Chapter 18: The Opening of the Drama (1 Update)
"Hey, NBC News? I did the explosion just now, and I also kidnapped more than a dozen rich people with a total worth of more than 10 billion...... By the way, there is also a high-ranking White House official! Am I kidding? You tell me? Listen, and to find out why I'm doing this, send out your best live online reporters! Remember, I'm at the steel mill to the east of the industrial area...... That's right, you'd better hurry up, you'll run out of place if it's too late. ”
"CBS News? Without further ado, if you want to know what happened to the explosion and the police in the whole city, send out the best journalists, and I'll be waiting for you at the steel mill east of the industrial zone...... Nonsense, who else could it be if I didn't do it? You're calling you when I'm idle? ”
"Is it ABC? It is my pleasure to inform you that in order to win this year's Pulitzer Prize, all journalists will be sent to the steel mill in the east of the industrial zone...... You're so smart, I did it! And it's not over yet, if you want to continue to look down, send someone over quickly! ”
……
One phone call after another went out, and all the media reporters in the city went crazy with the police.
After all, Los Angeles is one of the largest metropolises in the world, and as the seat of Hollywood, the media industry is not only developed, but even to some extent, journalists can move much faster than the police.
Only three police helicopters were dispatched, and there were more than a dozen helicopters for news interviews belonging to several major radio and television companies, but more than a dozen appeared at the same time!
In addition to helicopters, dozens of news vans are heading in the direction of their destinations, and the media in the city are in a larger position than the police.
The steel mill is located on the east side of the industrial area, which is far away from the commercial area, and the traffic is unimpeded, and if you are starting from the city, you can take the highway all the way, and you can reach it in half an hour at most.
In fact, with the exception of those who flew in helicopters, the vast majority of the media arrived with police cars.
It's not that they don't want to arrive sooner, but because as soon as the cars left the city, they were all stopped by the police on the grounds that "the front is under lockdown and martial law."
Such a bad reason was obviously unconvincing for the uncrowned king, so a large group of reporters began to turn to the media they worked for for help.
Soon, the policemen who were ordered to block the road got out of the way with a bitter face.
If you don't get out of the way, you can't do it, God knows how it will be arranged by reporters, and besides, people's helicopters have already flown over, so it's not interesting to just stop the interview car.
At this time, the steel mill was already empty, and such a big thing happened, and before the explosion-proof car driven by the governor appeared, the people in the steel mill had already learned the news and began to organize the evacuation of personnel.
When the explosion-proof car driven by the governor appeared at the gate of the steel mill, the whole factory was silent, and there was no one.
The number of police cars that arrived immediately after that increased again, and more than 50 police cars blocked the water blocking the entrance of the steel mill.
Seeing the governor jump out of the car, hundreds of policemen with long and short guns in their hands pointed their guns at the governor, but no one dared to shoot first.
The reason is very simple, those "masters" who are coming out of the explosion-proof car are the real targets of the police who are nervous and concerned.
It's easy to kill this big guy in sunglasses with one shot, and there are not a few snipers on the scene, but the question is who dares to guarantee that once "he" is dead, will the hostages he took also hang up?
No one dares to take such a risk!
In fact, the Los Angeles police have already found out the specific information about the hostages, and after verifying it, everyone in the top echelons of the police department is dumbfounded.
In addition to the police, other law enforcement agencies such as the FBI, CBI, SWAT, etc., are also secretly starting to act.
No one can cover the cover, no one can cover it, and no one wants to cover it, but in less than an hour, the TV news network covering the whole country began to broadcast this shocking case.
In this regard, people from all over the world actually have one thing in common, and that is to be happy!
Watching the excitement and listening to the news and gossip, this is originally one of the bad roots engraved in the bones of human beings, not to mention that the hostages who have been taken are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people with hatred of the rich are undoubtedly the most fond of similar news.
"You're already surrounded, immediately lay down your weapons and lie on the ground!"
Although they knew that it was useless to say this, the police had no choice, and the standard procedure should still be followed, so a police officer who led the team took out a megaphone and shouted at the governor.
The governor was naturally indifferent, and it would definitely not respond until he received Zhao Ze's next instruction.
Seeing that it didn't work, the police officer who led the team could only give up his luck mentality, and just ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on the governor, and at the same time kept asking his superiors and calling for support.
In less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of police cars roared in, but with them were journalists.
First of all, the helicopters in the sky fell one after another, but fortunately, these reporters were still somewhat sensible, and rushed into the steel mill without carrying cameras and microphones.
Seeing so many reporters coming at once, the police don't mention how big they are, in case the hostages are killed or injured due to the crossfire in the process of rescuing the hostages, the police officers present will be scapegoats.
No one wants to be a scapegoat, and in the face of an interview with reporters, the police officer who led the team could only shake his head over and over again: No comment!
"Look! What is that? ”
At this moment, a sharp-eyed female reporter suddenly pointed to the tip of her head and shouted.
The people around raised their heads to look at the sky, so everyone was dumbfounded.
Another photographer witnessed Zhao Ze falling from the sky and blurted out: "Shan ...... Solo aircraft? That's a solo flying machine! ”
With the advent of the 90s, the United States of America is ushering in another golden period, and the people generally have confidence in the technology products that have appeared in the movies, especially in the context of the popularity of science fiction movies, and Americans firmly believe that one day, the technology products in the movies will also appear in reality.
In fact, in a sense, the idea of these Yankees cannot be miscalculated, and the flying machine behind Zhao Ze is indeed made in the United States - although it is only a product of Hollywood movies.
"Don't move!" Seeing this newly emerged Asian teenager, the police officer who led the team instinctively felt a little bad, and he immediately beckoned his subordinates and asked some of them to aim their guns at Zhao Ze.
If you change to an ordinary person, you will sweat a little at this time, but for Zhao Ze, who has mastered the ability of prediction, it is useless to double the number of these policemen on the other side.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just the director of today's scene, the real protagonist is not me, put the gun down, okay?" Zhao Ze waved his hand at a group of policemen, and then turned his gaze to the reporters who arrived first, "Everyone, the person who called you is me!" Interested in coming over and watching the play together? ”
There are still reporters who are not afraid of death, and in order to win the Pulitzer Prize, there are not a few reporters who dare to go out, if it were not for the fact that they were stopped by the police, there would have been reporters who rushed into the steel mill to interview Zhao Ze and the governor.
However, these policemen are destined to be unable to stop reporters, and the scene is chaotic, and many emotional female reporters even dare to poke their fingers in the policemen's faces, let alone spit on stars.
Zhao Ze is not in a hurry, anyway, today's big drama has just opened, as for how it ends, he didn't think about it at all, it's a big deal that when the time comes, he will leave and let the Yankees clean up the mess they left behind.
Just then, another group of police officers arrived in police helicopters, including the high-ranking Los Angeles Police Department chief superintendent and the most experienced negotiator.
As soon as the negotiators came into battle, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn, and the reporters who had been making noise before stopped speaking out -- if they made any more noise at this time, they would be obstructing the judicial process, and the reporters were not stupid.
"Hello, can I come in and talk to you? Rest assured, I didn't carry any weapons. The gray-haired negotiator raised his hands in the air to signal that he was not in danger.
Zhao Ze glanced at him and said lukewarmly: "Wait first, it's not the time yet." ”
Zhao Ze has watched too many Hollywood blockbusters, and he can't be clearer about Yankee's routines, but he is not in a hurry, everyone has not come yet, and it is not too late to talk about it when everyone arrives.
The negotiator's face froze, and he almost didn't know how to answer the next sentence, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and immediately asked, "Can I come in?" I can be silent for now. ”
"Come in, and let you testify too." Zhao Ze responded lazily, anyway, a sheep is a drive, and a group of sheep is also a drive, and it is better to have multiple negotiators in hand.
If the negotiator was amnesty, he didn't need Zhao Ze to speak, he took the initiative to take off his shirt and walked in the direction of the hostage wearing only a shirt.
The governor glanced at him, turned his head to Zhao Ze and said, "There is no danger." ”
Zhao Ze nodded, and said in his heart that he was not afraid of danger, it was nothing more than a waste of one more bullet.
As long as the robbers are willing to talk, this is a good thing, the most afraid is the kind of who does not say a word, the negotiator knows this, and at the same time he also knows that the police are now a rat trap, knowing that the robbers are only two, but they dare not snipe remotely, so the heavy responsibility of rescuing the hostages is all on him.
If the rescue is successful this time, then there is no doubt that his life after retirement will be comfortable.
"Hello, would you like to talk to me?" Seeing Zhao Ze's expression of being too lazy to pay attention to him, the negotiator could only find the governor first and try to open a breakthrough from it.
However, the governor's response was also very simple, "Stand back and keep a safe distance from me!" ”
The negotiator was a little confused, what the hell is going on with these two robbers? Why is it that oil and salt don't go in? Since such a shocking case has been committed, there must always be a demand, so what's the matter with not saying a word?
In desperation, he could only talk to the hostages.
