Chapter 276 Capturing the Desperado
"She's an army major??"
"How could an army major be... such a young woman?"
"When I retired at the age of twenty-eight, I was only a second lieutenant platoon leader..."
The senior police officer was greatly shocked.
“We don’t have time to waste any longer.” Wen Ni’s gaze swept over them, and she reached out to tear open the city planning map. After just a quick glance, she accurately found the location and drew a circle around it!
"This is where the gunman is!"
Everyone present temporarily put aside their surprise and gathered around!
The location circled by Wen Ni was none other than the largest and most luxurious S-class international hotel in Nancheng City. It had even hosted foreign dignitaries in the past!
"Send a team back immediately!"
"Destination: Setias International Hotel!"
Because it was not far from the scene of the incident, the Setias Hotel was surrounded by police cars from both the front and back within just five minutes, completely sealed off!
As the doors of the SWAT vehicle opened.
Wen Ni didn't step on the pedal; she stretched out her long legs and jumped directly off the car, her swift and graceful movements attracting attention!
She wore a large, obviously ill-fitting men's uniform jacket, with the words "Special Forces" printed on the back.
"It's truly magnificent and extravagant..." A senior police officer got out of the car, put his hands on his hips, looked at the glittering golden gate in front of him, and spat, "The people who can afford to stay in this hotel are all rich! What rich family would be so foolish as to give up a good life and invite their own destruction?"
"Those who commit crimes are never distinguished by whether they are rich or poor, and we should not use class to judge right and wrong in human nature," Wen Ni said calmly.
Then she took the pistol that Song Yanfeng handed her, took long strides, and led the way straight into the hotel!
"Based on the shooting angle, distance, and height, and considering the residential buildings blocking the view, only guests on the 15th floor and above, facing north and south, could have a complete field of vision for shooting over the entire outdoor performance area!"
After a quick analysis, Wen Ni took a stack of room cards and distributed them, while simultaneously loading her gun and continuing her work without stopping. "Everyone, divide into five groups and focus on searching floors 15 and above, including the rooftop!"
"yes!"
Upon receiving the precise orders, everyone acted swiftly and methodically!
"Isn't she a bit too arrogant? First, she inexplicably made us believe her and come to this hotel, and now she's making up her own guesses, only searching floors above the fifteenth? What if the gunman isn't here? Or what if the gunman happens to be on a floor below the fifteenth?"
The one who stood rooted to the spot, talking only with his mouth, was the 28-year-old retired senior police officer.
He stared at Wen Ni's disappearing figure with a crooked mouth, clearly dissatisfied.
"These police officers are all from my South City. They should be obeying the orders of their superiors! How come they've all become her soldiers, acting on her orders?"
"My boss, this isn't arrogance, it's confidence! Absolute experience and precise commands often lead to fewer casualties and faster battles during missions!"
Song Yanfeng, who was temporarily left behind to coordinate with other groups, coldly raised his eyes and cocked his rifle with a snap, just like his mood at that moment, so angry that he wanted to kill someone!
"With so many lives hanging in the balance, you still have time to play with your power and flaunt your official authority? That's probably why my boss was able to stay in the army and become a major! And you, at twenty-eight, only managed to become a second lieutenant, and in the end, you could only transfer to civilian life as a lowly police officer!"
"you……"
The senior police officer's face turned red, clearly angered by Song Yanfeng's sharp tongue!
However, Song Yanfeng was sent down from the higher military region. He is already a captain at a young age, and his family may have some powerful background that is not to be trifled with!
Thinking this way
The senior officer chuckled through gritted teeth, "You! You were absolutely right! I've had a real eye-opener. I'll definitely reflect on this when I get back and work hard to improve!"
"...Heh, with a face like that, you'll succeed at anything." Song Yanfeng sneered, picked up his gun, and went upstairs!
"Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate your kind words!" the senior officer said.
Five teams of police officers, with ample manpower, searched all four floors of hotel rooms simultaneously, without spending much time.
Only the twentieth floor remains to be searched.
The room key was swiped to open one room after another.
Most of the rooms are empty.
Even though there were only a few guests, they still made an unexpected discovery: they stumbled upon a group of prostitutes! The wealthy businessman didn't even have time to pull up his pants before he was pinned against the wall and subjected to a thorough search.
"Sir! This room won't open!"
"In front of the adjacent 2035, the police officer reported."
Wen Ni stepped forward and scanned it again, her brow furrowing.
"It's not that the card can't be opened, it's that someone has locked it from the inside!"
"Have you encountered the guests in the room next door?" Song Yanfeng immediately turned around, grabbed the wealthy businessman by the hair, and demanded, "Didn't you hear any strange noises during this time?"
"All I know is that an old man in his sixties lives there! As for any strange noises? I didn't hear anything, ah... except for the gunfire on TV! The old man told me he's hard of hearing and likes to watch war movies, so the volume might be a bit loud, and asked if I could handle it!" The wealthy businessman trembled, raised his eyelids, and asked again, his voice trembling, "W-what? That old man is so old, does he also bring prostitutes over for fun?"
He completely mistook the police officers in front of him for those cracking down on prostitution, gambling, and drugs.
No one paid any attention to his question.
The officer received a signal from Song Yanfeng and turned to continue knocking on the door of room 2036. "Hello, we are police officers conducting a routine search. Please cooperate, thank you!"
There was no response.
"Hello? Is anyone in the room? If so, could you please open the door? It's a routine police search, thank you!"
The police officer repeated it over and over again.
Others had already begun preparing the tools to dismantle the door.
At the same time, Wen Ni leaned over and pressed her ear against the door, listening carefully to the sounds coming from inside!
"Crack!"
The familiar sound of loading bullets tugged at Wen Ni's taut nerves!
She immediately straightened up and gave the order without hesitation: "Break down the door! This is it!"
"Huh?" The police officer, who was slowly removing the door, was taken aback.
Then look, Song Yanfeng has already picked up the door cutter!
He moved swiftly, and the loud sound of the door cutter cutting into the door panel instantly overlapped with the gunshots coming from inside the room, making everyone's ears ring!
"That's outrageous! The police were already at the door, and he was still firing shots outside!"
“This guy’s a desperate man; he probably never intended to live!” Wen Ni’s eyes darkened. She had seen far too many madmen like him, driven to desperation, during her missions. “Hurry up, I’m worried there might be explosives in his room!”
"good!"
If the gunman is determined to take everyone down with him, then everyone in the entire hotel will be buried with him!
The door panel was cut diagonally, creating a crack.
Wen Ni took a few steps back, then suddenly lunged forward, kicking the door in half along the crack!
