Chapter 331 Counterattack
Hengyuan Building.
The first floor below is a large supermarket, the first, second and third floors are office buildings, and above is the Hengyuan Hotel.
The elevators in office buildings and hotels are used separately.
A row of clocks with different time zones hang behind the front desk.
The time is now 5:30 in the afternoon, and people have begun to enter the hotel lobby.
On the sofa opposite the lobby sat a circle of customers preparing to check in. Linjiang City is considered half a tourist city.
Hengyuan Hotel is a four-star hotel with foreign business license, so you can see many foreign tourists carrying travel bags in the lobby.
Li Peiwen only had three people under her command. After the shooting, she immediately ran out of the community and rushed into the hotel lobby.
“You, hold the elevator!”
"Shitou, go guard the fire stairs."
"Che Yi, go to the underground parking lot! There are too many floors in this building, we have to wait for support! Don't act easily!"
" Yes!" The three people agreed, glanced at the hotel floor plan on the wall, and quickly ran to the designated location.
Li Peiwen came to the front desk of the hotel and showed his ID to the staff: "I am from the security department. Call your manager out immediately."
Two uniformed waitresses looked at the computer operating man. Men generally know more than women. When he heard it was the security department, he was stunned and opened his mouth.
He has dealt with the police and fire fighters many times in hotels, but this was his first encounter with the security department.
The man swallowed his saliva and asked the name he was thinking of: "Guo...an?"
Li Peiwen didn't have time to explain to him, and glanced at his nameplate. Immediately said: "There is a gunman in your hotel. I need you to stop the elevator immediately and close all entrances and exits!"
"This..."
"Immediately, restrict the entry and exit of anyone, including underground Parking lot!”
The lobby manager was shocked: "I need to call the chairman!"
Although he had heard the word "gunman", what the other party said was too big, and the department was also very special. Naturally, he remained skeptical.
Li Peiwen gritted her teeth: "I tell you, if you delay my time and let the gunman escape, your hotel will be closed!"
The lobby manager was not threatened by her, and he She immediately picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed a number...
Li Peiwen could only grit her teeth and wait. She counted the time in her mind. Only five minutes had passed from the time of the shooting to when she arrived at the scene.
The shooter was on the upper floors of the hotel, at least from the fifteenth floor up. Even if he took the elevator and ran out of the hotel, he would still see someone at the front desk.
Unless the other party took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot and drove away directly...
Thinking of this, Li Peiwen stared at a trembling waitress and asked: "Have you seen each other? Pass the guests carrying big bags and walk out of the hotel?”< br>
The waitress shook her head: "The check-out time is at 12 noon. Very few guests check out at this time, because it takes a whole day."
"Take all the hotel's Bring up the surveillance camera for me, I want to see it," Li Peiwen said, walking around the front desk.
But the lobby manager immediately stopped her: "Please wait a moment. Our chairman is calling the city bureau. After confirming your identity, we will immediately cooperate with your actions."
"You... "
"I'm sorry, this is the hotel's rule, there's nothing I can do about it!"
Li Peiwen was stopped by him and was about to lose his temper when he saw a big bloody hand behind him. This ID appears in front of the lobby manager.
"City Bureau Criminal Police Detachment, I am Luo Rui, deputy detachment leader. From now on, please cooperate with our police investigation immediately!"
As soon as these words came out, the lobby manager was immediately stunned. Luo Rui's name was well known in Linjiang City. He was the one who started the anti-pornography campaign not long ago, and there was always a legend about him in Linjiang City.
Everyone in entertainment, hotels and other places knows the name of "Luo Sweeping Porn".
Besides, Luo Rui and Qinggui Chen Hao, two years ago, searched the whole city for the suspects who robbed J's escort truck, and they were also in danger during the jewelry store explosion.
At that time, Hu Changyu of the Municipal Bureau was still under pressure and tried his best to hunt down X, so no one in Linjiang City did not know these people.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree. When the lobby manager saw him, he immediately nodded: "Okay, Captain Luo. Please tell us what you need us to do."
Luo Rui nodded to Cai Xiaojing, who and Lin Chen immediately walked around the front desk, pushed aside several staff members, and started operating a computer.
"Yonghui, take a group of people to the underground parking lot, seal the exit, and no vehicles are allowed in or out."
Luo Rui then looked at the few technicians who were following him. Detective: "You are stationed at the back door of the hotel and no one is allowed in or out. If someone breaks through the door, don't fight them and notify us immediately!"
"Yes!"
Luo Rui said After finishing, Li Peiwen was looking at him.
He said: "The SWAT detachment will arrive in a few minutes. We must first ensure that the gunman is still in the building."
Li Peiwen sighed: "Detachment Luo, your name is better than the name of our department." Use.”
“You are a special department. You are always seen and heard, and the common people have a very bad impression of you. Strange, most of them deal with grassroots policemen like us."
"What a grassroots policeman." Li Peiwen just sighed a little, and then got back to business: "Is that woman's life in danger?"
"She is still breathing, and the ambulance has taken her away."
"Fortunately."
"But that child..."
"It's not important."
As Li Peiwen spoke, Luo Rui immediately stared at her: " Not important?”
“Uh... I mean it’s not important to the case we are investigating, don’t get me wrong.”
Luo Rui looked at her deeply and said nothing.
Time passed slowly, and piercing sirens sounded outside the building, and more than one police car came over.
Cai Xiaojing looked up from the computer: "I checked the surveillance in the hotel lobby and back door. In the past fifteen minutes, no suspicious persons have left the hotel."
Lin Chen also released the mouse : "In the four elevators, no suspicious man has come downstairs in the past fifteen minutes."
"What about the surveillance of the underground parking lot?"
Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "There are not many surveillance cameras in the parking lot, and there are many blind spots that cannot be captured by the surveillance cameras..."
Lin Chen answered: "None of the four elevators go to the underground parking lot."< br>
Li Peiwen asked: "Could it be the fire stairs?"
Escape by taking the elevator, of course it is fast, but you have to face the surveillance camera. Generally, a professional gunman would not show such an appearance. Big flaw.
And it was a long-distance killing, so the gun used must be a sniper rifle.
Such people are bold and cautious, and are life-threatening, and it is not ruled out that there are escorts. As long as they go out of the hotel, they will disappear in the sea of people.
In the current era, without a complete Skynet system, it is difficult to catch them.
This is why even though Li Peiwen is from the security department and has received professional training, she did not rush into the building in the first place.
In such a big building, as long as the gunman has not escaped from the hotel, the scene must be cordoned off immediately and waiting for the supporting special police to arrive. It is only a matter of time before he is caught.
But on the other hand, no hotel staff in the upper floors of the hotel called the police, indicating that the serious nature of the matter did not rise to the level of hostage-taking.
However, it is not ruled out that the gunman jumped over the wall in a hurry, so Lin Chen was checking the surveillance situation on each floor to see if there was any hostage-taking incident.
Cai Xiaojing moved very quickly. After a while, she raised her head: "The security door leading to the first floor is also monitored. No one has come down in the past fifteen minutes."
Luo Rui pondered: "That means the gunman is still in the building? It's impossible. When he fired, the other party saw me. He must know that the police are around. Does this gunman really want to rob someone? Holding hostages?"
Hearing this, Li Peiwen shook his head, his eyes sharp, and he seemed to be deeply moved: "No, I have dealt with these people. These people do things for money. After they succeed, Definitely leave the scene immediately, and usually don't take hostages.
Even if they can't escape, they rarely take innocent people hostage.
If they really do this, they will be confronting the entire urban police system, and the nature of the matter will escalate...
Confronting the police face to face, they know that they will definitely not survive. ”
Actually, Li Peiwen still has some things he didn’t say. In such a situation, the hired gunman will have many life-saving means in exchange for his own life.
Detention and arrest They, or release, etc., are not subject to existing legal constraints.
This is beyond the scope of the public security organs and beyond most people's understanding. This is why Luo Rui doesn't like people like Li Peiwen. , that’s why.
When the special police detachment pushed open the double glass doors and led the team over, Lin Chen raised his head from the monitor screen: "Here...there is a problem with this person!"
Luo Rui and Li Peiwen hurriedly stood In front of the computer, he looked down at the surveillance screen.
The screen is playing at three times the speed, and the floor displayed in the upper left corner is the 18th floor.
It was six o'clock yesterday afternoon. A man with a travel bag on one shoulder came out of the elevator, looked around, then walked to room 1808 and swiped his card to enter.
This man is tall and tall, wearing a peaked cap with a low brim.
This is not important, what is important is the travel bag he is wearing.
This bag is just big enough to hold a sniper rifle.
"No. 1808, No. 1808..." Luo Rui muttered, and immediately said: "This room is facing the community, Meng Jiayao's bedroom and the customer balcony! It's him!"
Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing immediately entered room number 1808 into the hotel resident system without waiting for Luo Rui's instructions.
Lin Chen also quickly speeded up the video playback speed...
The customer's identity information immediately pops up in the hotel system.
Cai Xiaojing said: "This man's name is Basong Chalumpong. He is 28 years old. The passport used when he checked in showed that he came from Xiangjiang."
Luo Rui nodded and turned around When I got up, I found that Li Peiwen had already entered the elevator with a team of special police officers.
"Damn, the news is not clear yet, why are you anxious?" Luo Rui quickly took the walkie-talkie from a SWAT officer and threw it to Cai Xiaojing: "Keep in touch!"
He said to the elevator He trotted over and walked in just as the door was about to close.
Li Peiwen pressed the floor button, contacted her three team members, and pulled out a gun from her waist.
Other SWAT officers ride in three other elevators. Luo Rui asked for a walkie-talkie from another special police officer, and Cai Xiaojing's voice immediately came out: "The guest in room 1808 has not left the hotel room since he checked in at 6 o'clock last night, and the door did not open after the shooting. You should be careful.”
“Okay, received!”
Soon, the 18th floor is here.
Just in case, Li Peiwen waited for everyone else to come up and began to take action.
Since the gunman was carrying a sniper rifle, it is unknown whether there are other guns or dangerous items.
So the experienced special police took the lead and were divided into three groups. One group carried the goalposts on their shoulders, the other group held explosion-proof shields, and the last group was the assault group to conduct confrontation and arrest.
In addition, special police officers were also stationed at both ends of the corridor, always alert to the gunman's rampage.
There were other residents on this floor, but they were not asked to leave.
The SWAT captain leading the team looked around. After seeing the personnel in place, he raised a fist, extended his index finger, middle finger, and finally his thumb.
With a sound of "Bang!", the hotel room door opened directly after hitting the doorpost.
SWAT officers holding riot shields entered first, followed by a third group of personnel.
They moved very fast and gestured constantly.
Especially the special police officer leading the team. After he entered the door, he took a very experienced position to cover his team members' entry.
Luo Rui and Li Peiwen followed them through the door and immediately saw a sniper rifle dropped on the ground and a man in a jacket, who was kneeling under the balcony with his forehead touching the wall.
Two SWAT members immediately rushed forward and held down the man's shoulders.
But everyone saw that this man’s head was covered in blood, and the white walls were splattered with blood.
"Dead?" Li Peiwen held the gun with both hands, holding the gun with one hand, and stretched out one hand, ready to check the man's wounds.
Luo Rui stood aside and looked out the window.
This room is closed, and the balcony window is not the kind that can be pushed open directly. Instead, it has to be pushed upward, but it can only be pushed halfway, and at most half a head can be squeezed in.
Looking outside, you can just see Room 1002, Building 4, where Meng Jiayao lives.
Although the two places are separated by a road and a wall, the distance is still within 500 meters.
When Luo Rui was rescuing Meng Jiayao, the sun's rays happened to be here. The sunlight reflected on the sight of the sniper rifle and then refracted to the residential building opposite.
Now that I think about it, the person the gunman wanted to kill was Meng Jiayao. If it had been him, Luo Rui would have died long ago.
At this time, Li Peiwen held the man's shoulders and straightened his body.
I saw that the left side of the opponent's head was bloody and bloody, and it looked like he had been shot.
"It was shot by a bullet from a sniper rifle." The SWAT officer leading the team said.
"What?" Before Li Peiwen could react, he saw Luo Rui running out of the room.
She immediately followed and chased Luo Rui into the elevator.
After the two people left the hotel, they took the others and went straight to Building 4 of the community. After going up to the rooftop, there was not a single ghost on the rooftop.
Luo Rui ran to the rooftop facing the Hengyuan Hotel.
As soon as Li Peiwen wanted to move forward, Luo Rui immediately shouted: "Don't move!"
"What's wrong?"
"Are you a policeman?" Luo Rui asked.
Li Peiwen was scolded and looked at him indifferently: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't you see that the waterproofing measures on the rooftop are not good, the ground is black and moldy, and the second gunman is in this position Shooting will leave a lot of traces.”
Li Peiwen retorted: "We don't have time to worry about this now. The second gunman hasn't run far yet, and it's still too late to arrest him."
"That's okay! You organize people to arrest him!" Luo Rui said from He took out the blue ankle boots from his pocket, stood on one foot, and put them on alternately.
"You..."
"If you have time to argue with me, you might as well go to the community and check the surveillance to see which direction this person escaped from. Damn it, I got involved in your case. It's so unlucky! The case hasn't been investigated clearly yet. Two professional gunmen appeared, acting in a movie here."
Luo Rui complained as he carefully approached the wall on the edge of the rooftop.
Li Peiwen snorted coldly, turned and left.
Not long after, Cai Xiaojing led the technical detectives to the rooftop and began to extract nearby footprints.
Luo Rui quickly reported the matter to the city bureau. After Lu Kangming answered the phone, he was startled and hurriedly found Tang Zhiguo.
Tang Zhiguo also began to report the matter to the police. After making many calls, he returned the call.
"Luo Rui, you have to assist them in investigating this case."
"Why!" Luo Rui stood on the rooftop, facing the wind, and immediately retorted.
His voice was loud and reached the ears of the police officers who were extracting evidence from the scene.
“No, Bureau Tang, I am not targeting you, my tone is not very nice, but you have to know the nature of this case. Our Municipal Bureau’s Criminal Police Detachment investigates murder cases in the city, or A major murder, but this one went completely beyond our specifications
Why should I assist Li Peiwen in the investigation? Why should my police officers take this risk?
Besides, if we die, the burial expenses will not be as much as theirs. Do you think this is true? "
Luo Rui expressed all his dissatisfaction. Tang Zhiguo had never seen Luo Rui lose such a temper. He was stunned for a long time and replied: "No, I just called Commander Zhu. He said You have agreed to investigate this case..."
"When did I agree? I just agreed to investigate the case of Zhang Jichun's murder. The circumstances of Zhang Jichun's murder are very clear. He was coerced by two gangsters and fell into the water from the cross-river bridge to his death!
And the gunman we had at the scene obviously did not match the appearance of the two gangsters. Does he have anything to do with our city bureau? ”
Tang Zhiguo blushed at what he said. If Kang Bolin dared to talk to him like this, he would have scolded him bloody. But Luo Rui was different. He had someone to protect him.
Not only that, Tang Zhiguo heard the news from the city. Now Linjiang City is attracting investment. These people found out that Luo Rui, as the father-in-law who is not his father-in-law, has established an investment company in the province and city. company.
This company has strong strength and precise investment. The investment projects in its hands are all star companies from all over the world.
The boss of China Merchants Bureau is planning to visit Luo Rui and let him add bricks and tiles to his hometown.
This person happened to be his subordinate, and Tang Zhiguo seemed helpless.
Although Luo Rui works within the system, outside the system, he can sit on an equal footing with Tang Zhiguo's leaders, chatting and laughing.
This is so bad.
"Deputy branch, the security department's investigation documents have been handed down, what do you think we should do?"
Luo Rui replied: "I didn't say we won't help, just ask a brigade to help Li Peiwen Just run some errands, my criminal team has withdrawn."
"This..."
"My name is not on the investigation documents, right?"
"Wait a moment, I'll make a few calls first."
"Okay." Luo Rui put down the phone. Then I walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down. I saw police cars all on the road outside the community.
Hengyuan Hotel and the community have been sealed off, with special police and civilian police coming in and out.
At this time, Fang Yonghui and Lin Chen ran up to the rooftop, panting.
Fang Yonghui said: "I have been a policeman for so long, but I have never dealt with Guo'an. Luo Da, a lot of people have just arrived."
"Who are they?"
"I don't know their identities, but they are better than me. Our city bureau is one level higher."
Lin Chen said: "I just saw Team Leader Li leading the special police detachment to chase the gunman to the south of the city."
Luo Rui teased. He said: "The action is quite fast."
It is not difficult to speculate that one gunman stayed at the Hengyuan Hotel, using a sniper rifle, looking for an opportunity to kill Meng Jiayao, and another gunman sneaked into the community, also looking for an opportunity to kill Meng Jiayao.
After the gunman in the hotel succeeded in shooting, the gunman on the rooftop of the community decisively shot his companion to eliminate the hidden danger of exposure.
Luo Rui thought for a while, if it was the gunman from the community who killed Meng Jiayao, would the gunman hiding in the hotel also make such a choice when his companions were exposed?
Professional, so professional! Luo Rui cursed in his heart.
The only variable here is that by chance, I discovered the existence of Meng Jiayuan and found her in time.
And judging from the situation at the time, the two gunmen must have noticed that the police were coming to the door, so they did not choose to alert the snake. Instead, they waited for Meng Jiayuan to be discovered and were about to be caught, when the other party had no choice but to shoot.
Looking back now, Luo Rui realized that Meng Jiayuan had been on heightened alert, and the curtains on the balcony and bedroom were tightly drawn. She probably knew that she might be in danger.
First Qiu Mingjie was killed, then Zhang Jichun, and finally Meng Jiayao.
Guoan intervened. There is no doubt that the identities of these three people are very clear, and there is no doubt about their location.
Qiu Mingjie is a professor at the Institute, and Zhang Jichun is also a professor at the School of Liberal Arts. Both of them are highly respected people in society.
And how did Meng Jiayuan, a young woman, get involved with them?
Her child is Qiu Mingjie’s, but the mother and son were raised in the same community by Zhang Jichun.
Luo Rui could only sigh, these old professors really know how to play.
The two gunmen wanted to kill her at any cost. It seemed that this woman knew a lot of things.
Thinking like this, Luo Rui's cell phone rang.
The caller was not Tang Zhiguo, but Zhu Yong.
He opened his mouth and said: "Luo Rui, you have been appointed to lead a team to investigate this case. You should do your best to cooperate with Li Peiwen..."
"But..."
"It's nothing but, don't you just want benefits? Tell me, what do you want?"
Luo Rui couldn't help but blurt out: "You are a good judge of people."
