North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 611 Hosting the Press Conference

(Note: This chapter contains a large section of the press conference)
Jimmy returned to the office and saw that Mark and Julia were there. He directly arranged the task: "Mark, Julia, everyone will work overtime today. All clues and evidence will be checked. At the same time, a schematic diagram of the case scene needs to be made. Tomorrow There will be a press conference in the afternoon, and all relevant information about the three mass shootings this time will be disclosed at that press conference."

Julia: "So anxious? There are still many things we haven't checked clearly."

Jimmy shook his head: "Several supervisors just met and decided that the impact of three consecutive shootings would be too great, otherwise they would not appear in the conference room at the same time to discuss this case."

Mark: "Yang, then we need additional support. We will definitely not be able to make it in time by ourselves."

Jimmy: "I understand. I just want to tell you first. Now I will sort out all the content that needs to be investigated. I will apply for technical support. It must be done today. We will check the information tomorrow morning and the press conference will be held in the afternoon."

Mark glanced at Julia, who shrugged, turned to look at the computer screen, and continued to investigate.Mark nodded and began to continue the investigation just now.

Jimmy looked at their arrangements and turned around and left the office to go to Ruiz, but Ruiz was probably still with Dave, and Jimmy waited for a while before seeing him come back.Jimmy stopped him directly: "Ruiz, we need help."

Ruiz blinked, a little confused. He just came out of the conference room, so what happened? "what do you need?"

Jimmy: "The more people in the technical department, the better. We need to compile all the information today. The workload is too heavy. Oh, and you also need to contact the laboratory and the forensic office to prioritize our case." , we must give a report today.”

Ruiz frowned: "I don't have that many people to give you."

Jimmy: "You can count as many as you have. Now I need enough people to collect information and make a schematic diagram of the case scene, which will be used in the press conference tomorrow."

Ruiz nodded, and he also understood that it was a bit too anxious to directly decide to hold a press conference tomorrow in the meeting just now. Jimmy would definitely not have time to sort out the information, "Okay, I will call the technical department, you go Find them."

Jimmy smiled and nodded: "Thank you. By the way, remember to remind them that they will all work overtime today."

Ruiz: "Okay, you go back."

Jimmy returned to the office and tallied up the information they needed with Mark and Julia. In addition to the information about the shooter, there was also information about the deceased and the injured. These all needed to be coded and released at the press conference. Of course, they were selectively released. It is inconvenient to announce the death of the two children. It is too tragic.

After sorting it out, the three of them went directly to the technical department. It would be more convenient for them to investigate and save the time of going back and forth for authorization. In addition, Jimmy needed them to reconstruct the scene diagram of the shooting. This also needs to be dealt with, and there are three shootings. There is a lot of work on site.

Jimmy arranged everything, and then he had time to sit down and think about the manuscript for tomorrow's press conference. Fortunately, he had stayed in the Public Affairs Office for a few months before, so even if the manuscript he wrote was discarded, at least he was familiar with it. The process of the press conference and what I want to say are explained.

When he was working overtime in the evening, the takeout Jimmy ordered for Mark and the others was delivered. He took a piece of tomato sauce pasta and returned to his seat. He just made do with it. It happened that he was not very hungry now.

But when Julia saw the pasta, she felt a little uncomfortable, "Mark, I'll give this to you, I'll make some noodles."

Mark asked, "Huh?" in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Julia looked at the pizza next to her and shook her head again: "Well, I don't want to see red today, so I might as well eat instant noodles." After that, she went to the pantry, where there was a refrigerator and other food, but Normally no one would touch it, so it's far better to order a takeaway and have a good meal.

When Jimmy saw Julia going out, he immediately shouted from behind: "Julia, bring me a cup of coffee."

Although I'm in good spirits, a cup of bad coffee is also nice.

Jimmy: "Mark, is the report from the medical examiner's office here?"

Mark: "Three copies have arrived. I have contacted them. They will send them all before 0 o'clock tonight."

Jimmy: "Very good, what's the identity of the second gunman?"

Mark: "Confirmed. He is also a retired soldier, and may have been recruited through the same channels as others. Yang, I'm worried that this matter is not over yet... This Will Scott is probably not the mastermind behind the scenes."

Jimmy: "Don't worry. If there is a follow-up to this matter, people from the counter-terrorism team will intervene. They have much more resources than we do."

Mark: "Okay."

I was busy until midnight, and finally got most of the data and information. The technical department also submitted the rendered animations of the three shooting scene simulations, and it was finally over.

It was too late, and Jimmy and the others did not go home. They just found a place to rest. Jimmy went home in the morning and slept for another three hours. Then he took a shower and changed clothes and returned to the office again.

There was a press conference in the afternoon. Jimmy re-checked the information prepared by Mark and Julia before heading to the public affairs office. There was a makeup artist there to take care of him and communicate with Isabel in advance.

Today's speech was written by Jimmy himself. Isabel originally planned to check and adjust it for Jimmy, but there was really no time. It was already noon when Jimmy took it out, so he could only take a rough look at it and could not modify it in detail. .

Isabel: "By the way, there are a lot of media at today's press conference. The conference room space is limited, so we only allowed some media to participate, and some of them are waiting for us to finish the press conference and submit the live video to them. Relax, people." Not as much as you think.”

Jimmy nodded and straightened his clothes, "How do I look?"

Isabel: "Great, let's go, it's time for us to go in."

In the conference room, all the chairs under the stage were filled, and there was a circle of photographers taking photos and videos with cameras and cameras nearby. The battle seemed to be a little bigger than before.

Isabel first took the stage to introduce the theme of this conference, and then introduced the speaker this time, FBI senior agent Jimmy Young.

Jimmy came to the podium with the file folder. He looked around the reporters with a smile and then said: "Dear journalists, thank you for coming to today's press conference. I am the spokesperson this time, Jimmy Yang. At the same time, He is also the head of the investigation team that investigated three mass shootings in recent times.

As the leader of the investigative team, I will share with you some updates on recent mass shootings.

In less than two weeks, we have faced three mass shootings in Brooklyn and Queens that have seriously threatened the safety and public order of our cities and communities and caused widespread concern and concern.Regarding these three shooting cases, I am honored to announce that we have made an important breakthrough. All the suspects in the three shooting cases have been killed on the spot.

After the first shooting in Felix Park, Brooklyn, the FBI and the NYPD launched an all-out investigation.

In the first phase of the investigation, we discovered a shooting suspect through various technical means and interviews. During our investigation, he and another gunman launched a second shooting in Dyker Beach Park. Due to the timely lock-in, We identified the suspect. We located the gunman's location at the scene when the shooting occurred, exchanged fire with the gunman, and eventually the two suspects were killed.

As we investigated the social relationships of the two shooters, we discovered Suspect No. 3, who we believe was behind the mass shooting, and conducted a detailed investigation into him.

Thankfully, when they launched the third shooting, we arrived at the scene within 2 minutes of the shooting and killed the two shooters at the Queens Zoo on the spot.

This marks the end of this series of shootings and brings new hope for the safety of New Yorkers.

Next, I will explain the details of these three mass shootings to you in detail. Please watch the big screen. "

Jimmy reached out and motioned to Julia, who was operating a laptop next to her, to play the schematic diagram of the case scene produced overnight. Jimmy introduced in detail the casualties in the case and the information about the gunman.

This detailed introduction took up most of their press conference.

After the explanation, Jimmy signaled Julia to close the content on the big screen and start his concluding remarks again: "What I want to emphasize here is that the FBI's mission is to protect the life and safety of every citizen. We are not afraid of any challenges. We are afraid of any threats. No matter what kind of criminal behavior we face, we will resolutely fight against it to the end.

In the coming days, we will continue to pay close attention to the follow-up of the case and work closely with the New York Police to ensure that every link is properly handled.

In addition, we will also conduct an in-depth analysis of the case and analyze the criminal motives from various angles, hoping to obtain more clues and information so that this case can be solved more comprehensively.

I want to express my respect for our team and the New York Police Department.Their perseverance and dedication gave us the ability to withstand the stress of this case and successfully find a solution to the problem.Their courage and professionalism deserve the respect and gratitude of all of us.

Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all New Yorkers.Thank you for your support and trust, as well as your understanding and tolerance.We will continue to go all out to contribute our strength to the security and peace of New York.Our goal is peace for you, peace for all of us.Our mission is to protect you, to protect all of us.

I know you all have a lot of questions for us and I will do my best to answer them.Journalists, please ask questions one by one. "

Entering the stage of answering reporters' questions, Jimmy pointed to a reporter in the front row. The reporter asked: "Can you reveal the motives of these shooting suspects?"

Jimmy: "The suspect's specific motive is still under investigation. We are cooperating with the authorities and other relevant agencies to collect evidence and intelligence to find more clues."

Each reporter asked a question, and Jimmy pointed to another reporter. The reporter asked: "Regarding these three cases, does the FBI have sufficient evidence to confirm the identity of the suspect?"

Jimmy: "Yes, we collected a large amount of evidence during the investigation, including surveillance video, eyewitness testimony and physical evidence, etc. This evidence very strongly confirmed the identity of the suspect. Next."

Reporter: "Are there any other suspects still at large in these three cases?"

Jimmy: "We believe we have successfully arrested or killed all persons suspected of committing crimes. After detailed investigation and tracking, we have confirmed that only these suspects were involved in these three cases, and there are no other accomplices. Next."

Reporter: "Are any other personnel injured or arrested during this operation? I noticed that the agent next to me seemed to have been injured on his head."

Jimmy: "Thank you for your question. In this operation, our first priority is to solve the case and protect the safety of the public. As for whether there are other injured or arrested persons, I cannot disclose further details at this time because of the case The follow-up investigation is still ongoing. Next.”

Reporter: “Does the suspect belong to a criminal network or terrorist organization?”

Jimmy: "This is an important issue and one that we are focused on. We are conducting in-depth background checks on the suspects to determine if they are part of a criminal network or terrorist organization. However, please understand that these investigations often take time, We’ll try to provide the most up-to-date information possible. Next up.”

Reporter: "You just mentioned your cooperation with other agencies. Can you share how the FBI cooperates in such cases?"

Jimmy: "When it comes to serious crimes and violent incidents, the FBI works closely with various law enforcement agencies. Our collaborators include, but are not limited to, local police departments, state law enforcement agencies, and other federal investigative agencies. In this case, we There was a productive collaboration with the NYPD and other partners. We shared intelligence, resources and expertise, forming a strong team that worked together to track the suspect and keep the public safe. Next up."

Reporter: “In your briefing of the case just now, you only introduced that the gunman was killed at the scene, so can we know who killed the gunman?”

Jimmy: "I know what you want to ask, and yes, it's me. Next."

Reporter: “Can you add the details of your exchange of fire?”

Jimmy: "Sorry, it's not convenient to release some details at the moment. There are many details that are still under follow-up investigation. Let's focus on the case. Next."

Reporter: "Does the FBI have any further plans for this series of cases?"

Jimmy: "Yes, we will continue to pursue all leads in this case to ensure that nothing is missed. We will also work closely with the investigative team and law enforcement agencies to ensure that the case is solved smoothly. The FBI will always be committed to fighting crime conduct to protect the safety of the public.”

……

Similar questions come one after another, which means that Jimmy is already experienced. If he were Jimmy before going to the Public Affairs Office, he would probably be sweating all over the floor by now.

The reporter's questions at first were okay, most of them were related to the case, but later they asked him directly, just like before, hoping that he could disclose some personal information, including some major cases he had handled before.

Jimmy helplessly refused to answer irrelevant questions one by one, which suppressed the reporters' thirst for knowledge. He looked at Isabel next to him, and Isabel nodded. Jimmy looked at the reporters with a smile and said: "Thank you very much, fellow reporters. We will continue to provide you with the latest progress and relevant information of the case. This press conference ends here. Thank you!"

After finishing his concluding remarks, Jimmy raised the microphone, packed up all the documents on the podium, and left the conference room with Isabel and others. After that, the reporters and photographers got up and left.

They got enough news today, and they could even split it up and broadcast it on the news multiple times, which was a big gain.
