After half an hour of wrangling, they finally agreed to release fifty people.
There were nearly thirty wounded, many of whom were dying. It was difficult to fight for the other hostages, but who wouldn't be eager to take the remaining twenty
The criminals were also very cunning and said, "We will select the twenty most cooperative people and release them."
What does the best cooperation mean
A guy who betrays others.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out and pointed at the retired criminal police uncle and said, "I don't know what he and that man are doing secretly."
That man is a soldier with outstanding temperament.
Jian Jing took a breath and almost vomited blood.
The gangster sneered and ignored the informer. He first hit the retired uncle on the back of his head with the butt of his gun, then pointed the gun barrel at the soldier's head and asked him: "(French) What do you think, do I dare to shoot?"
The atrium was silent.
Everyone held their breath unconsciously, fearing that they would be dragged into trouble.
The soldier said calmly: "(English) I didn't do anything. If you want to kill me, you don't need to make excuses."
"(French) You have guts." The criminal said fiercely, "Then go and die."
Zongye immediately stood up: "(in French) Please wait, that's a lie. I believe he has no intention of resisting. The wounded are already serious enough."
The criminal's attention was immediately drawn to him, and he asked indifferently: "(French) Are you ordering me?"
"(French) It's just a suggestion." Zongye raised his hand, indicating that he had no resistance. "He was a British traveler and had no relationship with the French government. Why take the risk? Moreover, his death would create unnecessary international disputes."
The last sentence moved the robbers. They hesitated for a moment and did not shoot. Instead, they hit the man on the head with the butt of the gun, knocking him unconscious. They then tied the other hostages (him and the retired policeman) to a pillar.
"(English) Anyone who dares to resist will suffer the consequences," the gangster warned bluntly.
The adults dared not say anything, but the baby did not understand and was disturbed by the noise, so he started crying regardless. His mother broke down and coaxed him while crying: "(Italian) Stop it, please."
The female doctor took the opportunity to say: "(French) Please send the children away. They are of no use and will only cause trouble."
"(French) Don't talk." the gangster shouted.
Finally, the chieftain spoke up: "(French) Let the kids go, they are making so much noise."
There were about two dozen babies and children, and every parent begged desperately, hoping that their child would be chosen.
"(French) My child is only six years old, let her go."
"(French) Please, the child is innocent. I am willing to stay."
Unfortunately, the number of places was limited, and in the end, several older children, aged seven or eight, were left behind, curled up in their parents' arms in despair, not moving at all.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
After the first batch of hostages were released, the criminals wanted by the criminals were also taken out of the prison.
The criminals demanded that they release the prisoners and wait until the prisoners contacted them and were confirmed to be safe before releasing the second batch of hostages.
The people outside also agreed and asked for some water to be sent in.
The criminal agreed, but rejected the other party's suggestion to send someone in, saying that he would send a hostage to pick him up.
Who to choose
Men can’t do that, as they might run away as soon as they reach the door. Being too alert can’t do that, as they may make small movements. Being too panic-stricken can’t do that either, as they may not even be able to stand up and can’t do anything.
"(English) Go."
Among the vast crowd, Jian Jing was chosen.
She showed the expected surprise and helplessness, and shrank for a moment, but because she was afraid, she did not dare to retreat. She stood up tremblingly, her body shaking slightly.
is the most brilliant acting.
Not only did the criminals not suspect her, they also remembered her obedient face and recalled it immediately. After a closer look, they found that she had a youthful and tender face and was not very tall. The burly man among the gang could lift her with one hand, which perfectly demonstrated what harmlessness meant.
"(English) I'll go for her." Kang Mucheng held her back and stood up to stop her.
The gangster said indifferently: "Get out of here!" As he spoke, he kicked him.
Jian Jing immediately leaned over to him, and the two of them just avoided a kick. She looked panicked, as if she was afraid that the criminal would hurt her companions if they disagreed with her, and she hurriedly said, "(English) I'll go, I'll go."
As he said this, he pinched Kang Mucheng hard to tell him to shut up, but two tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes, revealing his owner's indescribable fear.
Kang Mucheng had no choice but to swallow his original words. The worry in his eyes was genuine: "Be careful."
Jian Jing gave him a reassuring look.
The criminal pointed a gun at her and ordered her to walk slowly to the east door. Then, the curtain was pulled up, revealing a glass door, and outside were fully armed police and a cart.
The cart was filled with bread, milk and mineral water.
Jian Jing walked over slowly and saw a group of armed police outside. A delivery boy in a vest pushed his cart carefully.
"(French) Put it there." The gangster refused to let anyone get close.
The delivery guy stopped and stepped back obediently.
"(English) , go ahead." The gangster waved his gun, "Don't make any small moves."
Jian Jing's face turned pale and she nodded as she moved closer.
There were many cardboard boxes on the cart, all of which were small and could not be used to hide. The criminals simply ordered her to open each box and make sure there were no hidden traps or drugs before letting her push the things in.
Jian Jing worked very slowly. Although the other party was not satisfied with her dawdling, it was obvious that she was gritting her teeth and trying hard. He also knew that girls were petty and could not work fast, so he barely suppressed his anger.
Food was brought into the atrium.
One of the gangsters randomly picked one, threw it to Jian Jing, and ordered coldly: "Eat it."
Jian Jing did as she was told.
The taste is average. However, I haven't had lunch yet, and now it's getting dark. If I don't eat something to replenish my energy, I will have to steal the food in the storage compartment.
She ate the bread in no time and drank a bottle of milk randomly, without any signs of anything unusual.
The criminals then believed that there was nothing wrong with the food and took some.
But they had no intention of giving food to the hostages.
The remaining child smelled the aroma and couldn't help but say to his father: "(French) Dad, I'm hungry."
The father could not bear to see his child starving, so he begged: "(French) Can you give my child some bread?"
The criminals starved the hostages mainly to save money and avoid any bad things happening after they were full. Whether or not they fed the children would not change the overall situation.
The big leader was too lazy to pay attention to them, and the female gangster took charge and gave the children bread and milk.
Children understand and want to give it to their parents. Adults don't dare to do anything wrong, for fear of being misunderstood by criminals, and coax children: "Mom/Dad is not hungry, eat it."
Amid the aroma of bread, the sky gradually darkened and the lights automatically turned on at the appointed time.
Jian Jing looked up unexpectedly and made eye contact with Zong Ye.
Then, she gently called the gangster next to her and pleaded fearfully and awkwardly, "Can we go to the toilet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people looked at him expectantly.
It's quite suffocating not to go to the toilet for five or six hours.
The criminals were not angry, as everyone has physiological needs. They took some hostages and solved the troubles that followed.
Of course, they could disagree, but if the hostages couldn't hold it in and defecated, it would make a smelly mess and the guards' job would become uncomfortable.
Considering that Jian Jing's performance was not bad, he reluctantly agreed. It was not cost-effective to take one person with him each time, so he simply asked, "Who else wants to go? Let's go in groups of three."
The former female doctors and nurses signed up immediately.
The female criminal took them to the bathroom.
On the way, the female nurse whispered to the female doctor: "(English) We must find a way."
The female doctor glanced at the gangster behind her and lowered her voice: "(English) What's your idea?"
Female nurse: "(English) We can pass on information to the outside."
The female doctor's face was full of surprise: "(English) How did you do that? No, no, this is too crazy." She glanced at the gangster warily and didn't dare to talk to her anymore.
The female nurse was unwilling to give up, so she quietly approached Jian Jing and asked, "What are your plans?"
Jian Jing: "Play?"
"I mean." The female nurse slowed down her speech and used the simplest sentence, "What you want do I can help you with."
Jian Jing gave him a strange look and replied, "WC."
The female nurse stopped talking.
The restroom in the shopping mall is decorated magnificently, with famous brand perfumes casually placed on the washbasin, emitting a subtle fragrance.
The place was small, and the female criminal saw no way out, so she said indifferently: "(English) Five minutes."
Jian Jing quickly went to the toilet.
At the same time, draw cards.
[Card drawing in progress]
[Extraction completed]
[Name: Item Card: Powerful Anesthesia Needle (3/3)]
[Content description: It takes effect only after contact with the skin and injection, and it takes effect instantly. An adult can be unconscious for 3 hours. The shelf life is 1 hour, and it is invalid after the expiration date]
[Note: Dangerous item, use with caution]
Jian Jing couldn't help but think that if she added a voice-changing bow, a skateboard and a football, she would be able to complete the Edogawa Conan crime-solving set.
To be honest, I really want it.
So practical.
She jumped lightly to the edge of the toilet. Coincidentally, the female nurse chose the middle position, with an empty cubicle between her and the toilet.
But it doesn’t matter, just a little trouble, a white kitten state can solve it.
3 seconds. Like a clever kitten, she landed in the nurse's cubicle without warning. She froze for a moment, then adjusted her face, showing a happy expression, and was about to speak.
But Jian Jing didn't give her a chance.
She covered the nurse's face as an anesthetic needle was inserted into her neck.
The nurse collapsed instantly.
Although she behaved very positively, abnormality is a sign of evil. No normal person would dare to talk to her like this. She was most likely a spy planted among the hostages by the criminals.
After dealing with her, Jian Jing searched her pockets and found a palm-sized keypad phone.
The text messages I sent are all there, but they are all abbreviations and I can’t understand them.
Considering that the phone had a location, she did not take it away, but threw it directly into the toilet. She then tied the nurse up with a rope and stuffed a silk scarf into her mouth.
Five minutes passed quickly and the female doctor had completed her task, but there was no movement in Jian Jingjin's cubicle.
The female criminal sensed something was wrong, swore, walked in and kicked open the partition door.
At the same time, Jian Jing flashed out from the middle compartment, pounced on her back, suppressed her with all her might, and pressed her cheek to the floor, not allowing even the slightest sound to leak out.
The female gangster was wearing a bulletproof vest, was bulky, and was focused on the toilet, so she was caught off guard. By the time she wanted to reach for the dagger on her waist to fight back, it was too late.
The anesthetic needle accurately poked her neck and the cold liquid was injected.
The muscles relax, consciousness disappears, and in the blink of an eye, you fall into sleep.
Jian Jing took off her bulletproof vest and put it on, and took her gun and walkie-talkie.
The German G36 assault rifle weighs only 3.63kg when empty, which is not too heavy for women. It just has a weakness of not being heat-insulated, so it is said to be very hot.
… I can’t care so much now.
After putting away the magazine, Jian Jing glanced at the two unconscious women and still felt that the nurse was closer in height to herself.
She decisively stripped off the other person's clothes, exchanged coats with hers, and then put the baseball cap on the nurse's face.
So, from a distance, the nurse was the unconscious her.
