Chapter 1096: too much doubt

In order to allow Li Changheng to focus most of his energy on how to make money and how to give their group of nobles a chance to make a fortune.

Therefore, when Mountbatten waited for several big nobles to be in the car, he had already discussed to intervene in this matter.

Some people even thought that if they could help, they might get more benefits from Li Changheng.

As soon as he got into the car with Annie, the entire Manhattan suddenly fell into darkness, and the guards and Knight Shield instantly pulled out their guns and surrounded Li Changheng's car.

Fortunately, within 5 seconds, the surrounding power was restored again.

As soon as the power was restored, Barney and the trenches hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to notify the guards and the soldiers who came to support them to get on the bus.

Intended to leave Manhattan quickly, escorted by a dozen military vehicles with machine guns.

As for a large number of police forces, dozens of teams have been divided to protect the big brothers who just left.

Or be transferred to the site of the explosion to rescue the injured and maintain law and order.

Thinking of something, Li Changheng directly interrupted Barney's order.

Manhattan does experience power outages several times a year. After all, outages are normal due to aging equipment, overhauls, and accidents.

But Li Changheng didn't believe it. The power outage for 5 seconds, and then the power was restored after 5 seconds, would be caused by the power company's overhaul or the short circuit of the power equipment.

Thinking about it for a while, it feels more like someone deliberately pulled the switch, and then quickly restored the power, most likely to disable some kind of large equipment.

Or, a bank vault.

Thinking of the vault at Citi's headquarters, which would automatically activate the building's generator after a power outage, Li Changheng suddenly felt that his suspicions that there were other things behind the explosion were likely to be true.

Of course, he also wondered if someone really wanted to paralyze the police communication tower in Manhattan, or other large communication equipment.

Moreover, sooner or later, just as he was about to leave the Metropolitan Theater, Li Changheng had to wonder if anyone around him was watching the motorcade's every move.

And on the way home, will there be someone waiting for him to throw himself in the net?

Even, he was a little fortunate at this time that he didn't take the helicopter home just now.

Many police, military communications equipment, radar stations and other places will use generators after a power outage.

But if the public and stable power is restored quickly, it will not take a minute or two to adjust it.

And this gave the unknown forces a time lag.

Sitting in the car and thinking for a while, Li Changheng quickly decided, "Go to the Wallandolph Hotel, we won't be going back tonight."

It takes about 40 minutes to get back to my home on Long Island from Manhattan, even if there is no traffic jam.

With such a long journey, the ghost knows what to expect on the way, so it is better to stay in a luxury hotel only 3,400 meters away from the theater for one night.

In the daytime, traps such as ambush or encirclement will be ineffective with a large number of ordinary people and patrolling police.

And living in the hotel, there are more than 200 Knight Shield members, and a company of navy soldiers are protecting them. Even if dozens or hundreds of people attack, it is impossible to break through the defensive circle set up in the hotel in a short time.

Besides, you only need to hold on for ten minutes, and some people from the police and the FBI will come to support.

The process of checking into the hotel was very smooth. The whole hotel was booked, and the matter of instructing the hotel to change floors for the guests who had already checked in was also very smooth under the magic of money.

Li Changheng took Annie into the general suite, listening to the trenches and Barney arranging staff to guard the entrances, exits, and corridors.

After thinking that there was nothing missing, I turned on the TV and waited for the people from Lianmei Pictures to come over and discuss whether to postpone the release of the movie.

I saw that most of the channels were broadcasting news related to the explosion.

To Li Changheng's surprise, a chubby, slow-talking fat man was being called a hero by reporters and uninjured survivors.

After listening for a while, Li Changheng and Annie, plus Barney and the trenches, understood.

Richard Wilton, a middle-aged man in his 30s, was the park security guard who discovered the bomb in advance tonight, reported it, and cooperated with the police on the scene to evacuate the crowd.

But Li Changheng was not like Annie, who quickly thought Richard was a hero, but after hearing the reporter describe Richard Wilton's personal information.

To the trenches, "Let the DEA and Lao Tu and Mike Corleone check this guy out."

Trenches didn't ask much about the reason, just stood up and went to make a phone call.

And Annie asked with a puzzled face, "No way, dear, Richard Wilton is the security guard of the park, how could he have a problem?"

Li Changheng was not sure whether his inference was correct, but he had always been very suspicious, so he decided to check it first.

Then he said to Annie with a serious expression, "If I remember correctly, last year, more than a dozen police officers in New York set fire to the police archives in order to destroy their evidence of collecting black money.

And last year's Texas Auto Drift race, where a firefighter set fire to the track.

The reason is that on the first day of the game, after the guy bet in the underground betting point and lost a lot of money, he heard that someone manipulated the ranking of the game, and he felt resentful and wanted to burn the stadium manager and the entire management to death. "

"This,,,."

Annie first gave an expression of 'how is this possible'.

Later, watching Richard's interview on the TV, he said humbly, "The credit is not only for him, but also for the police, nurses, medical staff and ordinary people involved in the rescue." .

Immediately, Annie found a reason to refute and said, "But Mr. Richard Wilton doesn't look like a bad person?"

Li Changheng held Annie's little hand helplessly, "According to Richard's personal information reported by the reporter.

Are fat people, 30-year-old unmarried, without a girlfriend, without a stable job all the year round, and living with their mother, are they considered an alternative in the American society? "

Annie stopped talking for a while~lightnovelpub.net~ It took a while before she muttered uncertainly, "You are discriminating."

Li Changheng laughed, of course he knew that his inference might indeed be discrimination.

With a smile, he continued to explain to Annie, "But the fact is that Richard, who often changes jobs, is either a park security guard, a school or office security guard.

Moreover, according to the information found by the reporter, Richard's volition and ideal is to be a police officer or a detective of other law enforcement agencies.

So I have to wonder if a person like him will make outrageous actions of self-directed and self-acted because he has no friends, has a very small social circle, is discriminated against by the people around him, and his ideals cannot be realized all the year round.

In order to be hired as a police officer by a police station after the incident. "

Annie is really speechless now.

In American society, people who don’t like to socialize, don’t fit in, don’t have girlfriends, and still live with their parents in their 30s are indeed different in the eyes of most people, even monsters with psychological problems.

Most importantly, why did Richard find that suspicious backpack hidden under a park bench?
