Chapter 147 [A glimmer of hope] (Part 1)

Have another purpose?

Naturally, four words immediately popped up in my mind... Terrorist?!

"Those people, including Lamuchi, seem to have no interest in jewelry because they are simply a group of extremely dangerous elements who are ready to attack terrorists at any time... Only these terrorists who are "destined to death" at any time will not be interested in these external things!"

These are Yang Wei's analysis.

And after the four she just mentioned were added together, the context of the whole thing was almost obvious!

I immediately stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, and looked at Yang Wei: "If they were terrorists..."

Yang Wei raised his hand and gently stroked his neck... Her eyes were a little gloomy: "The terrorist attack naturally needs to attract widespread attention! This is the maximum physical and psychological attack of the enemy! First of all, everyone who gathered here tonight is Hollywood celebrities, big stars, representatives of big companies, investors, filmmakers... These people are the focus of media attention around the world. Just imagine... Hollywood is almost a cultural tool for American culture to invade the world! And if all these people die here tonight... what will be the consequences?"

My muscles twitched a little... The huge and powerful film industry and film economy in the United States may not collapse immediately, and it will retreat at least 30 years! The destruction of the film economy will cause a series of chain reactions... Such terrorist attacks may not be inferior to the 9/11 incident!

"So, you mean. Maybe they'll take extreme measures?"

Yang Wei shook his head: "I just guess... because the current analysis shows that this is probably the case. Otherwise, ordinary robbers would not have such high-quality personnel, but they used this inappropriate action plan."

So, if our assumptions hold true, these people are terrorists and they intend to conduct terrorist attacks...what will be done? Shooting nearly 300 top figures in the American film industry here?

"I think they want to attract attention first. The purpose is to make things bigger, the better." Yang Wei analyzed carefully: "So, they deliberately hijacked these people first, then published the news, contacted the police, negotiated, and confronted each other, and had a buffer time. This matter will be widely paid attention to by media all over the world... If you don't believe it, the isolation belts downstairs are probably already gathered in interview cars from major media around the world! Now I don't know how many cameras are aimed at our building! If in front of so many cameras... a huge terrifying time occurs, immediately, everything here will turn into images, sounds, and spread to the TVs and radios of thousands of households around the world! And it will also be a huge blow to the psychology of the American people and the US government."

"As for us, you see, they are not in a hurry to break through and come here to catch us! Because I am afraid, even if we hide here, as long as we don't run out of this floor... the other party will be sure and kill us..." Yang Wei whispered.

My conversation with her was in Chinese, so it did not cause shock to others, but Lei Xiaohu also changed a little. He opened his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Oh my God, uncle, we won't be so lucky. We have encountered such a thing, right?"

I stopped hesitating and immediately walked to the front of the computer, ignored the eyes of others, and turned on the computer to contact the other party.

Soon, I contacted that Officer Louis.

He looked a little anxious and exhausted, but his expression was calm.

"Officer Louis." I looked at the camera intently and said slowly: "I think there are some things. It is necessary to talk to you!"

"Is there something unexpected happening in your place?" Officer Louis frowned.

I thought about it and said, "No, there is no one for the time being... But what I want to ask is, have you confirmed the identities of these gangsters? They look like Middle Easterners, and only three of them are white. Can you confirm the identities of these people?"

My question was probably very strange. Officer Louis thought for a while and said, "What's wrong?"

"Please answer me, our time is very precious and the power is not high." I said slowly.

"Okay!" he said slowly: "No confirmation is currently available, but we have found that they have been infiltrated through the food company that provided food for the display event. We found three cars that belonged to that company transported food in a warehouse in a nearby block. In the three cars, about 11 employees of the company had been shot and killed. We have reason to suspect that the car of the food company was intercepted by these people halfway, and then they killed the people in the food company and entered the building as their identities. And we have now discovered that in the parking lot below the building, there was another security guard in the parking lot that was killed and the body was placed in a car. The sign of the food company on the car is believed to have been modified. The security guard probably found something and was killed and silenced. So far, the number of deaths has reached thirteen!"

"I'm afraid there are fifteen." I added: "I saw them killing two security guards in the makeshift kitchen."

Officer Louis was stunned and said, "We intercepted the images of nineteen cameras in the parking lot, and after analysis, it can be confirmed that the identities of three white people... The leader named Jack, who was an extremely dangerous person wanted by twelve states. He robbed the bank thirteen times, nine of which were successfully killed, six policemen, four bank security guards, and two hostages! But we cannot confirm the identity of the Lamuchi you mentioned. After we contacted him, someone had already entered his image information into the computer for searching... Unfortunately, his identity, in our control information, is... zero!"

Looking at the change in Officer Louis's eyes, I sighed and whispered: "You... must have guessed something, right?"

My conversation with this policeman was speaking English, which finally attracted the attention of others. One of the men immediately shouted: "Oh my God, what are you talking to him... Is there any problem with the identity of the gangster? Hell, don't waste the power of the computer!"

I glanced at the guy who hadn't realized we were already in danger, ignored him, and continued, "Officer Louis, you have more experience than us, I believe you must have felt something wrong, right? Well... what are they asking you now? Can you tell me?"

"This..." He was hesitating, and I immediately shouted: "Don't forget, we are in the building now too! So please tell me!!"

A trace of light flashed in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "They asked for a password to open the jewelry cabinet. We have negotiated experts to deal with this. The police have no right to decide on these jewelry issues, so they are still in a stalemate... and they have already made a request... to make their videos public to the media."

I sighed.

This is obvious!

"...If we don't agree to their request, then after another half an hour, they will start killing one hostage every ten minutes. After one hour, they will become killing two people every ten minutes." Officer Louis's expressionless face.

"So what about other requirements? For example, their evacuation request? They wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for cars with you because it's easy to block the road. They must have asked for a helicopter, right?"

"Yes!" Officer Louis thought for a while and said, "They did ask for a helicopter. I think they would plan to escape from the air, and when they escape, they would take a group of hostages onto the plane to prevent our air interception."

"They are procrastinating time." Yang Wei's voice came from beside me. She came to me. Yang Wei's face looked a little weak, and he slowly said: "I suspect that these people are terrorists. They may be ready to take extreme measures. Now they are just procrastinating time to prevent the police from directly forcing a breakthrough after confirming their intentions! They still want to continue to delay time and further expand the impact of this matter..."

Yang Wei said these words to me, she spoke Chinese. I looked back at her and nodded.

"Wait..." Officer Louis suddenly took the headphones and listened, then his face looked a little ugly: "Latest news... they made a request... they asked to open the video signal to the media... and made a request... Hell! These people are really not gangsters! They are terrorists!! I'm going to walk away, and in five minutes, I will contact you!!"

After saying that, Officer Louis hurried away.

I turned off the screen and switched back to power saving mode.

I glanced at Yang Wei and found that her body was trembling slightly... She was obviously not afraid, but was very weak.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me!" I gently put my arms around her waist, and felt that Yang Wei's body was a little soft, so I helped her aside.
