know the police's strategies? Will you also know the progress of the police? If he feels the pressure, then he can 'pause' for a while and wait for the storm to pass...... Oh my God, if this goes on, we'll never be able to catch him! ”

"So, I believe that our 'Guardians' have done a lot of work in secret during this time! It's just that these jobs can't be made public because of the opponents! So, again, have faith in them and give them a little more time! After all, the more murderers commit crimes, the more traces they will inevitably leave behind! As long as we can hold on to this game and stand firmly on the side of justice, the light will come sooner or later! ”

These words can be described as reasonable and well-founded, not only the inspiration of "Wei Guangzheng", but also found a foothold in "strategy"! At this moment, even the most tricky reporters are a little deflated.

This man's words are really quite good - of course, there are a bit too many scenes...... If you are a "zealous citizen", this person's wording is too official.

Sure enough, another tricky reporter has already questioned the person's identity.

"Sir, we all admit that you have some truth in what you say. But who are you? Who is qualified to 'debate' on behalf of the police department? Or rather, how do you know the plans and arrangements of the police? Maybe it's just wishful thinking! As the head of the police department – Inspector Harold – we need his explanation, not the ...... of some citizen."

"Good question......," the handsome young man smiled slightly, and after a moment, he simply took off his hat and pulled out a piece of paper from his top hat......

"This is my letter of appointment – with immediate effect, Fred Ebolin, commissioner of the Wudu Police Department (Scotland Yard), will be temporarily appointed as the first head of the St. Mary's Cathedral Police Station in the eastern district of Wudu, in charge of the recent serial killings in the eastern district of Wudu. The appointment was made by the Commissioner of Police, Sir George Howl, and is signed by the Queen underneath. ”

He held the piece of paper and displayed it one by one in front of the onlookers, still maintaining the smile on his face that made people feel infinitely close.

"So, I think I'm qualified to answer your questions...... Now, friends, in order for us to catch the murderer as soon as possible, can we give up the gate of the police station so that we can work normally? Also, I'm going to work in this building. ”
