Seeing that the scene was getting bigger and bigger, and many people on both sides of the war had their hands and feet broken, or even blown to pieces, Zhang Pin simply opened the door and walked out of the escort vehicle.
Then he put on his ID and strode forward.
"Sir Zhang is here!"
One end of the Cross-Central Tunnel is in Kowloon, and the other end is in Hung Hom. Hung Hom falls under the jurisdiction of Wan Chai, so after the accident, the guys from Wan Chai Police Station were the first to arrive here.
Seeing Zhang Pin's appearance, many police officers were immediately excited.
"what's the situation?"
After Zhang Pin saw the police officers at the scene, he immediately understood that this group of people was not here to rob the cash transport truck.
"We don't know the specific person yet, but we suspect it may be a terrorist attack brought about by business competition."
Upon hearing Zhang Pin's appearance, Song Zijie rushed over to report the situation to him immediately.
"Business competition, it seems they want to grab more than 10 billion."
After hearing Song Zijie's words, Zhang Pin immediately knew that these guys were still robbing in essence, but the money they wanted to rob was more than 10 billion.
"Have you found out what's going on with the Western Harbor Crossing?"
Since the terrorists inside asked the authorities to buy back the shares of the Western Harbor Crossing, Zhang Pinyi's target of suspicion was naturally on several shareholders of the Western Harbor Crossing.
Due to the special terrain of Hong Kong Island and the need to protect against typhoons near the sea, several undersea tunnels have been built.
But when it comes to the most profitable one, it has to be the Red Cross Tunnel.
Firstly, because the Cross-Central Tunnel was built early, the originally remote environment has now become very prosperous.
In addition, the original construction cost was not high, but now, except for maintenance costs, it is pure profit.
Unlike other undersea tunnels, Hong Kong Island has not developed new land for many years, so the locations of other tunnels are relatively remote.
In addition, as Hong Kong Island's real estate has become more prosperous in recent years, construction costs have been rising. As a livelihood project, the charges for the undersea tunnel cannot be too high, because there are a large number of ferries in Victoria Harbor that are also competing with the tunnel for business.
.
Although it is definitely impossible to make a loss on a project like the Undersea Tunnel, there is still a payback cycle.
For things like capital, sometimes they are willing to spend several years, ten or even decades to repay their capital and then make a profit.
However, there is also a part of the capital that is not willing to wait for an hour or even a minute a day, wishing that they would have already made a profit before the money was invested.
Zhang Pin has also heard about the situation of the Western Harbor Crossing. Generally, people who work on this kind of project are already prepared to make a return on their investment in the long term.
But now that Hong Kong Island is about to change its owner, and the immigration wave on Hong Kong Island is booming, there may be some people who are not willing to wait any longer.
"We have sent people to control it, but there is no evidence yet."
Regarding Zhang Pin's reminder, Wan Chai Police Department naturally guessed in advance.
However, Hong Kong Island is a legal place, and it is obviously impossible to rely on mere speculation as evidence.
"What was the situation in the fight just now?"
Zhang Pin did not speculate too much on the issue of the person behind the scenes.
After all, the reason why guesses cannot be used as evidence is that guesses are not facts, and some things are really different from guesses.
As a law enforcement officer, Zhang Pin naturally believes in evidence more.
"It's like this. There happened to be two maintenance personnel in the tunnel today. They sneaked out while the criminals inside were not paying attention. We fought with them to cover their retreat."
"Has anyone been rescued?"
Hearing that someone had been rescued inside, Zhang Pin was a little curious about what was going on inside.
Because the Red Cross Tunnel is almost two kilometers long, and looking at the current situation, there are thousands of people trapped inside.
If there were only a few criminals, I might not be able to control so many people.
After all, they not only have to control the people in the tunnel, they also have to guard against police officers on both sides who may attack.
"Everyone has been rescued. Please listen to the situation inside. I heard that Sir Chen has been arranged to be the on-site commander of this operation, but no one else has arrived yet."
"Go over and ask about the situation."
Zhang Pin was not surprised that Wan Chai police were able to rescue the hostages.
As early as when he led the Wan Chai Police Department's Crime Division and Anti-Gangster Division, he had already upgraded the equipment of the two departments.
In addition, they have experienced many major and important cases over the years. In comparison, ordinary criminals do not have as much practical experience as they do.
"There were at least a hundred people inside, people everywhere, and every one of them had a gun."
"They killed everyone they saw and placed a lot of explosives on cars and walls."
The two maintenance personnel who managed to escape were very excited, and the news they gave was very messy, and some of the content was obviously exaggerated.
It's not surprising that this happens.
Not all people's memories are true, let alone when they are excited.
However, after comparing all the two people's statements, the police still got a lot of information about the situation inside the tunnel.
The first thing that can be determined is that there are many enemies.
Because according to the two people, there were people in the entire tunnel from beginning to end.
Judging from the length of the tunnel, this is definitely not an effect that a few dozen people can stand up for.
And in terms of brutality, they don't really need to describe it. They dared to blow up the Red Tunnel and held thousands of people hostage. These two courages alone surpassed all the gangsters.
"This is a group of terrorists."
Zhang Pin defined this.
After all, what these guys have done has exceeded the limit that gangsters can achieve.
"But how did they get so many bombs in?"
Now Zhang Pin only has one question.
Hong Kong Island's control over guns is not too strict, mainly because many things are difficult to check.
But the control over explosives is not too lax.
It stands to reason that it is still possible for some arms dealers to hide a few kilograms or something, but if you want to blow up the Red Cross Tunnel, you will need at least thousands of kilograms.
Such an exaggerated quantity could be transported to the Red Tunnel without anyone noticing. Zhang Pin immediately suspected whether there was some power behind it.
"Forget it, let's check how many guys are here, and bring all the bulletproof vests and bulletproof equipment from the police station."
Now that he has encountered it, Zhang Pin naturally cannot ignore it.
It's just because the tunnel is blocked now that the guys in Tsim Sha Tsui can't get through for the time being, and because there are also terrorists in Kowloon, it's estimated that they will be sent there to attack the enemy.
"Sir Zhang, a carload of guys came here, claiming to be bomb disposal experts."
At the same time that Zhang Pin appeared, the calls for support finally arrived one after another.
"Hey, Sir Zhang, you're here too, that's great."
When the leading bomb disposal expert saw Zhang Pin, a rare smile appeared on his originally worried face.
For everyone in the Hong Kong Island Police Force, Zhang Pin has transformed from a person into a spiritual pillar.
For many police officers, as long as Zhang Pin, who has a 100% crime detection rate, appears at the crime scene, it means that although the case has difficulties, it will definitely be solved in the end.
For people like them who are walking in danger, as long as the final result is good, then everything is good.
"Sir Zhang, you are here this time. Why are you not wearing explosion-proof clothing?"
Zhang Pin knows Zhang Zaishan. There are not many police officers at the superintendent level in Hong Kong. Zhang Zaishan is the only one who can reach the superintendent level as a bomb disposal expert, so his reputation in the police force is not high.
Small.
After all, things like bomb disposal are really something God gives you. If you don't have talent, you won't be able to get into the industry even if you want to.
The police itself is a high-risk profession, not to mention the Hong Kong police, who encounter three cases a day, which is considered a small number.
And the bomb disposal experts in the police are even more dangerous among the highest risks.
For people in their profession, basically one mistake would mean the end of their career, and possibly even their lives.
However, Zhang Zaishan was able to rise from an ordinary police officer to the level of superintendent step by step, and he has always been a bomb disposal expert, so his fame can be imagined.
In the past, there was a bomb disposal expert in the police force who was almost as famous as him. His surname seemed to be Pan. I heard that not only did the two have similar talents in bomb disposal, they even looked similar.
However, the bomb disposal expert surnamed Pan was not as lucky as Zhang Zaishan. During a bomb disposal operation, one of his legs was blown off. Then he was sadly transferred to the logistics department of the police force and became silent.
"The bomb inside can blow up even the Red Cross Tunnel. What difference does it make if I wear explosion-proof clothing or not? If it really explodes, if I run faster without clothes, I might still survive."
Zhang Zaishan obviously has a very funny personality, and at this juncture, he was still in the mood to joke.
After all, the danger of bombs is so great, and those bomb disposal experts are the first to bear the brunt of the risk. If they were ordinary people, their faces would probably turn pale with fear by now.
For example, Zhang Zaishan's partner's expression is like this right now.
"Now that this is the case, there's no point in your taking action. The bombs inside are all separate and not connected by a thread. It won't affect the overall situation if you dismantle one or two. I'm going to directly attack by force."
Zhang Pin didn't pay much attention to Zhang Zaishan's appearance.
As he said, in this case, it doesn't matter whether the other party comes or not, because it is impossible to play a key role.
"You can't say that. There are so many bombs inside. Even if you finish the attack, we will still have to defuse them afterwards. We can't just let them blow up the tunnel."
Zhang Zaishan has a very good personality and did not feel humiliated by Zhang Pin's words. On the contrary, he clearly understood his own position very clearly.
Zhang Pin also smiled and nodded.
"Perhaps these guys are all bluffing. In fact, they don't have that much explosives. After all, the customs are not a bunch of people who live for nothing, right? One thousand kilograms of explosives. If they can transport so much explosives, they might as well just transport the flour.
Wouldn’t that profit be higher?”
Zhang Pin smiled and laid a small foreshadowing. He had the confidence to lead people to attack. Naturally, it was not that he really wanted his life, but it was an explosive that was helpless to others, but Zhang Pin himself had a way to deal with it.
"Maybe they originally wanted to transport flour, but they were hit too hard by you, Sir Zhang, so they had no choice but to transport explosives."
Regarding his half-joking remarks, Zhang Zaishan also made a joke.
"Well, it's really possible when you say that."
I wonder who in Hong Kong doesn't know that Sir Zhang is sworn in with gambling and drug addicts. In the past few years, there may have been more than 10 Da Lao family members destroyed, including countless small stalls and hawkers.
The white noodle market in Hong Kong Island has now entered a state of leaderlessness. The big bosses have either hidden themselves deeply or simply changed careers.
Only some small groups are left, because profits are getting higher and higher, so they continue to take risks and maintain the white noodle market.
Although Zhang Pin doesn't attack Bai Mian Laojia very much now, he still understands these things.
According to the statistics of Taoist practitioners from the Hong Kong Island authorities, it seems that almost no new Taoist practitioners appeared last year, and for the first time there was a decline in the existing group.
There is no way, because of the scarcity of the market, the value of this thing is getting higher and higher. In the past, in order to expand the market, some fishermen would deliberately use part of it to lure ignorant people to smoke, and then cultivate the market.
But now it is difficult to meet even the existing demand for Taoist friends. Some Taoist friends can only go hungry and have a full meal, and many times they cannot find the source of goods.
So naturally no one will train new people anymore.
After all, the price of white flour has increased a lot now. To train new people is to throw away wasted money. New people are more unsafe than the original old people and can easily expose themselves.
"Sir Zhang, it's really you. I heard that you are going to attack by force, so that counts as our share."
While Zhang Pin and Zhang Zaishan were discussing how to open a gap for the attack, nominal commander Chen Jiaju finally arrived at the scene.
In fact, he was not far from here before.
But halfway through the car, he found a car overturned on the side of the road, and it seemed to be driven by the previous Hong Kong Island bank robber, so he could only stop temporarily to observe the situation.
At that time, Hong Jipeng climbed out of the car. In order to catch the robber, he also got out of the car and chased him.
Unfortunately, after chasing for several miles, Hong Jipeng still let Hong Jipeng run away.
Just because he left the car, the clerk around him did not have time to contact Chen Jiaju as soon as he received the commander's appointment.
As a result, it took a lot of time to find him and deliver the notice.
However, Chen Jiaju hurriedly hurried, but still did not miss this risky offensive action.
"Hey, hey, I'm Chief Superintendent of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, Zhang Pin. Who is the commander opposite?"
Zhang Pin's decision to attack was no joke.
However, the reason why he dared to attack was because he had the confidence to face explosives, but he could not let other members of the police force die because of his decision.
So before taking action, he specifically contacted the clerk at the Kowloon exit at the other end of the Cross-Red Tunnel.
"Sir Zhang, I am Ji Shaoqun. I will take command here for the time being."
After hearing Zhang Pin's question on the intercom, Ji Shaoqun's voice rang out after a moment of silence at the Kowloon exit.
"It's Sir Ji. We are preparing to storm the tunnel. You should not act rashly for the time being. However, you need to be alert to the escape of terrorists, so the temporary task is to guard the exit and evacuate the people at the same time. Do you know?"
When Zhang Pin heard that it was Ji Shaoqun, he directly gave the order to him without much greeting. ()
