Chapter 461 The Ten-Day Crisis (1)
Of course, I had to go to play with snow in such cold weather. Poppy also went to Iceland under the persuasion of Daisy and his father. He threw his vacation villa in Iceland to Liang Xi and Karin, and he had fun with his local friends.
The resort villa comes with a hot spring, and he soaks in the backyard hot spring pool with his girlfriend in the backyard and watches the aurora. The house is full of heating, the oven is roasted with steak, drinks and wine, and life is simply beautiful. Liang Xi realized the role of money for the first time. With his consumption habit of buying a set of clothes of 100 pounds, he would never know what the difference is between 8 million pounds and 100 million pounds of purchasing power.
Karin was not so lucky. She sucked for a while and then bit her lip and left in a hurry. Liang Xi could only lament: This relative came in time. After a while, Karin changed into a set of clothes and brought the steak out with a smile, cut the steak into pieces, and fed it to the mourning Liang Xi.
There are many activities to have fun around the resort villa, including skiing, ice skating, ice cave fishing, snowball fights, hot springs, and eating. Immersed in the holidays, and when the two of them lingered, London became Mumbai.
At 6 pm local time in London, vending machines exploded one after another in northern London. Twenty-seven vending machines exploded within three minutes, killing three people at the scene and countless injured. At 6:15 pm, three gangsters attacked a famous Italian restaurant in London. Seventeen staff and twenty diners were held hostage. Among the diners were two women, one was named Viner Windsor and the other was named Rose Windsor. They were seventeen and twenty-one years old, and were the two daughters of Duke Gloucester, a member of the British royal family. Due to the Duke's aristocratic status, the two daughters can also be called royal members.
The so-called surround refers to non-royal members of the royal family of royal blood... For example, the princess married A, and A is usually hereditary nobles. Their children belong to the surround members. Before the official members died, it was almost impossible for them to inherit the throne. The two girls were not protected by the Ministry of Operations because they were only surrounds, but their mother was a princess, their father was a duke, and they were equipped with bodyguards.
However, the two girls didn't want to be too conspicuous, so they asked the bodyguards to eat and rest on their own and wait for their phone calls. This is also normal, because today's diners are either rich or noble. All this comes from the fact that this Italian restaurant is so famous that you have to book one to three weeks in advance to have a seat. Ordinary people don't even think about the location on weekends.
Rose bravely stood up to negotiate with the criminals, and also explained her identity and asked to only keep herself hostages. But this is not a movie. The criminals were only ecstatic and completely regarded her negotiation request as fart.
Liang Xi was wrapped in his pajamas and stood in the greenhouse to watch the news. News reports that the gangsters had made a request. They demanded the release of twelve terrorists detained by the British army in the Middle East. If this requirement is met within 24 hours, the gangsters will release half of the hostages. If this requirement is not met within 24 hours, the gangsters will eliminate half of the hostages. The camera captured Rose put on a bomb vest, shivered and raised her hands, and was pushed to the door by the gangsters. The gangsters were soon pulled back and put down the security door of the restaurant. The security door was made of solid steel, a cylinder as thick as half a fist.
Karin said: "The criminal only has three pistols and some explosives, and there seems to be no intention of making big moves."
"I agree, I think the gangsters attacking the restaurant are like vending machines, which are baits that attract the attention of the police." Liang Xi, who had been standing still, replied Karin and called Liu Zhen: "Are you busy?"
Half of the people in the Counter-Terrorism Office were calling to find out the situation. The superiors had no orders to go to the Counter-Terrorism Office. Roger closed his eyes leisurely and hummed. Liu Zhen answered at the messy situation: "Not busy."
Liang Xi said: "After Sasha was detained by Blade, did Blade search for Sasha's company, which is a company that specializes in replenishing regional vending machines?"
Liu Zhen: "That's right, it's called Colin Company, and the person in charge is a Middle Eastern man."
Liang Xi said: "The vending machine that exploded should have been responsible for Sasha's Colin Company. Blade temporarily stopped the company's business and investigated them due to safety reasons, so the headquarters asked another company to be responsible for this area."
Liu Zhen: "That's right."
Liang Xi asked: "Is this company responsible for the preparations for large-scale events?"
"Wait." Liu Zhen: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, don't hang up, I'll send you a message right away."
Liang Xi may have heard from the earpiece that the Counter-terrorism office is now in a mess. Xiaobai was guided by Sierra, and his business level has increased. Soon Liu Zhen said: "They are responsible for supplying a football stadium, except for vending machines, popcorn, hot dogs, sausages, etc., and there are all delivered by them. There is a League Cup at 8 o'clock in the football stadium. It is now 7:50."
Liang Xi said: "A bet, bet they will detonate at halftime."
Liu Zhenting said with tears: "This is not a bet, it's a lot of bets, and it's a big roulette." Liu Zhenting understood Liang Xi. Through Liang Xi's analysis, she knew Liang Xi's reasoning process. There was not much logic in this process, and a clue was bitten to death.
It is possible that the football field will explode. The possibility may be 10%, or 20%. But Liang Xi has no other clues, so there is only one way left. Since you are not busy, go bet! This is also a big bet that Liang Xi bets with his reputation. This big bet Liang Xi did not consider too much this time, he only considered one thing: to stop them.
When the football field is in the first and second half of the football match, even if the rest area explodes, the audience can still enter the lawn of the football field without causing too much casualties. The best time is the 15-minute halftime break. During these 15 minutes, many people will enter the commercial area inside, go to the toilet, eat something, and buy jerseys and souvenirs. Once the explosion occurs, crowding and trampling will inevitably lead to major security incidents. People outside want to go in to save friends and relatives, but the people inside try their best to squeeze out because the news is asymmetric, and it is impossible to imagine what kind of tragedy will be caused.
Liu Zhen took the intercom and ordered: "Liang Xi just called. An emergency combat meeting was held 30 seconds later." Operations personnel from the Counter-Terrorism Office have become superstitious that Liang Xi's phone calls always bring something special.
Liu Zhen had an idea in his mind, and all the personnel entered the football field in plain clothes. Then it was more troublesome. The first choice was to control the entrance and exit, and let the broadcast notify all fans to take refuge on the court. Once Liang Xi made a mistake, not only Liang Xi was defeated in the judicial world, but he also had to lose his career. The second choice was to control the intersection and search for bombs. This choice would inevitably alarm the gangsters at the scene, which would likely cause small-scale chaos and may lead to casualties among some people. This choice could advance or retreat. Even if the bomb was not found, it could explain that a security defense inspection would not have any consequences.
Liu Zhen has a third choice. After the opening of the meeting, Liu Zhen said to Roger in the first sentence: "You are ready to take the blame. Brothers, come over and focus, and time is very tight."
Gu Yi
Roger spread his hands lightly and was just a culprit. Fighting is nothing he has to do with him. His job is to come to the anti-terrorism office to take the blame. When he is old, being able to take the blame is his final value. The woman in front of him has very strong execution and is superstitious about Liang Xi. He has been waiting for Liang Xi to make mistakes once. He wants to take the blame, let the two young people learn lessons and end their mission, and even memorize the lines before parting.
But TM, after half a year passed in the blink of an eye, why didn’t you make any mistakes?
...
Hang off Liu Zhen's phone, Karin helped Liang Xi sit down, pressed Liang Xi's shoulder with both hands. Although Liang Xi still did not exercise excessively today, Liang Xi's nerves have been tense since the incident, and the attention is entirely on London.
At this moment, Liang Xi began to regret: "I ran away, why are you still worried? Maybe I will lose all my reputation."
Karin asked: "Aren't you worried that Liu Zhen will be harmed by you?"
Liang Xi said: "Roger is here. Isa talked to me. Liu Zhen is a supervisor that both Director and Donald admire. Liu Zhen is a front-line supervisor who starts from the grassroots of the police. Compared to the blade formed by Isa, Liu Zhen is more serious about the law. Of course, they are wrong, because Liu Zhen has become a fan policeman after he became a policeman, and fans sometimes need to use the gray area of the law."
The law stipulates that flour cannot be provided to others, and doing things is another matter. Give the informant a gram of flour and he can sell his mother. The most important thing about the flour team is intelligence, which can be exchanged for a lot of intelligence. On the contrary, talking about law, reasoning, and life with addicts is completely about playing the piano for cows.
However, Liu Zhen has a good image. She is a celebrity in London and is known as the Iron Lady of the Police. Furthermore, whether in the fan team or the Counter-Terrorism Office, Liu Zhencheng is obvious to all. The main purpose of sending Roger to be the director of the Counter-Terrorism Office is to train Liu Zhen, give Liu Zhen time to study, and prepare for Liu Zhen to take over as the official supervisor in the future.
If your girlfriend hurts you, you can't show it. If your girlfriend doesn't hurt, you must show it very much. Liang Xilakalin asked her to sit beside her and watch TV together: "I hope I'm right, otherwise there will definitely be a big wave in other places."
Karin said: "The Italian restaurant is already big enough."
Liang Xi agreed and expressed his opinion: "We know that the Holy Flag is different from the traditional ones. The Holy Flag accepts the assignment of Mr. X to a certain extent. I have a bold idea. Is there a target that Mr. X wants to get rid of in the Italian restaurant? You see, these two royal sisters temporarily get the position through their identities, so we will eliminate them first. After excluding them, you will find that the behavior of the three people attacking the restaurant is not appropriate."
Liang Xi said: "More than ten staff members, about twenty customers, and there are only three criminals. The criminals cannot even control the hostages and passages at the same time, so many hostages will definitely sneak away. In addition, if the criminals really intend to threaten the hostages and make requests, why are there only three people? There are not even people who change shifts and rest. Secondly, they can bring weapons to the prosperous area and do not need to enter the restaurant at all. The pedestrian streets are crowded. They kill people and create panic and trampling. Isn't the effect better than attacking the restaurant?"
Liang Xi said again: "There is another point, why are many terrorists targeting civilians? One reason is that civilians have poor protection capabilities, and another reason is that you originally hoped to force a country to surrender through attacks, such as successfully forcing Spain to withdraw troops through terrorist attacks. As a result, you killed the children or wives of a MP. Not only will the MP not support the withdrawal of troops, but he will also desperately demand the increase of troops and demand a tougher attitude to deal with terrorists. The consequences of attacking those in power are very serious."
Liang Xi said: "I think the gangsters plan to attack the restaurant directly and attack when the target is dining in the restaurant. Their purpose is to create enough damage and kill the target at the same time. Now their appetite seems to be bigger, but their behavior should not be in the interests of Mr. X. For the police, the Italian restaurant has a lot of room for operation. If things are done well, they may be able to defeat the gangsters without damage. If things are not done well, they may lead to a big tragedy."
Mr. X said, "You can help me kill him." I said, "No problem." After entering the restaurant, I didn't kill anyone. A little girl bravely claimed that she wanted to be a hostage. I thought it was a good idea to contact my boss. The boss thought that the opportunity was rare, so Mr. X threw it aside first.
Liang Xiren is not in London and has not paid much attention to the ten-day crisis. He can only form a rough outline of the criminal plan in his mind. This outline requires a lot of details and information to supplement, but unfortunately he does not have a source for this. With the information that Liang Xi has, he can only guess that there is a large football field.
Karin went to prepare food, but Liang Xi was still nervous, and the food could make people relax naturally. These days, the main foods were barbecue, barbecue, beef, lamb, etc. Fortunately, Karin paid attention to health and added a lot of fruits and vegetables. From here, I also found that Liang Xi also has a childish temper. He likes to eat meat, but he doesn't like to eat vegetables. Even if he barely gives Karin face, he has to show that he just doesn't want to eat. It makes Karin angry and funny.
At this time, Liu Zhen and others in London had reached their tactical positions, and there were seven minutes left before the end of the first half.
All the staff were wearing casual clothes, and two people occupied an entrance and exit. Liu Zhen took a deep breath. After all, they were causing trouble in the League Cup, and maybe Roger was not good. Liu Zhen picked up the microphone: "Please pay attention, please pay attention. There is a fire alarm in the rest and waiting area. Please go to the court lawn in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the security guard. Athletes and referees please leave first."
This is the home court of a Championship team, with a maximum capacity of 13,000 people, with three floors in total, with four entrances and exits on each floor. People from the Counter-Terrorism Office scattered from multiple locations such as southeast, northwest and underground parking lots to enter the stadium through rest areas. During this period, no suspicious people were found. The vending machines on each floor were operating normally.
Liu Zhen never thought that she would have a day when she longed for something to happen. Nothing happened here, she and Liang Xi were waiting for something to happen.
When more than half of the eight thousand spectators entered the lawn, gunfire came from near the east gate of the third floor. The operation agent stationed in this position believed that Liang Xi had made a mistake in his judgment and was a little careless. An audience member came out of the bathroom and walked towards the entrance and exit with water on his hands. The operation agent believed that he had not heard the radio from the large number, so he asked him to hurry up.
As a result, when the audience passed by the operation agent, a dagger stabbed the agent's bulletproof vest. The two were shocked together. The criminal stabbed the agent's thigh with another dagger, and the two fought together. The criminal and his companions went to get the pistol hidden in the toilet tank. When they saw this scene, they shot three shots in a row and shot the detective in the back. Due to the impact force of the bullet, the agent could only let go of the criminal and fell forward.
Although the agent of the operation agent is not very good, the operation is the main job, and he immediately pulled out his pistol. The empty-handed criminal A ran away from the entrance and exit, and after the criminal B hid to the pillar, both sides made a magazine each with a crackling sound.
