There was no response. After a while, the door slowly opened. The two criminals saw Lin Muze pushing the cart and were stunned for a moment. Then, they were thinking about something.
After a while, one of the criminals pointed a gun at Lin Muze and asked him to put down the cart and leave.
At this moment, the negotiation writer used the walkie-talkie to contact the criminals inside.
“I request that one of our people go in and exchange for one of the hostages inside to ensure that the hostage is safe.”
“Do you think that’s possible?”
The criminal inside retorted. He rejected the negotiation expert’s request.
The negotiation expert continued,
“You have to know that negotiating conditions is a matter between both parties. You can’t just do whatever you want! I’ve already sent you the food. If you can’t change the hostage now, we can’t continue the negotiation. We can’t continue to be passive. You have to give us some benefits.”
The negotiation expert said in a tough tone.
The criminal stopped talking. After a long silence, the criminal’s voice came through the walkie – talkie.
“Alright, let’s change the hostage. If I find out that the person brought a weapon in, don’t blame me for dying with the hostage. You guys forced me to do this.”
When the negotiation expert heard this, he hurriedly ran to Chief Zhao and Qin
Yuan and asked anxiously,
“Chief Zhao, Captain Qin, the criminals have agreed to exchange hostages, but they said that if the person who went in brought a weapon, they would be desperate and die with all the hostages! Did the person who went in bring any weapons?”
Don’t worry, I didn’t bring any weapons.”
Qin Yuan said calmly. It was Qin Yuan’s idea to ask for a hostage exchange. He had already expected this to happen, so he let Lin Muze go in alone without bringing anything.
At the entrance of the building, the two criminals were about to ask Lin Muze to put down the cart and leave when their boss’s voice suddenly came from the Bluetooth earpiece in their ears, signaling for the person who delivered the food to come in.
The two criminals were just subordinates and listened to their boss’s arrangements, so they changed their words,
Lin Muze silently pushed the cart in. He did not speak the entire time. After entering, the criminals closed the door. Just as the door was about to close completely, they pushed out a person. It was the hostage inside.
Immediately, a police officer went up and comforted the hostage. He brought her to a safe place and asked about the situation inside the hostage. At the same time, he waited for Bureau Chief Zhao and Qin Yuan to come over.
Chief Zhao asked as soon as he came over, “What’s the situation inside?”
A police officer stood up and reported seriously,
“According to the description of the hostages, there are a total of nineteen hostages inside. The robbers don’t know how many there are, but the people who come in and out are all wearing masks. There are no less than four of them!”
“Alright, I got it.”
After Chief Zhao heard the report, he agreed to a round to show that he understood, so he called over the negotiation expert and said,
“Is there still no other movement from the other party? It’s hard to know what their motive is if they don’t ask for it.”
Even though he Imew the answer, Chief Zhao still looked exhausted when he heard it. They had been in a stalemate for half a day, and they did not even Imow what the other party wanted to do.
Inside,
After Lin Muze followed them in, he was thoroughly searched. After he found that there was no problem, he was asked to go to the group of hostages and squat down. Then, he got someone to distribute the food.
In the hall on the second floor, a person who seemed to be the leader of this gang of criminals sat on the sofa and smiled at Lin Muze, who was wearing a police uniform.
“Newcomer! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you if you come in to exchange for hostages?”
“We serve the people. Wherever there is a need, we will be there!”
Lin Muze replied firmly.
“Haha, good! Well said! However, you are now in my hands, and your life is in my hands. No matter how righteous you are, it’s easy for me to kill you!”
The leader smiled proudly and took the lunch box from the person beside him. He was about to eat.
Suddenly, he smelled a rancid smell. He sniffed carefully and realized that the rancid smell was coming from the lunchbox in his hand. He threw it on the table at the side and cursed,
“What kind of unscrupulous merchant dares to sell rotten rice!”
“Alright, Viper, stop complaining. Anyway, we ordered so many more servings. It doesn’t matter if we eat another serving.”
Another bandit saw this scene and advised.
Hence, Viper changed to another serving and started eating.
Little did they know that Qin Yuan had deliberately arranged for the bento box to go bad. The box was black and had a few holes in it. It was installed with miniature cameras in all directions. It was very hidden and would not be discovered unless the food was poured out.
This scene was clearly seen by Qin Yuan and the others in the temporary command center outside. After observing for a while, they confirmed that there were a total of 19 hostages and 8 criminals inside, including Lin Muze. “Reporting to Captain Qin! He Chengguang is already in position!”
He Chengguang’s voice came from Captain Qin’s earpiece. He Chengguang was arranged by Qin Yuan to go to the stairs of another building nearby. From there, he could observe every move inside. Unfortunately, the windows were sealed by the criminals, so he could only wait for an opportunity with his sniper rifle.
“Stand by!”
Qin Yuan gave He Chengguang an order.
“Got it.”
After Qin Yuan gave the order, he saw that Chief Zhao seemed to be thinking about something and had some ideas, so he waited quietly at the side.
After a while, Bureau Chief Zhao suddenly called over the negotiation expert and said to the negotiation expert,
“You negotiate with the bandits inside and ask them to send someone out to talk to us face to face! As long as the bandits come out and talk, the situation will slowly be under our control. We won’t be so passive anymore.”
“Yes, sir!”
The negotiation expert responded and used the wireless intercom to contact the criminals inside.
“You’re kidnapping hostages inside because you want something. You can send someone out to talk to him face to face!”
“Why?”
An arrogant voice came from the walkie-talkie. It was Viper.
“Not talking? Then we won’t agree to anything you want in the future?”
The negotiation expert said in a threatening tone.
“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to go out and talk to you!”
Hearing this, Viper could not agree. After all, they took the risk just to get something.
After ending the conversation, Viper said to the criminal who had tried to dissuade him,
“Centipede. Go out and negotiate with the police!”
“Why? Viper, if you agree to them like this, won’t we slowly turn from being the proactive one to being the passive one? It’s very disadvantageous to our future situation! I don’t agree!”
Centipede shouted in confusion!
“I know, but I have no choice. Do you think they are idiots? They won’t give up until they see the rabbit. They won’t agree to anything. If we force them, they won’t give us anything. Do you really want to kill the hostage? We’re here for money!”
Viper refuted Centipede.
Centipede knew that this was the only way, so he put on his mask and walked out with his gun.
The door slowly opened, and Centipede walked out. He shouted at the people outside,
“I’m here to negotiate with you!”
The guard immediately led him to a makeshift table and chair. Chief Zhao and Qin Yuan were sitting there, and a negotiation expert was sitting beside them. The centipede did not stand on ceremony. It sat down and said impatiently.
“Tell me, what do you want to talk about?”
“How should I address you?”
“Centipede!”
Everyone present knew that this was his code name, so they did not pursue the matter too deeply.
Qin Yuan released his aura and asked unhurriedly,
“Centipede, what do you need to do to release the hostage?”
Centipede was only a little uncomfortable facing Qin Yuan’s oppression. After all, Centipede and the others were acting as bandits from other military regions. They could handle this kind of situation.
Besides, all the outlaws wanted money more than their lives. Even the real criminals would not give in so easily.
Centipede raised his eyebrows and asked provocatively,
“You want to know?”
Qin Yuan and Bureau Chief Zhao ignored them, and the people present ignored Centipede. Originally, Centipede wanted to ask this question to make the people opposite him anxious and keep them in suspense. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan did not buy it at all and drank his tea leisurely.
The centipede felt a little awkward when it saw that no one was talking to it.. It could not keep its expression on anymore, so it extended two fingers and shook them!
