Instead, it's a small group of unscrupulous media, trying to boost news ratings, claiming the Los Angeles Police Department shouldn't intervene in the terrorist attack cases.

They think our power is too great and even accuse us of abusing our authority.

Under this kind of public pressure, the Los Angeles Police Department had no choice but to withdraw from the investigation of the terrorist attack cases. It's not that we are irresponsible, but that we can't continue investigating because our 'power' is too great!

This makes our officers feel very wronged and confused.

Some officers asked me, Chief, did we do something wrong?

Shouldn't we be arresting terrorists?

Shouldn't we be protecting this city?"

Reid sighed deeply and shrugged, "Hearing these words makes me uncomfortable, I don't know how to answer!

Our officers risked great dangers to arrest terrorists, yet they are accused by unscrupulous media of having too much power.

But no one cares about the safety of the officers, nor does anyone care about the feelings of their families."

Reid's expression was solemn, and his voice was powerful, as he looked at Melche Moran in the audience, "Ma'am, I don't know if this answer satisfies you?

But we, the Los Angeles Police Department, have indeed done our best."

Melche Moran was in a daze for a moment, then slowly turned around and looked at the many reporters, shouting with a choking voice, "It's all because of you that my boyfriend was killed, and I've also seen those reports criticizing the LAPD.

If it weren't for your accusations that the LAPD had too much power, they would still be involved in the investigation of the terrorist attack cases, and my boyfriend wouldn't have died, and those students wouldn't have died. It's you who killed them."

The surrounding area suddenly fell silent.

Then, some victims' families stood up and began to blame the unscrupulous media.

Even journalists didn't dare face the wrath of the victims' families of the terrorist attacks directly.

Fortunately, with officers maintaining order, no trouble occurred.

A white male reporter stood up and loudly asked, "This afternoon, an explosion and intense shootout occurred in an apartment in downtown Los Angeles.

It's said that the FBI was capturing terrorists. I saw Captain Li from the Robbery and Murder Department on the scene.

Since the Los Angeles Police Department has already withdrawn from the investigation of the terrorist attack cases, why was he on the scene?"

Reid and Luke exchanged a glance, "Captain Li is right on the scene, let him explain himself."

Luke took the stage, "Yesterday, I received a notification from the police department's senior management. Due to public pressure, the Los Angeles Police Department decided to withdraw from the investigation of the terrorist attack cases. To be honest, when I first received this order, both I and my officers felt uncomfortable.

But we still followed the order and handed over the case files to the Department of Homeland Security.

This morning, a terrorist attack occurred at Steven Community College.

The head of the FBI's counter-terrorism approached me, hoping I could assist her in handling the terrorist attack case.

I'm not just part of the LAPD, I'm also an investigative consultant for the FBI.

So now I'm investigating this terrorist attack case as an investigative consultant for the FBI."

Reid continued, "Captain Li deeply loves this city.

He is also doing his utmost to protect it.

This is the sentiment of many of our officers, we deeply love this city."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

A round of applause erupted around.

This press conference wasn't long.

But it was very effective, turning around the unfavorable opinion of the Los Angeles Police Department just in time.

Nowadays, online media is very advanced. Not only can journalists voice their opinions, various self-media can also publish news and videos.

Some are even calling for the Los Angeles Police Department to re-engage in the investigation of terrorist attack cases.

But such a proposal is obviously not in line with the procedures.

However, it has at least greatly reduced the pressure on the Los Angeles Police Department, and public favor towards them has increased significantly.

Luke's continuation of the terrorist attack case investigation in his role as an FBI investigative consultant is also seen as an expression of his deep love for the city, enhancing his popularity.

Luke, a famous detective in Los Angeles, has gained even greater fame.

Through this incident, Luke discovered another issue.

Sometimes doing more doesn't yield more rewards, public opinion plays a significant role.

Reid is someone who is very adept at utilizing public opinion, holding a press conference promptly to rectify the Los Angeles Police Department's reputation when online trends turned unfavorable.

Luke thought he should also learn from Reid, that being able to talk is sometimes more important than being able to do the work, and he needs to have a platform for expressing himself externally.

Nami Inoue.

Luke saw Nami Inoue in the crowd.

Her striking figure was conspicuous among the crowd, but her status as an intern journalist didn't allow her to stand at the forefront. If she wants to become a famous journalist, she has a long way to go.

Of course, if there are external aids that allow her to get as much quality news as possible, it wouldn't be a bad shortcut, the key is whether she can grasp it.

Luke arranged to meet with Nami Inoue to discuss collaboration matters. Now that Luke is quite successful, even in cooperation, he takes the lead.

He wants to report some news beneficial to him through Nami Inoue's journalist status.

As to why he chose Nami Inoue, there are mainly two reasons.

The first reason is that Nami Inoue has been entangled in the terrorist attack case, and after learning about a threatening video related to herself, she informed him at the first opportunity, so Luke feels indebted to her.

The second reason is that Nami Inoue is still an intern journalist, making her relatively easier to manage.
