Chapter 661 Terrorists who are short of money
“Yes, Owen Jamerson, I made the transcript of his parents, a wealthy white family, his father has a hedge fund in his name, and his mother is a housewife. It is the richest family among the students' parents, and I made a special note."
Hannah lowered her head and took out her notebook, turned to this morning's notes, and continued, "I asked specifically about it at that time. Did their family receive threatening information recently? Oh, by the way, Owen's mother was the first to provide information about witnessing a green car following the school bus. "
" Owen was mentioned in your conversation. Does Jamerson know sign language?" Jack's question stunned Hannah for a moment and also attracted the attention of others.
Everyone present was smart. After hearing Jack's words, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the video. The little boy shrank and stretched his right hand on his chest.
"Play the video again." Jubal shouted loudly, and a group of people came closer.
In the video, after the man in the black hood said threatening words, he grabbed the little boy Owen by the back collar and pushed him closer to the camera. The latter seemed to be afraid and subconsciously stretched out his right hand. Protecting it on his chest, he quickly made two gestures with his fingers.
First, the index finger stretches out, and the middle finger hangs down to meet the thumb. Then he makes a fist with one hand, and the thumb is sandwiched between the index finger and the middle finger, slightly exposing the fingertip.
——
"Confirmed, Owen Jamerson's mother said that his cousin Pepper has hearing impairment, and she taught Owen some sign language." Hannah put down her phone and said .
"What a smart little boy. These two gestures represent the letters P and T respectively, but what exactly does PT mean?" Jubal wrote the two letters on the paper and then frowned.
“We don’t know yet, but we’ll figure it out. The NYPD just found Givens’ dark gray Chevrolet. I’m on a video call with him right now. Please help me connect to the screen.”< br>
Jack said and handed the phone to a technician, and soon Danny's old face appeared in front of everyone, "Hi, everyone, oh, Ms. Moge, long time no see."
After saying a brief hello to everyone, Danny pointed his cell phone camera at the car that the NYPD had just found, "Hannah, is this the Chevrolet you saw before?"
"At least The model and color are complete, but I can’t completely confirm it. After all, I couldn’t even see the license plate number clearly at the time.” Hannah was a little embarrassed, so Jack simply looked up at the sky. When Hannah chased him out, he was still dazed in the emergency passage. It's spinning in circles.
"Oh, it's okay. I found a lot of blood in the car. The technicians are collecting fingerprints. They will be able to confirm it soon. Let me talk about my findings first."
Danny said and scanned the camera roughly. Surroundings, "First of all, this is Queens. This car is at least ten blocks away from the trash can where Givens was suspected to be hiding.
Second point, all the blood stains on the car are concentrated on the side. The driving position, the driving position is clean, and here."
As he spoke, he pointed the phone screen at the edge of the passenger door, and continued, "Can you see the blood stains clearly? There were signs of dragging. "
"In other words, Givens was treated as garbage. After being injured by Jack, his companion was actually driving when he fled. "A smile suddenly appeared on Jubal's face.
"Can the people at the CSI laboratory confirm the identity of the driver through fingerprints and DNA as soon as possible? If they can confirm the identity of the other party, they may be able to find the children through this person. Do I need to send another ERT team?"
"It shouldn't be necessary, I have a better discovery here." I saw the camera shaking for a while, first two big nostrils appeared, then there was a dizzying shaking, and finally Danny's cry for help, " Jackie? How should I switch this damn camera back?”
Just when everyone in the combat center was shaken by him, the phone was finally switched to the rear camera and pointed. On the wall of a building not far away, there was a white surveillance camera, which was intact.
"I have obtained the video surveillance and will send it to you immediately. I just watched it and it is very clear."
The video surveillance sent by Danny is indeed very clear, but The content was unexpected, because the person who got out of the cab turned out to be a white woman in her thirties.
Half an hour later, in an independent conference room in the Federal Building, Dana Moge sat at the front, next to NYPD Commissioner Frank Regan, in addition to Danny Regan, Jubal, Lacroix, Jack and Hannah, and the only person with a fresh face, Ron Drexler, the head of the New York State Governor's Office who wears a suit and has a bit of a politician's temperament.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the screen at the other end of the conference room, which was playing a video.
“What has become of our American dream? Jobs and future hopes have all been taken away by those superior politicians, outsiders, and immigrants.
These parasites are clinging to the body of this country. To take this country back for true Americans, we need a violent and transformative moment. Only then can white people stand tall in this country again. This event is special. It’s not easy, but it concerns everyone here.”
On the podium with the Stars and Stripes hanging, a middle-aged white man with a square face, blond hair and blue eyes was giving a passionate speech. Unfortunately, the content of the speech was empty and full of content. Dry sensationalism and agitation. Even though his gestures and tone of voice were somewhat based on the style of a certain Mr. Mustache, without the benefit of the German language, they were far inferior to them.
Jubal turned off the video with a disgusted expression on his face, then stood up and introduced, "This person's name is Tiger Kane, the leader of a white supremacist organization that advocates violent extremism. We believe he was kidnapped. The child is in his hands. This is a public speech he gave two years ago.
We compared the audio of this speech with the blackmail video, as you just heard. Same, the results show a match
According to DHS (Department of Homeland Security) information, Tiger Kane planned and organized a series of illegal rallies in recent years, and incited violence and advocated against non-Christian religions. "
Then he switched to another video, which was the surveillance video sent by Danny before.
"This is his wife Emma Kane, the driver of the dark gray Chevrolet. There is currently no criminal record, but we believe that she also participated in and carried out the kidnapping this time. Fifteen minutes ago, our facial recognition program will She retrieved it."
"I don't understand why someone like him hasn't been arrested before," asked Ron Drexler from the governor's office.
"Obviously, he is not at the top of the list of domestic terrorists, and has gone underground very early. According to the NSA (National Security Agency), they have indeed received some rumors recently, Tiger Kane may be planning something big."
Dana Moger sighed after explaining, closed the information in her hand and pinched her eyebrows.
Frank Regan’s mustache that looked like the great Detective Poirot trembled, “So, the reason why Tiger Kane blackmailed the governor for one million dollars was probably for planning. A large-scale terrorist attack? ”
"Maybe there will be some funds left for them to continue their activities. After all, the price of explosives on the black market is not high now." Jack added that although the atmosphere on the border between Da Mao and Er Mao is tense and friction is constant, the war has not officially started yet.
"Then what are you going to do? If the ransom is not paid, it will cost the lives of 26 children, which is no different from a terrorist attack." Ron Drexler was a little anxious.
"Of course we will continue to pay the ransom." Frank Regan glanced at him and said lightly.
“It just needs to be treated with caution. The other party has a well-planned plan, but when asking for ransom, they only want cash. There are obviously better ways, such as overseas account transfers or cryptocurrency. There must be something wrong here.
< br>It is very likely that the other party has prepared everything. They only need to wait for the cash to immediately conduct transactions to obtain the materials needed to carry out the attack, whether it is explosives or arms. Perhaps while we are busy rescuing those children, a bigger crisis will arise. It will break out in New York City”
Everyone fell into silence for a moment, and Frank's words hit the mark.
Waiting for the others to continue speaking, Lacroix, who had been writing and drawing in a notebook, suddenly said, "Can we start from their base of operations."
See everyone The eyes he cast on him were full of doubts, and he explained, "Givens should be their newly recruited operative. The small apartment where he usually lives is obviously impossible to squeeze in a group of extremists. That would be too eye-catching.< br>
So they need a base that is remote enough that frequent people coming in and out will not arouse suspicion, but it is obvious that they do not have enough money. Even before planning a terrorist attack, they have to kidnap to extort operational funds. .
Can we start from this point and investigate the background of all known members of that group, especially the properties they own, who can hide a school bus and 26 crying children? A place that won’t arouse suspicion from those around you.”
Jubal nodded in agreement, took the tablet and started operating it, "It sounds very reasonable, I will arrange it now."
Everyone continued to discuss for a while, until the glass door of the conference room was opened. After ringing, an analyst poked his head in nervously, "Everyone, a new video has been sent."
On the big screen in the operations center, someone who did not know that his true identity had been exposed Tiger Kane appeared above again, still wearing a black hood and standing in front of the white sheets, with an arrogant tone.
“I know the FBI is involved, so I want an FBI agent to come in person and bring a million dollars in cash, all in hundred dollar denominations, to Brixton and Reeves In the alley between streets
Only one person, no tracker, don't play tricks, don't let me see SWAT, otherwise all the children will die, you only have 30 minutes, not even a second. Much.”
