Although Jack had learned skills in explosive ordnance disposal when he was a SEAL, there was no need to go overboard when it came to bomb disposal. Two experts from the explosive ordnance disposal team were already waiting by the side wearing bomb disposal suits.

In film and television works, in order to enhance the atmosphere, the appearance of explosives such as time bombs is artistically exaggerated to a certain extent. However, in fact, under normal circumstances, no fool would deliberately make a red timer and add an extra ticking timer. A beep sounder to remind people.

The disposal of most explosives is also very simple and crude. If they can be removed, remove them on site, unplug the detonator or try to disable the detonation device, or move them to an open area and detonate them directly after confirming the power of the explosion.

The Barrett M82A1 that Jack brought is also an explosive disposal tool. After confirming the power of the bomb and the safe distance, it is a common method to use armor-piercing incendiary bombs to directly fire and detonate.

As for the remote control bomb made using the internal remote control and receiving chip of the remote control toy car, it is even simpler to handle. The wireless signal jammer is standard equipment for bomb disposal experts. Once the machine is turned on, all frequency bands are blocked, and the other party presses the remote control button. It cannot be detonated even if it is broken.

So the real trouble was finding the bomb rather than defusing it, so when two experts carefully inspected the Ford Raptor F150 inside and out and gestured to show that they found nothing, Jack and Hannah's reaction was not relief. , but rather disappointed.

"The next step is your work. There is a body in the trunk." One of the experts took off a heavy helmet similar to a space suit, smiled and shook Jack's hand.

The ERT team arrived quickly and pulled out the body of a naked man from the tarpaulin in the back of the pickup truck. He was a white man in his early 30s with a gunshot wound to his head. It was initially determined to be a 9 mm caliber.

The deceased's fingers were intact, and forensic investigators confirmed his identity through fingerprints at the scene. His name was Sarin Kendall, a local caretaker who was responsible for looking after properties that had been unoccupied for a long time.

"He has the keys to these properties. Is it possible that one of them is the target of the attack?" Hannah said with a frown as she carefully disassembled the G28E and put it into the gun case.

"The possibility is very small." Jack shook his head. Although the extremists like Mr. and Mrs. Kane were not professional, they were definitely not merciful and kind-hearted. This was evident from the previous massacre in the church.

Salin Kendall was basically responsible for private properties, mostly vacation villas that had been unoccupied for a long time. Jack quickly looked through the list sent by the combat center, and there were no particularly famous political or public figures in it.

Did Kane's gang spend so much money to acquire 400 pounds of high explosives just to attack a private residence? Jack felt that this possibility was slim. This could be seen from the threatening text messages they sent to Lacroix before. Their purpose was to attract attention and create a sensational incident.

"Salin Kendall and his work truck have just been reported missing. He was seen leaving a local bar with a woman last night. The county police asked the bartender to identify Emma Kane's photo, which can basically confirm that she is She,” Jubal said during a video call.

Jack frowned and tried to think clearly. They didn't have much time. The other party's plan was to launch an attack this morning. It was already 8:30 in the morning.

"Check whether Salin Kendall has any other part-time jobs or works for others. The other party took away his keys and work car, and stripped off his uniform. The purpose must be to take advantage of his identity. We must be Something is missing.”

Jubal nodded, "We are already checking. To be on the safe side, I have arranged for a bomb disposal team to search house to house according to the addresses on the list."

"The Kane gang chose remote control detonation instead of timers, which shows that they have a clear purpose and want to control the time accurately. Check the rallies or activities that will be held in Ulster County this morning, and prioritize screening and immigration as well as minority Ethnic related.”

Before Jack finished speaking, Jubal had already taken several pieces of information from an analyst and read it to him while reading, "What you mentioned is also being investigated. This is Salin Kendall's information, 31 Years old, single, grew up in Ulster County.

His boss said that everyone liked him, that he was a good, hard-working young man with no political background, no connection to any white supremacist group, a clean past, and no criminal record.”

He paused for a moment and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, here is one. In August this year, he was summoned by the Allenville Country Court. The local park management caught him fishing five trout without a fishing license. Fish was sentenced to 5 months of community service.

Poor guy, he lost his life just because he picked up the wrong woman in a bar, so it is necessary to watch TV occasionally, especially to pay attention to the wanted poster."

"Where?" Jack suddenly asked.

"Uh, Lily's Bar, an ordinary country bar. Do you want to go there? I've asked, there is no surveillance around the bar."

Before Jubal could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jack, "I mean community service. Where was he sentenced to perform community service?"

"At the Ulster County Recreation Center in Kingston. Damn it!" Jubal was suddenly shocked and waved to the camera in an excited tone. "That list... is the list we screened before. I remember there today There is an event in the morning.”

Soon another piece of information was handed to him, "There will be a naturalization ceremony held at the Ulster County Entertainment Center this morning. There will be thousands of participants plus spectators. I will notify the local police immediately."

There was no need to talk nonsense, so Jack immediately took Hannah and two bomb disposal experts to get a Saber and rushed to the Ulster County Recreation Center.

"Guys, you can't go in wearing a bomb disposal suit, it will cause chaos." Jack started the car, turned the steering wheel and then pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and then turned back to remind him.

"No problem. I heard that it was a 400-pound Semtin. It doesn't matter whether it is worn or not." The two bomb disposal experts, who are also members of the FBI, immediately helped each other take off their equipment. In fact, even if Jack didn't say anything, They had no intention of continuing to wear the heavy bomb disposal suits.

Within ten minutes of driving, Jack's cell phone rang again. The caller was Lacroix. He didn't talk nonsense, but explained the current situation in a concise and concise manner.

"The ceremony was originally scheduled to start at 9 o'clock. People are already entering the auditorium one after another. Metal detectors are set up at the entrance. The local police have been notified to slow down the pace of entry, but the police officers on duty do not know the truth yet."

The working distance of the toy car with its remote control removed was 200 meters, which meant that Emma Kane and her men were definitely watching nearby. It was not a good idea to evacuate the crowd at this time.

In order to prevent the leakage of information from causing the other party to be alert and detonate in advance, the next actions must be carried out secretly, and it is time to race against time again.

Jack's location was only fifteen minutes' drive from the target, and Lacroix, who was also heading here, was even closer.

As they approached the entertainment center, Jack began to slow down. A large SUV like the Subaban was already a bit eye-catching, but fortunately this time it was just a single one, so it shouldn't attract any attention.

Lacroix has already dispersed around with his "Wanted Criminals" team members who have just returned to New York. They will be responsible for finding traces of Emma Kane and his accomplices.

After parking the Saber class in the parking lot, Jack, Hannah and two bomb disposal experts put on hidden headphones and got out of the car, pretending to be ordinary people and walking towards the entrance of the auditorium.

Both bomb disposal experts were carrying toolboxes, and in Jack's hand was a gun case with a black bag covering the outside. Inside the gun case was the G28E that Hannah had just used and was in a decomposed state again.
