The inky night swallowed everything, and I couldn't see my fingers.

A group of people instantly felt blind.

"What's wrong?! I can't see anything! ”

"Oh no, the suspect pulled the electric switch!" A policeman shouted.

"Hurry up and hit the headlights of the police car into the bank." Another high-ranking police officer commanded.

After all, a group of policemen were professionally trained, and soon illuminated the bank hall as bright as daylight with their headlights.

The blue night sky is as deep as the invisible bottom of the sea. There was not a breeze blowing among the leaves. The crescent moon is like a half-ring of gold, and the stars like small white flowers are embedded in the deep blue sky.

The neon of the city outlined the silhouette of the heavy figures, and Wu Jingxue passed through the gazes of the spectators and the red cordon, and strode towards the drama that was unfolding in front of him.

"Martial arts."

"Captain Wu! There you are. Two policemen ran up to Wu Jingxue and raised their hands in salute. The pale cheeks of the two showed exhaustion and helplessness, but the dark eyes flashed with anticipation.

Wu Jingxue raised his hand in return, looked at the encirclement formed by a large number of colleagues and police cars in front of him, and asked, "Is Director Zhang here?" What about the other captains? ”

"They didn't come."

"The leader went to the countryside, and he couldn't come over in time. They all said you just need to come. Two colleagues scrambled to reply. Wu Jingxue suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his body, and he was used to such an arrangement, and checked the body armor on his body and the gun on his waist, so he continued to walk forward, while continuing to ask, "What is the specific situation now?" Haven't made progress? ”

"The suspect was blocked in the bank hall by our colleagues." Two colleagues followed in the footsteps of Wu Jingxue and walked to the front of a bank that was illuminated by the headlights of the car in the daytime.

Wu Jingxue asked, "What else?" ”

A colleague said: "The suspect refused any persuasion and put a knife on the neck of a hostage. ”

Wu Jingxue had already walked to the edge of the cordon, and kept his mood as calm as possible: "How is the hostage?" ”

The colleague said, "The hostage is about seventeen or eighteen years old." ”

"There are no injuries for the time being, but the suspect is emotionally unstable."

Wu Jingxue threw out a series of questions. "There must be a reason for it, why did the suspect rob the bank? Has he been identified? ”

The colleague's deep voice was filled with bloodthirsty rage. "Found out. The suspect's name is Wang Gu, 28 years old, male. Now I am working as a martial arts instructor and has no previous convictions. I have a fourteen-year-old sister and an old mother in her sixties. His motive for grabbing the money was probably to treat his sister's illness. Here's his profile. ”

The colleague handed over a few sheets of A4 paper.

"Treat your sister?" Wu Jingxue sighed in his heart, and took the few pieces of information that he suddenly felt a little heavy. "Yes. His sister actually got breast cancer at a young age. Chemotherapy requires a lot of money, and his salary as a martial arts instructor is not high, compared to all the income and savings. But the cost of follow-up treatment, he should not be able to afford it. I went to the hospital to inquire, and his sister had stopped treatment for a while because she was in arrears with her medical bills. The colleague uttered his analysis and sighed again. If this drags on for a long time, the cancer cells will easily spread, and the person will not be saved. ”

"His sister is also a miserable person." Wu Jingxue immediately understood all the circumstances.

In order to raise his sister's medical expenses, Wang Gu took the risk to rob the bank, which is understandable.

But this is not a reason to commit a crime.

"Comrade policeman." The figure of a young man suddenly flashed at the edge of the encirclement, rushing through the barriers of several colleagues and running towards Wu Jingxue.

He was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, the young man was wearing a black tracksuit, his posture was vigorous, his face was anxious, his facial features were upright and angular, his sword eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, and his white cheeks exuded a bookish air from the inside out.

And his actions and words at the moment are very different from himself: "How is my girlfriend?" Can you do it? She's been held hostage for so long, and she hasn't been rescued yet! You are all waste, rice buckets, taking taxpayers' money and not doing things! I'm going to report you for dereliction of duty! ”

The young man waved his slender arms excitedly, grabbing Wu Jingxue's neckline, and his face was almost touching Wu Jingxue's forehead.

He shouted loudly: "If it drags on any longer, my girlfriend may die, and there is no one in your bunch who is a little more powerful?!" Can't you, the leader, take the lead?! ”

"Sir, you're only interfering with our rescue operation!" The two colleagues roared and rushed up, tearing the boy away from Wu Jingxue.

"Please calm down. We are preparing the best scenario. After many years of police career, Wu Jingxue is not angry at all, think about it from another perspective. If your girlfriend is hijacked, it may be even more difficult for you to control yourself.

So Wu Jingxue patiently explained: "The rescue operation must be foolproof, and you don't want us to recklessly crash into it." This may anger the suspect and be even more detrimental to your girlfriend's situation. ”

After Wu Jingxuan's words, the young man also calmed down a little, but his face was still red, and his heart was heavy. "Comrade policeman, I'm sorry, I just lost my temper. My girlfriend is very important to me and I really like her. Please save her, don't let anything happen to her, she's still so young. ”

At the end, the teenager was young after all, and he almost cried.

"Don't worry. You have to trust us. Wu Jingxue's calm and calm answer made the young man's heart settle down a little. Wu Jingxue stared straight at the obsidian-bright pupils that were staring at the young man, and also squeezed the young man's hand, passing on his temperature. "I've had someone I liked, I understand your feelings, and I won't let you down."

This last sentence made the boy finally calm down a little, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

A colleague hurriedly ran over and whispered in Wu Jingxue's ear: "Captain Wu! The snipers sent by the SWAT team are already in place. Is there an order to shoot a suspect? ”

"Wait a minute. Snipers are not allowed to shoot without my orders. Let me give it a try and persuade the suspect. Wu Jingxue stuffed the walkie-talkie into his pocket.

Two hours have passed since the suspect took the hostage, and colleagues at the scene must have made all the attempts. The use of snipers in this situation to solve the case is completely reasonable, and certainly more legitimate.

However, it is easy to injure the hostages by mistake, and if the hostages die, then the operation is a failure.

From the suspect's point of view, the suspect may be able to say that he deserves the crime, but his sister, who is struggling to survive, will lose her financial resources, loss of care and support, and loss of her relatives and friends.

Her fate undoubtedly had only one outcome: to die quietly soon after.

"No, well. Captain Wu! The suspect has a gun! The colleague next to him exclaimed.

Another colleague said eagerly: "The suspect is extremely vicious, and the policeman who just entered was shot." Fortunately, he dodged quickly and only hit his arm, otherwise he would have gone to see Lord Yama. ”

"That's right, if you want to persuade the suspect, we brought a loudspeaker, just shout at the door, don't get too close."

"That's right, the suspect has very bad mood swings, you passed, your personal safety cannot be guaranteed, and the safety of the hostages is not guaranteed, this is not a way to get the best of both worlds."

In the face of the concerned words of his colleagues, Wu Jingxue shook his head and continued to walk forward firmly. The slight sound of the concrete floor rubbing against the soles of the shoes seems to ignore the noisy environment and clearly reach everyone's ears.

The boy said, "I'm going too." ”

Wu Jingxue did not continue to make eye contact with his pleading and expectant gaze, but turned his eyes to the bank again, "No. ”

The boy continued to plead: "Let me go, my girlfriend has been kidnapped, she must be scared, I can stabilize my girlfriend's emotions, I promise not to drag you down." ”

Wu Jing thought about it for a while, and stabilizing the hostage's emotions was conducive to rescuing the hostage. So he found a body armor for the teenager to put on. "You have to control your emotions and listen to my arrangement. Got it? ”

The boy put on his body armor and nodded. "Understood."

Wu Jingxue led the young man through the gap in the encirclement and looked at the bank hall where the steel gate had been half-closed.

The lights in the hall had been extinguished, and only the snow-white pillars of light seemed to be as hard and sharp as a shape, stabbing roughly into the shattered floor-to-ceiling windows. The strong chiaroscuro makes it difficult for the eyes to adapt for a while, and the shiny broken glass all over the ground is swaying with a little light spot, which seriously interferes with the vision.

A security guard lay on the ground, blood already dried and smeared beneath him, his face twisted in pain. One eye was wide open, and the other side of the face was a black bloody hole, and a black and white eyeball was dripping and spinning not far away.

The scene was bloody and terrifying.

Wu Jingxue's eyebrows twisted together, and he walked to the front of the endless pillar of light.

……

A policeman stepped forward and said, "Don't do this, have something to say." If there are any difficulties, our police can also help you solve them. ”

"I said don't come!" Wang Gu's knife approached Bai Chunhe's neck a little, cutting through the dermis, and the red blood dripped down the woman's neck and fell on the clothes, and the bright red blood stained her goose-yellow dress red, like a blood-colored rose blooming in a winter night, with an incomparably brilliant and poignant beauty, which made people sobble and palpitate......

And there was still a red blood stain on the tip of the knife, and the blood was obviously not dry.

"Don't go over." Wu Jingxue tugged at the hem of the policeman's clothes.

Bai Chunhe recognized the police, tears suddenly flashed in her eyes, she glanced around at Grandpa Mao who was scattered on the ground, and when she turned back, the bright tears had been scratched on her pure and lovely cheeks, her fragrant shoulders trembled, and all kinds of sadness in her heart were self-evident. "Senior Wu, help me. I'm so young, I don't want to die. ”

Wu Jingxue and Bai Chunhe were still alumni back then, and the two had a few words in the library.

"Bai Chunhe?"

Wu Jingxue also recognized Bai Chunhe, the nobleman who killed Matt back then was slim, the girl's clear and firm eyes became so confused and helpless, and her long hair fell on her shoulders, so scattered. The goose-yellow dress was covered in mud and dirt, and stained with the marks of dry blood.

He was stunned for a moment.

The young man poked his head out from behind Wu Jingxuan, "Chunhe, don't worry, we will definitely save you." ”

When he saw the young man, Bai Chunhe seemed to be choked by someone, his eyes were about to fall to the ground, and he couldn't speak, "Chu Jinlu, you, you, you ......"
