Inside the bank.

Jon observed the ground for a while and saw there was no movement outside. He got up and went to the water dispenser for a drink.

Jon went to the side of the dead policemen while holding the glass.

He searched for his own equipment while looking at the policemen beside him.

After taking a sip of water, a new plan suddenly appeared his eyes.

As Jon was thinking about the details, a voice suddenly came from outside the bank.

“Listen up, robber inside!”

“I’m the negotiator in the city. I’m here to help you.”

“If you have any requests, we can talk. As long as you don’t hurt the hostages, we can meet your reasonable requests.”

Jon raised his eyebrows.

He made a cat leap.

When he arrived at the bank’s entrance, he stood behind the load-bearing wall and hid his body. At the same time, he looked out through the gaps between the posters.

In the square, a middle-aged man in casual clothes was holding a loudspeaker and shouting into the bank.

A negotiator?

Jon knew that until now, the police probably wouldn’t choose a spy to come in.

Because once the spy failed, it would definitely cause the robber to rage and threaten the hostages’ lives.

Therefore, this negotiator should not be too much of a problem.

“You come in!”

“I’ll only negotiate with you.”

Jon hesitated for a moment, but he still spoke to the outside.

The current situation was a stalemate. It was not only stressful for the police, but also for Jon.

Through the negotiator, Jon could pressure the police again and make some requests for them to keep them busy. It was just in time for Jon to prepare his next step.

Hearing Jon’s words, the negotiation experts outside were slightly stunned.

Into the bank to negotiate?

But inside the bank, there was a brutal robber who carried the lives of seven police officers on his back. It was too risky for the negotiator to enter the bank.

“I don’t agree with you going in. The robber is extremely brutal. If there are any problems with the negotiation, you will be in danger at any time.”

“Now, seven policemen have been killed, and eleven hostages are in the hands of the robber.”

“If you go in and any problems happen again, things will only get worse.”

Just as the negotiator was hesitating, the sheriff’s voice sounded in his earpiece.

As the commander of this exercise, the sheriff naturally had to express his opinion on everything.

“The robber is willing to negotiate shows that he is willing to use the chips in his hands to exchange for some requests.”

“I think this is a chance to stabilize the robber.”

“Captain, let me go in and try!”

The negotiator hesitated for a few seconds before replying to the captain into the microphone.

As a negotiator, he knew very well that in this kind of bank robbery, the psychological pressure of the robber would become greater as time passed. At this time, the robber would easily act on the hostage.

Negotiation was the best way to satisfy some of the robber’s requirements at this point, such as meeting his family and preparing a fully-fueled car for him…

Satisfying these requirements allowed him to see a glimmer of hope.

With hope in his heart, the robber would cherish the chips in his hands and would not easily harm the hostage.

This was the meaning of negotiation.

On the other end of the earpiece, the sheriff was silent, too.

There was indeed no better way now.

After all…

In the bank, all the hostages and robber were dressed in the same uniform. They did not even know where the robber was.

Even if they took a forceful attack, the chances of success were almost zero.

“Ensure your own safety!”

After a long silence, the sheriff’s solemn voice came from the earpiece.

The negotiator did not respond.

He just raised the loudspeaker in his hand and shouted at the bank again.

“Open the door and I’ll come in to talk to you alone.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t have any weapons on me.”

A loud voice came through the loudspeaker.

After saying that, the negotiator put the loudspeaker in his hand on the ground. He raised his hands high and slowly approached the bank.

“Click click…”

A slight sound was heard.

The electronic door of the bank slowly opened and the glass door was also opened to a width that a person could pass through.

The sniper on the opposite building hurriedly searched for a target.

There was indeed a figure wearing a military green windbreaker, a cap, black combat boots and a mask inside the bank’s main door.

However, he was raising his hand high and a black gun barrel was behind his head.

The person with the gun was hiding behind the load-bearing wall.

“Report, a figure wearing the same clothes as the robber appeared at the bank entrance but he should be a hostage!”

“The robber is hiding behind the load-bearing wall with a gun, unable to aim at the target.”

The sniper hurriedly reported the situation.

“All police officers, don’t act rashly. Don’t anger the robber now!”

“Everyone, stay alert and listen to my orders!”

The sheriff’s anxious voice sounded in all the police’s earphones.

All the police officers followed the orders after hearing that and didn’t dare to take any action.

The negotiation expert walked towards the bank.

All the police officers were on standby and didn’t dare to take any action.

Because…

If they alerted the robber, the robber would immediately shoot and kill the hostage in front of the muzzle.

Moreover…

The robber was well hidden. Even the sniper could not locate the robber.

“Hello.”

“Don’t be nervous. I’m really here to help you.”

The negotiator raised his hands and finally walked into the bank. He also saw Jon hiding behind the load-bearing wall.

His eyes were cold and calm. Usually, people who were confident in themselves would have such eyes.

The negotiator tried his best to speak to Jon in the gentlest tone possible.

As he spoke, he kept repeating that he was here to help him. While he was comforting Jon, he also wanted to gain his trust.

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Put your hands on your head and lie on the ground. Don’t do anything.”

“As soon as you make a move, I’ll shoot him!”

Jon looked at the negotiator and said coldly.

He directly displayed the aura of a thug.

The hostage standing in front of the muzzle was the lobby manager, Sunny.

At this moment, he did not dare to move. According to Jon’s request, he just stood behind the glass door of the bank with his hands held high.

When the negotiator heard Jon’s words, he quickly followed.

With his hands on his head, he slowly knelt down and then prostrated on the ground.

“Click click click…”

With the sound of the iron chains, the alloy gate of the bank was once again locked.

In the temporary command center, a few commanders stood quietly.

The negotiator was wearing a microphone and headset. They could also raise the content of the negotiation here.

This was Jon’s first formal conversation with the police.
