America: Starting with the Last Liberty

Chapter 183 Grandpa, you're so sexy (4K)

Rosen first drove a stretched Lincoln to the FBI building, where he was intercepted by the LAPD along the way.

Unfortunately, this extended Lincoln is severely damaged and definitely does not meet road safety standards.

Fortunately, the FBI credentials were still valid, so it didn't take too long.

"Eva, Audrey, get out of the car and wait for me. I'll go contact Mr. Rosen."

Rosen found a secluded spot, transformed back into his original form, and then, with his spoils, entered the FBI building to find Gordon Cole.

This time, thankfully, we didn't run into that arrogant deputy director, Emerson Stewart.

"Chief Cole, I've brought some 'findings,' perhaps you can see if you can use them to deal with that guy."

Rosen imported the video taken with the spy pen into a USB drive and handed it to Cole.

Cole was very surprised after looking at the documents Audrey had photographed.

"Agent Rosen, how did you get these photos? Did you just barge into Walsh's study?"

"That's roughly the idea."

"That can't be right, can it? Even if you barged into Walsh's study, you'd hardly see these things, would you?"

"Chief Cole, didn't you say you never care about the process, only the result?"

Cole smiled.

"Forgive me, Agent Rosen, but everyone has moments of curiosity."

"Well, I'll talk about it after this case is over."

Cole nodded and didn't press the matter further.

"Agent Rosen, these documents are still a bit incomplete. It would be best to capture Keith Troy, and with the killer's confession, we should be able to put Ed Walsh firmly in his place!"

"Then we'll just have to wait for tonight's final."

Rosen looked out the window; the sun was already setting.

After speaking with Cole, Rosen left the FBI building to go back to find Eva and Audrey.

With little time left until the Miss America pageant finals, Rosen needed to arrange his upcoming work.

"Audrey, for your safety's sake, you shouldn't participate in tonight's match. Let Eva take you back to Bonanno Manor."

"Huh? Why?!"

"Audrey, I think Walsh would love to eat you alive right now. It would be very dangerous for you to participate in the competition."

"But you're at the competition too! With you there, I'm sure everything will be alright! Besides, my participation might even act as bait!"

I don't know where Audrey got her confidence from, but in her eyes, Rosen seemed to have become Superman.

However, what this girl said makes some sense.

"Audrey, this is extremely dangerous. The assassin might not even give you a chance to explain; they might just kill you!"

Audrey's big eyes blinked as she looked at Rosen.

"I trust you!"

Since the beauty believed in him so much, Rosen had no choice but to accept it.

"Alright then! Eva, you're joining Fox TV too. Don't worry about the arrest warrant; I've already taken care of it for you."

"Yes, Master."

Eva bowed respectfully to Rosen, and this amazing attitude and words greatly surprised Audrey.

"Rosen, why does she call you master?"

Rosen slapped his face, feeling like he couldn't quite explain himself.

Audrey's next words left Rosen even more speechless.

"I've seen my dad and his partner play alphabet games before, and they seemed to refer to each other as master and servant! Rosen, does that mean you and Eva are also doing 'uh-uh-uh'—"

Rosen quickly covered Audrey's mouth; he was suddenly curious about the red-haired girl's upbringing.

Just how bizarre must this town be to have shaped such a bizarre worldview as Audrey's?

"Ahem! Eva, from now on, just call me 'sir' in front of others, you don't need to call me 'master'."

"Yes, Master!"

Eva blinked at Rosen, her face showing an expression that couldn't help but laugh.

Afterward, Eva took Audrey to Fox Television for her final preparations before going on stage.

As for Rosen, he disguised himself, put on sunglasses, and entered as an audience member along with Sean and other FBI agents.

At 7:50, the live broadcast is about to start in ten minutes.

The studio is all set up, all staff are doing their jobs, and even the audience is seated, waiting for the live broadcast.

The broadcast has officially begun.

There were approximately 150 audience members present, including 30 FBI agents, meaning that one in five people was an FBI agent.

.

This level of protection is already quite tight, and Rosen really wanted to know how Case was going to carry out the assassination.

"Sean, which one is that congressman?"

"Adrian Moore, the one in the middle of the guest seats."

Rosen saw a handsome middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old.

No wonder this guy got more votes than Walsh; he looks much better than Walsh.

Under similar circumstances, people are more likely to support those who are young and good-looking.

Although Walsh's demeanor and smile are still impeccable due to his many years of performing, he is, after all, getting old.

Voters elect you to be a senator and do the work, not to retire in the senatorate.

Rosen noticed that the area around the guest seats was very empty, with the nearest ordinary audience member being 2 meters away.

"Has the VIP seating area been checked?"

"I've already had it checked, and there are no problems. Rosen, I've had people check every possible place except backstage. The area around the VIP seating area has the most FBI agents. I'm a little confused about how Case could possibly kill Adrian Moore!"

Rosen was also puzzled, and then he remembered what Megan had told him about the note Jane found in the exploding cake.

Death will blossom in freedom!

Could the secret lie in this sentence?

Rosen also remembered Will Graham's character analysis of Keith Troy.

Case is an extremely arrogant and conceited person who enjoys grand occasions and is keen on provoking the police and the FBI.

Therefore, this statement is very likely a clue about Case's crime.

So what does this sentence actually mean?

Just then, a burst of powerful music suddenly started, and the final match officially began.

Five beauties walked onto the stage to the rhythm of the music, and the audience immediately began to applaud enthusiastically.

Yes, generally speaking, the behavior of the audience is also guided by the production team.

When to clap, when to cheer, when to laugh.

Some production teams even invite professional audience members to participate in the performance.

For example, in some music programs, you can really feel that the audience's performances are much better than those of the actors in TV dramas.

At least these viewers didn't need eye drops to shed tears.

But this time, the audience's reaction was absolutely genuine, because all five beauties on stage were wearing swimsuits!

Who can resist a woman with a pure and beautiful face and a hot figure wearing a swimsuit?

Even Sean, who was always serious and upright, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Because Erin withdrew from the competition, the sixth-place winner was promoted to the next round, but this did not affect her appearance on stage at all.

The contestants who made it into the top ten of Miss America are definitely not lacking in looks.

After the white swimsuit fashion show, host Megan took the stage to begin the program.

Tonight's final will last for two hours, but there are only five contestants, so it will be a real test of the host's skills. The host's ability to control the pace is crucial.

Fortunately, Megan's opening performance was excellent, humorously teasing several contestants and guests and firmly grasping the rhythm of the event.

Moreover, the blonde female anchor is also quite beautiful, and her tall figure is no shorter than that of the beauties on stage.

It made people think there were six beauties participating in the competition.

After asking each contestant a question, the guests gave their comments, and then the contestants went offstage for their "GG" (give-up) segment.

After GG, it's time for individual talent shows.

"Wow! Finally, we're going to see Jane and Audrey dance! I can't wait!"

Sean seemed very excited, perhaps because his apprentice was going to perform.

This left Rosen speechless.

"Sean, don't forget our job!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten! I consulted Will before, and he speculated that if Case really wanted to choose a moment to make a move, the most likely time would be during the awards ceremony."

Rosen paused for a moment.

"During the awards ceremony?"

"Yes! Will said Kyle enjoys the moment when he's in the spotlight, and the awards ceremony is when everyone's eyes are on him."

when."

Rosen's eyes were fixed on the stage.

Will's deduction made a lot of sense, but Rosen was not as optimistic as Sean.

"Sean, psychology isn't a cure-all! Otherwise, Will would have used Pollux to capture his brother already!"

People are easily influenced, and if Case is influenced, he may change his mind.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Sean's expression turned serious again; he had indeed gotten a little carried away.

Rosen nodded, then put on his hostile sunglasses and began to survey his surroundings.

The stage lighting effects made it very difficult to see through Rosen's hostile sunglasses.

However, Rosen still didn't find any suspicious people, but he did see a familiar face.

Before the timeout ended, Rosen quietly approached the acquaintance.

"Mr. Afumerin, what brings you here?"

Rosen almost called out another name, but thankfully the other person didn't seem to notice.

Yes, this familiar face is none other than Victor Merlin, the image consultant who previously worked with Jane and Audrey.

"Oh, it's Mr. Rosen! Of course I had to come, after all, today is the best time to test the results of my teaching!"

'

Victor remained as kind and benevolent as ever, but Rosen still sensed that the other man's background was not simple.

"Mr. Merlin, although I don't want to spoil your fun, tonight's match might be a bit dangerous. Why don't you go home now?"

Out of good intentions, Rosen still reminded the other party, after all, the old man was over seventy years old.

If someone were to die on the spot due to fright or being trampled, Lawson's second extra condition would not be fulfilled.

"Danger? You mean the bombing?"

Rosen raised an eyebrow, looking at Victor with surprise.

"You know about this?"

"Ha! You guys talked about this all the time during training. I'm neither stupid nor deaf, how could I not know?"

Indeed, with Audrey acting as a leaky sieve, it's inevitable that some information will be revealed.

"Mr. Merlin, if you knew all this, why did you come?"

"Mr. Rosen, our lives are like a vast wilderness, where danger is everywhere."

We can't let some dangers cause us to miss out on something more important. Besides, I believe Mr. Rosen, you can handle these dangers!

Victor winked playfully at Rosson.

Rosen hadn't expected Victor to trust him so much. He himself wasn't confident he could complete the task perfectly, so where did Victor get his confidence from?

"Mr. Merlin, why do you trust me so much?"

"Of course, I learned about you through conversations with Ms. Banner and Ms. Bonanno."

At that moment, the lights in the studio suddenly dimmed, and then a very retro disco tune began to play.

The contestants' talent show officially began, and the first one to take the stage was Jane.

Jane changed her sweet girl look from the competition and put on a retro sequined outfit, dancing a hot disco dance on stage.

This stark contrast elicited cheers from the audience, and even the older guests and judges couldn't help but start dancing to the music.

Just as Victor had predicted, this retro disco style perfectly captured the judges' youth, hitting their sweet spot.

"Mr. Rosen, enjoy this moment to the fullest, and leave the rest to God!"

Victor swayed slightly to the music, and judging from his movements, he must have been a dance king or something when he was young.

Rosen looked at Victor's actions with a strange expression. He had said the same thing to Sophia before, but he didn't expect that someone else would use the same words to fool him today.

At that moment, Rosen had only one thought in his mind.

Grandpa, you're so sexy!

Suppressing the urge to jump along, Rosen prepared to return to his seat.

At that moment, Victor suddenly grabbed Rosen.

"Mr. Rosen, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Perhaps my life experience can help you."

Although Victor was still wiggling like a hippie, his eyes were very serious.

After hesitating for a moment, Rosen relayed the hint that Case had given him.

"The terrorist left behind a message, but I don't know what it means."

Tell me about it.

"Death will blossom in freedom."

Upon hearing this, Victor immediately looked at the tall statue standing in the studio.

The Statue of Liberty is probably the best representation of the word "freedom".

"Mr. Merlin, the statue has been inspected, and there are no problems inside."

"Are you absolutely sure you've checked everything?"

Victor gave Rosen a meaningful look.

"Human eyes and memory can be deceiving to some extent. Are you really sure there's nothing wrong with that statue?"

Rosen frowned. He hadn't actually inspected the Statue of Liberty himself; he'd only heard about it from Mike.

As for how Mike performed the examination, Rosen was unsure.

Could it be that—

Rosen carefully observed the Statue of Liberty, only to notice a flash of red light on the ceiling.
