Chapter 168 Don't be stupid
The smoke bomb rolled on the ground, smoky smoke, and the whole bank hall was soon filled with smoke.
The sudden situation made the scene suddenly chaotic.
When many people saw an adventurous thing suddenly rolling over under their feet, they were suddenly scared and jumped, thinking it was a bomb. After hearing the robber's words, I felt a little relieved.
There were a lot of robbers, a total of 11 people, who soon occupied all the key places. Seeing the weapons in the hands of the robbers, many people immediately lay on the ground according to the other party's requirements.
And some people's psychological quality was not good. Suddenly, they encountered this situation. In panic, they screamed and ran around. As a result, they were immediately chased by the robbers and hit them directly on the ground.
Those bank staff, who were very close to the alarm bell, were also pointed at by the bandits at the first time and did not dare to move easily. The scene was quickly controlled by the robbers and did not have time to call the police.
The strong pungent smoke was sucked into the nose, and many people covered their mouths and coughed violently.
At this time, Mu Sitong and Zhang Wei in the VIP room hugged each other and came out under the escort of the robber's machine gun, and then lay in a corner. Lin Hong noticed that Mu Sitong buried his head in Zhang Wei's arms from beginning to end. After coming out, he lay on the ground and did not look up randomly.
At the same time, through some confused disgust, Lin Hong also saw Matthew and Arthur obediently clinging to the ground not far away. Matthew was muttering something and trembling slightly all over. Arthur was also looking for Lin Hong. Seeing Lin Hong, he had to say hello to him.
Everyone was fine, and Lin Hong was immediately relieved.
The robbers moved quickly. They had a clear division of labor and were well trained. After controlling the whole scene, they began to do their own things.
One piece of unknown electronic equipment was taken out of the box. Because they pretended to be decoration personnel before, they even pushed several cars in, which contained a lot of things.
Some pointed a gun at the security guard in charge of the vault door and forced the other party to open the vault door; some picked up one of the fifty or sixty-year-old old men who were lying on the ground and forced them to ask about the bank's security access control system.
Lin Hong's hearing was very good, and the surroundings were quiet at this moment, and he heard their conversation clearly.
This bank has a very advanced security access control system, which uses computer control. In case of any emergency, as long as the special person in charge quickly enters the password in a computer, the access control system can be started immediately, and the whole bank will be automatically closed immediately, and no one can enter. Can come out.
Obviously, these robbers had already known the situation of the whole bank and knew who to find and what to do.
"You, start the security access control system immediately!" The robber shouted loudly.
"This..." The bald old man's name is Fraul, who is a bank manager. He feels a little strange in the face of the robber's request, because after the security access control system is activated, he has no password to open, that is to say, these bandits can't get out by themselves. He was worried that the bandits would not know the situation. If the bandits finally found out the situation, they were likely to kill people and vent their anger.
So he reminded: "This is a completely closed access control system. Once started, I didn't remove permission. Are you sure you want to start?"
"Less talk, hurry up!" The other party didn't care about it at all, just urged him to start the access control immediately.
"Bow!"
At this moment, a loud gunshot suddenly shocked many people all over, accompanied by countless screams.
"Shut up!"
"All be honest with me!"
Other robbers immediately shouted one after another, suppressing the chaotic scene.
"What's going on?"
The robber who first entered the bank immediately ran to the counter and asked the robber who shot. It seemed that he seemed to be the boss of these people, because Lin Hong noticed that since the robbery began, he was in charge of the overall command and dispatch.
"This bastard wants to ring the alarm!" The very tall robber replied angrily.
"BULLSHIT!"
The robber boss scolded loudly, "Won't you warn in advance before shooting again?"
He doesn't care whether they are dead or not. The problem is that the huge sound of gunfire is likely to attract the attention of people outside, so they quickly attract [police] to inspect, so they have to shorten their work time.
"I...I forgot."
The robber boss scolded a few more words such as "stupid", and then saw that the bank staff on the ground did not die at this moment. He was wailing and couldn't help but be upset and said, "In addition, since he shot, just aim at me a little!"
"Bow!"
The robber boss raised the pistol in his hand, gave a shot to the injured staff on the ground, and the wailing immediately stopped.
The people present were completely frightened. Only then did they realize that these robbers did not seem to care about the life or death of the hostages at all. Killing people was as common as killing chickens. A great sense of fear suddenly enveloped the whole body. They felt that their hands and feet suddenly became stiff, and some silver that were still The staff no longer have any thoughts at this moment.
"You..."
Phylise beside Lin Hong raised her head at this time to say something, but as soon as she said a word, she was covered by Lin Hong.
"Shut up, you're crazy!"
Lin Hong pulled down his raised body and whispered in her ear, "Don't be stupid. Don't you want to live?"
"They... How can they kill people indiscriminately, and why do they kill bank employees? What's the benefit of this for them?
Felice really can't understand. If you rob the bank, just rob the bank. After robbed, just take the money and leave.
"Benefits?"
When Lin Hong heard this, he immediately understood that the girl was still looking at their behavior from the perspective of economics. Indeed, robbing money and killing are completely different things. If you can successfully take the money without hurting anyone, it is obviously more in line with the basic theory of economics, but how can this theory be measured by this theory?
Lin Hong quickly whispered, "Now this situation is not an economic problem at all. In a state of high mental tension, anything unreasonable can happen. Don't be stupid! If you stimulate them, you can do anything.
Felice was slightly stunned and nodded involuntarily. Her behavior just now was indeed too naive and naive to argue with the robbers.
"Thank you. I'm Phylce. What's your name?"
"Shut up!"
At this time, the robber's boss heard someone whispering, roared loudly, and looked back and forth between the crowd.
This situation should be avoided as much as possible to prevent accidents from colluding. He said harshly, "Whoever talks again, I will kill him!"
While talking, the bank manager, Furauer, had been pointed at the security operation room by a gun, entered the password in the computer, and then started the entire security access control system.
Slumens, with the sound of Kazkaz, all possible exits, windows and vents of the whole bank lowered thick metal alloy doors. The bank has become an indestructible cage, trapping everyone in it, including a total of 11 robbers.
Soon, the Manhattan District [Police] Inspection Bureau immediately received an alarm from the police officer, saying that a passer-by reported that there was smoke and gunfire from the Manhattan Trust Bank at No. 19 Trading Street, and then the whole bank was suddenly closed. There was a situation.
Immediately after that, the headquarters of the trust bank also called to inform them that they had lost contact at the branch at 19 Trading Street, the camera was damaged, and the security access control system was suddenly shut down without instructions, which was likely to be robbed.
[Police] The emergency plan of the Inspection Bureau for bank robbery was immediately launched, and personnel from all aspects were urgently mobilized. Detectives, special police, snipers, negotiators... began to take action one after another.
In addition, the news of the robbery of the Manhattan Trust Bank spread quickly like wings. Reporters from major news media heard the news and quickly rushed to the scene of the accident while interrupting the report.
The office of the president of the Morgan consortium headquarters in Building 23 Wall Street.
President Collins Morgan was standing quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the cigar in his hand was slowly burning, with a trace of smoke circling.
The man, who can make the whole world shake with a sneeze, looked deep at the bustling street scene of Wall Street outside the window, and didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, his door was knocked, disturbing his mind.
"Please come in."
As soon as his voice fell, the door was gently opened, and his assistant came in.
"President, we have a branch that has closed the case."
Koslin was slightly stunned and turned around: "Oh, God. When did it happen?"
"Just now."
"Has anyone been hurt?"
"So far, the situation is not clear. The bank has activated the security access control system at this moment, and the camera has also failed. I don't know what's going on at all. However, there are hostages in it.
Koslin frowned slightly: "That's really bad news. Which bank?
"19 Trading Street, less than two kilometers from here."
"Where?"
"19 Trading Street, the New York police have taken over the matter."
"19 Trading Street..." Koslin muttered, "Where is my daughter Phylise now?"
If I remember correctly, Kosling remembered that Phylized told him this morning that she was going to the trust bank at 19 Trading Street to inspect the situation today.
Assistant Catherine hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no news from Phylise. Maybe... is also among the hostages."
Koslin picked up the cigar and took a deep breath, went to his desk and pressed it into the ashtray. Then he went to the hanger next to him, took off the black windbreaker and hat on it, and said, "Go and have a look."
