Among the banks.

Zhao Ming hung up the voice call, and casually put the mobile phone in a bag of combat uniform.

Then he turned to look at the hostage seat.

Zhao Ming's voice on the phone just now was not too loud.

But because the bank was quiet, everyone heard his words about releasing the hostages.

At this time, Zhao Ming's eyes looked over, and all the hostages had expectant expressions on their faces.

I look forward to being chosen and being a hostage to be released.

"You!"

"And you!"

"You two stand up."

Zhao Ming glanced around the hostage seat, and then selected two people from the crowd of hostages.

The faces of the two men who were pointed out were full of smiles that could not be concealed.

And the rest of the hostages, including Shu Ruochu, were all disappointed.

Although after Zhao Ming hung up the phone, he didn't even glance at it from his side.

And Shu Ruochu also knew very well in his heart that if the robbers wanted to release the hostages, there was a high probability that they would not choose to release themselves.

Merely.

Shu Ruochu still had a trace of expectation in his heart.

Maybe the robbers suddenly found out on their conscience?

If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment.

But once there is hope, even if it is only a little bit of hope.

When the results were announced, Shu Ruochu couldn't help but be disappointed.

"You!"

Just when Shu Ruochu was full of disappointment.

Zhao Ming suddenly looked back at him and spoke with a calm face.

Looked at.

Shu Ruochu immediately came to his senses, and there was irrepressible joy on the delicate face under the hood.

Before Zhao Ming's words were finished, she quickly stood up.

"You send them both to the door, open the door and let them go."

"Make sure you hand them over safely to the guards outside, and you'll be back."

Zhao Ming spoke in a calm tone and gave Shu Ruochu an order.

Hearing this, Shu Ruochu was stunned.

Come back?

What does robber mean by this?

Isn't he ready to let himself go?

"Any questions?"

looked at Shu Ruochu stunned in place, and did not move.

At that moment, Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and asked with a little doubt.

"I didn't ...... There is no ......"

Shu Ruochu frowned slightly, and replied timidly.

Then he took a deep breath.

According to Zhao Ming's request, he and the two selected hostages walked towards the gate of the bank.

……

Meanwhile.

Outside the bank gates.

The captain of the criminal investigation detachment was standing in the heavy rain, waiting quietly.

Dense raindrops hit the raincoat with a crackling noise.

"Click......"

A moment later.

The dull rattle of the motor is heard.

The bank's motorized roller shutter slowly opens.

The squad leader's face was solemn, and he stared at the slowly rising gate with a frown.

Let's be honest.

At this time, the team leader was still a little nervous.

After all.

Zhao Ming is a tyrannical, ruthless, and extremely disobedient person.

The captain had come to the bank gate twice before to negotiate.

The first time, before he could say a few words, Zhao Ming directly shot a hostage in front of the captain.

And the second time, without even speaking, Zhao Ming opened the door and threw out a grenade.

Therefore.

Now come over and take the hostages yourself.

As for whether Zhao Ming will engage in some means that do not emphasize martial virtues, the team leader also beat a drum in his heart.

It was at this time.

With the rise of the roller shutter door.

Two hostage figures standing behind the door also appeared in the squad leader's line of sight.

And on the wall behind the two hostages, Shu Ruochu, who was wearing a hood, was reaching out and pressing the switch to open the roller shutter door.

Seeing this, the team leader couldn't help frowning.

After all.

Judging from the information obtained by the escort team before, this woman with a hood should be a hostage.

Why did it turn out to be her at this time?

"Headquarters, see the hostages!"

"But it's not the robbers who gave the hostages."

"It's the hostage we saw on the surveillance screen before, who is suspected to be an accomplice of the robbers."

The squad leader's eyebrows were furrowed.

Although he was quite puzzled in his heart, he still maintained a calm expression on his face.

He spoke quietly, and reported the situation to the captain in the temporary command room through the headset on his ear.

……

in the temporary command room.

The captain sat down at the table with a solemn face.

Listening to the debriefing sound from the headset, he took a slight breath.

"Roger!"

He calmly responded to the team leader through the headset.

Then he grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table.

"Falcon, falcon!"

"The robbers did not show up, the sniper operation was canceled!"

The captain pressed the talking button on the walkie-talkie, and his tone was quite calm.

After the captain of the criminal investigation detachment came out of the temporary command room.

The captain immediately contacted the sniper who was still waiting on the roof of the building opposite the bank.

Let them observe the situation at the bank gate at any time, waiting for instructions from their side.

This can only be regarded as an idle move.

After all.

Robbers are smart and are not very likely to swagger and expose themselves.

But after all, there are still certain opportunities.

Therefore, the captain still has a certain hope.

Who knows.

The robber didn't even show his face.

"Roger!"

As soon as the captain's words fell, the sniper's response quickly sounded on the walkie-talkie.

Hearing the response, the captain put the walkie-talkie in his hand back on the table.

Then he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples with his eyes closed.

"Robbers are really cautious!"

In the slightly disappointed gaze of several squad leaders.

The captain muttered to himself.

I have to say.

Even if it is a real battle, the captain has not encountered such a headache opponent as Zhao Ming for a long time.

This guy is really a high-IQ criminal!

……

At the entrance of the bank.

The door opened to the height of a man and stopped.

Those two hostages did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Ignoring the pouring rain, he quickly ran towards the team leader here.

Shu Ruochu stood at the door.

Looking at the backs of the two hostages, he secretly swallowed his saliva.

Now the door of the bank is open, and I am standing at the door.

It's just one step away from freedom!

At this time, Shu Ruochu had an urge to rush out quickly.

But.

This thought was quickly overcome by reason.

There was still a remote-controlled bomb wrapped around his arm, and the remote-controlled bomb was still in Zhao Ming's hand.

Zhao Ming said that the signal range of the remote control is 200 meters in a straight line.

If he runs out now, no matter how fast he is, it is impossible to run a distance of two hundred meters before Zhao Ming reacts.

Therefore, he had no hope of escaping at all.

"Hoo ......"

Let out a long breath of cloudy air.

Shu Ruochu still gritted his teeth and pressed the button to close the door.

With a clattering sound, the bank's roller shutter door slowly fell again.

And at this time.

The team leader also glanced at Shu Ruochu.

Naturally, she also noticed the remote-controlled bomb wrapped around her arm......
