Chapter 7 Hostage Exchange
at the same time.
Zhou Xiaoxiao had already arrived in front of the gold store at Gate 2 and looked intently.
Three to five hundred meters away from the gold store, hundreds of melon-eating people gathered around, each one whispering and pointing at the gold store.
Some people with sharp eyes saw Zhou Xiaoxiao in police uniform.
“Hey, everyone, look, the police comrades are here!”
"Very good."
Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned and came to the crowd, waved and said, "Does anyone know what's going on in the gold store now?"
“It’s too dangerous here, don’t gather here!”
People obviously think that a distance of three to five hundred meters is safe. Even if the robbers rush out, they will have enough distance to escape.
No one took Zhou Xiaoxiao’s expulsion seriously.
Zhou Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly. Wherever she goes, there is always a shortage of people who like to watch the excitement.
To put it bluntly, it was the first time for ordinary people like her to encounter armed robbers robbing a gold store.
Several middle-aged aunts walked out of the crowd, pointed to the gold store and said: "Comrade police, we were just planning to go shopping, but when we saw something was wrong, we ran out in the chaos. I know a little bit about the situation."
“Comrade police, my husband is still inside. Please go in and arrest the gangster!” A lady-like woman stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao and begged.
“Comrade police.”
Suddenly, Zhou Xiaoxiao was surrounded by people who escaped from the gold store.
Everyone was talking in a hurry, but Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't understand a word. He waved his hands and said loudly: "Everyone comes one by one. I need to understand the situation in the gold shop now."
After some persuasion from Zhou Xiaoxiao, people calmed down rationally.
Zhou Xiaoxiao finally knew what the situation was like in the gold shop now.
very dangerous!
After sorting through the information provided by people, Zhou Xiaoxiao estimated that there were at least a dozen ordinary people in the gold shop.
“The robber was a strong man, wearing a hood so his face could not be seen clearly. He was holding a 911 pistol and had already fired one shot when he shocked the security.”
“The security guard was shot in the right chest, and he doesn’t know whether he is alive or dead.”
There are wounded!
Zhou Xiaoxiao rationally analyzed the current situation and speculated based on the criminal psychology studied in the police academy.
This is most likely a vicious gangster who did not choose to fire a blank gun to scare the crowd.
Instead, he directly chose to injure the security personnel.
It is enough to show that the other party has not left any escape route for him, and has already prepared for the worst from the moment he hurts someone.
Zhou Xiaoxiao had a lot of cold sweat on her forehead. She had no experience in dealing with this kind of situation.
This is completely different from the situation in textbooks, theory, and acting.
It seems that the way to communicate with the other party to persuade them to surrender has been cut off.
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly confessed the news she learned into the walkie-talkie.
After a brief silence on the intercom, the man's voice changed to a familiar voice.
Director Zhang Zhenghuai said seriously: "Zhou Xiaoxiao, I have roughly understood the situation. You stay where you are and distance yourself from the crowd to avoid greater casualties. The robbers will not be able to escape!"
"Understood!" Zhou Xiaoxiao naturally knew that in today's era, one has to be as stupid as possible to rob a gold store. There is no possibility of escaping. As long as all major roads are blocked, the robbers will not be able to escape.
However, although we are not worried about the robber escaping, we are worried about him losing control of his emotions in an emergency and shooting a large number of hostages!
This is the most difficult problem at present!
Zhou Xiaoxiao reported again: "Director, the life and death of the wounded are unknown now. Do you want to go and confirm the condition of the wounded?"
Zhang Ju thought for a moment and realized Zhou Xiaoxiao's worries. In fact, he was not worried at all about whether the robbers could be caught, because there was no possibility of the robbers escaping. After all, this was not the last century.
After a moment, Director Zhang asked: “According to the witnesses, did the injured injured his chest?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao said solemnly: "Yes, if the chest or lungs are penetrated, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long. If we don't get treatment in time, we won't be able to wait until our support arrives!"
When Zhou Xiaoxiao said this, Zhang Ju on the intercom also fell silent.
Under such a severe situation, time has become the most difficult issue.
“Zhou Xiaoxiao, don’t act rashly, police support is on the way.
Always pay attention to the robber's movements. He will definitely want to escape from the crime scene as much as possible.
There is a downtown area, in order to prevent the robbers from harming the people during their escape.
Don't be irritated in any way, just follow them secretly and report the robbers' movements. "
Zhou Xiaoxiao agreed immediately, and the light in her eyes became more determined.
Zhang Ju took a deep breath:
“I estimate that the robbers will kidnap hostages just to be on the safe side.
While ensuring the safety of the hostages, just wait for police reinforcements to arrive.
At that time, the SWAT colleagues will occupy a favorable commanding height and snipe if necessary! "
"yes!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao naturally knew that this decision would increase the variables in the situation.
But this is also the only way to preserve the hostages to the greatest extent.
…
On the other side, Yida Plaza.
Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at the people behind her, and after saying a few words, she quickly walked to the gold shop, going against the crowd.
“Don’t worry, the Rongyang City police will definitely protect the safety of your family!”
Zhou Xiaoxiao calmed the people and then hurriedly evacuated them.
But at this moment, you could see from a distance that the door of the gold shop was pushed open from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, a robber wearing a hood, carrying a large bag and a gun in his hand, ran out in a hurry.
"ah!"
Seeing the robbers appear, the crowd who had just been calmed broke out into a commotion again.
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly disappeared into the crowd, not wanting to have any conflicts with the robbers here to avoid affecting innocent people.
Anyway, he must not be able to escape, so the first problem is to protect the masses.
The robber had no time to look around at the moment. After coming out of the gold shop, he quickly ran towards the pre-planned route.
Zhou Xiaoxiao also completed the evacuation of the crowd and the robbers had already escaped. She also hurriedly chased after them. While keeping a distance, she also kept telling people around her to leave as soon as possible.
After chasing the robber through several small roads, there were fewer and fewer people around. It was obvious that this was the escape route he had designed to hide himself as much as possible and escape tracking.
Zhou Xiaoxiao has been following closely, but she doesn't dare to take anything lightly.
Finally, the crowd was almost invisible, and the robbers were about to flee.
Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that he could not wait any longer, otherwise he would not be able to be traced, and it would be very likely that he would be completely hidden by then. If the entire city's police force was mobilized to search for him, the consequences would be even more serious.
Immediately, she shouted loudly, picked up a stone and threw it at it, to strike first!
“Don’t move! Police!”
Suddenly he heard a voice behind him, and the robber was startled. He suddenly looked back and saw a big stone coming towards him. He hurriedly avoided it, but he still managed to escape.
Although the robber's expression cannot be clearly seen through the hood, it must be very exciting at this moment.
He never thought that his plan would be so thorough and lasted for more than a month, and that he even used means to destroy the surveillance along the way and on the way to escape, but the police still arrived as soon as possible, which disrupted his plan.
For a moment, he raised his pistol alertly and yelled at Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Don't come over! If you get one step closer, I will shoot!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the black muzzle of the gun, nervous but unwavering.
She pointed the gun at the robber, thinking that no matter what, she would restrain the robber and wait for support to arrive.
But at this moment, something Zhou Xiaoxiao did not expect occurred.
Originally, she thought there would be no crowds on this alley, but at this moment, a child's head popped out of a luxury car next to the robber.
Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly panicked. How could she have expected that there would be a child in the car.
I think it was because the adults went to do errands and left the children alone in the car.
But this is too small!
Sure enough, the robber also discovered him and violently broke the glass immediately and pulled the child out.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the child cried loudly.
Since the robbers kept pointing their guns at the half-grown child, Zhou Xiaoxiao could not find any chance to take action.
With the hostages in hand, the robbers soon became arrogant.
He picked up the child and held it in front of him, then shot Zhou Xiaoxiao viciously...
