"Emergency notice - A special incident has occurred in Tianle Park in Linjiang District, which may endanger public safety. Citizens are asked to stop their plans to visit. The police are still investigating..."
On the bench on the sidewalk, an old lady taking a walk sat to rest and took out the radio out of habit. She pulled out the antenna and heard such a sound on the band of the leisure channel where she listened most often.
The old lady was a little confused - she had just gone there five hours ago with her hospitalized grandson, and had not heard of any urgent cases. Now she was back near the hospital. She had just left her grandson to his parents who were off work to continue taking care of her. Then she couldn't stand the smell of disinfectant in the hospital and decided to come out for some fresh air.
It seems that she may have just missed the danger.
The seven-seater vehicle was parked on one side of the dual carriageway, occupying a large area, thus attracting a series of honks from passing drivers.
The car windows were covered with privacy film, so people outside couldn't see the people inside, but they could always hear the hum of the engine. Most of the vehicles noticed the warning to no avail and chose to take a detour, but some also opened the window and knocked on the door when passing by, wanting to ask questions - however, the driver of this car seemed unmoved and did not open the window. If you don't move the car, you don't know what is going on inside.
It's not that the sound insulation of the car door is very good, because it is almost dead silence inside, and no one sitting there dares to react to the movement outside.
There were five people sitting in front and behind, three boys and two girls, and among them was a child - a little girl, no more than five years old, with a small red flower on her chest.
The only thing that made the car less than silent was the four-year-old girl. She huddled in her father's arms, her face flushed, her whole body hot, and she kept coughing, causing the only continuous sound in the room.
The person sitting in the driver's seat also looked back from time to time. Li Fengnian, who was holding his daughter in his arms and wearing formal clothes, was also extremely anxious.
"Are there no further instructions yet?" He finally couldn't help but ask, but it was the young man who looked towards the driver's seat.
Liang An lowered his head and glanced at the communication machine he didn't know how to make himself, and shook his head helplessly.
"There is a hospital just a few steps away..." The young woman sitting next to Li Fengnian couldn't bear to see the girl suffer anymore, "Can't you at least put the child down? Something will happen if this continues!"
After speaking, Zhao Qiang also found a chocolate bar from her trouser pocket and handed it to Li Fengnian.
"Why don't you find someone to buy medicine." The middle-aged man sitting in the co-pilot said quietly, "Just go to the drugstore, and the limit is within fifteen minutes. If there is any unusual movement, the bomb will be detonated directly - just find someone with better acting skills. , isn’t this very deterrent?”
As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, everyone in the car turned their attention to him.
"...I don't want to negotiate with the kidnappers. How can I convince people if I don't explain the pros and cons?" Zhao Yi shrank for a moment, "What can I do? Let the little girl keep coughing until she falls unconscious, and then..."
"Uncle, don't say bad words!" Zhao Qiang scolded.
Zhao Yi said he was wronged: "I am doing this for that child and for everyone... I definitely can't get out of the car, and it's not like you don't know. Sister, after all, we are the same family, and maybe eight hundred years in the future we will still be the same family. Relatives, can you take pity on me, a 'dying person'? I am also a victim, right? Don't take your anger out on me."
But his spirit is a bit too good. Not only does he look healthy, his mentality is a bit too "young" even for a man in his forties.
A closer look revealed that although Zhao Yi was sitting in the passenger seat, his entire body was tied tightly with ropes and tightly tied to the adjustable seat back. And he had been deliberately keeping his body against the back of the chair, and he also instinctively wanted to prevent the things tied to his chest from being pressed and touched.
——A flat gray square box with flashing numbers on the screen, which is no different from the image of a bomb in movies and TV shows. Normally, the people in the car might have thought it was just a prank after careful consideration, but after all, they all witnessed the "special incident" in Tianle Park a few hours ago.
When they woke up separately, a communicator appeared in front of them. Not only did they give a written warning, but they also tied such a large time bomb to Zhao Yi's chest. They also personally "acted" a scene that happened in the middle of an artificial lake. of explosion.
The instigator claimed that as long as one of them made a rash move, the bomb would detonate immediately. Not only that, but another layer of complicated locks was thoughtfully placed on the car door in advance - in order to prevent any of them from being impatient and preparing to escape immediately before viewing the "explosion" scene.
This move does make sense. Because just now, the girl named Zhao Qiang knocked on the door so loudly as soon as she woke up that she woke up everyone else at once and almost broke the car door open before reading the kidnapper's message.
At this time, Zhao Yi talked about his negotiation plan again: "It's better to let the young father go buy medicine and leave the child here. The kidnappers must feel that there are restrictions, otherwise the people who get off the car will escape and the rest will be left behind. No one will survive. Right?"
He was asking about the person behind the scenes who didn't know where he was, and seemed to be pleading.
Liang Anxin thought about what was happening now, then turned back and glanced around.
"If it comes to acting, I should be able to give it a try."
This identity must be carried out to the end, because his name is not Liang An now - the identity he is pretending at the moment is that of a supporting actor in a movie theater.
As a father, Li Fengnian had no time to pay attention to their discussions at this time. He brushed his daughter's wet hair soaked with sweat, comforted him and then turned to the others: "You looked outside, is it true that the person the kidnapper said was not passing by?"
"No." Zhao Qiang kept looking out of the corner of her eye, "The old man in sportswear...are you kidding me? Which old doctor looks so energetic? Is he bluffing? If that person really wants to find a doctor , might as well just drag one on the street!"
This is not entirely unreasonable. Because the nearest facility is the hospital, and now it’s time to get off work.
"So, is it true that we can't send messages in the reverse direction? You can work around it. After all, little girls react when they are sick. It stands to reason that there should be surveillance equipment that can listen to what we say." Zhao Yi lowered his head and glanced at the bomb on his chest. , breaking into a cold sweat again, "What's the point of waiting like this? I'm really afraid that I might accidentally faint from fright and blow this thing up."
His presence can liven up the atmosphere.
However, at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes.
Although it is difficult for Liang An to remember the faces of strangers, he at least has a certain ability to identify acquaintances he has seen countless times, and his eyes are firmly fixed in the distance.
