Chapter 828: First visit to Southern State
"So, did they take photos of the scene with a flip phone?" Aubrey sneered. This comes from the unique sense of superiority of big cities over small places in the countryside.
The difference in pixels of the photos on the screen made people feel like they were back in the last century. Alice tried to adjust the overexposed faces of the three deceased people, but with little success.
Jubal also shrugged helplessly. Sheriff's offices in small places have limited resources. In the eyes of old Americans, Arkansas is a remote and remote place with no sense of existence. It is not even as famous as the Chinese Internet in Jack's previous life.
At least on one small station, the number of views on a video of a road stop by an Arkansas state trooper is close to the total population of the state (less than 300 million).
Of course, if we talk about Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, some black people in the United States who have experienced "unhappy education" should have some impressions.
On September 1957, 9, then-U.S. President Eisenhower issued a military order and dispatched 24 transport planes to airlift the 8th Combat Group of the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock and escort 327 black students to school. This is known as the "Little Rock Incident" in history. .
In the eyes of black Americans, this was a landmark event that opened a gap in the apartheid system at that time, but for the federal government at the time, it had another meaning.
As we all know, the United States is a federal country, and the National Guard of each state usually accepts the dual leadership of the state government and the federal government.
At that time, the four traditional southern states, including Arkansas and Alabama, were extremely traditional, and those who prevented black students from going to school were the Arkansas National Guard, who were ordered by the governor to block the schools in the name of ensuring public safety.
At this time, shortly after the end of World War II, black people were bleeding and weeping on the battlefield. In addition, during the Cold War, the United States faced various morally condescending oppressions from another superpower, Aso, whether it was workers or race. There is a lot of pressure on civil rights issues.
Pressure will naturally produce changes. In order to ease domestic conflicts, the federal government had to start to relax on civil rights issues. At that time, the Federal Supreme Court took the lead in declaring racial segregation illegal in public education.
This naturally met with spontaneous resistance from these conservative states in the South, resulting in the National Guard blocking black students from entering schools.
President Eisenhower, who was a soldier at that time, naturally could not allow local governments to challenge the authority of the central government, and directly announced that he had taken over the command of the Arkansas National Guard. This act of federal resumption of local National Guards was called "federalization."
In fact, conflicts between the federal government and local states often occur. In Jack's previous life, the equally restless Texas next door to Arkansas has been in constant friction with the federal government over immigration issues since entering the new century, and eventually the National Guard was dispatched to blockade the United States. Mexican border.
That time was also threatened by the federal government's attempt to "federalize" the Texas National Guard. Combined with a later movie called "Civil War", it was highly hyped until it was picked up by someone who inherited the spicy crispy tradition. The big news coming out of the country one after another has overshadowed the popularity.
Closer to home, although Arkansas has 75 counties, and St. Francis County, where Forrest is located, has a population of only tens of thousands, the fact that the entire District Attorney's Office has been taken over by one person is indeed a big or small thing. No wonder the local Sheriff's Office went directly to the FBI for help.
Jubal continued to press the remote control and played the blurry photos of the scene from beginning to end. Then he looked at everyone, "The shooting happened outside a pool bar. The owner said that the three victims were shot around three in the morning." Order a lot and leave when it's almost closing.
Not long after, he heard gunshots outside. There were no witnesses at the scene, but I heard that a surveillance camera captured the scene. The video has not been sent yet, so we may need to go and deal with it in person. "
Although the photo is a bit blurry, you can still clearly see that all three victims were shot multiple times. It can be said that they were beaten into a sieve, a typical act of vendetta.
"It doesn't look like it was done by professionals, it's a bit too rough." Clay shrugged and expressed his opinion from a professional perspective.
Aubrey analyzed it from a psychological perspective, "It was full of anger. It didn't look like a random killing. The target was very clear, and it was directed at these three lawyers."
Alice directly called up the files of three deceased people in the system, two men and one woman, all white, and they all looked very young, "Catherine Sloan, 26 years old, Pete Hill, 29 years old, Johnny ·Mo, 28 years old.”
Jiejie asked, "So, the only survivor is the district attorney himself? Look at his information."
"Skip Hardy, 52 years old." Alice called up a picture of a black man on the screen.
"It's interesting that in this conservative southern state where more than 7% of the people are white, the district attorney is actually a black man." Jack said what everyone was thinking.
"Although it is indeed the core vote base of the Elephant Party, it is no longer the past after all. The Donkey Party also has considerable power in Arkansas today. Don't forget that a certain famous presidential couple came from there."
Of course Jubal was talking about the Zipperton couple. Although Arkansas does not have much presence in the old United States, it has produced two famous figures in history.
One is the five-star general McHather who especially likes to comment on various things on the Chinese Internet in Jack's previous life. The other is Jack's idol in a certain field, His Excellency President Zipperton.
Coincidentally, the governor of Arkansas who triggered the "Little Rock Incident" was also a Donkey Party. At that time, the Donkey Party (Democratic Party) and the Elephant Party (Republican Party) were exactly the opposite of what they are today. The Donkey Party was more conservative, while the Elephant Party was more conservative. It tends to be radical.
Nowadays, everyone in the wanted group is getting closer and more like a family. They have less worries about talking behind closed doors, and it doesn't hurt to talk about politics occasionally.
The business jet prepared by the FBI's New York office for the wanted criminal team is a Cessna CJ2, which is nearly half the size of the BAU's Gulfstream G650 and focuses on cost-effectiveness.
Although it was a little shabby, it was still a chartered flight anyway, which strengthened the team's determination to work hard. After all, it was not easy for such a small plane to fit 7 people, so there was no need to think about setting up a mahjong table.
Jubal stepped off the plane, twisted his sore waist with difficulty, and began to order his troops. "Jiejie and I will go visit the surviving prosecutor Skip Hardy. Everyone else will go to the scene to search for Any clues that might exist.
After careful investigation of witnesses, surveillance video, and the background of the victim, we are currently unable to determine whether the murderer will continue his killing spree, so please be safe. "
Jack also reminded in turn, "If you rule out prosecutor Skip Hardy as a suspect, you should also ask him to pay attention to the security around him. He is likely to be the next target."
"I would advise him to stay in the court as much as possible." Jubal nodded to express his understanding.
Then everyone split up and the FBI Little Rock office sent three official vehicles, an old GMC pickup truck and two GMC "Business Star" SUVs that were also some years old.
Jack and Clay loaded all the equipment they brought into the pickup truck and drove the pickup truck and a "Business Star" to the pool bar where the accident occurred.
