Chapter 9: The kid who shouted outside had followed me before!
"Old man, please come with me!"
Zhao Ming walked up to the old man who was over seventy years old and spoke in a calm tone.
Because he was worried that he would scare the old man out of something, Zhao Ming also deliberately restrained his anger.
Make yourself as gentle as possible.
According to Zhao Ming's expectations, this old man should not be willing to cooperate with him.
After all.
At this time, everyone in the bank should also understand what kind of fate they will face if they are taken out.
There's no one who doesn't want to live.
And as many people get older, their fear of death deepens.
But.
To Zhao Ming's surprise, after his words fell, the old man with gray temples did not hesitate too much, and stood up resolutely.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
"They are all still young, it is very cost-effective to exchange my old man's life for them!"
The old man stood up and spoke in a calm tone.
There wasn't much emotion in his old eyes.
The somewhat rickety back, against the light, fell on the eyes of the hostages, giving people a kind of heroism to die generously.
Time.
Several of the hostages were a little moved.
Several of the female bank employees even had tears in their eyes.
Apparently.
The old man's actions and words still moved them very much.
Merely.
None of the hostages came forward and was willing to replace the old man with himself.
It's not that people are indifferent.
The main reason is that the people present basically have families, both old and young, and they pay their lives to be heroes, which is really too expensive.
"Old man, Gao Yi!"
"I, as a person, admire a righteous person like you."
"Seeing that you are extraordinary, I am a little curious about what you used to do?"
Zhao Ming gave a thumbs up to the old man standing in front of him, and spoke with admiration.
The actions of the old man in front of him, as well as his words, really made Zhao Ming a little admired.
Life and death are downplayed.
This is really not easy for ordinary people to do.
Meantime.
Although this old man's figure is a little rickety, the momentum around his body gives people an extremely decent feeling.
Therefore, Zhao Ming was also interested in the old man's previous identity.
"Me?"
"Before I retired, I was in the escort team, and I have been an old criminal investigator for more than 30 years!"
"The kid who shouted outside has followed me before!"
In the face of Zhao Ming's question, the old man did not have the slightest intention of avoiding it.
With a chuckle, he spoke proudly.
Hearing this, everyone present had shocked expressions on their faces.
Zhao Ming was also slightly surprised, and in addition to being surprised, a smile appeared on his face.
This is ...... It's interesting.
I didn't expect that among the hostages I hijacked, there was also the master of the commander-in-chief of the escort team for this exercise?
If I take him out, I'll kill him in front of the commander-in-chief outside.
This works...... Surprisingly good for sure!
"Old man, please!"
Zhao Ming looked at the old man in front of him and made a gesture of please.
The old man was not lazy, and with a calm expression, he walked towards the gate of the bank without hurrying.
……
Meanwhile.
Outside the bank on the square.
The captain was still waiting with a megaphone.
It's been a while since I shouted, but there has been no movement from the bank.
Raised his wrist and looked at the time.
The captain couldn't help but frown slightly.
Could it be that the robbers want to refuse to negotiate?
The reluctance of robbers to negotiate is not unusual.
It's just that the negotiation step doesn't work, and the escort team will have to think of other ways to calm the robbers' emotions.
And just as the captain picked up the megaphone and was about to try to shout again, there was a noise at the gate of the bank.
"Click......"
Accompanied by a dull sound of goal grinding.
The bank's electric roller shutter door was raised.
Two figures also appeared in the captain's sight.
And looking at the slightly clumsy figure in front of him, the captain's eyes instantly widened with a shocked expression.
"Master?"
Apparently.
The robber appeared with his master, who had been in the criminal investigation brigade.
This was beyond the captain's expectations.
Although he had previously determined the number of hostages through the internal surveillance footage of the bank connected to the technical department.
But the quality of the surveillance screen is really a little unclear.
Without magnification, you can't see your face clearly, and naturally you don't recognize it.
At this time, it was naturally quite shocking to see it clearly.
"Commander-in-chief, huh?"
"I don't know why you are using this broken horn and shouting to call me out?"
Just when the captain had a shocked expression on his face.
Zhao Ming's cold voice, who was standing behind the old man, rang out.
Zhao Ming's voice was not small, and his tone was cold, giving people a feeling of anger.
And hearing Zhao Ming's words, the captain also quickly came back to his senses.
He took a deep breath and returned to a serious expression on his face.
"I'm here to negotiate, and I don't have any weapons on me!"
"Don't worry, there are no snipers around, you're safe now!"
"I know you have hostages in your hands, as long as you don't hurt the hostages, you can ask me anything, and we will do our best to satisfy you!"
The captain spoke in a loud voice, although he did not use a megaphone, but the majestic voice was enough to reach Zhao Ming's ears.
After the voice fell.
He half-raised his hands and stood in place for a circle, allowing Zhao Ming to be sure that he had indeed come with no weapons.
Hearing the captain's words, Zhao Ming did not respond.
He just stood behind the old man, calmly raised the gun in his hand, and aimed it at the back of the old man's head.
"Old man, you have to be a little mentally prepared, don't scare you when I shoot later!"
Zhao Ming spoke in a low voice that only he and the old man in front of him could hear.
After all, this is just a drill, and he is not a real bandit.
Therefore.
It is still necessary for Zhao Ming to say hello to the old man in front of him who is over seventy years old, otherwise something will scare him when the gunshots go out, and he will be held responsible.
"Haha...... Young man, when my old man was young, it was commonplace to shoot real guns. ”
"Although I say I'm old now, it's not that you're scared by a gun with empty cartridges!"
"You're doing a drill, aren't you?"
"Shoot later, my old man will cooperate with you!"
After listening to Zhao Ming's reminder, the old man laughed twice at the moment, and then spoke very kindly.
His tone was extremely firm, obviously not speculation.
It's about being able to be sure that what you're experiencing is a drill.
Hear the words.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
After taking control of the bank himself, he only fired one shot in total.
But just this shot, the old man in front of him could detect that the gun in his hand was only empty.
This ability to observe is really admirable.
is really worthy of being an old criminal investigator who has worked all his life, and he still has such a ability after retirement.
