Chapter 1963: Chapter 1787: Press Conference Ten minutes later. The meeting ends. However. The day’s work is far from over; downstairs, around the corner, the police department’s press conference is underway, announcing Myanmar’s request to Sweden for enhanced security, which has already spread. Media from various countries are present. A bit late? No. Not even at dusk; for news, they could work deep into the night. Typically, such a press conference could be postponed until tomorrow, but Swedish police didn’t want unscrupulous media to muddy the waters. So. Another press conference was held in the evening. "Can you tell us, where did the weapons carried by the killed villains come from?" A journalist stood up. The first one. And very sharp. "We are investigating." The spokesperson’s answer was quite perfunctory. It had to be; among Nordic countries, only Sweden bans guns, but for years, the effect has been poor. Investigate? Impossible, it can’t be traced. Thus. This question can’t have an answer; if it does, it will lead to the next blow: why does your police allow these weapons to flow into the villains’ hands through XX channels? This is a trap. Upon hearing this. The journalist sat down disappointedly. Next one. "Can you tell us, what is the identity of these villains?" "We are investigating." "Are the villains under someone’s direction?" "We are investigating." "Are the villains connected to the Duha Research Institute?" The fourth journalist stood up and asked, causing a hubbub on-site. Looking at the polar bear journalist, some had eyes of discontent, others had a strong excitement. Scientist. Duha Research Institute. Hacker. Fred. These are popular terms lately, all selling points. Those in the European Union showed dissatisfaction, while others, naturally, just watched the show without ’Western pride.’ Upon hearing. The spokesperson shook his head. "Currently, there is no evidence linking Duha Research Institute to this villains’ incident." However. This question is also a trap without a right answer. "No evidence? Does that mean Duha Research Institute is suspected, only you haven’t found any evidence?" Another journalist stood up, his eager look made the spokesperson want to hit someone. This question. Hides the next trap. Should one say: "Irrelevant." The journalist will ask: "Will Swedish police guarantee?" This. Is more of a dilemma; saying no guarantee means ’Irrelevant’ is misspoken, can’t prove, you say irrelevant, obviously biased. Saying ’Investigating’ is a return to the previous trap. --- Suspecting Duha Research Institute. Thus. After much consideration, why should Swedish police vouch for a German research institute? Balancing it, the spokesperson said: "Currently still investigating, many have motives." "We will not overlook any possibility." As the words fell. The journalists below were satisfied. Notes written: "Swedish police do not rule out Duha Research Institute’s suspicion." For this. The spokesperson can’t do anything; journalists’ ability to take things out of context is too strong, it’s almost impossible to avoid linguistic pitfalls, just a matter of scale, Swedish police chose neutrality. Fortunately. Getting what they wanted. Journalists did not delve deeper into this trap. "How is the police ensuring the safety of the three scientists?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶 "Increasing police force." "If a similar scale, or even larger attack occurs again, are the police well-prepared?" "No comment." "In this case of eight against dozens, with several casualties, does it signify that Swedish police lack experience in handling intense conflicts, or is it due to lack of regular training?" "..." The questions. Are increasingly sharp, soon touching upon police capabilities, the spokesperson strives to uphold the police image, exaggerating the villains’ abilities; in short, it’s not their incompetence, but the opponents being too strong. After about ten minutes. "Thank you." Wiping cold sweat, the spokesperson stepped down. Internally cursing, if there are three kinds of people bound for hell, among them, he would definitely choose these journalists who stir up trouble. ... "Swedish police state they do not rule out Duha Research Institute’s suspicion!" Soon. This provocative headline appeared in media worldwide; Western media aren’t worried about repercussions as citizens would spin it, but in countries unaffected by Western media. Ha. In any case, they will criticize them. Thus. The media’s stance isn’t the issue, but the direction of public opinion in an entire society; often, public sentiment is a matter of vested interest deciding one’s perspective, might as well grab eyeballs. At that moment. The world heats up. "Can such things be tied together?" "What’s the motive?" "Technology." "Doesn’t Duha Research Institute have it?" "Not mature enough." "By that measure, there are hundreds, thousands with motives; doesn’t every company want it?" "It’s simply their rivalry status." "..." As anticipated by the media, the title is sensational, yet the content didn’t create much impact in the West; in non-Western countries, it was met with uniform disdain, whitewashing? Who would bother to whitewash for foreigners? However. The support from Western citizens cannot make Germany’s Fred relax in the slightest. Ultimately. Lies must be exposed. ... Greece. Seaview Manor. "Bang!" The elder slammed the table, feeling very displeased. Deployment? Police? Brother. Can you lower the difficulty for us a bit? Previous arrangements were just some armored vehicles; now, replaced with deployment, plans must be modified, substantially so, but fortunately it hasn’t reached the point of collapse. "Continue the preparation." "Understood." "Carefully investigate these two events, happening on the same day, I don’t believe it’s accidental." The elder frowned, the hacker case is said to be curious, he can barely believe it, anyway the person is dead. However. Add in the villains’ incident, it’s too coincidental. "Yes." The butler complied. "Is someone helping them?" The elder muttered. "Possibly." "Who could it be?" "Unclear, substitution scheme itself flawed, transcription fluid evaporates easily, no residue possible in test samples, but it’s possible they found the flaw over there." The butler analyzed. This scheme. To be honest. Is not refined, flawed, and as time progresses, the flaws enlarge, they expended considerable effort maintaining this scheme’s stability but ultimately it’s imperfect. Therefore. If the Myanmar Bank Group really saw through it, he wouldn’t be surprised; as to whether the consortiums aware of it leaked, the butler first dismissed it, doesn’t logically make sense, no need to sabotage. "Would it be related to that organization?" The elder said. Upon hearing. The butler remained silent for a while, then nodded, "It’s possible. Last attempt against Ling was thwarted, losing several hundred lives, shows they’re adept at hiding and intelligence gathering." Upon mention. The room suddenly quieted down. Several hundred lives. God! This was in the United States, even around Washington, truly crazy enough.
