Temporary command room.

The captain rubbed his temples and opened his eyes.

Raise the watch on your wrist and look at the time.

The expression on his face was still solemn.

At this moment, a team leader walked in briskly from outside the RV.

He was holding a phone with the screen just locked, apparently just finished making a call.

"Corps, I've contacted Lao Zhao from the Technology Department."

"He's got everything ready, and he'll be back in about three minutes."

Putting the phone in his pocket, the squad leader looked at the captain and reported.

Just now, after the captain arranged for the captain of the criminal investigation detachment to pick up people, and let the snipers be on standby.

He was sent out to contact the head of the technical department.

At this point, the matter was finally done.

"Good!"

Hearing this report, the captain nodded and responded casually.

There were now more than seven minutes left before the ten minutes demanded by the robbers.

As long as the leader of the technical department can bring what the robbers have asked for, he can rush back within seven minutes.

"Headquarters, the sniper didn't succeed?"

The squad leader looked at the expressions of the captain and the rest of the squad leaders.

Only then did he ask tentatively.

In fact.

Looking at the atmosphere in the makeshift command room, he could already guess the answer to this question.

"The robbers didn't show up."

"That's to be expected, after all, he's a cautious and smart man."

"It would have been a surprise if he hadn't even guessed that we were going to have snipers."

The captain took a sip of tea from the cup on the table, and then responded with a calm face.

This remark smacks of self-comfort.

Hearing this, the squad leader also frowned and nodded.

He didn't say anything more, just quietly returned to his stool and sat down.

Silence returned to the makeshift command room.

The exercise has been carried out so far.

There was a lot of pressure on the hearts of all the people in the convoy.

Therefore, the leadership in the temporary command room was almost always frowning and solemn.

The psychological pressure is really not small.

And that is, after a moment of silence in the atmosphere in the makeshift command room.

The leader of the criminal investigation detachment wearing a raincoat walked in quickly.

"Headquarters, the hostages are back!"

As soon as you enter the door.

He watched as the captain eagerly opened his mouth to report the situation.

Hearing the news, the captain and several other squad leaders also hurriedly stood up.

"Now the hostages are placed in a canopy next to them."

"It's a female employee in two banks, and because the hostages are not emotionally stable, I arranged for two female comrades to calm them down and ask about the situation in the bank at the same time."

The squad leader of the criminal investigation detachment continued to speak.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

The captain nodded, and as he spoke, he quickly walked towards the temporary command room.

The robbers were most likely ready to leave the bank after seven minutes.

So time is of the essence.

Naturally, I can't wait for the inquiry record over there to be sent.

If you want to know about the situation in the bank through the mouth of the hostage, the most time-saving way is to go to the site of the inquiry.

……

Among the banks.

After Shu Ruochu closed the bank door, he quietly returned to his previous position and sat down.

At this point, she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.

Knowing that there was no way to escape from the robbers' control, he completely gave up the idea of escaping.

And when Zhao Ming saw this, an unconscious smile appeared on his face.

The fact that he was forced to become his accomplice was a disaster for Shu Ruochu.

After the drill was over, it seemed that I really needed to apologize to her.

But.

For Shu Ruochu, this matter is almost over.

Zhao Ming looked up at the clock on the wall.

That's when he stood up.

His gaze swept over the hostage seat again.

At this time, there were seven hostages left in the bank.

In addition to Shu Ruochu and the photographer, there were five people sitting on the hostage seat.

"You, you ......"

"And you!"

Zhao Ming paced in front of the hostage seat, and stretched out his hand to point at several hostages as he spoke.

Three of the five hostages were selected.

Then he looked back at the photographer sitting next to the camera.

"Come here."

"Change these clothes!"

After Zhao Ming selected four people, he walked to the place where the combat uniforms of the raid team were stacked.

Then he commanded a few of the hostages.

The four hostages he selected were all about the same size and height.

After putting on the combat uniform, there is basically no big difference from a distance.

A total of six sets of combat uniforms were seized from the raiding team.

Zhao Ming wore a set himself, one for each of the four hostages.

After several hostages changed into combat uniforms, Zhao Ming took the rest of the set and came to Shu Ruochu.

"You change your clothes too!"

Putting the clothes on the floor, Zhao Ming calmly opened his mouth and commanded.

After speaking, he no longer cared about Shu Ruochu.

Pick up the mobile phone in the bag next to him again, and contact the captain through the voice call of the chat software.

……

Outside Bank Square.

in the area where the convoy is located.

The captain and several squad leaders were under the canopy, quietly listening to the questioning of the hostages by the two female escort members.

Hearing the mobile phone ringing, the captain hurriedly took it out and took a look.

Seeing that it was the robbers calling, he frowned slightly.

Signaling slightly to the team leader next to him, he was ready to find a quiet place to answer the phone, leaving a few team leaders to keep an eye on the situation here.

"Hello?"

Back to the temporary command room.

The captain immediately connected the phone and spoke in a deep voice.

"There are three minutes left, you should be almost ready, right?"

"Put the gold on top of the minibus and park it in front of the bank three minutes later."

"I'll leave in a minibus with four hostages later."

"I don't want to see any convoy vehicles following me, or none of these hostages will survive."

"I warn you that you'd better not play any tricks!"

Zhao Ming's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and in the cold words, there was a threat.

This time, Zhao Ming didn't wait for him to speak, and after the voice fell, he hung up the phone directly.

Faced with such a situation.

For a moment, the captain's eyebrows were locked a little deeper.

The team leader of the technical department has returned, and everything the robbers have asked for is indeed ready.

It starts with the robbers making a request.

The captain always felt that the robbers should just want to escape by taking hostages in a minibus.

Merely.

From the questioning of the hostages just now.

The captain was given several key pieces of information.

This made him can't help but shake the idea!

That is, the robbers seem to have hidden the five million stolen money from the bank in the bank toilet!

He asked for ten kilograms of gold to be prepared on the minibus.

If he wants to give up the five million stolen money, then why hide it?

Wouldn't it be enough to just put it in the bank lobby?

After all.

After he leaves, the escort team will definitely enter the bank to clean the battlefield as soon as possible.

Isn't this step of hiding stolen money redundant?
