To avoid alerting the bomb maker, vehicles outside the slaughterhouse gradually left, appearing relaxed on the outside but tense within.
Half an hour later, Reid also arrived at the slaughterhouse.
Since a bomb was discovered, it was very likely related to terrorism, although it couldn't be confirmed yet, Reid felt it necessary to inform the relevant departments.
There are many counter-terrorism departments in America, and their jurisdictions often overlap with each other.
Domestically, the most common counter-terrorism agencies are the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
After a ten-minute phone call, Reid decided to inform the FBI, just to give them a heads-up.
After all, the FBI is part of the police department, and their cooperation is more extensive.
Of course, discovering a bomb doesn't necessarily mean it's absolutely related to terrorism.
So the police will continue to investigate the case and apprehend the murderer of Anette Stone.
4 PM.
