Han Fei was a bit puzzled.
Recently, the number of cases had suddenly increased!
He didn't know why...
After all, including today, he had only been back in Ram City for two days.
Who would have thought that these two days would be non-stop work.
There were people using excavators to dig up ATMs, others tampering with barbecue seasoning, and now a bank robbery?
This crime rate... why was it shooting up so quickly?
And all of this seemed to happen after Xu Mo came to the police station...
Thinking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but glance at Xu Mo.
He wondered if this guy had the legendary "Conan syndrome".
Of course, Han Fei didn't have time to ponder this now. He had to get to the scene immediately, without a second's delay.
"Xu Mo, we've got work to do. Stop practicing and come with me."
Meanwhile.
At the bank.
"Hurry up! I want money! Give me all the money, or I'll stab him!" The agitated robber had a fruit knife pressed against the Lobby Manager's throat, forcing the teller to hand over the money.
"I know, please calm down. We're getting the money for you right now!" The teller tried to soothe the robber's emotions while retrieving the money.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with short hair, wearing a black jacket, was standing opposite the robber with his hands raised, attempting to communicate with him.
He was the police's Negotiation Expert.
Coincidentally, he happened to be in the bank when the robbery occurred.
As a Negotiation Expert, he knew how to communicate with robbers.
He felt it was his duty to step up at this moment and save ordinary people from danger!
Negotiating with robbers was his specialty.
He believed that by revealing his identity as a Negotiation Expert and stating that he could represent the police, he could make the robber lower his guard, or even give up the idea of hurting people.
"Sir, hello, I am..."
However, to the Negotiation Expert's surprise, the robber didn't wait for him to finish speaking before taking action.
The robber immediately withdrew the knife from the Lobby Manager's throat and, without a word, slashed across the Negotiation Expert's chest.
"Hello my ass! Did I ask you to speak?"
Fortunately, thanks to the protection of the ribs, the robber only slashed once instead of stabbing, so the vital organs like the heart were not harmed.
Only the outermost layer of skin and flesh was cut open.
Of course, while there was no life-threatening danger,
Bleeding and pain were inevitable.
The blood flowed quickly, soon soaking through the Negotiation Expert's clothes.
After losing a large amount of blood, the Negotiation Expert's lips began to turn pale, his body shaking uncontrollably. He soon went into shock and fainted, collapsing to the ground.
After slashing the Negotiation Expert, the robber immediately pulled back the bloodied knife and continued to point it at the Lobby Manager's throat, then shouted:
"Don't think I won't kill someone. Hurry up and get me the money! Otherwise, I'll kill you all!"
Seeing how deranged this robber was, actually daring to use his knife, the bank staff were all terrified.
Some of the more timid ones had already gone weak at the knees, unable to move even if they wanted to.
The few braver ones quickly moved the money they had taken out earlier to the counter and placed it on the ground.
"Brother, we've brought out the money for you..."
"Pack it up properly! Find something to put it in! How the hell am I supposed to carry it like this?" the robber yelled.
Hearing this, the teller went to find a large travel bag and packed the money from the ground into it.
After filling it up, they zipped it closed: "It's packed."
The robber greedily licked his lips, looking at the large travel bag full of money on the ground.
"If you had cooperated like this from the start, it would have been so much easier, damn it."
With that, he immediately released the Lobby Manager and went to grab the travel bag from the ground.
He picked up the bag and was about to run out.
However, at that moment, the police cars arrived.
Several police vehicles immediately surrounded the bank entrance, blocking any escape route.
Countless officers stepped out of the cars.
At this point, the robber hadn't managed to run out of the bank doors yet.
Seeing the officers arrive, he immediately put down the travel bag and turned to take the Lobby Manager hostage again.
There was no way he could escape now.
The officers who had come to handle the bank robbery outside definitely had guns. If he went out now, it would be like asking for death.
Taking a hostage and negotiating with the police was the best solution.
After all, that's how it always happens in TV dramas...
The Lobby Manager, who had just been released, hadn't had time to run away before being taken hostage again.
Feeling the cold touch on his neck again, he felt so bitter inside.
Couldn't this guy take someone else hostage?
Why did he always target him?
Outside the bank.
Han Fei had just stepped out of the police car when he heard the robber's voice from inside.
"Listen up, all you cops outside! Don't try anything funny, or this knife of mine won't be just for show!"
"We won't do anything rash. Don't get excited. Let's talk this out. You can state your conditions, and we'll try our best to meet them. Just don't hurt anyone, alright? How about we send in a Negotiation Expert to hear your demands?" Han Fei shouted back through a megaphone, responding to the robber.
"Hurry up, my patience is running out."
Hearing this, Han Fei took out his phone and started calling the police Negotiation Expert.
However, the call wasn't going through.
At the same time, a ringtone started playing inside the bank...
Han Fei looked into the bank and was stunned.
The Negotiation Expert he was trying to reach was lying in a pool of blood!
What a coincidence!
Han Fei put down his phone, his face grave.
"This is bad... The person lying on the ground is the Negotiation Expert. The robber has stabbed him."
After thinking for two seconds, Han Fei decided to negotiate with the robber himself.
"I'll go in and talk to the robber. You all wait out here."
As soon as he said this, Chen Ke objected: "No, Captain Han, this robber is too volatile. It's dangerous. He's already injured one person. Who knows what he might do if you go in there."
"It's fine, I can handle it. Besides, as you said, this robber is emotionally unstable. If I don't go in, he's more likely to hurt someone else," Han Fei said.
Then he turned to the SWAT Team Leader.
"Are the snipers in position?"
"They're ready."
"Good. I'll leave it to you then. I'm going in now. If the robber does anything out of line, open fire. We can't let him hurt anyone else."
"Alright..." The SWAT Team Leader had just agreed when he suddenly called out to stop Han Fei: "Wait!"
The reason was that the Sniper's voice came through the wireless earpiece.
A moment later, the SWAT Team Leader looked at Han Fei: "The robber seems to have guessed that we have snipers. He's almost completely hidden behind the hostage. The angle isn't good for a clean shot. We can't stop him from hurting people."
"Captain Han, how about... let me try?" Xu Mo suddenly spoke up from the side.
iemie, male, Race: Moon. Hobby: Collecting anomalies. At first, he thought he possessed two systems: the Crimson Rainbow Moon and the Clear Cold Frost Moon. One day, he discovered that he himself could also become a system for others, holding the chessboard of fate. The Eighth Epoch, also known as the Eternal Moon Epoch. Humans, witches, elves, bloodline descendants, specters, demons, and spirits together compose a new history. Walking the path on behalf of the moon, before he knew it, Chen Miemie's footsteps were followed by all manner of strange and wondrous anomalies. As time passed, many titles circulated about him—The King in Yellow, Lord of Anomalies, Heart of the Eternal Moon, and more. "Me? I'm just a traveler who enjoys collecting interesting creatures," Chen Miemie said.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
