Gu Ji slapped his forehead, without thinking, turned his head and jumped off the high platform.

Passing by the stands.

The ground was strewn with hats, coats, popcorn, fries, and other miscellaneous items, all dropped by the audience in their hurry to escape.

He guessed the police had likely used the purple clothes to lock down the area, finding his figure in the surveillance from 711, so this outfit couldn’t be used anymore.

Therefore, Gu Ji glanced at the surveillance location, took off the cleaning jacket and hat, and replaced them with a denim blue baseball cap and a black and white baseball jacket.

Thanks to the bomber detonating the LED TV support rack.

The security guards in the evacuation passage had long been scared away from the stadium; after all, they hadn’t received special training and were afraid of getting hurt.

Successfully ran out of the main arena.

Almost everyone in Flushing Park was drawn over, not just the audience and tourists, but also the keen-sensed media. The noisy crowd swayed left and right like algae in the deep sea, stretching out as far as the eye could see.

Gu Ji calmly and confidently made his way through the crowd, casually taking out “Baron”‘s phone to record the surrounding noise.

By the roadside, a young man on a bicycle was standing nearby, watching the excitement. He resisted the impulse to snatch the bike and flee.

Although, in a few minutes, his location would be exposed anyway.

But attracting attention now and being pursued later made a big difference in the difficulty of fleeing.

Don’t forget, he hadn’t yet left the police’s encirclement.

Gu Ji vaguely remembered a crime case of a serious wanted criminal, Mr. Zhou, mentioned in a university investigation course.

This criminal had exceptional anti-detection capabilities and had evaded capture several times. Besides carefully selecting crime locations, one critical point was:

The escape method!

After committing a crime, Mr. Zhou often left the crime scene walking or jogging without using any transportation. Only after some time had passed would he opt for a taxi or motorbike ride.

The conclusion given by the investigation teacher at the time was:

After committing a crime, witnesses at the scene are shocked, their memories become inaccurate, and the criminal blending into the crowd reduces the number of witnesses, making it harder for them to identify him.

If he directly uses transportation, the vehicle becomes an easily identifiable target. A one-to-one relationship forms between the criminal and the driver, leaving a deeper impression on the driver. The criminal leaves the crime scene on foot, destroys evidence along the way, and then switches to using transportation, reducing suspicion.

Gu Ji didn’t want to expose his facial features now.

He jogged away from Flushing Park.

He didn’t expect that just as he reached the grassy area near the park’s entrance, police cars were pouring in from the streets and alleys along the avenue one after another.

Under Commander Nevia’s onsite deployment, the vehicles began occupying key passageways, preparing to lock down the area. Police officers got out of their cars, pulling slides, armed and ready, waiting in place.

“Looks like they’re determined to catch me.”

Gu Ji muttered to himself.

Indeed, after receiving the bomb threat, the police would certainly lock down this area immediately for inspection; if they were smart, they’d combine it with live audio broadcasts until they locked onto him.

Queens North Command Center.

Mr. York was tensely staring at dozens of screens, which displayed surveillance footage from police car cameras and intersections.

Chaotic sounds rose and fell, with telephone ringing, walkie-talkie calls, and dispatcher commands echoing in his ears.

He never expected that the remote-controlled bomb would be dismantled without damage by the target suspect, and from the interaction between the suspect and the bomber, it could be inferred that the former’s identity wasn’t simple either.

[Did the bomb explode?]

[Didn’t play fair? Wasn’t the broadcaster supposed to have dismantled the bomb? Why was it still detonated?]

[Didn’t you all hear the sound of walking? The broadcaster should be alive!]

[Can the broadcaster say something? Everyone is worried about your safety!]

[I guess he’s busy escaping right now!]

[Are the police watching the broadcast? Why don’t they cooperate with the broadcaster?]

[It’s simple, the broadcaster also has a bomb on him. For public safety, the police must first control him!]

…

There was a sentence in there that struck a chord with York.

No matter the stance of the suspect named “Baron,” the bomb he carried remained a point of danger.

Now the entire police force in Queens North was fully operational, the first batch of officers had already sealed the park, and the second was setting up roadblocks at various strategic points. As long as he dared to show his face, he would be instantly surrounded by a large number of officers.

“Everyone stand in place for inspection!”

“Unrelated personnel hurry up and leave! This area is already sealed off…”

“Hello to my friends in the online media, this is Liam, a journalist from New York United News, bringing you a frontline report on the terrorist bombing attack. The position to my left is where the explosion happened…”

The area around the park was filled with various noises, especially the police sirens and media reporters, which were critical factors easily revealing his position.

Fortunately, Gu Ji had recorded the crowd noise in advance, placing both phones in the same pocket, using the former to mask the surrounding environment.

However, he was also very aware that those with a high sensitivity to investigation would quickly notice the differences.

Gu Ji certainly didn’t want to be caught in a trap.

The police could find their way there at any moment; he didn’t dare linger too long in one place. Continuing down the main avenue was a sure dead end.
