FBI agent Armand Hains walked over, saying, "Sir, there are a large number of victims' relatives gathered outside Steven Community College, and the situation is a bit chaotic."

Lynn Brouss sighed lightly, "What are their demands?"

"After learning of the terror attack at Steven Community College, these people immediately tried to contact their family members studying at the college, but were unable to, which is why they've come to the college.

They urgently want to know about the status of their family members.

Some even tried to break into the school but were stopped by the patrol officers assisting in maintaining order."

Lynn Brouss felt a bit of a headache too. This terror attack resulted in numerous casualties, and confirming the identities of the deceased and communicating with their families is a major task, which is why she requested Luke's help in the investigation.

Cases like this easily distract and carry significant responsibilities.

Lynn Brouss said to agent Armand Hains, "Tell them that the situation at the terrorism scene is quite complicated, and the FBI is still processing the scene. Some people being unreachable doesn't necessarily mean something happened. Once the FBI verifies the identities of the deceased, the families will be notified immediately. Tell them to go back and wait for news."

Lynn Brouss's expression was frighteningly grim. She was well aware that saying this wouldn't be of much use; those families wouldn't leave easily.

However, without clarifying the information at the scene, and before confirming the deceased's identities, she wasn't in a position to make a public statement in front of the media. The families were very emotional and wouldn't be polite, and with the media stirring things up on the side, it could potentially become a difficult situation.

For now, it's best to stabilize the situation until the families accept the reality, which might help calm the emotions.

This terror attack is a major event and will certainly become big news. If handled improperly, it could have a terrible impact.

Luke and Lynn Brouss can only work as fast as possible to catch the terrorist.

The two then divided their tasks: Lynn Brouss investigated the source of the biochemical weapons.

Creating biochemical weapons isn't an easy task; besides professional knowledge, it requires funds, a laboratory, and raw materials. These factors can all be investigation directions.

Luke was responsible for tracking the terrorist who carried out the attack, which is also an area he's skilled in.

Subsequently, Luke called up the surveillance footage from the community college.

In the surveillance footage, Luke spotted a suspicious man. The man was wearing a headscarf, carrying a black backpack. When he entered the school, the backpack was full, but it was obviously deflated when he left.

Moreover, his actions were very suspicious.

There's surveillance in the hallway, but due to the angle, it couldn't capture the doorway of the classroom where the terrorist attack happened, only the nearby area. The man in the headscarf entered this vicinity.

Also, the timing of his departure was odd. It coincided with the time of the terrorist attack, combined with his race, Luke suspected that this man was most likely the terrorist they were looking for.

The FBI then began investigating the man.

The investigation was split into two parts: the man's identity and his whereabouts.

After being recognized by multiple school staff and students, no one knew this man with the headscarf. He was likely not a teacher or student at the community college.

Also, according to the on-site investigative personnel's testing, the black box that released the virus did not find any biological evidence of the suspected terrorist.

The FBI now could only attempt to identify him through facial recognition.

Luke didn't have high hopes for facial recognition.

First, the database must have this person's facial data; without it, a match can't be made.

Secondly, it's a matter of probability. Comparing data takes time, and if it takes too long, it could impact the police investigation.

Thus, Luke focused the investigation on the movements of the man with the headscarf.

By reviewing the surveillance video of the community college, the man with the headscarf left the college gates at 9:10 AM and walked east along the road. No transportation means have been discovered yet.

Luke sent people to collect surveillance footage along the way.

This task was rather tedious and required time and patience.

This is actually a typical work method for the police; most police work is quite monotonous.

Surveillance from along the road gradually gathered in Luke's hands.

Luke personally reviewed each surveillance video. His observation skills surpassed ordinary people, and his speed at watching surveillance videos was much faster than that of ordinary people.

He needed to use these intermittent road surveillance videos to infer the exact whereabouts of the man with the headscarf.

Just then, Armand Hains walked over, "Consultant Lee, we've matched the man with the headscarf against the FBI's facial database and discovered his identity, Hard Abbas."

Luke was a bit surprised, "So quickly?"

Armand Hains handed over a file, "This is his detailed information."

Luke took the file to look over.

Name, Hard Abbas

Age, 21

Ethnicity, Middle Eastern

Immigration Date, March 14, 2020

Contact, 310 483 9283

Address, 309 Carpe Community.

Looking at it, Luke suddenly understood why this facial data comparison was so fast; because these people were possibly targets of interest.

The FBI likely categorized them differently.

This is also the advantage of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.

This is what they do.
