Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 89: Darkness Under the Lamp
Chapter Subtitle: Professional Terrorists vs. Amateur Federal Agents
In the original timeline, the culprit behind the 1920 Wall Street explosion was never caught, and it was not even clear whether it was done by anarchists or other left-wing radical organizations, because no one came forward to admit it.
When the explosion occurred, a famous coal industry owner was sitting in the office of the Morgan Consortium. When he came out and was interviewed by reporters, he said very confidently that it was undoubtedly the work of radicals, and then all the newspapers reported it as such.
Of course, because at this time the Arabian Saints had not yet learned this trick. Ironically, they did not learn it from anarchists, but from their sworn enemies, the Zionists.
So if the anarchists don't take the blame for the Wall Street BOOM, there's really no one else who should take it.
But it's not to say that there were no clues pointing to anarchists. At the same time as the explosion, a postman found five pieces of paper in a mailbox two or three blocks away. There were a few lines of crudely printed words on them, and there were many spelling errors:
remember
We will never again
Bear
Release political prisoners
Otherwise you will all die.
United States - Anarchists

But this is a bit strange, because the bombing was planned very carefully. Even if the US government used all its strength, the source of the carriage, safe, explosives, etc. used by the criminals could not be traced. It was obviously done by a high-IQ criminal . Why would such a poor notice be left?
Of course, because the case has never been solved, these questions have become unsolved mysteries in history.
So our Master Yuan developed an inappropriate curiosity and used the name of the SCP Foundation to satisfy his desire for knowledge, but unfortunately he still got vague answers.
"By the way, Mr. Yuan said that each person would get one."
"Um, sorry, it's your turn."
Lindenwan also took a sip of coffee and asked slowly: "So, Mr. Yuan, can you tell me how you joined this organization?"
"Of course." Yuan Yan said calmly, "It's like this. On my way to the United States, I met a missionary from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormonism, named Willard Mitt Romney. To be honest, this should be a fake identity and a fake name.. "
"Like all missionaries, he was very enthusiastic to preach to me at first. But I told him that our Yuan family had believed in Seris Taoism for generations and that we could not become 'Christians', even if we could marry many wives. Then, he stopped preaching and started chatting with me about all sorts of things. After a few exchanges, we became good friends.. "
"Before we got off the ship at the west coast of the United States, he suddenly asked me if I was interested in joining a secret organization, and that I would receive subsidies after becoming a formal member. At the time, I thought he was joking, so I agreed without thinking."
"But I didn't expect that someone would come to me after I arrived in New York. After several training sessions, I became a Junior Investigator of the SCP Foundation."
Although our Master Yuan talked a lot, there was actually no substance. Well, there was a mysterious Mormon missionary who appeared and was called "Investigator".
But the other party couldn't find any truth or fault. To be honest, Yuan Yanshu's bookish aura was very convincing. This was the "bookish aura" he got from the "Hira Sutra". How could a mere mortal see through it?
"Okay, it's my turn. May I ask, Mr. Linden, why is your organization still in New York?"
Why don't you run away? Are you staying here to get yourself killed? I didn't expect this to happen. I just took it for granted that these anarchists should have left New York long ago.
The anarchist swordsman shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Our mission is not completed, so we have to stay here. Of course, we can't tell you our mission. Well, Mr. Yuan, what is the purpose of your SCP Foundation?"
Yuan Yanshu said very sincerely: "Let me repeat again, our Special Containment Procedures Foundation is committed to helping people who are doing just things all over the world."
The other party raised an eyebrow and said, "Standard Procedure for Foreign Object Containment Foundation?! Just cause?! This is really..."
Our Master Yuan spread his hands and said, "Okay, Mr. Linden. I don't know why it is called this name, and the so-called "justice" standard is not set by me. This time I will ask. Did you buy this store just to monitor me?"
Lindenwan touched his nose and said, "Well, this is actually a coincidence. When Vivian was following you, she found out that the owner of this store was from the same hometown as her, and Mr. Sorel was about to retire and return to his hometown. We also needed a place to stay, so we bought it."
Who are you trying to fool? You are anarchist terrorists, and you have the time to open a shop, a dessert shop at that...
Yuan Yan thought about it and realized that this was not possible. There is an old saying among us Seres: the darkest place is under the lamp. If he couldn't think of it, the NYPD and BOI who were focused on investigating illegal liquor business would not think of it either.
It's not that our Master Yuan looked down on the American intelligence department, but the American federal agents at that time were really amateurs. It's incredible that the United States, which can even know the color of your underwear if it wants to know, actually outsourced the detection of federal crimes before 1908!
Look, this is called neoclassical liberalism.
Of course, the main reason is that before the westward movement, there were only a few Indian tribes on the large piece of land west of the Mississippi River that could grow crops, produce gold and oil. The US government couldn't manage it, so it had to hunt down criminals by offering rewards, just like in western movies, so a large number of bounty hunters and companies specializing in this business emerged.
