Chapter 137 Trust
Colonel?

Was the bombing related to the military?

No wonder Gillian was so surprised when she heard the name "Sawa". A colonel is already a great leader. According to the US military rank system, one level up is a brigadier general. In an important position, the power may be very large.

Military, Arms, Terrorists, Volut...

Gu Ji connected one information point after another, as if he was about to find out the truth of the matter.

At this time, Gillian and Jamie also followed from behind.

Gillian couldn't help showing embarrassment when she learned that the female thug required "Sawar Mittal" to be present.

Fortunately, after a while, good news came from the first and second teams of HRT.

The thugs who fled into the mall were killed, and the sniper was captured alive by the second team. The suspect used a Mk-13 sniper rifle and fired .300 Winchester Magnum bullets. No wonder he was able to hit his head with one shot. into blood mist.

When Gu Ji heard that the sniper was shot dead, he pursed his lips.

"In this situation, the colonel must come forward to stabilize the female thug. Her accomplices have been shot one after another, and the negotiator is also dead. Now there is no one to communicate. The other party may panic and detonate the bomb at any time. I will go first. Drag it, and take a look at the bomb structure by the way!"

"and many more……"

Gillian wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Gu Ji had already stood up to attract the attention of the female thug. She could only take off Jamie's tactical earphone and handed it to Gu Ji, "Listen to my orders at any time!"

Gu nodded at a few o'clock, took the earphones, and walked towards the BMW X5 where the female thug was.

Looking at his back, Gillian pressed the intercom:
"Command center! I'm Gillian. The situation at the scene is basically under control, but the thugs kidnapped Colonel Saawa's son and demanded that the colonel must come to the scene in person. Yes, what? The colonel has already left the Quantico base..."

at the same time.

Gu Ji walked out slowly from behind the explosion-proof vehicle, and first spread his palms to indicate that he was not threatening.

Inside the trunk.

On the right is a young Caucasian man in a dark blue suit with a brown back and 20kg of C4 high-explosive explosives tied to his body by a wire rope. Trembling uncontrollably, it was the fund manager, Lauder.

And beside him is a 27-year-old woman in gray-green casual clothes, brown skin, and three-dimensional features. It is the female thug who was injured by Gu Ji before.

Blood oozing from the wound has stained her entire shoulder red.

The pain and excessive blood loss made her look haggard, but even so, she still did not give up the detonator in her left hand, and kept staring fiercely at her surroundings, like a female leopard ready to go all out at any time.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you."

Gu Ji pulled out the pistol at his waist, pointed the muzzle out, and slowly put it on the ground, then grabbed his trouser pocket to show that there was no weapon in it.

Afterwards, he began to slowly approach the female thug, secretly sizing up the detonator in the opponent's hand, and calculated the possibility of various close-range attacks, but he vetoed them all.

Because the female thug's thumb is always pre-pressed on the button.

The detonator is directly connected to the bomb circuit board through the wire, which means that it does not have any signal delay.

Unless Gu Ji can kill the opponent at a speed that exceeds the limit of human reaction, otherwise, at any chance, the female thug will immediately press the detonator, and then everyone within 300 meters will GG!

"We have contacted Colonel Saawa according to your request. He will be there soon, but your injury is very serious. If you want, I can let the emergency personnel treat the wound for you!"

"Aren't you responsible for all my injuries? Saffron Barron!"

Just when he was trying to use the wound treatment to distract the female thug's attention, he didn't expect that the other party suddenly grinned, showing a very weird smile, like a predator seeing a prey.

Gu Ji's eyelids twitched.

The female thug slightly lowered her left hand holding the detonator.

"I thought you were just a trash bastard, but I didn't expect you to hide so many skills. Could it be that you learned it from your father in the Marine Corps?"

"It turns out you're 'Art Needs Cruelty.'"

Gu Ji always felt that the second half of the sentence seemed familiar. He recalled it carefully, and then remembered that the bomber had also posted similar bullet screens in the live broadcast room.

Now it seems that the bomber's performance in the live broadcast is very emotional, and it is indeed more like a woman.

Because the limbic system of the female brain is larger and more active, and the limbic system is the center that mainly regulates emotions, the inferior parietal lobe of males is larger, which controls computing power, which proves that men are more rational and women are more affected by emotions .

Could it be that she is the main messenger of the bombing?
There were a total of six soldiers in the group photo, watching the terrorists being shot dead by the HRT special police one by one, except for the last one who did not show up, only the female thug in front of him was left.

Identifying the mastermind isn't just about completing side quests.

It is more related to Gu Ji's next negotiation direction.

As the mastermind of the case, he would certainly not be as easily persuaded as the accomplice.

Perhaps the female thug had already had a death mentality in her heart, and she detonated the bomb when Colonel Sawa arrived at the scene.

The female thug made no quibbles.

"You are very clever."

"If I wasn't smart, I wouldn't be able to live now, and it would be impossible for you to cause such a big sensation. Now that your goal has been achieved, the media all over the world are rushing to report the news of the bombing. Maybe we can talk about it calmly. Let's talk."

Gu Ji borrowed the way of the negotiator just now, trying to guide the female thug to speak.

On the one hand, it can delay time, on the other hand, it is to take the opportunity to obtain some information behind the case.

The female thug lowered her head and pursed her lips, and even laughed out loud, her eyes were somewhat ferocious.

"Hehehe, talk about it? What's there to talk about?"

"Don't be nervous, just talk casually, you can talk about anything you want, your name, your wish, your friends, or your family..."

When Gu Ji mentioned the word "family", the female thug's pupils shrank obviously, so he struck while the iron was hot.

"I don't know if your family will see the news of the bombing now..."

"No, they're all gone."

The female thug's expression was dark, her eyes were full of sadness, but it quickly turned into anger, and she clenched the detonator in her hand, scaring Lauder next to her almost to death.

She is revenge for her family...

So, the other thugs are for teammates?
Gu Ji thought for a while, then suddenly said:
"Is that the one in the photo?"

"What picture?"

"It's the photo I found in the taxi. If you don't mind, I can take it out, do you agree? Then I'll take it now..."

Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Gu Ji slowly put his hand into his trouser pocket, first exposed the corner of the phone, indicating that it was not a weapon, then slowly took out the phone, drew out the photo of the army, and showed it in front of the female thug.

The moment she saw the photo, the female thug finally couldn't help it.

She was trembling all over, and tears rolled in her eyes, which were wet and red.

It turned out that the last person in the photo was dead.

Gu Ji felt as if he had grasped the key.

"Is he your brother? How is your brother..."

"This has nothing to do with you! Why hasn't Saawa appeared! Let this treacherous old fox come over immediately!! I will wait for him for another 10 minutes, and when the time is over, I will detonate the bomb immediately, and then let him taste the loss The pain of a loved one!"

"Hey! Hey! Don't get excited! The Colonel will be here."

Gu Ji stretched out his hand to appease the female thug, when Gillian's voice came from the tactical earphone, "Colonel Sahwa rushed to New York on UH-1Y an hour ago, and it is estimated that there are still 10 minutes left." Arriving at the scene, we are communicating with the pilot, Jamie, check the identity of Pegg's family immediately..."

Leave an hour ago?

How could he know in advance that his son was kidnapped?

However, the aircraft model gave Gu a few answers. The full name of UH-1Y is UH-1Y Venom Helicopter, also known as Super Huey.

Then Saawa is most likely to be the colonel of the Marine Corps.

Combined with the identity of the mob.

It must not be easy to prove the relationship between the two parties.

Like "Barron", Lauder's phone should have been monitored by terrorists long ago, and Saawa couldn't get in touch, so he rushed over by helicopter in advance.

"Just received the news that the colonel is on his way to board the plane and will arrive soon."

After Gu Ji uttered these words, Lauder's originally terrified eyes instantly burst into a light of survival.

He chose to ignore it, and continued: "We are just chatting, you don't have to be so hostile to me, besides, in the Volut R&D center, you said that if I dismantle your bomb, you will answer my question, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten, what do you want to ask?"

"Why on earth did Volut's security kill me as soon as we met?"

The female thug's complexion changed several times, and finally she suppressed the anger in her heart, and said word by word, as if making a statement of the case:

"Actually, what you analyzed in the live broadcast was not wrong. The Volut New York branch has been secretly participating in the modification of arms and selling them to illegal organizations. We failed to sneak in for the first time in disguise, and finally broke out of the encirclement, so..."

I became a scapegoat?

Gu Ji frowned on the surface, but he had the direction of negotiation and attack in his heart.

"So your purpose is to combat the illegal arms trade? What does that have to do with me, Passion Fruit, and Dizard? Why do you have to involve us?"

"You all think you are innocent? I saw a grandma fainted by the spoof of the anchor, fell to the ground and bled, and is still lying in the hospital, and how much did you and that black man do on the streets of Queens? Do you still need me to tell you about the evil deeds of stealing?"

"What about the spectators at the U.S. Open? They are also guilty? There is also the security guard in the underground parking lot who was shot dead by you, the tourists in Times Square, the special police of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, and Lauder and Sahel beside you. watt……"

"enough!!"

The female thug who had been choked speechless suddenly roared. She stared at the bloodshot eyes and smashed the detonator into the hostage Lauder's face.

"Their father and son are the most damned! If it wasn't for Saawa to fill up the huge hedge fund's huge deficit for his useless son, and cover the illegal arms dealer's transaction..."

When they heard the second half of the sentence, many special police officers, FBI agents, and policemen present all stared in surprise.

It seems unexpected that this terrorist bombing attack also involved a military scandal.

Just when Gu Ji was about to sort out the clues.

There was a sudden propeller vibration in the sky behind him.

He glanced sideways.

It was a gray-green medium-sized helicopter, carrying an M240D general-purpose machine gun, and slowly landed in front of the intersection in Times Square.

next moment.

The delivery hatch opened, and seven or eight marines dressed in yellow dead leaf camouflage and armed with black M4 rifles jumped down instantly and quickly approached the scene of the terrorist attack.

But Gu Ji didn't see any colonel-level officers appearing.

After seeing the army soldiers, Lauder yelled as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw: "Dad! Help me! Dad——!"

"Shut up! Sawa! Get out of here now! I want you to apologize to my brother and the dead soldiers in person, and publicly admit the crimes you have committed!"

The female thug shouted at the top of her voice, the veins on the back of her hand holding the detonator were bulging, her knuckles were turning white, and her four fingertips were firmly stuck into the palm of her hand, which showed how angry she was.

In Gu Ji's tactical headset, Gillian was also trying to contact the helicopter console.

About three or four seconds passed.

The radio station finally responded. The voice was that of a middle-aged man, with an unquestionable majesty:

"I am Colonel Sahwa of the MAGTF Land and Air Task Force at Quantico Base of the Marine Corps. I am under the command of the CE command to carry out anti-terrorist operations. The target is 5 defected marines at the Quantico camp. The FBI and NYPD are in charge. Cooperate……"

A murmur followed.

It is estimated that Saawa switched the military internal channel.

Gillian then yelled into the tactical headset:
"Barron, the military has decided to set up snipers to shoot the target and rescue the hostages. Is the IED bomb detonation environment in the car suitable for sniping? If so, take a step back with your right foot."

After hearing the order, Gu Ji didn't move his right foot.

It wasn't that he felt sorry for the female thug, but that the sniping environment was indeed too bad.

It has to be said that the female thug chose to take the hostages in the trunk of the car was really subtle. Under the cover of the half-open rear door, her whole picture can only be seen clearly within ten meters, and her head cannot be seen ten meters away. department.

If the sniper can't shoot the head with one shot.

There is always still the risk of the suspect detonating the bomb by pinching the detonator.

"Let Sayawa get over here immediately!"

"Don't get excited. Since you said that the colonel is involved in the illegal arms trade, you can report it to your superiors or the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. The law will naturally punish them severely. There is no need to use this extreme situation!"

While Gu Ji opened his mouth to delay time, his left hand naturally dropped, quietly hid behind him, and shook twice.

"Report? My brother was assassinated by them because of the report. Who else can I trust? When you were kidnapped by us and fled all over the city, did the New York police believe your words?"

The female thug didn't take this at all, but became more and more emotional.

"Barron, the military has notified the sniper to be in position, and approved a one-shot kill! Barron, what does your gesture mean, not the head shot, but the left arm holding the detonator? Colonel, colonel, the on-site personnel assess After the IED bomb situation, it was thought to hit the arm..."

"One shot kill!"

"Colonel..."

"Now I am the commander of the on-site armed operations, follow my orders and get your people out of the way immediately!"

In just a moment, Gu Ji's tactical earphones repeated N orders in a hurry, and the female thug in front of him became more and more emotional, and the pressure from many sides almost made him go crazy.

"Colonel! The sight of the sniper is blocked, and the chances of killing him with one shot are not very high. Hitting the arm seems to be a better choice..."

"I said it! Kill with one shot!"

"Barron, get out of the way quickly, so as not to be accidentally injured!"

"Tell Saawa to come over and apologize immediately, and admit the crime, or I will blow up his son immediately!"

"Dad, save me!"

"Sniper, shoot!"

"Colonel, sight..."

"shot!!"

boom--!
Sawa, the military sniper, Gillian, Lauder, and the female thug, the five of them shouted louder and louder in the tactical headset, and each sentence became more urgent, until the moment when the emotions of all parties broke out to the extreme, the gunshot .

The blood mist exploded.

The wrist of the female thug was interrupted on the spot by a powerful sniper bullet!

Pretty!

Gu Ji used his feet in vain, and rushed towards the female thug. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, so that he had rehearsed it countless times in his heart, and the speed was as fast as a ghost.

At the moment of contact, his hands were like pliers, and he grabbed and clasped his five fingers, but he heard the sound of "ah", and stopped the female thug who was about to grab the detonator with his injured left arm!
"Block the signal immediately!!"

The special police of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau who were guarding nearby reacted quickly. When Gu Ji yelled for the first time, they rushed forward with guns and restrained the female thug on the spot. The EOD bomb disposal team also established signal shielding immediately. .

[Sub-line objective: Find and solve the mastermind behind the bombing! 】

The female thug twisted her body desperately, but she couldn't resist the force of several special police officers. Her head was pressed to the ground, and she could only shout hysterically:

"Fack! Saawa! Your whole family will go to hell! To hell!"

"Dad! Save me! Save me!"

On the complete opposite, it was Lauder's cry of joy.

Just as Gu Ji was about to step forward to check the bomb circuit board, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind, and subconsciously swayed to the left, avoiding the grabbing.

When he looked back, he saw a middle-aged officer wearing a leaf camouflage training uniform.

At the age of 50, with brown hair, except for a slightly higher hairline, his facial features are very similar to Lauder.

Colonel Saawa!
Seeing that he didn't catch Gu Ji's collar, Sahwa immediately pulled out the pistol at his waist, pointed at his head and shouted angrily:
"Which department do you belong to? Who gave you the courage to obstruct the military's actions!"

"Colonel, I have never hindered any action. I just tried my best to avoid the sacrifice of hostages and police officers. The suspect held the detonator in his left hand. Under the premise that the head's vision is blocked, hitting the arm is the best solution."

Speaking of this, Gu Ji deliberately paused, looking directly at Sawa.

"But you have always wanted to shoot the suspect. Is it to kill the suspect?"

"Fack! You..."

"Colonel! This is an important witness for our FBI! Please don't make mistakes!"

Gillian on the side hurried over, fearing that Saawa would kill Gu Ji on the spot if she got excited, so she even used some threats in her words.

Saywa's face turned blue and red, apparently overwhelmed by Gu Ji.

But with so many police officers around, he didn't dare to attack.

"Get my son out immediately, if he is a little injured, I will definitely call your boss's house!"

"Don't worry, Colonel!"

Gillian called the bomb disposal team, and after removing the bomb circuit case, Gu Ji also took a look.

Sure enough, as the HRT bomb disposal experts said, it was an integrated circuit.

This is the most complicated type of bomb circuit board. One end of the four red and blue wires is connected to the 12V power supply, and the other end is connected to the detonator. 1Ω resistor, a 3Ω R10 resistor.

In addition, there are two 10uF and one 1000uF capacitors, and the end is a transistor and an electronic detonator.

The most complex heart of this integrated circuit is the central operational amplifier.

When the non-inverting input voltage is lower than the inverting input voltage, the operational amplifier will only output a very low voltage, which is not enough to detonate the detonator, otherwise it will output a large voltage to detonate the detonator.

Resistors of different sizes are used to adjust the voltage value everywhere in the circuit.

The diode only allows current to flow in one direction, and the large capacitor is discharged when the external power source is lost.

That's right.

That is to say, no matter cutting the detonator or any one of the four red and blue wires, the 12V power supply will be cut off, prompting the large capacitor to discharge and detonate the detonator.

The difficulty lies in:
How to find out the correct line to cut off can not only avoid 12V power supply, but also avoid large capacitors.

Fortunately, there was external help in the last level, and the thugs were eliminated before the IED timing mechanism was triggered. Otherwise, Gu Jidan would not be able to dismantle the bomb within 5 minutes based on his current knowledge of EOD.

HRT bomb disposal experts also checked the integrated circuit, and thought that the risk of bomb disposal was too great, and the transfer and destruction was the main method, so they touched all the wire ropes with their fingers to confirm that there were no hidden lines, pressure sense, touch sense, etc. The EOD bomb squad snipped one by one.

After successfully removing the bomb from Lauder.

This guy was as excited as the Monkey King who had just escaped from Wuzhishan, running away from the black X5.

The explosives were transported by the bomb robot to the EOD pit arranged by EOD with sandbags, and the professional explosive destroyer was used for demolition.

This is what Gu Ji reminded Gillian early in the morning.

The so-called explosives destroyer is a water cannon gun, which mainly uses high-speed water flow to disintegrate explosive devices at close range. It also sprays water bombs through the detonation mechanism. The high-speed water flow can reach 800 m/s at the fastest, and it will directly shatter the explosion within one meter. As long as the appearance of explosives is not too hard, they can be directly decomposed.

Accompanied by a "bang".

The 20-kilogram C4 high explosive was instantly torn apart by the water bomb.

[Ultimate goal: completely resolve the live broadcast bomb crisis, and control the number of casualties to less than 15 successfully! 】

[Open the hidden target: Find the reason behind the bombing! 】

In fact, Gu Ji already had a general understanding of the bombing case until now.

This group of thugs are all members of the Marine Corps, and they may even be Saawa’s direct subordinates. Because the fund managed by Lauder has suffered a huge deficit, most of them have done bad things. Saawa has no choice but to collude with arms dealers. Modified weapons are sold to illegal terrorist organizations.

Several people found out and reported to no avail. Instead, they were bitten back by Saawa as "defectors" and were hunted down by the military.

The death of Pegg was the trigger for their decision to take revenge.

It's a pity that Saawa has been living in the military base and has no way to do it.

So they could only shift their target to his son, attacked the arms dealer with the mysterious computer, obtained the computer, explosives, and weapons, and then ran to New York to set up a spot, ambush, threaten, and create today's series of terrorist bombings.

Gu Ji took out his phone.

After the EOD bomb disposal team unlocked the signal shield, they began to check the recent scandals of the Marine Corps.

It turned out to be one:
"On August 8, six Marines in Camp Quantico, Virginia, were arrested by the military on suspicion of drug and arms smuggling at sea. One of them was shot dead on the spot, and the remaining five are still at large."

Just when Gu Ji was fascinated by it.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated, it was a new email.

He planned to skip it, but the words "the answer you want" in the title suddenly aroused his curiosity.

Click to take a look.

The first is a vague recording, to the effect that several soldiers were performing tasks on the coast and encountered a logistics merchant ship suspected of smuggling transactions, and the two sides exchanged fire.

After locking the evidence, the captain reported to his superiors.

And the voice of this boss is exactly Saawa.

"As I guessed..."

When Gu Ji continued to browse down, he was instantly startled by the various evidences on the screen. Putting aside Volut's suspicion of illegally selling robots, he entrusted PM to secretly transform arms.

2021～2024年，海军陆战队匡提科基地因管理不善，总计丢失2179支自动步枪、3694支手枪、174挺机枪、236个榴弹发射器、134个火箭弹发射筒、75门迫击炮和200支霰弹枪，以及上千公斤的C4高爆炸药被盗。

There are countless equipment such as bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, night vision goggles, and gas masks.

The reasons for the theft of weapons can be described as varied, such as the custodian eating out, the door was not locked, the guard dozed off, the monitoring equipment malfunctioned, and so on.

Actually.

These are all the ghosts of Sahwa and several logistics executives. They are sold to illegal terrorist organizations around the world through arms dealers at a higher price. Among them, South American drug lords and terrorist organizations are the most, with a total value of 2.3 million U.S. dollars.

Good guy.

Steal your own things to feed the enemy!

No wonder the female thug said that the matter was far more serious than I imagined. No wonder Sahwa would rather kill 6 of his men than cover up the illegal transaction.

This crime is too serious, is it considered treason?

[Hidden target: Find the reason behind the bombing completed! 】

【Statistics in progress! 】

While Gu Ji was hesitating, the Times Square in front of him was gradually covered by a layer of black smoke, and a desolate BGM sounded.

But he didn't fully expect the reward to be settled.

Instead, a question arises:
Six members of the Marine Corps, the captain died, five members, four dead and one injured, even the captain's sister was just subdued.

Then the last email evidence.

Who sent it?

　I finally survived the most uncomfortable first three days, and now I just have a cracking throat and a cough, but the rest is almost healed. The experience I can pass on to everyone is to drink more water, drink more water, and be sure to drink more water!
