Chapter 1035 New Year’s Snowy Night (15)
Jack likes to deal with smart people, and right now, both Sheriff Ronick and gang boss Bishop are such smart people.
In the world of detective novels, there is a term "isolated island mode", also known as "Blizzard Villa", which refers to a group of people gathering in a relatively closed environment that loses contact with the outside world.
No one can escape from this environment for the time being, and at the same time, some bad things will happen among the trapped people, such as murder, making each other fall into mutual suspicion.
This model is very classic, because the conditions in a closed environment are limited and there is a lack of external intervention. Fear will spread internally, leading to mutual suspicion, and it is easy to create various dramatic conflicts.
As a result, this model has been used for reference in many novels and film and television works, and many derivative genres have been born.
For example, "Ambush", which tells the story of a group of FBI being involved in a murder mystery on an isolated island, is one of the masterpieces and is also a very unique psychological suspense film.
However, Jack prefers another movie "The Fog" with a bit of black humor. People of various identities are trapped in a supermarket, and factions gradually divide and start sharp confrontations.
This is somewhat similar to the current situation in Police Station No. 13. As the police chief, Ronick is trying to unite everyone to tide over the difficulties together in the face of the threat of the black police.
Although Bishop is a little cautious, as a gang leader, he is obviously a person who understands current affairs, and it can be said that he can see the situation clearly.
Compared with freedom, saving his life is the most important thing. After all, he may not die if he goes to prison, but the threat of the black police outside who will not hesitate to kill everyone here but also to silence him is imminent.
The natural antagonism between the two parties due to their identities was originally a prerequisite for cooperation under external threats. It can even be said that a little trust has been established. At this time, the old police officer Jasper jumped out to challenge Things seem a bit mindless.
This kind of thing has nothing to do with a sense of justice. In Jack's opinion, besides relying on his elders and showing off, the reason is more because Ronick, the acting director, is usually too salty and lacks prestige.
If Jack had appeared here alone, he might have just changed into the equipment of a black police officer and gone out in chaos. As long as he left the signal shielding area and called for reinforcements, the matter would be over.
But who would let a good old man like John be here? Even if Jack could change clothes and leave with him, he would definitely not agree to it based on his character.
Rather than letting Jack take him outside with a dozen or twenty black police officers, it would be better to just stay safe inside.
So he asked John to hand over the excess firearms and equipment to Roenick for distribution. This was a clear-cut stand. It not only helped the sergeant suppress internal dissent, but also warned the prisoners in disguise that it was best to be safe. points.
At this time, the black police outside were also a little numb. The main entrance was bustling with excitement but they couldn't rush in. The teammates who broke in from other directions disappeared one by one.
Seeing that the guys in the police station had gone from hiding in the house waiting for counterattacks due to a lack of weapons, to being able to shoot at them on the second floor with the seized firearms and ammunition. It is natural to imagine the fate of those teammates who have no movement.
There were more than ten criminal police officers involved in the attack. At the height of the fighting, at least five or six assault rifles were fired at the door and front hall at the same time, trying to attract as many people as possible to the police station. Everyone's attention.
As a result, the raids that were divided into multiple directions failed. Although explosives and shock bombs were used to break the door, only one shield hand escaped from the seven people who broke into the police station, and they were severely burned.
This means that the number of illegal police officers surrounding Police Station No. 13 is now less than 20. Not only has the absolute numerical advantage been lost, but the advantages of firearms and equipment have also been equalized by the previous wave.
The gangster police were suddenly in an awkward situation. If Bishop could not be silenced, more than 20 people in their department would have to go to jail.
But if they really attack regardless of the cost, how many lives will they have to pay?
Whether you spend the rest of your life in prison or die immediately, this is a question worth thinking about.
"They neither attack nor evacuate. What are they planning to do?" Alice carefully hid behind the window and looked outside. She found that only one GMC drove away, seemingly sending away the only injured person. The two DPD-painted police cars blocking the intersection showed no intention of driving away.
"Waiting for reinforcements, of course." Jack wrapped bandages on Alex's feet and put on shoes, and then found the coat she was wearing when she came and put it on her.
At this time, the old police officer Jasper had already found various tools from the storage room with a look of displeasure on his face. Together with Ronick, he took out wooden boards from several desks and chairs and nailed them on On those blown-out windows.
The sniper ambushing on the opposite side fired several shots in an attempt to interfere, but it had no effect, and Jack did not try to fight back.
Although the snowstorm outside was still very heavy, at a distance of more than 100 meters, Jack, with a long gun in his hand, was at least 60 to 70% sure of stopping the sniper across the street.
But now is not the best time to take action. The opponent does not know that this side has the ability to counterattack, and has no idea of shifting its position for the time being.
The exposed sniper is not a big threat to everyone. There are many windows in the police station, and avoiding the gun line does not prevent them from having enough vision to observe the situation outside.
But if they are killed and a new sniper is replaced on the opposite side and their positions are moved, there will inevitably be another troublesome test of each other, and maybe there will be casualties on our side.

"I heard that you were shot at least five times and there are still bullets left in your body. Is this true? Bishop, there is a legend that you once pulled out a man's spine."
When Jack and Ronick walked into the detention area together, the drug addict who was assigned to mend his hole was chattering to Bishop about the gangster's "heroic past".
"Shut up! That's your Adam's apple. No matter how much nonsense you talk, I don't mind letting you experience that feeling." Bishop, who originally didn't want to answer, looked over in embarrassment. Jack, who was walking towards him, turned around and roared lowly at the other party.
It’s a strange feeling. This kind of embarrassment is just like when I was a student in an ordinary high school and watched my parents show off to a national college entrance examination top scorer that their child’s score was among the top ten in the grade with great pride.
Jack could only pretend not to hear anything, threw a spare magazine to the addict and reminded, "If you waste ammunition again, I don't mind wasting one more bullet on you. .”
The addict hurriedly caught the magazine, his mouth twitched in fright, and he quickly hid his body behind Bishop.
"It's too quiet now, something's not right. I think we need to discuss it." Bishop hammered the last nail hard, broke off the board hard, and faced the two people after confirming that it was firm. said.
Ronick glanced at the somewhat nervous drug addict and winked at Bishop, so the three of them went to the storage room at the back together.
Bishop said straight to the point, "Marcus Duvall won't let us waste it until dawn."
Ronick looked at Jack and then at Bishop , "We have guns and people now. As long as everyone defends their respective areas, they can't attack. I don't understand what you are worried about?"
"Let's put it this way, if you were outside, would you let the people inside just wait until dawn like this?" Bishop also looked at Jack.
Jack showed his hands to the two of them, "What you said makes sense, but I am not that Marcus Duvall. I don't know how many cards he has. Do you know?"
Bishop scratched his head irritably, "I don't know, but I don't want to stay here waiting to die."
Ronick came to his senses now and warned, "If you If you try to take advantage of the current situation to escape, I must remind you that I will not let you succeed. When this is over, your destination will be prison."
