American Scandal King

Chapter 190 Ian did nothing
The sound of sirens was heard in the distance.

The police finally arrived.

They couldn't outrun the reporters.

The arrival of the police finally made the hospital feel much more at ease.

A nurse carefully brought the child to the ward, drew all the curtains, and said tremblingly, "The child is fine. Do we need to leave him here?"

Ian picked up the child and said, "Leave it to me. Everything will be fine with me here."

The baby was just born and was still a little wrinkled, but his big eyes were very cute and he was awake.

He placed the child next to Lian Na and said, "Look, the child is fine."

Lian Na looked at the child and smiled: "He has blue eyes, like you."

The fear that the shooting incident brought to Lena has not been completely eliminated, but the sense of security brought by Ian and the satisfaction brought by the children finally eased Lena's uneasy mood a lot.

Gaskell also looked at the child with pity: "Poor little guy, he has to go through this right after he was born."

Lian Na glared at Ian angrily: "This is all because of you, Ian Karl."

I feel so innocent. If it weren't for me, that guy might have fired a second shot.

But when facing a woman, you'd better not try to reason with her.

He just smiled at Lian Na: "I promise you, I will never let you encounter this kind of thing again."

Lian Na hummed: "Just remember it and do what you should do."

You know what I'm going to do?
Ian smiled bitterly: "I need to accompany the children."

"You have been there. He is Gaskell's son first." Lena replied playfully.

Ian lowered his head helplessly, kissed the child, then kissed Lena, and gave Gaskell a hug: "There is still a guy who ran away. I will find him and use his head as comfort."

Gaskell responded: "Don't make it too bloody."

........................

After leaving the hospital, Ian made a phone call: "There was a gunfight at St. George's Hospital, and a nurse died. Send reporters here immediately to interview everyone in the hospital. Damn it, there are already reporters in the hospital, and you don't even have any news? You can't do the news without me? You're a bunch of idiots!"

Although Ian already has the news, the attitude still needs to be emphasized.

Even up to now, the LANN reporter hasn't shown up yet. How ridiculous!
He put the phone away angrily, muttering to himself, "Murdoch is much better than I am at training good journalists. Maybe in subsequent negotiations I can give him more power to discipline my people... He'd like that."

It is impossible to have exclusive interviews with hospitals, but fortunately there are other options.

Brydeson was following the fleeing guy, and the key face was recorded.

But Ian didn't intend to hand him over to the police just like that. He wanted to catch the bastard himself.

As soon as I finished the call, several police cars came roaring over.

Although in movies, the police are always slower than the awesome protagonist who ventures into the dragon's den alone.

But in reality, they are often slower than reporters!

The police car stopped in front of the hospital and Catherine got out.

Still in that dashing police uniform, she strode over to Ian and said, "I knew you'd be wherever there was a gunfight."

There was a sense of annoyance in his words, as if nothing had ever happened between them.

Ian looked at her coldly. "Ten minutes ago, a sniper bullet flew past my woman's head thirty centimeters away, and just today, she gave birth to a son for me! Do you think I would risk my woman and child for this piece of news?"

Catherine was stunned: "You have a son?"

Ian ignored her and just strode forward.

Catherine quickly caught up and shouted, "Ian, I'm sorry I wronged you just now, but you have to cooperate with us."

Ian stopped and looked back at her: "What are you talking about?"

Catherine followed with her long legs. "Three people were killed. There were two gunmen. Someone saw you shooting! And your driver and reporter are missing now. I know your people are tracking the other gunman and they must have taken a picture of his face! But you're not a police officer. You don't have the power to enforce the law."

She leaned closer to Ian and whispered, "Just consider it a favor! You can't always be stealing the police's jobs."

Looking at her serious and helpless eyes, Ian felt a little better.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Every citizen has the obligation to prevent crime."

"Why didn't you do that during the Palos Bank Chase?"

"It means my conscience has grown in value."

"I guess conscience is worthless. Your conscience only depends on the needs of your reporting. Ian, those two gunmen just nearly killed your wife. Are you really going to ignore that for the sake of your reporting?"

Ian stopped and looked up at the sky.

My mood became inexplicably heavy.

After a while, he said, "She is not my wife."

Catherine was stunned. Ian took out a pen and paper, wrote down a number, and handed it to Catherine: "This is Brydeson's number. You can contact him."

He looked around and said, "This is the first time I give up. Congratulations, you beat me once."

Catherine was furious.

She grabbed Ian's neck and yelled, "Ian! Do you think I'm someone who always wants to win you over?"

Ian looked at her: "Isn't it? I remember you told me yourself that you were playing with me and I satisfied your needs!"

"Fuck!" Catherine cursed, "I'm going to your house tonight. You can have fun with as many people as you want!"

The shout was so loud that the policemen nearby were speechless.

My police goddess!!!
"It depends on my mood." Ian turned and left without mercy.

………………

With Ian's rare generosity and Bridson's help, the LAPD finally solved their first big case of the year.

The father and son in the Washington shooting case were arrested early.

The father and son are 40-year-old John Muhammad and 17-year-old Lee Walmart, who are stepfather and stepson.

The whole incident was actually planned by John Muhammad because he completely lost the lawsuit with his ex-wife for custody of their three children. Therefore, he hated his ex-wife, as well as the relatives and friends around her. He believed that those people did not play a good role.

John wanted to take revenge on those people, but if he found them directly and killed them one by one, he would be easily exposed, and it would be difficult for him to complete such a task alone.

So John thought of his stepson Lee Walmart. If the two of them worked together, the success rate would be greatly improved. John's plan was to cover up his real criminal purpose by randomly sniping passers-by.

Simply put, this was actually a specific murder case that was attempted to be covered up as a random killing.

Interestingly, even in the past, when John Muhammad was caught, he failed to kill his most important target - his ex-wife.

This is even more so in this time and space. In the original time and space, they shot and killed 27 people, and in this time and space, they killed 22 people.

As for why the father and son came to Los Angeles, it was a small difference in time and space - one of John's targets came to Los Angeles, and John himself felt that the killings confined to Washington were too conspicuous, so he might as well expand his business.

So the father and son made a choice that they had not made in the original time and space, and unfortunately met Ian Carr.

Although Ian Carr knew about the Washington father and son shooting case, he really couldn't remember their names, otherwise he would have gone to look for them long ago. He didn't expect the other party to come to him on their own initiative.

With Ian's help, the case was successfully solved.

Director Becton was even more prominent.

Facing the media, he was very proud: "We solved the case that Washington took four months to solve in one go. This is the Los Angeles police. We are committed to eliminating crime and protecting the people!"

He took all the credit for himself.

As for Carl Media, although Ian did not expand on it later, the real-time gunfight filmed by Brydson is still extremely valuable, especially the subsequent killing of John.

News Corp. ran a headline: "Ian Carr kills John Muhammad, another corpse whipping!"

very good!

They are even better at clickbait than I am!
Some things are worthless if repeated, but some things become more valuable the more they are repeated.

Ian Carr's madness of whipping corpses and shooting dead people has become a topic of discussion among many people.

"Why do I feel that Ian is the hero who solved this case?"

"He was the one who killed John Muhammad, and it was the butterfly that captured the footage of their gunfight."

“But Ian Carr didn’t show up this time.”

"This is so strange. It's unlike Ian Carr in the past. If it were before, he would have interviewed everyone like crazy. He would have found Lee Wolmar before the police, and while beating him, he would have interviewed him about his feelings. He would even ask him if it hurt, if the binding was too deep, and if he wanted to change his position."

"You seem to have some misunderstanding about the meaning of binding?"

"He would pull out John Muhammad, whose body he whipped, for a live interview."

"Ah, you really know Ian Carr, but I also think he is capable of such a thing."

"But don't you think this is interesting? Ian Carr did nothing, and the most interesting thing about this is that he did almost nothing."

"That's right, push the news up. The biggest news this time isn't the arrest of the father and son in the Washington shooting, but the fact that Ian did nothing."

Crash.

"Ian did nothing" became a hot news topic thanks to the hype of a group of netizens.

The Southern Group stated: Ian Carr gave up on this news because he did not want to expose the miserable hearts of the injured people.

Shameless flattery as always.

The problem is that you seem to have forgotten that this is something Ian Carr does occasionally? What if he gets slapped in the face next time?

Oh, the Southern Group is shameless and only cares about sales. In essence, they are no different from Ian Carr who has no conscience and only cares about news. As long as sales are good, the more slaps in the face the better.

In short, this time Ian Carr did nothing, but it became a hot topic, and even Director Becton was confused.

Can this kind of news become a hot topic?
Is this world so outrageous?
