Chapter 961: One Thousand and Ninety: Revealing the Trouble
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zaishan suddenly fell silent, and then they all looked at Zhang Pin silently.
Feeling the eyes of everyone, Zhang Pin, who was still observing the situation of the hostages who ran out, stood up without any shirk.
Seeing Zhang Pin stand up, Zhang Zaishan and other police officers immediately became energetic. Everyone obviously wanted to see how Zhang Pin could persuade these excited citizens.
Da da da da da da——
As a result, the method Zhang Pin used was completely beyond their imagination.
Zhang Pin directly raised the submachine gun in his hand, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Fortunately, the muzzle of the submachine gun in Zhang Pin's hand was pointed at the sky.
As the gunfire rang out, the crowd immediately fell silent.
After the crowd calmed down, Zhang Pin did not stop shooting.
He finished the bullets in a magazine in one go, and then opened his mouth while changing bullets.
"I know everyone is excited, but please don't get excited first. The reason why we do the examination is actually for your own good."
Zhang Pin's words have no magic power, but the weapons in his hands have enough deterrence.
So when he was speaking, no one in the crowd opposite interrupted him.
Regarding this, Zhang Pin couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He originally thought that if he did this, the terrorists hiding in the crowd might take the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
As a result, it now seems that they are either lurking deep and confident that they will not be found out.
Or maybe I guessed wrong and there were actually no terrorists hiding in the crowd.
After such a high-profile result did not catch the enemy, Zhang Pin's conversation suddenly changed.
"You also know that the group of people in the tunnel are lunatics. Maybe he planted bombs on some of them."
As soon as Zhang Pin said these words, the crowd on the opposite side finally became a little commotion.
"No, we didn't have bombs on us. They just put bombs on our cars and on the walls of the tunnel."
"Yes, there are no bombs planted on us, let us pass."
Several rebuttal voices came from the crowd.
But Zhang Pin did not reply to these voices.
"Don't get excited. This inspection must be done. This is not only for our safety, but also for your safety. If you cooperate early, we can complete the inspection early. Otherwise, if we continue to delay, if there is an explosion in the tunnel,
Everyone will be unlucky."
"And you have to know that it was us who took the risk and fought with them just now, so you had the chance to come out."
Zhang Pin's tough attitude, coupled with the fact that he had a gun in hand, made many hostages who originally wanted to refute not be so excited.
After all, what Zhang Pin said is true. Of course, this is not the point.
The key point is the weapon in Zhang Pin's hand, coupled with his nonchalant expression, these people are afraid that Zhang Pin will confront them in the next second.
When they ran out of the tunnel just now, they had seen how Zhang Ping dealt with the gunmen.
"Very good. As long as everyone cooperates, we will go very quickly. After the inspection, everyone should go to the back to have a rest and eat something."
Seeing someone taking the initiative to cooperate with the inspection, Zhang Pin immediately winked at Chen Jiaju.
Several people immediately stood around the person being examined knowingly.
They also felt that if the hostages came out so easily, there must be terrorists mixed in. At this time, they all worked hard to find the hostages out.
However, it was beyond everyone's expectations. They didn't know whether there were no terrorists mixed in, or they were hiding it too well. After checking hundreds of people in succession, not a single one behaved abnormally.
"It seems to be very deep. We need to be more careful and wait until the hostages are checked before we consider continuing the attack."
Zhang Pin waved his hand and took the initiative to step aside.
After checking hundreds of people, the number of hostages running out of the tunnel not only did not decrease, but actually increased.
As the number of people increased, the police force, which was originally relatively abundant, began to become short of manpower.
Because they have to guard against possible terrorists in the crowd, and also need to calm the excited emotions of the panicked hostages.
Sir Zhang naturally has a complete plan on how to deal with terrorists.
But if he is required to calm the hostage's emotions, then Sir Zhang will not be in the mood to show off his high emotional intelligence.
And compared to this matter, Zhang Pin has another more important matter.
"Husband, look here, look here."
At the edge of the tunnel in the Hung Hom direction, Le Huizhen was holding a microphone and waving towards this side.
In fact, she hasn't been seen in theaters for several years.
It was not a coincidence that she came here this time. In fact, Zhang Ping called her specifically to invite her.
Zhang Pin specifically called Le Huizhen here, not just to let her report first-hand news.
"Dear viewers, this is the ATV evening news. I am now at the entrance of the Red Cross Tunnel in the Hung Hom direction. It has been an hour and a half since the Red Cross Tunnel was hijacked by terrorists. Now we can see that the police still take this emergency very seriously.
of."
"As far as I know, after the Cross-Country Tunnel was hijacked by terrorists, the on-site commander of the police was Sir Zhang. Within half an hour of taking over the on-site command, he had already eliminated the terrorists in Hung Hom. Everyone.
You can see that behind me is the entrance and exit of the tunnel, and the hostages who were originally held hostage are coming out in a steady stream."
"Here I would like to appeal to the hostages who have just come out. The police have made a lot of efforts to rescue everyone. Please cooperate with the police's inspection. We are facing a group of extremely vicious and inhumane terrorists. We must beware of each other's attacks.
Conspiracy to protect our city together."
Although Le Huizhen has not appeared on stage for several years, as the head of ATV, she has not only not lost her speaking skills, but has become stronger.
However, because of Zhang Pin's relationship, she did not choose to stand on the opposite side of the police with a sharp tone and topic, but chose to stand on the same front as the police.
Seeing Le Huizhen doing a live broadcast, Zhang Pin thought about it and walked over without any hesitation.
"Sir Zhang, what do you think of the terrorists inside the tunnel? Do you have the confidence to stop their crimes and protect the security of Hong Kong Island?"
Le Huizhen had spoken to Zhang Pin before she came, so now she directly defined everyone in the tunnel as terrorists, and also deliberately created momentum for Zhang Pin.
In fact, Zhang Pin was not the designated on-site commander of the police force, but Le Huizhen directly confirmed his position as commander.
Zhang Pin happened to lead the attack, and it seemed that he achieved very important results. At this time, Le Huizhen naturally continued to ask.
"Of course I have confidence that protecting the lives and property of Hong Kong Island citizens is the duty of the police force. As a member of the police force and also a member of ordinary citizens, we will never compromise against such terrorists, and the police force will also
We are fully capable of defeating them."
After all, Zhang Pin has been a leader for such a long time, so he can easily pick up some scenes and phrases.
Especially in line with the results he had just achieved, the number of hostages running out of the tunnel at this time had exceeded three hundred, and the flow of people behind them had not decreased.
So what originally sounded like a bit of bragging turned out not to be false at all now.
"Sir Zhang, there are too many hostages coming out, we"
Before Zhang Pin and Le Huizhen could continue their performance, Zhang Zaishan rushed up and interrupted their interview.
He pointed at the space that had been specially vacated inside the fortifications, and then pointed at the steady flow of people in the tunnel that was still appearing.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Pin was really stunned for a moment.
Originally, in his opinion, the terrorists in the tunnel probably took action themselves and detonated the explosives arranged by the terrorists in the tunnel, so he temporarily chose to give in.
But it stands to reason that this kind of concession should be made after the explosion stops and the other party will react.
Logically speaking, the hostages in the tunnel are very important to the terrorists, and they cannot let everyone escape like this.
That's why Zhang Pin suspected that the other party might have deliberately let people out, but actually there were terrorists inside. They might have come out to cause trouble, or they might have taken the opportunity to escape.
Only then would Zhang Pin strongly demand that everyone stay, and then investigate them one by one to make sure not to let any bad guy go.
But now the explosion has stopped long ago, but the terrorists in the tunnel did nothing, and did not even seem to prevent the hostages from escaping.
Zhang Pin was naturally not sure what their plan was for a moment.
"Could it be that they are planning to release all the hostages at once, and then mix themselves in, preparing to all escape and not blow up the Red Tunnel?"
Zhang Pin couldn't figure it out, so he could only guess based on the current situation.
Seeing that the number of hostages running out had exceeded 500, Zhang Pin couldn't help but wonder whether the terrorists in the tunnel were not planning to continue threatening the Hong Kong authorities to blow up the Red Cross Tunnel, but were preparing to escape.
"You can't be so timid, I just threw a grenade."
No wonder Zhang Pin thought this way. It was clear that more than ten minutes had passed, but except for a steady stream of hostages running out, there was no other movement in the tunnel.
Moreover, Zhang Zaishan and other police officers specifically questioned the hostages who had escaped, and the information they received was that all the terrorists inside ran to the tunnels in the middle or Kowloon, and there were no terrorists at all in the tunnels here.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Pin couldn't figure out for a while whether the other party was acting or engaging in some conspiracy.
"They must be planning some kind of conspiracy, and it looks grand. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so generous and just release half of the hostages."
After learning that there were almost no terrorists in Hung Hom, Zhang Pin did not underestimate the enemy and immediately knew that his previous guess was definitely correct.
"They definitely hid someone among the hostages. Ask the hostages who came out if they know who they are suspicious of."
Zhang Pin did not agree to Zhang Zaishan's request to transfer the hostages. Instead, he asked the police at the scene to question the hostages again to see if they could identify any terrorists from them.
"Everyone of them looks nervous now. How can they pay attention to the people around them? Besides, most of these hostages don't know each other, they just happened to pass through the Red Cross Tunnel."
After hearing Zhang Pin's arrangement, Zhang Zaishan obviously had no hope for it.
"I don't expect the hostages to find the terrorists, but after asking like this, someone will definitely blow themselves up. Remember to arrange the manpower, and don't let ordinary citizens be harmed."
Zhang Pin saw that Zhang Zaishan obviously didn't understand, so he simply spoke out.
After all, the other party is a police superintendent and a bomb disposal expert, so it is normal to have doubts about his arrangements.
Moreover, leaving all the hostages at the scene is not only an offending task, but may also entail great risks.
Zhang Zaishan has no opinion on this matter, so Zhang Pin will naturally give him enough respect.
"Yes, I don't know the hostages, but the terrorists will definitely reveal their flaws."
After hearing Zhang Pin's explanation, Zhang Zaishan also reacted.
It is normal for the hostages to be nervous at this time, so the police may not get much useful information from their inquiries, and may even trigger a confrontation between the two parties.
But if there are really terrorists mixed in, then the other party's mentality must be different.
Zhang Zaishan himself is a smart man.
I just came to see Zhang Pin because there were too many hostages and the venue was not enough.
But Zhang Zaishan also agreed that there might be terrorists among the hostages.
Just because he was more concerned about solving the problem of the Red Cross Tunnel in a timely manner, he proposed to let the terrorists escape, thus preventing the other party from choosing to fight to the death.
Now Zhang Pin directly proposed a way to quickly find the terrorists. In addition, the terrorists released so many hostages at once, and it was obvious that there was some guilt involved.
If one party is particularly tough, the other party will unconsciously become weak.
Now since this group of terrorists seems to be weak, Zhang Zaishan naturally doesn't mind expanding the results.
In fact, it did not exceed Zhang Pin's expectation. These terrorists indeed mixed their own people among the hostages.
When Zhang Zaishan separated the hostages from each other and then asked them if they encountered anything unusual or strange people in the tunnel, a terrorist who was not calm enough quickly showed his flaws.
He thought he had been exposed a long time ago, and suddenly he became violent and wanted to hurt others.
And this guy was so sinister that he even prepared a piece of steel wire on his body.
This guy was very skilled in the use of steel wire. It only took a moment to wrap it around the neck of the inquiring police officer, and then he was ready to hang the police officer.
However, although this guy's movements are very fast and skillful, his speed with the steel wire is still not as fast as that of the pistol.
After his identity was revealed, four police officers stood less than three meters away from him.
When he violently attacked the police, the other three policemen did not hesitate to draw their guns and shoot at him.
By the time he had just entangled the attacking police officer, he had already been shot several times.
"There are indeed terrorists!"
Zhang Zaishan, who was not far away, saw this scene and felt relieved.
