Chapter 754 Summary after the incident

Hotchner had a cast on his arm and looked gray and gray. If Rhett hadn't sent him an emergency kit and asked him to change his clothes, everyone might still be able to see the bandage on his thigh.

Jack's image was not much better than his. His suit jacket was covered in dust, and his whole body smelled of gun smoke. He even looked even more embarrassed than Hotchner because he hadn't changed his clothes.

"Is Joyna okay?" Although he knew it, Jack still wanted to be concerned.

Hotchner looked a little weird, "She is still in the operating room, but the doctor said it is not life-threatening, but the injury on her face will cause some trouble in the future."

At that time, someone rushed over to save people and was so anxious that he didn't pay attention. But in retrospect, Hotchner's posture when he was kneeling next to Joyner at that time did not look like he was giving artificial respiration.

After all, when Jack arrived, Joyner was in a coma but did not need cardiopulmonary resuscitation, so after eliminating all impossible options, there seemed to be only one answer.

Most likely, Joyner thought she was dying, so she said something, causing Hotchner to lower his head and kiss her, and then fell into a coma as she wished.

It seems that we need to go back and ask Garcia for a copy of the live video at that time. The best Eagle Eye camera from that angle should have captured something.

At this time, emergency news from various channels were playing on the screens in the operations center and conference room, and images of Central Park shot from a helicopter perspective were constantly circulating.

There were also reporters who were not afraid of death and rushed into the scene wearing safety helmets, using the scene of firefighters putting out the fire as the backdrop for live news.

Jack has been looking around since he sat in the small conference room. He couldn't help but think wildly and tried to divert his attention, but with little success.

The perfumes of Hannah and Jie Jie next to me smell great, Emily has a really good figure, the female boss still has her charm, and Garcia’s chubby look is so cute, ah bah

After pinching his thigh hard, the severe pain finally drove those messy thoughts out of his brain, and then Rossi's voice reached his ears again.

".So, the real purpose of 'Dark Jihad' is not to create consecutive attacks with multiple targets like the London bombings, but a single-target bombing with expected casualties no less than '911'. For this, they have prepared... Well... Not less than 1.5 tons of C4 and chromate explosives."

"This is my rough estimate based on the power of the explosion. In addition to C4, they also used chromates, various peroxides, perchlorates, chlorates, and mercurochrome to increase the power." Reid touched it. The stubble on his chin added.

"Maybe they thought that the amount of C4 they had was not enough to completely destroy the entire hospital building, so they added these additional materials. According to the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), they already have some clues."

"So where's the source of C4?" Jack was used to second-guessing things. He was curious about where the Durange drug cartel got so many military explosives from, and wouldn't it have anything to do with the CIA.

"According to previous intelligence, the C4 in the hands of the Durange drug cartel was leaked from the Bolivian military. After Anthony Vargas was arrested, he never explained their smuggling channels.

According to the intelligence just provided by some departments, they may have transported C4 into the country mixed with cocaine. "Dana Moger's expression was very subtle.

Jack was speechless. It was common to smuggle drugs mixed with other things. This was the first time he had heard of C4 mixed with cocaine for smuggling.

"Some people think they have control of the rules of the game and can do whatever they want, and they will pay the price this time." There is something in Rossi's words.

So it's not that no one knows about the drug smuggling channels of the Durange drug cartel, but there's something else hidden. I don't know if it's the CIA or the DEA. Anyway, these two are the most suspected.

The scene this time is a bit exaggerated. Some department must be held responsible for it, and it must be thanks to the FBI New York office. Otherwise, the consequences will not only be the addition of a new artificial lake (pond?) to Central Park.

Even so, the economic losses caused by this big explosion were not low. First, nearly a quarter of Central Park was severely damaged, and some statues and rare plants with considerable cultural value were severely damaged.

According to the virtues of the United States, it will be difficult to restore it to its original state within a few years without spending tens of millions or hundreds of millions of funds.

In addition, some surrounding buildings were also damaged by the shock wave. Central Park is a long and narrow shape, 4 kilometers long from north to south, but only 0.8 kilometers wide from east to west, and the east and west sides are covered with various buildings of historical significance.

There was a report in the news just now that a window of an apartment about 1.3 kilometers away from Central Park was smashed by a wheel hub, and a young couple in the bedroom suffered a big shock.

In addition, as usual, huge explosions have also caused riots in some areas with poor security. There have been many gun battles between overly "enthusiastic" black-skinned neighbors and the NYPD who maintain law and order.

You will probably hear a black aunt speaking with a RAP accent on the news tomorrow defending her son.

Such as "He is a happy nut in the community, a warm-hearted neighbor"

"If you get to know him, you will find that he is a good man, a good husband, a good father, a good friend, he is a loving person who will do anything for you, although we do not know why he would do it, But he doesn't deserve to be treated like this and we need the truth."

And so on.

In short, the NYPD will be very busy tonight. After the explosions that resounded throughout the city, there may be sirens that will continue all night.

"So, who is in St. Barclay's Hospital? Who is it that needs the USSS (Secret Service) to be deployed for protection, and why has the entire hospital become the target of the 'Dark Jihad'?" Jiejie asked.

As an eyewitness, Hotchner knows the whole story best, but Jack and Joey Reacher communicated through the intercom at the time, and he only heard Jack's questions, not the other party's answers.

"The President of Bolivia." Jack revealed the final answer. "According to Rossi's previous intelligence, the only thing that prevented Anthony Vargas from being extradited was the power of the president of this country.

So the target of the Durango drug cartel from beginning to end was the Bolivian president who came to the United States for heart surgery. They blew up the entire hospital and turned the whole thing into a terrorist attack that shocked the world. In the end, 'Dark Jihad' was responsible.

In such a big event, no one would doubt that the president became collateral damage. It has to be said that the guy who planned this has a genius brain.

The Durango drug cartel provided money and materials, and 'Dark Jihad' provided people and fame. Both sides got what they needed. This guy's imagination can be said to be quite wild."

"So we were completely fooled by them." Emily was a little indignant.

"Everything that happened before was just acting, randomly shooting eight innocent passers-by on the street, hacking into the NYPD system, and the car bomb attack on Hotchner and Joyner. All of this was a cover-up. The ultimate goal was to rescue Anthony Vargas with the help of a terrorist attack. Damn it, who could have thought of this." Reed still analyzed from the most rational and objective perspective, "So our profiles were always wrong. Fortunately, the other party directed a scene where the murderer committed suicide by the hands of the police. Otherwise, we would not be able to link the previous shootings with terrorism, not to mention the responses made in advance." Hotchner continued, "Thanks to Jack, if he hadn't been alert enough, you would probably be looking for my and Kate's bodies in the ruins now, and even until the end, you would not be able to link the whole incident with the Durango drug cartel. Because in the end, all the clues will point to a long-planned terrorist attack, not an assassination." "But without your profiles, we couldn't stop it in the end." The female boss smiled. "St. Barclay's Hospital is a comprehensive hospital with a 22-story main building. If that truck of explosives really exploded underground, it would be the worst terrorist attack New York has suffered since 9/11. So thank you for the assistance of the Behavioral Analysis Department, and of course our brave and fearless Agent Jack Tavola. Without you, thousands of families in New York will be in pain and despair tonight." "Although, but." Rossi was a little dissatisfied with the tone of his old lover, "Strictly speaking, Jack is still a member of our BAU." "Yes, yes." Dana Moger chuckled and took his arm, gently like coaxing a child, "Why don't we go out for a drink, tonight is really a bit too exciting, isn't it?"
