Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 219 - 123: Trapped Beast

Nowadays, as time goes on, the popularity of "live bombing attacks" has been rising exponentially. The search for related topics has exceeded one million, and the number of views has surpassed three million, the vast majority of whom are people from the Xia Kingdom who have bypassed internet censorship.

On one hand, Passionfruit was originally an outdoor anchor from the Xia Kingdom; although he has long been banned across the Internet, he still has some influence;

On the other hand, it is morning in North America now; many netizens are either sleeping or working, while the Xia Kingdom is at the evening rush hour. Such a sensational news, spreading rapidly by word of mouth, ferments very quickly.

If it weren't for the barriers of bypassing internet censorship.

The viewership of Tik's live stream would have long exceeded one hundred thousand!

Jamie crossed his arms over his chest and nodded seriously, "From the very beginning, when he chose to report to the police, you could tell this person was very calm. No, to be precise, he had a lot of experience with terrorist attacks."

"Although the government often promotes community anti-terrorism theory learning, it is difficult for ordinary people to judge the authenticity and calmly report the incident in such a short time when facing a bombing, especially when they are personally involved."

Ciri, who was beside him, also nodded in agreement.

From the explosion on the subway to the bomber announcing the rules during the live broadcast, that Xia Kingdom anchor and the black bodyguard were completely bewildered, from fear, and doubt, to escape—this is human instinct.

But the white youth, Baron, chose to report to the police and even when learning that the bomber could remotely hang up his phone, he did not show panic.

It was as if…

"Trained with special professional training!"

Jillian added, "And throughout the whole recording, this Baron deliberately avoided the camera and later switched the video live stream to audio, indicating that he has strong anti-surveillance awareness."

"In the face of police arrest, he was decisive in his escape, calm in confrontation, composed in the process of hostage-taking, and finally deliberately used a lighter to hold off the police force, then changed clothes and took a taxi to escape. He was so skilled that even the police couldn't manage such a quick reaction to such an emergency, right?"

She turned to look at Jamie and Ciri.

The three of them were all senior special agents with the FBI. Before joining the Bureau, they mostly came from police forces or the military, so they certainly understood the capabilities of state police.

But until Jillian quickly played the subsequent recorded video, the three were utterly stunned, as if struck by lightning.

If the previous actions could be attributed to the skill level of state police,

then disarming a bomb, disguising his voice, escaping by car from a police encirclement and under two helicopters' watch - this was beyond the capability of the police, completely at the level of national agents!!

"What's the background of this kid..."

Jillian muttered under her breath, lifting the document, but there was still no information on Baron's identity. By now, it had been over an hour since the incident but they still had not confirmed the suspect's identity, not even a frontal photo, which showed the other party's strong anti-surveillance capabilities.

Yet, she could tell from the blurred black-and-white surveillance photo that Baron was very young, and combined with the voice during the live broadcast, he seemed completely like he was eighteen or nineteen.

If it weren't for the second half of the behavior, perhaps it could be explained with excuses like calm personality, living in a special family of police or criminals.

But just the act of disarming a bomb can't be done simply by personality or environmental influence.

One must know that many professionally trained EOD bomb disposal experts might not even achieve such a skilled and calm demolition performance.

This requires professional and systematic learning.

"So, just from analyzing the case, I feel there's something wrong with this kid, seems like we have another criminal genius on our hands!"

Ciri shook her head, categorizing it as a juvenile high IQ crime.

Although such examples are rare, they do exist, like the inspiration for the movie "The Game of Cat and Mouse," Frank William Abagnale, hailed as the strongest fraudster in the United States, or the ten-year-old serial killer James Bulger.

These famous juvenile criminals have two common points:

Both were born into high-knowledge families;

They experienced dramatic changes in childhood!

Only families with abundant knowledge could cultivate children's high learning ability from a young age until the intense contrast caused by family upheaval pushed them to the extreme of crime.

But Jillian did not engage further, but instead exchanged another glance with Jamie.

After a few seconds of silence, suddenly changing the subject.

"Ciri, as you mentioned, the use of unknown-origin high explosives and detonators in the explosion case is likely the weapons lost in the case of Orlov's murder, we are prepared to take over this case, do I need to contact the headquarters…"

"No need, I received this case from the Immediate Crime Center, and discovering that the details of the case are related to the one you're investigating, I hurriedly applied to the director to transfer it to you guys, as of now, the right to investigate this case is still in the hands of the New York Queens North District Office."

With that, Ciri raised her wrist to glance at the time.

"It's been nearly an hour and a half since the incident, and this event has fermented very seriously online. It's classified as a malignant terrorist attack. According to federal law, the state police should hand over the case to us!"

"Then hurry up and take action, Ciri, please go contact the District Office's Technology Department and the National Cybersecurity Center to track and locate all phones on Baron, and most importantly, find out who is manipulating him, only by threatening the bomber can we free Baron from control!"
