Lu Qi was about to introduce, but as soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by Ye Meili.
"What?"x2
The director and Lu Qi widened their eyes at the same time.
"I said, although finding a girlfriend is something worthy of celebration, it shouldn't be brought to such an occasion!"
"No, sir, I have nothing to do with him, she is just me..."
Lucky was stuck.
Ye Meili folded her arms calmly, raised her chin to Lu Qi with some pride, and showed a half-smile.
The meaning is obvious: Just keep talking, why don't you keep talking?
Lu Qi couldn't say anything at all.
Could it be that he told the team leader that in order to investigate the stolen news of the Himalayan Star, he deceived a poor man and took over his house and identity? And then he was entangled by the other person's fiancée?
If this kind of illegal operation is made public, the director will not be able to cover it up even if he wants to.
"You! Please give me less trouble!"
Seeing Lu Qi like this, the director knew that he must have violated the rules again. He pointed at him and sighed.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Superintendent Feng, have you and the police discussed this? Are you going to send the bomb squad or the Flying Tigers?
The equipment inside is extremely valuable, and we have no time to delay it any longer!"
The three people looked back and saw a middle-aged man with an ashen complexion, a slicked back hair, and a matte gray suit standing behind them.
This man was about 40 years old, with sharp eyes and well-maintained appearance. Coupled with his domineering aura, one could tell at a glance that he was an official who had been in a high position for a long time and held great power.
"Consultant Liu, haven't we communicated before? The other party has more than 100 hostages in their hands, and the terrain inside the banknote printing plant is complex. It is a military building and its defensive capabilities are amazing.
Even if all members of the Flying Tigers are mobilized, it will not be easy to successfully break in. We must take a long-term approach!"
The director’s explanation was heartfelt.
In his opinion, the other party's proposal was very good.
Since the robbers were surrounded, how could they still fly?
Rather than risking an attack, it is better to encircle it. As long as the other party can gradually release the hostages, that is victory!
It's a pity that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority doesn't think so. In the eyes of these bosses, the reputation of the printing press and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority comes first. As for whether the hostages will die, that is a matter for the police!
"That means you can't do it anymore?"
"No, they have hostages after all!"
"I know what you mean! Since you are afraid of taking responsibility, I won't force you!" Consultant Liu nodded coldly, turned around and shouted: "Superintendent Huang, please trouble you!"
"No trouble! No trouble!"
A voice came, and a wrinkled police superintendent walked up with a weird smile on his face. "I am Superintendent Huang Qifa, the deputy commander of the Central District Heavy Eucalyptus Group, and everything here is under my command now!"
Superintendent Feng said anxiously: "Superintendent Huang, isn't this a bit against the rules? This case is under the control of our branch!"
"Do you think that since things have escalated to the point of taking hostages and threatening the police, the crime might fall into a branch? No! Absolutely impossible!"
"This is already the secret of our entire island police force! Also, I am not seizing power, but I have obtained the authorization from my superiors! This is an order signed by the Assistant Director of the Operations Department. You can also take a look!"
As he spoke, Superintendent Huang took out an envelope from his arms and patted Superintendent Feng directly on the chest.
Then, he walked straight to the command cabin, looked at the various pictures broadcast on the TV wall, picked up the huge walkie-talkie, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "I am Huang Qifa, deputy commander of the Central District Heavy Eucalyptus Group.
Now that I have officially taken over the frontline command, the person in charge of the on-site action team will give me a count and I will see who is present!"
After finishing speaking, Huang Qifa released the button and quietly waited for the reply.
After a while, replies began to come from the intercom.
"This is Inspector Zhou Xingxing, the commander-in-chief of the Flying Tigers! Hello, sir, the Flying Tigers are on standby at any time!"
"This is Inspector Yuan Haoyun of the Western District Heavy Duty Group, hello sir!"
"This is Inspector Shi Tiandong of the West Kowloon Heavy Duty Unit, hello sir!"
"This is Inspector Liu Jianren of the Criminal Intelligence Division. Hello, sir!"
"This is Inspector Zhang Zhiwei of the anti-drug team. Hello, sir!"
…
Huang Qifa was stunned, why did the anti-drug team even show up?
He quickly interrupted the subsequent report: "Have the negotiators arrived?"
"Already arrived! Sir!"
"You can come here!"
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, a young girl wearing a women's suit and combing her hair ran over quickly.
"Sir, I am Ye Keren, the negotiation expert sent by this negotiation expert team..."
Huang Qifa was stunned: "So young? Who are you with?"
"Reporting to the chief! I am the sergeant of the Deepwater Police Station, and the boss is Inspector Li Weizhi. The negotiation expert team is here with Chief Jianjie!"
Ye Keren answered quickly, his eyes as sincere as possible, but Huang Qifa, a veteran, still saw obvious nervousness in the other party's inadvertent movements.
He was a little disappointed, he was just a rookie.
Finding that the commander had not spoken for a long time, Ye Keren felt a little panicked, and quickly added: "Sir, please be assured, I graduated from the Negotiation Expert Training School with the same name, and I have already gone through three months of internship and been on police duty 12 times.
, it has not failed yet!”
Huang Qifa sipped his teeth and said reluctantly: "Okay, you go and give it a try! But don't force it, and pay attention to your own safety!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ye Keren turned to leave.
Ye Meili suddenly said: "Let me go with her!"
Several men present looked at her together, and Lu Qi's eyes widened.
"What's wrong? Are you surprised? This is normal!" Ye Meili pointed at Ye Keren naturally and said: "Those inside are not ordinary robbers. They are very numerous and obviously hold a large amount of money.
Weapons are obviously prepared for big things.
Now just sending a little girl over to negotiate is hard to guarantee whether the other party will think they are looking down on them and become angry!
But if you send a male police officer to follow you, you will stub your toes, which will make the other party refuse to communicate or become more vigilant.
If you think about it this way, it's obviously better for two girls to pretend to be brave and go over to each other, right?"
"this……"
Huang Qifa pondered for a moment, and just when he was about to refuse, Consultant Liu suddenly said: "I think it's okay!"
"What?"
Superintendent Feng frowned: "Consultant Liu, do you know what you are talking about? This girl is not a police officer, she is just a citizen. We cannot let her take risks. She has no such obligation!"
"Every citizen has the obligation to cooperate with the police in solving the case! Since this lady took the initiative to ask for help, and if the plan she proposed is feasible, I think cooperation between the police and the citizens is the best choice! Besides..."
Consultant Liu paused and glanced at the police present: "Do you have any other good ideas?"
He also saw that the police did not want to attack before the situation was clear.
Therefore, even though the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has become anxious and angry, the other party is still as steady as an old dog and plans to play it slow and steady.
There is no use in urging at this time. Instead of making yourself irritable and upset, it is better to wait and see what happens and see what these guys want to do.
All he needs to do is to observe carefully and grasp the dynamics of the scene at all times. If there is any trouble, he will call the boss as soon as possible.
Let them control developments from top to bottom.
"Then... just give it a try?" Huang Qifa tried to test Ye Meili's opinion.
Ye Meili nodded valiantly, "Then let's walk!"
Ye Keren was a little at a loss.
After looking at Huang Qifa and seeing him nodding slightly, he turned around and left reluctantly.
"Miss, please don't talk too much for a while, just follow me! I will do my best to protect your personal safety..."
The voices of the two people gradually faded away, and the interior of the command vehicle returned to a quiet state.
Lu Qi was slightly worried, but only slightly.
His plot line had long been messed up by Gao Ning inadvertently.
During this period, Lu Qi only regarded Ye Meili as a big trouble and tried every means to get rid of him, but he had not yet developed into happy enemies in the later stage.
Therefore, although Lu Qi was a little worried about Ye Meili's choice, he didn't take it seriously.
On the contrary, Superintendent Feng was a little worried and kept staring at the big screen, clenching his hands and saying nothing for a long time.
After hesitating for a moment, Superintendent Huang reluctantly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Call He Shangsheng over!"
…
Outside the gate of the printing factory, Ye Keren walked out of the makeshift sandbag bunker, and he and Ye Meili raised their hands side by side and slowly approached the gate.
"I am Ye Keren, a negotiation expert. This is my assistant. We are here to help. We have no malicious intentions and we do not carry weapons. Please don't shoot!"
Inside the gate, several orange-colored gangsters were holding AK47s, staring closely at the two figures approaching slowly, with no intention of answering.
Ye Keren was nervous, but her face was still calm. She glanced at Ye Meili's condition out of the corner of her eye, and was surprised to find that this woman was much more relaxed than herself, and even had a hint of anger on her face.
smile.
What's going on?
What on earth does this guy do?
With such a strange mood, the two women walked slowly to the door. They were one step away from each other, facing each other through the thick glass door.
Ye Keren emphasized again: "I don't have any ill intentions, why not let us in?"
Ye Meili said nothing, watching Ye Keren's performance with interest.
The orange gangster inside didn't respond. His gun was always pointed at the two of them, as if he didn't hear them at all.
Ye Meili calmly scanned the location of the gangster, thinking about how to kill him in an instant.
The two sides faced off for more than ten seconds. Just when Ye Keren was anxious and ready to try to communicate again, the gangsters inside suddenly separated to the left and right, creating a gap more than one meter wide.
A man wearing a different mask stood out from the crowd, looked at the two of them through the glass, and then said with a smile: "Ye Keren?"
Ye Keren nodded: "I am a negotiation expert! Violence cannot solve any problem. If there is anything, we can sit down and talk slowly!"
"There is nothing to talk about! I think you have watched the video tape I sent out many times. Isn't it clear enough?" the masked man said easily.
"Sir, you should know that the Hong Kong Island Police will never agree to such an unreasonable request."
Ye Keren became serious: "Moreover, the Monetary Authority is located in a remote location. The police mobilized a large number of police forces half an hour ago to surround the place. You will never escape!
It's better to surrender. Before it causes greater impact, I will intercede for you and strive for leniency!"
The masked man stopped talking and just looked at him with his head tilted.
The other orange gangsters also looked over in disbelief. Many eyes were focused on him. Even though Ye Keren had undergone training, he still felt like a light on his back and felt uncomfortable all over.
After a long while, the masked man slowly spoke: "You... are really naive! But for the sake of being so cute, I will forgive you this time! If you do it again next time, don't blame me for giving you the corpses of two hostages.
!”
Ye Keren's eyes widened.
How could this happen? Did I say something wrong?
It shouldn't be. I followed the teaching materials and procedures. How could I make mistakes?
But this guy’s reaction is wrong!
"Who are you?"
The masked man looked at Ye Meili again.
Ye Meili said openly: "Don't I look like an expert in negotiation?"
"You? Negotiation expert? Don't be ridiculous! You smell like a thief all over your body. You are not even a policeman, but you are still an expert on negotiation! Tell me, what do you want to do?" the masked man said unceremoniously.
Smells bad?
Ye Keren looked at Ye Meili with some suspicion, but Ye Meili didn't care at all and stood there openly for her to look at.
"You still have some eyesight! Don't be nervous, I'm just accompanying my little sister to strengthen her courage! After all, as a little girl facing hundreds of armed gangsters, she will inevitably be a little scared!
It's different if I follow you, at least you have a companion!"
Ye Meili told nonsense in a serious manner.
However, Ye Keren glanced at her in surprise, his eyes a little gentler.
"Not the truth!"
The masked man shook his head and said: "But it doesn't matter, no matter what you think in your heart, you won't act rashly after you can truly see our power!"
After saying that, the masked man took the last step and ordered: "Let them in!"
At that moment, two orange gangsters came forward, quickly unlocked the door, and asked the two women to let them in.
A female gangster stepped forward, briefly searched her body, and after confirming that she had no weapons, she nodded to the masked man and stood aside.
"Come with me! Let me open your eyes too!"
The masked man hooked his fingers and led the way. Ye Kerer and Ye Meili quickly followed behind.
Ye Meili looked around, feeling strange everywhere.
Ye Keren, on the other hand, stared intently at the masked man's back, trying to figure out this guy's psychological profile.
Outside, in the police camp, Huang Qifa and others put down their binoculars and breathed a sigh of relief.
