Chapter 958 Hostage Crisis

The hostage-taking incident alarmed the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters and the Malay Federation government 20 kilometers away. The chief police officer of Kuala Lumpur was immediately aware of the scene, followed by the director of the Malay National Anti-Terrorism Office, anti-terrorism experts from the army, and the prime minister's chief of staff, Misbah.

Not far behind the police explosion-proof car, these people urgently held a combat meeting to discuss how to deal with the terrorists in the mall building.

"There are 9 terrorists in the shopping mall. They took control of the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors and took a total of 79 hostages." The Chief of Police, Mai Yaji, was anxiously reporting.

"When will our anti-terrorist team arrive?"

"Already on the way, where are the cameras in the mall? We need to confirm the location of the hostages and the terrain of the mall building. Where are the contractors who built this building? Find them, I need the drawings of the building." Looking at The anti-terrorism expert frowned on the map provided by the person in charge of the shopping mall, "This thing is useless at all."

This kind of map for tourists does not even mark the location of the surveillance, let alone the load-bearing structure of the building. They don't know where the load-bearing structure is, and when they encounter a place that needs to be blasted into, they have to rely on their own intuitive judgment on the amount of charge and the risk, which undoubtedly increases the danger of the operation.

"We have already contacted the construction contractor, and they said they would send the drawings within half an hour. The location of the hostages...it's a bit difficult." Mai Yaji said sweating profusely.

"Difficult?" Jaafar, director of the Office of Counter-Terrorism, frowned.

"The other party clearly planned carefully. They not only cut off the power supply of the building, but also cut off all the connections between the monitoring line and the outside. We can only see a white snow..." The person in charge of the shopping mall said with a wry smile.

These terrorists obviously came prepared.

Chief of Staff Misba looked at his watch, looked in the direction of the Hilton Hotel, took a deep breath and walked in front of Jaafar.

"Listen, I need you to solve this problem in the shortest time and in the cleanest way."

Jaafar shook his head immediately: "The shortest time? Stop talking nonsense, there are 79 hostages inside, unless Mr. Prime Minister is willing to be responsible for the lives of the hostages."

Misba lowered his voice: "I know this is difficult, but there are foreign guests in the Hilton Hotel next door, and they are of a high level."

"Foreign guests? What foreign guests?" Jaafar frowned.

"The rich man in the New Malaysia District,

I don't say the name, you should know who it is. And just now, he and Mr. Prime Minister negotiated a big deal involving more than 1 billion US dollars, which is related to power projects and TNB company. "Misba took a deep breath, looked in the direction of the mall, and said, "We must not let you have concerns about our investment environment. We must resolve this hostage crisis in the shortest possible time, otherwise... someone must stand up in the end. Come out and take charge. "

Jafar's scalp felt a little numb, and he couldn't help cursing.

"This gang of damned scum, why did they choose this time and this place!"

"You can ask this question after you catch those bastards, if you can catch the prisoners." Sighing, Misba looked at his watch again, and then looked at the Chief Sheriff, "Someone has to go to appease the foreign guests." emotions. At least let them know that this is just an accident and does not represent the security environment in Malaysia as a whole..."

...

This is the 21st floor of the Hilton Hotel, which happened to overlook the entire scene. Jiang Chen moved a chair over and sat by the glass window of the balcony, watching the scene of the confrontation between the police and the robbers with great interest.

This is much more interesting than watching a movie.

The police put the police car across the passageway outside the shopping mall, holding a pistol and crouching nervously behind the police car used as cover. Police officers in body armor held loudspeakers, shrank behind the explosion-proof car, and shouted to the robbers in the mall.

The Kuala Lumpur police opened the yellow seal and evacuated the crowd on the street. The entire street was urgently blocked, including the entrance of the Hilton Hotel.

I have to say that there are still many people who are not afraid of death.

Outside the cordon, the crowd surrounded densely. Apart from the reporters from the news newspapers, many citizens were also holding up their mobile phones to take pictures. With so many cameras facing each other, the police officers were a bit uncomfortable. This is a metropolis in Southeast Asia. If such a serious hijacking happened, it would make international headlines!

Jiang Chen called the bodyguard who was standing guard at the door downstairs and told him to go downstairs and ask what happened there.

Not far away, the confrontation between the police and the gangsters caught Jiang Chen. The hostages in the shopping mall made them wary, and the demands made by the gangsters made them unacceptable.

Soon, the bodyguard called back and reported the situation downstairs to Jiang Chen.

In short, those gangsters were not ordinary gangsters at all, but terrorists equipped with automatic weapons and body armor. A total of 79 hostages were held in the mall, most of them were mall staff and some tourists who were shopping. The gangsters asked the police to immediately release the 110 prisoners who were arrested on suspicion of planning and participating in terrorist attacks. If no one is released after five hours, one person will be killed every hour.

Of course it is impossible for the Malay government to release those prisoners.

If it is the first to compromise with terrorists, then there will be no end in the future? Moreover, the terrorists in the shopping mall obviously didn't intend to escape. They were afraid that they had confirmed the safety of their accomplices one second before exploding on the spot the next second.

The Malay police were helpless and could only request reinforcements from the anti-terrorist forces stationed in Kuala Lumpur. Soon two armored vehicles drove onto the street, two Black Hawk helicopters hovered near the mall, and anti-terrorism troops in black combat uniforms arrived at the scene and surrounded the mall building.

It seems that there are no new moves?

Jiang Chen yawned, and when he was about to go back to the house, his watch vibrated twice.

Turn on the holographic screen, and the bodyguard standing guard at the door appears on the screen.

"Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister Misbah and Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Mai Yaki are at the door and they wish to visit you."

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he understood their purpose, so he nodded.

"Let him in."

"Yes." The bodyguard wearing sunglasses nodded and ended the communication.

Soon, the entrance door opened, and a tall, thin man with a European face in a suit walked in, followed by an Asian man in police uniform.

Walking into the house, Misba was the first to speak with an apologetic face.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry that we met again in this way. There was a hijacking incident in the shopping mall building opposite. I'm sorry that our work mistakes have affected your travel. If you have any arrangements to go out at night, we can Arrange for armored vehicles to escort you from the gate to outside the cordon."

"No need. I understand your difficulties very well, and I sincerely hope that the hostages in the mall are safe and sound." The apology from the chief of staff was very sincere, and Jiang Chen didn't make things difficult for him, expressing himself very accommodatingly. I don't care.

But at this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the sheriff behind him.

With a slight movement of his eyes, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, so he smiled and said.

"May I know how the hostages in the shopping mall are doing?"

Mai Yaji thumped in his heart, secretly thinking that this Mr. Jiang really asked about this matter.

After asking all the questions, he couldn't help but answer, so he said bravely, "The situation is under control now. After the anti-terrorist forces arrive, we will start a rescue operation soon. It's just because of the monitoring system—"

Misba glared at Myaki, and the sheriff immediately realized that he was talking too much, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Although the sheriff quickly shut up, Jiang Chen had already heard what he wanted to hear.

Smiling and nodding, Jiang Chen looked at Mr. Chief of Staff and said.

"Monitoring? I don't know if our Star Ring Trade can help you." (To be continued.) Activate the new website
