New York, Grand Central Station.

Because of the "train hijacking", the train was delayed for several hours before it was able to open.

By the time the train arrived in New York, it was already evening.

After saying goodbye to the man who had thanked him so much, Colin took the bus to the Courier Newspaper Office.

In recent times, buses in New York City have begun to become more popular. The double-decker buses developed by General Motors can be found all over New York City. With cheap fares and a more convenient way of riding than trams, they have occupied a large number of places in New York City.

Part of the transportation market.

At the same time, General Motors, the company behind buses, was also looking for ways to acquire streetcar lines in New York City and transform them into bus routes to promote its bus business.

In fact, this is also an obvious business method.

As time goes by, more and more car companies join in the acquisition of trams, cannibalizing the tram lines and converting them into bus routes, eventually replacing the tram traffic business.

.

At the same time, rumors about the impact of streetcars on urban traffic also began to spread through newspapers.

Behind this, there are obviously promoters from the bus company.

It was a half-hour journey on the bus. By the time Colin got off the bus, it was completely dark in New York City and the street lights on both sides of the road were on.

After a long journey, even Colin's current physical condition could not help but feel a little tired.

Carrying my suitcase to the street where the newspaper office is located, I can see the lights in the newspaper office from a distance.

Clang——

When he opened the door, the first thing he heard was Old John's slightly surprised voice.

"The boss is back. When did he arrive?"

After walking into the newspaper office and taking off his hat, Colin breathed a sigh of relief and replied immediately.

"I came here as soon as I got off the train."

His eyes lingered on Colin's tired face for a moment, and Old John pushed up the brass reading glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose and advised: "In that case, why don't you take an extra day of rest? It's not less than one night anyway."

"No, for news, time is efficiency."

Shaking his head and rejecting Old John's proposal, Colin looked at the people in the newspaper office: "Formatting immediately, 8:45, nd Limited (Overland Premium Express) 'train robbery' case!"

"Train robber?"

After hearing the case mentioned by Colin, Old John looked at Colin in front of him. The expression on his face was puzzled at first and then he quickly reacted.

The Overland Premium Express was the train that Colin took, so the 'train robber' he spoke of was obviously...

Before he had time to think about it, Old John had already turned around and came to the typesetting machine. He took off most of the completed layouts on the machine and started making a new front page again.

…

"Extra number, extra number!"

"The Courier Daily's exclusive report - the 'train robbery' case!"

The next day, early morning.

Newsboys ran through the streets and squares waving newspapers.

"Train robber?!"

Due to the factors of the times, the time of the robbery on the Overland Express was not spread immediately.

Therefore, Colin, who has personally experienced the entire case, became the first-hand channel for this report.

That day, the entire New York City was abuzz with the news about the "train robbery", not only because of the robbers' brutal methods, but also because of the oolong ending of the entire case.

Regarding the results of the "train robbery", the people were also divided into two groups.

Some people believe that this was a premeditated extermination operation, and that the initial purpose of these robbers was to kill 'Nash'.

Some people believe that this was just a mistake and that 'Nash' died obviously due to an accident.

Of course, no matter which outcome it is, it is an extremely frustrating outcome for 'Nash' as ​​the rescued party.

Especially in the report, Colin has focused on the exclamation of 'Nash' before his death and the regretful words of the robbers after seeing his body afterwards. Therefore, more people still regard this case as an accident. At the same time,

It also made the entire brutal shooting incident even more dramatic.

It is worth mentioning that what was heard on the train was verified by Colin afterwards.

One of the robbers involved in the "train robbery" has been identified, and his identity is Charles Arthur Floyd, later known as "Beautiful Boy".

He was also a famous bank robber later on, and even crossed paths with the male and female robbers - Bonnie and Clyde.

There are rumors that Freud once rejected Bonnie and Clyde and mocked them as: "Little brats who stole money from the grocery store."

All we can say is that no matter what industry you are in, occupational discrimination is common.

Even robbers are not immune to this.

…

Of course, in addition to the front-page report on the "Train Robbery" case, the Courier Daily also continued its tradition of comic strips.

Following this dramatic case is a "Superman" short story that closely follows current events.

The content of the story, based on Colin's real experience, tells the story of Clark getting on the train due to work.

On the train, I also encountered the scene of robbery by robbers.

The extremely vicious robbers are planning to put a bomb on the train and threaten all passengers to hand over their valuables, otherwise they will detonate the bomb and blow up the train.

And all this was heard by Clark who was also on the train. In order to protect the safety of the passengers on the train and to prevent his interview work from being affected, Clark transformed into Superman and found the bomb hidden by the robbers on the train in the blink of an eye.

And he threw it into the air and exploded it in front of the robbers.

At the same time, he easily subdued the robbers and successfully rescued the passengers on the train while ensuring that his interview work went on smoothly.

In the comics, Colin also deliberately used one of the robbers to say the exclamation of "Nash" before his death, "Be careful, don't beat me to death too!"

Indirectly poking fun at the news case on the front page of the newspaper.

…

The Courier Daily's report on the "train robbery" instantly made the whole case the focus of national attention.

That night, CBS invited Colin to broadcast a detailed report on the entire case.

"...So, Mr. Colin Looper, do you think this is a conspiracy?"

During the broadcast, a radio reporter asked Colin a question.

"Many people believe that the entire train robbery case was a premeditated murder operation. As an actual person who experienced the entire incident, what do you think?"

"First of all, I don't think this is silence."

In the recording studio of CBS Radio, Colin glanced at the reporter in front of him and replied.

"Why are you so sure?"

Of course it's because of what I heard.

Although Colin heard Freud's conversation with his own ears on the train, it was obviously not suitable to say it on the radio.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Colin chose a few reasons that he thought he could give.

"On the train at that time, the robbers initially aimed their submachine guns at the policemen around 'Nash', not 'Nash', so at first 'Nash' reminded them not to kill themselves, but later, perhaps because the situation changed,

There was some confusion, or simply some of the robbers were too 'crazy', and they fired at the police several times. As a result, 'Nash', who was supposed to be the rescued party, also died inexplicably among them.

Under the gun..."

"If everything you said, Mr. Colin Looper, is true, then this can be regarded as one of the stupidest 'train robbery' cases of the year."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Colin Looper."

In the recording studio of CBS Radio, the broadcast report on the news case ended, and the reporter in charge quickly thanked Colin.

The Courier Daily has always reported exclusively on the "Train Robbery" news in New York City.

Without Colin's consent, CBS would not have been able to obtain the broadcast coverage of this news.

"It's nothing. As a worker in the journalism industry, I just pass the facts to the public."

After exchanging a few words with the reporter in charge of news reporting at CBS Radio, Colin learned from the other party that CBS was currently setting up its own broadcast news agency to compete with the newspaper industry.

"Mr. Colin, long time no see."

Coming out of the recording studio, Colin also saw the person in charge of CBS, William Paley, who was outside.

Although it was ostensibly to deliver news, both Colin and CBS knew that the purpose of his trip could not be as simple as appearing in a news broadcast.

In recent times, the cooperation between CBS and The Courier Newspaper has been very pleasant.

The radio drama "Adventures of Superman" has brought a lot of advertising revenue and audience groups to CBS radio. CBS has put the plan of "Adventures of Superman" on the agenda, and William Paley is here to talk about it this time.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Nodding, Colin was not too surprised by the appearance of William Paley.
