Liu Jie came back to her senses at this time, "Yes, we are from the Special Reconnaissance Section, and Section Chief Jiang Xinghan just asked us to come over." As she spoke, she handed over her papers.

"It turns out to be from the Special Reconnaissance Section, so let's go in. However, I'm afraid the car will have to stay here and won't be able to drive in. SWAT said.

Liu Jie found a vacant seat on the side of the road and parked the police car, and then the three of them walked along the sidewalk on the side of the road towards the government building.

Liu Jie called Jiang Xinghan as she walked.

Ling Xiao looked up, and he saw police snipers on both sides of the government building. This discovery reassured him a little. He also secretly guessed in his heart: "The bandits who held Mayor Huafang hostage at gunpoint...... Could it be Bashan? ”

He had a good reason to think so.

The police blocked the whole city, Bashan could not escape from Lu, and Tian Wei, who had a lifelong friendship with him, was also arrested, and he would not be reconciled. So there is this possibility, Bashan wants to get the police to release Tian Wei in this way, and then escape with Tian Wei. Of course, Mayor Huafang will become a hostage to save his life during the whole process!

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly remembered the phone call from Jiang Xinghan, and the conjecture in his heart was even more certain, "Yes, Jiang Xinghan called Liu Jie and Li Qian to bring me to the city government, this is most likely a request made by Bashan!" It must be Bashan who is holding Mayor Huafang hostage! What does he want to do? Want to pull me on my back before you die? I'm going to have to be careful not to be taken advantage of by the cops. ”

Li Qian and Liu Jie will definitely not use him, and they will definitely not use him to exchange for Mayor Huafang, Jiang Xinghan is hard to say, will or will not be half, but there are at least hundreds of policemen here, and the positions are much higher than Jiang Xinghan, those people are definitely willing to use him, the common people, to exchange for a mayor. Therefore, the ones he has to guard against are those police officers who he doesn't know and are not familiar with.

Liu Jie, who finished the call, suddenly said: "Ling Xiao, wait for you to be smart, if nothing happens to you, you should slip away, don't stay here." ”

"Hmm." Ling Xiao nodded, his heart warm.

"The bandit who kidnapped Mayor Huafang is Bashan, do you understand what I'm talking about?" Liu Jie was afraid that Ling Xiao wouldn't understand what she meant.

Ling Xiao nodded again, "I guessed just now, I'll be careful, you should be careful." ”

As soon as he walked to the gate, Jiang Xinghan greeted him, "Doctor Ling, I'm really sorry, I invited you here." The main thing is that the bandits want to see you by name, otherwise they will shoot and kill hostages. We have just figured out the situation inside, in addition to Mayor Huafang, the bandits have also held more than a dozen government workers hostage. ”

Sure enough, this was the case, Ling Xiao didn't say anything, but saw Liu Jie and Li Qian wink at him almost at the same time, giving him a look.

"Doctor Ling, let me tell you, the bandit inside is named Bashan, he was instructed by Tian Wei to assassinate Zhou Changde and Huhe Jasmine before, well, he was also instructed by Tian Wei to assassinate you." Jiang Xinghan said.

With this sentence, Ling Xiao still has a good impression of this Jiang Xinghan, and he told the truth directly, and he didn't mean to hide it at all.

"I've heard what Officer Liu and Officer Li said, but I don't understand, that Bashan wants to see me, does he want to kill me in front of everyone?" Ling Xiao said subtly. He expressed the worry in his heart, if the other party asked him to meet Bashan again, it would be clearly for him to die.

Jiang Xinghan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Doctor Ling, you are a smart person, but we can't help it, that Bashan has rich experience in actual combat, and our snipers can't find a chance to attack at all." He said that the hostages were still holding him with home-made bombs, and that if they were forced to break in, the hostages would be gone. We invited you to come because we want to discuss with you, talk to Bashan on the phone first, and buy us some time to act, do you think it's okay? ”

Ling Xiao said: "That's no problem, I can talk to him on the phone." ”

Liu Jie and Li Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't enter Hua Fang's office and talk to Bashan face to face, then Ling Xiao would be safe.

"Section Chief Jiang, did someone bring it?" A man with the rank of police superintendent strode over.

"Xu Hall, here." Jiang Xinghan hurriedly responded.

The person who called Jiang Xinghan back and forth inappropriately was the director of the Provincial Police Department, Xu Yunchuan. When Liu Jie quietly told Ling Xiao his identity, although she was already prepared in her heart, Ling Xiao was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that so soon, the director of the National Police Agency would be on the scene.

But this is actually quite normal, such a big event, the gathering of media reporters, is an opportunity for politicians to show their faces. If the current crisis is handled well, it will definitely be the political capital for future promotions.

"I only talk to Bashan on the phone, and if he asks me to go to the office building to talk to Bashan face-to-face in the office building as the head of the hall, I won't go. He makes political capital, I go to sacrifice, I'm not so easy to fool. Ling Xiao secretly delineated the bottom line in his heart, that is, he only cooperated with the police to talk to Bashan on the phone, and he would not go if he wanted to talk face-to-face.

Bashan's purpose is to kill him, and if he still boldly talks to Bashan with a gun, it will not be heroism, but stupidity. If you are reckless and die, what should you do with so many workers in the goddess pharmaceutical? What about the women who love him? What about so many farmers who rely on the goddess medicine to eat? He had to think about them, and he had to think about the women around him.

Over there, Jiang Xinghan and Xu Yunchuan talked a few words, and Xu Yunchuan walked over to Ling Xiao.

"You're Ling Xiao, aren't you?" Xu Yunchuan's tone was plain, but there was an obvious pride and officialdom in his bones. Jiang Xinghan also politely called "Doctor Ling", and he called him by name directly, which is the difference.

Ling Xiao nodded and stretched out his hand, "Yes, I'm Ling Xiao, hello Director Xu." "These big leaders all have official stands, and Ling Xiao doesn't mind the tone of Xu Yunchuan's speech.

Xu Yunchuan hesitated slightly, but still reached out and shook Ling Xiao's hand symbolically, and he said, "I believe you know the general situation, right?" We need your help to buy us time and opportunity to act. ”

"I'll do my best." Ling Xiao's tone was also faint. You are a big official, and I don't ask you for anything, so why should I always be polite to you.

"That's good, I thank you on behalf of the police." Xu Yunchuan said.

A police officer came over and immediately reported, "Xu Hall, Bashan called again and asked if Ling Xiao was here." ”

"Here we are." Xu Yunchuan said: "Go tell him and talk to him right away." ”

"Yes, also, Bashan asked for the release of Tian Wei, as well as the preparation of a helicopter for him and Tian Wei." The officer said.

Xu Yunchuan sneered, "Ho! Did he think this was a police movie? And a helicopter, no way! ”

"And how do I answer him?" The police officer had no idea, he definitely didn't dare to say this to Bashan. In this way, it is to provoke Bashan, and Bashan will shoot and kill hostages.

"You don't have to say anything to him anymore, Ling Xiao, you go tell him." Xu Yunchuan said.

"Where do you say that?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Here, please follow me." After the police officer finished speaking, he led the way.

Ling Xiao followed the police officer who led the way to a command car parked in front of the gate of the city government office building. It was a special vehicle second only to a minibus in size. The side sliding doors open to reveal the electronic devices inside the cabin, including communicators, computers, and some devices that you have never seen before.

Two police officers are working in a command vehicle, one guarding a communicator and the other operating a special computer installed in the vehicle. The screen on the computer is the surveillance footage of the inside of the government building, but the situation of Bashan and the hostages cannot be seen from the screen.

The police officer took out the communicator placed on a metal table and handed it to Ling Xiao. This communicator is a bit like the "Big Brother" mobile phone that was popular for a while, but it is about a third smaller.

"Remember, try to delay him as much as possible and give us a chance." Xu Yunchuan admonished.

Ling Xiao nodded, put the communicator to his ear, and was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm Ling Xiao." ”

A sneering voice came from the communicator, "Ling Xiao? I didn't expect you to come. ”

Ling Xiao said: "There's nothing to dare, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do." It's you, I advise you to stop as soon as possible, lay down your arms and surrender to the police. Your good brother Tian Wei has the consciousness to turn himself in, and you should have it too. ”

"I don't believe he's going to turn himself in."

"But he turned himself in." Ling Xiao said.

"When he comes, I'll ask him what the hell is going on. If he turned himself in and betrayed me, I would have killed him. If he hadn't, he had been framed, and I would have done justice for him. Bashan's tone was a little hideous.

"Do you think you'll get out of here alive? Laying down your arms and surrendering to the police is your only way out. Ling Xiao continued to persuade Bashan. It's not that he really doesn't want Bashan to die, but when he was talking to Bashan, Jiang Xinghan was next to him and kept reminding him to delay time with his mouth. If he wants to delay talking to Bashan, it is impossible to instigate Bashan to die, right?

"Don't tell me anything to turn yourself in!" Bashan said fiercely: "You still have half an hour, what I want must be prepared for me, and Tian Wei must also be released." surnamed Ling, you tell those policemen around you, don't be delusional about assault, as long as they dare, all the hostages will be finished! ”

"I'll tell them, don't get excited, don't get excited, you have something to say." Ling Xiao pretended to persuade him.

"Don't come with me! Half an hour later, you and Tian Wei came up together, and I want to talk to you face to face. Bashan sneered.

"Talk face-to-face? Isn't it okay for us to talk like this? Talking face-to-face, I think it's better to forget it, there's no need for that. Ling Xiao said.

Bashan said coldly: "This is not up to you, if you don't come, I will shoot a hostage every five minutes!" ”

"Hey, I said, why are you so stubborn? Why do you have to talk to me face-to-face—hey? Before Ling Xiao's words were finished, Bashan hung up the phone.
