There were three other people in the office, one was René, the French deputy inspector of the French Concession Special Patrol, one was Zhong Caisheng, the Chinese detective of the French Arrest Room, and the other was dressed in civilian clothes, but Shen Chen didn't know him.

"Agent Shen, these three are senior police officers of the legal arrest room......" Everett first introduced Shen Chen, and then explained the task, "Your team is responsible for cooperating with this hostage rescue operation, and the specific situation will be explained by Inspector Zhong......"

Rene, Zhong Caisheng, and Cao Bingsheng, the leader of the law capture room in civilian clothes, Shen Chen recognized it all this time.

Zhong Caisheng began to tell the story of the case: it turned out that the son of Zhang Wenbao, a wealthy Chinese businessman in the French Concession, was kidnapped, and the legal arrest room caught the kidnappers who were negotiating, and learned that the kidnappers had hidden the hostages in a western-style house on Pushi Road in the Public Concession, and that there were about six people guarding them.

Because the case was committed in the French Concession, and the "ticket" involved the Public Concession, the case was transferred to the special patrol team, and the two companies were required to conduct joint operations.

According to the confession, four of the six bandits had been soldiers and had good marksmanship. The weapons he holds are about four shell guns and two revolvers, and it is very dangerous to start a ticket......" Although Zhong Caisheng spoke politely, he looked a little contemptuous of Shen Chen in his expression.

"It's certainly dangerous to swagger to get tickets." Shen Chen is neither humble nor arrogant, although the police rank is lower than Zhong Caisheng, "How are you going to act and attack?" Or do you want to be safe and outwitted? ”

Zhong Caisheng was stunned, and before he could speak, Shen Chen continued: "Of course, we are cooperating, so naturally you are the main ones. ”

Zhong Caisheng let out a long breath and said, "We have already reconnoitred the situation near the western-style building, and are ready to act after dark, first surround this western-style building, and then sneak into the guest hall through the window on the first floor......"

It sounds like that, and the situation of the house has indeed been reconnoitred, but with your skills and quality, can you not alarm the kidnappers? And just surrounding, the western-style building has three floors, and there are no snipers at the commanding heights around it?

Of course, snipers are a little ahead of their time, but there must be a few good marksmanship, right? Equipped with a rifle, once detected by bandits, it can also play a covering role, right?

But Shen Chen didn't say anything, just nodded and accepted his task.

"The task is clear, so let's go down and prepare! Hopefully, in this ghost weather, I can get a victory. Everett politely invited his colleagues from the Fa Capture Room to the reception room next to him, but when he turned around, he found that Shen Chen had not left.

"Sir." Shen Chen gently closed the door and said in a deep voice: "Regarding this operation, I have a few suggestions, I hope you can adopt them. ”

Everett admires Shen Chen, who dares to fight, much like when he was young.

Therefore, he called Shen Chen to his desk and motioned for Shen Chen to sit down and listen to his suggestion.

"It makes a lot of sense and it's very thoughtful." Everett thought for a while, nodded with a smile, and said: "I will prepare the personnel and weapons you need, I hope that in this operation, you can have an outstanding performance." ”

"Yes, thank you for your support." Shen Chen saluted and turned to leave.

When night fell, Shen Chen had already rushed to the vicinity of the western-style building with his team. Everett brought in four guys with good marksmanship from the riot squad and came with the team.

According to the prior arrangement, Shen Chen arranged his squad on the left side and behind the western-style building, while the four gunners were armed with rifles and occupied the commanding heights on these two sides.

In addition to asking for four good gunners, Everett also asked for five shotguns for the team at Shen Chen's request, as well as a body armor for each person.

The sky was overcast, and it was actually sleet, so no wonder Everett said it was ghost weather.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the people of the legal arrest room began to move.

Zhong Caisheng commanded, and several patrols sneaked into the western-style building, glued glutinous rice dumplings to the glass window, smashed the glass window almost silently, pulled out the pins, and infiltrated the guest hall.

But the accident happened quickly, perhaps because the patrol skills were not good enough and the action was not fast enough; Or maybe the kidnappers in the guest hall were too vigilant and the gunshots rang out.

The other kidnappers heard the movement and joined the fight with their guns, and the gunfire intensified.

The standard pistol of the French Capture House is a Browning pistol produced in Belgium, commonly known as a gun brand pistol. In terms of quality and use evaluation, it was also a very good pistol at that time.

The main weapon used by the kidnappers is the barge gun, commonly known as the box gun, which is a considerable type of pistol in terms of power and range.

Browning vs. Box Cannon, it is impossible to say who is superior or inferior, and the victory or defeat of the battle depends on the quality of the person.

For the same gun, a person who has only received general military training can grasp the firing distance of about 20 meters.

After rigorous training, many people are able to increase the meaningful firing range of a pistol to 50 meters.

When it comes to the excellent pistol shooters in the special forces, they are able to reach the range of one hundred and fifty meters.

To put it bluntly, the so-called effective range of the pistol is only a theoretical data, which varies from person to person, and is not absolute.

The fierce battle continued, and in this battle of patrolling and arresting bandits, it seems that the bandits who had been soldiers were more powerful, and the patrol could not rush to the third floor.

The flash of shooting continued to illuminate the window, and the shouts and screams kept ringing out, even if it was still dozens of meters away from the western-style building, Shen Chen could hear it.

The flashlight shone on the western-style building, and it was the person who caught the house. Immediately, several bullets were fired, and the flashlight went out amid the screams.

"No flashlights, get down!" There were some angry voices, and Shen Chen sounded like Zhong Caisheng.

The rain and snow kept falling, sticking to people's bodies and heads; And what flies in the air, even more deadly, is the bullet.

The mournful screams of police cars and ambulances rang out, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau sent reinforcements.

The captors finally reached the third floor, but the kidnappers climbed up to the roof from the sundeck and continued to resist. The people in the law arrest room wanted to go to the house to chase him, but they were pressed back.

Everett, who was wearing a raincoat, ran over with a stern face and said to Shen Chen: "The people in the law arrest room want to stop the exchange of fire and avoid casualties; Trap the kidnappers on the roof first, and then catch them all after dawn. ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "Sir, I want to take someone to rush and settle the battle as soon as possible." If it lasts too long, isn't the impact not good? ”

Everett thought for a moment, looked at Shen Chen with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked, "Are you sure?" The legal arrest room is a lot of casualties. ”

Shen Chen looked back with a confident and firm gaze, and saluted: "Don't worry, sir, I have a great deal." ”

"Good!" Everett smiled and nodded, "You prepare first, I'll go talk to Rene." ”

Whether it's good or bad, or how big or small the credit is, Everett wants to fight for it.

Of course, he had heard Shen Chen's arrangement and felt that now that the kidnappers were forced on the roof, it was indeed a good opportunity to deal with them.
