Chapter 164 Arrest

"I solemnly swear that I will faithfully perform the duties of President of the United States and do my best to abide by, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States."

In an office, Underwood pressed his hand on the Bible and solemnly swore an oath.

The oath is stipulated in Article 2, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution and cannot be changed. However, pressing the Bible with your hand when taking the oath is not a mandatory requirement, it is just a tradition.

Because all the previous presidents of the United States are Christians, they mostly press the Bible with their hands when taking the oath, but there are not without exceptions.

When Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in in 1901, he did not place his hand on the Bible to recite the oath.

After the oath was recited, the accompanying personnel assisted Underwood in recording his palmprint on the electronic board, and the presidential identity verification card became effective.

Another attaché handed over a cipher the size of a credit card: "This is the nuclear password, please keep it safe."

Underwood took over the cipher, which should be the legendary "biscuit".

From the moment he took over the cipher, a group of soldiers from the Pentagon saluted him. It was also from this moment that Underwood truly realized his dream - to become the President of the United States of America.

At the same time, the White House officially announced the news: President Garrett Walker was killed and according to the Act of Succession, Vice President Francis Underwood became the new president of the United States.

The news quickly spread throughout the country, and people were saddened by President Walker's death.

On the streets of various cities, people were silently mourning, expressing their grief for the president and their loss for the country.

Many people went to the Presidential Palace to lay flowers and observe silence to express their admiration and memory for the president.

The entire country is mourning this outstanding leader, and his passing makes people feel extremely sad and sad.

As for the new president, most people say they don’t understand it, which is normal. Most of the time, the Vice President of the United States is like a mascot.

However, the last two presidents have been succeeded by vice presidents, which has forced some politicians to consider whether this is a shortcut to the peak of power.

People as far away as the UK also learned the news through the media. President Walker died like this?

This gave everyone the feeling of a heavy punch hitting cotton.

Walker framed Jack Bauer, and Walker sent people to hunt them down, and the grievances between Walker and them.

Everyone was already prepared to watch Walker be pulled from the presidential throne and watch him go to jail.

But just before success, Walker died.

The media played the new president's inauguration speech. Like everyone else, everyone in Team 4 knew very little about the former vice president.

For Jack, the new president's first speech was nothing to watch. It was nothing more than an explanation of his governing philosophy and a bunch of empty promises.

Instead, after the speech, the case progress announced by the FBI caught Jack's attention.

"We have found the weapon and location used by the killer to snipe the president.

The murderer used an M200 long-range sniper rifle, and the sniper location was on the fourth floor of a building about 1.5 kilometers away from the press conference.

At present, based on the fingerprints left on the firearm, we have basically locked in the identity of the murderer..."

Jack was stunned when he heard this speech. The meaning of the other party's words sounded like he was talking about Swager.

But hadn’t I already warned the other party in advance? How could I still put the blame on him?

Jack called Swager's number, but no one answered.

Watching TV again, after a while, the major media have already started to discuss the murderer.

People are full of curiosity and doubts about the truth behind the assassination of the president and the motives behind it.

At the same time, people also express their appreciation and support for the police's efficient law enforcement and resolute attitude in fighting crime.

Jack was extremely anxious, praying in his heart that it would not be Swagger, otherwise he might become the second Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer was on the run for many years before finding evidence to prove his innocence. What about Swag?

It just so happened that at this moment, Swager's call, which had been unanswered just now, came back to Jack.

As soon as the call was connected, Jack said loudly: "Man, have you watched the news? The more I watch it, the more it sounds like I'm talking about you. Don't tell me you were arrested."

Jack asked loudly. There was silence on the other end of the phone at first, and then a familiar voice came: "Jack?"

Jack was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized who the other party was. He looked at the phone in disbelief. Yes, it was Swager's number.

"Silver?"

Jack called the other party's name, and both parties on the phone recognized the other party.

"You guys captured Swagger?"

In an instant, Jack figured everything out. Swagger and Silver were two completely incompatible people. Theoretically, there was no possibility for them to intersect.

But now, it's Silver who answers Swager's call.

"Yes, Swager is a major suspect in this case."

Silver had no intention of hiding it from Jack and admitted it openly.

"e on, man, there is no way Swager is the murderer. If you check the media videos, you will know that Swager was at the scene when the president was sniped. He does not have the conditions for sniping at all."

Jack's words aroused Silver's interest: "How do you know this?"

Jack is also a bachelor: "I was the one who asked him to do this."

"So you know someone is going to kill the president?"

Jack was filled with hatred. He asked himself that his relationship with Silver was not bad, but now this old bastard was actually digging a hole for him.

"Of course I don't know. I just...wait, you won't list me as a suspect, right?"

Jack suddenly realized something. The president's assassination must be an FBI investigation.

Silver's emergency response team specializes in handling such major emergencies.

Now Swager's phone is in Silver's hands. Apparently, Swager was arrested.

Now that Swager has been arrested, the FBI must know that he had a previous phone call with Swager, so he will naturally become a suspect in this case.

Hearing Jack's questioning, Silver on the other side was noncommittal, acquiescing to Jack's guess.

Jack felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

They have just been hunted by the CIA, and now they are under suspicion by the FBI. It may be impossible for them to return to the United States in the future.

But even so, he still had to explain that he didn't want to take the blame.

"I swear, it was never me. In fact, I sent the evidence about President Walker to the media, so there was no need for me to do this."

In order to prove his innocence, Jack even revealed such secrets.

Silver on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking.

Finally he said: "Well, let's meet and talk about it."

When he heard about the meeting, Jack on the other end of the phone quickly refused: "No, no, no, you may not know that I am being hunted by the CIA, and I will not return to China in the short term."

But I heard Silver on the other end of the phone say: "I'm afraid it's not up to you."

Hearing Silver's answer, Jack was horrified. At this time, he looked with his inner eye and found that the room was already surrounded by heavily armed SAS.

"Don't resist."

This was the only thing Jack could tell Mia and Benji before breaking the door. The next second, the door was violently broken open, and the SAS in combat uniforms quickly broke in and subdued the three people in the house.
