The Boston terrorist attack took place on April 15, 2013 at Copley Square in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. A total of two bombs exploded in the terrorist attack, the first in a spectator area near the finish line of the marathon race, and the second in a sporting goods store. Although three spectators watching the race beside the track died, one of them was a Chinese female student studying in the United States. But at the same time, 183 people were injured, 17 were seriously injured, and some even had their legs amputated. In the face of such a terrifying attack, the FBI took over decisively. It is not an easy task to solve the case in a short period of time, but they did it and successfully solved the case 5 days later. In the detection process: professional FBI, brave local police, wise Chinese witnesses, and enthusiastic resident old men all played a crucial role. Let me take a closer look at the key people who solved the case:
1. Sharp-eyed FBI video surveillance officer: After taking over the case, the person in charge asked for a huge warehouse as a temporary base for the investigation. I saw hundreds of people sitting in front of the computer facing the incident: the crowd at the end of the marathon, conducting slow-motion inspections. It is not an easy task to find a suspect in this crowded audience. Hours of non-stop searching were fruitless. After checking repeatedly, a monitor found that one spectator was very special: the other spectators looked to the left, but he looked to the right, as if he had no interest in the runners who ran to the finish line. Can put the picture to the maximum and can't see what he looks like.
2. Brave local policeman: Just when everyone was at a loss, a brave local policeman, the male protagonist, suggested that the investigation should start with the injured patients in the hospital as eyewitnesses. Then they found the male protagonist and asked him to guess the route the suspect might have traveled. The hard work paid off, and the suspect's clear face was quickly found. It turned out that he also had a partner, and they each wore a baseball cap.
There is also an admirable, gray-haired old policeman, despite his advanced age, in the process of wrestling with two criminals, he was not afraid to kill a criminal with a gun. It was the fighting spirit with rich experience and fear of sacrifice that finally won, which made the audience applaud with sweaty palms.
3. Wisdom Chinese witnesses: When the clear faces of the two suspects are found, will they be made public? Letting the public come together to find the suspect has become the biggest controversy between the head of the FBI and the Boston Sheriff. Because there is no sufficient evidence, the suspect's information cannot be disclosed for the time being, so as not to be alarmed. But the two suspects couldn't hold it any longer and they were about to run away. Seeing a policeman sitting in a police car, they fired up the robbery pistol and killed the policeman. The brothers who wanted to go to New York to continue their terrorist activities wanted to change to a better car and hijacked a Chinese man sitting in a Mercedes-Benz.
The man is Chinese, and looks thin and frail wearing glasses, but when they were at the gas station, he took the opportunity to grab the door to escape, and quickly ran to the store for help. Call the police in time and accurately report the vehicle information and the GPS positioning password of the car to the police. This also shows that this Chinese-Chinese man is not only brave, intelligent, but also attentive. The clues he reported to the police have also become the key point in solving the case.
One was placed in a pressure cooker and hidden in a backpack as a result of the two bombs the criminals blew. Fragments after the explosion show that the killer who made the improvised bomb put nails, steel balls and other materials in the pot. So the lethality is very strong, causing nearly 200 people to be injured in various ways, which also aroused the police's fighting spirit to solve the case. The police all over the city were dispatched, all chasing the criminal's vehicle, and soon the two criminals were surrounded by the police. The suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev (brother), was killed in the fierce battle.
4. Local resident old man: At this time, the injured younger brother drove away. When the police chased him, he had abandoned the car and disappeared without a trace. Boston police began to search every house one by one, and asked the public to actively cooperate: stay at home and not go out, the photos of the criminals were repeatedly broadcast on TV, and there was no progress. When a gray-haired resident old man carefully noticed the movement of someone in the wooden boat parked outside the door, he wanted to check and was told by his wife that it was dangerous not to go out. But he insisted on going out to inquire and called the police as soon as possible, so the police surrounded the wooden boat and soon his younger brother surrendered.
Boston police announced on the evening of the 19th local time that the fugitive bomb suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (brother) had been arrested. The younger brother, Dzhokhar University classmates, all three are 19 years old. After the FBI announced that the younger brother was a suspect in the bombing, they were suspected of destroying evidence, and one of them lied to investigators and was charged. If the Chinese man and the old man were blind as they did, then the case might never be solved, the criminals would be more proud and arrogant, and there would be more and more terrorist incidents.
Think of the recent case of a lady from Hangzhou who was deliberately murdered at home by her husband: how could a big living person disappear at home for more than 10 days? The work unit came to her, relatives and friends also came to her and called the police. Many netizens paid attention to and speculated on the Internet. It was these kind-hearted people who were nosy, so the police paid enough attention. Although his husband thought he was clever and had no flaws in his planning, in front of the professional police, he still revealed the truth and was defeated. He even dismembered his wife's body and put it into a septic tank. This kind of unconscionable and bad behavior will eventually be severely punished by the law. How could he explain to his young daughter? How to face the condemnation of the soul of the undead wife and the people every day? He will live rather than die!
In the end, prosecutors charged Dzhokhar with as many as 30 counts of homicide and the use of weapons of mass destruction, and 17 of them would face Dzhokhar facing life imprisonment or even the death sentence.
