Chapter VII: Kidnapping Cases
The Westa Sector is one of the three major Sectors of the Human Federation, located in the North Perseus Cantilever, close to the Dependent Sector, bordering the Holy Empire of Ifrix.
Due to the fact that the Westa Star Region is far from the war border with the Earth Council, and there are a large number of habitable planets and mineral-rich asteroid belts in its territory, the Star Region is rich and peaceful, and can provide a large amount of minerals and energy to the Federation every year, and the output even exceeds that of the other three star regions combined.
As the economic core of the Federation, the core business district of the capital of the Westa Star District, the Beiluoshimen system, actually had an extremely tragic and bloody violent incident, and the police acted very quickly, in just thirty minutes, the heavily armed SWAT had arrived at the center of the incident, controlling and surrounding all the areas below the floor where the hostages were taken.
Medical personnel quickly arrived at the scene and found that 28 people had died on the spot, 2 were seriously injured and 1 was slightly injured. The assailants used heavy individual weapons, which were incredibly destructive, and there was no difference in target selection, which can be described as extremely ferocious.
The Governor of the Star District, Ye Zirin, also arrived at the scene in person, not only to show the importance of this incident, but also because her favorite sister was abducted by such a murderous criminal.
"According to the surveillance, there are three targets, one is a white-skinned man, around 40 years old, estimated to be more than 1.90 meters tall, carrying an extremely dangerous rotary tube pulse machine gun, and the other is a yellow-skinned man......"
Police Commissioner Renaud was reporting the situation to Ye Zirin, and finally, he lowered his voice and said seriously in Ye Zirin's ear: "According to the analysis of professionals, the target is very likely to be a synthetic. ”
"Do your best to block the news and don't let this information cause unnecessary panic among the population." Ye Zirin said with an unchanged face.
The police chief nodded repeatedly: "I have already asked the people below to block the reporters." For the rescue plan of the hostages, our most professional team is drawing up a plan, and the hostages will be rescued unscathed! ”
In the end, the police chief was impassioned, saying that if he succeeded in rescuing the governor's sister this time, his future career would be smooth sailing.
To this end, he ordered all the nearby sub-bureaus in charge of other case agents to be summoned to the scene, and a temporary task force of up to 100 people was formed.
Ye Zirin nodded silently, but sighed in her heart, after seeing the tragic scene, she didn't have much hope that her family Nana would come back alive.
Regardless of whether the murderer is a synthetic person or not, judging from the fact that they killed people without hesitation, the murderer doesn't care about the consequences at all, and the kidnapping of his sister must have something to ask for, and the request is huge, and it is not something that he can easily satisfy.
The secretary quickly stepped forward and said to Ye Zirin: "Li Xinghe, the patriarch of the Li family, Count Bled of the Aaron family, and Duke Valentin of the Angus family all want to talk to you. ”
This Zeg drink shop is the most famous high-end restaurant in this commercial area A, and the murderer's indiscriminate murder caused several noble children to die on the spot. Thinking that he would have to face those angry noble elders later, Ye Zirin couldn't help but feel a little throbbing pain in his temples.
"I don't have time to answer the phone right now, so you can find a reason to prevaricate." She instructed the secretary.
"Report to Governor Ye, Director of Renault. Our negotiators are already communicating with the inmates. "A small police officer ran over.
"Connect to the big screen." Renault waved his hand in an imposing manner.
The holographic projector is turned on, and the footage shows the first-person view of the camera robot entering the floor where the hostage was taken.
"Listen, prisoners inside, you are surrounded! Hurry up and lay down your arms, release the hostages, and fight for leniency! "Negotiators can be heard shouting into the horn from afar.
A "pop" shot rang out, and the picture on the holographic screen spun.
"What's the situation? Faulty? Fix it quickly! Director Renault yelled at a group of technical officers.
A sleek police officer, sweating profusely, said to Director Renault, "The robot is offline, probably destroyed, and the camera fell to the ground." ”
At this moment, the camera seemed to have been picked up, and in a flash, the two girls who were kidnapped could be vaguely seen, and the picture of them struggling and moaning made Ye Zirin's heart tighten.
The picture stopped, and in the center was the face of a middle-aged yellow-skinned man, who said to the camera: "We have no other requirements, exchange Ye Zirin for these two girls." ”
After saying that, the screen fell into a cacophony of signals.
"Report, Report to the Director, Governor, the camera signal has been lost." The fat police officer who came to report just now continued.
Ye Zirin looked at Renault inquiringly.
Renault immediately understood, he wiped a handful of sweat, and said: "The negotiations have broken down, our men are working out a plan for a strong attack, and the snipers have been deployed." ”
"The report director, the sniper reported that the shooting window could not be found, and the prisoner was in a dead end."
After a moment of silence, Ye Zirin sighed and said, "I'll go in and change hostages." ”
Renault and the police officer beside him looked at each other, and hurriedly stopped: "Governor Ye, this is absolutely not good, your status is noble, and you must not risk your life." ”
Renault knew very well that Ye Zirin was worried about his sister. But if Ye Zilin is bad, he, the police chief, doesn't have to do it.
Ye Zirin knew that even if she really went in, the other party might not let her daughter go, and her proposal just now was just from the position of a sister.
As the top commander on the scene, she had to remain absolutely calm.
"Draw up a plan for me immediately." Ye Zirin said.
Director Renault glanced at one of the officers.
The officer took a few steps forward and said, "Report to the Governor and the Director, we have a preliminary plan. ”
"We attacked from the front and got the attention of the prisoners. Then send a good psionic tactician to sneak up the elevator shaft and use the psychic blast to quickly inactivate the target. ”
"Okay, let's do it now." Ye Zirin did not hesitate at all and gave the order.
"No, the prisoner is a positron brain synthesizer, with excellent multi-threading ability, in other words, he can use two or even multiple purposes, and the tactic of attracting attention against ordinary humans will not work at all." A young voice came from the side, "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the sneak attack is successful, the psychic explosion may not be able to destroy the synth's mind." ”
The police officer and the governor turned their heads, and it was Zhang Xiu who spoke.
"Who are you?" Ye Zirin asked.
A police officer recognized Zhang Xiu: "It's a survivor at the scene before." ”
Zhang Xiu should have left to receive medical care a long time ago, but he was not injured and was a little worried about his classmates, so he returned to the scene.
Hearing the police's forcible attack plan, Zhang Xiu easily discovered the loophole of this plan under Xiao Zuo's reminder, and subconsciously said it.
"This is a command place, don't enter the idle people! Kick him out. Renault said with a frown.
"Wait," Ye Zirin stopped him, "Do you have any good advice for this little brother." ”
Hearing Zhang Xiu's previous speech, Ye Zirin also noticed a detail, the prisoner was a synthetic, and the Westa Star District, as the hinterland of the empire, had never faced the threat of synths.
The police in the Sector have never had any experience in dealing with synths, and it's too late to call in an expert on synths, the survivor seems to know a lot about synths, and maybe he can have any good ideas.
Although Ye Zirin is as calm as water on the surface, he is actually already anxious, and he can't help but hug any life-saving straw that he picks up even if it just looks like it.
