Jiangning City is a county-level city.
In the morning, the most prosperous cross street in Jiangning City was crowded with people. The doors of various shops and units were open, and they were all selling goods and doing business.
Only one bank had its door closed, which made everyone who came to do business feel confused.
"Isn't the bank open at this time?" Many people gathered outside the bank, one of them asked.
Everyone else shook their heads, obviously not knowing why the bank was not open at this time.
At this moment, the closed door of the bank was suddenly opened, and a blood-stained man ran out from inside. He shouted loudly as he ran for his life: "Someone is robbing the bank, call the police..."
This man was wearing a security uniform and must be a bank security guard.
But before the security guard finished shouting, a masked man suddenly jumped out of the bank behind him. He pointed a submachine gun at the security guard.
The security guard didn't even scream. He fell to the ground and died instantly, blood soaking the road.
"Ah", the workers and the people on the street were all ordinary people. They had never seen such a bloody scene. They were instantly in chaos, and they were screaming and running for their lives.
After the masked man killed the security guard, he quickly fled back to the bank.
The sound of gunfire also attracted the traffic police on duty nearby. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were frightened. Such a vicious case had never happened in the small city of Jiangning.
But they are the police after all. After understanding the situation, they immediately called the police.
Five minutes later, the first group to arrive at the scene was a SWAT team assault vehicle.
Just when the special police arrived at the scene, four masked men rushed out of the bank. Each of them was carrying heavy packages, presumably robbery money.
As soon as the two sides met, they opened fire at the same time. Because the SWAT police had a police car as a bunker, the robbers had no place to hide and had no choice but to retreat to the bank.
As the four robbers retreated into the bank, shouts of fear immediately came from inside, and then the bank's rolling shutter door fell to block the special police who tried to rush in.
The leader of the special police team this time was Captain Xiao Qiang. When he saw the robbers returning to the bank, he knew that there were hostages inside and could not rush out.
He immediately reported it to his superiors, and various police departments including the police station, criminal police team, security brigade, and traffic police rushed to the scene.
Finally, Dai Raofeng, director of the Jiangning Municipal Bureau, also arrived.
The traffic police, in cooperation with other police forces, evacuated the crowd, blocked the scene, and prohibited pedestrians and vehicles from approaching.
When Dai Raofeng was listening to the report from Xiao Qiang and others, he saw the body of the bank security guard lying on the spot, and his face turned livid.
"The four robbers all had their faces covered and were armed with heavy weapons. We just exchanged fire with them. The robbers had very strong firepower!" Xiao Qiang briefly reported to Dai Raofeng.
"None of the bank staff or business people came out. The robbers obviously regarded them as hostages." The person in charge of the security brigade also reported.
Dai Raofeng nodded. He instructed his subordinates to report to their superiors and request support. At the same time, he dispatched armed police and asked his subordinates to get him bulletproof vests.
"I'm going to talk to the robber!"
Dai Raofeng put on his bulletproof vest and said to his subordinates.
"Dai Ju, will there be any danger?" Xiao Qiang asked worriedly.
Dai Raofeng waved his hands, put on his bulletproof vest, raised his hands, walked towards the bank, and shouted at the same time: "I am Dai Raofeng, the chief of the Jiangning City Police Department, can I talk to you?"
As Dai Raofeng walked towards the bank gate, many policemen behind him became nervous and worried for Dai Raofeng.
"Everyone, can we talk? You can make demands if you want, but I hope you will release the hostages."
Dai Raofeng had systematically learned negotiation skills and had done negotiation work before, so his tone was neither slow nor hasty, as if he had no hostility toward the robbers.
It even felt like I was thinking about the robbers.
Ordinary people would definitely lose their vigilance after hearing such a tone, and even start talking to Dai Raofeng because of it.
But unfortunately, the robbers Dai Raofeng encountered today were by no means ordinary people. They did not respond to Dai Raofeng's words, and they responded with a hail of submachine gun bullets.
The bullets struck the ground paved with stone bricks, creating bright sparks and a sharp impact.
"Fuck you, give us a bullet-proof vehicle within half an hour. If you don't give it, we will kill someone every ten minutes!" One of the robbers inside yelled arrogantly.
"Everyone, we can give you a bulletproof vehicle, but I still want to talk to you..."
Dai Raofeng's expression changed slightly when the robber cursed him, but he immediately returned to normal and still tried to negotiate with the robber.
"Talk about your grandma's performance. There are still twenty-nine minutes until half an hour. When the time is up and there is no car, we will kill someone."
The robber inside the bank once again fired a round of bullets through the gap in the rolling shutter door.
The bullet hit Dai Raofeng in front of him, preventing him from getting close to the bank door.
"Damn it!"
Dai Raofeng couldn't help but turn pale when he saw that this group of robbers was unable to get in. After thinking for a while, he finally did not move forward, but retreated in defeat.
"Dai Ju, these robbers are determined to resist us, what should we do now?"
Xiao Qiang asked immediately when he saw Dai Raofeng returning without success.
Dai Raofeng's expression was stern, and he asked: "How long will it take for the armed police to arrive?"
"It should be there within five minutes." Xiao Qiang replied immediately.
Dai Raofeng nodded, looked at the heads of various departments, and then whispered: "When the armed police arrive, we will discuss whether it is possible to attack by force? This group of robbers is definitely not simple, and it is probably not the first time they have committed a crime."
Xiao Qiang and others were shocked and nodded.
As veteran police officers, they know how difficult it is to storm.
But the robbers were not willing to negotiate at all. They opened their mouths to avoid bullets. They obviously had experience in the world and were not like ordinary robbers.
For such robbers, a force attack may be the only way out, but once a force attack occurs, the hostages will inevitably be damaged.
For a moment, everyone's hearts were heavy, including Dai Raofeng.
"The bank manager is here."
When Dai Raofeng heard this, he turned around and saw a man in a suit in his forties running over with a pale face.
"How many staff members do you have in there?"
Dai Raofeng asked the manager right away.
"Report to Bureau Dai, there are staff in the bank...seven people, among whom the person in charge is a deputy manager named Hong..." the manager stammered in reply.
Robbers robbing a bank, this is simply a fantasy for the manager of a small place. Unexpectedly, the plot that I only saw on TV and movies in the past actually happened around me.
This scared the manager to death.
"How many customers are there? Do you know?" Dai Raofeng asked again with a frown.
"I don't know, but according to past experience, there are at least dozens of customers at this time." The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.
"so many people?"
When Dai Raofeng heard this, his expression suddenly changed. With so many hostages, if the attack was inappropriate, the consequences would be serious. Not only would his position as director be in jeopardy, but the county government and higher-level police agencies would also be dealt with.
"Do you have a detailed map of the bank's internal institutions?" Dai Raofeng suppressed his worry and continued to ask the manager.
"Yes, yes, I brought it."
The manager immediately took out a folded map from his pocket and handed it to Dai Raofeng.
Dai Raofeng immediately spread the map flat on the front cover of the police car, and began to study it with Xiao Qiang and others.
At this moment, the captain of the traffic police brigade came over, his face pale.
"What's wrong?" Dai Raofeng asked coldly when he saw that he was hesitant to speak.
"Bureau Dai, there is one of our traffic police comrades in the bank." The traffic police captain said with an ugly face.
"Is there one of our comrades?" Dai Raofeng's face became even more ugly when he heard that there was a policeman among the hostages.
"Yes, his name is Su Yan. He just went to work today. Just now I heard from my subordinates that he went to the bank to do business." The traffic police captain said worriedly.
