Chapter 3 Hostage
Zhang Kui reacted the moment he heard the gunshots and realized that the police had probably set up a siege long ago.
Even at this moment, he still quickly picked up the dagger with his other hand, grabbed the hair of the woman who was about to slip away, pulled her back fiercely and held her against the dagger.
"You bitch! Don't even think about running away! Even if I die, I'll take someone with me!"
He was injured and needed a hostage.
Although the two men were spineless, this thin woman was easier to control.
Su Tong tried to struggle, but the other party was obviously a martial artist and could hold her tightly with just one arm.
Su Tong's body had been starved for two days, and then was given anesthesia. I don't know if it was because the effect of the drug had not worn off or if it had side effects, but let alone resistance, I'm afraid he would even feel dizzy if he walked properly.
Fortunately, some public security comrades had set up a siege here. In such dim light, the other side was able to shoot the criminal in the arm with one shot. She felt that there was a great possibility that she would be rescued.
More than a dozen flashlights were shaking and surrounding them. Zhang Kui held Su Tong hostage and went deep into the Bamang bush.
The leaves of the Bamang tree were as sharp as blades, and they hit our bodies and cut small cuts, but no one cared about that at the moment.
Seeing the encirclement shrinking, Zhang Kui became anxious and shouted loudly:
"Don't chase them anymore!"
"Don't chase me! I have a hostage!
"If you come any closer I'll kill her!"
Someone shouted loudly outside the bushes:
"Zhang Kui! Put down your weapons!"
"Say it again! Put down your weapons!"
"Release the hostages! You are surrounded! You can't escape!"
For a moment, I felt flashlights everywhere, and it seemed like there was no way to escape.
Zhang Kuiru grabbed Su Tong in front of him as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, and was extremely anxious.
At this moment, a sharp cry of a child suddenly came from the depths of the Bamang bush.
Then a fierce male voice came out, "If you don't want this child to die here, just come!"
Zhang Kui was shocked, "Sixth Master! Why did you come out?"
With a rustling sound, a man emerged from the depths of the Bamang bush.
Su Tong looked up and took a glance. He was of medium height and thin. His appearance was not very clear. All he could see was that he was wearing a pair of glasses with the lenses glowing slightly.
He was panting, half holding and half dragging a child in his arms.
The child looked about five or six years old, but he seemed to be sick, with his head hung, and it didn't look like he had just cried.
There was silence for a moment, and then the people outside shouted loudly: "Ma Liu! Zhang Kui! You can't escape today! Put down your weapons! Put down your weapons..."
Before he could finish his words, Ma Liu interrupted him, "Don't shout these useless words!"
"I want a car, five hundred dollars, and some dry food and water! Get it here in twenty minutes, or I'll kill this guy!"
As he spoke, he twisted the child's buttocks hard a few times. The child seemed to be a little unconscious, and after a while he finally realized what was happening and let out a miserable cry.
The person shouting outside was Zhang Changhai, the criminal police captain of the county public security bureau.
While he was shouting to attract Ma Liu's attention, Qin Yi had already asked the sniper to find the best shooting position and prepare for sniping.
Although keeping the person alive is important, the hostage is more important, so he has to make full preparations.
Unexpectedly, Ma Liu made a request. Zhang Changhai glanced at Qin Yi, who nodded and motioned him to continue shouting.
Zhang Changhai continued to shout:
"Ma Liu! Zhang Kui!"
"You take the hostages and evacuate first. We can agree to your conditions, but we have to make sure the hostages are safe first!"
"Ma Liu! Zhang Kui! Twenty minutes is too short and an unreasonable request!
Get out of the bushes first! Get out of the bushes first! We can discuss again after we see that the hostages are safe!"
The shouting outside continued, but Ma Liu's body seemed to be shaky. Zhang Kui quickly reached out to help Ma Liu sit down and asked:
"Sixth Master, your body..."
Ma Liu quickly raised his eyes and looked at Su Tong. Zhang Kui quickly swallowed back the rest of his words and said:
"This is just a local girl. I'll grab her to stop her for now. If she doesn't work, I'll do it later."
As he said this, he made a chopping gesture with his hand.
Ma Liu nodded, took a breath and said, "Tonight is a tough night. We can't go into the mountain. It's important to get out of here first."
Then he pointed at the child lying next to him with his eyes closed and no sound, "This kid is dying! We need to make plans early!"
As he spoke, he took out a pistol from his waist, pointed it at Su Tong, and said gloomily, "Behave yourself, don't try to play tricks! Otherwise, I'll shoot you!"
Su Tong glanced at the gun, an American Colt. This type of gun is rare in China. The person who could get this weapon should not be a simple fugitive.
"Okay! Get out! They don't dare to play any tricks!"
Ma Liu grabbed the child with one hand and stood up, then walked in front with a gun against the child's head.
Zhang Kuize held the dagger in one hand, pressed it against Su Tong's neck, and pushed her forward.
Shuanzi and Wang Laoer had been dragged out by Ma Daming long ago and disappeared without a trace.
As the group stumbled out of the Bamang bush, more than a dozen flashlights shone towards them.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the scene before them.
It was dark and I couldn't see clearly just now. Only now did I realize that the girl held hostage by Zhang Kui was covered in blood. It was so blurry that I couldn't see who she was. I didn't know if it was Ma Liu's doing. He was really cruel.
The child in Ma Liu's arms had his head drooped and was silent. It was obvious that he was not sleeping normally.
“Dongdong…Dongdong!!”
A trembling voice called out, "Dongdong, look at your daddy! Daddy is here to save you! Dongdong!"
Su Tong looked up and saw that the person who spoke was a police officer.
I was shocked. This group of people was so bold that they held hostage the child of a public security officer.
The public security comrade had just endured the child's crying several times due to discipline, but when he saw the child, he could no longer control his emotions.
"Ma Liu, you beast! You have the heart to kill a child! If anything happens to Dongdong, I will skin you alive..."
"Okay!"
Ma Liu interrupted the other person coldly, "The child is fine, just a little sick."
"Since I dare to come out, I am not afraid of your tricks..."
"You have snipers, right? You rely on your numbers, right?"
"Humph! You don't want any survivors!"
Ma Liu sneered and moved the child aside. Everyone couldn't help but gasp. His chest was actually fully tied with a row of homemade bombs.
"Be careful with your guns, don't let them go off accidentally!"
As he said this, he raised his thumb, which had a ring on it, and said, "If you pull this ring, not only the children, but also the areas within a few miles can be razed to the ground."
Qin Yi cursed inwardly, "Old fox!"
The roar of car engines was heard in the darkness, and two army green jeeps drove up quickly, one after the other. A policeman jumped out of the car and handed the keys to Zhang Changhai.
Zhang Changhai waved the key at Ma Liu, "Let the child go! Here are the keys! The money and dry food are in the car!"
Ma Liu snorted coldly, "Put the key in the car and start the engine! Stop trying to delay!
I can wait! I’m afraid this kid can’t wait any longer!”
