The arrogance of the city

Chapter 538
The identity and safety of the hostages is of course important, but in the eyes of those in power, they may be more concerned about their own majesty that cannot be challenged.

Being forced to bow to the robbers was undoubtedly an unbearable shame for them, so almost all the pressure was placed on Luo Tao's shoulders alone.

No compromise was allowed under the order from above, but there must be no mistakes in the safety of the hostages, otherwise he, the director of the Chengnan Branch, would definitely be the first to take the blame afterwards. Therefore, Luo Tao's expression was very heavy.

Those people with official hats on their heads were all righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, but Li Futu also knew what was going on in their hearts. Perhaps in the eyes of those in power, the dozen or so hostages inside were not as important as their face.

Looking at the time, it is now almost 02:30, that is to say, the police and the robbers have been in a stalemate here for almost an hour. The robbers inside saw that the helicopter had not arrived, and they might attack at any time.

"Luo Ju, it's not an option to drag it on like this. Didn't your police think of other solutions?"

"This bank is closed on three sides, and the only entrance and exit is the main entrance. We have no way to sneak in. If we break through... Although the two robbers are holding only shotguns, even if they are modified, the lethality is limited, but After all, the hostages are too close to them, if we act rashly, I am afraid they will jump over the wall in a hurry."

Luo Tao said in a low voice, a little helpless.

Hearing this, Li Futu looked at the bank again.

This bank should be just a small branch, with only the first floor, and the terrain structure is not complicated. If the police really rushed in on purpose, they might be able to break through in minutes, but it is worth considering that when the police rushed in front of the two robbers When the time comes, it is unknown how many of the hostages inside will still be alive.

Through the glass, one can see that the hostages were all confined together by the robbers. Through their clothes, it can be seen that their identities are different, including men, women, old and young, including seven staff members of the bank, but their faces are exactly the same. With an expression of fear that could not be concealed, perhaps it was impossible for them to think that they would encounter such an indiscriminate disaster when they came to the bank today.

From Li Futu's perspective, he can't see Cui Menghan now, but he can be sure that he saw it correctly on the projection screen before, and it was confirmed by the Roy people just now.

Li Futu withdrew his gaze from the bank and began to survey the surrounding environment.

"Luo Ju, have you never thought about hiding snipers in the residential buildings above?"

Li Futu fixed his eyes behind him, which was opposite to the bank.

There is a row of shops on the first floor facing the street, and residential buildings on the top. It is separated from the bank by a road, about 80 meters away from each other, and almost all windows face the road. The bank is completely covered in the field of vision, which is absolutely excellent. sniper position.

Luo Tao also turned his head to look that way, but before he could speak, the Roy man spoke first: "You think you're the only one who is smart? How could we never have thought of a way to attack secretly, but..."

As he spoke, the Roy stopped suddenly.

"Just what?"

Li Futu frowned slightly.

The Roy man glanced at him with an unnatural expression on his face.

Luo Tao opened his mouth: "Our bureau has limited elite snipers, there is only one person who can do this task, and there are two robbers..."

A tinge of shame also appeared on Luo Tao's face. In the huge south of the city, he couldn't find a few decent snipers, which really made him a little embarrassed as the director.

In fact, it cannot be said that the police are incompetent. There are a lot of snipers in the Chengnan branch, but everyone knows that this case is not a child's play. It will definitely take on a huge responsibility, so no one dares to take this task lightly for a while.

"..."

Li Futu was silent.

He naturally understood what Luo Tao meant. There were two robbers, and one sniper was definitely not enough. To make a move, both robbers must be killed at the same time.

"I'll give you another 10 minutes. If you still can't see the helicopter, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Shouts came from the bank, accompanied by horrified screams from the hostages.

"Please keep calm, the helicopter will arrive soon, as long as the safety of the hostages is ensured, our police promise to let you leave the East China Sea safely!"

Someone from the police immediately comforted him with a loudspeaker.

"Stop talking about your motherfuckers! Remember, I only give you the last 10 minutes!"

The robbers may have seen the police's delay, or it may be because their patience is running out.

"Luo Bureau, what should we do?"

Luo Tao was the highest leader present, and everyone was waiting for him to make up his mind.

Luo Tao's expression was cloudy and uncertain.

"If Director Luo believes in me, he can give me the task of sniping."

Li Futu spoke suddenly.

Luo Tao's eyes narrowed.

The Roy was also taken aback, and then quickly said: "Leave it to you? Li Futu, I know you can fight, but have you ever touched a sniper gun? Now is not the time for you to show off!"

Li Futu ignored Roy and looked at Luo Tao calmly.

"Mr. Li, do you really think you can do it?"

Luo Tao asked in a low voice.

Li Futu didn't say any bold words, but just nodded silently.

A look of struggle appeared in Luo Tao's eyes.

Li Futu is not a police officer, if he is involved in such a big case, if something goes wrong, he, the chief of the bureau, will definitely bear a huge responsibility.

"Dad, you don't really intend to believe him, do you?!"

Roy said incredulously, even forgetting that this place is not at home.

"Xiao Wang, you go up with Mr. Li, the safety of the eighteen hostages inside is up to you!"

Luo Tao said in a deep voice.

Xiao Wang was probably the only sniper who dared to take on this mission. He looked very young, and perhaps it was this kind of young man who had that sense of responsibility and mission.

He saluted Luo Tao solemnly, "I promise to complete the task!"

Soon someone sent Li Futu a PSG-1. Li Futu nodded to Luo Tao, then turned around and walked towards the opposite side of the bank with the gun in his hand.

"Dad, are you crazy?!"

Roy's face was full of disbelief. She couldn't believe that her father would really entrust such an important task to an outsider, and this outsider was also a villainous leader.

What is going on in this world?
The Roy felt an extremely unreal sense of absurdity.

"Call me Chief!"

Luo Tao said in a deep voice without any explanation. Seeing that Li Futu and the two had entered the shop, he ordered the subordinates around him: "Find a way to lead the robbers inside to a place where they can see them."
