Across the glass door, the situation inside and outside did not change with the arrival of Tang Chao and the two men, and the stalemate continued. After listening to Xiao Huang's helpless explanation, Zhong Wanqing looked blankly at the bald little monk in the store with his hands clasped together and kept saying something.
It's quite decent. At least the suspect hiding behind the cashier did not do anything dangerous. He shook his head speechlessly.
"Wait for support. Just keep an eye on me. Xiao Tang and I will persuade the crowd to stay away first."
This is the only way. Cases involving the safety of hostages are inherently troublesome and cannot be solved with guns. There are many factors that law enforcers need to consider. Until the critical moment, without a comprehensive plan, they will not easily choose to attack and rescue.
Of course, at the moment, there is no need for this... Following Zhong Wanqing towards Tang Chao, who was watching the crowd, he looked back at the back of the green-gray coarse cloth clothes in the store, and curled up the corner of his mouth, looking a little bored.
Are monks merciful? If you take that distance directly, or just pass it over casually, then it’s all over...
When they were trying to disperse, the red and blue police lights flashed on the street corners outside the crowd, and several police cars rushed over. The support arrived, and then it was the standard procedure to pull up the cordon, disperse the surrounding crowd, set up a temporary command point, and urgently study countermeasures...
Among the police officers helping to subdue them, Tang Chao and Zhong Wanqing, who were in plain clothes, looked extremely eye-catching, but no one said anything.
After the director who came over learned Zhong Wanqing's identity, he also kindly invited her to help with suggestions. As a temporary consultant, Zhong Wanqing waved her hands to refuse.
You can't do anything like giving someone a hand to help.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty could see that Zhong Wanqing wanted to participate in this matter, which was normal. The power of habit in some professions was very strong, just like a former top killer in the world who occasionally had itchy hands.
The result of the discussion was not very ideal. It was mainly due to the environment. There was no suitable spot for concealed sniping, which resulted in the loss of a major security tool in the rescue operation. In addition, the position where the middle-aged man was staying was really awkward, with both sides carrying the load.
In the corner of the wall, there is a cashier bar. No matter you enter from the front door or the back door, as long as you appear in the main hall of the store, it is impossible to escape the opponent's sight. The possibility of a close-up sneak attack to seize the knife and uniform is extremely slim...
Of course, it is not that there is no solution at all. You can try to use gentle methods to solve the problem through negotiation. Of course, the negotiator is not the little monk in the store today, but a professional negotiator. He will explain the benefits of surrendering, and also explain clearly what the law does to middle-aged men.
Considering the difference in sentencing between the two types of crimes before and after, etc., the probability of successfully winning is still quite high.
After all, the other party is not a professional kidnapper or a brutal gangster, but a less dangerous human trafficker. However, here we must carefully consider the possibility of armed rescue if the negotiation cannot continue, so it is a bit nerve-wracking.
Tang Chao stood idle nearby, occasionally looking up at the store, yawning, and looking back, like an outsider.
It was during this stalemate that something changed in the venue. The negotiator, who was born in Yeluzi, looked at the handsome little monk and walked out of the store. He pushed open the glass door and looked at the police who were waiting for him. He felt a little shy and embarrassed.
Put your hands together and salute,
"Hello donors, can you lend me a fire? He wants to smoke."
The scene became quiet for a moment. Zhong Wanqing reacted the fastest. She decisively took out the lighter from her pocket, took a few steps forward, and tossed it lightly: "Here, do you want a cigarette? I have one!"
"Thank you, no need, the donor inside has some."
Putting his hands together and saluting again, the young monk turned around and walked back into the house. Everyone outside looked at each other with similar expressions of surprise and disbelief.
Yes, it was actually agreed... Tang Chao was stunned when he saw this, and smacked his lips in surprise.
Just as I guessed just now, he is just a human trafficker with a low psychological defense. Now that he wants to smoke a fire as a rule, he is basically planning to surrender. But he didn't expect that he was negotiated by the young monk. No doubt, the latter must
I don’t understand the Dharma. I have lived in the mountains all year round and have no chance to spread the Dharma. If I can talk about it, I can only rely on Buddhist theories such as putting down the butcher’s knife and becoming a Buddha immediately... Tsk, the monk’s eloquent tongue cannot be tolerated.
Look down upon!
Sure enough, five minutes later, a fruit knife was thrown out, and the police guarding the door swarmed in. Zhong Wanqing also rushed in. She wanted to verify the identity of the little beggar. Tang Chao quietly left in the chaos and returned to
In the car.
It seems like he is avoiding something.
As a result, a quarter of an hour later, Tang Chao was sitting in the car, staring blankly at Zhong Wanqing and the young monk walking side by side.
"No wonder I didn't find you just now. Xiao Tang, when did you get back to the car?"
"Oh, I just heard the car alarm and came back to check. It's not our car... What do you think, Sister Qing, is that child the target of our office?"
Zhong Wanqing shook her head without regret: "No, but he must have been abducted. In addition, according to the criminal's confession on the spot, he also has a gang and controls several children. This trip was not in vain, haha... Oh,
This is the young master who acted bravely just now. He is also going to the city. He happens to be on the way. Let me introduce to you..."
Waving his hand, "No need." Through the car window, Tang Chao looked at the curious little monk who seemed to be remembering something, smiled and nodded, "Little Master Dadu, we meet again, what a coincidence."
The young monk clasped his hands together and said, "Are you the Tang Donor who came to the temple with Donor Xie last time to fulfill his wishes?"
"Haha, little master has a good memory."
"You... know each other?" Zhong Wanqing looked at Tang Chao and then at the young monk Dadu, and couldn't help but be surprised.
No, I have seen the appearance of transcending people... "Last year, I went to Xishan with my aunt to fulfill my vows, and I met the young master once. Let's get in the car first." After saying this, Tang Chao greeted the two of them to get in the car and turn around.
Drive back toward the city.
In the back seat, Zhong Wanqing was obviously very interested in looking at the shy little monk, especially about the kidnapping situation in the snack shop just now. She kept asking for details, and the little monk Dadu told it calmly, and by the way, how he was doing.
It was revealed at this point that he walked out of the mountain step by step along the mountain road first and then along the highway.
Zhong Wanqing couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this, and asked the reason. He didn't know how to take the bus and couldn't find the bus station. Also, because of his personality, he was too embarrassed to stop the bus and let others give him a ride.
Hearing such an incredible answer, Zhong Wanqing was filled with surprise and looked at the little monk strangely, as if he were looking at an ancient person who had traveled through time.
There were not many surprises in the Tang Dynasty. If he had not stayed away from the world and had a clear mind, how could he have concentrated on the meditation and understood the Arhat's mind? While Zhong Wanqing was shocked, she asked: "Where is the young master going to the city?"
"Chunjiang Road."
"Oh, I know that place, it's not far away." Tang Chao nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "Does the young master plan to travel around the world?"
The young monk Dadu shook his head honestly: "No, I was invited by someone. In addition, a few days ago, donor Xie also asked someone to contact the young monk. I never thought that I would meet donor Tang here first. It is really fate."
Is there such a thing?
Tang Chao couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. It was normal to think about it. The small mountain temple where the Dadu monk lived was very famous in the upper circles of Lingjiang. It was said that worshiping Buddha there was very miraculous. At least
Xie Wei thinks so, because she worshiped there last year, and Tangdou's condition improved. Now that grandma is not in good health, she will naturally have the same thoughts.
After understanding the situation clearly, Tang Chao stopped talking and concentrated on driving. He drove all the way. The return journey passed the rush hour, and it only took half an hour to successfully return to the city and find Chunjiang Road.
When getting off the bus, Zhong Wanqing, who was really worried, left the little monk's number. Yes, the little monk had a mobile phone, an old-fashioned brick phone that looked like an antique. However, although the appearance was a bit old, Tang Chao could tell that it was
This is a special encrypted phone number, probably left to the young monk by his deceased master.
Seeing the young monk walking to the sidewalk and disappearing into the night, Tang Chao's eyes flashed, he started the car again and returned to the office. After saying goodbye to Zhong Wanqing, he got on his battery car and left.
As he walked through the streets, the dry evening wind blew in his face, and Tang Chao looked a little melancholy. If I remember correctly, there is a Jiuzhou Rise safe house in a community near Chunjiang Road. In this way, in addition to Xie Wei, the little monk also
It's obvious who he was entrusted to come out of the mountain by.
What would make Zong Qing and others take risks and ask the young monk to come out and take charge?
