Chapter 744: There Are More Than Two Murderers
Everyone was startled, and they all rushed out of the office and came to the operation center, only to see a real-time picture of a subway platform on the big screen, and a guy in a hoodie was looking down in the direction of the surveillance, occasionally looking up quickly.
"Where?" Jubal was asking the technician loudly while an NYPD liaison had picked up the phone and started contacting the NYPD's dispatch center directly.
"At the subway station between 59th Avenue and Lexington Ave., a suspicious person was spotted, and we needed officers to go to the scene."
"Oh God, he's got a gun!" Garcia screamed, and everyone in the operations center stopped what they were doing for a moment and looked up at the big screen.
I saw the hoodie look left and right for a while, and suddenly took out a black object from his pocket and pointed at a woman waiting for the train with his back to him on the platform.
There was no sound on the surveillance screen, and everyone couldn't hear the gunshots, but Garcia couldn't help but cover his eyes, he couldn't bear to see this scene, and a murder was staged in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone present was powerless.
Danny lunged to his liaison and yelled into the phone, "Damn, where's the nearest officer?" ”
As for the number of surveillance on the streets, because of privacy issues, he had never heard of the existence of a similar domestic "Skynet" or "Sky Eye" monitoring system in the United States before he crossed.
Dana Moge, who didn't know when the center of operations appeared, walked up to Rossi and whispered, "There will be nearly 300 FBI agents in New York tonight, and this situation cannot continue." ”
"It's better than doing nothing, forcing the other person to leave the streets and subway stations, and changing his habits may be able to show some of his feet."
Hodgner actually didn't say half a sentence, today's scene can be described as a considerable blow to everyone's morale, a group of people watched the murderer kill but could not do anything, even he who had always been calm wanted to grit his teeth.
The most outrageous are the speed cameras installed at intersections, which are not many on the streets of New York, most of them are installed on the roads around schools, and according to state law, these speed cameras are required to be turned off between 10 p.m. and 6 p.m. the next day.
"Jack, Jiejie, and Rosie wait for Detective Reagan to go to the scene."
"I'll go too."
Although the BAU team is here to do the profiling work, instead of everyone sitting in the office tearing up the manuscript paper, it is better to send them all out on the street, at least not to let the other party continue to be so arrogant.
"He's going to run." Garcia let out a mournful cry with tears in her eyes, and Jiejie, who was beside her, reached out and hugged her, her eyes also reddened.
And the more unsafe the area, the more vulnerable these surveillance cameras are to vandalism, accounting for one-third of the total number of cameras that need to be maintained each year.
Emily was the first to volunteer, and the newcomer Luke Elvis himself was a man of action, and he couldn't sit still for a long time.
"All of them put on body armor to identify themselves, at least in pairs, and I have a feeling that those guys are not necessarily coming for the BAU, but most likely for the FBI." Jack didn't object, just a reminder
Hodgner loosened his tie and looked a little confused, "Garcia found that the murderer this time is not the same person as the previous two. ”
Jack clenched his back molars, his face was also unsightly, and in his previous life, because of privacy and various aspects of resistance, the NYPD did not officially equip each patrol officer with a law enforcement camera with a camera until 2015.
When Jack and the others returned from the scene of the crime, they found everyone gathered in his small office, standing behind Garcia and watching something.
The images on the big screen began to switch continuously until the killer in the hoodie reappeared in the frame, and a technician said loudly, "He ran to the west side of 59th Street, in front of which is the park, and there is a blind spot for surveillance." ”
What is the purpose of triggering the FBI and NYPD to take to the streets on a large scale? If the other party really wants to use this to attack the FBI agent or police officer, just drive a truck full of fertilizer and go directly to the Hoover Building, and it is not like no one has done such a thing before.
In fact, there is no need for him to say it, everyone is staring at the big screen, watching the guy in the hoodie disappear at the end of the frame, and there is no figure in the patrol uniform from beginning to end.
"The scene is the same as before, almost nothing, what are you looking at?" Jack wondered.
Jack's letting everyone wear body armor with FBI letters on the streets is not only for safety reasons, but also a gesture, which not only shows the attitude of the FBI, but also is a kind of psychological reassurance to the citizens.
"Except for Red and Garcia who continue to stay, we'll all be on the streets tomorrow during the day, like Jack said, in pairs, be vigilant." Hodgner said in a deep voice.
The killer changed the frequency of attacks from once every two or three days to once a day after the FBI announced that he was officially involved, and Jack couldn't figure out why the other party did this.
"Now there are 3 murderers?" Rosie looked incredulous.
Garcia is no longer the ordinary housegirl who covered her eyes when she saw a little bloody picture, and when everyone was discussing the allocation of personnel, she had silently returned to Jack's small office to continue her work, and began to analyze the surveillance footage just now.
Danny put down the phone and slammed his fist on the table, "The nearest officer is a block away, and it will take at least 2 minutes to arrive." ”
(It's not like I'm making it up, in reality it wasn't until 2022 that New York City took back control of those traffic cameras from the state legislature.) )
"We lost track of the suspect." A technician whispered.
"In that case, the killer may move to another location, such as a library, a park, a community center, or even a school." Joyna said worriedly.
When the "DC sniper" was at its most raging, the National Guard was dispatched.
"Switch the surveillance cameras and track his whereabouts." Jubal stared at the figure who left the platform, and the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance.
The world is even more outrageous, although Frank Reagan has pushed for it after becoming the commissioner, due to funding and obstruction by some politicians, the number of cameras installed by the NYPD in New York City is still less than 8,000.
No one blames the NYPD, Frank has sent all the detectives on leave out on the streets, and it is still impossible to completely cover all the neighborhoods and subway stations.
"Tomorrow we'll go out on the street to help too!"
Since you can't figure out the other party's routine for the time being, you might as well take two steps according to the other party's wishes to see, what you represent is the ultimate violent organ, and what you represent is the momentum of the dignified situation, and the big deal is to increase the weight layer by layer.
"So the likelihood of gang crime has gone up?" Jiejie flipped through the gang information for a day today, and didn't gain anything, and when she thought that she might have missed something, her heart was suddenly full of chagrin.
"Or maybe it's a family crime, the murderer may be a brother or something, I hope that tomorrow after everyone is on the street during the day, I will come back at night and continue to write to make sure that no clues are missed."
Although everyone is consciously working overtime, Hodchner's arrangement basically means that everyone will have to eat and live in the federal building.
