Hotchner had a cast on his arm and looked gray and gray. If Rhett hadn't sent him an emergency kit and asked him to change his clothes, everyone might still be able to see the bandage on his thigh.

Jack's image was not much better than his. His suit jacket was covered in dust, and his whole body smelled of gun smoke. He even looked even more embarrassed than Hotchner because he hadn't changed his clothes.

"Is Joyna okay?" Although he knew it, Jack still wanted to be concerned.

Hotchner looked a little weird, "She is still in the operating room, but the doctor said it is not life-threatening, but the injuries on her face will cause some trouble in the future."

At that time, someone rushed over to save people and was so anxious that he didn't pay attention. But in retrospect, Hotchner's posture when he was kneeling next to Joyner at that time did not look like he was giving artificial respiration.

After all, when Jack arrived, Joyner was in a coma but did not need cardiopulmonary resuscitation, so after eliminating all impossible options, there seemed to be only one answer.

Most likely, Joyner thought she was dying, so she said something, causing Hotchner to lower his head and kiss her, and then fell into a coma as she wished.

It seems that we need to go back and ask Garcia for a copy of the live video at that time. The best Eagle Eye camera from that angle should have captured something.

At this time, emergency news from various channels were playing on the screens in the operations center and conference room, and images of Central Park shot from a helicopter perspective were constantly circulating.

There were also reporters who were not afraid of death and rushed into the scene wearing safety helmets, using the scene of firefighters putting out the fire as the backdrop for the live news.

Jack has been looking around since he sat in the small conference room. He couldn't help but think wildly and tried to divert his attention, but with little success.

The perfumes of Hannah and Jie Jie next to me smell great, Emily has a really good figure, the female boss still has her charm, and Garcia’s chubby look is so cute, ugh

After pinching his thigh hard, the severe pain finally drove those messy thoughts out of his brain, and then Rossi's voice reached his ears again.

".So, the real purpose of 'Dark Jihad' is not to create consecutive attacks with multiple targets like the London bombings, but a single-target bombing with expected casualties no less than '911'. For this, they have prepared... Well... Not less than 1.5 tons of C4 and chromate explosives."

"This is my rough estimate based on the power of the explosion. In addition to C4, they also used chromates, various peroxides, perchlorates, chlorates, and mercurochrome to increase the power." Reid touched it. The stubble on his chin added.

"Maybe they thought that the amount of C4 they had was not enough to completely destroy the entire hospital building, so they added these additional materials. According to the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), they already have some clues."

"So where's the source of C4?" Jack was used to second-guessing things. He was curious about where the Durange drug cartel got so many military explosives from, and wouldn't it have anything to do with the CIA.

"According to previous intelligence, the C4 in the hands of the Durange drug cartel was leaked from the Bolivian military. After Anthony Vargas was arrested, he never explained their smuggling channels.

According to the intelligence just provided by some departments, they may have transported C4 into the country mixed with cocaine. "Dana Moger's expression was very subtle.

Jack was speechless. It was common to smuggle drugs mixed with other things. This was the first time he had heard of C4 mixed with cocaine for smuggling.

"Some people think they have control of the rules of the game and can do whatever they want, and they will pay the price this time." There is something in Rossi's words.

So it's not that no one knows about the drug smuggling channels of the Durange drug cartel, but there's something else hidden. I don't know if it's the CIA or the DEA. Anyway, these two are the most suspect.

The scene this time is a bit exaggerated. Some department must be held responsible for this, and it must be thanks to the FBI New York office. Otherwise, the consequences will not only be the addition of a new artificial lake (pond?) to Central Park.

Even so, the economic losses caused by this big explosion were not low. First of all, nearly a quarter of Central Park was severely damaged, and some statues and rare plants with considerable cultural value were severely damaged.

According to the virtues of the United States, it will be difficult to restore it to its original state within a few years without spending tens of millions or hundreds of millions of funds.

In addition, some surrounding buildings were also damaged by the shock wave. Central Park is a long and narrow shape, 4 kilometers long from north to south, but only 0.8 kilometers wide from east to west, and the east and west sides are covered with various buildings of historical significance.

There was a report in the news just now that a window of an apartment about 1.3 kilometers away from Central Park was smashed by a wheel hub, and a young couple in the bedroom suffered a big shock.

In addition, as usual, huge explosions have also caused riots in some areas with poor security. There have been many gun battles between overly "enthusiastic" black-skinned neighbors and the NYPD who maintain law and order.

You will probably hear a black aunt speaking with a RAP accent on the news tomorrow defending her son.

Such as "He is a happy nut in the community, a warm-hearted neighbor"

"If you get to know him, you will find that he is a good man, a good husband, a good father, a good friend, he is a caring person who will do anything for you, although we do not know why he would do it, But he doesn't deserve to be treated like this and we need the truth."

And so on.

In short, the NYPD will be very busy tonight. After the explosions that resound throughout the city, there may be sirens that last all night.

"So, who is in St. Buckley's Hospital? Who is it that requires the USSS (Secret Service) to be dispatched for protection, and causes the entire hospital to become the target of the 'Dark Jihad'?" Jiejie asked.

As an eyewitness, Hotchner knew the ins and outs of the incident best, but at that time Jack and Joey Reacher communicated through a walkie-talkie. He only heard Jack's questions but not the other party's answers.

"The President of Bolivia." Jack revealed the final answer, "According to Rossi's previous intelligence, the only thing that hinders the extradition of Anthony Vargas is the power of the president of this country.

Therefore, the target of the Durange drug cartel has always been the President of Bolivia who came to the United States for heart surgery. They blew up the entire hospital and turned the whole thing into a terrorist attack that shocked the world. In the end, the 'Dark Jihad' was responsible.

In such a big incident, no one would doubt that the president would be turned into collateral damage. It has to be said that the guy who planned this incident had a genius-like brain.

The Durango drug cartel provides money and goods, and the 'Dark Jihad' makes a name for himself. Both parties get what they need. This guy's imagination is quite unconstrained. "

"So we were completely fooled by them." Emily was a little angry.

"Everything that happened before was an act, the random shooting of eight innocent passers-by on the street, the hacking of the NYPD system, the car bomb attack on Hotchner and Joyner, all of this was a cover.

The ultimate goal is to rescue Anthony Vargas through a terrorist attack, and damn, who would have thought that. "

Rhett still analyzed from the most rational and objective perspective, "So our profile was always wrong. Fortunately, the other party made a superfluous move and staged a scene where the murderer committed suicide at the hands of the police.

Otherwise, we would not be able to connect those early shootings with terrorism, let alone respond in advance. "

Hotchner continued, "Thanks to Jack, if he hadn't been alert enough, you would probably be looking for my and Kate's bodies in the ruins now, and even until the end you would not be able to connect the entire incident with the Durange drug cartel.

Because in the end, all the clues will be reversed, and everything will point to a long-planned terrorist attack, not an assassination operation. "

"But without your profile, we wouldn't be able to stop this in the end." The female boss smiled.

"St. Buckley's Hospital is a general hospital with a main building as high as 22 stories. If that truck of explosives exploded underground, it would be the most serious terrorist attack in New York after 911/.

So thank you to everyone in the Behavioral Analysis Division for your assistance, and of course our heroic and fearless Agent Jack Tavole. Without you, thousands of families in New York would be in pain and despair tonight. "

"Although, but." Rosie was a little dissatisfied with the tone of her old lover, "Strictly speaking, Jack is still a member of our BAU."

"Yes, yes." Dana Moger chuckled and took his arm, as gently as she was coaxing a child, "Why don't we go out for a drink? It's a bit too exciting tonight, isn't it?"
