Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Signal Is Cut Off (Four Thousand Chapters)
Or more often than not, with the distrust that Edward's proposed plan brought to people, so Watson now has no way to trust anyone else.
"If it's the deputy mayor." Watson groaned, as if pondering the possibility.
"The deputy mayor's performance today is normal, and he doesn't seem to see anything."
"But often the more normal it is, the more abnormal it is."
Thinking about everything that happened at the meeting, the suspicion of the deputy mayor deepened.
After all, judging from Edward's voluntary disclosure, the entire plan about them was known only to Edward and Ellis.
If anyone is most likely to put Edward in the meeting, it must be Ellis.
Of course, these are just a few guesses by Watson.
But when the seeds of doubt are planted, all the thoughts in my heart will involuntarily drift towards what I guessed.
Although deep down, Watson didn't think that Chu Yun would disguise himself as Ellis. After all, it's too difficult to disguise yourself as a deputy mayor, and you have to participate in all kinds of activities and meet all kinds of people in normal times.
And this does not mean that if you want to disguise, you can disguise success.
In the process of contact with many people, it is easy to show your feet.
At this point, Watson spoke, "Where is Mayor Ellis now?" ”
Andorra replied: "Hmm...... Should still be in his office. ”
"Mayor Ellis hasn't left the City Hall since the bombing."
"Okay, let our people set up control around the municipal government, and report anything unusual at any time."
"Understood." Andorra nodded.
The matter is still fermenting, and the public's doubts about the bombing case are very loud.
Many taxpayers urged that Gotham authorities hold a press conference to elaborate on the bombing.
Including reporters and media, there are also many conspiracy theories about the bombing.
At the insistence of taxpayers and the media, Gotham City authorities had no choice but to hold a press conference during the daylight on the second day after the accident.
September 19 at 9 a.m.
There were a lot of journalists and taxpayers in attendance.
This time, the press conference was not held indoors, but in front of the Municipal Affairs Bureau.
"Hello, Mayor Ellis! Can you tell us more about Chu Yun's situation? ”
"Can you reveal whether Chu Yun has any motive for blasting the Municipal Affairs Bureau this time?"
"Is there sufficient evidence to prove that Chu Yun did it in this bombing?"
The scene was very chaotic, and there were even a lot of people mixed in to make a fuss.
Faced with such a situation, Ellis raised his voice and said loudly: "What happened yesterday was a negligence in the work of the security guards, which gave the suspect a chance. ”
His voice silenced the chaos of the scene a lot, and then continued.
"As for this criminal, according to what we know, everyone actually already knows it in their hearts."
"At present, Chu Yun has been sent to the second prison to be detained, waiting for the court's verdict."
"The criminals used a blasting device to create an explosion in the municipal underground parking lot, although no one was injured and no one was killed in the explosion. However, the criminal's actions have seriously endangered public safety and have not taken the lives of others into consideration. ”
"And according to the investigation of our intelligence department, this criminal named Chu Yun is very likely to be an intelligence agent from another country who is engaged in illegal information gathering activities in Gotham City."
"So at the first time of the accident, we also cooperated with the Gotham City Security Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the police department to arrest him!"
"Please rest assured, friends from the media and citizens."
After hearing this, the media reporters fell silent.
If what Ellis said is true, and this Chu Yun is an agent from another country who came to Gotham City on a sabotage mission, then it seems that the whole case is quite reasonable.
"We've also collected surveillance footage of the explosion in the underground parking lot, and the fact that he was disguised as Mr. Edward, the former director of the Gotham City Security Bureau."
"Pretending to be someone else's identity is a serious violation of the law! In particular, he disguised himself as Mr. Edward, who had a special identity. ”
"In addition, although the surveillance video does not directly show the scene when Chu Yun planted the bomb."
"But this period of Chu Yun's wandering in front of the Municipal Affairs Bureau building is enough to see that he has a major suspicion."
While Ellis was talking, several of the administrators had pulled the projector outside and started playing the video of Edward standing in front of the door.
In the surveillance video, people only saw Edward standing in front of the gate with nothing to do, just from this point in time and the time of the explosion, it is actually quite suspicious.
Then the screen turned, and the surveillance video began to show the video of the explosion in the underground parking lot.
At the moment of the explosion in the underground parking lot, the scene of the car flying over and bombing made everyone's hearts 10 points shocked.
This Chu Yun turned out to be so crazy.
But everyone also felt that something was wrong.
Why was the bomb planted in an underground parking lot?
Could it be that Chu Yun just wanted to blow up the car?
Does he still have such a special fetish?
Ellis continues:
"You can clearly see that this guy planted the bomb around the load-bearing column."
"It's obvious that he wants to blow up the load-bearing capacity and turn the Municipal Affairs Bureau into a dangerous building!"
"Fortunately, the power of the bomb was not very large, so the murderer's purpose did not succeed."
"At present, security around the Municipal Affairs Bureau has been strengthened to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen again."
"At present, the case is still under investigation, and I believe that we will try our best to deal with the explosion case and the case of disguise and impersonation, and give an explanation to the public."
……
With the start of this press conference, the waves set off in the public are also very huge.
The citizens of Gotham City have changed their perception of the city authorities a lot, especially in the webcast and on television, watching the appearance of the deputy mayor's righteous words, people can't help but feel a little more sympathetic to the authorities being blasted.
And public opinion on the Internet has also formed a certain reversal.
From everyone's doubts about the municipality to the start of the press conference, it began to turn into a condemnation of Chu Yun.
"This Chu Yun turned out to be an agent from another country?!"
"No wonder it did!"
"There are always some squigglers who want to destroy our stability!"
"After all, this Chu Yun shouldn't be in our Gotham!"
"What I want to know is, since this Chu Yun is disguised as the director of the security bureau of Gotham City, where is the real director??"
Of course, there are many people who feel a little messy.
"Could it be that a dignified director of the Security Bureau would be imprisoned by Chu Yun? How powerful is this Chu Yun? ”
"That Gotham City chief must be an agent too, right? It's all agents too, our agents in Gotham City, that's it? ”
"Wait...... In that case, what about the series of heroic acts that Chu Yun had done before? ”
If he was here to wreak havoc in Gotham City, then why did he save dozens of hostages in the World Trade Center bombings?
Moreover, although the Municipal Affairs Bureau held a press conference this time, it was more of a more reasonable conjecture about this case, and there was no actual evidence to fix.
Including those two surveillance video clips, those who know can see at once that there is no particularly critical information that can be used as evidence.
It's just that when these videos are connected, it is true that Edward played by Chu Yun looks more suspicious.
The different reactions of these citizens also make the whole case full of suspicions.
But in terms of the overall trend, more people are still choosing to trust the Gotham City authorities.
After all, the fact that the deputy mayor can stand here and publicly announce a press conference to everyone must have a lot of relevant clues in everyone's eyes.
And in such a situation, suddenly people saw the live broadcast and suddenly stopped.
The screen on which the video was playing suddenly went black, and all the content was gone.
But not long after, when people at the scene thought that there was a problem with the equipment, new images appeared on the screen and during the live broadcast on the Internet.
It is worth mentioning that this new image is static.
It became a picture, and on top of it, there were lines of black and red font.
This image looks more like an announcement.
Originally, everyone thought it was a final summary announcement made by the Gotham City authorities in response to the case.
However, when everyone saw the text on the picture, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.
[I'm Chu Yun. 】
[I do not accept the unfounded accusations of the Gotham City authorities. 】
[All this is a play directed and acted by the Municipal Affairs Bureau. 】
All the taxpayers who saw the live broadcast were full of question marks in their hearts, and at the same time, the media reporters present were full of shock in their eyes, picked up their camera equipment, and aimed at the screen for a wild shot.
At this time, not to mention the citizens and media reporters, when Ellis stood on the stage, his face also changed dramatically.
didn't even care about the press conference, he hurriedly walked to the side and scolded his secretary: "Hurry up!" ”
"What the hell is going on?!"
His face was ugly, and this public relations response to the bombing was originally forced by the media and taxpayers to do so.
After all, this case is still under in-depth investigation, and Ellis himself knows a lot of details, including the inside story of this process.
Until now, he had not recovered from yesterday's explosion.
And now, when I see such an emergency, even the video has been hacked. The word "terrible" immediately came to his mind.
He felt that things were going in a direction that he had not predicted.
"Hurry up and cut off the live signal."
"And the big screen!"
Ellis immediately gave such an instruction, but when he gave the instruction, he saw that the secretary's expression was also very ugly.
"What's going on?"
The secretary replied, "Mayor, the administrative staff said that they had cut off the live signal, but the signal source was hacked. ”
"This is an image uploaded by hackers."
When Ellis heard this, he couldn't contain his anger.
"Hacked? Then fix it quickly! ”
However, Ellis's anger at this time could not solve anything at all, and when the picture was placed on the big screen and on the Internet, everyone who was watching had already seen the message, and many people saved the screenshot and circulated it on the Internet.
"What do you mean?"
"Wasn't Chu Yun arrested?"
"What's this picture?"
"What does it mean that IAM directs and acts itself?!"
The audience was a little stunned, what happened?
As for the reporters, they are happy in their hearts.
This is definitely exciting news.
At the live broadcast of the press conference of the Municipal Affairs Bureau, such a mess occurred.
Obviously, everyone saw Ellis's attitude from the scene, and he was also a little stunned.
This means that the deputy mayor of Ellis had never expected such a situation before.
In just a few minutes, the situation on the field was reversed again due to the appearance of this picture.
The original support for the municipality has weakened a lot for a while.
In everyone's mind, there are more doubts.
I'm even starting to wonder who to believe.
At this time, the scene was also in a commotion.
After hearing Ellis's words, the secretary had no choice but to explain the current situation.
"It's currently being repaired urgently, but it will take at least ten minutes."
"Ten minutes?!"
"Ten minutes later, this scandal will already spread throughout the beautiful country!"
This time the secretary did not answer again, in fact, in the face of such an emergency, because the press conference itself was prepared temporarily, so too many contingency plans were not considered.
Ellis is also a person who has seen the world after all, and after learning that it may be difficult to solve this problem in the first place, he took a deep breath and said loudly to everyone on the scene:
"As you can see, this picture at the scene was left over from the process of arresting Chu Yun."
"Although Chu Yun has been using various means to escape our arrest, he has not been able to escape justice after all!"
"The French Open is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. I also hope that everyone will not think that they can escape the judgment of the law by using some tricks! ”
As Ellis continued, the reporters present suddenly became a little dissatisfied.
What does this mean exactly?
Listen to what Ellis means by that. The pictures on the big screen now were released by the Municipal Affairs Bureau on its own initiative?
But Ellis's expression just now didn't look like it.
