Chapter 1068 Sewers, Steam and Secret Lines
The little sweet girl was hit by a glass shot. The left half of her back, except for the part protected by the bulletproof vest, from her shoulders to her proud The small buttocks were beaten to a bloody pulp by the broken tempered glass, which looked extremely terrifying.
Hannah did not completely avoid the suicide drone. She just hid her injuries in the team communication in order to prevent everyone downstairs from being distracted by her.
In fact, Jack should have noticed at that time, because it was abnormal for Hannah to fail to provide support after occupying the sniper position.
But because he had been distracted by the situation of the armored vehicle, he did not think about it in detail, let alone after seeing the remote-controlled bomb.
Fortunately, this is New York and not Los Angeles, because it is cold and I wear a lot of clothes. In addition, after the tempered glass breaks, it will not form a sharp angle like ordinary glass. Such injuries are just scary to look at.
Although this is a scarier thing than a serious injury for a girl who loves beauty, Jie Jie’s cheek has also been injured before, and it was quickly treated with someone’s so-called “secret recipe” passed down by the ancient oriental palace. The recovery is as good as before or even better than before, so I'm not too worried.
Jiejie and Alice accompanied Hannah to the hospital. Jack, who stayed at the scene, was still suffocating, especially when Jon Michaels, the head of the international department, had the nerve to jump out and point fingers. when.
Fortunately, this guy is still thinking clearly and did not try to bring down the wanted criminal team who came to help, but it is really annoying to see him desperately trying to blame the NYPD.
Frank Regan, who rushed to the scene in person, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot and said nothing the whole time, completely treating this guy as nothing.
It wasn't until he sent this guy away that he waved away all the entourage, came to Jack who was standing at the sewer entrance and was sulking, and handed a cigar, "How big of a problem are we in?"
"Let your Ministry of Internal Affairs get moving first." Jack waved his hand in refusal. He did not have the habit of smoking cigars before the problem was solved.
Although theoretically only he could see the ESU member escorting Zhang Mingjun out of the armored vehicle through the dissipating smoke, the three corpses in the vehicle could not deceive anyone.
It’s not scary if a traitor appears in the NYPD. What’s scary is that this traitor executed his three brothers without hesitation.
"I will personally draft a report and submit it to the Ministry of Justice for explanation." Frank said solemnly.
Jack stared blankly at the sewer mouth where steam was constantly coming out. Then he shook his head and said, "Don't rush to conclusions. Let's first notify the CSI laboratory to collect evidence. The best thing is to find out the identities of those guys." The main thing.
I will work hard to fight for this case. You'd better go to the hospital to visit Danny. His condition is not good."
Hearing Jack talk about his eldest son, Frank's director's face suddenly became tense, "My people told me that Danny's life will not be in danger. Could it be..."
Knowing that he had misunderstood something, Jack quickly corrected himself, "Of course not, Danny was trapped in the car at that time, watching what happened next, and at the same time his dead colleagues were lying next to him, he may have some psychological problems. "
Jack said it a little euphemistically, but. He actually discovered very early that Danny had mild PTSD, which was probably caused by certain experiences during the military service.
However, this guy always looked like a tough guy in front of others, and the situation was not serious, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, no one in this generation has any psychological problems. Frank hesitated for a moment and saw that the entourage he had brought with him was looking at us eagerly. He hesitated and whispered, "I will go see him later."
"If that doesn't work, let Linda talk to him." Jack hesitated for a moment before making a suggestion. Frank mainly focused on paternalistic education. Although he was a more open-minded one, the one with the highest emotional intelligence in the family was Danny's wife Linda. .
At this time, a potbellied senior police officer who accompanied Frank put down the phone and finally couldn't help but stepped forward, "Sir, the municipal technician said that the steam pressure in the sewer here is very unstable. You'd better Stay away from the explosion site. "
There are many urban legends in New York's sewers. In addition to those carefully cultivated through remote breeding, the so-called "conscience of the city", the most famous ones are crocodiles and turtles.
The theory that there are crocodiles in the sewers of New York is more widely circulated than the many versions of the legend of human-meat buns in major metropolitan areas in the East.
As for the turtle, it naturally refers to the famous comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Unfortunately, this world should not have integrated American comics, otherwise it would be the turn of the four pizza-loving guys to appear in the subsequent plot.
For most people who know this country through Hollywood movies, the scene of the hot air spurting from the mouth of the manhole lifting the little skirt of a beautiful lady should be deeply impressive.
The Edison Company began building steam pipelines underground in New York City as early as the 19th century, in 1882. There is still a 169-kilometer complex steam pipeline running underground under Manhattan Island today.
The steam is used by hospitals for high-temperature sterilization and provides heating to nearly 100,000 homes in winter, including the luxury penthouse apartment that Rosie lent to Jack.
So it's not that Jack doesn't want to chase, but after the explosion causes the road to sink and crush the steam pipe in the sewer, he will basically end up being burned into a pig's head when he goes down.
As for tracking down another sewer outlet, I'm sorry, but the drawings of New York City's sewers and underground pipelines are both confidential documents and cultural relics with a history of hundreds of years.
By entering that complex and ancient underground system without careful planning and preparation in advance, Jack could not gain anything except making himself smell dirty.
The only hope now is to get some clues by blocking and investigating various traffic arteries, but he also has no hope for this.
Since the other party can bribe the ESU special police, obtain the FBI's route to escort the key criminals, and prepare RPGs, professional suicide drones, and high-yield explosives in advance without triggering the ATF early warning, then they should not be in trouble. What mistakes were made in the evacuation plan.
The ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is an extremely powerful federal law enforcement unit in the United States, and has a large number of undercover agents and informants in important cities like New York.
The daily exchange of information between the FBI and ATF is extremely frequent. If there is any trouble on the road, Jack and the others must have known about it from the report.
This shows that the weapons and equipment used at the scene, and even the explosives that were finally detonated, are extremely secretive. They could not have been purchased locally, but were transported through an unknown secret route.
Since this secret route can transport so many dangerous goods, it may also be able to transport people out secretly.
