Chapter 83 Hospital (VI)
Liang Xi's speculation on the first floor is the best speculation. The criminals will do whatever is most beneficial to them. The situation is similar to what Liang Xi said. The 21 hostages were divided into three groups, each guarded by a gunman. The hostages' hands were handcuffed behind their backs, their feet were cuffed, and they stood in a circle with their backs to their backs. There was an object in the circle, and a bomb was placed on the object.
The elevator opened, and one of the gangsters looked at the masked Liang Xi and nodded: "That's enough."
Liang Xi reached out and picked up the ID card hanging in front of Bobby, pointing to the upper floor. The criminal nodded casually. Liang Xi drove Bobby and Karin back into the elevator: "This is a big trouble."
Liang Xi knew what Bobby was going to ask, so he said quickly, "I speculate that there are criminals among the hostages. I am sure that the criminals are attracting the police to attack. The police thought that there were only three criminals guarding the hostages, so they would use snipers or assaulters to shoot the criminals. At this time, the mole hidden among the hostages detonated the bomb. The police must be held responsible for all the dead hostages."
First, the position where the three gangsters were standing was strange. They did not have any cover, and the police could use three snipers to shoot them at the same time.
Secondly, the three gangsters did not look around to defend themselves, but just looked at the hostage in front of them. They didn't even care when the elevator rang or they got out of the elevator.
Third, there are enough people! There are three bodies lying on the ground, and these three people are also extra people. In other words, the criminals do not want to insert more hostages into the hostage group.
Liang Xi speculated that there were criminals among the hostages, but he was not sure. However, Liang Xi was sure that the three criminals were waiting to die. The value of waiting to die was also speculated , so that the police could take the blame. No national police department could take the blame for the sudden death of dozens of hostages. This may explain why the man died for a long time and no accomplices came to look for him.
The most fatal thing is that the elevator is going up or down. Every extra second it stops will make the monitoring criminals more suspicious. The next step is the best strategy. According to Liang Xi's judgment, the criminals are not interested in searching and killing them in the morgue. They can rely on the iron door and the morgue door to delay time. But assuming that his inference is correct, the three of them can survive, but all the hostages on the first floor must die.
The third floor is the main target of the criminals. If they can kill Prince Hader in front of the global netizens, it will be an absolute victory for the criminals. There will be a lot of criminals in this position. If there are at least three criminals on the first floor and the third floor is the main target of the criminals, then the second floor is the safest place.
Liang Xi did not ask for their opinions and pressed the second floor because there was no time. Liang Xi took Bobby's communicator and pressed the blue call button: "Once the police shoot the three gangsters on the first floor, the bomb will explode. I think there is a fourth gangster on the first floor. Find him before the action."
Bodyguard: "Is Bobby okay?"
Bobby: "I'm fine."
The elevator opened, and Liang Xi saw two gunmen five meters away looking at him. After seeing Liang Xi dressed up, the two men put down their submachine guns. Damn it, my guess was wrong again.
When Liang Xi stopped, the elevator door slowly closed. The elevator in the hospital closed from left to right. The two gangsters were very surprised. One gangster felt something was wrong and was about to press the elevator button. Liang Xi pointed his finger at the bright moon outside the window in the elevator. The two gangsters looked back at the bright moon, and when they looked back again, the elevator had closed and started to move upwards.
The third floor was empty. Bobby pulled his hand away and said, "Your speculation is totally wrong. The main force of the criminals is on the second floor."
Liang Xi said: "I'm not a god, how can I be completely right? But it's basically right. If I'm not mistaken, the ID door leading to the VIP ward has been locked."
Liang Xi took off his mask, took out his phone, and called someone unsurely. A voice came over the intercom: "Liang Xi, this is Isa."
Bobby took out the communicator: "Hi, I'm Bobby." and looked at Karin.
Karin said, "Karin." She was glad that she didn't rush out on the first floor. At that time, she was ready to grab Liang Xi's submachine gun. The three human targets within 10 meters were not difficult for her. Now she held the dagger in her hand, paying attention to the elevator, guarding the staircase, and paying attention to the bunker. She thought the criminals would probably chase to the third floor. But Liang Xi inferred that the criminals' plan was well prepared and there would be no complications.
Bobby introduced the situation to Isa, shamelessly taking the blame for Liang Xi's speculation. The three of them walked to the VIP ID door, where the red light was turning. Bobby said, "As I speculated, the VIP ID door has been locked."
Issa asked, “And then?”
Bobby said, "Then I'll let my assistant talk to you."
Liang Xi took the intercom and asked, "Isa, are there armed forces in the VIP ward?"
Isa replied, "There is only one bodyguard, Prince Hader, a pistol, a few nurses and two doctors."
Liang Xi said: "There is almost no way to crack these two ID doors. I guess they are going to use explosives to dig a hole on the second floor, leading directly to the VIP ward. They are now ignoring the outsiders. They only do two things: guard the second floor and sacrifice the first floor."
Isa said, "Yes, that's probably why they ignored the negotiation experts and refused to talk to the police. What can you do?"
Liang Xi said: "We can hide."
Isa vomited blood: "Can you give me a little more?"
Liang Xi said: "Bobby and I lack execution. I am willing to take risks to save people, but I am not willing to die." There is an essential difference between taking risks to save people and sacrificing oneself to save people. The former can be a gamble, while the latter is a one-way ticket to hell.
Karin said, "Can you tell me what you can do?"
Liang Xi said: "I personally speculate that there is a gangster among the hostages in the lobby on the first floor, and he will detonate the bomb after the police launch an attack. Don't think that the signal jammer can stop him. From the hostages' sitting posture and the fact that the gangster is motionless, I speculate that the bomb is a wired detonator. The hostages are standing in a circle with their backs to each other, and the surveillance camera cannot capture their hands, so it is impossible to determine who the fourth gangster is."
Liang Xi said: "Do you police dare to confirm who the fourth gangster is? Do you dare to take the risk of shooting at the suspected gangster? If you are wrong, it means you deliberately shot and killed the hostages. Logically speaking, this is also a solution. As long as you kill all the hostages, the gangster will have nowhere to hide."
Yisha smiled: "Although this is not the time to joke, I still want to laugh." Regardless of whether she was nervous or not, her tone was relaxed because she knew that Liang Xi and the others were even more nervous.
Karin asked, "What about the second step? Assuming we resolve the hostage situation on the first floor, what is the second step?"
Liang Xi said: "What can we do? Just hit him directly." The goddess's brain is not very useful.
Karin was a little overwhelmed. Why did she ask such a stupid question? No, what do you mean by dying in vain?
Liang Xi said: "Isa, once they get through the third floor and capture Prince Had, everything will enter the countdown."
Isa asked, "Are you sure there is a fourth gangster?" The most troublesome thing is the hostages on the first floor. Now the special police have arrived at the rooftop of the hospital, but they are afraid to take any action.
Liang Xi said: "I'm not sure about anything."
Isa said: "The best way is for you to continue disguising yourself as a criminal and go to the first floor to identify the fourth criminal." The police connected to the hospital surveillance and saw Liang attacking three people in the elevator.
Karin understood. This was what Liang Xi meant by seeking death.
Before Liang Xi could answer, Isa said, "We can't let a civilian take risks. Even if you want to, I don't recommend it."
Liang Xi agreed: "I don't want to."
Isa: "If you really want to take risks, I can't stop you."
Liang Xi said: "I won't make things difficult for you."
Isa was speechless. She had great confidence in Liang Xi. If Liang Xi could go to the first floor to find the criminals, it would greatly increase the chances of the police raid. But as Isa said, she couldn't ask a civilian to take risks.
