"If it were safe to attack by force, I would have ordered the attack long ago. Our police officers may not be able to match those mercenaries one-on-one, but our numbers can crush them."
Signaling everyone in the command center to go out, Cao Dahua lowered his voice and begged Lei Weidong, hoping that he would take action.
"Although the Hong Kong government ordered a storm, it still wants us to ensure the safety of the Cross-Country Tunnel. Although it is not stated explicitly, I know what it means. If the Cross-Harbour Tunnel is destroyed, I, the director, will take the blame. Even if I am not fired, I will resign. , there is no second way to go.”
"If I don't take action, do you want to compromise with Hong Jipeng and let him go, but this will disgrace the police force and you as the director, and of course more importantly.
You can't guarantee that Hong Jipeng won't have a son. If Hong Jipeng runs away and refuses to admit his guilt and still blows up the Red Cross Tunnel, then you will not only have to take the blame, but you may also go to court. "
Lei Weidong chuckled, not leaving any face to Cao Dahua, and expressed all his thoughts.
"As far as I know, Hong Jipeng has a very good relationship with the warlords in the Golden Triangle. He delivers washing powder and arms to them and can easily get helicopters from them.
As I expected, Hong Jipeng's escape route was to use explosives to make the police compromise and let a helicopter come to pick him up. When the time comes, he will go up with his men, several hostages, and the detonator, and then hand the detonator to us outside the safe area.
But the danger involved is too great. If he doesn't hand it over or directly explodes..."
"This is where I hesitate." Cao Dahua nodded and said, "No one can guarantee that Hong Jipeng will keep his word, so you need to take action to take down Hong Jipeng and others. For this reason, I have already made an agreement with the superiors.
You have been an Assistant Director for several years, and it is time to move up a level, from Assistant Director to Senior Assistant Director. "
"Upgraded to a higher level, when?" Lei Weidong's eyes lit up when he heard about the promotion. For him now, only promotion is somewhat attractive to Lei Weidong.
"As long as the Red Cross Tunnel incident is resolved satisfactorily, you will be the Senior Assistant Commissioner. In addition, in recognition of the West Kowloon Police Station's contribution in the hostage incident, after you are promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner.
You can deal with the positions in West Kowloon as you like. If people like Li Ying, Ma Jun, Instructor Hu, and Hui Yinghong can be promoted, they will be promoted. If they cannot be promoted, they will be moved to more important positions, so that everyone can benefit. "
"It sounds good, but the words are better than the songs. Now is the time to use me. After the incident, there is no need to burn bridges. If the police can be relied on, the sow will climb the tree. That's us."
Lei Weidong shrugged and said that there was no basis for what he said and that he had to establish written evidence, otherwise he would be in trouble if he didn't admit his account.
"For others, it is possible to burn bridges by crossing the river, but for you Lei Weidong, not to mention me as the director, even the Hong Kong Governor would not dare to burn bridges by crossing the river." Cao Dahua said angrily,
"You are the richest man in Asia. In Hong Kong, a place where rich people are in charge, even the Governor of Hong Kong will look at your face. I can't guarantee it from the outside, but no one in the police force will not do what they promise you."
"That's right. I am Nan Bowan in the police force." Lei Weidong nodded and admitted that what Cao Dahua said made sense.
"Officer Zhang, come in and tell Officer Lei the location of the two tons of C4 explosives." Seeing Lei Weidong agree to take action, Cao Dahua was very happy. He opened the door and called Zhang Zaishan and others who were waiting for orders outside. .
"Two tons of C4 is a large amount. It is impossible to pick it up by people. It can only be transported by truck. Considering that the robbers used trucks to block the tunnel, it is certain that the C4 is on the truck blocking the road."
Zhang Zaishan pulled up the video from the beginning and pointed at the big truck blocking the tunnel.
"There are trucks in both tunnels. It would be great if we could know which truck the explosives were in." Looking at the surveillance footage, Ma Jun said.
"There are them in both trucks." Zhang Zaishan pointed at the plan of the Red Tunnel tunnel and said, "I guess Hong Jipeng deliberately used two trucks to block the exits on both sides.
Because C4 is directional when it explodes, as long as both sides explode at the same time, the power of the explosion is directed toward the middle of the tunnel at the same time. The two shock waves collide, and the energy generated can cause the tunnel to break. "
"In other words, the key to the success of the attack is to control Hong Jipeng immediately and seize the detonator on him. If it explodes, we will be finished."
After listening to Zhang Zaishan's explanation, Lei Weidong asked.
"Yes, but sir, Hong Jipeng is very cunning. He doesn't leave the detonator behind, and he keeps hiding in the crowd. It's very difficult to snatch the detonator from him.
Unless Hong Jipeng can be lured out, otherwise. "Zhang Zaishan shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the strong attack.
"Li Ying, contact Hong Jipeng and tell him that I went into the tunnel to negotiate with him personally. I went alone. Twenty hours have passed since the hijacking incident and he hasn't received a penny yet. He must be anxious." Lei Weidong ordered.
"Director, let me go negotiate. With my skills, I can definitely capture Hong Jipeng." Hearing that Lei Weidong was about to go out in person to capture Hong Jipeng, Ma Jun, who was worried about his safety, jumped out first.
"Director, let me go."
"No, I'll go!"
Li Ying, Fang Zheng, Guo Haihua, Zhou Xingxing and others all stepped forward to negotiate for Lei Weidong.
"Shut up, everyone!" Lei Weidong shouted loudly, "If you can do it, you don't need me here anymore. Just wait outside for orders."
"yes!"
Although Lei Weidong's words are a bit hurtful, we have to admit that compared to Lei Weidong's record, everyone's performance is much worse. What's more important is that as Lei Weidong's identity, as long as he comes forward, Hong Jipeng will definitely meet him in person and give it to Lei Weidong. The thief from the east has the chance to capture the king first.
If they went to talk, Hong Jipeng would probably let his younger brother go. "
"Zhang Zaishan, contact Hong Jipeng!" Looking at Zhang Zaishan, Lei Weidong ordered.
Hong Jipeng was very happy to hear that Lei Weidong was going to come in personally to negotiate.
One day was about to pass. Because of the signal shielding, Hong Jipeng had no idea what was going on outside. He could only find out what was going on through the phone. Like in the movie, it was impossible to use wireless networks to get information in real time.
He didn't even know whether Yan Guorong paid Hong Jipeng, because Yan Guorong couldn't be contacted at all, and he couldn't check online.
This made Hong Jipeng very panicked, and he was already thinking about how to retreat safely without being pursued by the police. The matter of explosives made the police team uneasy about letting him leave.
it's good now!
Lei Weidong came in personally to negotiate.
This guy's status is much higher than that of Zhang Zaishan. With him as a hostage, even if there is no detonator, the police team will have to use a rat weapon to allow him to evacuate safely.
"Li Ying, in the name of Assistant Director, order you to be the temporary commander of the Hong Kong Island area on site, and Uncle Biao, you will be the temporary commander of the Kowloon area on site. Make all preparations and launch a general attack as soon as you hear the gunshots."
Coming out of the command center and looking at the tunnel entrance not far away, Lei Weidong ordered very seriously, "Instructor Hu, Zhou Xingxing, Ma Jun, you guys, assist Uncle Biao and Li Ying."
"YES! SIR!"
Upon hearing Lei Weidong's order, Li Ying and others quickly stood at attention and saluted.
"Sir Lei, how sure are you?" Cao Dahua couldn't help asking as he watched Lei Weidong arrange the tasks in an orderly manner, even though he knew that Lei Weidong was the top expert in the police force and could fight one against ten.
After all, Lei Weidong is only one person, and there are dozens of robbers to deal with. Even with outside support, he is still outnumbered and very dangerous. If the bullets don't have long eyes, failure will be troublesome.
"Ten percent!"
Looking at the tunnel entrance not far away, Lei Weidong held out the victory symbol with his finger, his tone showing contempt for Hong Jipeng and others, as if they were not terrorists, but cattle and sheep for slaughter.
"Look, it's Sir Lei, Sir Lei is out."
"Yes, it's Sir Lei. Why is he walking towards the tunnel? Is that possible?"
"Maybe we need to negotiate with the robbers. Quick, the camera is on Sir Lei. This is big news!"
When Lei Weidong walked out of the crowd and walked toward the tunnel alone, there was an uproar at the scene, and all the cameras were focused on him.
Many people know that even though the biggest official at the scene is Police Commissioner Cao Dahua, in fact the person actually commanding the operation is Lei Weidong, who is known as the crime nemesis.
Even though he is just an assistant director, his prestige has far surpassed that of the director.
During this period, everyone has been expecting Lei Weidong to take action to rescue the hostages in the tunnel. However, twenty hours have passed and the police team still has not taken any action. They are just confronting the robbers outside, and Lei Weidong has not even shown his face.
Now, Lei Weidong is about to take action. Everyone hopes that he can cut through the mess quickly and be rescued by the hostages in the tunnel.
"You are Lei Weidong, the Commissioner of West Kowloon Police Station and the richest man in Hong Kong. The one who talked to me on the phone." Looking at Lei Weidong who remained calm despite being pointed at more than a dozen guns, Hong Jipeng felt that the police were playing a trick on him. .
Who is Lei Weidong? In addition to being the boss of the police force, he is also the richest man in the camera. He is a big capitalist. It is said that the blood of big capitalists is cold. How can such a person risk his life and negotiate with him alone? The sun comes out from the west.
"It's me." Lei Weidong nodded, took two steps forward, and was less than ten steps away from Hong Jipeng. At the same time, he turned on the detection technology to determine the location of the gangsters and hostages in the tunnel.
"Hong Jipeng, don't think about Yan Guorong giving you money. I arrested that guy early this morning. Not only has he become a pauper, he is also in prison waiting for legal approval. With his crime, at least You have to squat for twenty years.
As for you, Hong Jipeng, I advise you to surrender. If you surrender now, I can spare your lives. I, Lei Weidong, will never break my word. "
"Are you sick? It's you, not me, who is being pointed at by a dozen guns."
Lei Weidong's words made Hong Jipeng's face darken. He was sprayed with smoke by Lei Weidong on the phone, thinking that a thunderbolt would fall from the sky and take it away.
Now that they were face to face, I found that Lei Weidong's mouth smelled worse than I thought, so he sprayed it on me. This guy didn't even consider the situation at the scene. Now that he had the upper hand, he could kill him with just a move of his hands.
"What's the use of being pointed at a gun? Do you dare to shoot?" Lei Weidong shrugged, confronting Hong Jipeng's entire criminal group alone, "I already gave the order outside.
If you dare to hurt me even a hair, the police force will launch a strong attack and send you, you, and you all to see the King of Hell. "
That's what it says.
In order to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter, Lei Weidong covered his whole body with personal space. Not to mention the guns pointed at him, even if Hong Jipeng pressed the detonator in his hand and 2 tons of C4 exploded, it would have no effect on Lei Weidong.
"If you come in and attack, you won't be afraid that I will blow up the tunnel." Hong Jipeng gestured to the detonator in his hand and said with a smile.
"That thing is just a decoration. It's meant to scare people. Do you dare to press it? If you press it, you will both die. I don't say whether you are happy or not, but your subordinates are definitely not happy. They follow you to make money, not to die.
Don't forget that there is no death penalty in Xiangjiang. No matter how many people are killed, they will not eat peanuts. It is better to die than to live, and to serve in prison is worse than to die.
"You!" Lei Weidong's words shocked Hong Jipeng.
I have to say that Lei Weidong was right. Hong Jipeng came to Xiangjiang to make money, not to fight for his life. He had to wait until he left before blowing up the tunnel.
"Don't forget, I still have hostages, aren't you afraid that I will kill them?" Looking at the expressions on the faces of the brothers on the left and right, Hong Jipeng knew that threatening with bombs was useless if he dared to press the button.
They were the first ones to react. They were all mercenaries who came to make money, not their brothers who had experienced life and death. There is only another way to threaten.
"The role of a hostage is to threaten, not to massacre. If you kill too many, you will get the opposite. Hong Jipeng, don't forget my identity. If I am injured, do you think the police outside will go crazy? If you want to surrender, you will have no chance." ." Lei Weidong hummed.
"Why did the negotiator who came in feel so stupid that he directly started fighting with the robbers." Huang Tiannuo's father, retired policeman Lao Huang, couldn't help but said as he looked at Lei Weidong who was arguing with the robbers in the distance.
The hostages in the tunnel were very concerned about the police sending people in to negotiate.
The nearly twenty hours of detention made them nervous, always thinking about the police rushing in to rescue them. Finally, a negotiator finally came in, wondering if the gangsters could release some hostages.
As a result, the police officers who came to negotiate were so tough and unreasonable that the hostages were left crying.
"Old Huang, please lower your body. This person is not the negotiator. He is Lei Weidong from West Kowloon." Brother Zhao is an old man from Wan Chai. Lei Weidong met him several times when he was the deputy director of Wan Chai.
Knowing that Lei Weidong was powerful, he reminded Lao Huang and others to lower their bodies, as there might be a hail of bullets soon.
People want face and trees want bark. When they heard that Lei Weidong had come in, Lao Huang and others were very happy, especially Lao Huang, who wanted to avenge his son, and was even more excited.
Touching the watch given by his son on his wrist, Lao Huang couldn't help but shed tears.
"Lao Hong, I'm not scared. I want to see if it's your mouth or the bullet that's tougher." Hong Jipeng said and raised the micro punch in his hand.
