Chapter 277 Humanoid Radar
According to the navigation, Yu Zhiming drove the excited Gu Qingning quickly towards the location given by Wei Hao.
When Yu Zhiming was driving halfway, a mounted police officer suddenly appeared from the side to meet him.
With a mounted police officer blaring his sirens ahead to clear the way, Yu Zhiming was able to drive at the fastest speed and smoothly arrive at an upscale residential area.
Then, the car drove directly to a residential building full of police cars and a cordon.
When Yu Zhiming got out of the car, he saw dozens of onlookers and police officers who were maintaining order all looking at him.
At this moment, Yu Zhiming felt like a protagonist who played a key and decisive role in the final battle.
"Qing Ning, just wait for me in the car, don't follow me to join in the fun."
Yu Zhiming gave Gu Qingning some instructions, and walked towards his acquaintance Wei Hao who was waiting downstairs with a step that he thought was heroic.
Although Gu Qingning really wanted to follow Yu Zhiming and cross the cordon into the residential building, she also knew that now was not the time to be willful.
She suppressed her curiosity and loudly promised to wait in the car.
He also reminded me to "be careful".
Yu Zhiming didn't even look back, but just raised his hand and waved, indicating that he understood.
He joined up with Wei Hao and together they quickly entered the residential building.
Wei Hao introduced in a quick and quiet voice, "Doctor Yu, the situation is critical. There's only one criminal and five hostages."
"The five hostages were two children, aged one and three, their mother, and their grandparents."
"Among them, the child's grandmother has been killed."
Yu Zhiming, who followed Wei Hao into the elevator, was startled and asked in confirmation, "Has the criminal killed someone?"
Wei Hao nodded seriously and said, "After the criminals broke into the house and took the hostages, they killed one person as a deterrent."
"Doctor Yu, the criminals are very cruel."
Yu Zhiming asked, "Seeking revenge? Or was it a random act?"
Wei Hao said slowly: "Debt dispute!"
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled, but couldn't help asking, "Killing over a debt dispute?"
"Is the hostage a deadbeat?"
Wei Hao explained softly, "The child's grandparents opened a company in their hometown, but they say it went bankrupt."
"The criminal is one of the company's suppliers."
At this time, the elevator stopped at the ninth floor. Yu Zhiming followed Wei Hao out of the stairs and saw armed police outside, as well as a middle-aged police officer who looked like a commander.
"Doctor Yu, thank you for coming to support us."
The middle-aged police officer said politely while shaking Yu Zhiming's hand vigorously. Then he led the way and introduced: "The hijacking scene is in the room upstairs."
"We temporarily requisitioned the downstairs apartment. The upstairs and downstairs have the same architectural layout."
"Doctor Yu, we urgently hope that you can help us accurately locate the criminal's location and condition."
As they were talking, Yu Zhiming followed the middle-aged police officer into a house.
Yu Zhiming was a little stunned.
Not to mention the elegant and luxurious decoration, furniture and appliances of this family's home, the area of the living room and dining room alone is at least 40 to 50 square meters.
Yu Zhiming only took a quick glance and saw five rooms and a large balcony.
This is a real luxury house, at least 200 square meters.
Considering that the average house price in the inner ring is over 100,000, this house alone is worth 20 to 30 million.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you were bankrupt? How did you still have the money to buy such a nice house?"
Wei Hao whispered, "Doctor Yu, the company's bankruptcy doesn't mean personal bankruptcy."
He pointed upwards again, "The owner of the house upstairs is the son of that old couple."
"This property transfer scheme..."
Seeing the middle-aged police officer looking at him sharply, Wei Hao quickly kept silent.
"Doctor Yu, let's put aside this financial dispute. What we need to solve now is a major criminal case of hijacking and murder."
The middle-aged police officer said in a deep voice, "Doctor Yu, we've learned that the criminal has liver cancer and is likely planning to die together with his family."
"One hostage has already been killed, and the second and third hostages may be killed at any time."
"Doctor Yu, there is no time to lose. We need to find a solution as soon as possible."
It turns out he is a liver cancer patient?
This means you are willing to sacrifice your life and go all out.
Yu Zhiming looked up at the roof, which was out of reach, and whispered, "I need a ladder."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the armed police officers who followed them ran out, presumably to find a ladder.
Yu Zhiming suddenly thought of something and asked, "Don't we have thermal imaging cameras?"
"It's often seen in movies and TV shows, where you can clearly see people in a building through the walls."
Wei Hao explained, "Doctor Yu, thermal imaging cameras have very poor penetrating power. They can't even penetrate thick curtains."
"The criminals have a certain degree of anti-reconnaissance awareness. The windows of the upstairs rooms and the French windows are all covered with curtains."
"We had no idea what was going on in the room."
After a pause, Wei Hao added, "Doctor Yu, the device you mentioned that can detect through walls is a wall-penetrating radar."
"That's military special operations equipment. We don't have it."
"Doctor Yu, you are now our human radar."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and then asked, "Didn't the criminal make any demands? Was it just for revenge?"
Wei Hao glanced at the middle-aged police officer and, seeing he didn't show any reaction, he said, "Yes."
"Have 13.49 million transferred to an overseas account within four hours."
"Why isn't it an integer?" Yu Zhiming was curious.
Wei Hao explained, "The homeowner said that the man had come to collect the debt several times. This amount of money was owed by the bankrupt company to more than 20 suppliers and customers."
Yu Zhiming was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why don't you agree to the criminals' demands first and try to resolve the issue peacefully?"
The middle-aged police officer said slowly, "The criminals killed a hostage at the very beginning. There's no way this can be resolved peacefully."
"We must prevent criminals from committing more crimes."
Yu Zhiming said softly: "The criminals started killing people, perhaps to show their determination to fight to the death."
"That doesn't mean that if we do what he asks, he will continue to kill people."
The middle-aged police officer frowned and looked around and said, "Doctor Yu, you just need to provide the specific location of the hostages and the criminals upstairs."
"We'll take care of the rest."
When Yu Zhiming heard him say this, he knew that he was meddling in other people's business, so he kept silent.
At this time, the armed police officer who ran out also carried in an eight-shaped ladder.
"Everyone, be quiet, don't talk or move around!"
Yu Zhiming gave some instructions, climbed up the ladder, and placed his hands on the ceiling of the living room.
He listened attentively for a moment, then went down the ladder.
"Go to that house!"
Under Yu Zhiming's command, Wei Hao and his men moved the ladder to what was clearly the master bedroom...
This time, Yu Zhiming listened attentively for three or four minutes, and then slowly described the scene he heard.
Two adults and a child were in the cloakroom.
There was also an adult standing at the corner of the cloakroom and the bedroom, holding a child in his arms.
According to Yu Zhiming's introduction, the middle-aged police officer called over three more policemen and asked them to sit or stand one by one according to the directions and postures Yu Zhiming said.
For children, use pillows instead.
After the police took their positions according to Yu Zhiming's instructions, the middle-aged police officer's face turned very dark.
Because the corner where the criminal was standing was almost a blind spot, it was impossible to carry out long-range sniping from outside the balcony.
The most important thing is that the criminal was holding a child in his arms.
This is a blind shot and it is easy to cause accidental injuries.
The current approach is to delay negotiations with the criminals while looking for a suitable opportunity.
This made Yu Zhiming suffer.
He had to stand on an eight-shaped ladder and constantly monitor the criminals' positions and movements.
After nearly an hour, Yu Zhiming couldn't bear it anymore. His legs were numb, his arms were sore, and his head was a little dizzy.
He complained, "I can't hold on for much longer like this."
"My endurance is limited, and so must the criminal. Don't forget he's a liver cancer patient."
Yu Zhiming warned: "If he can't hold on, he might kill someone."
The middle-aged policeman frowned and said, "The negotiation team is negotiating with the criminals and they have agreed to pay."
Yu Zhiming asked probingly, "Where does the money come from? From the government? Isn't this just a false alarm?"
"The criminals must have put a lot of effort into planning this crime and would not have failed to consider this."
"Don't piss him off."
The middle-aged police officer said depressedly: "Doctor Yu, you are worrying about nothing. We have considered it more thoroughly than you."
After a pause, he continued, "According to the criminals' request, we contacted a bank and made special arrangements. We had the homeowner sign a property mortgage agreement and urgently released a loan of over 13 million yuan."
"We're going through the process now. It's estimated to take another half an hour, and the money will be transferred..."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and focused most of his attention on investigating the movements of the person upstairs.
In the torment of feeling uncomfortable all over, every minute and every second felt like a day or a year.
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly, Yu Zhiming “saw” some abnormal movements of the criminals.
I only "saw" him take something out of his pocket, look at it, and then put the child down in his arms.
"He put the child down..."
"He walked out of the corner..."
"He came to the French window..."
"He just stood there motionless."
"You, move another ten centimeters to the left. Okay, don't move."
Yu Zhiming carefully corrected the position of the policeman who represented the relative position of the criminals.
He looked at the middle-aged police officer again and asked, "Now that the demands have been met, the criminals should have surrendered, right?"
The middle-aged police officer said in a deep voice: "Doctor Yu, now is the most dangerous moment."
At this time, Yu Zhiming heard the police broadcast.
"Your request has been fulfilled. Within ten seconds, come to the balcony and stand with your hands raised."
"In ten seconds, come to the balcony and stand with your hands raised!"
"Within ten seconds, come to the balcony and stand with your hands raised..."
As the ultimatum was shouted, Yu Zhiming's heart became tighter and tighter, as if someone was grabbing it tightly.
But that person remained motionless...
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the man flew backwards in the air as if kicked by a giant...
