The hd security patrol team appeared at the most critical moment. All four gangsters in the two cars were arrested, and Arnold was sent to the hospital for rescue.

Arnold was shot in the shoulder, and the bullet penetrated the driver's seat, so the kinetic energy was much smaller, and Arnold was not in danger of death.

The HD patrol team found a suitcase containing one million US dollars in cash, a handheld camera, and a package of data in Arnold's car.

Chasing and killing in the street,

This is a big case. After arresting the suspect, the HD patrol team immediately handed the case over to the Los Angeles police. The Los Angeles police took it very seriously, but after a preliminary understanding of the case, the sheriff in charge of the case was shocked.

Bought it.

It even involved the presidential candidate, New York Governor Dewey. The sheriff immediately reported it to Chief Ed of the Los Angeles Police Department. Ed was also shocked after hearing the report. He didn't dare to deal with it since it involved these big shots, so he quickly threw this hot potato to the FBI.

After the Los Angeles FBI branch took over the case, they interrogated the four people who chased Arnold, but they remained tight-lipped and refused to say a word.

Arnold is still in a coma.

But there were some photos and data in Arnold's file package, and the initial judgment was that he was being hunted down because of these things.

The report was passed up the chain of command and eventually reached President Johnson.

President Johnson was in the White House at the time. When he heard the news, he immediately thought of what Hadi had said to him that day. He knew that it must have been Hadi who had initiated it.

Give instructions immediately.

"Investigate, and get to the bottom of it, regardless of any resistance." Johnson gave the order.

Reporters have the most sensitive sense of smell. Many reporters rushed to the scene to take pictures and chased to the hospital to interview Arnold. However, at this time Arnold was already under the protection of both the police and the FBI.

But these reporters also got some vague information that this case might be related to presidential candidate Dewey. After all, when the investigation was conducted, many police officers from the Los Angeles Police Department saw the information, and these police officers were not so tight-lipped.

The next day's newspaper.

Both the New York Times and the Washington Post reported on the car chase and shooting in Los Angeles, but did not explain the reason. They only said that the matter had been handed over to the FBI and was under further investigation.

But the Global Times is more realistic.

The coverage is much bolder than those two newspapers.

"Yesterday at noon, a serious pursuit occurred on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Two cars chased a car crazily, and multiple collisions occurred during the chase, destroying a coffee stand and several buildings."

"The pursuing vehicle fired at the vehicle in front, and finally the three vehicles collided with each other one after another. At this time, the HD patrol team arrived in time and arrested all the suspects."

"According to the police investigating the case, this incident is likely related to New York Governor and presidential candidate John Dewey. They found a suitcase containing millions of dollars in cash, a camera, and a package of information in the car of the person being hunted. The information contained information about John Dewey meeting with representatives of a certain country and accepting political donations."

"The FBI has taken over the case. I believe there will be more accurate information soon. The person being hunted is a reporter from the Global Times in New York named Arnold. Arnold has been shot and injured in a car accident. He is still in a coma, but according to the doctor, his injuries are not serious and he should recover soon."

"I believe that once Arnold wakes up, the whole thing will become clearer."

This was definitely explosive news. People were shocked that presidential candidate Dewey was suspected of sending someone to commit murder.

This news is indeed shocking.

Many people who saw the newspapers thought that the Global Times was bold in writing the story, directly naming Dewey. Other newspapers, on the other hand, were evasive and seemed to be covering up for someone.

Because of the authenticity of the Global Times, people like it more and more, and the reputation of the Global Times has been improved again.

At the same time,

ABC TV also broadcast news with content similar to that of the Global Times. Everyone knows that these two media outlets are owned by the same boss and share information.

......

new york governor's office.

Dewey was reading a newspaper. His face looked extremely ugly at the moment. His assistants and staff stood beside him, with worry written on their faces.

His worst fear had come true.

Someone was sent to give money to the reporter in order to kill him and cover up the truth, but in the end the situation got out of control.

The fact that he accepted political donations from abroad could no longer be concealed.

That's not the point.

The point is that he is now suspected of killing someone who knew the truth, which is a very, very evil thing to do, ten thousand times more evil than accepting political donations.

Now the FBI is involved.

Dewey believed that with the FBI's ability, this matter would definitely be investigated thoroughly. As his opponent, President Johnson would definitely not let go of this rare opportunity.

What to do next?

This is what Dewey is most worried about.

He looked up at his two confidants and asked, "What do you think we should do now?"

The staff thought for a moment and said, "Governor, there is still room for maneuver in this matter. The people we sent out all have secret identities. They are secret investigators from the New York State Attorney's Office. When we find them, we will say that they were sent to arrest people because of blackmail. As for the pursuit, it is only an arrest, not a pursuit."

Murder must never be acknowledged, this is the bottom line.

"What about political donations?" Dewey asked.

The staff shook his head and said helplessly: "This matter can no longer be concealed. It is very easy for the FBI to investigate the source of funds. I think what you need to prepare now is how to express your position to the outside world and admit that you made a mistake in this matter. You just wanted to get closer to the other party. You didn't want to take money, and you will not sell out the interests of the American people."

"Then the money will be returned to the other party to minimize the impact of this incident."

"As for the reporter, we can also sue him, saying that he blackmailed you, and the prosecutors brought the million dollars to lure him into the trap."

Dewey nodded grimly.

"I'm worried that Johnson will hold on to this evidence and the FBI will use its utmost strength," Dewey said worriedly.

The aide said, "I'm afraid that's the case, but this is all we can do now. Unless you take the initiative to contact the other party privately and then give up the election, Johnson may give up the investigation. Otherwise, the other party will definitely seize this issue and make a big fuss."

Give up the election.

How could Dewey be willing to accept this?

He is in a very good position now. Although Johnson has gained some ground, he still has a great chance of winning.

If this incident had not happened, he would have gone on a nationwide speaking tour and would have definitely crushed Johnson's rising approval rating.

Thinking of this troubled political donation.

Dewey wanted to swear again.

You baldy, you really screwed me over.

......

Those people arrested by the FBI finally spoke up because they received secret instructions to reveal their identities. As for what happened at that time, it was a capture operation.

They had practiced before, so their words were consistent.

The identities of the four men are secret detectives of the New York State Attorney's Office. As for the pursuit, it was an arrest operation for reporter Arnold. This statement immediately made the whole matter confusing again.

After hearing the news, Hardy said calmly, "Dewey is not a fool. He must have considered everything before taking action. It is almost impossible to find out whether Dewey ordered the murder. Even if these four people turn against us and say someone ordered them to kill, the person who is finally found out will not be Dewey, but a shield put forward by Dewey."

"It can be said that it was his subordinates who acted on their own initiative, and Dewey was completely unaware of it. This is the world of big shots."

Of course,

Hardy's goal was not to kill Dewey.

Just cripple it.

Now the focus is on Arnold, and Hardy thinks it's time to wake Arnold up.

Arnold finally woke up.

The first thing he said after opening his eyes was, "I need to meet the media and talk about this in front of them, otherwise I feel my personal safety cannot be guaranteed."

The FBI asked for instructions and the report eventually reached President Johnson, who personally ordered the media to be allowed to intervene.

That's it.

Reporters from five of the largest media outlets in the United States, including the Global Times, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and ABC TV, came to Arnold's ward, which was fortunately spacious enough.

Reporters from several newspapers held cameras, and reporters from ABC TV held video cameras. When they came in, they started taking a lot of photos of Arnold.

Arnold leaned against the head of the bed, with a bandage on his shoulder, revealing his strong upper body muscles. Facing several media outlets, Arnold said:

"I know you're very concerned about the pursuit that happened. I was chased by two cars. They shot at me and broke the window of my car. A bullet went into my shoulder. I'm lucky I didn't die."

The reporters thought to themselves, we don’t care about the manhunt, we care about whether Dewey is involved here.

"Why are they hunting you?" a reporter asked.

"This matter started a few days ago. This matter involves a big shot, New York Governor Dewey." Arnold said.

The reporters were excited, and finally they were getting to the point.

"I happened to see something a few days ago: Governor Dewey met with a foreign official at a golf course outside New York. The two chatted for a long time. Not long after, I found out through my connections that there was an extra $5 million in Dewey's secret campaign account, which was transferred from Sao Paulo, Brazil."

"You should know that presidential candidates cannot accept foreign donations for their campaigns. This is against federal law. If foreigners can freely fund our candidates, will the candidates sell out the interests of our country?"

"After I learned about this incident, I felt that it was very newsworthy, but after all, it was just some scattered information. The specific things were speculated by me based on these scattered information, so I did not report it to the newspaper at the time, but decided to investigate secretly."

"After investigating for a few days, I found that there were no more clues, so I thought of a way to contact the other party directly and let him speak out himself. I called Governor Dewey directly, but before the contact, I made a video and audio recording."

A senior FBI agent immediately asked, "Arnold, where are those audio and video recordings? These evidences are very important."

Arnold looked at the man and said, "I can only give it to the Global Times because I took the photos for the company."

The reporter next to him urged, "Arnold, can you please continue?"

"Okay, after I spoke to Governor Dewey, he initially denied it. I said I wanted to make the news public, and he admitted it. He also promised to give me $500,000 to keep me quiet."

After Arnold finished speaking, several reporters sighed softly.

500,000.

This is a huge sum of money.

"Isn't it 1 million? What people found in your car was 1 million?" a reporter asked.

“That’s because something else happened later.”

"After I communicated with Dewey, I was afraid that he would retaliate, so I took the video and audio recordings and mailed the evidence to a friend of mine. If anything happened to me, I asked him to hand the information over to the police or my company, the Global Times."

"I was cautious and did not return to my rented apartment. Instead, I hid in a nearby apartment. I guessed right. The next day, several people came to my door and searched the apartment outside. I filmed it all."

"I was scared, so I called Dewey from a public phone booth. Dewey said he just wanted to talk to me. How could I believe him since they broke into my house? I asked for $1 million, and he agreed. After I hung up, I bought a ticket to Los Angeles. New York is his turf, so I thought Los Angeles would be safer."

"I want to make it clear here that I am not trying to blackmail you. Dewey was once a well-known prosecutor in the United States. As a law enforcer, I want to see how he will handle this matter. To be honest, I am a little disappointed. Not only did he not admit his mistakes, he also planned to use money to silence those who knew about it."

"I recorded the entire incident and planned to make a documentary to show people how a prosecutor handles his mistakes. I also recorded the transaction on the day of the transaction. I believe the tape is in the hands of the police, right?"

Arnold said and looked at the FBI official.

The person in charge nodded and said, "Yes, there was a suitcase with one million in cash, a bag of information and a handheld camera in your car, and the machine was always running."

The FBI official confirmed Arnold's statement.

The interview is complete.

All major newspapers immediately went back to prepare articles. As for the audio and video recordings, Arnold told the head of the Global Times, and the head of the Global Times and the FBI found other information, which was shared by the two newspapers.

The newspapers will not be distributed until tomorrow, but ABC TV is preparing to broadcast this news in the evening. This shows the timeliness of the TV station, which is faster and more timely than the newspapers.

ABC specially arranged a prime time slot in the evening to broadcast the full interview with Arnold, with a host providing commentary.

Presidential candidate Dewey was the most popular presidential candidate this year, but he unexpectedly violated federal law by accepting political donations funded by foreigners. After being discovered, he not only did not admit his mistake, but also secretly mobilized personnel from the prosecutorial system to illegally arrest reporters, used money to silence those who knew the truth, and may even be suspected of killing those who knew the truth.

Any one of these things would be surprising, but now all of them added together are simply shocking.

Scandal,

This is definitely the biggest political scandal of the year.
