Chapter 1068 Sewers, Steam and Secret Lines

The sweet girl was hit by a glass shrapnel. The left half of her back, except for the part protected by the bulletproof vest, from her shoulder to her proud buttocks, was smashed into a bloody mess by the tempered glass slag, which looked extremely scary.

Hannah did not completely avoid the suicide drone, but she concealed her injury in the team communication in order not to distract the people downstairs.

In fact, Jack should have noticed it at the time, because it was very abnormal that Hannah did not provide support after occupying the sniper position.

But because he was distracted by the situation of the armored vehicle, he did not think about it in detail, let alone after seeing the remote-controlled bomb.

Fortunately, this is New York instead of Los Angeles, because it is cold and people wear a lot of clothes, and tempered glass will not form sharp angles like ordinary glass after shattering, so such injuries are just scary.

Although this is more terrible than a serious injury for a girl who loves beauty, Jiejie's cheek was injured before, and soon recovered as good as before or even better than before under the treatment of someone's so-called "secret recipe" circulated in the ancient oriental palace, so she was not too worried.

Jiejie and Alice accompanied Hannah to the hospital. Jack, who stayed at the scene, was still very angry, especially when the head of the international department, Jon Michaels, had the nerve to jump out and make comments.

Fortunately, this guy was still sober and did not try to drag the wanted criminal team who came to help into the water, but watching him desperately putting the blame on the NYPD was really infuriating.

Frank Reagan, who rushed to the scene in person, had a black face like the bottom of a pot. He didn't say a word the whole time and completely treated this guy as air.

Only after sending this guy away did he wave his hand to drive away all the entourage, and came to Jack who was standing at the entrance of the sewer and sulking, and handed him a cigar, "How big is our trouble?"

"Let your Ministry of Internal Affairs take action first." Jack waved his hand to refuse, he didn't have the habit of smoking cigars before the problem was solved.

Although theoretically only he could see the ESU team member escorting Zhang Mingjun out of the armored vehicle through the dissipating smoke, the three bodies in the car could not deceive people.

It's not terrible that the NYPD has a traitor, what's terrible is that this traitor executed his three brothers without hesitation.

"I will personally draft a report and submit it to the Ministry of Justice for explanation." Frank said in a deep voice.

Jack stared at the sewer outlet that was constantly emitting steam for a while, then shook his head, "Don't rush to draw conclusions, notify the CSI laboratory to come and collect evidence first, the most important thing is to find out the identities of those guys.

I will work hard for this case, you'd better go to the hospital to visit Danny, his condition is not good."

Hearing Jack talking about his eldest son, Director Frank's face suddenly couldn't hold it, "My people told me that Danny's life is not in danger, is it..."

Knowing that he misunderstood something, Jack quickly corrected himself, "Of course not, Danny was trapped in the car at the time, watching those things happen, and his dead colleagues were lying next to him. It is very likely that he will have some psychological problems."

Jack said it a little euphemistically, but he actually discovered that Danny had mild PTSD a long time ago, which should be caused by some experiences during his service.

But this guy always looks like a tough guy in front of others, and the situation is not serious, so he didn't care much. After all, who in modern times doesn't have some psychological problems.

Frank hesitated for a moment, looked at the group of attendants he brought with him who were looking at this place eagerly, hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I will go to see him later."

"If it doesn't work, let Linda talk to him." Jack hesitated for a moment and still made a suggestion. Frank advocated a paternalistic education. Although it was a more open-minded one, the one with the highest emotional intelligence in the family was still Danny's wife Linda.

At this time, a senior police officer who came with Frank finally couldn't help but step forward after putting down the phone, "Sir, the municipal technicians said that the steam pressure in the sewer here is very unstable. You'd better stay away from the explosion site."

There are many urban legends about New York's sewers. In addition to the so-called "conscience of the city" in the mouths of Dongda experts who have been carefully cultivated through remote breeding, crocodiles and turtles are the most famous.

The saying that there are crocodiles in New York's sewers is more widely circulated than the many versions of the legend of human meat buns in major metropolitan areas of Dongda.

As for the turtles, they naturally refer to the famous comic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Unfortunately, this world should not have integrated American comics, otherwise the four pizza-loving guys would have appeared in the subsequent plot.

For most people who know this country through Hollywood movies, the scene of the hot air from the manhole lifting up the skirt of a beautiful lady should be impressive.

Edison Company began to build steam pipelines underground in New York City as early as 1882 in the 19th century. Under the current Manhattan Island, there is still a complex steam pipeline of 169 kilometers in operation.

These steams are used by hospitals for high-temperature disinfection and provide heating for nearly 100,000 households in winter, including the luxurious penthouse apartment that Rossi lent to Jack.

So Jack didn't want to chase, but after the explosion caused the sinking road surface to break the steam pipeline in the sewer, he basically ended up being scalded into a pig's head.

As for changing the sewer entrance to track, sorry, the drawings of New York City's sewers and underground pipelines are both confidential documents and cultural relics with a history of hundreds of years.

Jack could not gain anything except getting himself dirty and smelly if he entered the complex and ancient underground system without careful planning and preparation.

Now the only hope is to get some clues by blocking and checking various traffic arteries, but he also has no hope for this.

Since the other party can bribe the ESU special police, obtain the route of the FBI escorting the criminals, and prepare RPG, professional suicide drones and large-yield explosives in advance without triggering the ATF warning, they should not make any mistakes in the evacuation plan.

ATF (Agency of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is an extremely powerful federal law enforcement unit in the United States, with a large number of undercovers and informants in important cities such as New York.

The daily intelligence exchange between the FBI and ATF is very frequent. If there is any movement on the road, Jack and his team must have known it from the bulletin.

This shows that the weapons and equipment used on the scene, and even the sources of the explosives that were finally detonated, are extremely secret. It is impossible to purchase them locally, but to be transported in through an unknown secret route.

Since this secret route can transport so many dangerous goods, it may also be able to secretly transport people out.
