The hazy sky is as desperate as a sex worker who injects drugs. Rolling clouds cover the sky. Heavy rain is coming and the cold wind is blowing.
A magnificent building 400 meters high.
Its rooftop overlooks the entire city.
Because of this astonishing height, the wind was strong and my ears were filled with constant roaring.
However, in such a dangerous situation, there was someone standing on the edge of the rooftop. The strong wind was blowing the hem of his clothes and it seemed that he would fall down at any time.
In such a critical situation, his burned face showed no expression. He just blocked a female staff member in front of him and strangled her neck with one hand.
She was just an ordinary financial practitioner, her delicate eye makeup had turned away from tears, and her weak throaty voice disappeared in the cold wind.
"Don't come any closer, I will kill this woman."
Cohen's hands exuded terrifying high-pressure hot air. As long as he wanted to, he could push this woman off a tall building or melt her.
Eugene was confronting Cohen, and the gun sight was pointed at Cohen, but he still did not pull the trigger.
When Colin broke open the fire door and arrived, everything was as he expected.
Forced into a desperate situation, Cohen chose the most despicable method and took an ordinary person hostage.
But neither Colin nor Eugene are expert negotiators and don't know how to speak.
Generate electricity during the day.
The free thunder echoed and surged on the clouds, and suddenly, the continuous heavy rain shattered hysterically and exploded in the city, making a fragmented but hearty sound.
The long silence and the bad weather made the female hostage even more frightened, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.
Colin didn't expect this to happen.
"Aren't you a soldier? You once fought for the Freedom Alliance, and look at how you have fallen to this point now."
Colin shouted loudly, he did not want to fall short at the last moment, and tried to use Cohen's status as a soldier to arouse his remaining sense of honor.
Cohen's hands trembled slightly, then clenched into fists.
Eugene put down his firearm and placed all his hopes on Colin.
"The Freedom Alliance..." Cohen said word by word, his voice getting colder and colder, "The Freedom Alliance betrayed us. Those politicians did not fulfill any promises at all, did not provide support funds, and did not arrange any work. The newspapers compared us to murderers.
Machines, rapists, and family members will also feel shame because of this identity. I have always been wrong, we will only fight, and my battle is not over yet!"
His voice penetrated the heavy rain curtain, and he pinched the hostage's hand harder, leaving a terrifying blood mark, and scarlet blood overflowed.
Eugene took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, Colin's words had the opposite effect. She was a little anxious. If this continued, the situation of the hostages would only become more and more unfavorable.
She couldn't bear to let a girl die like this. She looked to be in her early twenties, quite immature, younger than herself, and just an intern.
"Tell me, what conditions do you have and what do I have to do before you are willing to let go of the hostages?"
Colin understood that what this man had experienced was so tragic that there was probably nothing that could shake his heart except negotiating terms.
"I want you to blow up this building, will you agree?"
Cohen made an incredible offer.
"You know this is impossible. You have killed many people, and you also know deep down in your heart that this matter will not go well. You are also a patient with latent syndrome. Working with SCT, you must know some inside information. As long as you provide clues, we will
We will consider lenient treatment. As long as the information is important enough, the possibility of your survival will not be ruled out."
Although Colin can't decide these things, he can only say this now.
"If you just kill me and the hostages, I will still have some respect for your countermeasures."
"Now it seems that you are just hawks for profit. The crimes I committed can hang me at least ten times."
"You also have no respect for the law, because you are the ones who gave it."
"Just as the strong will dominate the weak, the wise will make fools of the stupid."
"It's all a conspiracy. All of this, everything, is a conspiracy."
Cohen's expression was distorted and he looked almost crazy.
The loud thunder, the out-of-control situation and the chaotic words made Colin and Colin even more nervous and their breathing became more rapid.
From the very beginning of the news sent by Gray, Cohen had been in contact with Di Bo. It must have been something Di Bo said to him that caused his temperament to change drastically.
"No matter what Di Wei told you, he is just using you. You and them are not the same as SCT."
It was only now that Colin realized what a terrible guy he met at the convenience store that day.
"Of course I know about that kind of thing. Di Biao is just a mad dog and a freak."
"We just use each other."
"But what he said was correct."
"This is a kind of domestication, an invisible domestication."
"I will not agree with you."
"You must agree to my request, otherwise I will kill her."
Cohen suddenly became furious, picked up the girl and lifted her into the air, hanging her outside the rooftop. The fear and pressure caused by a height of 400 meters was simply not something ordinary people could bear. Looking down from this height, even those so-called seventy-eighty-year-olds could not stand it.
At around 100 feet, the so-called high-rise buildings are nothing more than miniature objects the size of boxes.
The wind was howling, the rain was pouring, and the girl was screaming in agony out of extreme fear.
"Let her go and we will agree to whatever you ask for."
Eugene was too anxious to speak in a panic.
"I want you to clear all my criminal information and find my son. I will leave North America forever and never come back. This is my final condition."
Cohen said coldly.
"No problem, but can you put her down first?"
Eugene could only answer this.
at this time.
The ringtone of the girl's mobile phone rang in mid-air.
The heartstrings of the two Eugenes were tense. Many times the murderer did not want to kill and was in a state of high tension. Any alarm could lead to excessive killing.
Cohen lowered the girl down and allowed her to stand safely on the rooftop.
But the ringtone was too noisy. Cohen hesitated and asked her to answer the phone, but still clamped her wrist tightly to prevent her from running away.
Because of the distance, Colin couldn't hear the voice on the other side and didn't know the content of the call.
Half a minute later.
call ended.
Do not know why.
Suddenly Cohen held his forehead, as if he was in some great pain, staggered a little, murmured something in his mouth, grabbed the girl's hand and let go.
Almost immediately, the girl ran towards her. Eugene was so excited that he rushed to meet her and hugged her tightly, comforting her.
Although Colin didn't know what was happening, and it was too out of the ordinary and confusing to explain, he immediately raised his submachine gun and pointed it at Cohen.
"I understand, I understand... you will not do that at all. You will not agree to any of my requests. Just a hostage cannot do this."
"You are always in control."
"forever."
Cohen's tone was extremely desperate, and his pupils had lost focus.
"Raise your hands high and come slowly over!"
Colin issued the order, he no longer had any chips in his hand.
"I already know what to do, Mr. Agent."
Cohen was seen slowly retreating, and finally he fell over and fell from the edge of the rooftop.
Colin didn't expect him to do this at all and froze in place.
"Who called you and what did they say?"
Eugene was extremely puzzled.
"It's my dad. I'm also in the financial industry. He saw on TV that the prisoner in the Central Business District bombing case was found. It was a man named Cohen. He was very worried about me."
The girl had not recovered from the shock just now and was crying.
Colin stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking for where Cohen fell.
The rain soaked his hair, and he searched for Cohen with great concentration.
Suddenly, he understood everything. In order to prevent Cohen from escaping, Colin asked the police to issue a wanted warrant on the way here.
Eliminate all criminal information?
He cared so much about his children's opinions, and the news report and the spread of information destroyed his last belief.
No.
Maybe it's not just that.
Maybe it's just that there is still a father waiting for his child to return.
It rained heavily.
Because the place he stood was too high, it was the top of the stock exchange, and Colin tried to look at Cohen's body from here.
