Chapter 383 - 265: Arrangements in the Shadows; The Other Side Plans to Flee
"I’m telling you, no one is allowed to come in!
Or don’t blame me for being rude!"
The man shouted loudly from the private room.
But his tone couldn’t hide the excitement and tension, through the not-too-large dark glass on the wall, one could vaguely see the scene inside.
A hand was holding a broken wine bottle, pressed against the throat of a young woman.
And the man was hiding completely behind the woman, his face couldn’t be seen, he was well hidden.
"Command center, command center."
Old Xia saw the situation and quickly called the headquarters,
"There is a hostage situation at Nix Bar, 426 Guangming Road, suspects have taken a hostage, there are currently injuries, support is needed.
The suspect seems to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs..."
"Rustling~"
"This is command center; the criminal police, SWAT, and medical staff have been notified and are on their way. Please keep us updated."
...
After a round of communication, the police responded quickly. All relevant personnel immediately sprang into action, gathering swiftly.
Time waits for no one!
Especially when the suspect’s mental state is uncertain, a delay of even a second could lead to serious consequences.
From interception and pursuit, to hostage-taking.
Nobody anticipated or wanted such things to happen.
But with the suspect behaving so crazily, even the police were caught off guard.
The main goal now is to protect the hostage from harm; otherwise, it won’t just be public opinion, they might even have to take off their uniforms.
"You all back off! Do not come in!"
Just as two officers were quietly approaching the sides of the door, reaching out to slowly push open a crack.
The man in the room reacted more violently, raising his voice several notches, taking two steps forward with the woman in his grip, then kicking the door shut.
"Ah!"
Bang!
The door was closed again; the woman couldn’t help but scream in pain.
The few people outside exchanged grave glances, their expressions even more serious.
The situation indeed wasn’t looking good!
They didn’t dare to assess further, fearing it would aggravate the situation, possibly endangering the hostage’s life.
"Dad, I’m in the bar now, I have someone with me, they don’t dare to come in~"
"Hurry and get help for me~"
...
In the private room, a muffled conversation could be heard, although the officers outside could hear it, they couldn’t make out the words.
But Qin Feng, with his exceptionally sharp senses, could hear it all clearly!
On the phone, a man of about forty or fifty shouted at the man but still told him not to act rashly, and he would think of a way to handle the rest.
After the call ended, the man, perhaps tired, settled on the sofa with the woman, making her sit between his legs to shield himself.
And drops of blood slowly flowed down his hand from the wine bottle, feeling warm and sticky.
Qin Feng stood by the glass, his black pupils slowly becoming oval and elongated.
In an instant, the pitch-black glass gradually became clearer in his eyes, making the scene inside more visible.
He saw the woman trembling all over, her face full of terror, not daring to move.
The sharp edge of the broken wine bottle had created a bloody cut on her fair neck, slowly oozing blood.
Judging by the blood flow, it seemed to be just a superficial wound, without severing any major arteries.
She was currently not in life-threatening danger.
Qin Feng breathed a small sigh of relief, then began to survey the entire private room.
The table was littered with some cigarette boxes, dozens of wine bottles, fruit trays, and beanbags... and a few condoms, two of which had been opened, but the contents were still inside.
It seemed they hadn’t had time to use them!
Besides that, there was only a closed bathroom; the entire room was almost devoid of dead angles, empty.
Which means, apart from hiding behind the woman in his arms, the suspect had no other place to hide.
"Young man, thank you for earlier, but given the current situation, you should go back for now, leave this to us."
At this moment, Officer Old Xia walked over and said,
"Just earlier, during the car chase, you almost got into danger, and the car got damaged. We’re really sorry but also thankful. Leave us your contact details, we’ll get in touch with you later.
Although we probably can’t cover the car repair cost, at the very least, we can give you a commendation or something!"
With that, he handed him a small notebook and pen.
Qin Feng took it and wrote down his phone number.
"No need to be polite, it’s just a car. It’s a pity I didn’t manage to catch that guy on the expressway."
He smiled and shook his head,
"Why don’t I wait until your reinforcements arrive and leave? I’m the attending physician of the critical care unit at Peking Union Medical College Hospital; just in case that guy inside hurts the hostage, I might still be able to help."
"A doctor from Peking Union!"
Hearing this, Old Xia’s eyes couldn’t help but light up in surprise,
"Alright, thank you, young man."
An attending doctor from Peking Union!
This is a well-known golden brand in all of Beijing!
Not only renowned in the medical field but also the pride of Beijing, the country’s top-ranked life-saving department!
Having a doctor like this on hand is at least a guarantee!
"I’m Xia Dongyang, Deputy Director of Guangming Road Police Station."
"Qin Feng, Attending Physician in the Critical Care Unit at Beijing Peking Union Medical College Hospital."
The two shook hands and exchanged smiles.
Suddenly, a phone rang from the room.
Their expressions immediately grew alert, both looking toward the room.
"Hello, dad."
"Xiao Cong, the criminal police and SWAT will arrive in ten minutes. Find a way to leave immediately!
I’ll arrange a black Magotan to be parked by the roadside of the bar. Seize that car and follow the navigation in the car to drive away.
I’ve arranged for someone to meet you at a designated place. You can’t stay in Beijing anymore; head to Australia and lay low for a while, do you hear?"
"Gulp~ I... I understand, dad~"
Upon hearing this, the man swallowed his saliva and quickly agreed.
"What did he say, could you hear it clearly?"
After the call ended, Old Xia looked at the two at the door and asked in a deep voice.
The two shook their heads, the sound was too low to hear anything.
"Director Xia, someone is arranging for his escape."
Qin Feng walked over immediately, speaking in a low tone,
"A black Magotan will be parked at the bar entrance; he’ll seize it to reach a designated location and then switch identities to immediately leave the country."
...
(⊙o⊙)...
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
They then glared at Qin Feng as if he were a rare animal, unable to believe it.
"Are... are you telling the truth?"
"Without a doubt, I can hear their conversation."
Qin Feng nodded firmly.
Xia Dongyang was also taken aback, glancing at the door and then at him.
Despite a wall and such a distance, Qin Feng could hear the phone conversation inside.
This is practically on par with close-range monitoring equipment!
A talent!
An absolute talent!
This kind of ability isn’t something that can be trained!
"I’ll report immediately!"
Xia Dongyang couldn’t contain his excitement, a sharp gleam in his eyes, and hurriedly reported,
"Command center, command center, the suspect might be planning to leave with the hostage, how much longer until support arrives?"
"About 10 minutes away, please ensure the scene is controlled, and guarantee the hostage’s safety."
...
Meanwhile, as Qin Feng watched Xia Dongyang’s conversation with the command center, his brows furrowed tightly.
The other party certainly had significant background, being able to arrange for someone to leave the country swiftly under such circumstances.
This indicated they were ready to handle the subsequent storm and had the capability, definitely not an ordinary wealthy person.
"Director Xia, do you know the identity of the suspect?"
He stepped forward and whispered.
Upon hearing this, Xia Dongyang’s pupils shrank, his mouth opened, but he didn’t speak.
Seeing this, Qin Feng roughly understood.
They likely knew.
But since they clearly knew the suspect’s identity, why pursue the arrest so persistently?
Realizing this, his eyes lit up with understanding.
Got it!
This means they were definitely able to act!
However, they certainly couldn’t just say it outright to him.
After all, the matter involved isn’t a trivial one!
But as long as it’s clear they can move in, Qin Feng is entirely capable of subduing him!
The next second,
He touched the pocket inside his coat, where he always carried his acupuncture kit...
