This time, it was on the rooftop of a company building. We heard that an employee there was being held hostage.
We rushed to the scene immediately after receiving the alarm notification.
This was Fuming City's Pin Yue Company, a real estate business. The company building was nine stories tall. We took the elevator to the rooftop. As we stood outside the rooftop door, a cacophony of noises came from outside.
"Don't come in, or I'll kill him. I've wanted to die with this bastard for a long time. This is a good opportunity, ha ha, heaven is helping me, why is my luck so good!"
"Don't be impulsive, brother. How did I offend you to make you treat me like this?"
"You bastard, you've forgotten, haven't you? Haha, I won't tell you, so you'll die without knowing why!"
"Brother, you must be crazy. I have no quarrel with you. You don't need to do this!"
With the help of several police officers, I learned that the perpetrator was carrying a bomb. The man had put on a jacket fully rigged with explosives, then pulled out a dagger and held an employee, a project manager, hostage. The criminal was formerly the manager's subordinate.
I tapped on the rooftop door and said to the inside, "Sir, please calm down. I am Officer He, here to negotiate with you!"
"I don't need anyone's help. You all leave. This is between him and me. If you come in, you'll only be endangered! Although I've done wrong, I can still distinguish between right and wrong. I won't harm innocent people!"
"But this is my duty as a police officer. I have to talk to you. Even if you don't allow it, I will come in!"
The other party became extremely angry and cursed, "If you dare to come in, I'll press the controller immediately. The switch for this bomb is on me. Come in if you have the guts!"
I glanced at my uncle, who finally spoke. "Listen clearly, inside criminal. From your current position, we can arrange for a sniper at any time. If you refuse to negotiate, we'll shoot you dead, and you won't even have time to detonate the bomb!"
"Don't try to scare me. I'll detonate it before then!" the other party said confidently.kanshu
Liu Yuning, seeing the situation was not good, also spoke. "Sir, I've investigated your situation. You have a child and a wife. Are you going to abandon them? It's not worth it to cause such a commotion over a small grievance. Think of your family!"
"Hmph, if it weren't for him, my family would have fallen apart. They're leaving me. Don't you know? This is why I've ended up on this path."
"Then let us send someone in to talk to you, how about that? They are professionals. Even if you have any pain, they can help you resolve it," Liu Yuning probed.
The man inside seemed hesitant and was silent for a while. When he spoke again, he surprisingly said, "Miss police officer, since you speak so nicely, let it be you!"
"Is this okay?" Liu Yuning asked in surprise, turning to look at me and my uncle.
I immediately replied, "Isn't this too dangerous? It would be better for me to go."
"No, I want that female police officer. I won't negotiate with anyone else. If I see someone other than her, I'll detonate it immediately!"
"This scoundrel!" I cursed softly, but Liu Yuning showed a determined expression. "Don't worry, if you can do it, I can too!"
With that, she took a small step forward and carefully pushed open the rooftop iron door. As she stepped out, we all saw the situation outside, but only for a few seconds, because the perpetrator demanded that Liu Yuning close the door.
Just now, I saw that there was no one else on the rooftop, only the perpetrator and one man. That's better. If there were other innocent people there, we would have had to find a way to evacuate them.
We could only communicate via radio. He Xin's surveillance device from before was not available. She said it was very difficult to make one, and she wouldn't have used it if it weren't for the previous case.
After the door was closed, I could only hear Liu Yuning's voice. "Sir, I've looked into your situation. In fact, you're doing okay in all aspects. Why are you being so impulsive? If you release the hostage now, we'll find a bomb disposal expert to help you! How about it?"
"I don't need a bomb disposal expert. This suit won't be a problem as long as I take it off and don't press the controller. By the way, female police officer, you're quite good-looking!"
"I'm just an ordinary person in the police force. Sir, what's your name?"
"My name is Cai Mingjie!"
"That's a nice name. Your wife is Cai Shangshang, right? You share the same surname, and your daughter is perfectly normal. This is very fortunate!"
Liu Yuning was using conversation to bridge the gap with the criminal.
When Cai Mingjie's wife and daughter were mentioned, he seemed to waver. I couldn't see his expression and could only discern some things from his breathing.
His breathing was much more rapid now than before, which indicated he was reminiscing.
But after a while, he cursed again, "But Shangshang asked for a divorce a few days ago. She wants to take my daughter away and said she'll never come back! This is all because I lost my job and am deeply in debt! Do you know that's why I've resorted to this?"
"Even so, you don't need to be impulsive. Tell us the details of what happened. Perhaps we can help you!" Liu Yuning said cautiously.
"You can't understand. I bought stocks from this bastard, this Manager Huang. He said the stocks would definitely make money. I didn't want to buy at first, and even if I did, I'd only spend a little. I don't know how he managed to persuade me to invest all my savings!"
"So how much money do you owe?" Liu Yuning asked.
Cai Mingjie hesitated, as if he didn't dare to mention the amount, but he still said it. "5 million. The entire stock market has fallen severely. I've lost all my capital and owe so much money. What am I supposed to do? My wife and daughter were extremely disappointed when they found out about this and immediately thought of leaving. This liar drove me insane!"
At this moment, Manager Huang said, "No, Xiao Jie, you can't blame me. Investment always has risks. Don't say you owe money, I do too, just not as much as you!"
"You're talking nonsense. Do you think I don't know you just wanted to find a guinea pig to help you? When we lost money, you stopped buying. Several people in the company were also scammed!"
At this point, Liu Yuning picked up Cai Mingjie's words. "Since there are other victims in the company, they are not like you. Calm down. We might be able to find a way to resolve the money issue."
