Chapter 223 Explosion! the first lady!
The paparazzi outside the Manhattan Hotel are sitting bored waiting for the banquet to end.
Boom! !
Right at this moment, a sudden explosion startled them all, and one of the paparazzi even spilled coffee all over himself.
Looking up and seeing the billowing smoke rising from the upper floors of the building, the paparazzi and passers-by were dumbfounded.
After thinking about an incident that happened a few years ago, passers-by shouted and fled.
The paparazzi, whose body was covered with coffee, shook suddenly, raised the camera and rushed towards the gate of the Hilton Hotel.
It was just an explosion, the building hasn't collapsed yet! First-hand news is the most important!
The paparazzi also reacted when they saw this, and hurriedly picked up the camera and rushed towards the building. The security guard of the building who was also startled hurriedly reached out to stop it, and the scene was in chaos.
Upstairs, the banquet hall.
The sudden explosion also scared everyone to hide on the ground, and the ground was also covered with shattered glass.
Fortunately, the place where the explosion happened was not this banquet hall, but a higher floor upstairs.
So there are only some scratched people who dodged improperly, and unlucky people who were injured by falling objects.
"Everyone! Get out of here immediately!"
After the explosion, the feeling of burning buttocks disappeared instantly. Roan immediately got out from the bottom of the table and shouted:
"Get out of the stairs quickly! It's dangerous here!"
"That's right! That's right!"
"Quickly exit this building!"
"Women go first!"
"Everyone, don't panic! Leave in an orderly manner!"
After all, everyone at the scene was the leaders of various departments within the FBI, and immediately began to leave the banquet hall in an orderly manner after reacting.
Roan overturned the dining table, first pulled Vernis up, and then reached out to the deputy director and Trick Kennedy:
"Both officers, are you okay?"
"fine!"
"We are not hurt!"
Trick Kennedy patted his thigh and pulled Roan's hand to stand up. The deputy director felt a little pain in his buttocks. He probably didn't react just now and was pushed to the ground by Roan. After all, he was old.
Corbert also stood up quickly, and Vernis, who was next to him, shook his phone:
"The NYPD and SWAT teams have rushed here and started cordoning off the scene."
Roan nodded upon seeing this, and hurriedly said:
"Several officers, leave quickly!"
Then Vernis was placed at the forefront of leaving the banquet hall.
Seeing this, the three deputy directors twitched their mouths, but after all, Verinis is a woman, and Roan also protected himself and the others just now, so the three of them didn't say much, and quickly followed behind Verinis. stairs.
When he reached the stairs, Luo An wanted to go upstairs to check the situation above. The place where the explosion occurred was several floors away from here. Simply calculate the distance, it should be the scene where the charity auction is being held.
Roan wanted to go upstairs to see what was going on, maybe he could gain something.
But just as Roan was about to turn around and go upstairs, he was held tightly by Verenice and Trick Kennedy.
The reason why Vernis held Roan back was very simple, because she didn't want Roan, a powerful subordinate, to risk herself. The ghost knows what happened above and how many enemies there are.
He's just an FBI agent, not a CIA agent.
In the eyes of Verinisi, Roan's life is more important.
The reason why Trick Kennedy held Roan was more complicated. Seeing Roan wanting to go upstairs several times, thinking of Roan's action of saving himself first, Trick Kennedy gritted his teeth and whispered in Roan's ear. Bian whispered:
"The First Lady is upstairs! It's far safer there than us!"
A certain Bush's wife? When did you come? Why didn't I see the car?
Hearing this, the corner of Luo An's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking about going upstairs, and hurriedly followed the four deputy directors downstairs.
Since there is the first lady upstairs, it means that there must be people from the Federal Secret Service there. After all, the task of those people is to protect the federal president himself and his family.
Now that there's an explosion there, whether or not the first lady is injured, Roan is sure that the Secret Service gang is absolutely going crazy.
At this time, it is better not to go into the muddy water there, who knows what the crazy Secret Service will do.
Sure enough, Luo An just followed the four of Deputy Director Verinis to the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, and found that the outside of the hotel had been completely blocked by NYPD and SWAT.
But before everyone left, a large group of guys in pitch-black uniforms rushed out from nowhere, surrounded everyone, and lined up to carefully check their identities one by one.
"Fu-k!"
"Shit!"
"damn it!"
The leaders of the FBI found themselves under scrutiny, and couldn't help being very upset. Some of the hot-tempered leaders even scolded them directly.
The secret service agent in charge of checking the identities of everyone was sweating profusely, pleading guilty repeatedly, but he refused to let them go, and had to check one by one.
In the end, Trick Kennedy and the deputy director came out, identified themselves, and led the leaders of the FBI to quickly pass the inspection of the Secret Service agents.
Among them, Roan, the little deputy team leader, was ranked fifth in the inspection queue, second only to Trick Kennedy, the deputy director, Corbett, and Vernis.
Other leaders of the FBI who participated in the gathering: “…”
Dorothy at the end of the line: "???"
After walking out of the building, Roan found the scene extremely chaotic.
FBI, National Security Agency NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency DIA, Department of Homeland Security DHS... and many other departments all appeared and rushed to the scene to join in the grand event.
Among them, the two chiefs of the New York Police Department NYPD and the New York Fire Department FDNY also rushed here, but they couldn't squeeze in the front at all, so they could only shout loudly with loudspeakers in the back.
Seeing the scene where at least ten leaders were smashed to death with a brick, Roan was very moved.
This lineup and configuration are almost comparable to the day when the plane crashed into the building!
If the man behind the bomb planted just now also planted a bomb here, then...
After imitating the scene after the bomb exploded in his mind, the corner of Roan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help shivering.
Roan's trembling was just seen by Vernis. She frowned slightly, patted Roan's arm, and asked:
"How is it? Where did you get hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check?"
Trick Kennedy next to him heard this, and immediately took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Roan, saying:
"Go to the Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. The deputy dean there is my uncle. Take out this business card and you can check it for free!"
"..."
Hearing this, Luo An, who was going to be polite, silently stuffed the business card into his pocket.
As expected of the Kennedy family, the Federation is full of their relatives and friends.
When such a big event happened, the whole of New York was shocked. It didn't take long for the agents of the No. 5 investigation team to arrive at the scene.
Among them, Mona was the fastest. Although she hadn't recovered well, her legs were a little weak, and her arms were a little trembling, she still rushed to the scene to check on Roan's condition, and she was relieved when she learned that he was not injured.
After all, this case involves the first lady. According to past experience, the FBI Washington headquarters will send senior agents from the headquarters and other law enforcement agencies to conduct a joint investigation on this case.
But a few hours later, Roan looked at the black folder in front of him and his mouth twitched:
"This is…"
Seeing the expression on Roan's face, Vernis guessed what he was thinking, shook her head and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, we won't be the main investigator of that case.
But this case happened in New York after all, so we need our New York branch to send the best team of detectives to assist the headquarters detectives in the investigation. "
