Chapter 43 Hostage Shen Qingye: It’s my turn.
Song Lianfeng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he hurried forward to take a look. Sure enough, he saw that the yard was empty, and there was no trace of anyone in the bedroom when he opened the door.
He took two steps into the bedroom and found that the things inside had obviously been rummaged through and were in disarray. There was also a red and white checkered plastic luggage bag under the wall near the left!
"F**k!" Captain Yang couldn't help but swear. No one would be in a good mood after being on high alert and tense for so long and then finding out that they have failed.
Song Lianfeng also looked unhappy.
They actually thought about making the arrest at night, but ordinary criminal police go out at night mainly to catch the murderer by surprise. It would be easier to make the arrest in the dead of night when everyone is asleep. But after discussion, they gave up the idea.
Firstly, it takes time to hold a meeting to discuss the situation, determine the battle plan, and then notify various departments for coordination and cooperation; secondly, the murderer is too vigilant. They just came to the door during the day, and he may not sleep as he wishes at night, and may not achieve his goal; thirdly, the murderer has a gun after all. If he accidentally opens fire, the visibility is poor at night, and the situation will be unfavorable to them.
In order to prevent the murderer from going to the city early in the morning, they took action early and tried to arrest him when it was just light. However, they did not expect that the murderer had already escaped!
Song Lianfeng took a deep breath and quickly contacted Gao Zhengming, requesting that all major traffic arteries leaving the city be blocked. At the same time, he contacted the transportation department and strictly screened the people coming and going from the train stations and bus stations based on the murderer's photo. He also instructed the policeman Xiao Cao beside him to go door to door in the village to ask if anyone noticed when Huang Wenqiang left.
After all the arrangements were made, a group of armed military and police officers stood there, not knowing what to do next.
Yue Lingchuan searched the house before stepping forward and saying, "There is no cash in the house. The murderer has probably run away with the money. If he wants to leave the city, the nearest transportation station is the South Passenger Transport Station in Liaoxin District, and a little further is the railway station in Jiangdong District."
Captain Yang also calmed down and analyzed: "According to what the villagers said, the murderer has no means of transportation and usually goes into the city by hitching a ride in other people's cars. In this case, he should not have gone far."
Just as he finished speaking, a policeman suddenly came running over with a serious look on his face: "Team, Director Gao has a message. Someone in Wudong Town, Liaoxin District, called the police and said that when he went out to buy goods this morning, someone robbed him at gunpoint and stole his motorcycle!"
Song Lianfeng looked over quickly: "When did it happen?"
"Half an hour ago!"
"Which way did the murderer go?"
"Go north along Jiang'an Avenue!"
Going North...
Yue Lingchuan subconsciously said: "Jiangdong District Railway Station."
Team Yang also suddenly reacted: "That's right, it's only a little after five o'clock now, and the long-distance bus will not leave until six or seven at the earliest. If he wants to go to the bus station, he will have to wait there for a while!"
There is no such restriction for trains, and there are countless trains in the early morning.
Ma Dui said calmly, "If the time is correct, he should have escaped at around 4 o'clock before dawn, walked for half an hour to Wudong Town, then robbed someone's motorcycle and headed north!"
"I know Wudong Town. It's about 60 to 70 kilometers away from the train station. If you ride a motorcycle, it will take at least 40 minutes!"
"That is to say, he may have just arrived at the train station, or he may not have arrived at all?"
A group of people were shocked, and Song Lianfeng immediately called for them to get in the car: "Director Gao must have made arrangements, let's go to Jiangdong Railway Station immediately!"
·
Criminal Investigation Brigade, Office.
Shen Qingye took advantage of this moment to finish today's work. Just as he put down the last document, he saw out of the corner of his eye a group of fully-dressed policemen quickly crossing the corridor and trotting to gather downstairs.
She paused, then immediately stood up, opened the door, grabbed someone and asked, "What happened?"
The man glanced at her, and seemed to recognize her as the policewoman who often accompanied Yue Lingchuan and his men on missions, and said quickly:
"The murderer has escaped, and the chief is leading people to catch him!"
Shen Qingye's eyes narrowed: "Run away? Where did he run to?"
"It seems to be the Jiangdong District Railway Station." He left quickly after leaving a word.
Shen Qingye looked at the scene where everyone downstairs got into the car in unison and drove off quickly. He was silent for a long time, turned back into the house, grabbed the car keys and ran downstairs!
·
Halfway through the journey, Xiao Cao received a call from Director Gao. After hanging up, he immediately informed Song Lianfeng of the news:
"Team, the police stationed at the train station have successfully found the suspect! But the other party is holding a hostage at gunpoint, and the two sides are currently in a standoff!"
Song Lianfeng's face darkened, and he immediately ordered: "Speed up!"
He turned his head and looked at the captains of each team, and said solemnly: "The magazine of the Type 54 pistol can hold 8 bullets. We currently don't know whether the murderer has spare bullets, nor do we know whether the pistol is fully loaded. If necessary, if both sides engage in a firefight, we must remember the number of bullets fired by the murderer!"
Everyone responded in unison: “Yes!”
·
At 5:57, the car arrived outside the train station.
Fortunately, it is not the peak travel period now, there are relatively few tourists at the train station, and they are all under effective control.
Everyone quickly went to the waiting hall on the second floor and saw dense crowds surrounding it, leaving a large empty area in the middle. Several policemen stood on one side, and the tall man facing them was Huang Wenqiang!
He pinched the neck of a five or six-year-old girl with one hand, and held a gun against the girl's temple with one hand. With a sinister and cruel expression, he shouted, "I said, let me go, send me abroad safely, and I will naturally hand this little girl over to you!"
The little girl grabbed his hands with both hands, crying breathlessly, calling for her mother and for the police uncle. Outside the crowd, a young woman knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Let my daughter go, let my daughter go! I'll be her hostage, I'll be her hostage!"
Huang Wenqiang shouted at her: "Shut up! If you say another word, I will beat her to death right now!"
The woman immediately covered her mouth and wailed, then grabbed the police officer's clothes and begged, "Police comrade, please save my daughter, please save her! She is only six years old, she is so young!"
Shen Qingye, Yue Lingchuan and others arrived almost one after another, went up to the second floor, and saw this scene.
Director Gao came to the scene in person, his brows lowered, and his voice was solemn: "Huang Wenqiang, you hid guns first, and then killed twelve people. Your crimes are too numerous to list! Now the train station has been surrounded by armed police. Do you really think you can escape?"
Huang Wenqiang sneered, "Don't say those things to me! You also said that I have killed twelve people, and I don't mind taking a few more lives! If you have the guts, just do it. Before I die, I can also take a few people with me!"
Song Lianfeng took two steps forward and spoke in a slow voice: "Huang Wenqiang, it is a fact that you killed twelve people in a row. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, we will not let you go! If you insist on resisting, the only outcome is death. If you cooperate honestly and surrender voluntarily, you can still strive for leniency!"
Huang Wenqiang pulled the corner of his lips and said impatiently: "You bunch of officials are really annoying! I don't want to listen to your nonsense. To put it simply, either agree to my request and let me go, and I promise to let the girl go; or you kill me, and before I die, see if I can take a few people with me!
"Stop saying those nonsense to me. You just need to answer yes or no!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him fell silent for a moment.
The young mother ran to Chief Gao, grabbed his clothes, looked up and begged: "Police comrade, I beg you, I beg you to agree to his request! My daughter is still so young, she can't die, police comrade..."
The little girl at the side saw her mother crying and could not suppress her inner fear. She struggled and cried shrilly: "Mom, Mom! Oh, Mom, save me, Mom, I'm scared..."
Huang Wenqiang was impatient and used more force on her neck: "Shut up, damn it! If you keep crying, I will strangle you to death!"
The girl had difficulty breathing, her face gradually turned blue, her eyes widened, and her body was shaking. The mother's body softened upon seeing this, and she frantically crawled forward two steps: "Let go, let go, she won't cry, I promise she won't cry!"
She looked at her daughter again: "Yueyue, Yueyue, don't cry, the police uncle will save you, the police uncle will save you! Stop crying!"
Huang Wenqiang's men showed no mercy. They looked at the police calmly and said, "Director, what do you think? Have you made up your mind?"
The girl opened her mouth wide, her face full of fear, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her two delicate little hands kept pulling at his hands, but in vain. She could only make "ho ho" sounds.
The young mother looked back and said in a humble and sobbing voice: "Director, Director, my daughter is innocent, my daughter is innocent!"
Gao Zhengming's face was heavy. Seeing the girl's face turning increasingly pale, he finally said, "I agree to your request."
As soon as he said this, Huang Wenqiang smiled instantly, and the hand that was pinching the little girl's neck loosened, and said in a leisurely tone: "Isn't that enough? You have to make such a fuss for so long."
"Hurry up and arrange a plane for me to go abroad. When I am safe, I will return the child to you."
Gao Zhengming looked at him for a moment and said, "We can send you abroad, but you have to release the child first."
Huang Wenqiang immediately laughed: "Comrade police, do you think I'm stupid? Let the child go? What else can I use to threaten you?"
Gao Zhengming said: "We can exchange a hostage for you. You have a gun anyway, so you don't have to be afraid of anything. As long as you agree, I will arrange a plane now!"
Huang Wenqiang said, "Change the hostage? How do I know if the hostage you guys are going to replace me with is a powerful guy? I have a gun, but a gun is not omnipotent. What if he steals my gun?"
"Comrade police officer, I still value my life!"
Upon hearing this, the mother immediately took two steps forward, with hope on her face: "Then let me take my daughter's place. I don't have any martial arts skills, and I can't take your gun. Let me take my daughter's place..."
Seeing this, the girl's tears started streaming down her face again. This time, she didn't dare cry out loud. Instead, she sobbed silently, calling for her mother in a low voice.
Huang Wenqiang looked annoyed and glared at her: "Get out of my way!"
He looked at Gao Zhengming again and said impatiently, "Have you thought it through? I'm telling you, my patience is limited. I'll give you one minute. If you don't agree, I'll randomly pick someone to kill!"
The people around him suddenly panicked. Gao Zhengming looked at him with cold eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a clear female voice:
"Let me take your turn."
Gao Zhengming was stunned when he heard this, looked back and his expression suddenly changed.
Huang Wenqiang was very curious about his reaction, turned his head and looked, and immediately smiled: "Comrade police, we just met yesterday, do you think I'm stupid? Change the hostages and get another policeman?"
Shen Qingye's expression remained unchanged: "Of course you are not stupid. It's just that although I am a policeman, I am only a civilian policeman. I don't even have a police number, let alone a gun."
As she spoke, she took off her coat and spread her hands, revealing her thin, frail body and showing her harmlessness.
"What's more, my father is the director of the Municipal Bureau in front of you, and my mother is the boss of a listed company. My value is much higher than that little girl. If you hold me hostage, your bargaining chip will be even greater, and they will definitely not dare to act rashly."
Huang Wenqiang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked suspicious when he heard this. Gao Zhengming's face suddenly changed. He was no longer as calm and composed as before. He shouted in surprise, "Xiao Feng! Don't mess around!"
His reaction unconsciously confirmed what Shen Qingye said. Huang Wenqiang looked at the two of them, thinking about something secretly, and did not speak for a while.
Shen Qingye glanced at Gao Zhengming and said calmly: "Dad, this is the best choice."
"Being a police officer has been my dream since I was a child. Even though you disagree and don't want me to be involved in this industry, I am your daughter and I want to protect the people like you."
Gao Zhengming's lips trembled for a moment, his eyes shook, and the hands hanging by his side moved again and again. Finally, he turned his head away fiercely and said nothing.
Shen Qingye looked at Huang Wenqiang and said calmly, "How about it, have you thought about it?"
"Children are too difficult to control. You have to escape and take care of her at the same time. It's bound to be troublesome."
"But I'm different. I won't cry or make a fuss. I'm just a woman, so I can't pose any threat to you."
Huang Wenqiang stared at her with his sinister eyes, and said nothing for a long time.
Shen Qingye raised her chin high with a fearless attitude, but if you look closely, you can see that her slender body is trembling slightly.
Huang Wenqiang looked at her for a while, and seemed to find her trying to suppress her fear very interesting. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said:
"good."
