My wife is a queen

  With so many media watching outside, if a public security officer or high-ranking official goes in, those reporters will write down their heroic deeds.

  But!

  Satisfying the demands of bandits with the life of an ordinary person, not to mention that the police do not have the power to do so. Even if they forcibly send someone in, will this case be completely solved? These people will also be scolded by the media and may even end up in a more miserable situation.

  The lives of hostages in the hospital are at stake, is the owner of that bar not human?

  Who has the right to decide the life and death of an innocent person?

  Moreover, Huang Sanjiang's downfall is also related to this person. To a certain extent, he is still the hero who cracked the case. Now, however, they want to hand over such a person to be killed by criminals. On what grounds?

  "Director, Captain, something's wrong!"

  Just then, a detective rushed into the temporary command center: "Huang Sanjiang has become impatient and said that if his conditions are not met within ten minutes, he will kill one hostage every three minutes until all hostages are killed, and he wants to die together!"

  From Municipal Party Secretary Wang Xuebing downwards, everyone's face stiffened. Wu Changguo hastily asked: "Where are the SWAT team? Are they all in position? Have the sniper points been set up?"

  "It's no use."

  The detective shook his head, looking gloomy: "Firstly, there are over thirty criminals, we can't take out all the targets at once. Once we open fire, it's likely to provoke them and they'll kill the hostages ahead of time. Secondly, the opponent is extremely clever. Except for two people guarding the entrance on the first floor, others are scattered on each floor controlling the hostages, and windows and curtains are closed, so we can't see what's going on inside."

  If there were only three or five criminals, because the number was too small to control the entire floor, the police could completely take them out with snipers or sneak in through blind spots.

  However, there were too many of them, and it was impossible to take out all the bandits without harming the hostages.

  "How come that guy hasn't arrived yet?" Lin Ling gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

  "Who?"

  Wang Xuebing was taken aback. Previously, it was the municipal party committee leaders and the director of the public security bureau who were talking, so the identity of the criminal police team leader didn't count for much here, and he hadn't noticed Lin Ling.

  "Secretary Wang, time is running out. Shouldn't we first determine who will enter the hospital as a hostage?" Lin Ling's gaze swept across the municipal party committee leaders in front of him.

  Who's going?

  Although going doesn't necessarily mean death, not going definitely means nothing will happen. The people present are all high-ranking officials in Pingjiang City, and it's not easy to climb to their current positions. Who would be willing to joke with their own lives?

  The higher one's position, the more afraid of death.

  The poor have nothing to lose, they are desperate and dare to fight with you for their lives. The rich and officials, however, have too many things to hold on to: money, power, women, etc., etc.

  While they are alive, they can enjoy all these things and live a life of luxury. Once they die, everything is gone.

  "I'm going!"

  After a moment of deathly silence, a voice rang out, causing everyone to pause in unison.

  Vice Mayor Kong Haidong!

  As the vice mayor, his power is second only to the municipal party secretary and the mayor. With Pingjiang City's status in Yanhuang, he can be considered a high-ranking official with great power, which made Lin Ling look at him several more times.

  A person who can face death is a respectable person, let alone one with extremely high status?

  Kong Haodong looks very ordinary, nearly 50 years old, wearing a suit, about 1.7 meters tall, with a square face, nothing special, not ugly but not handsome either, in short, his appearance is very average, the biggest feature is that he has a pair of very big and bright eyes.

  With Lin Ling's sharp observation, she read out a word from those eyes - majestic justice.

  "Another condition we cannot agree to!"

  Wang Xuebing looked at Lin Ling, then glanced at his watch and said in a deep voice: "There are less than six minutes left until the deadline given by the bandits. Immediately contact Huang Sanjiang and tell him that the three conditions cannot be fully met. No matter what method is used, he must not kill the hostages!"

  Drip! Drip! Drip!

  Just then, Lin Ling's phone beeped with an incoming message. Director Wu Changguo furrowed his brow and growled, "Turn off the phone!"

  Lin Ling ignored his words and opened her phone to see a message, but the number displayed was blank, apparently blocked by some technical means.

  The content of the message is very simple, with just a few words: You can go in now.

  "Lin Ling!" Wu Changguo was somewhat annoyed at his subordinate's disobedience.

  "Perhaps..."

  Lin Ling vaguely felt some clues, but didn't dare to confirm or believe it was true. He then turned to the police officer making the report and said: "Little Wu, try to see if you can get in touch with Huang Sanjiang."

  Detective Xiao Wu is Lin Ling's direct subordinate and executes her orders immediately. Just as Xiao Wu had just left, another detective rushed in.

  "What's wrong?"

  "The inpatient department just suddenly lost power, and now people are running out, it seems like something happened inside!"

  "Damn it!"

  Lin Ling's face changed greatly, if what was said earlier was just a guess, then with this report coming in, she already had 70% faith.

  Of course, the police surrounding the hospital department did not know what happened. Seeing the hostages rushing out one by one, they were all frightened out of their wits.

  Suddenly the power went out and the hostages rushed out, there are two possibilities to imagine.

  One possibility is that the hostages were already under extreme psychological pressure, and when the power suddenly went out, their mental defenses collapsed, causing them to flee without regard for the captors' control. Conversely, the escape of the hostages would make the captors feel like they had lost their bargaining chips, and in a desperate bid to regain control, they might give chase and start killing indiscriminately.

  The second possibility is that the bandits also thought that the conditions they put forward were too harsh and the police would not agree, so they deliberately released all the hostages and tried to escape by disguising themselves and mixing with the crowd.

  No matter what possibility, the result is extremely frightening, especially the second possibility. These fully armed and heavily armed thugs mixed in with the hostages and rushed out, causing a more terrible impact than killing all the hostages in the hospital department. Because they are mixed in with the crowd, the police dare not open fire, but the thugs have no such scruples. At that time, the dead may not only be the hostages, but also the police waiting outside, journalists and onlookers.

  While a large number of hostages were rushing out, Lin Ling rushed alone towards the inpatient department building.

  "Captain! Come back quickly, you're crazy!"

  "Stop her!"

  "Don't let her go!"

  Unfortunately, Lin Ling's fleeing speed was too fast, and the police officers who chased after him could only barely keep up but couldn't stop him. In the end, they could only follow Lin Ling as he rushed into the hospital building.

  Less than ten minutes had passed since the power outage, just as Lin Ling and several police officers who were blocking her rushed into the first floor lobby, the hospital's backup power source was activated, and the pitch-black inpatient department building lit up again. The people standing in the lobby were stunned.

  Corpse!

  There were four corpses lying in the lobby on the first floor, one on each side of the gate and two inside. Each corpse was exactly the same: their expressions had not changed at all, and there were no signs of struggle.

  What does this mean?

  The killer's speed was too fast, and the bandit didn't have time to react or even realize someone was approaching before being killed.

  Several detectives following Lin Ling's back were pale-faced. As detectives, they could get a lot of information from the battlefield.

  Although it is already past 10pm, the entire inpatient department has been surrounded by police and a large number of searchlights are shining on it, with the aim of preventing thieves from escaping under cover of darkness.

  So many searchlights sweeping back and forth, how did this person get in?

  Yes, there is only one person!

  Because the method of killing each bandit is the same, the most absurd thing is that the four bandits in the first floor hall are not gathered together but scattered. In other words, even if the first person was attacked and had no time to react, the other three companions would also notice the movement.

  Even if the power was cut off at that time, there were still searchlights outside. Even without light, there would be sounds when people were killed. How could four bandits die without any signs of struggle?

  The injuries were exactly the same, all stabbed in the back of the head!

  Lin Ling crouched down beside the corpse and, after a preliminary examination, determined that there were no other injuries on the bandit's body except for the back of his head being stabbed through. The human skull is extremely hard, and the fact that it was stabbed through not only indicates that the weapon used by the killer was extremely hard and sharp, but also that the killer himself had an astonishing amount of strength.

  From the wound, it can be seen that it was a special dagger with a serrated design. The killer stabbed the dagger into the back of the bandit's head and then deliberately stirred it around.

  The wound was not a slit-like incision but an opening of a hole as thick as an egg, with brain pulp and fresh blood flowing out through the hole.

  Ugh...

  There was a newly joined detective who saw the wound of the thug and vomited on the spot.

  Lin Ling ignored his subordinate and led a few people to start searching from the first floor. As the search continued, several people felt more and more unbelievable.

  He's dead!

  They're all dead!

  Even Huang Sanjiang's body was lying in a hospital room on the 7th floor, along with his son Huang Xiaolong and the 14 gang members who were hospitalized with him at the time. In addition to the 34 bandits who came to the hospital, a total of 49 people were killed without exception, even their wounds were identical.

  One slash to the brain, instant death!

  The entire inpatient department found only 49 bodies, which means no hostages were injured!

  Such a result is undoubtedly the most perfect for the police, but Lin Ling and those subordinates couldn't get excited. When they saw the 49 corpses with consistent wounds, they only felt a chill in their hearts. Who on earth was this person? Or was he still human?

  Forty-nine people.

  More than 30 of them were armed with high-lethal weapons, such as the powerful AK-47. Yet this fully armed gang was killed without any resistance.

  "It's him! It must be him!"

  A figure flashed in Lin Ling's mind. She really couldn't think of anyone else who would lay hands on Huang Sanjiang except him, he was the only one with a motive for the crime.

  But...

  She also knew that she couldn't tell the truth to her superiors, because although he had a motive for the crime, he was just a bar owner, and even if he showed some skill, it couldn't prove that he could kill dozens of heavily armed thugs.

  As for that message, it's even more impossible, the phone number was technically blocked, she believed that since he did this, it would be unlikely to find out where the message came from.

  How many secrets is this guy hiding? Just how strong is he?
