Pretending to stay calm, he continued moving forward.
After blending into the crowd on the street, Gu Ji decisively turned around, slipped into a narrow alley, crossed a patch of grass, and quickly headed to a nearby small park. There, he finally stopped and hailed a taxi.
"Whew..."
Once inside the car, Gu Ji slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, forcing himself to calm down as his mind raced, and pulled out his phone.
The live stream viewers were all asking about the explosion just now.
But he ignored them and instead entered the streamer backend to find the second private message from the bomber.
[Art Requires Explosion: 83 Brooklyn Center District.]
Gu Ji quickly took out a map, first confirmed the location of the center district, and murmured: "York College."
The Brooklyn District is located in the southeastern part of New York City, adjacent to Queens District and Manhattan District, and is the most populous district in the city, with a population of 2.5 million.
It is further divided based on commercial and residential functions into the Center District, Danbo District, Navy Pier, Brooklyn Heights, Prospect Park, and other areas.
The first three are known as the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, a concentration of high-tech companies located in the northeast direction of Brooklyn, just a bridge away from New York's financial center, Manhattan District.
And the "York College" he told the driver about is roughly in the same direction as the center district.
More importantly, this is also where the police blockade is weakest.
Gu Ji opened his phone, searched "83" on Google.
To his surprise, the result was shocking:
It turned out to be the Volut New York Branch!
How could it be that?
He raised his wrist, looking at the smartwatch in shock, and tried to analyze the relationship between the bomber and Volut.
If the attack on the US Open Main Stadium was because of the crowd, then Volut, as a private branch, with at most a few hundred or thousand employees, is not of the same scale at all. It would make more sense if it were the Brooklyn CBD Mall.
In the live stream, some smart viewers had already noticed the repeated noise.
Just as everyone was sending bullet comments to ask questions.
[Art Requires Explosion: Ding ding ding—Time's up!]
In an instant, the previously blacked-out live stream suddenly flashed with light, and fortunately, Gu Ji was prepared, using his fingers to block the front camera. But the bomber quickly controlled the lens to swivel, and the screen showed the front seats of the taxi driver.
[Damn! Where is this? In a car?]
[The streamer acted so fast, wasn't he just around the stadium?]
[That was clearly a smokescreen deliberately released by the streamer. I've heard several sentences repeated!]
[This person is definitely not ordinary; his counter-reconnaissance awareness is too strong!]
[Why do I feel the streamer seems more like a criminal than the actual criminal!]
...
York looked at these bullet comments and couldn't help but draw a breath. He hadn't expected that the suspect, Baron, had already escaped his first blockade, and promptly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Nevia, the target suspect has already fled the scene by car. Leave one team to handle the explosion site, and have the rest rush to the outer perimeter to assist with the blockade!"
"Instant Crime Center, haven't you locked down the suspect's IP location yet?"
"The location has been locked and is being sent to the command center, but the terrorist's accomplice is very skilled. The Tik Company technical service department currently says they can't stop the live stream yet; they need more time!"
York didn't care about the latter half of the sentence, snapping his fingers with his left hand.
He turned around and shouted to the technical team.
"Immediately send the location to Deputy Chief Nevia, let the helicopter surveillance team lock onto the target suspect according to the location, and make sure to contain them within the Flushing area. I want to see all the terrorists in the interrogation room by noon!!"
"Yes!!"
At the US Open Main Stadium, Nevia picked up the walkie-talkie, ordering the officers to quickly withdraw.
The media, who were interviewing fan witnesses nearby, also noticed the police withdrawal and immediately sensed something was wrong.
Meanwhile, journalists backed by major corporations had already received information from all sides that the police had identified the target suspect and were implementing a regional lockdown.
"Stop! Stop quickly!!"
Inside the taxi, seeing his own location exposed, Gu Ji couldn't bother to keep a low profile anymore, slapping the headrest of the taxi driver and shouting.
But the driver didn't understand the situation, thinking the passenger was deliberately causing trouble:
"Hey! You little brat, stop slapping my seat! Do you want to get beaten up?"
"Stop the car now!"
Gu Ji reached over and grabbed the driver's arm.
The driver was taken aback, instinctively pulling up the handbrake, screeching the car to a sudden stop, angrily getting out, ready to drag Gu Ji out for a good lesson.
But who would have thought that as soon as he left the car door.
Gu Ji slipped through like an eel, darting from the back seat to the driver's seat, and released the handbrake.
Seeing this, the driver was completely stunned, unable to believe that in broad daylight someone would steal a car, and a young white man at that.
Just as he prepared to yank open the car door, Gu Ji floored the gas pedal.
The rear tires screeched in a burn, and the 4.3-liter American V8 engine roared into motion, almost throwing the driver out!
[The streamer stole a car?]
[Awesome! An American-style chase is about to begin!]
[Basically GG, once the police have the streamer's location, the reconnaissance helicopter will track and lock the position the whole time, impossible to escape the police blockade!]
[Didn't expect the streamer to be finally defeated by exposing his location, if it weren't for that, I feel New York Police Department wouldn't have caught him!]
[Why did the screen go black again, did the streamer stuff the phone in his pocket?]
...
Gu Ji had just driven out less than 50 meters when the sound of helicopter rotors spinning rapidly sounded above him, a blue-and-white police Bell 412EPX helicopter hovering just behind the car.
