Chapter 1429: A deal without integrity
15 minutes later, on the 5th ramp of Hailan city’s South outer ring overpass.
The police had already cordoned off the entire area. Criminal Police, special police, bomb disposal police, and even the bomb disposal team were all present. They were on high alert and surrounded a Blue Business car that was parked on the ramp.
Because there were bullets in the car, the police officers kept a certain distance from the car and didn’t dare to approach it without permission.
After all, the identity of the hostage in the car was no small matter. The police officers were all extremely nervous, afraid that the hostage would be lost.
As Miao Ying’s rank was the highest, she was in charge of all the tasks at the scene.
At this moment, Miao Ying was observing the movement in the van with a far infrared scanner, while looking down at the bridge, anxiously waiting for something.
Through the infrared scan, it could be seen that there were a total of four people in the car, one in the driver’s seat and three in the back seat.
It was obvious that the person in the driver’s seat was the killer Liang Yiwen, and the people in the back seats were all hostages.
“Tsk, tsk … What are you waiting for, team leader? Do you want me to give him a call?” At this time, Ran Tao, who was sitting on the side, also said,”there are only a few minutes left. If we can’t bring the person here, it will be troublesome!”
“Don’t worry, I understand Zhao Yu. He knows what he’s doing!” Miao Ying said, but she was also anxious.
Before this, she had already planned several rescue plans, but none of them were ideal. At present, there was no safe way to ensure the safety of the hostage.
At this moment, she was considering whether she should send a group of snipers on the scene in case of emergency. Although the car was bulletproof and a sniper would be useless, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents at the scene …
However, just as she was weighing her options, police sirens suddenly sounded under the bridge. She looked down and saw more than a dozen police cars driving over.
Most of the police cars were black, and they were special police vehicles. Only the two in the middle were white.
Soon, two white police cars met up with the checkpoint under the bridge and finally drove up the ramp, heading towards the scene of the incident. They arrived in front of Miao Ying in the blink of an eye.
As the door of a nearby car opened, cui Lizhu quickly got out of the car and ran to Miao Ying to report,
“Team leader Miao, I’ve brought them here.” Cui Lizhu pointed to the back seats of the two cars, where the two killers were handcuffed. Then, she opened the front passenger seat and took out a square box.”Here, I brought the skull too!”
“What?” Miao Ying looked around and asked,”where are the others? Where’s Zhao Yu?”
“Oh … Wu Xiumin, stay behind.” Cui Lizhu pointed to the police car under the bridge and said,”boss is down there. He said that he has something to do!”
“What’s the matter? is there anything more urgent than this? He couldn’t have thought of something, right?” Miao Ying mumbled to herself, then turned to cui Lizhu and said,”alright, since it’s time, let’s not wait for him. Let’s get these two out of the car first!”
Di di … Di di …
Just as Miao Ying gave the order, a mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She could not help but look nervous and quickly put the mobile phone in front of her eyes.
The phone was Liang perseverance ‘s. Because the number was synchronized with Zhao Yu’s phone, Miao Ying could also hear the contents of the call.
Whoosh …
As someone pressed the answer button, Zhao Yu’s voice immediately came out of the microphone.
“Hey, I’ve brought you the person and the skull,” Zhao Yu said to the person on the phone.”Next, it’s time to exchange hostages, right?”
“Hmph, fine …” Liang Weiyi’s cold voice sounded from the other end of the phone.”Bring him to the front, I need to verify his identity!” He ordered.
“Tsk, it’s just two assassins. Do you still suspect that I’m faking it?” Zhao Yu said,”alright, I’ll watch it!”
When cui Lizhu heard Zhao Yu’s words, she immediately opened the doors of the two police cars. Together with the police officers on duty, they escorted the two killers, lakong and abikula, out.
The two of them looked dispirited and listless. Because they didn’t know what was happening in front of them, they seemed a little dumbfounded.
“Hmm …” On the other end of the phone, Liang Weiyi paused for a moment, as if he was carefully observing the hostage. After a long while, he said,”next, let me look at the skull!”
“It can’t be?” Zhao Yu’s usual angry voice came from the phone.”You don’t think that we are using a fake skeleton to fool you, do you?
“Putting our living person in danger for a dead person’s head? You really are something! Good!” Zhao Yu said delightedly,”I’ll open it for you now. Feel free to check the goods!”
After Zhao Yu said this, cui Lizhu quickly picked up the square box, went to the van, opened the box, and took out the skull.
After all, the skull was the remains of a dead person. The police officers had never seen a dead person exchange a hostage with a dead person’s remains, which made the atmosphere at the scene a little strange.
However, everyone’s attention was focused on the MPV. No one noticed that in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, a police officer wearing an explosion-proof police uniform was whispering something.
The man was wearing an Anti-Riot Helmet, so others couldn’t see his face clearly. Because he was far away from the others, no one could hear him whispering into the headphones on the corner of his mouth.
“Hmm … Okay,” the man said as he observed the situation around the van. He then stared at the skull in cui Lizhu’s hand and said coldly,”next, we’ll start exchanging hostages. You let the two of them get into the van with the skull, and then I’ll release all three hostages!”
Hailan city had a tropical climate and the weather was hot. However, this person’s words carried an indescribable coldness that made people shiver.
That’s right, the person who was disguised as an riot police was none other than the Assassin’s backbone, Liang willpower!
As it turned out, Liang Weiyi wasn’t even in the car, and the person in the driver’s seat was just a scapegoat that he had randomly caught.
He tied a bomb to the man’s mouth and threatened him to follow his instructions, or the bomb would explode!
This was all part of Liang Weiwen’s elaborate plan. From the start, he had no intention of showing his face.
The video call he had with Zhao Yu earlier was also a cover-up. He had recorded a video in advance, so that Zhao Yu would think that he and the hostage were in the MPV.
But in fact, in his video call with Zhao Yu, the video only played a recording, while the audio was his real life speech, so he was sure that Zhao Yu wouldn’t see any flaws.
In this case, the police would think that he was in the van and ignore everything else.
Thus, using the remote control as a hostage, Liang Weiyi first asked the van driver to throw the box with the bomb out of the van and cause an explosion to demonstrate to the police.
Then, he threatened the driver to park the car at the designated location to draw the police over. After that, he used the explosion-proof police uniform he had prepared in advance to blend into the police team. He entered the scene without attracting anyone’s attention.
During this time, he even asked the driver to make a phone call gesture to distract the police so that they would be more convinced that the person in the van was him.
Thus, this was a trade without integrity. Liang Weiwen’s goal wasn’t to release the hostages at all, but to slowly realize his plan.
“That won’t do.” Sure enough, after Liang Weiyi suggested exchanging the hostages, Zhao Yu immediately objected.”I’ll give you the hostages and the skulls. What if you don’t let her go?”
“Well then …” Zhao Yu’s words were exactly what Liang Weiwen wanted. Liang Weiwen said coldly,”in that case, I’ll show my sincerity first. Let’s exchange a hostage first. You let la Kong get on the car, and I’ll release one. Then, we’ll exchange for the others!”
“Hmm … That’s a good idea,” Zhao Yu thought for a moment, then said,”alright, we’ll do as you say. Let’s exchange one first!”
Hearing Zhao Yu’s words, Liang Weiyi’s mouth curved up slightly, showing a fierce and proud look.
Then, he reached out and pulled out a black electronic object-it was the red mist bomb’s detonator!
It turned out that Liang Weiwen had no intention of exchanging hostages. In his plan, as soon as la Kong entered the van, he would immediately detonate the red mist bomb!
