Chapter 746 Double ‘S’ Troops (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

"I said it's okay for the bank to hand over the password, but if the police don't recover the gold bars, you will have to bear all the losses."

Pushing up his glasses, Hanekawa Kunihiko perfectly explained what it means to be a beast in disguise.

in his eyes

The safety of 17 hostages is not as good as gold bars worth 800 million Japanese dollars.

In the final analysis, he did not dare to take responsibility.

800 million gold bars, even if he hands over the password and saves 17 hostages, he will be fired by his superiors.

"I also have family and children to support. You must understand my difficulties."

Hanekawa Kunihiko sighed:

"I'm also sad to be caught in the middle."

"But I believe the police will rescue the hostages."

Mumu Shisan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

As the temporary on-site person in charge, his situation is not much better than that of Hanekawa Kunihiko.

While the two of them were arguing, Sakaki held two lunch boxes and got into the police car with Miss Miyano.

The lunch box was quite generous, including two fried shrimps, mapo tofu, siomai + tomato and egg drop soup, which Takagi Wataru bought from a nearby Chinese restaurant.

Breaking his chopsticks, Sakaki ignored the question of the vault password. While eating, he was still thinking about the origin of the robber.

"Their accents are very weird, they are definitely not Japanese."

After taking a bite of fried shrimp, Sakaki suddenly said:

"These people behave a bit like mercenaries. They have definitely been on the battlefield. They are snipers, assaulters, observers, and commanders. The five-person team is well-trained."

"mercenary?"

Miss Miyano poured her boyfriend a cup of hot tea:

"Why would mercenaries come to rob a bank?"

"Who hired them?"

“Hard to say”

Sakaki Cheng clicked his tongue:

"But one thing is for sure, these people's goals are not just gold bars."

'They're like bait'

Drop. Drop.

At this moment, the black truck engraved with the SAT logo finally arrived at the scene.

The heavily armed SAT armed forces jumped out of the truck with MP5 submachine guns and explosion-proof shields, and lined up in front of the bank in an orderly manner.

Leading the SAT team.

It was Kyogoku Naohiko who had returned from vacation. He had just returned to work two days ago, and he didn't expect to give him a 'surprise' when he came up.

As an anti-terrorist armed force second only to the Self-Defense Forces, SAT is responsible for handling cases that ordinary criminal police officers in the Metropolitan Police Department cannot handle.

For example, Asakura Nobuaki, who had heavy firepower last time, this time the bank robbers are also under their jurisdiction.

Also arriving with SAT was Matsumoto Kiyonaga, the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation manager.

"Police Matsumoto, Captain Kyogoku!"

Seeing his boss, Mumu Shisan saluted hurriedly.

"Well, how's it going?"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga, who had just arrived, immediately took over the on-site policing. He looked around and asked:

"What do the robbers want?"

"The other party has 17 hostages in their hands and requires us to hand over the password to the vault!"

Mumu Shisan told everything that happened in the bank.

After hearing the password to the vault, Matsumoto Kiyonaga looked at Hanekawa Kunihiko and asked:

"What's the password?"

Hanekawa Kunihiko said nothing, and Megure Thirteen answered for him:

"Police Matsumoto, he said he has no right to hand over the password, if we insist on him handing over the password."

"Once the gold bars are stolen by robbers, the Metropolitan Police Department must bear the responsibility."

"Nonsense!"

Matsumoto Kiyon's eyes widened:

"Our police officers are responsible for catching criminals and rescuing hostages. Since when did we also serve as insurance companies?"

"Hand over the password!"

Hanekawa Kunihiko smiled and said nothing.

No matter what Matsumoto Kiyonaga asked, he just refused to hand over the password and was determined.

As a victim, in full view of the public, the police did not dare to do anything to him. Matsumoto Kiyonaga hesitated for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and started to contact his superiors.

He has no right to decide.

During the call, the SATs led by Kyogoku Naohiko quickly surrounded the bank building, the sniper team was in position, and the breakthrough was in place.

Just waiting for an order from their superiors, SATs carrying explosion-proof shields will swarm into the bank and rescue the hostages.

but

"Yes! Yes! I understand!"

Matsumoto Kiyonaga nodded and bowed, put down his mobile phone, and said with a serious face:

"The Hakuba Police Chief agreed with Kunihiko Hanekawa's request and sent SIT support who was performing the mission."

"SIT will arrive within 20 minutes."

In the police car with the windows rolled down, Sakaki heard Matsumoto Kiyonaga's words.

In the Japanese police system, there are two special forces code-named S, one is the special investigation team SIT, and the other is the special operations team SAT.

As a special force, they are responsible for dealing with terrorist incidents that ordinary police cannot deal with.

The SIT is also affiliated with the Special Criminal Investigation Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's 1st Investigation Section. Although Matsumoto Kiyonaga has a higher police rank than them, he has no authority to transfer the SIT.

As a special force, whether it is SIT or SAT, if you want to dispatch them, you need the consent of the Minister of Criminal Affairs or the Director of Police.

Matsumoto Kiyonaga could only request his superiors to dispatch special troops, but could not directly command them.

Not only has the Metropolitan Police Department established SIT, but almost all prefectures and counties have SITs, but the code names are different.

The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters designated the Special Incident Investigation Section 1 as the Special Investigation Team, or MAAT for short.

Saitama Prefecture's special search squad is referred to as RATS.

If police support is needed within the Tokyo metropolitan area, Osaka Prefecture or Saitama Prefecture will dispatch MAAT and RATS to assist them as soon as possible.

in the final analysis

There are fundamental differences between SAT and SIT.

The main mission of the SIT is to protect the safety of the hostages, which is their primary goal.

And SAT

No matter what kind of hostage they are, they only see prisoners.

Handling prisoners is their primary responsibility.

Of course, it is also their obligation to protect hostages if necessary.

If the choice is between letting the prisoner go or harming the hostage

SAT will choose the latter without hesitation.

That's why they were born.

Normally, there is no need to dispatch them, but the bank robbery incident has made the news. The Metropolitan Police Department must solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise it will be criticized and questioned by higher-level leaders.

As for the reason for sending SIT.

Naturally, because the robbers held 17 hostages, the Metropolitan Police Department believed that it was necessary to ensure the safety of the hostages in front of the public.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

In the car, Miss Miyano suddenly said:

"SAT belongs to the Security Department and SIT belongs to the Criminal Department. These are two departments with different responsibilities."

"Normally, SAT will be dispatched only when SIT needs help, but this time SAT actually dispatched before SIT."

"When did the security department become so warm-hearted?"

These words caught Sakaki's attention.

He glanced at Miss Miyano:

"Is there a bad relationship between the Security Department and the Criminal Department?"

"Of course, there are factions within the Metropolitan Police Department."

Miss Miyano said:

"Before the Hakuba Police Director, those who served as Police Directors were basically from the Security Department and local headquarters ministers."

"And they have one thing in common"

"The Todai faction or the Satsuma faction from Kyushu, the others are all external factions. Unless the world is changed, they will not reach the top."
