Chapter VI: Hostages

On the surface, it may seem that the low detection rate of the police department has little to do with the increase in crime, but this is not the case.

Suppose we divide the people into three categories: good, evil, and in-between, where good refers to the category of people who will not consider breaking the law in any state; Evil is just the opposite, always holding on to the psychology of luck and hoping to get it through illegal means; And the kind in the middle state, between good and evil, to see which side can get more benefits.

There is no doubt that the people in the middle state should be the majority, after all, the absolute evil and the absolute good are in the minority, and most people are both good and evil in their hearts, that is, they usually seem to be good people, but under certain conditions, they will stimulate the evil in their hearts, so they will do evil things. Just because he usually looks like a wicked person doesn't mean he won't do good.

This is like a struggle between good and evil in the hearts of the people, and the rate of solving cases by the public security department plays a very important role in this.

If the public security department has a high rate of solving cases, lawbreakers will always be punished for committing crimes, and justice will always be served, so all the people will realize that the cost of doing things that violate the law is too high, and the possibility of relying on illegal means to obtain benefits is too small, so they will naturally choose to stand on the side of good.

On the contrary, if the outlaws always succeed, and after they succeed, they can get away with it and even show off their might in front of other people, so the people will think, "What are we working so hard for?" Look at people, as long as you do this for a lifetime, you won't have to worry about it, and there will be nothing! ”。

As a result, more and more people will take chances to challenge the law. This form shì does not get the control of the emergency zhì. Then the people of the whole country will ignore the existence of the law. In the end, the whole country was in chaos.

To put it simply, the pressure of a foreign war in our country is not small, and this pressure comes from two sides, on the one hand, the actual battle that Vietnam has already started, and on the other hand, the secret war with the Soviet Union and the actual battle that is very likely to break out. Internally, reforms are being carried out from a planned economy to a market economy, as well as in the party, government, and military.

Reform is good on the whole, of course, but it also means instability, and it comes with labor pains and various problems, such as high unemployment. Problems that people can't adapt to, and so on.

Under this wave of reform, if the public security departments still stick to the old rules, they will obviously not be able to adapt to the current society.

"Report to the battalion commander!" At this time, Daniel Zhang's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "We have reached the highway bridge, please instruct!" ”

"Good!" I ordered: "Set up checkpoints and strictly investigate, pay attention to the fact that the murderer may have 56 punches on his body, be careful to deal with it!" ”

"Yes!"

Subsequently, I ordered several helicopters to carry several squads of fighters to several farther roads and mountain roads to set up checkpoints.

This was just in case, because the information we had was two hours behind, and no one dared to guarantee that the murderer had already crossed the highway bridge we had set up.

The reason for setting up a card on the mountain road is because I don't dare to be 100% sure that the murderer will definitely not take the mountain road, anyway, we are only chasing the murderer, and I have more than 200 soldiers under my command. If you can set up a few more cards, you can set up a few more, and there is nothing to lose us.

This in turn illustrates the importance of helicopter maneuvering. If there were no helicopters...... There is a way to set up a card on the highway, after all, there is a public security bureau in every township, and it is okay to make a phone call to let the public security bureau help set up a card to intercept, the disadvantage is that it is not very easy to transmit the photos in the identification, and the public security bureau in this era has not yet sent a fax machine or a network to transmit photos or something. On the mountain road, there is no choice but to send someone to chase after him from behind.

It is undoubtedly much more convenient to have a helicopter, and you can intercept wherever you want.

It's just that I soon found out that these arrangements were unnecessary, because Daniel Zhang's slightly anxious report soon came from the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander, intercept the murderer, the murderer shot at us, and one of our soldiers was injured!" ”

"What? Are all fighters wounded? ”

"Yes!" Daniel Zhang replied: "The fierce ride was in a passenger car, there were dozens of passengers on it, when our two fighters took the photo to people, the murderer coldly pulled out his hand and shot us, one soldier was injured in the shoulder, not life-threatening, was snatched back!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, this guy really has two hands, after that layer of fog, he will finally know to choose the bus to escape, and now those dozens of passengers will undoubtedly become his hostages.

"Don't act rashly!" Thinking of this, I immediately ordered: "Pay attention to the safety of people's lives, don't shoot unless you have to, and don't let the bus pass through the checkpoint, wait for us to come!" ”

"Yes!" Daniel Zhang answered and was busy directing.

The road bridge was not far from where we were, and the road near it was very flat, so the convoy was at its destination in less than half an hour with full horsepower.

It just upset me that we heard a fierce burst of gunfire before we had even reached our target......

"What kind of fame?!" I hurriedly shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Didn't you tell you not to act rashly?" What if you hit the people like this? ”

"Battalion commander!" Daniel Zhang replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "I have already passed on the order, but I have not stopped after calling several times, and as soon as the murderer shoots, there are always a few soldiers who can't help but shoot back!" ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but "clump" in my heart, I hope this people are not injured by mistake.

The reality is even worse than I imagined...... When I arrived at my destination, I saw a passenger car parked in the middle of the highway bridge, full of bullet holes, blood all over the window and the side of the car, and there were bursts of cries for help and cries from inside. Needless to say, there must have been casualties among the people.

"All of them! No shots! "This was my first order when I arrived on the scene.

"Battalion commander!" One soldier questioned my order: "The murderer has 56 punches in his hand, how can he subdue the gangsters without firing?!" ”

"yes, are we still standing one by one for him to fight?"

……

Listening to the words of the soldiers, I realized that I had made a mistake, and the most lacking thing in the armed police company was not that they did not have enough military knowledge, nor that they were not good enough, but that they did not know how to deal with the hostage-taking situation in front of them.

To put it simply, they are soldiers, and their combat thinking is still stuck in the state of "the enemy shoots at me, and I shoot at the enemy in order to protect myself" on the battlefield, without considering whether they can avoid harming innocent people as much as possible or do their best to reduce the possibility of taking down the murderer.

Thinking of this, I yelled at the soldiers angrily: "Just because of these reasons, you are shooting bullets at your own people? If your mom and dad were in there, you'd do that?! ”

As soon as I said that, the soldiers were silent.

"What's the situation?" I asked Daniel Zhang who caught up with me with a blue face.

"Report!" Daniel Zhang replied: "There was a small-scale shootout, and the murderer shot and killed people in the bus, saying that we should let him pass, and if he didn't let him pass, he would kill someone every ten minutes!" ”

"Hmm!" Listening to this, I understood why the fighters were in a hurry to shoot.

It should be said that at this time we are in a dilemma, and it is impossible to let the murderer go through the Kana...... Nine times out of ten, he'll find an opportunity to slip away. Yes, we could have followed, but the murderer is likely to play the same trick of dropping the hostages out of the car and leaving us too busy to save people and have no time to track them down, and the result is that the casualties of the hostages may be even greater.

Under this premise, not firing a gun means that a hostage will be killed every ten minutes, but shooting may also kill the murderer to prevent him from committing the murder, although this is likely to injure civilians by mistake, but this accidental injury may be much smaller than the murderer killing one every ten minutes.

"Are the snipers set up?" I asked Daniel Zhang.

That's when the sniper comes into play.

"It's set!" Daniel Zhang raised his head to the high ground behind him, and replied: "It's just that the sniper can't play a role, on the one hand, because of the poor line of sight, only the windows can see the internal situation of the bus, too low, too high the line of sight will be blocked, and there are many passengers inside, plus the murderer also has a strong sense of anti-sniper, always using the hostage's body to cover, so ......"

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, I really didn't know how to solve such a thing.

At this time, I heard a hoarse roar in the bus: "Let me go, if you don't let me go again, I'm going to kill someone!" ”

Then there were two "bang" shots, and there was another scream from inside the bus.

"Don't mess around!" I raised my little horn and shouted at the bus: "We are asking our superiors for instructions to let you go, you have also been a soldier, and you know that we can't be the masters of the army." If you kill people again, then the hostages will die in your hands anyway, and we have no choice but to attack! ”

"You fucking scare me!" The voice inside shouted viciously: "Lao Tzu doesn't care about this life for a long time, there are so many people who carry me and I am not wronged at all." Don't talk nonsense, give you ten minutes, and if you don't let Lao Tzu go, you will start killing! ”

Ten minutes......

What can you do in ten minutes?

In other words, we have been fighting for life and death on the battlefield for some years, and although we have encountered problems, we have never encountered such a problem as now, which is the life of an innocent person.

Only then did I realize that the work of the armed police was far from being as simple as I had imagined. (To be continued......)
