"What's going on?" Wang Chaoyang walked to Sha Junlong and asked.
"It's hard to say now. There's no response from inside," Sha Junlong said.
"We need more intelligence. The development of the situation has gone far beyond the scope of our mission briefing," Wang Chaoyang said.
"I'm afraid only the 'Shadow' brigade can answer this. There must be something hidden." Sha Junlong said.
"Qiu Yun, are you hiding something from us?" Wang Chaoyang called Qiu Yun on the radio.
"No. All the information we have has been reported to you. We don't know anything more," Qiu Yun said.
"I know." Wang Chaoyang said.
After finishing speaking, Wang Chaoyang shook his head at Sha Junlong.
"This is strange. Did we ambush them or they ambush us? Now it's all a mess," said Sha Junlong.
"I don't know. We still act according to the plan. Since the terrorists have not started to cause sabotage yet or negotiate conditions, we are not worried about the safety of the hostages for the time being." Wang Chaoyang said.
"But you said these terrorists are really weird. If you don't want to negotiate terms, you just kill all the hostages and then fight us desperately. It's a very strange phenomenon that you don't kill people and don't negotiate terms now. It doesn't make sense." Sha Junlong said.
"Yeah, that makes sense. What's the problem?" Wang Chaoyang said.
"I don't know yet." Sha Junlong shook his head and said.
"People inside, listen. We are the Chinese People's Police. I am a police negotiator. My name is Xie Yao. I am here to help you."
A recording was played over the loudspeaker.
"Damn, you are so smart that you were confused for a moment. You have to be able to understand those terrorists when you call them in Chinese," Wang Chaoyang said.
"That should be used."
"At least use English." Wang Chaoyang said.
"Well, Yaoyao, it's time to test you." Sha Junlong kicked the ball directly to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao smiled, grabbed the megaphone, and played it again in English.
After a while, the police officer on duty at the door of the command car ran over and said to Xie Yao: "Inspector Xie, the terrorist's call went to the 110 alarm desk. It has been transferred to the command car."
"Let's go." Xie Yao got up from the ground and walked to the command vehicle. Sha Junlong followed.
"Don't leave." Wang Chaoyang pulled Sha Junlong. "You and I have other things to do."
"Oh. Then you can go by yourself." Sha Junlong greeted Xie Yao.
"Qiu Yun. The command vehicle has contacted the terrorists. Please go there. We are going to invade the hotel's video surveillance system." Wang Chaoyang called Qiu Yundao.
"I understand. Please pay attention to safety." Qiu Yun said.
"We are ready."
Li Jialing, Wen Jie, and Gao Fei arrived at Wang Chaoyang's side.
"What should we do?" Wang Chaoyang asked.
"Let's try intruding through the external network first. If it doesn't work, we have to find another way." Li Jialing said.
"Okay. Let's do it. Start right away." Wang Chaoyang said.
Li Jialing and Wenjie immediately deployed their electronic equipment and prepared to start the invasion.
The two people operated the computer and quickly connected to the wireless Internet. Then they found the hotel's IP address through the telecommunications bureau's server and began to attack the hotel's firewall.
"How long does it take?" Wang Chaoyang asked, looking at the data codes scrolling on the screen and Li Jialing quickly inputting commands line by line.
"No problem. Right now." Li Jialing knocked on the car and said.
The computer screen suddenly changed.
"Go in. This is the hotel's server. I'll look for where the video surveillance system is."
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yun said as he walked into the police command vehicle.
"Who are you?" a policeman asked.
"How do you talk?" Director Liu said to the police.
"Are you Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau?" Qiu Yun asked.
"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel. I am Liu Kaifeng."
"Hello, Comrade Director. I am Qiu Yun, staff officer of the Chinese Army's 'Shadow' Special Operations Brigade."
"Commander Qiu, welcome."
"What conditions did the terrorists put forward?" Qiu Yun asked.
"They want us to release a man named General Kararov." Xie Yao said.
"General Kararov." Qiu Yun was very confused and seemed to have never heard of this name. Qiu Yunxin said don't let Wang Chaoyang get it right. There is another hidden story in this matter.
"Have you ever arrested a man named Kararov?" Qiu Yun asked.
"No. I have never heard of such a person." Director Liu shook his head and said.
"In this way, you tell them, there is no gain without effort. We can't release their General Kararov unless he shows some sincerity." Qiu Yun said to Xie Yao.
"Okay." Xie Yao said.
Then Xie Yao started shouting.
"I'm going to make a call." Qiu Yun said to Director Liu.
Director Liu nodded. Qiu Yun got out of the car. He found a quiet place and called Sea Otter.
"Hey, I told you not to make this call if it wasn't an emergency. Why did you call me?" "Sea Otter" said.
"Let me ask you, have you arrested a man named Kararov?" Qiu Yun asked.
"This...is...we captured one of Kararov's men." "Sea Otter" said.
"I want this person's information." Qiu Yun said without any doubt.
"Why?" "Sea Otter" asked calmly.
"The lives of dozens of hostages here depend on Kararov's people. Tell me why," Qiu Yun said.
"I have no right to tell you the information. I can only tell you three things: first, Kararov is indeed in our hands; second, Kararov is very important; third, the terrorists came just for him." "Sea Otter" " said.
"I want some images. They might be useful in rescuing the hostages."
"I'll send it to your email later."
Qiu Yun hung up the phone directly and returned to the command vehicle.
"What's new?"
"My inside information shows that Kararov was captured by the National Security Agency. And these terrorists are here today for this person. Our previous street intelligence said that several terrorist leaders were meeting to plan an attack on Nanjiang City. Attack. That’s why they came to ambush. I didn’t expect that they were actually planning to take hostages and rescue Kararov,” Qiu Yun said.
"I see."
"It seems that we underestimated the number of terrorists this time. The information given by the intelligence department was not accurate at all." Qiu Yun said.
"They asked how to show sincerity."
"Damn, there are such idiotic terrorists." Qiu Yun said in a very glum tone.
Qiu Yunxin said, if these terrorists are really idiots, then they can just let them go.
"Tell them that as long as they release the hostages, we will release Kararov." Qiu Yun said.
"This does not comply with negotiation procedures." Xie Yao said.
"It doesn't matter. Just say that." Qiu Yun said.
Xie Yao looked at Director Liu with a worried look.
"That's it." The director said.
"yes."
Xie Yao then spread Qiu Yun's words.
After a while, there was a response from there.
"What did they say?" Qiu Yun said, looking at Xie Yao who was having a hard time holding back laughter.
"Haha. They said. They said: Do you think we are idiots? What else can we do to negotiate terms with you after we have released the hostages?"
"Pfft." Qiu Yun couldn't help laughing.
Director Liu also threw it away and couldn't help but laughed.
Then the entire command vehicle laughed.
"Okay, tell them not to harm the hostages. This is our principle for further negotiations." Qiu Yun said.
"I told them a long time ago." Xie Yao said.
"Okay. Discuss with them first and see if we can release the women and children."
"Okay." Xie Yao said.
In fact, Qiu Yun never thought about resolving the matter through negotiation. After all, these are terrorists, not hijackers. It is different. But if some hostages can be released, it will always be helpful to the attack.
…
"No. I can't find the video surveillance system. And I found that the registered address of this server is not in the hotel. This should be a public server. It is rented by the hotel." Li Jialing said to Wang Chaoyang after working for a long time.
"There must be other servers. Otherwise, what would they use for their video surveillance system?" Wenjie said.
"I know this. They must have a separate server. We have to find this thing."
"Qiu Yun, do you have any information about the hotel?" Wang Chaoyang asked.
"have."
"We need construction drawings to be uploaded to our computer," Wang Chaoyang said.
"I know." Qiu Yun said.
Soon, many design drawings of the hotel were transferred to Wenjie's computer.
The special software on Wenjie's computer immediately analyzed these design drawings drawn from different angles and formed a three-dimensional structural diagram.
"Let's analyze it together. Where will the server be?" Wenjie said.
"Where do you think it is?" Wang Chaoyang asked.
"Since they want to set up an independent server, they must control all key parts. I just looked at it. Their external server can only support official website, room reservation, room service call and other services. Control elevators, video surveillance, electricity, etc. Fire doors and so on are not enough," Li Jialing said.
"That must be at the core and safest location." Wang Chaoyang said.
"How are we going to find this thing?" Wenjie asked.
"Do you have to find the server?" Wang Chaoyang asked.
"That's not true. As long as we can find a place to connect to the server," Wenjie said.
"Is the elevator OK?"
"Theoretically, it's okay," Li Jialing said.
"Look here. There is a warehouse in the hotel's underground warehouse with a freight elevator leading upstairs." Wang Chaoyang pointed at the picture and said.
"But this elevator is controlled by an electric motor. It can only go to the material department upstairs." Li Jialing said.
"Listen to me. As long as we can get to the Materials Department, there is an elevator opposite the Materials Department. Just get in," Wang Chaoyang said.
"It's a good idea." Li Jialing said. "But how can we get to the warehouse."
"The sewer. The sewer can take us to the underground garage. There is a ventilation pipe in the administrator's office of the underground garage that can lead to the warehouse next door." Wang Chaoyang said. "We can just climb over."
"Okay. Let's do it." Li Jialing put away the computer and put it into the carrying bag on his back. He was ready to take action.
"Let's go, Sha Junlong, find a sewer." Wang Chaoyang said. "I'll mark the Beidou navigation."
After making preliminary preparations, the special forces put on gas masks and jumped into the sewer selected by Sha Junlong.
"Never take off the gas mask. I don't know if there is any poison underneath. Let's move in this direction. Turn on the tactical lights. Sha Junlong will open the way." Wang Chaoyang pointed to a pipe after identifying the direction.
As mentioned before, the sewers in Nanjiang City were designed by Americans. They are very wide.
…
"Report."
A shout came from outside the command vehicle.
Qiu Yun and Director Liu looked out at the same time. A special forces soldier was standing at the door.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yun asked.
"The captain is here."
"Captain, please come here." Qiu Yun said to the special forces after obtaining Director Liu's consent.
"Yes." The special forces soldier saluted and ran away.
