"I said, you can hand over the bank password, but if the police don't recover the gold bars, you will have to bear all the losses."
Pushing up his glasses, Kunihiko Hanekawa perfectly interpreted what a beast in human clothing is.
In his eyes...
The safety of 17 hostages is not as important as gold bars worth 800 million yen.
After all, it was because he was afraid to take responsibility.
800 million gold bars. Even if he handed over the password and saved 17 hostages, he would be dismissed by the higher-ups.
"I also have a family and children to support, you have to understand my difficulties."
Hanekawa Kunihiko sighed:
“I feel very sad to be caught in the middle.”
"But I believe the police will rescue the hostages."
Megure Jusan almost vomited blood.
As the temporary on-site person in charge, his situation was not much better than that of Kunihiko Hanekawa.
While the two of them were arguing, Makoto Sakaki got into the police car with Miss Miyano, holding two lunch boxes.
The lunch box was quite rich, with two fried shrimps, mapo tofu, siomai and tomato egg drop soup, which Takagi bought from a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Seiji Sakaki broke off his chopsticks and ignored the question about the safe password. While eating, he was still thinking about the origins of the robbers.
"Their accent is very strange, definitely not Japanese..."
After taking a bite of the fried shrimp, Sakaki Makoto suddenly said:
"These people behaved a bit like mercenaries. They had definitely been on the battlefield. The snipers, assaulters, observers, commanders... the five-man team was well-trained."
"mercenary?"
Miss Miyano poured a cup of hot tea for her boyfriend:
"Why would mercenaries come to rob a bank?"
“Who hired them?”
“It’s hard to say…”
Sakaki smacked his lips.
"But one thing is certain: these people's goal is not just gold bars."
"They are like bait..."
drip...drip...
Just then, a black truck with the SAT logo finally arrived at the scene.
The fully armed SAT troops jumped off the truck holding MP5 submachine guns and explosion-proof shields, and lined up in front of the bank in an orderly manner.
Leading the SAT team...
It was Kyogoku Naohiko who had returned from vacation. He had just returned to work two days ago, but he didn't expect to be given a "surprise" as soon as he came.
As an anti-terrorism armed force second only to the Self-Defense Forces, the SAT is responsible for handling cases that ordinary detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department are unable to handle.
For example, Nobuaki Asakura, who had heavy firepower last time, and the bank robbers this time are also within their jurisdiction.
Arriving with SAT was Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the Metropolitan Police Department's search officer.
"Superintendent Matsumoto, Captain Kyogoku!"
When he saw his boss, Megure Juzo hurriedly saluted.
"Well, what's going on?"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had just arrived, immediately took over the on-site police duties. He looked around and asked:
"What did the robbers want?"
"The other party has 17 hostages and demands that we hand over the password to the vault!"
Megure Juzo told everything that happened in the bank.
After hearing the vault password, Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Hanekawa Kunihiko and asked:
"What's the password?"
Hanekawa Kunihiko didn't say anything, so Megure Jusan answered for him:
"Inspector Matsumoto, he said he has no right to hand over the password. If we force him to hand over the password..."
"Once the gold bars are taken away by robbers, the Metropolitan Police Department will be held responsible."
“Nonsense!”
Matsumoto Kiyoshi glared:
"Our duty as police officers is to arrest criminals and rescue hostages. Since when did we become insurance companies?"
"Hand over the password!"
Kunihiko Hanekawa smiled and said nothing.
No matter how Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked, he refused to hand over the password and was determined.
As a victim, the police did not dare to do anything to him in public. Matsumoto Kiyonaga hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone and began to contact his superiors.
He has no right to decide.
During the call, the SAT led by Kyogoku Naohiko quickly surrounded the bank building, the sniper team was in place, and the breakthrough team was in place...
As soon as the superior gives the order, the SATs carrying explosion-proof shields will rush into the bank to rescue the hostages.
but...
"Yes! Yes! I understand!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded, put down his phone, and said seriously:
"Superintendent Hakuba agreed to Hanekawa Kunihiko's request and sent the SIT who were on a mission to provide support."
"The SIT will be here in 20 minutes."
Inside the police car with the window rolled down, Makoto Sakaki heard what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said.
In the Japanese police system, there are two special forces code-named S, one is the Special Investigation Team SIT, and the other is the Special Action Team SAT.
As a special force, they are specifically responsible for dealing with terrorist incidents that ordinary police cannot handle.
The SIT is also under the Special Criminal Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Division. Although Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a higher police rank than them, he has no authority to transfer the SIT.
As special forces, whether it is SIT or SAT, in order to deploy them, the consent of the Minister of Criminal Affairs or the Superintendent of Police is required.
Matsumoto Kiyonaga could only ask his superiors to dispatch special forces, but could not give direct command.
Not only the Metropolitan Police Department has set up SIT, but almost all prefectures have SITs, but the code names are different.
The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters renamed the Special Incident Section of its Investigation Division 1 as the Special Investigation Team, or MAAT for short.
Saitama Prefecture's Special Investigation Team is abbreviated as RATS.
If police support is needed within the Tokyo metropolitan area, Osaka Prefecture or Saitama Prefecture will immediately send MAAT and RATS to assist them.
