Chapter 166 is a puzzle again
Sawyer said in a loud voice, "Officer, we promise to cooperate with you, but we will not surrender to you at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 🤔 Can you agree to this request? ”
Lu Qingxuan was taken aback: "Sawyer, are your requirements too harsh?" By doing so, you are threatening the safety of our people at any time. After all, they are all unarmed except for me, who have guns! ”
Sawyer sneered, "Officer, what do you have to worry about? Aren't you very clear? The bullets in our guns are not going to destroy you. If that is the case, what good will it do us if we kill some of them? ”
Lu Qingxuan also asked coldly: "Then what is the reason why you don't hand over the gun?" ”
Sawyer spoke calmly: "First of all, although you are a police officer, you cannot pardon us on behalf of the government. Unless I can personally hear the order of the Federal President personally pardon us! ”
Lu Qingxuan frowned and said, "Sawyer, aren't you difficult for a strong man?" We don't have any radio signal here, and if I want to contact the president, I can't do it. ”
Sawa smiled: "That's easy, when we leave this valley and walk more than ten kilometers down, we can receive a mobile phone signal." You'll be contacting the government on your phone. If we had heard with our own ears that the president himself had promised not to hold us criminally responsible. We'll hand you the guns again. And before that, we must be in control of our own destiny! ”
Lu Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and then suggested, "Mr. Soya, the two of you can take us out of the valley, you are our saviors. Whatever you've done, we're not going to take revenge. You give us the gun now. When I contact the government, if the president can't give you two security guarantees. Then we will not only return the guns to you, but also give you the jewels to take away. Do you think that's okay? ”
Sawa hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Your method is very good. That's the bottom line for me and Jim. However, in this way, we will not hand over the gun to you first. ”
Lu Qingxuan frowned and said, "Are you still unwilling to trust us?" ”
Sawyer calmly asked, "Don't you trust us either?" Otherwise, why mind our conditions? ”
Lu Qingxuan saw that Suo Yatai was cunning and suspicious, and couldn't help but discuss with Qian Chong again: "The other party doesn't hand over the gun for the time being, what should we do?" ”
Qian Chong also hugged Shen Junru, who was overly frightened, and comforted him softly. When he heard Lu Qingxuan's inquiry, he asked, "What is the reason why they don't hand over the gun?" ”
Lu Qingxuan answered truthfully what he had just said...
Qian Chong said very resolutely at this time: "Officer Lu, don't hesitate any longer, agree to their request." As long as the jewels are in our possession, they can't get them back, as long as we don't let them get near the hut. If they don't get their hands on the jewelry, there's no point in taking any more extreme risks. ”
Lu Qingxuan saw that the sky was about to get dark, and if he continued to hold on to the robbers, it would be very disadvantageous. So, he accepted Qian Chong's proposal and said aloud to the robbers: "Okay, I agree to your request. Do you have any other requirements? ”
Sawyer was a little victorious, but then he said, "You must listen to our command before you meet the receiver sent by the government. ”
Lu Qingxuan's brows twisted into a rope at this time: "Sawya, as long as we pass through this valley, you must accept our leadership, although you are allowed to hold guns first." ”
Hearing this, Sawyer sneered again: "Officer, do you know where we will be once we get out of the valley?" ”
Lu Qingxuan shook his head suspiciously.
Sawyer continued: "After leaving the valley, it is still a jungle like here, but it is not a no-man's land. Rather, there is another group of militants operating in the air. We've been around with them for a long time and know how to avoid them. I'm asking you to listen to me, isn't that right? ”
Lu Qingxuan was stunned: "How can there be militants outside?" ”
Jim then interjected, "Not only do they have, but they're still strong. Outside a considerable area, they are all controlled. The reason why we chose to hide here is to take advantage of the fact that this is a dead spot for government searches! ”
Tilis had been carried by the man in yellow to a high platform and sat down, wiping the blood from her feet. When she heard their conversation, she suddenly realized something, and immediately interjected: "Could it be that out of this valley, we have arrived in the Taishui Mountains?" ”
Jim smiled: "Miss, I guessed it!" ”
Tilis immediately frowned and said to Lu Qingxuan: "That is the area where the rebels led by Tubuya are entrenched. Unexpectedly, we had to go through there. ”
Lu Qingxuan naturally knew that Tubuya was confronting the local Aslarda authorities. His heart sank.
When Sawyer saw his expression, he smiled and comforted, "Please don't worry, officer." Although we have been living here in seclusion for a long time, we will go out to buy food secretly for half a month. We know that the people of Tubua live according to the rules. Will stay out of their sight. As long as you obey our control, we will use the cover of night to make a shortcut to the safe exit of the area controlled by Tubua. ”
Lu Qingxuan felt that Sawyer was reasonable, but he questioned: "When you were forced by the Asrada authorities to have no way to escape, why didn't you take refuge in Tubua?" Aren't you afraid of being caught by them? ”
Sawyer replied calmly, "If we take refuge in Tubua, won't this jewel become theirs?" So what's the point of us taking such a big risk to rob a jewelry store in the first place? Although it is very risky to deal with them in the shadows here, it is fortunate that we have a good grasp of their movements. So, get through their control zone every time. Of course, since this is an area that cannot be covered by government forces, we are also stained with the light of Tubua and can live here in peace. Later, we stumbled upon a secret hole. And led us to this valley..."
Lu Qingxuan discussed the situation with Qian Chong again...
Qian Chong was also extremely nervous when he learned that as soon as he left the valley, he would enter the control of the opposition forces. But after thinking for a while, he resolutely said to Lu Qingxuan: "We don't know about the situation in Tubua. Let's just do what they say. Now I can only trust them once. ”
Lu Qingxuan said worriedly: "What if they cheat?" ”
Qian Chong asked rhetorically: "Are you worried that they will use the opposition forces to eliminate us?" ”
"Well, Mr. Qian is really thorough!"
Qian Chong thought for a while, and then said: "According to my understanding, Tubuya is a political figure, and the armed forces he organized are for political demands, not ordinary bandits. So, there's no way they're going to do it to us civilians. Besides, as long as we have the jewelry, these two robbers will not dare to do this. ”
Qian Chong saw that Lu Qingxuan was still hesitating, so he spoke again: "Officer Lu, we can only take one step at a time, as long as we act when we have the opportunity in the future." It will definitely save the day. ”
Shen Junru and Tilis both agreed with Qian Chong's suggestion, and both said, "Everything should be done according to the robbers' requirements!" ”
Lu Qingxuan put away his pistol at this time, and said to the two robbers who were still standing at the mouth of the cave on the mountainside: "The two gentlemen can come down." Our collaboration has already begun! ”
Sawyer and Jim glanced at each other, and they both slowly walked down the mountainside. However, they did not leave the gun in their hands.
Lu Qingxuan waited for the two of them to come down before running to Tilis, who was sitting on the side...
He first examined a few scratches on her feet, but fortunately the wounds were not deep, just a little bit of skin.
"Tilis, how are you feeling, is it still hurting?"
Tilis is a very strong girl. She smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, this little injury doesn't get in the way." Give me back my shoes. ”
A pair of Tilis's shoes had been tucked into Lu Qingxuan's arms, but he didn't return the shoes to Tilis, but said: "You'd better not wear shoes now, it's very hot, and if you sweat, your skin will be infected." When you get back to the hut, the old gentleman will give you some herbs and keep them for the night. ”
Tilis frowned, "Then how do I get back there?" ”
Lu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Of course I'm carrying you!" ”
Qian Chong, who was waiting for Shen Junru on the side, also nodded and said, "Officer Lu's method is good." I also carried Xiaoru on my back. Wait until the hut has some medicine, recuperate for a day or two, and then put on your shoes and walk. ”
Sawyer and Jim were already in the vicinity of the crowd, but they kept their distance from the others, fearing that the tourists would take advantage of their surprise and swarm one of them.
In fact, Lian Maobeard among the tourists did have such thoughts, and he kept exchanging glances with black-faced men and others, just to take advantage of his unpreparedness.
Soy Ya was inconvenient to communicate with Qian Chong in language, so he asked Lu Qingxuan: "Officer, when are you going to let us take you out of the valley?" ”
Lu Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, and then asked them again: "You two often go in and out here, when do you think you can go out to avoid those opposition forces?" ”
Sawyer replied, "We always operate in the dark. Because, the area under their control is safest with the help of the cover of night. Now that it's getting dark, it's your chance to go! ”
Lu Qingxuan smiled bitterly: "Not yet, we have to leave this time tomorrow at the earliest." ”
Sawyer was stunned: "Why?" ”
Lu Qingxuan explained: "There are many of us in the wooden house. At present, many people are not only weak in physical strength because of long-term lack of food and drink, but also have many sick numbers. The two girls you kidnapped today will also have to recuperate for two days from their foot injuries. So, we can't get out right now! ”
Sawyer nodded: "It's okay, we brought in two more packets of food last night, plus the ones left from the wooden house, enough for you to have a full meal for two or three days." When everyone's physical strength is restored, it will be easier to pass through the control area of Tubua. ”
Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but smile and nodded when he saw that Sawyer's speech was very real, but when he saw that one of his hands did not leave the trigger of the rifle, he frowned and said, "You two can relax, okay?" What if you accidentally go off with a gun? ”
Sawa smiled bitterly: "We can't help it. You don't want to be against us, but you can't guarantee that these people will suddenly attack? ”
Shen Junru had already been carried by Qian Chong at this time. She could naturally understand the English spoken by Sawyer, so she frowned and said, "Mr. Sawyer, I am the tour guide of this tour group, and I can restrain our members from doing anything unfavorable to you." If you don't believe me, you can keep a safe distance from us. That way, no one will get close to you for a chance to grab a gun. But you can't point a gun at us. ”
Sawyer understands that both sides are wary of each other at the moment, and it is not good for anyone to be nervous like this. So he agreed, "Okay, let's keep a distance of ten meters." ”
He and Jim took the initiative to stay away from everyone for a few meters, and finally put the gun down, but still on their backs. Neither of them, it seems, will let the gun go.
At this time, Lu Qingxuan was carrying Tilis, and Qian Chong was carrying Shen Junru. And the other two bags of food were also carried by everyone together and walked towards the wooden house...
Sawyer and Jim followed the group, keeping a distance.
Qian Chong was not down-to-earth in his heart. After asking Lu Qingxuan about the negotiation with the two robbers, he instructed the hairy bearded man and the black-faced man beside him: "They are still our most dangerous enemies. Please be sure to keep an eye on them in shifts. ”
Even the bearded man nodded, and they quietly turned to the back of the line, and watched out for Sawyer and Jim...
As for the wooden house, there has been no movement since the people there heard the gunshots. I can't help but get anxious.
The old man had no intention of staying in that bedroom because the men in the wooden house were almost gone. However, he had already stuffed the two bags of jewelry into the innermost part of the bed. Even if you get into it occasionally, you can't easily style them. In fact, everyone's attention was outside, and the women had already cooked the rice, and they were all looking forward to the search and rescue team.
Of course, in addition to the old man, there was another man among them, and he was a middle-aged man.
When the search and rescue team did not return, his mind was different...
