The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 318 Confirming the suspect and finding the antidote

First of all, exclude the conspicuous rows of bottles and cans on the shelf, those things with yellow and black biohazard marks, even if you open them, you can't tell their true ingredients.

Unobtrusive, unexpected, and readily available in an emergency, Jack's eyes swept over the odds and ends on the table one by one, including fountain pens, and he dismantled all the things that might serve as containers.

In the end, his eyes fell on the corpse on the ground, and he was a little dizzy. He should give priority to checking the belongings of the deceased.

"Garcia, help me check, does Nichols' medical records show that he has asthma or similar respiratory diseases?"

"No, he is in good health, not even high blood pressure." Garcia's reply came quickly from the intercom.

"It's done, I think we have found the 'antidote'." Jack showed Dr. Kimura the nebulizing respirator in his hand.

At the same time, Dr. Kimura also made new discoveries.

"The 'notes' you showed me are like a draft of a thesis, which contains references and a table of contents, and there are some notes written in red pen on the side, as if the teacher is revising the thesis."

"So Nichols is indeed instructing a student, and our previous thinking was correct." But Jack felt a little depressed immediately.

"However, Garcia has done the comparison before. The list of relevant personnel in the bookstore does not involve biochemistry or microbiology. The bookstore also mainly sells literature and first-edition old books."

How can people check this paper without signing it first?
"No no, let me finish. I don't think this paper was written by a natural science or biology student. It's a social science paper with a lot of chapters on triage and mobile emergency rooms. "

Dr. Kimura showed several pages of relevant content in front of Jack, and some familiar sentences came into his eyes.

"It's a pity that this country is unprepared. Every household must be equipped with at least two months' dose of ciprofloxacin. Hospitals need to establish purification departments with a biosafety level of four."

A flash of light flashed in Jack's mind. Their thinking was limited to science and engineering students, but what if the guy who made trouble was a damn liberal arts student.

"Garcia, conduct another cross-search on the lists of social science, urban planning management, public policy-related students and bookstore-related personnel of all local universities."

Not long after, Garcia's excited answer came from the intercom.

"Bingo, got you, there's a guy named Chad Brown, at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy, the same Chad Brown who used to be the bookstore clerk."

"That's him!" Jack handed the respirator to Dr. Kimura.

"I'll leave it to you, Doctor. Analyze the ingredients of the medicine as soon as possible. The four patients may still be saved."

He quickly walked out of the laboratory and entered the cleaning tent.

When Jack rushed back to the command center with Hotchner who was waiting outside, Garcia also sent Chad Brown's detailed information.

When Jiejie sent the sorted materials into the conference room, General Whitworth also walked in with a copy of the materials.

"Chad Brown has been studying for a doctorate at the University of Maryland School of Public Policy on and off for five years. He currently has no stable job and his ex-girlfriend has applied for a personal restraining order against him."

"Because I was arrested twice for participating in the protest rally in Washington, I applied for the general assistant position of Fort Detrick four times, but was rejected." As soon as Jie Jie finished speaking, General Whitworth opened the data of.

"This is Chad Brown's job application. The reason for the rejection is that he failed the mental evaluation. The psychologist believed that his thoughts were too radical and his mental state was very unstable."

General Whitworth's face showed a little rejoicing.

"He had a strong obsession with entering Fort Detrick, and he was eager for a sense of recognition, so he found Nichols." Jiejie continued.

"I contacted his thesis advisor. In his proposal report, he talked about how to easily create anthrax. I believe it was because of this similar point of view that he and Dr. Nichols hit it off."

"And Chad Brown's sister, I just talked to her, they haven't spoken in years, but his sister talked about Jingshan Park, where he once proposed to a girl and was rejected. "

"Then he worked in a bookstore to earn tuition to support his studies, but he was eventually fired by his boss because he often had disputes with customers."

"So the bookstore and the park mean rejection to him, and this is the motivation." Hochner said and dialed Emily's phone. "Rosie and Emily should be at his house now."

"I was about to call you, but I haven't caught anyone, but I think I figured out how Chad Brown planned to release anthrax. He put the powder into a light bulb, and if it shattered on the ground, it would be the equivalent of an anthrax bomb. .”

Emily spoke very quickly on the phone, "I found the light bulb fragments used for testing in the trash can, and Rosie also found a marked subway line map."

"So what shall we do next?" Jiejie asked anxiously.

General Whitworth raised a finger to signal for everyone to be quiet, then made a call, asked a few words in a low voice, and then hung up with a serious face.

"Dr. Nichols was commissioned by the Senate to write a classified study modeling an anthrax attack on the Washington subway system."

"He specifically pointed out that the main line is the red line, which is the most vulnerable to attack. The wind in the tunnel is strong, the flow of people is the largest, and the lethality is the most significant."

"I recommend immediately arranging personnel at all stations on the main line to monitor closely."

Hotchner pondered for a moment, then shook his head and objected, "We can immediately arrange surveillance at the subway station, but I don't think his target is the main line of the subway."

General Whitworth, who had already shown some friendliness to the BAU team, couldn't help blowing his beard.

"You said that he and Nichols agreed with each other and copied his ideas. Didn't he want to use this to prove the theory?"

"We also said that the location he chose had potential meaning for him, and now we've found that, it's a sense of rejection and negation."

Hotchina looked at the general seriously, and said in a very affirmative tone, "There is another place where he has been rejected again and again. Where is that?"

"It's Fort Detrick!" Rosie shouted across the phone.

"There is no way he could get in," retorted General Whitworth loudly. "Not even a fly could get in without my consent."
