The Goddess Shines on America

"At about 6:30 tonight, a gun battle erupted in the Medea Mall in downtown Los Angeles. According to information provided by the people at the scene of the incident, three men broke into the women's restroom on the third floor of the mall in an attempt to commit crimes. Later, the victim counterattacked and knocked down two. The third person was armed with an automatic shooting weapon, causing a lot of chaos during the escape process, and it was simply not in the hands of innocent pedestrians. For details, please let us connect with the reporter at the scene..."

"Hi everyone, this is the NBC news live broadcast. I'm Mike Gilley. At around 6:30 p.m. Western time today, a shootout broke out in downtown Los Angeles. Shooting wildly in the shopping mall, and forcibly snatching a motorcycle to escape, the police failed to track down his whereabouts..."

"This incident had a very bad impact. At that time, the Medea Commercial Building was at the peak time of passenger flow. There were a large number of customers in the jewelry and cosmetics area on the first floor and the gourmet area on the eighth floor. The shooting by the gunman in the courtyard on the third floor caused almost Hundreds of customers felt extremely disturbed, and the person in charge of the Medea Mall said..."

"At present, the media is still restrained."

Sergey Brin turned off the TV, and said to Alice, Brody and Wang's family who were invited into the police station: "We haven't released more information to them yet, but this incident happened after all. In the city center during rush hour, you will inevitably receive the mayor's high attention, and your troubles are not small."

As he spoke, he looked at the two direct participants in this incident and sighed helplessly.

Of course, Alice and Brody didn't stay at the scene foolishly. The perspective of the public and the media is always one-sided. If a photo of them being taken into the police car was really taken, it would be a big trouble to deal with it. And needless to say, this will definitely have serious adverse effects on the stock prices of Cisco and Microsoft.

But good law-abiding citizens still have to deal with the police after all, so immediately after, they went to the downtown police station to report the crime. To Alice's surprise, the police officer in charge of receiving them turned out to be her old acquaintance, Sergeant Breen, who had been in contact with her many times.

"It's okay to talk about troubles or anything, as long as the child is safe." James sighed, and he was watering the flowers at home when he suddenly heard this kind of news. No normal parent could calm down: "And Officer Breen, please allow me to represent the whole family." Many people expressed their gratitude to the police. If any information about Alice is leaked, it will easily attract random suspicion from the media."

Speaking of this, everyone present felt a little sad. The robber who escaped in the end fled quickly after the motorcycle exploded, and people only knew his clothes at most. The two triad members who were unconscious in the bathroom have now been detained in the police station. The media followed her all the way. If the "victim and perpetrator" Alice was put in the spotlight at this time, God knows what those long guns and short guns can make up.

"Oh, regarding this aspect, we also start from the perspective of the overall situation."

As soon as James finished speaking, the office door opened, put down the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, and Gary Jenderson walked into the room: "After all, your daughter is a public figure, and to be honest, half of the police officers in our smaller police station have bought it. What about the stocks of Microsoft and Cisco. If all of them are exposed at once, my car loan in recent years will be enough to pay off.”

Having said that, everyone was relieved for a while. As one of the people who came here purely to watch the fun, Oscar interrupted at this moment: "By the way, Uncle Sergey, I haven't had time to congratulate you, you have been transferred from Culver City to the downtown headquarters."

"Hey, our careers are developing," Sergey Brin got up to make room for the director, and dragged another chair to sit down: "It's you, Oscar, who hasn't been caught by any damn high school student or Are college students bullying?"

Oscar was answering, while Alice hummed inconspicuously.

"Then, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, and Alice." Director Jenderson finally nodded to "Bodyguard" Brody: "In the principle of transparency, it is impossible for us not to disclose the inside story of the case to the media, so what about your daughter? Regarding the matter with this Mr. Bruder, since Ms. Wang is a lawyer, do you have any thoughts?"

"It depends on how we operate this matter, Mr. Director."

Sophie said: "This incident can be divided into two stages, one is two triad members attacking Alice in the women's toilet, and the other is Alice fighting with a third gunman."

"In the first stage, Alice was undoubtedly self-defense. The two gang members were both in their twenties, and both held daggers, and the other one was carrying a Desert|Desert|Eagle, Alice. Being able to knock them out one by one, the nature of it is the same as the DC comics that teenagers often read, and she will only be admired."

Alice smirked very cooperatively, and it was a standard three-paragraph woodpecker style, so why not her sister Hannah.

"As for the subsequent shootout, if we analyze the cause and effect, including the surveillance video provided by the mall, we will find that when the man rushed out of the women's toilet, Brody just ran up and yelled to stop. With a loud voice, ushered in The kidnapper's behavior of firing AK guns in public places, from this moment, his criminal behavior has been drawn on the line."

"Of course, Alice fired twice in the bathroom. But I believe that unless the kidnapper hires a lawyer with no conscience and the judge is bribed with a lot of money, no one will just judge it as Alice's crime." An act of self-defense."

"You're right," the sheriff interjected, while Sophie drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat: "Because Alice shot after the man fired wildly, and the bullets in the whole magazine were pierced through." More than a dozen squatting door panels, thank God, no one else was in there at the time."

Make no mistake, the police have been helping Alice out of trouble from the very beginning. Facing a violent rapist armed with a murder weapon, or a lunatic who shoots wildly with an automatic gun in public without saying a word, any response behavior of any common people is normal.

"So, even though Alice fired a total of four shots, two of which were the ones that smashed the glass door of the commercial building and hit the fuel tank of the motorcycle, which are very risky, but as long as the lawyer works a little bit, then she is Little hero~"

The atmosphere at the scene was always calm, and half of the police officers in the police station were stockholders of Microsoft and Cisco. Facing the rising and potential development prospects, of course, no one hoped that their bosses would have any surprises. While the family and the director continued to talk, Sergey Brin sat on a chair next to him, looking thoughtfully at this magical girl.

So after a while, Alice felt uncomfortable in his eyes: "Officer Breen, do you have any questions?"

Sergey smiled slightly and said, "Alice, it hasn't been long before and after, do you remember Fury?"

Flynn?

Ah, that little boy who was accidentally rescued by himself in the firefight between drug dealers three years ago.

It's true that I haven't seen each other for a long time. With the continuous development of various careers and the rapid expansion of my life circle, how can an ordinary boy who is only ten years old make her pay more attention? However, this brat is one of the few people who witnessed his use of superpowers after all, and it is always good to pay more attention.

"Is Flynn doing well recently? Since he has a heroic and invincible sheriff like you as his adoptive father, does he also regard this profession as his ideal in life?"

"Actually, he's interested in business."

The director was talking about business with Sophie and James, while Sergey chatted with Alice exclusively: "That kid always talks about you, not so much that he regards me as an idol, but rather as an idol." You are more appropriate."

Every sentence seemed to contain more potential meanings, which made Alice tense up, because as Sergey said immediately: "I'm really curious, you and him obviously also It’s just one thing I’ve seen, how could he not forget it until now? Thanks to you being a public figure, otherwise he would have to pester me, my father who is a policeman, to investigate you.”

Subtext, there is definitely subtext, after all, the guilty Alice feels uncomfortable even looking directly at Hilgain. After all, not to mention the distance, she once came to hypnotize Sergey in person, and then took Flynn kid to New Mexico. My little adopted son kept talking about a girl he had only met once, how could the father who is a policeman not think too much about it?

Fortunately, just when Alice returned her thoughts back to New Mexico, the boss of a company that had set up headquarters in Albuquerque called all the way from Washington State.

"Mr. Director." The office door opened, and a policeman showed his face and said, "Mr. Gates from Microsoft is calling and wants to get more information about tonight's shootout."

"Ah, leave that question to me."

Thanks to Gai Zi for giving her the opportunity to stay away from Sergey, Alice bounced up from her seat with a whoosh: "Come here, Director, where is your office?"

"Go out and turn right... Oh well, I'll take you there."

During the chat just now, Chief Gary Jenderson told the two parents that he bought 20,000 dollars worth of Cisco stock. For a policeman, this is by no means an ordinary investment. Therefore, facing the company's boss's question, the small stockholders are happy to get close to her.

The two walked out of the office one after another. Sergey couldn't help but fell into deep thought as he looked at the background of the girl who had brought him too many surprises and confusions.
