It's not the first time that this old guy has dealt with such tricky questions from reporters, and he went straight to the point and asked him about the video without any disguise.

The flashing lights in the venue did not decrease because of Hiroyuki Sawano's calmness, and continued to flash wildly.

"That video is pure slander and a conspiracy by lawbreakers against the government."

As soon as these words came out, there was a denser shutter sound in the auditorium, which was even more intense than a dozen submachine guns being pulled at the same time.

"Your Excellency Sawano, since you said it was slanderous, why is it exactly as described in the video, almost an hour has passed, and as the Deputy Minister of Finance, you have not paid the ransom to the other party in exchange for the safety of the hostages, and you have not even expressed your position, does this mean that you are lying?"

Hiroyuki Sawano smiled very easily, not too concerned about the reporter's further trouble.

"Hehe, I can answer your question, that's because we've been negotiating with the other party in private, so we don't have to say anything to the outside world, but because of the amount of the ransom, we haven't been able to reach an agreement, and we are only enough for 500 billion US dollars, so we're discussing with the other party whether we can reduce the amount of the ransom."

Several media outlets at the scene seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, but they didn't expect this to be the result, and they discussed it one after another, without asking other questions.

Hiroyuki Sawano further said,

"Please believe me, I will never give up on the cabinet ministers, no matter how huge the amount of ransom is, it is only a matter of money, nothing is more important than human life, from the moment I first received the extortion call, I decided to rescue the cabinet members who were kidnapped by lawbreakers at all costs, and even agreed to the other party's extortion demands without authorization, and even quarreled with Director Mikasa, who had different opinions, for this matter, and finally strongly opposed the use of the lives of cabinet ministers as a bet to take tough measures, of course, Director Mikasa didn't feel sorry for the money, but he didn't want to continue to let the criminals be so arrogant. ”

Hearing Hiroyuki Sawano's words, Naoto Mikasa, who was watching quietly from a distance, turned blue with anger, and he really could speak, saying that he was the culprit of the whole thing, and he himself advocated paying a ransom to protect the lives of cabinet ministers.

But even if you think about it, after all, after the ransom is paid, it can be regarded as avoiding a big disaster for yourself, otherwise if the cabinet continues to die, he, the police director, will definitely be asked to resign and apologize because of the ineffective handling, even if he resigns, the future life will definitely not be good, and the impact of this incident will definitely accompany him for the rest of his life.

Finally, after glancing at Hiroyuki Sawano, who was still talking about himself, Naoto Mikasa turned around and walked towards the conference room, ready to accept the hostages, even if things took a big turn for the better, he still didn't dare to take it lightly.

In the conference room of the Prime Minister's official residence, Zhang Han looked at the huge LCD display on the wall, and scolded with dog eyes, "Damn, this guy is really shameless, he doesn't blush when he lies in public, and he is not afraid of being heard by Naoto Mikasa to greet his mother." ”

Zhang Han said indifferently, "If he doesn't say that, what else can he say, do you want him to admit that he didn't want to pay the ransom before, and he just hoped that we would kill Taro Aso and take the throne himself?" ”

Chen Peng looked at Hiroyuki Sawano's face and shook his head, "I don't like this guy, if you have the opportunity, you must visit." ”

Zhang Han said, "Our purpose is just to force him to pay the ransom, the goal has been achieved, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us, just wait for the money." ”

After finishing speaking, I looked out the window and didn't know what I was thinking, everyone else was stunned, the cigarette in Zhang Han's hand burned quietly for a few minutes, and suddenly the phone on the table rang again, and he picked up the receiver,

"Hey, Director Mikasa, do you have the money?"

Naoto Mikasa didn't say anything long-winded, and said straight to the point, "The time is too short, Hiroyuki Sawano only scraped together enough $500 billion, first exchange five hostages, and give it to you within the remaining three hours." ”

Zhang Han smiled, "I just like this simple way of communication, I make a request, you do it, everyone saves time, right?" ”

Naoto Mikasa gritted his teeth and said, "You should know how many troops and tanks are surrounded by outside, and leave a way back for yourself when you do things, otherwise you don't want to live to see the sun tomorrow." ”

Zhang Han's face was calm and light, and he didn't care too much about Naoto Mikasa's words.

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing, they all say that I'm crazy, so I never think about leaving any way back, no matter what, I have to do my best to achieve my goal."

After speaking, Zhang Han smiled and continued, "For the sake of you worrying about me so much, I decided to give you a gift." ”

Naoto Mikasa's heart pounded, he didn't think the gift in the other person's mouth would be a good thing.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't be so nervous, this is really a gift, I promise you will be satisfied."

"I advise you not to ......"

"Well, don't be ignorant, I rarely do things that are good for others, and you should feel honored." Zhang Han interrupted Naoto Mikasa and said.

There was silence in the earpiece, and Naoto Mikasa said, "I hope that after paying hundreds of billions of dollars, you will not go back on it, and you can release the five cabinet members first as agreed." ”

Zhang Han said with a smile, "Although I am a terrorist, there is a way to steal, how can I regret it?" We are the most credible in this business, and we will not go back on what we say. ”

"Good!" Naoto Mikasa breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little surprised how it could go so well, judging by the experience that he and Susanoo had been dealing with for so long, he thought that the other party would definitely not make himself so comfortable easily.

"Give me the bank account number."

Zhang Han reported a string of numbers, "I want to see the money in three minutes." ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and called Ning Xiang with his mobile phone, "Hey, where are you now?" ”

Ning Xiang seemed to be bored, and said in a lazy voice, "According to your requirements, I found a place to wait for your orders, I didn't do anything, and I was bored and went crazy." ”

"Hehe, there's going to be a thrill soon."

Hearing this, Ning Xiang's eyes instantly lit up, "What irritation?" ”

"There will be 500 billion dollars in your account, and the diversion and transfer will be made within thirty seconds, the efficiency of those guys in the Metropolitan Police Department is not ordinarily fast, if you are slow, you will be tracked, don't even want to get a penny, and it is possible to find out your real identity, understand?"

Ning Xiang cheered up and took out her notebook, and said excitedly, "Then play with the Metropolitan Police Department, and see if Miss Ben's hands are fast, or their work efficiency is fast, you let them go together." ”

Zhang Han said with a dark face, "Seriously, don't be careless, after all, the opponent this time is not the police department, but the Metropolitan Police Department, a department that brings together the elite police of the island country." ”

"Got it, why are you so verbose, didn't you play them around the same way before?"

Zhang Han shook his head helplessly and said, "This is just an appetizer, there will be a bigger task for you to go to in a while, it is very critical, more important than this matter, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Ning Xiang frowned, and just wanted to ask what it was, but heard that Zhang Han had already hung up the phone.

"This bastard dares to hang up Miss Ben's mobile phone."

Sakata Yin and Chongxin looked at Ning Xiang, "What the hell is Mr. Zhang asking us to wait for here?" If there is a task, why not act. ”

Ning Xiang pursed her lips, "That bastard knows what he's thinking, you go and call him yourself, I'm too lazy to talk to him." ”

“………………”

Metropolitan Police Department, Electronic Command Center.

More than a dozen police officers quickly typed on the keyboard on their notebooks, making final preparations,

"Account monitoring is turned on, and the IP tracking system is working fine."

"The operating environment is normal, there is no network attack, and the data transmission is normal."

"Everything is normal in the bank backend, and the management authority is received smoothly."

“……………………”

Naoto Mikasa took one last look at the time and waved his hand, "Start sending money!" ”

"Wait."

Suddenly, a police officer's laptop screen flashed, and an image disappeared in an instant, so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to capture.

"What happened?" Naoto Mikasa walked over and asked.

The officer frowned, checked again, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he thought it was a normal computer freeze.

"Nothing, you can continue."

Naoto Mikasa was a little unhappy, what to do at a critical time.

"This operation is very important, we use the Internet to lay a wide net, we must not let criminals escape from our hands, the money sent must be traced to the whereabouts, the money belongs to the government, such a big loss must not be allowed to happen, do you understand?"

"Hayi!"

"Let's get moving."

Under the order of Naoto Mikasa, more than a dozen police officers were busy, and the sound of reports one after another filled the entire command hall, the atmosphere became extremely tense, everyone was busy and sweating, no need for him to continue to say that 500 billion US dollars not only represents an astronomical amount, but also represents the dignity of the island government, if it is successfully transferred and taken away by the other party, the face of the island government will be lost, and their Metropolitan Police Department will also face the consequences of being responsible for everyone.

Ning Xiang on the other side, holding a laptop in her arms, suddenly bit her pink lip and said hatefully, "Pick Liang clown, do you think that by transferring more than a dozen transactions at the same time, you can delay the time of my diversion?" ”

After muttering, he stretched out his index finger and tapped on the keyboard, and a set of disorganized codes jumped out, and the entire screen was a mess, and the house of Sakata Silver and Chongxin was big, and the layman didn't understand what it was at all.

In the electronic command center, a police officer's face suddenly changed, and cold sweat came down in an instant, "The money is gone!" ”

He couldn't believe his eyes, it took more than ten seconds just to refresh the account, how could he be transferred more than a hundred times in an instant, is it a hell!

Naoto Mikasa hurried over, his eyes dead on the screen, but he couldn't read at all.

"What's going on!"

The police officer didn't have time to answer the question, so he crackled on the keyboard and finally tracked down a very active IP to the Central Bank of the Panama Islands, which was the one that carried the largest amount of money, with more than 200 billion.

"Panama?"

It's too bad that they are now faced with two choices, they simply don't have time to negotiate this issue with the Panamanian government, either they choose to invade violently and continue to track down that IP, or they choose to give up and let it get away with the money.

It is undoubtedly impossible to let the other side leave with the money just like that, but the violent invasion of the electronic system of the Central Bank of Panama will not be successful, and if it does, the island government will face serious diplomatic disputes.
