After finishing speaking, Rossi turned to look at Danny, "Detective Reagan, I hope that the NYPD and the FBI will jointly hold a press conference to announce to the public as soon as possible that the murderer who has been ravaging the streets and attacking passers-by has been killed by the police on the spot." ”

Danny nodded and turned to leave, not even bothering to ask the medical staff in the ambulance to help check his body, after all, he was an experienced old police detective, how could he not see that something was wrong at the moment.

Today, the streets are full of patrolling police officers and FBI agents wearing body armor, especially FBI agents, whose identities are clearly indicated by the three conspicuous yellow letters on the body armor.

But yesterday they were able to avoid the surveillance of the police, and the murderer who continued to kill people under the surveillance cameras without fear, today he stupidly launched an attack less than two intersections from them, and then was killed logically.

Although the profile of BAU has not been officially announced to the public before, Danny has participated in the process of profiling almost the whole process, multi-person action, organized, almost every time he commits crimes in the surveillance area, and he can always avoid the direct shooting of the camera, plus today's guy who is obviously committing suicide by the hands of the police, some answers are about to come out.

"What does it mean that they understand the FBI's response to different levels of threats, that they have anti-surveillance skills, that they are highly organized and hierarchical, and that they can even willingly die to their deaths?"

The goal is to cause panic and onlookers before waiting for an opportunity to attack the second group of emergency responders. ”

Even if we hadn't caught the killer before this suicide attack, we would have only thought it was a serial murder case and would not reveal their true purpose, and they even studied past cases very carefully and tried to imitate them. ”

Imagine how long Manhattan Island would be shut down if it was a series of bombings, especially if they were followed by IEDs or even human bombs that were all aimed at emergency responders and rescue workers?

Thinking of this, almost all of them felt a chill rise on their backs, and beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Frank, who said this, was one of the first police officers to storm the scene, and just as he was escorting several civilians out of the scene, the building collapsed behind him, burying all of his colleagues.

The latter shook his head, "The feedback from the CIA is that except for a few major forces under key surveillance, there have been no new noteworthy organizations in the near future, and the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) and the NSA (National Security Agency) are also working hard to investigate terrorist organizations in the country." ”

But she didn't look smug at the moment, because a bigger threat was imminent, and they had no clue about it.

The few people on the scene who can still calm down, except for Jack, who has always been "in a good mood", are probably only Rossi, Dana Moge and Frank Regan, although Hodgner is still expressionless, but that ugly face has said it all.

In the afternoon, in the operations center of the Federation Building, everyone gathered, and Dana Morge and Frank Regan, who had just returned from the press conference, listened to Rossi's analysis, and their faces could no longer be described as ugly.

As always, Rhett analyzes without any emotion, using only a neutral tone, "It sounds crazy, but it's also very smart, attacking passers-by again and again is a drill after another."

"It does sound like the most sophisticated way to plan a terrorist attack while minimizing the risk of exposure, but the question is what is their ultimate goal?"

Joyner's question was unanswered, because there were so many targets for terrorist attacks in the New York area, and 911 was the case at the time, when the direct economic losses that could be calculated, including insurance compensation, casualties, reconstruction, and so on, were hundreds of billions of dollars.

The other party was watching everything that was happening at the scene from the beginning. ”

"If you look at random shooting in the street as a bomb attack, the conclusion is clear: the other side is observing and estimating the speed of the police response, and then they can know when to detonate a bomb again.

"Did you find anything again, Garcia?" Hodgner asked with a frown.

If Frank Reagan sees the city of New York as his territory, then terrorists are the most threatening destroyers of this territory, and although the damage caused by 911 to this city has long been cleaned up, the scars left in people's hearts can never be erased.

Manhattan, in particular, is an island in its own right, connected to the outside world by a limited number of tunnels and bridges.

"It's like the first police officers and rescuers who stormed the Twin Towers, no one expected that the building would suddenly collapse and bury everyone in it."

Garcia got up from his seat a little nervously, "Yes, yes, I think we're in trouble, we rechecked the NYPD's surveillance system, and found that there were traces of someone hacking into the system, and someone copied all the video footage of the crime scene."

"DHS, NSA, and CIA still don't have any information about the threat of terrorist attacks in the country?"

Rosie looked at Dana Moge, who had called her after he and Jack had analyzed it, and it had been half a day.

The New York Stock Exchange has been shut down for nearly a week, and the stock market has plummeted since it reopened, and the economic damage caused by it is simply incalculable.

"I remember spending a lot of money this year to update the system and upgrade the firewall, and they assured me that it wouldn't be wasted."

At this time, there was a sudden commotion behind the operation center, and everyone looked up, only to see Garcia appear there at some point, surrounded by several otaku from the IT technology department, who were arguing fiercely about something.

"What are they doing this for?" Dana Moge set her sights on her old lover Rossi.

Rosie tilted his head slightly, motioning for Red to speak.

When Jack was hit by a bomb attack on his first day in New York, which destroyed an old apartment, Dana Moge ordered the closure of all bridges, tunnels and stations throughout the city in accordance with the emergency plan.

This time it was Jubal who answered, and he has been paying attention to and following up on this information, after all, those guys almost blew up the Federal Building before, "I only know that it has flowed into the country, but the final destination is unknown, I immediately contacted my friends in the NSA to see if there is any latest development." ”

"Terrorists." Mr. Director said coldly.

"There are seven left, but that's a conservative estimate, and they're training these people through street raids, making sure they're willing to kill or kill themselves for the end goal, and at the same time confuse us, which really kills two birds with one stone." Jiejie replied.

"So we're dealing with a terrorist group that has at least eight operatives, and they're all dead?" Hannah's eyes widened, and the situation was changing so quickly that she couldn't react.

As the first person to discover the problem and invite BAU to solve the case, Joyna, although she made a small fuss because she didn't know Jack's identity, is also the person who has the most credit for this case so far.

Jack suddenly thought of a possibility that he had ruled out before, "The NSA has previously tracked down the whereabouts of the unknown funds of the Duranger drug cartel, nearly $10 million, which is enough to set off a large-scale attack, and there is no result so far?" ”

No matter how calm Mr. Director is, his old face is a little unbearable at this time.

Garcia hurriedly explained, "They were smart and didn't directly use hacking to hack into the system, but used 'credential stuffing' to crack some police accounts and passwords with access, and then used the Wi-Fi of various NYPD substations to log in to the police system and download these videos."

If we hadn't noticed that the number of downloads of these recordings in the system was abnormal, it would probably not have been detected at all. ”
