At 7:30 in the evening, the setting sun has almost disappeared, and there is still a touch of white on the horizon.
A cordon was set up outside a convenience store in Xiacheng District, and criminal police and special police vehicles were parked in the distance.
A Buick Envision parked outside the crowd. Lu Wan and Peng Yuetao got out of the car, and they squeezed into the crowd and walked into the blockade.
Arriving in front of the command vehicle, Lu Wan suddenly felt the pressure. In addition to Director Bai Yonghui, Mayor Chang Gang was also present.
After greeting the two leaders, Lu Wan looked at Zeng Hao, "What's the situation now?"
Zeng Hao was stunned for a moment. He found a small bruise on the corner of Lu Wan's mouth and a lot of dust on his body. He had obviously fought with someone.
Lu Wan coughed slightly, and Zeng Hao quickly said: "Fan Xing held the convenience store clerk hostage and asked us to clear the streets and let him drive away. He refused any negotiation and only gave us half an hour."
Half an hour ago, Fan Xing left the mahjong parlor, and Zeng Hao and Fu Xingliang drove to follow.
Another news came from the police center. One of Fan Xing's younger brothers surrendered. Fan Xing's crime was briefly mentioned on the phone.
After receiving the alarm, Bai Yonghui demanded that Fan Xing be arrested immediately, and nearby patrol policemen came to support him.
Fan Xing seemed to realize that he was cornered, so he got out of the car and went to the convenience store, drove away the customers in the store, and left the clerk as a hostage.
Lu Wan looked at the SWAT captain Zhang Chengdong again.
"The convenience store has only one entrance and exit, the front entrance. He is hiding behind the innermost shelf. My sniper has already chosen a position. As long as he can move a little bit, I guarantee that he can be killed immediately." Zhang Chengdong said.
Lu Wan asked: "Can I be left alive?"
"He has this." Zhang Chengdong made a pistol gesture to Lu Wan.
"Ensuring the safety of the hostages is the first priority." Chang Gang, who was a few steps away from the two, heard their conversation. It seemed that he was saying it to Bai Yonghui, but in fact he was reminding Lu Wan.
"Understood!" Bai Yonghui said without any explanation, turning back to Zhang Chengdong, "I will agree to his conditions later and prepare the sniper to kill Fan Xing as soon as he walks out of the convenience store."
"Yes!" Zhang Chengdong put on the headset and began to arrange the action.
The surrounding police who helped maintain order also began to evacuate the crowd. According to Fan Xing's request, they needed to clear the streets.
In a hostage-taking incident, it is impossible for the gangsters who want to escape to get into the car alive. In the sights of top snipers, even a moment of omission cannot escape their eyes.
The crowd on the street gradually dispersed, and Lu Wan looked at the convenience store diagonally across the road without saying a word.
Fei Wen must be behind Fan Xing. If he catches Fan Xing, he might be able to find traces of Fei Wen, but she understands better that the safety of the hostages is more important than anything else.
Lu Wan was unwilling to give in, even if there was a chance for her to try it.
"Mayor Chang, Fan Xing is related to a large-scale organ trading gang. Do you think you can let my people try it?"
The speaker was Bai Yonghui, and everyone looked at the two people next to the command car.
Bai Mo and three others were attacked on the way to escort Yang Bing, and a car accident occurred. When the police arrived, Yang Bing's throat was cut, and Bai Mo and three others were unconscious.
The doctor's initial diagnosis was a concussion, Lu Yang injured his neck, Bai Mo injured his leg, and Meng Xiu in the back row was just unconscious.
Bai Yonghui didn't know the results of the further investigation when he came here. In fact, he wanted to capture Fan Xing alive more than anyone else. If Fan Xing died, it would be difficult for the police to kill all Fan Xing's men.
"Old Bai!" Chang Gang patted Bai Yonghui's shoulder and sighed in embarrassment, "This is the second hostage-taking incident this year, and there are also guns. Meihai City is being rated, and I am under pressure It’s also huge. Besides, the first criterion in a hostage situation is the safety of the hostages, and we really can’t take any chances.”
Lu Wan sighed in her heart. She knew that Mayor Chang had always cared about the public security of Meihai City and took great care of the Public Security Bureau.
Under normal circumstances, Mayor Chang might have left directly and handed over the command of the scene to Bureau Bai, which was regarded as a kind of tacit approval.
It is not difficult to see that Mayor Chang is also under great pressure.
At this time, a special police officer quickly ran over from the convenience store door.
"The gangster asked to provide him with a driver, who must be a woman, and the back door of the car must be close to the door, otherwise he will kill someone immediately," the special police said.
Zhang Chengdong frowned and quickly contacted the sniper through the headset to search for a new sniper point. Everyone listened and roughly understood what the two people meant.
If the car is parked outside the door, the current sniper point cannot be shot. There are extended eaves outside the convenience store. According to the sniper's judgment, it is difficult to find a suitable sniper point.
"Ten minutes left!" Fan Xing shouted from across the convenience store.
Chang Gang didn't know how to rescue the hostages, so he asked Zhang Chengdong directly, "You are experienced, what should you do now?"
Zhang Chengdong immediately stood at attention, "Arrange one of your own people to dress up as the driver and try to look for opportunities when getting on the bus. If that doesn't work, drive away and look for opportunities along the way."
"Do you have a female special police officer?" Chang Gang asked.
"Yes!" Zhang Chengdong said, "I will arrange for her to prepare immediately."
"Let Lu Wan go!" Bai Yonghui said suddenly.
Seeing Chang Gang's suspicious look, Bai Yonghui looked at Lu Wan, "She's very accurate with her marksmanship. She carried out hostage rescue operations many years ago."
Being able to become the mayor naturally means he has rich experience. Chang Gang knew Lu Wan, and Bai Yonghui mentioned this female captain to him more than once.
But just now Lu Wan asked if he could be caught alive. Obviously Bai Yonghui was trying to give Lu Wan a chance.
How could Lu Wan not understand the director's intentions? The opportunity she wanted really came.
"Mayor Chang, I promise to complete the task!" Lu Wan immediately expressed his stance.
Chang Gang looked at Zhang Chengdong, who quickly said: "The Army's capabilities are better than those of my female special police officer. She can do the job."
"Hey!" Chang Gang smiled angrily. How could he not see that Zhang Chengdong was also helping Lu Wan?
Nodding helplessly, Chang Gang stared at Lu Wan and said, "I still say what I said, the safety of the hostages must come first."
The implication was that he agreed to let Lu Wan carry out the mission.
Lu Wan forced out a smile and nodded vigorously.
Five minutes later, the entire street was empty of pedestrians. Bai Yonghui and others came to the command vehicle and stared at the screen.
A police SUV parked in front of the convenience store, with its back door close to the store door.
The sniper's voice came from the walkie-talkie in Bai Yonghui's hand, "Team Zhang, our field of vision is completely blocked and we can't shoot."
Regarding what was expected, no one had any emotional fluctuations, and their attention returned to the screen again.
boom!
The sound of a gunshot reached everyone's ears through the open door of the command vehicle.
