Watching McClane dragging Dom into Police Station 51, Owen shrugged, turned and walked into the CTU building opposite.
In the office, Owen met Tony.
Tony handed over a cup of coffee and Owen took it.
"Owen, did you find anything over there?"
After Owen took a sip, he put the coffee on the table and shook his head.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Owen looked at the busy traffic below. Traffic jams in New York were very severe. Often, at a red light, the streets below would be filled with cars.
Tony sighed and looked out the window. After a while, Youyou said: "I can't continue to waste time here. There are many other things waiting for me to deal with in Washington. David will continue to follow up on this case...
"
Tony's meaning is very clear, he has to leave. He is a big shot, the first person in charge of the National Anti-Terrorism Agency, and there are countless things waiting for him to make decisions every day.
He did not doubt the authenticity of the information provided by Owen, and if he had doubted it, he would not have come here in person. But there was no progress for a week, and he could not waste time here.
Owen nodded, he understood Tony's situation.
"when are we leaving?"
"This afternoon, be sure to inform me if anything happens..."
Tony patted Owen on the shoulder.
Owen nodded and was about to leave when suddenly, there was a loud bang, accompanied by the earth shaking and a silent shock wave sweeping over the building.
Owen was knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and it took him a while to recover. His head was still a little hazy, and various alarm sounds came from his ears, including fire alarms, car alarms...
Owen shook his head. He was very sure that what had just happened was an explosion, and the explosion point was not far from where he was. As far as he could see, the room was in a mess, all the floor-to-ceiling windows were shattered, and the computers and other objects on the table were also shaken.
When it fell to the ground, Owen's cup of coffee, which he had only taken a sip of, was not spared either.
"Explosion, explosion..."
Owen stood up staggeringly, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that had no glass and saw the scene on the opposite side. The explosion point was in the 51 police station opposite TU. The first floor facing the street was almost in ruins, and thick black smoke came out from inside.
, all the cars that were relatively close were blown over, the streets were filled with flames, overturned cars and people crying helplessly.
"Bomb... bomb attack..."
Tony didn't know when he walked up behind Owen and looked at the tragic scene below.
At this time, the explosion point was surrounded by a large number of police officers. The explosion point was already in the police station. Those police officers who were not affected rushed over immediately. Later, the TU agents in black suits also
He ran out of the messy CTU building and rushed over.
On the third floor, Owen and Tony seemed to be aware of something. They had just said that there had been no movement recently and then there was an explosion. They were still in the police station. They thought of Syndicate immediately.
Owen also quickly realized that the explosion was arranged at the 51 police station opposite TU. This was not so much a provocation to the police as a blatant slap in TU's face.
Owen and Tony also rushed over quickly. When they were upstairs, they had a wide view. What they saw was more like a God's perspective. Although it was comprehensive, it lacked a sense of reality. But at this moment, being at the scene of the explosion, all the feelings were even more intense.
Intuitive, panicked, and helpless.
The first floor of the police station was in ruins. Everything was charred and black. Thick smoke was still pouring out. Several of the rooms affected by the explosion were completely unrecognizable from their original appearance. There was still an exaggeratedly large hole in the wall.
On the street outside, there were cars overturned by the shock wave everywhere. Blood and broken limbs were everywhere. Many people were wailing, but these people were lucky. They might have been far away when the explosion occurred.
, perhaps there were other shelters in the middle that blocked the shock wave for them. There were a large number of corpses lying quietly in places where no one was paying attention. The power of the explosion claimed their lives immediately.
In the police building, McClane stood up dizzily from the ground. Opposite him was Dom who was handcuffed. The room was already in a mess, and the double-sided glass was shattered in the explosion, revealing the door in the next room.
situation.
He was interrogating Dom just now, trying to get some useful information out of his mouth, and when he got to the key point, a sudden explosion knocked him to the ground.
Next to the road outside, in a Mazda RX7, Han and Giselle looked at the explosion scene in the distance in shock. They were far away and were not affected, but they could really feel the power of the explosion.
Recovering from the shock, Han immediately called Brian. After Dom was captured, Brian was the temporary leader of the team. They came here originally to find a way to rescue Dom, but unexpectedly they accidentally
I saw the police station being bombed.
"What, Police Station 51 was bombed?"
"Yes, it should be a terrorist attack."
"Where's Dom? Is he okay?"
"I don't know. The one who was bombed was on the first floor. I hope he is not on the first floor..."
In addition to Han's voice, what came from the receiver was the screams of a large number of people. It was clear that it was very chaotic over there.
"Okay, you guys leave there right away and come to the repair shop first, and we'll discuss it together."
Han agreed and hung up the phone. The whistling sound of an ambulance came from the intersection. The whistling sound came from far away. After a while, several ambulances arrived one after another. At the same time, the media's press van also arrived. Those guys were like
Sharks who smell the fishy smell will know immediately no matter where something happens.
Soon after, in the chaos, an RX7 drove away from the scene.
Owen and Tony stood at the scene of the explosion, watching the ambulances arrive and watching them rescue the wounded. Owen also saw the rx7 leave, but he didn't pay special attention to it. This is New York, where luxury cars are everywhere, and an ordinary car
There is nothing strange about Tong's rx7.
Guns and cannons were set up all around, the live broadcast truck started working, and all major TV stations were broadcasting real-time news, reporting on the explosion at Police Station 51.
Suddenly, Tony's phone rang.
When the phone was connected, the voice of his subordinate came from inside: "Director, someone just claimed that he was the murderer of this bombing. He said he wanted to talk to you..."
"Turn the phone over."
Tony shouted, and then a hoarse male voice sounded over there.
"Director Tony Almeida, I guess you should know who I am?"
"Solomon Lane?"
"Yes, it seems that Owen has already introduced me. This is the first time. It is a meeting gift from me to you..."
"In the end what you want?"
Hearing Ryan say that this was only the first time, Tony became irritated and couldn't help but ask.
"This is a game I play with Owen, asking him to listen to the phone..."
"Irving? Steve Irwin?"
Tony plays dumb.
"Yes."
"I need time to contact him. During this period, you cannot launch terrorist attacks casually..."
Tony tried to steady Ryan, but he was met with laughter.
"Director Almeida, don't play tricks with me, Owen is standing next to you..."
After hearing Ryan's words, Tony's expression changed. He first covered the phone and informed Owen of the situation, and then handed the phone over.
Owen took it, and Ryan's joking voice came from inside.
"I said I would invite you to play a fun game, and this is just the beginning."
"what on earth do you want?"
Owen asked one of the weakest lines of dialogue in any film or television series.
"Haha, there will be a second explosion in half an hour. Guess where it will be? If you guess it right, I will give up detonating it. Oh, haha, don't think about quitting. If you quit, I will detonate the bomb, and there will be more explosions later.
There will be a third game and a fourth game. I can only decide when it will end. I wish you good luck!"
Ryan hung up the phone, and Tony looked upstairs. A head appeared behind the broken glass curtain wall on a certain floor of the CTU building, and shook his head helplessly at them.
Tony cursed angrily, but all this was expected. Solomon Lane was a former MI6 agent and could not be located so easily.
Owen had just hung up the phone when a car screeched to a stop in front of Owen. The door opened and the Omega team members got out one after another. They were not far away in the first place. They rushed over as soon as they felt the explosion.
.
"Solomon Lane said there was a second bomb, but he asked us to guess where it would go off. Also, he could see me, and that bastard was nearby. Find him."
Owen immediately informed everyone of the situation here, and Shabaitian spoke first: "I need the cooperation of the New York CTU, not only the authority, I need the command authority of the intelligence analysis department..."
They are now cooperating with CTU, which can be regarded as helping the government. Naturally, they no longer need to hack in like before. The government has a lot of resources that they can use openly. Irving looked at Tony, Tony nodded, and Irving continued: "
no problem."
Seeing Tony nodding, the person in charge of the New York CTU next to him had a bad look on his face, but Tony couldn't control this. Professional matters were left to professionals. Although the New York branch did a good job, Omega was the best.
The work efficiency of CTU in New York is very high. Omega moved into the New York CTU branch and took over the place within a few minutes. This has something to do with the fact that Jack Bauer has led CTU for a long time. The work efficiency of CTU is obviously higher than other similar organizations.
Many, it has been at the top of the list for a long time. Even if Jack resigned as director, not much has changed.
"One group, check all the cameras nearby, especially those who left within ten minutes after the explosion. I want to know their identities..."
"Team Two, call out all the call records in New York during this period, cdma, lte, gsm, all formats..."
Sha Baitian immediately started working after taking over. She first divided the intelligence analysis department into two groups, and then started searching in two different directions.
Since Solomon Lane was nearby, he would definitely leave immediately after making the phone call, and he would definitely use public transportation, taxi, subway, or walk, so he arranged a team to investigate those who left after the explosion.
The second group was assigned to check the call records. Although there were still many results, it was still in one direction, and other methods could be used to continue the investigation.
The intelligence analysis team was busy, and the rest of the people were not idle either. Tony called everyone together to analyze the syndicate's next attack location. Since the other party said there was a second one, it was probably not a bluff.
The method is simple. If you were Solomon Lane, where would you choose?
Wall Street, Times Square, Broadway, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, City Hall, Metropolitan Museum, United Nations Headquarters, Central Park...
As the world's largest city and the world's financial center, New York has too many locations for terrorist attacks. In comparison, the first bomb was only placed at the police station opposite CTU. It can be said that it has been given.
A lot of face.
A group of people were dizzy with their thoughts, but none of them could be sure. They could only notify the police and strengthen security patrols everywhere, but they couldn't make a large-scale announcement, otherwise it would easily cause panic.
There is no result yet from the first group, but the news came from the second group first.
"We found out that from 5 minutes before the explosion started to 10 minutes after it ended, there were a total of 120,000 phone calls made in New York..."
The second group of analysts reported a number that seemed high, but was actually very reasonable. There were more than 8 million people in New York, and the explosion itself could easily cause a surge in phone calls.
However, in their opinion, this number is actually meaningless. 120,000 are impossible to investigate at all. But Shabaitian didn't think so. After thinking about it, she said: "Only those whose receiving place is in New York..."
"After screening, there are still more than 70,000..."
"Filter out those whose call time is within 2 minutes..."
It takes 1 minute and 47 seconds for the intelligence department to locate a mobile phone. Since the other party has not located it, it will filter out all calls within 2 minutes.
"There are more than 3,000 more..."
The scope is narrowing little by little, and the eyes of everyone in the intelligence analysis team have also changed from being optimistic at first to being serious. Everyone no longer thinks that this is looking for a needle in a haystack. Silly Baitian does have a skill, and Omega is not unworthy of its reputation.
Sha Baitian held her temples with two fingers, walking in the office area while thinking, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
"If we check the more than 3,000 people, who made at least two phone calls after the explosion..."
Sha Baitian suddenly stopped and issued the latest order. Everyone was a little stunned and didn't understand why she did this, but they still carried out the order.
Only a few people can figure out why she did this. Solomon Lane couldn't have done this series of explosions himself. He was only responsible for directing. Then after he called Owen, he would most likely call the person responsible for the second bomb again.
His subordinates, so Shabaitian asked those 3,000 people who made two phone calls after the explosion.
"It's been checked, there are 221 people left..."
Someone reported the numbers excitedly, and everyone looked at Shabaitian expectantly, waiting for her next order and wanting to witness the birth of the miracle with their own eyes.
Silly Baitian moved forward again, and after a while: "Among these 221 people, screen out the prepaid phones..."
When a new command was issued, the operator's fingers flew quickly on the keyboard. Everyone could understand this command, but no one had thought of it before.
Since Solomon Lane personally called to protest, he would definitely not use his own fixed number. The easiest and most convenient way would be to use an anonymous prepaid phone number.
"Found it..."
An excited shout interrupted everyone's contemplation.
"There are three people in total. I also checked their current locations. One is near Wall Street, one is near the Empire State Building, and one is on 11th Street..."
"I'll go to Wall Street, your people will go to the Empire State Building..."
Almost at the same time as the guy's words fell, Irving and his people had already rushed out, not forgetting to make a simple division of labor with Tony. Omega was responsible for Wall Street, and New York CTU was responsible for the Empire State Building. The scope had been reduced to the minimum. They could definitely do it.
It is better to kill the wrong one than let it go. As for the one on 11th Street, it should be just a false alarm. 11th Street is a remote road and there is nothing there.
