When this happened, Owen returned to Tu immediately. Sure enough, as soon as he walked into the hall, he felt that the atmosphere inside was very solemn.
As soon as Owen returned to his work station, he saw Tony who was on the phone on the second floor and waved. Owen went upstairs. In addition to Tony, there were Chloe and Sherman from the public relations department in the office.
"It has just been confirmed that Anthony Berman, one of the murderers of the bombing, should be the new leader of the Cruel Angels. In March last year, we raided a stronghold of the Cruel Angels and killed their former leader. After that, the Cruel Angels disappeared and searched for traces.
.
There is evidence that the No. 2 figure has risen to power, but he has been using a false name before, and it was just discovered that the No. 2 figure is Anthony Berman."
Chloe shared the latest information with Owen.
Owen frowned and said, "Could there be a British person behind this organization?"
"I don't know. Although the British are our allies in name, they have been making little moves behind the scenes..."
Tony finished the call at this time and answered smoothly.
"What should we do now? Because of Cruel Angel, the two incidents were linked together, and the voices of doubt in the media were very loud.
We have prepared some shocking news, news about the pedophilia of the King of Kings, but now is not the best time. I think it is best to announce the identity of the bomber to divert public attention from Tu, and then
Publish those violent revelations..."
Sherman expressed his opinion that the public relations department exists to maintain TU's public image.
Tony took a breath and said, "My opinion is not to announce it yet. I can still bear the pressure for the time being. After it is announced, it will be much more difficult to handle the case. I communicated with Jack and he also means the same thing..."
Tony's words undoubtedly represented the final decision. Sherman nodded and said nothing, as everyone left.
An hour ago, somewhere in Los Angeles, people from Cruel Angel gathered together. Anthony Berman, who appeared in the bombing, sat at the head of the table, with a solemn expression on his face, and finally made a decision.
"Bernie, send the video tape out in a minute."
The subordinate named Bernie was stunned when he heard this, but then nodded. He was a die-hard fan of Anthony. Although he did not understand why Anthony did this, he would never question the decision he made.
Although others also had doubts, Anthony's prestige among the Cruel Angels was very strong, and no one expressed any objection.
Anthony picked up the phone and prepared to call Zheng Anshun.
This premiere bombing was not what Cruel Angel wanted to do at all.
Cruel Angel is an advocate of anarchism. They are against governments of various countries, so its targets have always been government agencies, especially those powerful institutions, the Ministry of Finance, the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, the FBI, the police station...
Attacking civilians is something the Cruel Angel disdains, but this time is an exception.
When the Cruel Angels were in their most difficult time, the White Mask helped them, helped them carry out the terrorist attack against Tu, and helped them make plans in Tu's subsequent revenge, so the Cruel Angels could survive.
A few days ago, Zheng Anshun of White Mask found him. White Mask wanted to launch a series of terrorist attacks, terrorist attacks against civilians.
Anthony disagreed, but Cruel Angel owed White Mask a favor, so Anthony reluctantly launched a bomb attack at the premiere and personally participated.
He did this to repay Mask's favor, but he didn't want to participate in the subsequent attacks on train stations and department stores, and he didn't want Cruel Angel to be involved either.
He doesn't want Cruel Angel to become an extremist organization that relies on attacking civilians to gain profits, which is inconsistent with their beliefs.
He knew very well that the White Mask was different from other organizations in that they always kept themselves hidden behind the scenes. In other words, the White Mask did not want themselves to be exposed.
So Anthony let Cruel Angel take the blame for the premiere bombing, but he also expressed his attitude, just this time. If White Mask still wants to carry out subsequent consecutive terrorist attacks, sorry, Cruel Angel will not participate.
Anthony informed Zheng Anshun of his attitude over the phone. He knew that Bai Mask would be unhappy, but so what?
In a villa somewhere in the suburbs, Zheng Anshun hung up the phone and said in blunt English to Avril, who was watching TV intently: "Boss, Cruel Angel wants to quit~~~"
Avril on the sofa seemed not to have heard what Zheng Anshun said. She was still watching the TV show and laughing. She waited until the show was over before turning around: "Since they are no longer willing to stand in front of the white mask, they don't exist."
There is no point in going down. We can save them, but of course we can also destroy them..."
When Owen was feeling worried at his workstation, he received Fatty's call again. Owen answered the call: "Eddie?"
Eddie's voice came immediately on the other end of the phone. It sounded like he was mumbling. The fat guy must have been eating again.
"Officer Irving, I saw on the news that your Chief Tony Almeida announced a reward of $500,000 for clues in the bomb case. Do the clues I provided earlier count?"
Owen rolled his eyes angrily, "Have you forgotten how I got you out of the FBI?"
Eddie on the other end of the phone laughed, "Okay, I knew you would say that. So now I can get the 500,000 by providing clues, right?"
"Do you have a clue?"
Owen jumped up and stood up from his desk.
"Of course, if Cruel Angel's information is a clue, then I think I just know a little bit. Of course, I have to confirm before that. If I tell you, it will be considered as providing a clue or for free..."
"Of course it's a clue, Eddie, do you see the $500,000 waving at you? As long as your information is true, I guarantee you can get the money. But Eddie, don't lie.
I deceived you with the idea of money, but no kind person like me will ever fish you out again..."
"Hahaha, how could I do such a thing? I am a law-abiding citizen, and it is my unshirkable responsibility to provide the federal government with clues to solve the case, hahaha~~~"
Eddie laughed loudly on the other end, Owen's head was full of black lines, you are a law-abiding citizen, do you even know what the law is?
"Come on, tell me what you know quickly. The money hasn't even reached your pocket yet."
Owen urged.
"Okay, okay, haha, I'm just excited about the arrival of the money. Half a million dollars, how many weapons do you have to sell to earn it? Okay, okay, let's get down to business..."
Eddie paused and put on a businesslike tone: "I happen to know a little bit about the Cruel Angel you are looking for. I know a guy named Bernie. I don't know his last name. That guy used to be my client.
I have bought many weapons from me.
I happen to know that he is from Cruel Angel. Don’t ask me how I know. I won’t tell you. I can only tell you that I am sure he is from Cruel Angel. That guy lives near Pine Street. You can check it out.
Check him..."
"You actually gave arms to terrorists?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't know he was a terrorist at that time..."
Owen said to himself that it's strange that I believe you. These arms sellers wish that the whole world would be filled with rioters, so that their business would be easier.
Owen suddenly remembered something and asked uncertainly: "Last year we seized an arsenal of Cruel Angels. Could it be that you sold the big guys in there to them?"
Irving remembered that they found a lot of bomb materials in the arsenal they seized before, and those things were enough to cause quite a stir in Los Angeles.
"Haha, that's not mine. It was sold to them by Bambi the Elephant. But you don't have to worry about it. Bambi the Elephant had a fight with someone a few months ago and was beaten to death..."
