The hostage-taking incident alarmed the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters and the Malay Federal Government 20 kilometers away. The Kuala Lumpur Chief of Police sensed the scene immediately, followed by the director of the Malay National Counter-Terrorism Office and anti-terrorism experts from the army, as well as the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Misbah.
Not far behind the police explosion-proof vehicle, these people held an emergency combat meeting to discuss how to deal with the terrorists in the shopping mall building.
"There are nine terrorists in the mall. They have controlled the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors and have taken a total of 79 hostages." Chief Superintendent Maiaki made an anxious report.
"When will our anti-terrorist troops arrive?"
"We are already on the way. Where are the cameras in the mall? We need to confirm the location of the hostages and the terrain of the mall building. Where are the contractors who built this building? Find them. I need the drawings of the building." Looking at it. For the map provided by the person in charge of the shopping mall, the anti-terrorism expert frowned, "This thing is useless."
This kind of map for tourists doesn't even mark the location of surveillance, let alone the load-bearing structure of the building. Not knowing where the load-bearing structure is, they have to rely on their own intuition to judge the amount of explosives and risks when they encounter a place that requires blasting, which undoubtedly increases the risk of the operation.
"We have already contacted the construction contractor, and they said they will send the drawings within half an hour. The location of the hostages... This is a bit difficult to handle." Maiaki said sweating profusely.
"Is it difficult?" Ghaffar, the director of the Anti-Terrorism Office, frowned.
"The other party obviously had a careful plan. Not only did they cut off the power supply of the building, but they also cut off all connections between the monitoring lines and the outside world. All we can see here is white snow..." the person in charge of the shopping mall building said with a wry smile.
These terrorists were obviously well prepared.
Chief of Staff Misbah looked at his watch, looked in the direction of the Hilton Hotel, took a deep breath and walked to Gaffar.
"Listen, I need you to solve this problem in the shortest time and in the cleanest way."
Ghaffar immediately shook his head: "The shortest time? Stop talking nonsense. There are 79 hostages inside, unless Mr. Prime Minister is willing to take responsibility for the safety of the hostages' lives."
Misbah lowered his voice: "I know this is difficult to handle, but there are foreign guests in the Hilton Hotel next door, and they are of a very high level."
"Foreign guest? What foreign guest?" Jafar frowned.
"You should know who the rich man is in New Matt District, even if I don't name him. And just now, he and the Prime Minister negotiated a big deal involving more than 1 billion US dollars, related to power projects and TN Company. ." Misbah took a deep breath and glanced in the direction of the mall, "We can't let you have concerns about our investment environment. We must resolve this hostage crisis in the shortest possible time, otherwise... someone will definitely have to stand up in the end. Come out and take charge.”
Jafar's scalp felt numb and he couldn't help but curse.
"Why did these damn scum choose this time and this place!"
"You can wait until you catch those bastards to ask this question, if you can capture the prisoners." Sighing, Misbah looked at his watch again, and then looked at the chief police officer, "Someone has to comfort the foreign guests. Emotions. At least let them know that this is just an accident and does not represent the entire Malaysian public security environment... "
…
This is the 21st floor of the Hilton Hotel, overlooking the entire scene. Jiang Chen moved a chair over and sat by the glass window of the balcony, watching the confrontation between police and criminals with great interest.
This is much more interesting than watching a movie.
The police placed the police car across the entrance of the shopping mall, holding a pistol and squatting nervously behind the police car serving as a cover. Police officers wearing body armor and holding loudspeakers huddled behind explosion-proof vehicles to shout to the robbers in the mall.
The Kuala Lumpur police opened the yellow seal and evacuated the crowd on the street. The entire street was urgently blocked, including the entrance to the Hilton Hotel.
I have to say that there are still many people who are not afraid of death.
Outside the cordon, a dense crowd formed a circle. In addition to reporters from news newspapers, many citizens were also holding up their mobile phones to take pictures. With so many cameras pointed at them, the police officers looked a little confused. This is a big city in Southeast Asia. Such a serious hijacking incident would make international headlines!
Jiang Chen called the bodyguard standing guard at the door of the room downstairs and asked him to go downstairs and ask what happened there.
Not far away, a confrontation between the police and the gangsters broke out in Jiang Chen. The hostages in the mall made them jealous, and the demands made by the gangsters were unacceptable to them.
Soon, the bodyguard called back and reported the situation downstairs to Jiang Chen.
In short, those gangsters were not ordinary gangsters at all, but terrorists equipped with automatic weapons and body armor. A total of 79 hostages were taken hostage in the mall, most of whom were mall staff and some shopping tourists. The gangsters demanded that the police immediately release 110 prisoners detained on suspicion of planning and participating in terrorist attacks. If you don't start releasing people after five hours, kill one person every hour.
Of course it is impossible for the Malay government to release those prisoners.
If we set a precedent for compromising with terrorists, will there be no end to it in the future? Moreover, the terrorists in the mall obviously had no intention of escaping. They were afraid that one second they would confirm the safety of their accomplices, and the next second they would explode on the spot.
The Malay police were helpless and could only request reinforcements from the anti-terrorism force stationed in Kuala Lumpur. Soon two armored vehicles drove onto the street, two Black Hawk helicopters hovered near the mall, and anti-terrorism troops wearing black combat uniforms arrived at the scene and surrounded the mall building.
There seems to be no new action
Jiang Chen yawned, and just as he was about to go back to the house, his watch vibrated twice.
Clicking on the holographic screen, the bodyguard standing guard at the door appeared on the screen.
"The prime minister's chief of staff Misbah and Kuala Lumpur police chief Maiyaki are at the door and they wish to visit you."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then understood their purpose, and nodded.
"Let him in."
"Yes." The bodyguard wearing sunglasses nodded and ended the communication.
Soon, the entrance door opened, and a tall, thin man with a European face in a suit walked in. Behind him was an Asian man in a police uniform.
Entering the house, Misbah spoke first with an apology on his face.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry that we have to meet again in this way. There was a hijacking incident in the shopping mall building opposite. We are sorry that our work errors have affected your travel. If you have any arrangements to go out at night, we can Arrange for armored vehicles to escort you from the door to the cordon."
"No need. I understand your difficulties very well, and I sincerely hope that the hostages in the mall will be safe and sound." The chief of staff apologized sincerely, and Jiang Chen did not make things difficult for him, expressing himself in an easy-going way. Don't care.
But at this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the police chief behind him.
His eyes moved slightly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, so he smiled and said.
"Can I ask if the situation of the hostages in the shopping mall building is okay now?"
Mai Yaqi's heart thumped, and he secretly thought that Mr. Jiang indeed asked about this matter.
After asking all the questions, he couldn't help but answer, so he bit the bullet and said, "The situation is now under control. After the anti-terrorist troops arrive, we will launch a rescue operation soon. It's just that the monitoring system-"
Misbah glared at Maiaki, and the sergeant immediately realized that he had spoken too much and quickly shut his mouth.
Although the police chief quickly shut up, Jiang Chen had already heard the information he wanted to hear.
Smiling and nodding, Jiang Chen looked at Mr. Chief of Staff and said.
"Monitoring? I wonder if our Star Ring Trade can help you." (.)
