Chapter 09 9
The sudden change caused everyone in the car to feel terribly emotional, as no one had expected to encounter something like this.
The driver was so frightened that he started to tremble and could hardly hold the steering wheel. Finally, under the threat of gunpoint, he managed to steer the vehicle with great difficulty.
The passengers in the back seat were extremely panicked.
The mother hugged her young child tightly, and the little child in her arms made a shrill cry. The terrified mother tried her best to comfort the child.
The student clenched his MP3 in his hand and huddled on a seat in the corner.
The old man covered his chest and trembled, and then fell to the side from his seat - fortunately, Kenji Hagiwara came to his aid in time and supported the old man, preventing him from falling to the ground.
"Who told you to move?" Masked man No. 2 shouted rudely, pointing the muzzle of his gun directly at Kenji Hagiwara.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean anything else." Hagiwara Kenji responded with a smile, with the corners of his eyes drooping slightly.
He did not show the aggressive traits of a police academy student, and smiled calmly, "It's just that I think that the loss of hostages at the very beginning is probably not what you expected."
The masked man number two did not respond. He just snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Go back to your seat! Stop meddling in other people's business and leave this old man alone on the ground."
Hagiwara Kenji didn't rush to get up, but first helped the old man and let him sit next to him in a more comfortable position. He had a good grasp of the situation and returned to his seat before the gangster really got angry.
Masked man number two glared at Kenji Hagiwara, raised the muzzle of his gun slightly, and warned him viciously: "If you make trouble again next time, you will be in trouble!"
Kenji Hagiwara shrugged, indicating that he did not mean to be threatening.
Only when the criminal looked away and started making a phone call did his eyes become solemn.
This situation is not going to be easy to deal with, Hagiwara Kenji pondered.
There were two gangsters with guns in their hands, and he couldn't guarantee to knock them down quickly and subdue them by himself.
The hostages in the car were just ordinary, untrained civilians, including the elderly and young children, who were unable to work together to control the robbers.
I don’t know what these two robbers are going to do. Now I can only wait for help from outside.
In any case, if there are special circumstances, he must find a way to protect the passengers in the car.
Kenji Hagiwara leaned back and rested his straight back on the seat without relaxing his body.
He glanced at the mother who was trying to comfort her child in fear, the student who was sobbing while holding his schoolbag tightly, and the old man who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath...
And the sunrise and sunset with the view suspended in the air, as if wandering in a trance.
Kenji Hagiwara:?
Wandering around as if nothing happened???
Chaohi Xiqiu's vision was indeed suspended in the air, but he was not actually sleepwalking or dazed, he was just simply looking at the bullet screen.
He wanted to know what happened, and also wanted to see how serious the matter was, and whether it would delay his shopping trip to the supermarket later. Today was a rare good day.
——In theory, the God's perspective under the observation of another dimension should reveal more. If it is presented in the form of anime, the camera will definitely focus on the other side for a complete narration. So he can get more information through the barrage of idle chats.
Through the fragmented semi-transparent text and the little information revealed in the phone conversation of the masked man No. 2, Asahi Xiqiu roughly pieced together the situation of the incident.
In addition to the two gangsters in the car, they also had a companion outside - the one who was responsible for receiving the money.
The two masked robbers were responsible for hijacking a bus with a controllable number of people on board, and then demanded a high amount of kidnapping money from the police. The person outside went to the designated location for contactless pickup and money collection.
The method is unoriginal and the process is too crude. Even if they can get the money for a while, they will definitely be caught by the police later. Especially for the two robbers who hijacked the bus, how they will hand over the hostages to the police later is a problem. Generally speaking, the more secure way for such things should be...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, how did the brain start thinking about the follow-up questions that could lead to torture?
This is definitely cannon fodder in a boys' comic, especially when the camera keeps wandering around, the main plot will definitely make you cry!
Chaori Xiqiu quickly burst the thought bubble that had just popped up in his mind.
The bus jolted suddenly at this moment, as if it had braked suddenly.
The masked man number 2 almost lost his balance, but luckily he quickly grabbed the handrail. The masked man number 1 in front of him was caught off guard and bumped into the corner of the slot machine in front of him.
"You don't want to live anymore, right?!" The masked man number one was so angry that he put the muzzle of the gun directly on the driver's temple.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry..." The driver was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly. He trembled and said, "I turned as you said, but suddenly a big, round watermelon rolled out from the side..."
"Stop making such lame excuses! Drive properly and don't stop without my order!"
The masked man No. 1 was controlling the driver in the front. He did not tell the driver the specific destination at all. He just asked the driver to keep driving at high speed and drive away from the city. He only told the driver which direction to turn when passing the intersection.
The sudden turn and sudden braking caused the passengers in the car to sway. Chao Ri Xi Qiu was almost thrown out and collided with the robber, but fortunately he grabbed the front seat armrest in time and finally sat down steadily.
When he heard the driver's explanation, he had only one thought in his mind: Has anyone given a ticket to a watermelon for crossing the road indiscriminately?
Inside the car, the half-year-old baby in the mother's arms seemed to be frightened and burst into tears. The sharp cries echoed throughout the entire car, and even the mother could not comfort the baby.
"What are you arguing about!" Masked man number two was already irritable because of the bumpy ride just now, and now he was even more furious.
He walked up to her and roughly raised his hands to pull the baby out and throw it away. The mother cried and protected her child, trembling, begging: "Please... please don't hurt my child..."
Kenji Hagiwara, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, immediately stepped forward to protect the mother and son, and was not afraid of the black muzzle of the gun.
Of course, he did not choose to confront them directly, but continued in a just right tone: "Please calm down, sir. If you want to trade with the police, at least you have to guarantee the personal safety of the hostages. The hostages are the bargaining chips. If the hostages are harmed at the moment, I am afraid that the results of your transaction will be affected to a certain extent, right?"
The masked man No. 2 had a dark face, but he didn't attack the young child in the mother's arms. As if to show his strength, he simply raised his arm and fired a shot to the side as a demonstration!
As luck would have it, the bullet hit the back of the seat in front of Chao Ri Xi Qiu. The splashing plastic scraped across his cheek, leaving a shallow mark.
Asahi Xiqiu: "...?!"
Asahi Yuaki, who was affected for no reason, raised his hand subconsciously and rubbed his cheek with his thumb.
To be honest, he still hadn't reacted yet, so his expression didn't change. He just lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the striking red stain on his fingertips.
[Wow wow, it actually hit Asahi! 】
[Asahi’s expressionless face… It’s really oppressive. The curve of her smiling lips is gone. I immediately want to kneel down.]
[These robbers are too much! They treat the elderly, women and children like this. I am so angry. Fortunately, Hagi stepped forward to protect Wuwuwu.]
[I can't stand it anymore, Xiqiu and Hagi should smash them together! ! ]
[Don't worry, family, Asahi seems to have been planning all along, probably waiting for the right time]
Chaori Xiqiu: "..."
Although he really wanted to help, he really had no plan!
So he decided to choose to trust society, trust the police, and trust the rescue force. Chaori Xiqiu was silent in his heart.
There was a loud bang and the sound of gunfire echoed in the carriage. The smell of gunpowder spread and the hostages trembled and dared not make a sound.
Masked man No. 2 was very proud. He raised his chin and shook the gun in his hand.
Asahi Yuqiu glanced at the gun in the gangster's hand, and relevant information unconsciously emerged in his mind - model, safety bolt condition, magazine status and gun holding posture.
Rough joints, slightly crooked barrel, no distinctive gun shape, and a low grip. This is most likely a cheap, irregular spliced gun circulated on the black market. It does not belong to any specific type of gun, it is just usable.
The gun holder is not a professional shooter, and the movements of his hands and shoulders are very awkward, so he will feel very tired when holding the gun, and his grip will be unstable, and the gun will easily slip out of his hand.
A stream of information flows through my mind, silently, smoothly and quickly.
After a long while, Chao Ri Xi Qiu finally reacted.
Wow! My brain is so amazing, it even has the function of automatic analysis! !
In his heart, he gave his brain a thumbs up, indicating that he would eat more fish and walnuts to serve it in the future and never let watermelons hit it again.
The bus, which was originally running normally, suddenly started to move again, and there was a commotion in the driver's seat. The masked man No. 1 shouted in the front: "Fuck! Useless thing, let me drive properly!"
The driver had been shot in the head, and after the initial effect of adrenaline wore off, he felt as limp as if he had been pulled out of the water. He was completely unable to drive properly.
Even though the masked man No. 1 threatened him repeatedly, he could only make a bitter face and tremble to control the vehicle so that it would not slide so badly. He pressed the accelerator by gravity, the gear shift did not move at all, and he could hardly hold the steering wheel in his hands.
Obviously, the driver is no longer in a good condition to continue driving.
The masked man No. 1 cursed a few words in the front and shouted back: "Someone, come over and take the steering wheel!"
The robber didn't plan to drive the car himself, because that would mean he wouldn't be able to hold the gun, control the situation, and pay attention to his surroundings. He didn't want to put down his weapon.
The second masked man at the back glanced at the hostages present: excluding the mother holding a baby, the elderly who were still gasping for breath, and the students who bowed their heads and said nothing, the only ones who could drive were two young men - Kenji Hagiwara and Yuaki Asahi.
Considering that he was interrupted several times by Kenji Hagiwara just now, Masked Man No. 2's impression of Hagiwara was that he was an uncontrollable incident.
So he moved his gaze and fell on Chaohi Xiqiu who was sitting quietly beside him.
The man seemed to be in a stable mental state. Masked man No. 2 decided to let him drive.
"You!" The masked man No. 2 pointed his gun at Chao Ri Xi Qiu and shouted arrogantly, "You kid! Get up, go to the front and drive according to your orders!"
The young man turned his head away when he heard this.
Fine beads of blood oozed from the wound on his right cheek, and the redness that had just been spread by the fingertips rose diagonally upwards like a bright flag. His face was calm, and his deep golden eyes looked like animal pupils between leaves in the forest under the backlight.
"..." Masked man number two was a little nervous for some reason.
Being stared at by those eyes, an inexplicable chill spread from his spine to both sides - even though the man in front of him was unarmed, he still felt afraid.
Masked man number two watched the man in front of him stand up, and his instinctive reaction was to take a small step back.
Then, he felt ashamed and angry, and wanted to yell, "You——"
Chaohi Xiqiu stopped walking and looked at the robber without blinking.
The voice of the masked man No. 2 became mysteriously weaker: "...why don't you sit down?"
