Chapter 200: Red Queen Press Conference
The incident happened right in front of a TV station, and reporters showed up faster than the NYPD.
He was the same talk show host as before, and he decisively adopted the live broadcast format!
What's this?
This is the hot spot, I’m going to become famous soon!
When Piero saw the TV station's security guard also appear with a gun, he immediately began to accuse in front of the camera.
"If it weren't for the bodyguard my boss assigned to me, I would be dead! Look! The bullet just grazed here. Oh my god, I was so close to death!"
Piero roared at the camera, pointing at the blood on his face.
At this time, the reporter also saw the figure who had subdued the killer.
He looked like a homeless man, no wonder he didn't attract any attention at first.
The reporter pretended to be reasonable and said
"Oh, Professor Piero is more of an assumption. Let's listen to what this side says. Sir, you stopped the murderer, right?"
The reporter came with the photographer and Piero, and Piero also wanted to thank them properly.
"Well, I received an order. We can't let Professor Piero's death put the blame on us . I have been secretly protecting him for many days."
Junichiro said this calmly as he transformed into a homeless man's new body.
However, although he is a repressed person, he is actually quite active inside. This body is so cool. It is so strong after being strengthened. But it feels a bit weird, as if something is missing.
"Oh, your boss is really foresighted. Do you think this assassin could be from Umbrella Corporation?"
The reporter said without hesitation that since things have come to this, of course he dares to say anything.
"So, this is what our company is worried about. I am an instructor at Umbrella Security Company. We don't have such useless students."
Piero: ? ?
reporter:??
security guard:??
They never expected to get this kind of reply!
The person protecting Professor Piero is actually an instructor of Umbrella Security? !
"Hey, are you from Umbrella Security Company?"
Piero also seemed a little unbelievable.
"What else? If you were to die, who would be the first person to suspect?"
Junichiro said with a cold look on his face.
Piero was assassinated right after the show. Who was the murderer? Of course, it was the Umbrella Corporation that Piero accused on the show!
After figuring out the problem, Piero's face turned pale.
No wonder the boss reminded me to be careful and reminded me that I could say this on the show!
But who would have thought that the person who wanted to kill him in the end was actually his boss? !
Yes, I am no longer of any use, and only my death can maximize my value...
Piero, who understood the problem, couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Now I hope you can find out who is behind the scenes from the killer's mouth. If he wrongly accuses our company, I hope you can have some judgment and conduct a thorough investigation. We at Umbrella do not accept slander. If it is true, we will turn the slander into reality. This is a reminder and also a kind advice."
With the sound of "woo-woo-woo", the NYPD car arrived and several detectives got out.
After understanding the situation, several agents prepared to take everyone back, including Junichiro.
"No problem, but please protect Mr. Piero. I'm afraid I won't be able to help him in the police car."
Junichiro frowned but nodded.
"Hahaha, don't worry, you are saving people, you are a hero, it's okay, no one can hurt the people under the protection of our NYPD, no one!"
A fat agent said in a high-profile manner, and at the same time hinted to the reporter to bring the footage over.
Of course, he wouldn't mind this kind of convenient publicity , and then Junichiro got into the police car first.
But just as Junichiro got on the car,
Piero's head exploded like a watermelon, and blood splattered all over the ground...
…
In the distance, Cheng Xue chewed gum, swiftly put away the sniper rifle, and then with a few leaps, she left the sniper point along the predetermined trajectory.
Are you kidding me? Can putting the blame on Umbrella really save you?
Now that I have saved him, I must return it!
It's even...
…
At the crime scene, the fat black agent who had just been talking big was now completely numb. With the sound of sniper rifles coming late, his first choice was to hide behind a car, then squat down and keep calling for support loudly into the walkie-talkie.
The reporters on the other side were also fearless and filmed everything with excitement on their faces!
They're broadcasting this live all the time!
Make a fortune, make a fortune!
At this time, Junichiro also quickly got out of the car, hid behind the car, looked at the body in front of him and said quickly
"It's a Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle. There's no point hiding behind a car. We can just shoot through it. The target is between 700 and 900 meters away. Inform your partners to lock on to the relevant position and don't let anyone escape."
The NYPD is a very powerful organization and will not easily follow such "suggestions".
But after comparing the gap between the two sides, the fat black agent quickly spoke into the walkie-talkie, and then crawled into the TV station like Junichiro.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the sniper point and some clues were found at the approximate distance, but there was no trace of the sniper.
Judging from the clothing fibers hanging at the scene, the sniper and the previous killer were wearing the same coat, so they were probably together...
…
This is a live broadcast!
Although shootings are frequent, there are even more than a thousand records of their agents firing their own weapons in one year!
If it’s not a sensitive area and the victims are not a special group, it won’t even make the news.
But this time it’s a live broadcast after all!
Or just after a live talk show with good ratings was finished, the guest was assassinated by a killer.
Even in the first assassination attempt, he was saved by bodyguards in the dark.
The person who was rescued turned out to be Umbrella, which was originally considered the most suspicious.
It's really been a roller coaster ride.
"No one can hurt those under the protection of our NYPD, no one!"
The agent's words became completely popular at this time and attracted a lot of abuse.
"Originally, they were all safe under the protection of professionals, but you guys stuck them in the car!"
"Did you see the other party's reaction? He made a judgment at the fastest speed and gave a warning, but he still couldn't catch the person?"
"What a stupid teammate!"
"Professor Piero: Originally, I could have survived."
"Did you notice that someone wanted to put a hoodwink on Umbrella? But they themselves probably didn't expect that Umbrella would arrange bodyguards to the scene."
"Yes, the sniper didn't know the identity of the bodyguard, so he just went ahead and killed him."
"If the TV station hadn't been broadcasting live, and if the Umbrella bodyguard hadn't been there, I'm afraid they would have been wrongly accused!"
"Yes, after I learned of Professor Piero's death, the first company I suspected was Umbrella ."
"Oh my god, this is too dark. Someone has to take the blame for murder. Who did it?"
"There are too many possibilities. Anything that has been fueling the flames recently is possible."
“…”
A famous professor was assassinated on live broadcast! In front of the NYPD! And he was just rescued by Umbrella not long ago!
This immediately caused an uproar and even a riot.
Once we had an excuse, we immediately started a zero-dollar shopping frenzy. We want to support Professor Piero and Umbrella Corporation.
This luxury store is likely the mastermind behind the incident.
This sudden change caught all parties who had been sharpening their knives behind the scenes, ready to take advantage of the Umbrella Corporation's excuses to launch an attack, off guard.
No way?
Can you bounce back?
What is this operation?
All the plagiarized articles that had been prepared were withdrawn at this time and turned into other articles. They also took the opportunity to expose some scandals and gossip to distract attention.
But after all, this incident had such a huge impact that Umbrella itself used the TT platform to fight back without hesitation. This isn't us abusing the power in our hands. This is just us clearing the wronged accusation. Isn't that too much?
Moreover, the TV station that was broadcasting the live event also directly searched all the cameras nearby. Although the density of large and beautiful cameras was very low, there were still some near the TV station, and the entire process was broadcast directly from the surveillance perspective.
It can be seen that the Umbrella instructor disguised as a homeless man followed Professor Piero throughout the whole process. Although he looked lazy, with the preconceived impression, it can be clearly seen that his peripheral vision swept over all the people nearby, appearing extremely professional.
After Piero entered the TV station's live broadcast, he hid himself in the alley next to it and climbed up to the radio station from the alley!
It turns out that people are protecting each other when they are inside the radio station!
When Piero came out, he also came out one step ahead and waited in the alley, still constantly looking at the newcomer passing by. Then when the killer reached into his arms, he immediately stared at him vigilantly, and suddenly burst out with strength like a cheetah, preventing the tragedy at the critical moment!
This level of professionalism, this speed of reaction and strength really makes people feel like watching a blockbuster movie.
There were also slow-motion playback and explanations from two professional ace bodyguards, all of which received the highest praise.
"I can only say that this is Umbrella Corporation. I can't do this."
"People may have forgotten that this is actually a security company."
It can be said that this is the best live advertisement!
For a time, Umbrella Security's normal business increased a lot.
While the heat here was at its highest, the launch conference of Umbrella Corporation's new product "Red Queen" came.
This time, even some secret forces that dislike Umbrella are frantically promoting this press conference, hoping to divert attention and firepower.
However, at the beginning of the press conference, 'Jess' mentioned Dr. Piero.
"Our company also feels deeply sorry for Dr. Piero's death. We had foreseen it, but we still failed to save him. Although Dr. Piero did make mistakes, his life's achievements are undeniable."
Then, with the help of Piero, Jace did not talk about the "Red Queen" first, but talked about other academic fraud issues and listed them one by one directly on the big screen.
In January this year, Japanese professor Haruko Obokata proposed cultivating STAP omnipotent cells that can differentiate into a variety of cells in a weak acid environment.
This paper also caused a sensation, and some Japanese netizens even commented that Professor Haruko Obokata was the Marie Curie of the East.
But unfortunately, it’s fake.
In addition, the instrument in the hands of Elizabeth Holmes, a beautiful genius who is regarded as the female version of Steve Jobs, which claims to be able to detect hundreds of indicators with a drop of blood, is also fake...
“…We are not targeting Professor Piero. We are targeting all those who have been shielded for academic fraud. When they were shielded, a large number of vulnerable groups were discriminated against and their academic achievements could not be published. We want to change this phenomenon!”
At this point, Jace paused, then smiled and said
"However, where there are people, there will be bias, positions, preconceived notions, and stereotypes, so as long as there are human reviewers, this is difficult to avoid. The 'Red Queen' we released today can achieve this, being impartial and fair.
"Perhaps Red Queen cannot complete the final review and peer review, but it can achieve efficiency and fairness in the initial review that no human can achieve..."
