Chapter 25: Hostage-taking

There were more than twenty sheriffs ashore, but the only land vehicles were the patrol car brought by Shen Lan and Duan Xi's motorcycle.

So when Shen Lan came, the gang drove immediately, and the brothers of the surface patrol team followed on foot. It's just that this time, Shen Lan somehow chose to sit on Duan Xi's motorcycle.

stepped up and hugged Duan Xi's waist directly, not polite at all.

"Why doesn't Sister Lan take that car."

"Less nonsense, hurry!" Seeing that the motorcycle started, Shen Lan explained, "Those fugitives probably also know that we have a lot of people and cars, so they will definitely not run along the main road stupidly, but will choose those trails next to it." When the time comes, will the cart be able to drive in? ”

This is where the benefits of the lightness and agility of the motorcycle come in.

Duan Xi bared his teeth and said, "Doesn't that mean that once we enter the path, the two of us will take the lead?" ”

"What are you afraid of? Aren't you the god of war on Qianbao Street, a gang of Jiangzi Battalion bandits were killed on the train, and Qianbao Street fought Zhao Ziyue and thirty dogs alone, dealing with just a few fugitives. ”

"Sister, people may have guns!"

"Eh, these four people attacked with guns, didn't you kill them?"

"There's an element of luck."

"Don't worry, I won't let you risk it in vain." Shen Lan said as she stuffed a hard thing into Duan Xi's belt.

Sheriff's gun!

Before getting on the motorcycle, Shen Lan temporarily requisitioned a subordinate weapon.

"Let you use it temporarily, and return it when you run out."

After speaking, she unceremoniously hugged Duan Xi tightly and urged him to hurry up and rush forward.

So there was a rich warmth in the back, which was in stark contrast to Mu Rou's cautious way of riding the car.

As Shen Lan expected, after chasing for hundreds of meters, Duan Xi saw several figures entering the small alley next to him.

Behind him, Shen Lan is familiar with the terrain of this area, saying that this place is mostly a shanty town in Danjiang, with a patch of low-rise houses, and a complicated path in the middle.

Duan Xi: "Still chasing?" ”

Shen Lan: "Nonsense! ”

The opportunity for direct promotion is right in front of you, and it is not a grandson who is not chasing.

As for the patrol car with six people in the back, they could only sigh with admiration, and the sheriffs got out of the car one after another to follow on foot, but after a while, they lost contact with Duan Xi's motorcycle.

Bang!

A dull cold gun rang out, twenty meters in front of Duan Xi!

However, Duan Xi's reaction to danger was as sensitive as a beast, and he didn't know how many times he had been tempered by death. Just before the other party fired, a sense of crisis arose, and he urgently struck the right direction, almost hitting the low brick wall.

It was this momentary turn that was able to dodge the fatal shot.

There was also a slight "huh" sound from the opposite side, as if he was very surprised by Duan Xi's performance.

Shen Lan behind him swooped out, and he could suppress the opponent with firepower in the high-speed pursuit.

Duan Xi dropped his motorcycle and followed, and at the same time was not surprised by Shen Lan's performance. As soon as they shook hands when they met for the first time, he touched the calluses on Shen Lan's palms. Without years of gun training, it would not have been possible to be like that.

However, his body technique was a little unexpected, because although Shen Lan's fighting strength was not as good as Zhao Ziyue's, it was also much stronger than ordinary people.

In the martial arts, martial arts practitioners who are proficient in martial arts but have not yet entered the qi realm are vaguely classified as third-level martial artists. Those below the third level are not in the stream, and can only be regarded as martial arts enthusiasts, and only when they reach the level of a third-level martial artist can they be considered to be in the room.

Zhao Ziyue can be regarded as a stable first-level topper, and Shen Lan can be regarded as an excellent person in the second-level at least.

A second-level top martial artist, coupled with excellent marksmanship, this comprehensive strength can be said to be very impressive.

And she doesn't let others use her as cannon fodder when she acts, but always takes the lead. When she was in pursuit, she and Duan Xi were at the front, and now at the risk of being shot cold, she rushed ahead of Duan Xi again.

Therefore, she was able to sit in the position of the head of the security department at a young age, not only because of the Shen family she belonged to, but also because of her own situation.

Of course, Duan Xi is not far behind, after all, letting a woman stand in front of him is somewhat useless. So the figures of the two staggered up and down, covering each other, and blocking the two fugitives in a narrow alley in just a few tens of seconds.

At the end of the alley is the Heishui River, which can be jumped on. But once they jumped into the river, the speed of swimming was as slow as death, and Shen Lan and Duan Xi were able to beat them into dead fish.

The two men hid in a battlement in the alley, cursing and threatening: "Don't come here, or you will be killed by random shots!" ”

The alley is so narrow that indiscriminate shooting, even if it is a ricocheting projectile, can form a deadly threat. So no matter which side it is, it doesn't dare to attack blatantly.

Duan Xi said with a smile: "Then let's spend it, it doesn't matter if we accompany us until dawn, I'm afraid you won't dare to wait." ”

This sentence obviously poked at the weakness of the other party.

One of the fugitives suddenly became angry and kicked the wooden door next to him. It's all old town shantytowns, and the old-fashioned wooden doors are installed, and the deadbolts inside can't withstand violent kicking.

Duan Xi was shocked: "Bastard, they want to take the residents in the small courtyard hostage!" ”

This is the most vicious after the unrecruited, and it is obviously too dangerous for ordinary residents.

Shen Lan also scolded, a little anxious. Duan Xi rushed over without saying a word, because the time was too urgent, and Shen Lan followed.

At that moment, there was a loud "click" from there, and the dilapidated wooden door was finally kicked open, and the two fugitives rushed in at the same time and went straight to the main house.

As for the yard that was forcibly broken into, the residents had already heard the sound of kicking the door just now. The man rushed out to see the situation, still carrying a stick in his hand. Inside the room there were the cries of children, and the sound of the hostess soothing the children.

As a result, as soon as the man went out, he encountered two fugitives, and was forcibly entered in the dark night, so he naturally picked up the stick and went on, and he was greeted by a fugitive's flying kick.

The stick fell to the ground, and the man fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

"Don't move! Cooperate honestly, or you will kill your whole family! The fugitive snorted coldly and pointed a gun at the man's head, who was suddenly frightened and motionless.

Another thug burst into the room and pulled the hostess out in a few moments. And in the arms of this trembling hostess, there was still a little girl of two or three years old.

At the same time, Duan Xi had already rushed to the door of this small courtyard without fear of death. But before he could enter, two fugitives took a family of three hostage and cautiously walked out.

"Go back, or I'll kill them!" The fugitives who held the women and children hostage shouted hoarsely.

"Calm down!" Duan Xi slowly retreated, "What kind of ability is it to hold women and children hostage." ”

"Shut up, don't step on the horse and talk nonsense, get back for me!" The fugitive roared, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was pressed against the woman's head, and the two or three-year-old girl was scared and cried.

Shen Lan also followed, and when she saw that the other party had kidnapped women and children, she obviously had no way to do it for a while.

"Put the gun down!" The fugitives roared.

But Duan Xi and Shen Lan didn't listen to each other this time. Laying down arms doesn't change the fact that citizens have been hijacked at all, so why put them down? Only with a weapon can you always maintain a certain threat.

So the two just retreated about ten meters, and at the same time comforted each other with words, hoping that the other party would stay calm.

At this time, one of the fugitives who kidnapped the male citizen suddenly said "huh". Because in the moonlight, he found that the appearance of the male sheriff who was chasing him was somewhat familiar.

No, this thing is not a sheriff, he is Duan Xi in a sheriff's uniform!

Of course, Duan Xi also recognized him, it was the gunman who fled after assassinating Chen Ange that night, and was playing cards on the Xia He just now.

"You're Duan Xi!" The man roared. Although Duan Xi's identity was not known on the night of the assassination of Chen Ange, he must have made some inquiries after escaping back.

Duan Xi was a little speechless, the fame of the heart Dao Lao Tzu was getting bigger and bigger, and the forces he provoked were also increasing.

"You're not a sheriff, you're part of our capture! Duan Xi, you are going to die when you step on a horse! ”

"If you are allowed to attack me with a gun in the middle of the night, I will not be allowed to cooperate with the sheriff in arresting you?"

The fugitive was speechless.

At this time, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and the sheriffs behind Shen Lan arrived. Although it is still helpless, at least the momentum has put tremendous pressure on the fugitives.

"Don't even come closer, I'll kill her!" The fugitive roared, and the muzzle of the gun was even pointed at the head of the two- or three-year-old girl.

As he spoke, the two dragged the hostages to the end of the alley, which was the edge of the Heishui River. It happened to be tied to a small wooden boat, as long as they could row to the other side of the Heishui River, it would be difficult for Shen Lan and them to chase after them.

It's just that the boat is too small and can only accommodate two people. The two fugitives then overthrew the hostage couple to the ground, and only took the two or three-year-old girl hostage and hurried onto the boat.

As long as the hostage strategy is effective, a child hostage is sufficient.

Therefore, Duan Xi and Shen Lan could only watch the two fugitives row away in the middle of the couple's sorrowful cry.

"Don't work far away, there will be a period later!" The fugitive who recognized Duan Xi sneered, "Duan Xi, we remember you!" ”

Duan Xi: "This benevolent brother, you attacked me last time, and I defended myself; As for today, I didn't hurt you, did I? It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them! ”

“……?” Shen Lan looked at the unprincipled guy beside him dumbfounded.

The fugitive did not refute it, nor did he bother to speak, but paddled desperately.

"Also, don't hurt the child!" Duan Xi shouted again.

The fugitive still did not respond, but the couple was already crying and grabbing the ground, and the man even jumped into the river with a puff to chase after him. Although the inhabitants of the Blackwater River are more water-savvy, it is still impossible to chase the boats.

At this moment, a string of motors sounded from far and near, and a speedboat came on the river!

Compared to the boats on the river, the iron speedboat was already a colossal beast with thick skin.

Above the speedboat were a dozen heavily armed soldiers — not sheriffs.

The sailor battalion of the Danjiang garrison!

Leading the way was a young officer who demanded that the fugitives be arrested.

The two fugitives were visibly frightened, and rowed even more desperately, seeing that they were about to reach the shore.

As a result, more than a dozen guns on the speedboat opened fire at the same time.

"Ceasefire, stop! They have hostages in their hands, and they're still dolls! Duan Xi roared on the other side of the river.

And the girl's mother fainted in fright.

But the soldiers of the sailor battalion may not be able to hear the gunfire, so the fire continues to be suppressed until the screams of a bullet are heard from the boat.
