The five hostages stood up tremblingly, not daring to disobey the robbers' orders, and walked into the lounge without surveillance amidst the hustle and bustle.
"Take off your clothes!"
After untying the ropes and blindfolds on their hands, robber No. 3 stood at the door with his submachine gun loaded:
“Do it now!”
"Don't shoot...I'll take it off, I'll take it off..."
With tears of shame streaming down their faces, the five hostages unbuttoned their coats and took off their thin clothes one by one.
"Do you want to take off your underwear?"
Someone asked cautiously.
"Why do I need your underwear?!"
Robber No. 3 kicked him over and yelled:
"Stand facing the wall!"
The wronged hostages faced the wall pitifully, not knowing what would happen next.
The only hostage who asked if he wanted to take off his underwear actually put his hands on the wall and raised his buttocks...
Robber No. 3 was defeated on the spot.
"FCK!"
"calm."
Robber No. 1 said calmly:
"Go and call the others over."
"yes."
Turning around and going out, robber No. 3 soon came back with two companions.
In the lounge, the sound of people taking off clothes could be heard.
Of course, they didn't intend to do anything unspeakable to the hostages, they just wanted to change their clothes.
The robbers put on the hostages' clothes, threw their camouflage combat uniforms in front of the hostages, and said:
"Put it on."
"ah...."
The hostages looked at each other, confused about the situation.
But under the threat of submachine guns, they still picked up the camouflage combat uniforms and slowly put them on themselves.
"very good..."
Robber No. 1 nodded with satisfaction and winked at his companions, who immediately stepped forward and raised their guns.
Boom!
Five hostages fainted on the ground. The robbers took off the masks on their faces and put them on their heads. Then they threw them into the vault along with their submachine guns and locked the door.
After the shift change, the last robber also changed into the hostage's clothes and returned to the hall.
This time...
They put on simple makeup, tied each other up with ropes, fastened noose, and blindfolded themselves.
When everything is ready...
Robber No. 1 pressed the button in his hand.
Boom!!!
The C4 installed on the wall of the lounge beeped twice and suddenly exploded!
Under the huge impact force, the wall instantly opened up, revealing the black sewer pipe behind it.
at the same time...
“What’s that sound?!”
The crowd watching cried out in surprise and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
"It's bad, the hostages are in danger!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga immediately issued an order:
"Assault! Assault!"
This is an incredibly good opportunity.
Even if the robbers did not harm the hostages, the police could launch another attack on the pretext of protecting the hostages.
Even if there were casualties during the attack, they could later use the robbers' cruelty to fool the media.
Besides...
What if the robbers start killing the hostages? Will the police just stand by and watch?
It's impossible.
The SAT and SIT team members launched an attack. The bank's glass door was locked, so they simply smashed it with a battering ram and swarmed in.
However...
"Report!"
Voice from the intercom:
"We found hostages in the lobby!"
"The robbers are nowhere to be seen!"
"Save the hostages first!"
Matsumoto Kiyonaga grabbed the microphone and shouted:
"Be careful of the trap! There is a bomb tied to the hostage's chest!"
"yes!"
Under SAT's escort, the 14 hostages finally saw the light of day.
But the matter is not over yet. Among the 14 hostages, 5 had bombs tied to their chests. This was confirmed as early as when Makoto Sakaki negotiated with them.
The bomb disposal team that had arrived in advance rushed forward, used instruments to explore the hostages, and quickly found the five people carrying time bombs.
During the bomb disposal process, everyone was sweating, holding their breath, and focusing all their attention on the bomb disposal team.
As for the remaining hostages, they were sent to an ambulance, where doctors and nurses checked their injuries, including several "foreign friends".
"I see..."
Sakaki Makoto grinned:
"What a brilliant plan..."
"Does he take us for fools?"
Looking at the "foreign friends" who were eager to get away, Miss Miyano asked in confusion:
"You really dare to come out so brazenly."
“No, in psychology, it’s called stereotyping and thematic expectancy effects.”
Pushing down his sunglasses, Sakaki Makoto said softly:
"The topic expectation effect is different from the expectation effect. It usually targets the fact that people tend to ignore other possibilities after forming a stereotype about something."
"Anyone would be scared when seeing a bomb, so the robbers used the bomb to create the illusion that it was dangerous to stay near the hostages."
"At the same time, this is also a kind of contradiction diversion. The police subconsciously believe that the robbers will not take risks, let alone be stupid enough to walk out of the main gate. Therefore, their attention is all focused on the bomb and they forget to check the identity of the hostages."
"Hmm...that sounds a lot like the subject effect."
Miss Miyano said:
"If a doctor falsely claims to have given a patient medication, even if the patient has not taken the medication, the patient will psychologically feel that their condition has improved."
"The subject expectancy effect you mentioned is probably a type of cognitive bias, just like the subject effect."
“Good self-study!”
"snort..."
