Chapter 165 FBI
A building at the University of Chicago's School of Public Policy is full of police officers.

The police searched carefully room by room.Although the gunmen were not found, they managed to drive some uninformed teachers and students out of the classroom.So teachers and students are still retreating outside in an endless stream.

Against the flow of people, a group of black suits entered the teaching building from the side door.

Just passing through the door, Chen Quan saw a staircase on the right.Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu glanced at each other, turned and left, and climbed up.

A team of FBI continued to advance along the corridor to the depths of the teaching building. No one noticed the two little tails that suddenly appeared and then disappeared behind them.

Because the shooting happened at a seminar attended by numerous internationally renowned scholars, it had an immediate and huge impact.Embassies and consulates in many countries have called to inquire, express concern, or protest.

In addition to the police system at all levels, the FBI also sent people to participate in the investigation.

"I heard the shooter has escaped?"

In the elevator room, the black detective pressed the elevator button impatiently.

"Yes. Everyone rushed out at that time, and the school police couldn't stop them at all."

Captain Walter nodded. "This shooting is really strange. The gunman dared to shoot in full view, and the only person injured was a photographer!"

"Yes. Did the shooter target some reporter?"

A white detective guessed. "Or it doesn't make sense at all! Those physicists have just arrived. Besides, what's the point of shooting a scientist who studies pure theory?"

"I think it's very likely that the shooter wasn't targeting anyone, he was actually coming at us!" another detective said.

"why?"

"He was demonstrating against us! There were policemen present at the time. He actually fired in front of all the policemen and the mass media!

His purpose is not to hurt people!In fact, he didn't really hurt anyone! "

"You're not right. At least the timing isn't right."

Captain Walter shook his head. "He was in ambush on the rooftop first, and the reporters and policemen appeared later. No one can know that there is a big news in an ordinary technology seminar."

"Then, who is committing the crime? Who is the target of the crime?"

"I can't tell!"

Walter sighed. "There is too little information, let's discuss it after seeing it on the ground."

Several people were discussing, when there was a ding, the door of the elevator opened.

Taking the elevator, several people came to the fourth floor and climbed another flight of stairs before reaching the rooftop.

The place where the sniper was found has been completely isolated by yellow tape.Personnel from different police stations walked up and down on the rooftop.

"It's a bit far from the target site!" Captain Walter walked to the cement fence and looked into the distance.

It may be that pedestrians on the street will find out that the gunman did not choose the best position facing the street, but retreated a short distance along the side wall.Due to the distance and the shade of the trees, except for the buildings, people and cars on 59th Street could not be seen clearly.

"Yes. It is estimated that he searched for a long time before finding this place, not that corner, which is the closest corner to the opposite side."

The white agent gestured to the corner of the platform, following his gaze, everyone turned their heads.It turned out that there were two young students looking out at the corner facing the street.

"Who are you? This place is blocked, and no one is allowed to approach."

Just as they were about to act, a civilian policewoman greeted them.

The formal attire of the two of Chen Quan made people feel good.In addition, the face of the Chinese is also a bonus item. Although it is not stated explicitly, the police will unconsciously lower their level of alert when they see a Chinese.Not to mention, there is a young and beautiful Qu Yanqiu beside Chen Quan.

"We are the victims, that's where the gunman shot us just now."

Chen Quan pointed to the enclosed area.

"Oh really?"

Several policemen around heard the sound and immediately surrounded him.Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Why did they kill you?"

"I don't know. But the shots just now were indeed aimed at us."

Chen Quan retreated to the edge of the roof and pointed at the opposite side from afar. "Did you see the trash can over there? We were lying there just now."

"You don't know why he shot? Just because you're laying there, you think someone is going to kill you?"

Hearing this sentence, the policemen who were still in high spirits basically lost interest.Because the views of Chen and Qu were applicable to everyone present at that time.

"May I ask your names, are you students here?"

The policewoman was not too disappointed, she took out a pen and paper, ready to record.

"No, we are attending the seminar. I just published a paper at the conference." Chen Quan took off the temporary pass with a photo on his chest and handed it over.

"I'm sorry, but we have taken over the case."

Walter walked up to several policemen and held up the ID in his hand. "FBI."

"Okay." The policewoman shrugged and stepped aside.

Although the jurisdiction of the case is still controversial, this shooting is different from the past, with too many famous international scholars and journalists.

Dare to commit crimes in full view, behind the shooter, there is either a huge secret or a huge power.

Someone was willing to take over, but the police were too happy to be happy, so soon there were only a few men in suits left beside Chen Quan and the two of them.

"Hi, Mr. Chen, Ms. Qu."

The FBI captain held out his hand. "My name is Walter, Walter Smith. Nice to meet you."

"you know me?"

"I didn't know him just now, but now I do. He is from the mysterious East, a genius inventor, and a physicist." Walter's eyes were full of curiosity. "Your thesis has already caused a sensation in the world."

"is it?"

"Of course. Otherwise, those gunmen wouldn't move so fast."

"You mean, they killed me because of the theory just proposed?"

Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu were very surprised. "It's only been a few hours."

"unclear"

Walter shrugged. "I can't see any other reason at the moment. You just arrived in America, and after you arrived, you only participated in such a meeting."

Compared with other police officers, this Walter is obviously very familiar with Chen Quan and the two, and he believes in their judgments more.

"Do you have any clues about the murderer?" Qu Yanqiu asked.

"We just arrived too." Walter turned around and waved, calling over the policewoman who had stopped Chen Quan and the others earlier. "Let me introduce the situation."

"Can you?" the policewoman asked back.

"Yes." Hua Te nodded. "I hope this information will help our guests recall something useful."

"The shooter is about 1.75 tall, Italian, and wearing sky blue work clothes. He is in the name of maintenance." The policewoman kept flipping through her notebook. ".According to the clues left at the scene, the gunman fired a total of three shots."

"Is there any clue about the identity of the gunman?" Walter asked.

"Not yet. He had already left when we arrived. As you can see, when the gunshots rang out, the people in the building ran out, and we couldn't stop them. And as long as he runs into the public housing area, the clues will come out." broken."

Next to the University of Chicago is a black gathering place, and the security is very poor.Even the heavily armed police did not dare to go in alone.

The law and order in Chicago is just that bad.

Of course, she did not say a subtext that in the face of such emergencies, the police will focus on investigating black groups.So the white gunman was given a chance to escape.

"Didn't there be any valuable clues left at the scene? He ran away in such a short time." Other FBIs helped to ask.

"A lot of things are left behind, including the guns used for shooting." The policewoman said as she lifted the yellow tape to guide everyone into the closed area.

Chen Quan and two followed a group of FBI, and walked carefully into the area with white circles everywhere.In the middle of each white circle, there are either strange parts or scraps of paper.

"He's right here, shooting."

The policewoman pointed to the long gun equipped with binoculars on the concrete platform. "If he is really targeting you, then this shooter is definitely not a professional shooter."

"why?"

Walter was interested.This policewoman has her own opinions.

"This M24 has an effective range of 1 kilometer, and it is only about 500 meters away from the target location. Therefore, logically, there should be no misses, at least not three shots, and nothing will be hit."

M24 is a standard weapon officially installed by the American army, and its performance is highly respected.

"In addition, if he really wants to shoot you, since the viewing angle is condescending, even if you lie on the ground, he will have many opportunities." Wearing gloves, the policewoman pushed the M24 scope to everyone. "Look at it from here, and you'll understand what I'm talking about."

"Well, it's true."

Several FBIs took turns to observe with the scope.

Although Chen Quan didn't understand anything, he wanted to come forward to see what was new, but he was stopped.

"Is it because the first gunshot alarmed the people in the building, and after the next few shots, he was anxious to escape? So the shot missed?"

"Maybe. Who knows?"

The policewoman shrugged.

"Well, amateur gunmen, standard weapons, what does this represent?"

Discussions continued between several FBIs. "Logically, if the first shot was missed, shouldn't he run away immediately? Maybe Dr. Chen wasn't the target of the shooter at all? After all, there were so many people at the scene, but Dr. Chen provided a good clue. We should check it out, Dr. Chen Nearby, who else was there at the time, who was closest to that dumpster."

Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu became completely bystanders, unable to get in a word.

"Besides the gun, he left this."

The policewoman was carrying a closed transparent plastic bag with a folded one dollar inside.
