Chapter 1165 Negotiation

Yes, the real reason why Hans felt a chill on his back was that when Sir Zhang was observing whether the vault was open outside the window, he glanced at him.

In order to make it easier to snatch the bearer bonds from Hans and others in time, Zhang Pin chose to separate from the other party when John proposed to go into the elevator shaft to observe the situation.

After separating, he went all the way up and went directly to the 30th floor.

After observing and confirming that all the hostages were safe, he prepared to continue going up.

However, since Hans and others knew that there were still fish that slipped through the net in the building, they arranged gunmen to guard the stairs leading to the 31st floor from the 30th floor.

It was just a gunman guarding the door. For Sir Zhang, if he wanted, he could even kill the other party without anyone noticing.

But in order not to alert the enemy, he did not choose to do so.

However, Sir Zhang was also worried that he would not be able to snatch the bonds in time when the vault was opened.

After all, even if it was 640 million yuan of bond information, it was actually not much.

If the other party deliberately hides such a small piece of information, it will be difficult to find it.

So he prepared to go to the scene to monitor the other party.

It was the police searchlight that gave him inspiration.

He was originally thinking about whether to sneak up while the gunman guarding the stairs was not paying attention.

But after the searchlight illuminated the glass, he realized that there was actually a better way to monitor the progress of the other party opening the vault password in real time.

This method is nothing else, which is exactly what Zhang Sir is doing now, that is, to climb directly to the outside of the 32nd floor through the glass of the building.

Of course, such a method is naturally whimsical for ordinary people.

But for Zhang Sir, it is an action that can be achieved.

Zhang Sir himself has a strong ability to act. After confirming that this plan is feasible, he immediately began to implement it.

Facts have proved that his decision is correct.

Because after climbing to the outside of the 32nd floor, Zhang Sir heard the other party's plan.

"They actually want to use the power of the Investigation Bureau to open the password. It must not be that there is a traitor in the Investigation Bureau. After all, it is impossible for the people in the Investigation Bureau to have the password of the Zhongfu Group's vault. It means that some actions of the Investigation Bureau may affect the password. Hmm, could it be the power system?"

Sir Zhang just used his brain carefully and soon guessed what method the other party would use to crack the password.

You know, Sir Zhang is a registered consultant of the Investigation Bureau and receives salary from the Investigation Bureau every week, so he naturally knows some of the action plans of the Investigation Bureau.

In fact, it is not just the Investigation Bureau. Almost all anti-terrorism operations in the world, especially in cities like Luojishan, are carried out with the same three tricks.

The first trick is definitely to cut off water and electricity, and cut off all external support for the building.

This trick was originally very good, especially at night. For most people who are used to lights, without the light, the impact on themselves must be not small.

But this plan is definitely useful, but if it is used too much, it is inevitable that there will be problems.

For example, this time, Zhang Pin probably guessed Hans' plan.

For high-rise buildings like the Zhongfu Group Building, the problem of electricity use is naturally not as casual as ordinary buildings.

Apart from anything else, the height of more than 40 floors, without an elevator, is very inconvenient to go up and down.

Not to mention that going up and down stairs is just the most basic aspect of electricity.

So under normal circumstances, the building will have its own independent backup power system.

The purpose of the power system is to ensure that the building will not be without power in special circumstances.

With the power system, and theoretically the power system will not fail at any time, many of the building’s security measures naturally rely on the power system.

For example, the vault where Hans and others are cracking the password.

Among the seven secrets, in addition to the mechanical lock.

Whether it is sound or fingerprint or the simplest input password lock.

Or the magnetic password lock that sounds so high-end and so complicated that even masters like Theo find it difficult to crack.

No matter what the form of expression is, in fact, it is supported by the power system in the end.

Of course, although the systems of these password locks are the same, in addition to the different forms of expression, the logic and defense measures behind them are also different.

For example, voice password locks and fingerprint password locks will not fail directly after losing power support, but will cause the locked objects to be unable to open normally.

It is precisely because of this that Hans brought Theo to deal with these password locks.

The magnetic password is different.

If this kind of password lock does not have a password, other methods will not work either.

But the only problem with the magnetic lock is that it must rely on power support, and if there is no power support, the password lock will fail directly.

Of course, under normal circumstances, even if there is a fire or other crisis in the building, this password lock is absolutely safe because of the independent backup power system.

But now it is obviously not a normal situation.

Because there are terrorists in the building, if the investigation bureau takes over, it will definitely follow the normal plan, and the other party will definitely cut off the power system of the building as soon as possible.

The power system that was cut off at that time naturally included the original backup power system of the building.

Without the support of the power system, the last magnetic code of the vault that was previously regarded as impregnable would naturally become a joke.

Sir Zhang figured out the logic, but he was not in a hurry to contact the police or Warren of the Investigation Bureau.

In addition to his interest in the bonds in the vault, Sir Zhang was more certain that Hans and others' behavior was 100% weird.

After all, for Sir Zhang, the reason why he knew what the action plan of the Investigation Bureau was when facing terrorists was.

First, because he was a senior police officer in Hong Kong Island, he knew very well the countermeasures that the Hong Kong Island Police Force taught police officers when facing terrorists.

In addition, he was a consultant to the Investigation Bureau, so he was very clear about the information of the Investigation Bureau.

But you have to know that Hans and others are terrorists, and it stands to reason that the other party should not know this information at all.

But the intelligence capabilities shown by Hans and others since entering the Zhongfu Group Building can be said to have nothing to do with terrorists.

Even if Hans stood up and said that he was from the Investigation Bureau, Zhang Pin would not be surprised at all.

In this case, Zhang Sir was worried that if he stood up at this time to stop the other party's plan, even if he killed Hans directly, it would be hard to guarantee that there would be someone behind the other party.

He had just reached a compromise with Langley and changed the original hostile relationship into a cooperative relationship, but he didn't want to offend a certain unknown boss again.

Although Zhang Sir was very confident in his own strength, there was only a thief who could steal for a thousand days, and there was no one who could guard against thieves for a thousand days.

It was with this idea that Zhang Sir simply chose to remain silent.

Just as Zhang Sir was hiding outside the window waiting for Hans and others to open the vault, there was a new change downstairs.

Boom--

As the armor-piercing bullet hit the soul, the armored vehicle, which was originally aggressive, was directly hit by the armor-piercing bullet before it reached the downstairs of the Zhongfu Group Building.

"Damn it!"

"Oh my god!"

The scene was in chaos. It was obvious that neither the police nor ordinary citizens had thought that the terrorists inside the building would have such a thing.

Boom boom --

Just as the crowd was stunned, two more armor-piercing shells were fired directly at the armored vehicle.

Soon, the armored vehicle was on fire.

"Wilson, report the situation, are you okay?"

The police chief's face turned pale under the light of the three armor-piercing shells. He trembled as he held the walkie-talkie and asked about the situation of the guys in the armored vehicle.

Although the armored vehicle was not penetrated by the armor-piercing shells at this time, the three armor-piercing shells actually fell on the top of the car, and the shock wave generated by the explosion was naturally completely borne by the armored vehicle.

The car suffered such a great impact, and the police officers inside were just mortals. Although the police chief was still calling, he didn't have much hope for their survival.

The reason why he called at this time was more to complete the necessary procedures.

"This is Channel 4. I'm Charlie. I'm still outside the building, but we have the latest information about the identity of the terrorists inside the building."

Just when the police were in chaos outside, the reporters had the latest news.

They didn't know what channel they used to find the identity information of the terrorists.

"According to the previous alarm message, we learned that the leader of this group is called Hans. This Hans, whose full name should be Hans Gruber, is a member of the radical West German Front organization."

"We also found another piece of news. Just an hour ago, the leader of the Front organization publicly announced that Hans Gruber had been expelled from the organization."

"Exactly one hour ago, the Zhongfu Group Building was controlled by terrorists. Reporters will continue to follow up on more inside stories."

It turned out that the TV station where Charlie worked found a corresponding identity based on the name of the terrorist leader mentioned by the hostage when Hans arranged his men to supervise the hostage's alarm.

Although it is a bit outrageous to guess the identity based on a name, the authenticity of this information is very high.

"Fuck, who are you? Did you do all this?"

Just when the reporter found out Hans' true identity, John immediately reconnected with the police downstairs through the intercom.

However, before the two sides could remember to exchange identity information, the head of the police forcefully snatched the intercom, and then seemed to want to throw the blame on John's head.

"Fuck, I asked the reporter to call the police. You are the commander on the scene, right? What the hell are you commanding? Are you kidding with the lives of so many guys? You really should die, not let your brothers die."

John was looking down from a high place. Although he couldn't see the faces of the police downstairs clearly, he could still see the approximate position clearly.

He saw the guy who snatched the intercom downstairs, who seemed to be the commander of the previous operations.

So he immediately scolded him.

"Listen, there are more than a dozen terrorists in the building. They carry a lot of powerful weapons. Well, I shouldn't talk nonsense about this, but there is another point. In addition to such powerful armor-piercing bullets, they also bring a lot of powerful weapons. C4.”

After scolding the police commander, John began to formally inform the other party of the news.

Because he had eavesdropped on intelligence through the elevator shaft before, John did know a lot of information about this group of terrorists.

Because of this, he knew very well that if these guys were underestimated, the police might pay a heavy price.

But just as John was providing the police with information about the terrorists, his walkie-talkie suddenly turned on a red light. This was because someone else was speaking on this channel through other walkie-talkies.

"Hey! Hello! Hello! Good evening, everyone. I'm sorry that it's so late and that you can't rest. Please allow me to apologize to you here."

This voice is very magnetic, and he speaks at an unhurried pace, sounding like a professor.

The person who suddenly interrupted the conversation between John and the police was none other than Hans himself.

In fact, Hans knew about this as early as the first time John and Zhang Pin called the police through the walkie-talkie.

However, at that time, his attention was focused on whether it was the Luojishan police or people from the Investigation Bureau who were dispatched after receiving the alarm.

Even after learning that Luojishan was responsible for the case, he specifically asked the hostages to call the police again.

This time John reconnected with the police. Hans was actually not prepared to speak at first. He even wanted to use the dialogue between John and the police to locate John and kill him.

But who knew that John changed the subject and actually revealed that they had a large amount of C4 explosives.

Hans suddenly couldn't sit still.

You know, this batch of C4 explosives is one of the most critical props in his final retreat plan.

In order to prevent the police or the investigation bureau from being prepared in advance, Hans had an idea and took the initiative to speak on the walkie-talkie channel.

"Who are you?"

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, John and the police officers subconsciously remained silent.

"My name is Hans Gruber. The reason why I appear here today is entirely because Zhongfu Group has made too much ill-gotten wealth in America and the world, so we come to judge them on behalf of God. ”

Hans took the initiative to reveal his identity, and it turned out to be exactly the same as what the reporter found.

"I think you already know the direct consequences of attacking us directly. In fact, this is not what I want. The reason why I am contacting you now is because I don't want any more innocent people to lose their lives for this."

After hearing Hans' words, John and the police chief were silent for a moment.

If they didn't know each other's identities, John and the police chief might not be able to help but wonder if they were actually the villain.

Because the words Hans said sounded more like what a messenger of justice would say.

Of course, the premise of all this is not to discuss the dozens of Luojishan police officers who were killed by a wave of explosions and three rockets.

"What do you want to do, Mr. Gruber?"

After a while, the police chief reacted first, and then he couldn't help asking Hans his own question. Apparently after a series of previous encounters, he changed his mind and wanted to resolve the matter through negotiation.
