Chapter 29: The Glory of the World (1)
The robbery occurred in the business hall of the branch office of the Municipal Construction Bank on Jianshe North Road. An hour before the incident, Lao Wang, a retired employee of the city's post and telecommunications bureau at that time, brought 50,000 yuan in cash to save money, but just as he was filling out the form, a masked strong man broke into the bank with a gun, snatched 50,000 yuan in cash on the spot, and then shot and injured the bank's security guard, a bank saleswoman, and three other people, and Lao Wang, who had deposited the money, was shot dead on the spot and fell in a pool of blood.
Although the robbers fled the bank by car, because the police blocked the four intersections on the left and right, a large number of police forces outflanked them from four directions, and the robbers had no choice but to abandon the car and break into a café on the east side of Jianshe South Road, taking many hostages in the café and confronting the police with guns.
Dozens of people from the public security brigade of the city bureau, all the personnel of the nearby Jianhe Road police station, the special service squadron of the special police team were also dispatched, and a squadron of the armed police, hundreds of police forces surrounded this café called Brilliant World in a flooded, and outside the yellow cordon, both sides of the road were also surrounded by crowds of people watching the excitement.
Originally, this had nothing to do with the Serious Crime Unit, and normally speaking, the Serious Crime Squad would not dispatch this kind of case. However, because the perpetrator in this case was armed with a gun, the leaders of the city bureau suspected that it was related to the murder of the doorman of the electromechanical company, so they notified the serious crime team to come halfway.
Two police cars roared up, and Liu Tao was the first to jump out of the car. While hurriedly putting on body armor and holding a 54-standard pistol, he strode away from the crowd to the newsstand opposite the café, where the temporary headquarters of the police at the scene was located.
The commander-in-chief of the scene was Feng Qing, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau, who was convening an emergency dispatch meeting with a solemn face from the heads of the special police, public security police, armed police, and sub-bureaus to formulate an action plan.
The fact that so many hostages have been taken hostage and their lives have been threatened has already constituted a major incident endangering public safety, and if it were not for the top leaders of the city bureau studying at the party school of the provincial party committee, they would definitely have personally rushed to preside over the arrest.
Ji Ran and Da Lao Li also changed into body armor and prepared to participate in the operation. Ji Ran took two steps forward, turned back to Guo Yang and lowered his voice and admonished: "Guo Yang, just remember to take a look at the periphery, don't enter the inner line, otherwise we can't guarantee your safety!"
Guo Yang shrugged, smiled, and motioned for them to just take action and ignore themselves.
Brilliant World Cafe.
The café is located at a dead end at the intersection, and the front and rear exits have been tightly sealed by armed police and special police. I don't know how many police snipers are hiding in the shadows, and as long as the robbers show any signs of escape, the merciless bullets will fly in all directions, killing them on the spot.
The burly robber still wore a mask on his head, he held a long-barreled shotgun and a 54 pistol diagonally stuck in his waist, and his expression was hideous and irritab, scanning the dozen male and female customers and the waiters of the café who were gathered together, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
A waiter looked up at the back of the robber with a look of panic, subconsciously moved his stiff body, and accidentally kicked the table and chair not far away to make a slight noise, the robber Huo Ran turned around, and the long shotgun was immediately aimed at a group of hostages who were crowded into a group of hostages who were squatting on the ground and trembling with their heads, and roared: "Whoever wants to die, can move!"
The robber rushed over with an arrow, and dragged a waitress in her early twenties on the very edge, and the girl screamed in horror, and the robber did not have the slightest idea of pity and pity, and then used the muzzle of the shotgun to provoke the girl's white chin, and cursed gloomily: "If you scream again, I will kill you!"
The girl bit her red lips that oozes blood, so frightened that she forgot to cry, her face turned pale, and her whole thin body trembled visibly. The robbers dragged the girl to the closed doorway, where the windows along the street were pulled down and the door locked from the inside.
The robber hurriedly opened the door, opened a crack, grabbed the girl's hair, and said viciously: "You go out and tell them, just say that Lao Tzu wants a car and a million in cash, and then all the police will retreat." Give them an hour to prepare. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will let all these people in it go to the Western Heavens!"
A murderous and vicious criminal, who kills people without blinking, holds 17 hostages in the café at gunpoint, and has been in a frantic confrontation with the police for nearly an hour. Although it was in this era when the Internet information had not yet developed, the word of mouth of the citizens and the passing masses had already shaken the whole city.
The sun was setting in the west, staining half of the sky red.
This was the first bank robbery and murder case that Feng Qing encountered when he was the deputy director of the city bureau and took hostages in public, and it was also the first time that he sat on the scene as the leader of the city bureau and commanded all kinds of police forces to encircle and suppress the murderer. Feng Qing knew very well in his heart that if he succeeded in rescuing the hostages and killing the criminals, this would be a dazzling achievement for him, but on the other hand, if he mishandled the hostages and caused casualties, he would not be able to escape the blame.
Feng Qing's face was ugly.
At this moment, he even complained a little that he was extremely unlucky, why did he not take a leave to recuperate at home even though he had a little cold today, and insisted on working despite his illness? Now it is good, the main leaders of the city bureau went to the province for training, and the other three deputy directors, one went to other places for something, one led a group to inspect and study in Linshi, and the other was a female comrade.
The robber released a waitress, and according to the information brought out by the frightened girl, the murderer was extremely brutal and had two guns, long and short, and the cashier of the café had been shot dead by the murderer on the spot during the confrontation.
Feng Qing's heart immediately sank. It is known that two people have been killed and four have been seriously injured, and the threat to public safety has turned into a rare serious crime in recent years. If the situation is not effectively controlled, I am afraid that he, the commander-in-chief of the scene, will not be able to eat and go around.
Feng Qing ordered people to report urgently to the leaders of the provincial department and the municipal party committee and government, and at the same time gathered around Liu Tao and several leaders to discuss action countermeasures.
It's definitely not okay to break through. The criminals were so tyrannical and armed with firearms, once they forcibly attacked and exchanged fire, the more than 10 hostages inside would inevitably be plagued by pond fish, and the consequences would be unimaginable. But it was even more unfeasible to really agree to the criminal's request and give him a car and a million cash to let him escape, and Feng Qing could not explain to his superiors and the people of the city at all.
"Feng Ju, it's better to promise him first, buy time for the rescue, lest he take the risk of hurting the innocent hostages in the café. Liu Tao hurriedly said: "We can't delay any longer, it will change if it's late!"
Feng Qing stomped his feet and said, "Immediately report to the city, please ask the deputy mayor in charge to coordinate with the People's Bank of China to prepare a million cash reserves!"
Ma Ping, the leader of the special police squadron, hurriedly separated the crowd and walked in, handed the mobile phone in his hand to Feng Qing, and said in a low voice: "Feng Bureau, I have contacted the criminal, he asked to talk to you!"
Feng Qing took a deep breath, took the phone and said coldly: "We are preparing cash and vehicles, but if you dare to hurt innocent hostages, it will be a dead end!"
The robber's slightly hoarse and frantic voice came: "Stop talking nonsense! Give you another half an hour, if the things that Lao Tzu wants are not well prepared, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and not recognizing people! Tell you, there are 17 people inside, if you have to force Lao Tzu to a dead end, Lao Tzu will die with these 17 people, I don't believe you can wait and see!"
At the same time, a crisp gunshot rang out from the café.
The faces of all the public security officers changed suddenly, Feng Qing twitched the corners of his mouth, the hand holding the mobile phone trembled, and the telephone fell to the ground with a click, breaking in half.
The crowd of onlookers let out a chaotic and noisy shout one after another, Guo Yang stood on the periphery of the crowd, staring at the brilliant human café across the road, frowning slightly. The case was not in his memory, it was clearly an emergency. But it's normal to think about it, there is no problem with the general trend of the times, but the subtle local plot changes are enough to be ignored.
