Even when shaking hands with the director of the New York Police Department, Gao Yang didn't mean to take off his sunglasses.
After a burst of meaningless compliments and greetings, when the director motioned to Gao Yang to sit down, he immediately turned to a serious expression and said with a serious face: "Mr. Gao, now we can confirm that the incident last night was a premeditated terrorist attack. Among the four suspects, one is Ayman Nasser. He is an Iraqi immigrant. Just before the attack, he announced his loyalty to AIS on Facebook."
Hearing the familiar name of ACE, Gao Yang couldn't help wiping his face with his hand.
"The other, Daud Ahmed, is also from Iraq. This person has been acting normally. However, after the FBI searched his home last night, it found a large number of raw materials for making bombs and information records of contact with three other terrorists, but we did not find any trace of contact with overseas terrorists."
After a brief introduction, the director said solemnly: "The results of the preliminary investigation show that these four people intend to launch a large-scale terrorist attack in New York, but at present, only Ayman Hassel has unilaterally announced his loyalty to AIS, but no organization has claimed responsibility for the incident. Therefore, we can't confirm whether this is an isolated attack or a prelude to a large-scale attack."
Gao Yang nodded and didn't say anything, because he was just informing him about the situation, not asking for his opinions.
The director sighed and said in a low voice, "because it is not possible to confirm whether the terrorist who was killed has any accomplices, Mr. Gao, your situation is still relatively dangerous. The police suggest to provide you with witness protection. You'd better reduce your activities temporarily before confirming your safety."
Gao Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Secretary, I don't need protection. Frankly speaking, I think I can protect myself. As long as I have a gun, well, of course, I'm a law-abiding person, so I won't take a gun to the streets. But as long as I'm at home, I don't worry about terrorists coming to me for revenge. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't stay in New York all the time. I may go to Hughes Don, where can I legally take a gun to the street? "
The director waved his hand and said with a smile, "indeed, your hand has surprised me so far. In addition, I am also a member of IPSC and often participate in three gun shooting competitions. Well, I think you will be safer if you have the protection of the police."
Gao Yang shook his head and smiled, "sorry, it will make me feel very uncomfortable. Mr. director, there is no need to waste valuable police force on me."
The director nodded, and then he smiled: "Mr. Gao, this matter is still under investigation. We are still very busy. When the investigation of this matter is over, I would like to award you the medal of honor, the highest level medal. This medal is awarded to police officers. In extreme emergencies, police officers who devote themselves to their duties and show extreme personal courage will also be awarded in special cases when they know there is danger However, for a brave individual, whether a policeman or not, I think you fully deserve this medal. In addition, I would like to invite you to become an honorary policeman of the New York City Police Department, a lifelong honorary policeman. "
After finishing with a smile, the director shrugged and said with a smile: "of course, a press conference may be held at the same time when this ceremony is held, so it can only be done after confirming that there is no subsequent danger, and this requires your consent. Therefore, I sincerely request you to accept this medal and become our honorary police."
Gao Yang said sincerely, "I'm very honored to get these awards, but I'm not ready to become a public figure. I'm worried that my life will be affected, so please allow me to think about it?"
The director smiled: "Of course, I understand your mood very much. You can think about it slowly. In addition, I have something to tell you. The mayor also plans to award you a medal. Please think about it together. There are many media who want to interview you. Because you are applicable to the witness protection regulations, the police have not disclosed any personal information about you, so it is very multimedia On me, without your consent and the permission of the FBI, they can't make more reports and introductions to you, but if you are willing to be interviewed, it's no problem. "
"What media are there?" he said in a loud voice
The director waved his hand and said with a smile, "all the media you know, including the foreign media you haven't heard of, you can make a national speech tour if you like."
What is influence? It's called influence.
Gao Yang sighed again in his heart and whispered, "I'll think about it seriously."
The director stood up, stretched out his hand to Gao Yang, smiled and said, "I know your voice is uncomfortable and can't talk too much. We'll have a good chat after your voice recovers. Finally, thank you again for your bravery."
After saying goodbye to the director, with countless invitations, Gao Yang left the police station and immediately called Murphy.
When Murphy got through, Gao Yang hurriedly said, "man, I've considered it. I'm willing to cooperate with you. Now I think we'd better have an interview."
Murphy immediately said with a smile, "very good. Well, let's meet immediately. It's just according to the FBI's work process. We still need to meet you today. Let's meet through open and formal channels. Well, come to the FBI headquarters and I'll send someone to pick you up."
Gao Yang didn't get on the bus at all. It wasn't long before the FBI drove him to federal square, the headquarters of the FBI branch in New York.
Murphy's office is very big and magnificent. When Gao Yang sat down, he looked around and exclaimed, "your place is good. In addition, can you say anything?"
Murphy opened his arms and laughed loudly, "there's no safer place than here. You can say anything you want."
Gao Yang immediately clapped his hands, and then said eagerly, "OK, man, first solve the problems in front of me and tell me what to do so that I can't be exposed to the public after I'm on TV."
Murphy waved, "don't worry about this. I have mature plans and rich experience to help you get rid of your troubles and ensure that you on TV and you are two people, so now let's talk about business first."
