With Mies's badge in hand, I crossed the cordon and showed it to the two guards standing guard: "What's going on inside?"

"Who are you?" asked a tall, thin middle-aged police detective who walked over and looked at me.

"The negotiator who just got arranged. I opened the suitcase to reveal a neatly stacked row of cash, "I'm going to come over and calm the kidnappers." An order has just been issued from above that no further casualties will be allowed. I wonder what's going on inside?" I said with a strong sense of confidence, "don't hide anything from me, I need to know the latest and most up-to-date news, good news and bad news, you know." ”

Life is like a play, but I didn't expect me to act so realistically.

Looking at the row of colorful dollars, the middle-aged detective no longer had any doubts, there were too many people who had been arranged these days, and he was just asking routinely. The middle-aged detective introduced himself, his name is Alexey.

With Alexey's leadership, I was able to get all the way unhindered and saved a lot of trouble. Arriving at the temporary command center, Alexei introduced me to everyone. Nodding to everyone, I stubbornly tried not to show my timidity, and said loudly: "I will go up in a while, and everyone will tell me the information you have so far." Especially the captured Chinese policeman, his specific location. I think everyone should know that if it were really as the kidnappers said, the process of shooting the police was broadcast live. All of you here will leave a stain on your resume. We, the police, will never be able to hold our heads up again. Let's think about what the reporters out there who only know how to talk will say!"

No one doubted my identity, but they did have a relationship with what I had said.

Clearing my throat, I showed everyone the $2 million: "This is a special fund sown above, asking us to protect the life of that Chinese policeman." So please cooperate with me anyway, okay?"

Everyone nodded their heads and expressed their full support for me. At this time, Andrei, the head of the temporary center, walked up to me and frowned: "Mr. Buno, I would like to ask which leader is your superior?"

My palms immediately dripped, and if I didn't answer this question well, all my previous acting skills would be wiped out. Looking around at the crowd, I knew I couldn't avoid it.

Taking a deep breath, I met Andrei's gaze and slowly said a name: "General Burgonev." ”

This is the Russian general who is about to gamble with Popov, and this is the only high-ranking Russian name I know of other than the Russian president. The moment I said my name, I was ready to be recognized.

"Oh. André heard my name, nodded, and didn't say anything more, but assigned everyone to support me fully.

It was completely unexpected. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and nodded to the people around him. This kind of scene is more tense than when I go to the ring, I am a professional fighter and an amateur actor after all.

"How do you need us to cooperate?" Alexei seemed very positive, and after André left, he organized a group of people around me to serve me with all his might.

"Where is that Chinese policeman being held now, and do you know the specific location?" Since he is here for Lao Gen, I naturally care about him the most.

"According to aerial footage from our unmanned (Harmony) aircraft, he was locked up in the toilet on the twenty-seventh floor two hours ago. Later, the unmanned (Harmony) aircraft was shot down, and we don't know exactly where he is now. But it should still be on the twenty-seventh floor. A neat girl with a ponytail answered my question fluently.

"Can't we use an unmanned (Harmony) UAV to confirm the location anymore?" I tapped on the edge of the box, looking at the girl.

"We are worried about angering the kidnappers and causing disadvantage to the hostages inside. The girl pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, "They killed another hostage after the last time the drone was shot down. ”

This is definitely not an ordinary kidnapper, ordinary kidnappers only seek money, and will not kill people at will, after all, these hostages are their life-saving tools. The more people they kill, the more they are opposed to the government. But the people inside obviously don't care about confrontation with the authorities. I heard that these days, the methods of these kidnappers have not stopped.

"Have the kidnappers been identified?" I continued. Since I'm going to go in, I'd better know a little more.

"Not at the moment, but we suspect that they are not nationals and have some military training. The girl took out a mobile phone and showed me a video taken before the crash of the unmanned (harmony) aircraft, "These people are very accurate in marksmanship and very proficient in the use of various firearms. ”

I nodded, if it weren't for that, I would never have been captured with Lao Gen's skills.

"Can you get in touch with the kidnappers inside? Tell him that I'm ready for the money and ready to send it to them. ”

"Yes, but not sure if they agree. The girl pulled out a walkie-talkie.

"Try it. "Whether I can get in touch or not, I'm going to find a way to get there. My brother Lao Gen is still waiting for me up there. Looking at the time, there were only fifty minutes left before the live broadcast time that the kidnappers had said, and my heart became anxious.

Holding my suitcase, I silently waited for the result of the contact with the kidnappers.

Fortunately, after a while, Alexei brought good news: "They agreed to meet, but only one person could bring money." ”

"Good. "I didn't expect anyone else to help me," I was going to go up. ”

"Hmm. Alex beckoned, and the two young detectives brought me a police bulletproof vest and a steel helmet that had been prepared long ago.

"This is our locator, this is our headset, keeping in touch with us at all times. Alexei pulled out a round button-like retainer and attached it to the inside of my collar and put the headset on for me, "Don't let yourself get trapped, brother!" As I was about to go deep into the tiger's den, everyone showed me their utmost concern.

The moment I put on all my gear and looked at the eager eyes of everyone, I had the feeling that I had really become an expert negotiator. Suddenly, I understood Lao Gen's feeling that he had to complete the task even if it was Longtan Tiger's Den.

Walking into the agreed elevator, I slowly pressed the 27 button and waved at everyone. Wait for me, old root!

The elevator moved up very quickly, and standing alone in this small space, watching the number buttons beating one after another, my heart was like water. There is only one thought in my heart, which is to take Lao Gen out.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and I was greeted by two masked men in camouflage uniforms. Two shiny AK47s were impartial, right in front of my head.

Raising the box in my hand, I signaled that I was not threatening, "I'm here to deliver money." ”

"Open the box. A cold tone, with a thick nasal voice. They didn't come near me, their guns aimed at me still aimed at my head.

At a glance at the surrounding environment, there was no difference from the construction drawings. Looking at it from afar, I had to go through the hall of more than 300 square meters to get to the toilet, because the door of the hall was closed, and I couldn't see the situation inside.

I cautiously opened the box and pushed the colorful bills in front of the two people: "I came with sincerity. ”

One of them stepped forward, picked up a wad of bills, looked at it, nodded to the other, closed the box, and said to me, "You can go." ”

I went through a lot of hard work, and the first thing you said was to let me go. Lao Gen is not out of danger, how can I go.

"I am a negotiator arranged by the command, and I have come to negotiate with you with sincerity. I would like to meet your heads and exchange their demands or opinions. I don't know what a real negotiator would say, but at the moment I'm trying to talk to the kidnappers as if I were a real negotiator, "Money is not an issue." I gestured to the money in the box, "If you continue to kill hostages, you will mess up both sides, let me talk to your boss." You ask for money, I want to make sure the hostages are safe, and it seems to me that there is no contradiction. ”

A true negotiator may tolerate failure, but I, an impostor, cannot, and my failure means that Lao Gen will say goodbye to me.

"As you know, the constant killing of hostages is pushing the limits of this country. Now it can be said that the whole world is watching this edifice. I don't think you want to see the two sides intersect with each other. After saying this, I regretted it a little. My words smacked of some menace, and I was afraid of provoking these two people.

The two kidnappers exchanged glances, and one of them pulled out the walkie-talkie and spoke to the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie in a language I had never heard before.

"The Colonel would like to meet you, but don't play tricks. "One of them put the muzzle of the gun to my head, came up and ripped off my headset, threw it on the ground, and stomped it to pieces. Searched my body, found no guns, and nodded to his companion.

Since I came up in the open, of course I didn't have a gun, but the four throwing knives were in my sleeve.

"Is your boss called Colonel?" I heard me right, the kidnappers called their boss Colonel.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, or you won't be able to go downstairs. Knowing that I had lost my words, the black muzzle of the gun was aimed at my head again, and the cold muzzle of the gun made me feel hot.

"Relax, I'm just talking casually. I shrugged my shoulders and tried to look harmless. "What happened to the arrested Chinese policeman?"

"Not dead yet, but soon, forty minutes to go. One of them looked at the watch in his hand, "You might be lucky enough to see it live, hehe." ”

"You can't do that! We need to have a good talk. "Of course I know that my words don't work in the slightest, but since I'm a negotiator, I'm going to do the whole thing, and I need to be like a negotiator.

"Let's go!" he shoved me, "You can talk to our boss then!"
