Chapter 48

The flashing police lights cut through the dark night, and several armored personnel carriers tore the rustling evening breeze and rushed past a main road in the center of Q City.

The man in the black special police uniform in the commander's car looked sharp and his voice was low.

"Command, what's the situation on the scene?"

"In the hospital of Q City People's Hospital, a suspect took a hostage with a pistol and a sharp weapon, and coerced another hostage to stay in the electrocardiogram room in the ECG room. The light source has been turned off in the electrocardiogram room and the curtains are closed, so the suspect's location cannot be locked. The suspect is a member of a major online fraud gang that the municipal bureau has cracked before being cracked. Due to the fluid separation before the jail, the municipal bureau's criminal police detachment is currently allocated and cannot provide police support."

"Is the suspect's identity confirmed?"

"According to the on-site investigation, his identity is suspected to be a substitute for the impersonation and cannot be determined for the time being."

"When received it, the situation is basically clear. The specific plan will be reported after arriving at the site."

“…”

Close the intercom, the man raised his eyes, his eyes were dark and sharp, and he glanced around the command car, "Do you understand the situation?"

"The Qi team, the Criminal Police Detachment cannot provide police support. Is it just that our Second Special Police Squadron is circumventing the suspects?"

"Yeah." Qi Chen responded calmly and looked down at the 3D building map of the hospital sent by the command center. "The first squadron is responsible for sniping and has set up sniping points outside the hospital. However, according to the architectural composition, the windows of Room 1 of the suspect and the two hostages were located in a narrow window, and the curtains were closed and the light source was closed, making it more difficult to implement sniping."

The man reached out to lightly turn the 3D model of the hospital building on the screen, and then frowned. "The suspect has strong anti-reconnaissance ability. According to the situation on the scene, the second hostage with relatively free movement was asked to stand in front of the window and use indoor landlines instead of the suspect to talk to the negotiating expert; whether it is chosen to snipe or break into the outdoors, it is very likely to hurt the personal safety of the second hostage."

"Captain Qi, then do we have to force the intrusion indoors?"

"At present, I don't know enough about the specific locations of the suspect and the hostage number one held. Forcibly entering cannot guarantee the safety of the hostage's life... I will make a judgment when I go to the scene."

"yes."

A few minutes later, the armored personnel carrier stopped outside the Q City People's Hospital. The door opened. All the members of the Second Squadron of the Special Police Detachment lined up and got off the car in the eyes of the onlookers who were blocked outside, and carried guns to guard the car.

Qi Chen met with Huan Ceyun, the captain of the first squadron who had arrived at the scene first.

"What is the specific situation? Is there any progress in the negotiation?"

Huan Ceyun frowned and shook his head, "The criminal is very cunning and scheming. It can be seen that he has been planning for a long time. I suspect he should be a serious prisoner who will be sentenced to a serious sentence - after the previous fraud gang was arrested, he concealed his identity and pretended to be a member of the ordinary gang; then he waited for an opportunity to rise during the physical examination and tried to escape the French Open."

"Has he made a request?"

"Not yet. The biggest problem at the moment is the lack of police force. Because of this major online fraud case, all police forces were withdrawn. At present, the only two squadrons of your and my teams can be called in a relatively recent range. The suspect is in the hospital and has obtained the guns of the criminal police who was responsible for detaining him. Many patients in the upper floor ward cannot be effectively evacuated - it can be said that the rounding up can be said to be very difficult."

Qi Chen asked: "How is the observation at the sniper point?"

"It is extremely difficult to carry out sniping," Huan Ceyun smiled bitterly, "I said, the criminal is very cunning - from beginning to end, he never showed his face within the visible range of the window. Moreover, the curtains are in a state of pulling and the light source in the house has been turned off, so we can only blur the figure of the second hostage standing at the window."

Qi Chen frowned his eyebrows, and his already deep and three-dimensional facial features looked a little more sharp.

While the two were silent, the people from the negotiation team ran over quickly—

"Captain Qi, Huan, the suspect has made a request!"

When Huan Ceyun heard this, his eyes lit up. When a criminal suspect could make a request, whether it was a car or a money, he almost gave them the opportunity to set up an ambush or trap them.

"Speak quickly, what requests he made!"

"Well... the suspect, he asked for food and water. - Also, he asked the hostage number two to come out to collect food and water, and emphasized that the hostage number two must be sent back within ten minutes, otherwise he would kill the hostage number one immediately and commit suicide."

"..." Huan Ceyun's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He turned his head to Qi Chen, who also had a serious look, "It's indeed a tricky guy."

Qi Chen was silent for a moment and asked, "What does the command center mean?"

"The command center proposed to agree to the suspect's request, soothe his emotions, and incorporate calming drugs into the food. As for the rescue operation, the two captains will arrange it based on the on-site situation."

"Okay, let's make a plan; the second hostage will need to cooperate with the action later, so you can delay and reserve time for us to make a plan."

"Can."

"Wait," Qi Chen shouted calmly at the people in the negotiation team, "How is the hostage now? Especially the emotional state - if the second hostage needs to cooperate to return later, it is very important to stabilize the hostage mood."

Speaking of this, the person in the negotiation team had a complicated expression. "According to the information of the hospital's internal staff, the two hostages were interns in the hospital, about twenty-two years old, and both were girls. Among them, the state of the hostage number one was very unstable and had signs of collapse; Fortunately, the hostage number two was relatively calm, but..."

When the other party mentioned "twenty-two years old", Qi Chen's eyes were dazed and did not immediately follow the other party's words.

Huan Ceyun heard the twist and frowned and asked, "But what?"

The person in the negotiation team was a little hesitant: "Although the second hostage is now in a stable mood, she is just a 22-year-old female student who has just graduated from college and has not received any systematic physiological and psychological training. The reason why our negotiating team did not immediately agree to the suspect's conditions before was because we were very worried about the status of the second hostage."

Huan Ceyun thought for a while and said with some clarity: "Are you worried that she refused to return to the room where the suspect and the hostage number one were after she came out?"

The person in the negotiation team sighed, "It's not our concern, it's almost a certain fact. If it were any ordinary person, at this time, he would probably not be able to make the choice to return to the indoors next to the suspect."

"What should I do?" Huan Ceyun, who has been through many battles, was also at a loss for such completely subjective factors. "If the hostage No. 2 disagrees and asks her to enter, it may be counterproductive to implement our plan."

Qi Chen raised his eyes, "Can you change to other plainclothes police officers?"

The people from the negotiating team smiled bitterly: "How could we not have imagined this? Our team leader asked to personally disarm and enter, but the suspect said that within ten minutes, as long as the person who returned was not the second hostage, he would immediately kill the first hostage and commit suicide."

"...Damn it." Huan Ceyun cursed viciously.

“…”

Qi Chen didn't say anything or respond, and stared at the people in the negotiation team with a faint look.

The man in the negotiation team was so furious that Qi Chen saw that he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, "Captain Qi...you, why are you staring at me like this?"

Qi Chen looked coldly, "You come here not just to report the situation, right?"

"...ah?" Huan Ceyun was stunned for a moment, looked at this one in confusion, and then turned to look at another.

After two seconds, he suddenly reacted and looked at the person who looked a little embarrassed with a strange expression, "Cough... Isn't it? Your negotiation team is going to borrow our team again?... Last month, the female student in college was going to commit suicide. Didn't you all forcefully borrow our team once? And this situation is not the kind of female student who is impulsive and makes a fuss, it's a matter of life..."

The negotiating team was helpless: "This is a psychological tactic, it is definitely an effective stimulation... Isn't this the people in our negotiating team not as good as the Changqi team..."

The man's words became less and less, and he could hardly speak in Qi Chen's eyes that made people feel cold behind him.

Huan Ceyun nodded beside him, "That's right. The 22-year-old female student... Captain Qi, you 'sacrifice' and help the negotiation team. The hostage number two is definitely the top priority."

Qi Chen lowered his eyes and said coldly: "I will not help you persuade any ordinary citizen who has no such obligation to risk his life to enter the threat range of the suspect...you can find a way to solve it yourself."

"..." The person from the negotiation team looked at Huan Ceyun for help. Huan Ceyun sighed, "Captain Qi is right, I can't do such a thing if I did."

"...I deserve the nightmare of our negotiating team." The man couldn't help but turned around and ran back to ask their team leader for help.

After a while, the leader of the negotiation team came over in person, "Captain Qi, I don't need you to say anything. I just need to let her know that you are one of the rescuers. Whether it is useful or not, we must at least try it, otherwise two girls in the room who are only twenty-two years old will die."

“…”

Qi Chen's eyes flashed, and he finally nodded and agreed.

A few minutes later, the negotiation team completed the negotiation with the suspect and agreed to the other party's request for food and water and the pick-up and delivery of the hostage number two.

Qi Chen and Huan Ceyun are making final plans and deployments.

"Okay, I will confirm the plan for the last time, and I will remember that everyone obeys the command - we cannot make any mistakes, because your mistakes may cost the hostage's life."

Huan Ceyun emphasized to the members of the special police who were surrounded, "We are divided into three teams. The first team is responsible for forcibly breaking in the indoor direction, and with the hostage number two, returning to the corridor where the suspect is located, waiting for an opportunity to break in, aiming to protect the hostage number two and attract the attention of the suspect; the second team adopts forcibly breaking in the outdoor direction, with the main goal of dealing with obstacles, disarming the suspect as much as possible, and destroying his combat effectiveness; the third team prepares for sniping at sniper points everywhere - are they all clear!"

"clear!"

"Captain Qi, the hostage number two has come down, and the negotiation team calls you to come over."

"Um."

Qi Chen responded, and fisted Huan Ceyun and walked towards the negotiation area.

With a few meters left, his eyes fell on the female intern doctor who was surrounded by the negotiating team.

The other party didn't look up.

But after watching for a few seconds, Qi Chen's body stopped abruptly.
