Chapter 842 Road Chase with ASP
Jack's thoughts were not so pessimistic, "Rourke probably hasn't gone completely crazy yet. He obviously has an intended target. Don't forget that he was in the safe in the District Attorney's Office. The package of poisonous drugs that was taken away is a sample of extremely high purity. "
"Are you saying that he might choose to assassinate you?" Jubal looked thoughtful. He had mentioned it before. Not only can it be used to get high, it can also be used to kill people. Only two milligrams of high-purity phenolphthalein can kill people.
There was an extreme case where a drug smuggling ship dropped a large amount of high-purity phenolphthalene while being chased by the Coast Guard. As a result, it was washed up on the beach by the waves. The packaging was damaged and the entire beach was covered with of this dangerous substance.
Unknowing tourists just walked through the beach and lost their lives when their soles of feet scratched by shells came into contact with high-purity phenolphthalene.
"If he still has targets, maybe Samuel Gray knows something." Jubal threw the car keys to Aubrey and motioned for him to be the driver.
So everyone split up, leaving Alice resting in the hotel. Jack took the others in two cars. After contacting the ASP, they headed to Christ Mountain together.
ASP, as the Arkansas State Police, not only has highway police who chase people fiercely, but also has a criminal investigation department, but they are not as famous on the Internet as their colleagues who drive Dodge Chargers.
When the FBI arrived, several police detectives in civilian clothes were leading several teams of police officers, cooperating with the police from the local Sheriff's Office, to go door to door to inquire about the situation.
It can be seen that these residents have a pretty good attitude towards the local sheriff, and some even open the door directly to invite people into the house.
"Our people found the Dolanger 'TAHOE'! It's in the backyard of a house." The sheriff wearing a cowboy hat put down the walkie-talkie and waved to the FBI.
The capable style of the ASP police detectives was no less impressive than that of their colleagues in the highway department. When Jack and others drove behind the sheriff's car and arrived at the house he was talking about, they broke down the door. The search was completed in one go.
"We found a body in the house!" A sheriff's assistant trotted to his superior to report.
A few minutes later, the Sheriff looked at the body lying in the living room and chewed his teeth, "I know this guy, is his name Chip or something, this is his house."
The deceased was a white man in his early fifties, wearing glasses, with a gray beard and a completely bald head. He was shot several times in the chest, and the carpet under him was completely stained red with blood.
Seeing that there were several bullet holes in the carpet next to the corpse, Clay and Hannah put on gloves, lifted up the carpet next to the corpse, and dug out a bullet from the wooden floor.
"The .22LR pistol bullet should be from Rourke." Clay recognized the bullet model at a glance.
"What does this Chip do? Does it have anything to do with Forrest's court or Rourke?" Jiejie asked the local sheriff.
The Sheriff shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know, he is just an ordinary person, very peaceful, he seems to work in a medical company."
"This is his driver's license." Jack handed a wallet placed on the cabinet by the door to Hannah, who was holding a tablet.
"Chip Fox, 52 years old, twice divorced, single with no criminal record, works as a technician at a medical laboratory called 'Health Initiative'."
Hannah quickly looked up the information, and her expression Some confusion, "Why did Rourke kill him?"
"I don't know. Search the Internet to see if there is any information about him, and then check his social account." Jack said and took out the phone. .
Jubal and Aubrey have also caught the hacker named Samuel Gray. According to this kid's account, Rourke threatened to reject his suspended sentence and asked him to hack into it. The Court of Appeal’s server obtained all the “JNE” questionnaire information.
This is consistent with what the FBI speculated, but this hacker boy also confessed one thing. Just yesterday afternoon, Rourke found him again and asked him to hack into the "health promotion" medicine. Lab, look for a list of employees at this company.
"What on earth does he want to do?" Jubal was a little confused when he heard Jack say that he had just discovered that a deceased person was an employee of this medical laboratory.
From the information, the medical laboratory called "Health Promotion" is just an ordinary medical institution, providing testing services for some common diseases and does not store any high-risk pathogens.
As for Chip Fox, he was just an ordinary technician. His job was similar to that of a male nurse in a hospital. Jubal really couldn't figure out the reason why Rourke attacked him.
"Jack, I may have discovered something." Hannah handed the tablet in her hand to Jack, and the other people gathered around.
“There is a report on the local news network, and it is the only information related to the name Chip Fox that can be found in public channels, saying that he personally gave Governor Sarah at St. Michael’s Hospital in Little Rock last week. Huckabee Sanders got tested for the flu ”
"Governor? Are you saying that Chip Foxx has access to the governor's lady?" Jubal on the other side of the phone was a little confused. As a stronghold of the Republican Party, Arkansas has produced many well-known Democratic politicians, such as Zipperton, but since the 1970s, the state Legislature has been basically controlled by the Republicans.
The current governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, comes from an old local political family. She is just in her early 40s and has worked in the White House for several years. Press spokesman.
Of course, the pressure on the golden retriever as a press spokesman can be imagined. Two years later, Sanders resigned in the name of taking care of his family.
After leaving office, she returned to Arkansas and participated in the gubernatorial election while taking care of her family. She suddenly became the first female governor in the history of the state, with a resume that was even more dazzling than Zoe's.
Of course, if Zoe can really succeed in obtaining a Senate seat before the age of 40, that is another matter.
“As governor, Sanders has the power to select state appeals court judges, so it’s no surprise that she would be the target of Rourke’s anger, but the question is what is he going to do?”
< br>It felt like the answer was about to come out, but Jubal couldn't figure out how Rourke was going to approach the governor's lady, who was under tight security next to her. This was much harder than rushing into the school with an automatic weapon.
"Of course he's impersonating Chip Foxx." Jack pulled up Rourke's photo on the tablet, covering his chin and forehead with sparse hair.
Hannah opened her mouth without any image, "Aha, as long as you clean your head and put on a mask and glasses, even acquaintances will have a hard time distinguishing the two of them, right? Rourke is a judge. The level is not very good, why are you so skilled in planning this kind of thing?”
"Perhaps this is one of the few experiences he has gained in his long career as a low-level judge."
Jack complained in a rather venomous way. Some people are like this and can't do anything serious. , but he is very good at doing bad things.
"Jubal, contact the governor's office immediately and ask them if the governor will do a nasal swab test for influenza today. Rourke just needs to sprinkle a sufficient dose of phenolphthalene powder on a cotton swab and it will be done in a few minutes. Kill her."
< br>——
The wind howled, and the nearby scenery on both sides of the highway disappeared on both sides of the car window at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. Clay held on to the seat belt with one hand and held it tightly with the other. He held his hand above the car window, and his nervous eyes did not dare to blink.
"Jack, I think with those ASPs here, Rourke shouldn't be able to escape."
No one would believe it, an elite man who has undergone rigorous training and can jump from a height of 10,000 meters without changing his face. The special forces soldier was so frightened by two consecutive rapid turns just now that his face turned pale.
After all, when playing HALO (high jump, low jump), the parachute rope is held in his own hands, but just now when Jack was continuously cornering at a speed of 220 kilometers per hour, he could only passively Sit in the passenger seat and let your past experience play out in front of you.
"But they are behind us now." Jack glanced at the rearview mirror and said calmly.
Behind the Dodge "War Horse" police car they "robbed", there was also a "War Horse" of the same ASP model with flashing police lights and wailing sirens. They seemed to be extremely angry. Being upstaged.
Clay looked suspiciously at the Ford F150 driven by the suspect Rourke in front of him, and then glanced sideways at the rearview mirror on the right. He was surprised to find that just before the marquee in front of him, Jack had already used Overtaking at two consecutive corners without slowing down at all, he caught up to the front of all ASP police cars.
The time goes back to ten minutes ago.
The governor of Arkansas originally had a charity fundraising dinner tonight. In order to attend the dinner, she had to take time out of her busy schedule to go to St. Michael's Hospital for a nasal swab accompanied by her bodyguard. detection.
Don't be "deceived" by the poor performance of the United States in an epidemic that swept the world in another world. People in the upper class usually care about their lives.
It is considered normal to attend social gatherings based on the test report. It does not matter whether you wear a mask or not, but as long as everyone present has been tested and confirmed to be OK, the chance of infection will be greatly reduced.
Jubal's call was timely. When the secretary from the governor's office contacted the female governor, her bulletproof SUV had just entered the hospital parking lot.
The nasal swab testing point is in the parking lot. The bodyguard who received the warning immediately raised the window glass and quickly drove away from the scene as soon as he turned the steering wheel.
At the same time, Rourke, who was wearing a blue isolation gown and a mask, and holding a poison swab disguised as a staff member, was about to step forward, but was almost run over by the governor's lady's bulletproof SUV.
The former judge, who sensed something was wrong, reacted very quickly. He tore off his isolation suit and ran with an agility that belied his age, rushing towards the Ford Raptor that had been parked not far away. Pickup.
This car was the one he snatched from Chip Fox's house, including the hospital parking pass in the car and the ID card on his chest. These were all things he could successfully replace and get close to. The key to the governor's poisoning.
