Chapter 40: The Times Square Incident
In March, New York gradually has a bit of spring, and in the green belt on the roadside, a little new green is shining on the dry branches, giving people a new hope.
The temperature is slowly warming up, and the beauty-loving ladies can't wait to take off their heavy down and fur coats and put back on stockings and short skirts.
Emily is an intern reporter at the New York Times, a top student in the communications department of Stanford University, and her idol is the world's No. 1 female war correspondent, Oriana Farage.
When girls of the same age dress up and date handsome guys every day, she puts on low heels and dark suits, goes out without makeup, and runs around the major poor communities in New York all day long, trying her best to speak up for the weak and complain to the society!
The Joseph family was the term she had heard most frequently lately, and with it came murder, drug trafficking, kidnapping, reversal of black and white, manipulation of parliament, and other heinous crimes, and just yesterday another family was torn apart by the murder of a man, rape and suicide of a woman, leaving a five-year-old daughter alone.
Emily saw the surviving little girl in the orphanage, the helplessness in the little girl's eyes and the numbness after the loss of her parents pierced her heart, she had never hated this country so much at this moment, everyone in New York knew that the Joseph family was heinous, but still allowed it to act recklessly, I have to say that it is the sadness of American law.
If even the law can't punish these criminals, then who can do justice?
A few years ago, there was a "punisher" who walked in the dark, he punished criminals with his own standards, and spread justice, at that time, all the big people in New York were in fear, and New York, as the world's largest economy, a giant city with a population of millions, because of such a person, the crime rate that could not be suppressed for many years dropped by more than 50% in just half a year.
It was the worst of times, because those who carried out lynchings and ignored the law became the idols of the whole people, and it was also the best of times, because there was hope in people's hearts, and every villain had to take responsibility for what he did, and everyone could confront the criminals in public: "Wait! Sooner or later, the punisher will come to you to settle the score!"
But since the punishers were secretly arrested, the big men in power were relieved and relieved, but the largest number of citizens once again returned to the dire straits.
Emily sat in a café on the edge of Times Square, silently sipping hot coffee, while watching the report of Anselm Joseph, the head of the Joseph family, and a certain councillor having a private meal, and at the same time thinking in her mind how to ruthlessly and thoroughly expose the Joseph family's crimes, even at the risk of losing her job and being murdered, she must do it!
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden exclamation from outside the window, followed by exclamations in the café, and many people pushed away the tables and chairs and ran out of the door.
Emily's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden change, her eyes gradually focused, and she turned to the window, and the next moment, her pupils dilated rapidly, and she blinked to herself, looking at the scene in disbelief.
I saw that the square that was still deserted had turned into a sea of people at this time, and everyone was cheering and jumping, picking up something on the ground.
It wasn't until a dark green paper ticket floated in front of her eyes in front of her that Emily was finally shocked that Franklin's bust could be clearly seen through the glass window, which was dollars!
She looked at the sky, and saw that the vast square was full of money, and the people below were gathering more and more.
There are money in the sky, and this kind of wonder has never been encountered in the history of New York.
In the spirit of a reporter's professionalism, Emily quickly took out the camera she had brought with her and began to shoot.
Just as people were bathing in the crazy rain of banknotes, the advertising screen on the largest wall in Times Square suddenly stopped the advertising projection, and instead cut to a dark and gloomy background, and the next moment a middle-aged man with a tired face appeared in the video.
"I'm Alden, a high-ranking internal staff member of the Joseph family, but in fact a high-ranking thug, and in four years from 2002 to the present, I have been instructed by Anselm Joseph to participate in 15 murders and more than 30 drug traffickings, and more than 200 incidents of intimidation and wounding......
The man in the video is none other than Alden, who is expressionless and recounts his crimes, his voice low and hoarse, as if telling the story of another inconsequential person, without any reaction.
The sound of the wall screen advertisement was loud, and this strange picture and tone gradually attracted people's attention, and with the exposure of the Joseph family and the factual statement of various criminal details, more and more people's attention gradually focused on the video.
At the same time, many mainstream media outlets in Times Square realized the huge news value, and quickly mobilized long guns, short guns and camera cars, and rushed to the scene en masse to start the whole live broadcast.
So in just a few minutes, the video was already online and appeared on all the instant news channels in the United States.
"Anselm Joseph is the head of Joseph's criminal syndicate, I know all his crimes, in addition to organizing and planning various illegal and criminal actions, he even personally killed no less than 10 people, they are Andrew Watson, a freelance lawyer, Jack Feeley, a police detective in New York's North Side Bureau, and an FBI agent Jones JK. Cage...... I am responsible for what I say, and I testify against Anselm Joseph. ”
After a full ten minutes of presentation, the screen went black and switched to another person—an Asian man wearing an eye-blindfold with a dark blue ribbon tied around his forehead.
"Dear citizens of New York, good morning, I am a Dark Warrior, and I hope you all like the New Year gift I just gave to you, yes, that magical and wonderful rain of money just now, of course, it was not given by God, but I borrowed it from the Joseph family!
"Look! This next video may give you a deeper understanding of the origin of this batch of dollars!"
Then the light flashed, and the real picture of the port drug trade was presented in front of the eyes of the audience across the United States, but this video only cut to the moment when Cadeson and Sakurako shook hands, and the later picture was too bloody and incredible, so Yang Xiao did not cut it in.
"I believe everyone has seen that this is a new type of HIV12 drug, addictive and fast, difficult to quit, ten times more harmful than ******, once it flows into the market, it will inevitably cause immeasurable damage, this batch of goods should have been sent to the New York Police Department now, as for the other 20 million US dollars, yes, it is all in everyone's hands now......"
"Joseph family, remember that today is your judgment day, God will punish you, and I would like to conclude with a word to all the criminals in New York: Hey guys, your end has come!"
The light flashed, the screen went black, and the drama officially ended.
