After the gunshots rang out, the members of the Security Service were also informed.

After the Security Bureau had fenced off the Marriott Hotel, in the Executive Lounge on the 29th floor, Benrad had already controlled the situation inside.

Moreover, at the moment he has dozens of hostages on his hands!

Edward's expression was very solemn when he heard this, and his mind was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

"It looks like the deal has already begun, and they're threatening them with hostages."

"That's it...... Are they crazy? ”

"The more noise there is, the harder it will be for them to escape!"

Edward had difficulty understanding the logic of these guys, but the current situation was not optimistic.

Just as he was thinking about it, Toby next to him let out an exclamation:

"Boss, the monitoring is basically back to normal."

"Someone temporarily cut off the communication signal, resulting in the inability to transmit the screen information synchronously, but now it is possible."

"It's just ......"

"The surveillance footage of the twenty-ninth floor still cannot be retrieved, and it may be that the monitoring equipment has been destroyed."

Edward looked at the monitoring equipment that had suddenly recovered, was silent for a moment, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Group A and Group B are on standby." ”

"Groups C and D are preparing to evacuate the crowd inside the hotel."

"They only occupied the twenty-ninth floor, and evacuated the rest of the building first."

However, just then, Edward's phone rang.

The call at this juncture made the eyes of all the police officers in the room look at Edward.

Edward pulled out his phone, looked at the prompt on it, and paused for two seconds.

"I don't know this number, but it's my personal number."

"Boss, it could be him."

Edward nodded solemnly, pressed the speakerphone, and then connected the phone.

"Sir Edward, and all the sirs present, hello."

"Greetings to all of you at the gates of heaven in Benraddai."

A warm-sounding voice came from the phone.

Edward frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

Hearing Edward's words, Benrad chuckled twice, and then spoke:

"What I want to do is simple, but, until then, I want Chief Edward to get your men out of the hotel."

"Otherwise, this simple matter is likely to become complicated."

"Right now, I have about fifty hostages on my hands, give you ten minutes."

"Ten minutes later, if I find someone from the Security Service on surveillance, I'll kill a hostage instead."

Edward spoke again: "All you want is for the transaction to be completed smoothly, why should ordinary people be involved?" ”

Benrad laughed maniacally: "We're not conservatives who only know how to trade. ”

"Do as I say, and you should know that many of these hostages have a good identity and status."

Hearing this cold, frantic voice made Edward feel troubled once again.

Before I could say anything, there was already a busy tone on the phone.

Edward rubbed his temples.

Yesterday he had been working on the plane crash and the Statue of Liberty, and he had been sleeping almost all night, and by now, he was starting to have some headaches.

"There are less than ten minutes left."

"Get people out and evacuate as many people as possible."

"And, reach out to our negotiators and wait for them to ask."

"Also, re-examine the monitoring that was previously cut off and see how these people came from!"

"It's all arranged." Toby also looked serious.

"Boss, there is no monitoring in the fire escape at the moment, if we let our people hide in the fire escape, we should be able to avoid detection."

"Without the monitoring data of the 29th floor, it is difficult to know what the situation is on it."

Edward nodded deeply: "That's right, this information gap will keep us at a disadvantage. ”

As he spoke, Edward suddenly remembered something: "By the way, coordinate the dispatch of snipers to the adjacent World Trade Center." At the height of the World Trade Center, the view of the Marriott Hotel should be unobstructed. ”

"No, Boss, the executive lounge doesn't have external windows, his privacy is high, it's an internal space."

Edward also understood in his heart why these people would choose to be in a place like the Executive Lounge.

Toby hesitated for a moment, then said, "Boss, I'm applying to enter through the fire escape and go up to investigate." ”

"Huh?" Edward was stunned.

"Are you sure?"

Toby confessed, "No, but someone always needs to see the situation above." ”

"No, it's too dangerous. Now that the elevator stopped on the 29th floor has been cut off, the fire escape on the upper floor is likely to have been occupied by their people. ”

"Besides...... With the location of the fire escape, it is difficult to know exactly what is going on inside the Executive Lounge. ”

On the 29th floor, there is still a considerable distance between the fire escape and the executive lounge.

"That's why we have the opportunity." Toby insisted.

Edward saw Toby's thoughts.

All along, Toby was a man who rushed to get up for credit.

But at this moment, Edward did not agree immediately.

There is an unknown risk on it, it is very likely to be a lifetime, and more importantly, if it is discovered, it is very likely to make these people angry, in case they do some crazy things, it will be worse.

Of course, if we look at it from another angle, in this case, the success rate of reconnaissance in individual combat will indeed be higher.

But just as Edward was about to say something, Toby had already stood up from his surveillance position and beckoned the assistant next to him to take his place.

As for himself, he has already begun to configure his equipment, and apparently, he is ready to go.

"Okay, stay safe."

Edward patted Toby on the shoulder, but finally agreed to Toby's action and pulled out the walkie-talkie.

"The members of Group A and Group B are on standby at any time when they enter the fire escapes on both sides."

Toby got ready, opened the door, and walked out into the hallway.

It is worth mentioning that in the corridors of this floor, the communication signals of the monitoring equipment have been controlled by the personnel of the Security Bureau.

Even though Toby entered the hallway, he didn't attract anyone's attention.

Soon, he entered the fire escape, three steps and two steps along, to reconnoiter that the fire escape was not occupied, and soon, Toby had already arrived at the door of the twenty-ninth floor fire escape.

At this time, Toby's surveillance equipment had been turned on, and it was a relatively small law enforcement recorder, which was hung in front of Toby.

"The signal has been received."

In Toby's headset, there was positive news from the technician.

After receiving the confirmation, Toby cautiously made his way to the side of the gate.

The cold gate stood right in front of Toby's eyes.
