Chapter 453 The compromise that had to be made
"John Bryan Adams, a member of the board of directors of Raytheon Technologies in America, was shot and killed at the entrance to the first floor of the Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue in midtown Manhattan, New York, on the evening of January 4, 2027. He was preparing to attend Raytheon's event at the Empire State Building Annual celebration ceremony held.”
Peter looked left and right, and could vaguely see a number 1 on the dead back of Adams VI.
Although he hoped it was just his imagination.
“We cannot tell the outside world because it involves the risk of exposure of the transaction between us and the Lion City.
Once this matter is exposed, don't make any choice. When the Donkey Party comes up, one of us will be imprisoned in federal prison. ”
Early the next morning, Peter took a special plane to fly to Washington, and this was the first thing he said when he saw the deputy commander.
He could hear the fear in the other party's tone and the idea of going through formal channels to solve the problem.
Obviously, the death of Adams VI was an absolute earthquake for Washington.
The status of the other party is 10,000 times more important than that of Brian Thompson, CEO of Federal Health Insurance Co., Ltd., who passed away a few years ago.
In each generation of Adams tribe, only one can inherit the name John Adams.
Others can only inherit the surname, and there is no way to call Adams* alive.
In other words, a direct descendant of the Adams family was beaten to death in front of the Empire State Building.
The impact was a bit too much.
The location of the Empire State Building is also very representative.
When Brian Thompson passed away, the American media reported it one after another, and even the murderer Luigi came out of the circle.
This time, both the New York police and federal authorities will dig deep to dig out the person.
So in Peter's view, all they had to do was wait.
If the federal police and powerful agencies can't solve it, they can't solve it either.
"I didn't see anything, I just heard three very dull gunshots. After the gunshots ended, I realized what happened. I looked around and saw only a man in a military green coat leaving in a hurry. I didn't see anything. Face it.”
"I saw the front face. He was wearing a pair of Metaglass. He had blue eyes and three-dimensional facial features. He looked like a mixture of Slavic and Latino."
"I was standing next to the murderer at that time. He very calmly took out a pistol from his coat. I don't remember the shape of the pistol. I only know that it was very small. I didn't even notice that he had a pistol in his hand."
The New York police are really in a hurry, because although January 4th is not a federal holiday, January 1st is, and January 2nd and January 3rd, 2027 are weekends, and many people are on January 4th. Take this day off to make your vacation longer.
This also led to the fact that there were so many people at the Empire State Building at the moment the accident occurred, and there were countless witnesses at the scene who witnessed the murderer killing Adams VI.
Because the people involved were so important, everyone was called to cooperate with the investigation.
As a result, everyone gave different accounts of what the killer looked like.
Some say the eyes are blue, some say the eyes are green, and some say the eyes are brown.
Then there are various opinions on the appearance.
You ask about surveillance video? How could there be a video of the shooting led by Alpha?
"Sorry, Mr. Adams, we don't have a unified result yet." Adams apologized.
Abigail Adams, the uncle of Adams VI, was appointed by the Adams family to be solely responsible for this matter, and the murderer must be caught and brought to justice.
The person in front of him who was responsible for answering was New York City Mayor Eric Adams.
Forgot to mention, Eric Adams is black and has nothing to do with the Adams family.
If it weren't for the people coming and going around now, and the employees of the Federal Police Department were all working, Abigail would have wanted to say to the other party: Are you worthy of the surname Adams?
But even if he didn't say this, his contempt for black people was still obvious in his words and actions: "All I need is a portrait of the murderer.
There were more than a hundred witnesses at the scene and on the way the murderer left. A hundred people saw his face. Can't you even give me a portrait? ”
Abigail could not imagine the incompetence of the New York police.
Big figures like Adams VI are surrounded by dense bodyguards. The existence of bodyguards determines that if Gassan wants to complete the kill wearing a mask, he will be prevented from approaching as soon as he appears on the scene.
The pistol provided to him by Alpha was not enough to allow him to kill from a distance.
So he could only approach the entrance of the Empire State Building with his true face.
"We suspect the Metaglass on his face provided him with cover.
As you know, Metaglass now provides AI-driven appearance generation effects.
Eye color, eye shape and light and shadow effects around the nose can all be changed, giving different impressions to witnesses who saw his appearance at different times. ”
After the explosive period of smart glasses, there are many interesting practical applications.
Matrixglass's self-management system is just one of them. The main feature of this generation of Metaglass is one-click change.
It uses zoomable display technology to allow you to look different with just a pair of glasses.
Because the visual effect of your appearance on others is generally determined by the triangular area formed by the eyes and nose. The similarity of this triangular area will give you the feeling that the two people look alike.
After the launch of this generation of Metaglass, the most popular related videos on Douyin were of many celebrities wearing Metaglass.
Scarlett, Jennifer, Olsen, Taylor. Female bloggers appear in front of Douyin for just fifteen seconds, and the visual effect they give you is that different female stars appear on the same face.
Such interesting applications have boosted Metaglass’s sales.
It is precisely this kind of application that leads them to not know the true appearance of the murderer at all.
During the blockade operation at the time of the murder, not even a single hair was found.
But how could a family like the Adams rely solely on federal police?
Even if you think about it with a dog's brain, the federal police may be as reliable as the black mayor named Adams.
Local detective agencies in New York, such as Pinkerton Detective Agency, Dieter, Wesley, etc., all locally famous detective agencies in New York were mobilized.
Don't tell me that the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which hunted criminals in the West, no longer exists. After being acquired by the Swedish security company Secolida, Pinkerton is only part of a large multinational security group.
It still provided investigative services, and under pressure from the Adams family, Pinkerton investigators all sprang into action.
"Mayor." The federal employee walked into Mayor Adams' office and saw Adams with a sad face: "What? Is that guy Abigail here again?"
The federal employee shook his head: "He'll never come again."
Mayor Adams stood up and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Abigail is dead."
Abigail kept coming twice a week to put pressure on New York City, trying to force them to mobilize all their forces to investigate. This also led to Adams not wanting to see Abigail with the same surname at all.
But he never thought that Abigail would die.
"What's going on!" Mayor Adams asked in shock.
"He was shot and killed by Bette Lumpkin near the Venice, Florida, airport," the employee said.
The culprit has been caught by Florida police.
Bette Lumpkin kept silent and was calling for a lawyer, who was said to be involved in the deaths of the Lampkins. ”
As an old black man, it is normal to have poor memory. Adams searched his mind and could not find any information about the Lampkins: "Who are the Lampkins?"
"Lampkin's full name is Jeff Lampkin, he is the vice chairman of Raytheon Company. He and his wife unfortunately crashed and died while vacationing in Florida.
Together with another couple named Rick and Bette Beaver, they flew a Piper PA-32 single-engine light aircraft that crashed in the Gulf of Mexico shortly after taking off from Venice Airport. Death.
All four passengers on the flight died.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
There was no severe weather that day, and the official investigation report from the National Transportation Safety Board has not been released. There are conspiracy theories that they were killed by Raytheon, but this statement has never been confirmed. ”
There was Adams VI before him and Abigail Adams after him. There is no doubt that two members of the Adams family died unexpectedly.
Mayor Adams just couldn't turn around, and he also smelled the danger approaching, "Could something happen to someone with my last name Adams?"
"Do you want me to change my last name?" Mayor Adams asked.
The federal employees were confused, "What?" I'm telling you about the case, and you're telling me about changing your surname?
The Adams family has been hinting that they want you to change your surname, but you don't change it. What's wrong now?
Mayor Adams, who didn't know the inside story, even smelled something ominous, and the deputy commander in Washington felt even more turbulent.
The president personally addressed the deaths of members of the Adams family.
Fortunately, the second murderer of Abigail Adams' death was caught, and the reasons behind it were well-founded. Revenge for his parents couldn't be more justifiable.
But they didn't wait long to relax. When the third member of the Adams family died, everyone realized that something was wrong.
This is a fixed-point blast.
Alpha's side unleashed the guilt of every dead Addams Family member.
But this was enough to put everyone in America in danger, and under the leadership of the Adams family, a special operation was launched in the Lion City.
At least for the Federation, this is what must be done.
The federal Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "Stennis" departed from Hawaii and went straight to Changi Base.
It looks like it wants to exert pressure through the aircraft carrier.
But it was obvious that while it was still on the way, two "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles from the Changi base made the "Stennis" return the same way.
"Guys, I think we need to have a positive and effective conversation.
What the Lion City and Malaysia pursue is independence, rather than leaning towards either America or China.
The deaths of members of the Addams Family were well deserved, and we are just giving a small favor to the innocent victims who want revenge. ”
To be honest, Oraz was very nervous when he came to Congress in Washington to hold this closed-door hearing.
But he knew that this was the task given to him by Samad, and it would be impossible if he didn't go. He didn't want to lose everything he had now.
If Samad can't get things done, how can he secure his position as CEO of Alpha Technology with his limited qualifications?
"This is a serious provocation against us!"
"Okay, Mr. Congressman, I know Raytheon is behind you. You'd better think about whether you have any enemies. If so, we will be happy to provide the other party with a little information.
Everyone, the biggest advantage of Alpha Technology is information. ”
If Oraz came here to say this before the Stannis, it would have no effect, but after the Stannis, it was too effective.
After the last time America Base was operated by Alpha Technology to launch missiles, all relevant personnel were changed.
Transferred back to America from its original base.
For bases like the Changi Base in the Lion City, the staff has also changed.
As a result, Alpha Technology followed suit and launched the Harpoon anti-ship missile.
It's not scary if it's launched, but it's scary if it can accurately hit the Stennis.
It is true that two missiles cannot sink the Stennis, but what about two hundred? What about the salvos of missiles from places like Changi, Guam, and Okinawa?
It was only after the Stennis incident that Oraz had the opportunity to come to Capitol Hill to hold closed-door hearings.
"We hope to maintain a good cooperative relationship with America. We have extensive cooperation foundations in consumption, technology, tourism, finance, infrastructure and other fields.
It is on this basis that we have not exposed what Alpha Technology has done to the media.
If it were exposed to the media, I believe it would be an absolutely impossible problem for America to handle.
China is also very willing to seize such opportunities. They have proven it once in the past, haven't they? ”
Obviously, this last sentence was the straw that broke the camel's back.
After this trip to the White House, Congress quickly agreed to the relevant treaties, even if there were still a few members who objected.
Even the remaining members of the Adams family hope to find opportunities again, rather than confront Alpha Technology under such an obvious information disadvantage.
Abigail's death really frightened them.
Who doesn’t point out the dark history and opponents?
With a company like Alpha Technology working against you and trying every means to disclose your specific information to your opponents, you can't even sleep well.
Not to mention, he has the ability to launch America missiles.
What if you sleep well in your own manor and I give you a missile to clear the floor?
The Patriot missile developed by Raytheon Company, but the Adams family was wiped out by the Patriot missile regiment?
This is a bit too much of a joke.
It was precisely because of various threats that America had to agree to the conditions offered by the Lion City.
The Lion City became the first country in the entire Asia-Pacific region to break free of America's dog leash.
