It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 453 The Compromise

"John Bryan Adams, a member of the board of directors of Raytheon Technologies Corporation of America, was shot and killed at the entrance of the first floor of the Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York, on the evening of January 2027, 1. He was preparing to attend Raytheon's annual celebration ceremony held at the Empire State Building."

Peter looked left and right, and could vaguely see the number 1 from the dead back of Adams VI.
Although he hoped it was just his illusion.

“We cannot tell anyone because it involves the risk of our dealings with Lion City being exposed.

Once this is exposed, you won't be able to vote. When the Donald Trump Party comes to power, every one of us will be thrown into federal prison."

The next morning, Peter flew to Washington on a special plane, and this was the first thing he said when he saw the deputy commander.

He could hear fear in the other person's tone, as well as the desire to resolve the issue through formal channels.

It is clear that the death of Adams VI was an absolute earthquake for Washington.

The other party's position is 10,000 times more important than Brian Thompson, CEO of Commonwealth Health Insurance Corporation who passed away a few years ago.

In each generation of the Adams clan, only one person can inherit the name John Adams.

The others could only inherit the surname and had no way of being called Adams*.

In other words, the direct descendant of the Adams family was beaten to death in front of the Empire State Building.

This shock was a bit too great.

The Empire State Building is also a very representative location.

When Brian Thompson died, the American media reported it extensively, and even the murderer Luigi became famous.

This time, both the New York police and the federal authorities will dig deep into the ground to dig the person out.

So in Peter's view, all they had to do was wait.

If the federal police and the law enforcement agencies can't solve it, they can't solve it either.

"I didn't see anything. I just heard three very dull gunshots. It was only after the gunshots stopped that I realized what had happened. I looked around and saw a man in a military green jacket hurriedly leaving. I didn't see his face."

"I saw his face. He was wearing a pair of Meta glasses, had blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features. He looked like a mix of Slavs and Latinos."

"I was standing next to the murderer at the time. He very calmly pulled out a pistol from his coat. I don't remember the shape of the pistol, but I know it was very small. I didn't even notice he had a pistol in his hand."

纽约警察果然焦头烂额，因为1月4日虽然不是联邦的法定假日，但1月1日是，而2027年的1月2日和1月3日又是周末，连带着很多人都在1月4日这天请假把假期凑的更长。

This also led to the fact that at the moment of the accident, there were a lot of people at the Empire State Building, and there were countless witnesses who saw the murderer killing Adams VI.

Because the people involved were too important, everyone was called in to cooperate with the investigation.

The result is that everyone has a different account of the murderer's appearance.

Some say the eyes are blue, some say they are green, and some say they are brown.

Then there are various opinions about appearance.

You're asking about surveillance video? How could there be a video of a shooting led by Alpha?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Adams, we don't have a unified result yet." Adams looked apologetic.

Abigail Adams, Adams VI's uncle, was appointed by the Adams family to take full responsibility for this matter and to ensure that the murderer was brought to justice.

The person in front of him who was responsible for answering the call was New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Forgot to mention, Eric Adams is black and has nothing to do with the Adams family.

If there weren't so many people coming and going around and the employees of the Federal Police Department weren't all working, Abigail would have wanted to say to the other person: Are you worthy of the last name Adams?
But even if he didn’t say this, his disdain for black people was obvious in his words and actions: “All I need is a portrait of the murderer.

There were more than a hundred witnesses at the scene and on the way the murderer left. A full hundred people saw his face. Can't you even give me a portrait?"

Abigail finds it hard to imagine the incompetence of the New York police.

Big shots like Adams VI are surrounded by dense bodyguards. The presence of bodyguards means that if Gassan wants to complete the kill while wearing a mask, he will be stopped from approaching as soon as he appears on the scene.

The pistol Alpha provided him with was not enough to support him in killing at a long distance.

So he could only approach the entrance of the Empire State Building in his true identity.

"We suspect the Meta glass on his face provided him with cover.

You know that Meta glass now provides AI-driven appearance generation effects.

Eye color, eye shape, and the lighting around the nose can all be altered, which would give different impressions of his appearance to witnesses who saw him at different times.”

After the explosive growth period, smart glasses have had many interesting applications.

Matrix glass's self-management system is just one of them. This generation of Meta glass's main feature is one-click dressing.

It uses variable-focus display technology to allow you to change into different looks with just a pair of glasses.

Because the visual effect of your appearance on others is generally determined by the triangular area formed by the eyes and nose. If this triangular area is similar, it will give you the feeling that the two people look alike.

After this generation of Meta glass was launched, the most popular related videos on TikTok were of celebrities rapidly changing among themselves while wearing Meta glass.

Scarlett, Jennifer, Olsen, Taylor. In just fifteen seconds on Douyin, female bloggers give you the visual effect that different female stars appear on one face.

Such interesting applications have promoted the explosive sales of Meta glass.

It is precisely because of this application that they now have no idea of ​​the murderer's true appearance.

During the blockade operation when the murder took place, not a single hair was found.

But how could a family like the Adams family rely solely on the federal police?

It's easy to figure out that the federal police are probably about as reliable as the black mayor named Adams.

Local detective agencies in New York, such as Pinkerton Detective Agency, Deeds, Wesley, etc., all the local detective companies with a little fame in New York were mobilized.

Don't tell me that the historical Pinkerton detective agency that hunted criminals in the West no longer exists. After being acquired by the Swedish security company Secolida, Pinkerton is just a part of a large multinational security group.

It still provided investigative services, and under pressure from the Adams Family, Pinkerton investigators all began to take action.

"Mayor." The federal employee walked into Mayor Adams' office and saw that Adams had a worried look on his face. "What's going on? Abigail is here to urge me again?"

The federal employee shook his head: "He's not coming anymore."

Mayor Adams stood up and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Abigail is dead."

Abigail kept coming to New York City twice a week to put pressure on them, trying to force them to mobilize all their forces for an investigation. This also led to Adams not wanting to see Abigail, who had the same surname as him.

But he never thought that Abigail would die.

"What's going on!" Mayor Adams asked in shock.

"He was shot and killed by Bette Lumpkin near the Venice, Florida airport," the employee said.

The criminal has been caught by the Florida police.

Bette Lumpkin is keeping quiet and is calling for a lawyer, who is said to be involved in the deaths of the Lumpkins."

As an old black man, it was normal for him to have a poor memory. Adams searched his mind but could not find any information about the Lampkins: "Who are the Lampkins?"

"Lampkin, whose full name is Jeff Lampkin, was the vice chairman of Raytheon. He and his wife died in a plane crash while on vacation in Florida.

They, along with another couple named Rick and Bette Beaver, were killed when their single-engine Piper PA-32 light aircraft crashed into the Gulf of Mexico shortly after taking off from Venice Airport.

All four passengers on the flight died.

There was no severe weather that day, and the official investigation report from the National Transportation Safety Board has not been released. There is a conspiracy theory that they were killed by Raytheon, but this statement has not been confirmed. "

First there was Adams VI, and then there was Abigail Adams. There is no doubt that two members of the Adams family have died in accidents.

Mayor Adams just couldn't turn around anymore. He also smelled the danger approaching, "Could something happen to me, Adams?"

"Do you think I should change my last name?" Mayor Adams asked.

Federal employees were confused, "What?" I'm talking to you about the case, and you're talking to me about changing your last name?

The Adams Family has always hinted that you should change your last name, but you refused. What’s happening now?
Mayor Adams, who was unaware of the inside story, smelled something ominous, and the deputy commander in Washington felt the storm even more.

The president personally inquired about the deaths of members of the Adams family.

Fortunately, the second murderer of Abigail Adams was caught, and the reasons behind it were reasonable and justified, which made it more legitimate to avenge her parents.

But before they could relax for long, when the third member of the Adams family died, everyone realized that something was wrong.

This is a targeted blast.

Alpha released the crimes of every dead Adams family member.

But this was enough to make everyone in America feel insecure, and under the leadership of the Adams Family, a special operation was launched in Lion City.

At least for the Federation, this is an action that must be taken.

The Federation's Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier "USS John C. Stennis" departed from Hawaii and headed straight for the Changi base.

It looks like they are going to exert pressure through aircraft carriers.

But it was obvious that while still on the way, two "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles from the Changi base forced the "USS John C. Stennis" to return along the original route.

"Guys, I think we need to have a positive conversation.

What Singapore and Malaysia pursue is independence and self-determination, rather than leaning towards either America or China.

The deaths of the Adams family members were well deserved, and we are only providing a small helping hand to the innocent victims who wanted revenge."

To be honest, Oraz was very nervous about attending this closed-door hearing in Congress in Washington.

But he knew that this was the mission given to him by Samad and he had to go because he didn't want to lose everything he had now.

If Samad doesn't get things done, how can he stay in the position of CEO of Alpha Technologies with his shallow qualifications?
"This is a serious provocation to us!"

"Okay, Mr. Congressman, I know that Raytheon is behind you, so you'd better think about whether you have any enemies. If so, we are happy to provide them with a little information.

Ladies and gentlemen, Alpha Technology’s greatest advantage is information.”

If Oraz had come here and said this before the USS Stannis, it would have had no effect, but after the USS Stannis, it was very effective.

The last time the America base was operated by Alpha Technology to launch missiles, all the relevant personnel were replaced.

Transferred back to the American mainland from the original base.

Bases like the Changi base, which is located in Lion City, have also had a new batch of personnel replaced.

As a result, Alpha Technologies launched the Harpoon anti-ship missile just like they did at home.

It's not scary to launch it, but it is scary to be able to hit the USS Stennis accurately.

Two missiles certainly couldn't sink the USS Stennis, but what about two hundred missiles? What about missiles fired simultaneously from Changi, Guam, and Okinawa?
It was because of the USS John C. Stennis incident that Oraz had the opportunity to come to Capitol Hill for a closed-door hearing.

"We hope to maintain a good cooperative relationship with America. We have a broad cooperation foundation in many fields such as consumption, technology, tourism, finance, and infrastructure.

It is precisely based on this foundation that what Alpha Technology has done has not been exposed in the media.

If this were to be exposed in the media, I believe it would be an absolutely unmanageable problem for America.

China is also willing to seize this opportunity. They have proved it once in the past, right? "

Obviously, the last sentence was the straw that broke the camel's back.

After this trip to the White House, Congress quickly agreed to the relevant treaty, even though there were still some objections from some members of Congress.

Even the remaining members of the Adams Family hope to find new opportunities rather than confront Alpha Technology head-on under such an obvious information disadvantage.

Abigail's death really scared them.

Everyone has a dark history or opponents.

With companies like Alpha Technologies working against you and trying every means to reveal your specific information to your opponents, you won't be able to sleep well.

Not to mention, he also has the ability to launch America missiles.

What if you are sleeping soundly in your own manor and someone launches a missile to hit you?
The Patriot missile was developed by Raytheon, but the Adams family was wiped out by the Patriot missile?

This is a bit too ridiculous.

It was precisely because of these deterrents that America had to agree to the conditions offered by Lion City.

Lion City became the first country in the entire Asia-Pacific region to break free from America's dog chain.
