Chapter 671: Trouble Escalation

The gate of Union Square was surrounded by water, a large number of police were under martial law, the leading police were negotiating with the armed police leader, and after a while, an anti-terrorist special police force rushed over, and the car was parked on the periphery, but the people were all fully armed, wearing black hoods, and walked forward quickly, their actions were neat and uniform, revealing a fierce momentum.

After observing for a while, Zao Wou-Ki smiled and said, "Old man, the special police are here, nothing is wrong with us, right?" ”

"I hope so," Tang Zhi said casually, he had no intention of leaving, and Zao Wou-Ki was not easy to urge, so the two of them sat quietly in the car and observed the further development of the situation.

At this time, the on-site commander had already determined the plan for the assault, the armed police and the special police divided the work, the armed police attacked head-on, and the special police attacked in a roundabout way, Zao Wou-Ki saw that the special police quickly outflanked from both sides and prepared to attack, and the armed police also erected bulletproof shields and tried to attack.

Smack! Suddenly, a few crisp gunshots rang out, and the special police on both sides hurriedly hidden, and at this time, everyone found that there were sneak attacks on the windows on both sides, and there was more than one, the special police captain was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Report the situation." ”

"Report to the captain, one person is injured, one person is injured." A voice rang out in the headset.

"Retreat!" The captain knew that the opportunity for a strong attack had disappeared, and the losses of the strong attack would be very large, so he hurriedly came to the command car and said to the director of the district public security bureau and the captain of the armed police: "The enemy is well concealed, very professional, should have received formal training, the cost of a strong attack is too great, I suggest adjusting the plan." ”

"I agree, the special police comrades were found in such a concealed and roundabout way, and they were shot, which shows that the people inside are not simple, and they can't come hard." The captain of the armed police immediately agreed.

The director of the district public security bureau couldn't say anything more, the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Everyone knows the situation, the question is what to do?" You can't just run it out, can you? A plan must be developed. ”

At this time, several high-end cars drove over, and a few middle-aged people walked down from the car, led by Liu Feng, the newly appointed secretary of the municipal party committee. With an iron face, he walked to the command car, took over the command and said, "Wu Gang, tell me, what should I do next?" ”

Wu Gang, who came with Liu Feng, looked at Union Square for a while with cold eyes, and Wu Gangyi, who had been promoted to the executive deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and in charge of criminal investigation affairs, had a little more maturity and majesty on his face, and after a while, he said with a serious face: "Judging from the words of the special police brother just now, the people inside are indeed very professional and experienced, not ordinary habitual bandits, more like soldiers, things are very tricky, I need more information." ”

"Tell me everything you know." Liu Feng said solemnly.

"Secretary of the report, we don't know much, so far we don't even know how many people are inside, no one, Guoan's brother seems to know some." The director of the district public security bureau looked a little embarrassed in the face of the superior leaders.

The people of the national security were soon called, a young man who was not good-looking, although this kind of person would not arouse suspicion wherever he was lost, and it was precisely because of this that he was more suitable for the profession of an agent. The guy said calmly: "We have just been eyed, and we haven't figured out the true identity of the other party yet, the number of fifteen, all males, foreigners, between twenty and thirty-five years old, from the perspective of walking, like soldiers." ”

"Huh?" Wu Gang was stunned for a moment, and pondered, things were more responsible than he expected. If what you just said is true, there are only two ways in front of you, one is to disregard the safety of the hostages and storm in, which can save some face; The other is to agree to the other party's request and let the other party go.

At this time, Zhao Wouji, who was sitting in the car and dozing off a little, saw his brother Cheng Gang coming over, and said with a smile: "Old man, my brother is here, there must be no problem here, you can rest assured." ”

"Let's take another look." Tang Zhi said uneasily.

"Uh, that'll do." Zhao Wuji was not reluctant, and continued to accompany the squatting.

Wu Gang, who was over there, had a headache, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Secretary, comrades, I suggest that you first temporarily agree to the bandits' demands, and then act at the opportunity. ”

"Report, the bandits didn't ask for anything." The district public security bureau was afraid of giving the leader the impression of being incompetent, so he hurried back to the road.

"Huh?" The secretary was surprised and asked, "Where is this singing?" ”

There are no requirements, I don't know the details, and the strong attack is not possible, and everyone is in a dilemma.

"Why don't I go in and feel the situation?" Wu Gang suggested.

"I'm afraid not, the enemy may not accept it." The SWAT captain said, "Find the construction drawings and see if you can get through the sewer pipe." ”

Everyone was right to think about it, the drawings were quickly called up by the information technicians on the spot, everyone stared at the screen for a while, and found no valuable clues, Wu Gang wanted to ask, why is there no sewer channel in such a big shopping mall? How did you live with this firefight? Seeing that Liu Feng's face was pale, it was not good to ask again.

There is no underground water pipeline in such a big shopping mall, and there must be a cat in it, which Liu Feng is very happy in his heart, but now is not the time to pursue this problem, the top priority is to solve the hostage crisis, he glanced at everyone coldly, and said with a solemn face: "What else can be done?" ”

It doesn't work to attack, it doesn't work to sneak attack, and it doesn't work to agree to the other party's conditions, it seems to be a dead end, and there is no solution? Everyone was silent, Liu Feng's internal fire was attacking, such a big thing happened, he was duty-bound, if he didn't handle it properly, he would definitely fall into the hands of his political enemies, and his political future would basically come to an end, at this moment, Liu Feng couldn't wait to rush in and tear the gang apart.

The director of the public security bureau of the next district whispered: "Secretary, this group of people was first targeted by the comrades of national security, or not?" The implication is clear.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Feng can't wait to give this guy a slap in the face, such important information is not reported in time? If someone from the national security comes forward, even if the rescue fails, you can share some responsibility, right? Liu Feng hurriedly asked, "Where are the comrades of Guoan?" ”

A person from the national security was called, and Liu Feng said happily: "I am Liu Feng, what do you call a comrade?" ”

"Hello Secretary Liu, call me Xiaoji." The people of the national security do not say their names in public, which is also discipline, even in the face of the biggest leader, unless it is their immediate superior.

"Xiao Ji, since this group of people is your target, tell me about it, what do you know about them? In this situation, what do you think about national security? Liu Feng didn't care about these details, and hurriedly asked, the export is national security, which can be described as well-intentioned.

"The specific situation is not very clear, we also came after receiving the tip, we are very unfamiliar with this group of people, and this incident happened here, except that we know that they are all foreigners, with pistols, plastic bombs, a total of fifteen, nothing else is known." Xiao Ji said truthfully, also with a depressed face.

"Fifteen?" Liu Feng asked in surprise, there are guns and bombs, they look very professional, this is beyond the scope of ordinary police, it belongs to the work of armed police and special police, the problem is that the armed police and special police are also at a loss, this is the whole, how to be good?

"How many hostages are in there?" Wu Gang calmly looked at the director of the district public security bureau and asked.

"It's the peak time for work, the specific number of people is unknown, such a large office building, at least more than 100." The director of the district public security bureau hurriedly and truthfully reported.

It's normal not to figure out the number of people, after all, it's a sudden accident, who has nothing to do to run here to count people? Wu Gang calmly stared at the Union Square building, looked at the surrounding environment, and while thinking, after a while, he said to the SWAT captain: "There are no suitable buildings around, is there a way to find a few sniper positions?" ”

The SWAT captain shook his head and smiled bitterly, the conditions have been arranged early, there are many buildings around, but they are not as high as Union Square, and the SWAT has found that the enemy has climbed to the roof of the building as an observation post, and the ambush cannot escape the enemy's field of vision anywhere, and there is no way to snipe.

Wu Gang also saw this, and overestimated the ability of this group of people by a few points, at least the terrain selection is very professional, it should have been premeditated a long time ago, and he was depressed to death, and said: "Secretary, let me go in and negotiate with them, right?" Maybe there's a chance to break the deadlock, that's not a thing. ”

"Well, are you sure?" Liu Feng is also a dead horse and a live horse doctor, anyway, failure is a dead friend and not a poor man, it doesn't matter, in the face of political future, anyone can be used to sacrifice, right?

"Try it," Wu Gang also has no choice, as the leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation affairs, if he doesn't go to hell, who will go to hell?

At this time, there was a commotion in the rear, and everyone looked back, it turned out to be reporters who rushed to the news, TV stations, newspapers, everything, as if they had smelled the smell of blood, and rushed into it desperately, trying to break through the defense line and rushing to the front line to grab a hand of news, this professionalism is commendable.

"Isn't this nonsense, go, stop them." When Liu Feng saw this scene, he shouted to the director of the district public security bureau, and the director hurriedly ran to coordinate.

Just when Wu Gang took off his gun ID and was about to go in, suddenly a crisp gunshot rang out, Wu Gang looked back, it turned out that at some point, several reporters broke through the cordon and rushed to the front, one of them was shot, fell to the ground and groaned in pain, and the other reporters turned pale and retreated, completely lacking the momentum just now and the professionalism of not being afraid of death.

"Idiot." Wu Gang glanced at the reporter and strode forward, the reporter has his own police to deal with it, Wu Gang knows that his task is to move forward, either die on the road or go inside, there is no third way, who makes himself the number one in charge of criminal investigation affairs?

Seeing this scene, Zao Wou-Ki was surprised and asked Tang Zhidao: "What do the people in here mean, it is said that they should let the reporter in, send a few cruel words, and make things bigger, right?" Don't all terrorists like to do this? That's what my old man did in the first place, huh? ”

"It's weird, don't they want to make it bigger? The problem is big enough. Tang Zhi couldn't see through it, and looked at it carefully in surprise, as if talking to himself: "Can your brother go in?" Will it be dangerous? ”

As he was talking, suddenly, there were two crisp gunshots, and Zhao Wuji was taken aback and hurriedly looked over.
