Chapter 21: Talking about conditions

Tempted by this idea~ Confused, Judy listened to the movement in the kitchen, grabbed the back of the chair with both hands, and tentatively lifted the chair, because her feet were tied to the legs of the chair, she had to lean forward as much as she could, so that she could carry it on her back, bending over and moving forward, but only half a step forward, she woke up: No, it is dangerous to do this!

In her opinion, since he was able to skillfully play the interludes in the movie, and used the weapons she used in the film, it showed that he had been well thought out before doing all this, and judging from his performance after entering the door, it was unlikely that he would make such a low-level mistake, and the reason why he left the gun within her reach must have been deliberately done by him, in order to test her "cooperative" attitude, if it was really according to the script he designed, even if she succeeded in snatching the gun, He must have already formulated corresponding countermeasures!

When you make a movie, you can start again, but once you NG in reality, you can only regret it!

In a flash of thought, Judy forced herself to give up her plan to take risks and turn against customers, and moved the chair back to its original position as carefully as possible, and then listened to the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yang returned to the study with a plate of blueberry pie in his left hand and a coffee machine in his right hand, and two cans of beer stuffed in the pocket of his hoodie.

Putting the coffee machine on the desk and plugging it in, Xiao Yang pulled the chair that Judy's mother had sat on, placed it between the two, put the pie box on it, took out the beer in his pocket and handed it to his hostage, "Maybe you want to relax?" ”

Judy didn't have much of the heart to drink and relax, "Thank you, I'm fine, you can come by yourself." ”

Xiao Yang shook his head, "I'm not of legal drinking age yet, and I don't want to make trouble for myself." ”

Hearing his serious tone, Judy wanted to ask him, "Don't you think that taking hostages will bring more trouble?" ”

Of course, Xiao Yang couldn't hear her heart, he divided the pie into 8 parts with a knife and handed her a piece, because it had been in the oven for too long, the carefully prepared blueberry pie had lost its due softness, coupled with his restlessness, Judy just took a few symbolic bites and shook his head to say that he was full, he was not reluctant, he held a piece of pie, stood in front of the window and tasted it with relish, while observing the outside world through the gap in the curtain.

Ten minutes have passed since the police were received, and three police cars, two ambulances, two fire trucks, and four news vehicles have arrived at the scene, perhaps for fear of alarming or stimulating the "kidnappers" in the house, the patrol police and firefighters did not sound their sirens, but just parked their vehicles outside the cordon, first, to stop those reporters who tried to break into the dangerous area, and second, to wait for the arrival of superiors and negotiators.

Seeing another Victoria Crown police car slowly driving into the cordon, a pot-bellied middle-aged white police officer pushed the door and got out of the car, beckoning the two patrol officers who arrived first to report the situation, Xiao Yang knew that the play meat was coming, swallowed half a piece of pie into his stomach in two bites, patted the frosting on his hand, dragged the telephone and put it on the chair in the middle, and began to wait for a long time.

A few minutes later, the phone rang.

Rhythmically tapping his thigh with his fingers, after the bell rang more than a dozen times, Xiao Yang leaned over and stretched out his hand and pressed the hands-free button: "Hello?" ”

A calm middle-aged male voice came through the speaker: "Hello, I'm Sheriff Mills, from the Beverly Hills Police Department, can you identify yourself, sir?" ”

"So that you can find my family and ask them to come forward and persuade me to turn myself in to the police?" Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows at Judy, who was looking at the phone intently, "I don't think so, thank you." ”

This answer was obviously also expected by the other party, "Then can you at least help us confirm Ms. Foster's physical and mental condition?" ”

"Of course, ma'am?" Xiao Yang raised his hand to signal, Judy cleared her throat, and replied loudly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." ”

"I'm glad to hear you say that, ma'am, please stay calm, and you, sir, we'll do our best to keep you safe." The other party paused slightly, and then added, "Now, sir, let's talk about the conditions, shall we?" ”

"Conditions? Of course, let me think about it, my first condition is ......" Xiao Yang paused for a few seconds, and after satisfying the other party's appetite, he continued: "Change someone with a higher rank to talk to me about the conditions, thank you!" ”

There was silence on the other side, and after about ten seconds, the voice of the Sergeant Mills rang out again: "You can talk to me about any conditions, sir, if I can't do it, I will naturally find my superior or ......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiao Yang stretched out his hand and hung up the phone directly.

Judy couldn't help but sigh, looked up at him, wanted to say something, and held back.

Making an apologetic gesture to her, Xiao Yang turned around, ten fingers flying, interspersed with ups and downs on the keys, the sound of the piano is majestic and shocking, but it is Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C minor" (that is, "Symphony of Destiny").

Judy listened in amazement, and secretly wondered: Is he hinting to me that all this is arranged by fate?

Halfway through the first movement, the telephone rang again.

Raising his eyes and looking at the table below, Xiao Yang ignored it and continued to play his piano, letting the telephone ring in vain.

After entertaining himself for a while, he stopped playing, walked to the window and glanced outside, at this time the mountain road was already jammed with all kinds of media vehicles, at least thirty or forty, and the excited reporters flocked to the police cordon with long guns and short guns, loudly protesting and calling on the police to respect the freedom of public opinion, and disturbing the originally quiet and peaceful luxury community.

Smiling with satisfaction, Xiao Yang lowered the curtains, turned up the volume of the TV again, changed the channel, and found that at least half of the TV stations had temporarily adjusted their program arrangements, and began to broadcast or insert the live broadcast of the "Jodie Foster kidnapping case", and the footage broadcast was without exception the exterior of the mansion where he was located.

Locking the channel to the KTLA TV station in Los Angeles, which first reported on the case, Xiao Yang poured Judy a cup of freshly brewed black coffee, prepared a cup for himself by the way, sat down and drank a few sips, and the phone rang again.

Looking at the white senior police officer who had just appeared in the TV camera with two silver star insignia on his shoulders, Xiao Yang put down the cup and turned on the speakerphone: "Hello?" ”

A mature, dignified, confident voice came out of the phone: "Hello, I'm Deputy Chief Superintendent Roman Carr, from the LAPD (Los Angeles City Police Department), can you talk?" ”
