Five hours later, the police released a press conference, and Downer explained the basic situation at the press conference. The counter-terrorism office received a tip-off and made arrangements for the football field, successfully preventing the attack in the football field. However, due to time constraints and other factors, it was impossible to check the ambulance vehicles in time. It can be known from law enforcement video and surveillance that the SWAT team prevented the ambulance carrying the bomb from rushing towards the crowd to avoid greater casualties. At present, 15 people are known to have died and more than 100 people were injured. The possibility of a further increase in the death toll cannot be ruled out.
Downer released another set of news. After the explosion, London has arrested two suspects and killed one suspect. The Italian restaurant standoff continues. An hour ago, twelve employees and five restaurant customers took the opportunity to escape from the restaurant, confirming that 20 hostages, including the royal sisters, remained in the restaurant.
This is also what Liang Xi considered before. Six gangsters can take a hundred hostages, because they can change shifts, sleep, go to the toilet, and eat. But it was difficult for three gangsters to hold forty hostages. According to the instructions of the escaped hostages, the gangsters only had a bomb vest, which they put on for Rose. Rose sat on a chair and was tightly bound with rope.
The escaped hostages described the situation at the scene. The gangsters didn't seem to have thought about the situation. A girl wanted to drink water, and one of the gangsters didn't know whether to give it or not. At present, the criminals have not taken the initiative to kill people, which may be due to the 24-hour ultimatum given by the criminals. Before Downer contacted the gangsters, he could negotiate with the Minister of Defense to release the target person, but the condition was that the gangsters would not harm the hostages.
Liang Xi believed that the three gangsters were attacking martyrs, and they had no intention of taking hostages to blackmail Britain. It just happened to be discovered that two members of the royal family had other ideas temporarily.
According to the instructions of the escaped hostages, the criminals had only ordinary pistols as their weapons. However, the hostages could not explain the detonating device, only saying that the leader of the gangster held something similar to a remote control in his left hand. The police asked whether they had it or held it, and everyone had different opinions. If you hold it, you can kill it directly. If you hold it, once you kill the gangster, the gangster will explode if you let go. But can the gangster hold on to it for 24 hours? Conversely, the gangsters had no intention of holding hostages for 24 hours.
Good news came from Bobby's side. Roger, the director of the Anti-Terrorism Office, went to the blade to get Niri back, and got the judge's approval to grant Niri a refugee status. Bobby let Daisy watch the arrangement. Anyway, at least the promise was fulfilled
The next day, the stadium explosion became global news. A TV station received video data, and Shengqi claimed responsibility for the attack. And urged the United Kingdom to release the people on the list immediately, otherwise two members of the royal family will be executed. At this time, there are still 12 hours before the gangster's 24-hour ultimatum.
Liang Xi didn't pay attention to this matter, and Liang Xi casually looked at the information sent by Liu Zhen, but didn't provide any constructive suggestions. Dao Feng found the parents of a gangster, but Liu Zhen didn't know how to operate it. Although there was no loss of personnel from the counter-terrorism office in the stadium operation last night, many people were injured. Roger applied for a temporary leave from the department on the grounds of psychological adjustment after the action. He didn't want to grab the last straw of the blade. Daofeng has no way out now, he must take down the terrorist position of the restaurant and ensure the safety of all hostages.
Roger's reasons were not entirely fabricated. Last night, the SWAT team supporting the Anti-Terrorism Office was an old acquaintance of the Anti-Terrorism Office. Six of the twelve members were assigned to the South Gate, and all six of them died in the line of duty. The counterterrorism office, which understands how things went and how it turned out, wasn't happy about stopping the stadium attack. Coupled with the fact that many people in the department were injured, the atmosphere inside the team was rather depressing
Seven hours before the culprit's ultimatum, the TV broadcasted the release of many terrorists held in Middle Eastern prisons in the United Kingdom. Blade asked the gangsters to show sincerity by releasing half of the hostages before Blade could release the last three bosses.
The gangsters who watched the TV news agreed to Daofeng's conditions. When the gangsters released the hostages at the main entrance, Daofeng took advantage of the lack of staff and focused on the front door to attack from the back door. Quickly kill all three with suppressed pistols from behind. Every time a person is killed, someone will step forward to hug the corpse, first to avoid alarming other gangsters, and second, to prevent the corpse from having a remote-controlled detonation device in its hand. In this way, the blade successfully captured the Italian restaurant with fake news, killed all the gangsters, and rescued most of the hostages including the royal sisters. The reason why most of them are said is that after killing the gangster, the police rushed into the control scene and soon found a hostage with a steak knife stuck in his back, bleeding profusely. The ambulance personnel judged that the hostage had died. die.
Officials have yet to comment on the dead hostages, but the media basically agrees that this was a very successful rescue. The royal sisters were interviewed at the scene and expressed their gratitude to the blade in front of the camera, hoping everyone is safe.
"Propaganda means, or tricks of politicians." Karin?There are still 48 hours left, Liang Xi has not received any calls, maybe the matter has been resolved, which somewhat disappoints Liang Xi. He especially hoped that the Orphan Association and the Kefu family would bite the dog, and he would not be sad whoever died or hurt him.
Because of Bobby's mother's birthday, Bobby went back two days early. Liang Xi didn't stay long, booked a plane ticket, and went to the airport by himself with a little luggage to board the plane. I bought a gift while waiting at the airport, and I just received a call from Baker. They will return to China in a week, and the gift will be prepared first. As long as it is not a common item in London, it shows that I have spent a lot of time choosing it. It doesn't matter what the gift is, what matters is that it is rare in London.
After waiting at the airport for a while, Liang Xi changed his mind and booked a flight to Sweden instead. Go and see Mordo, who is terminally ill and dying soon. This is the advantage of being a bachelor, you can go wherever you want
Sweden is an interesting country, with a population density of 150 people per square kilometer in the south and center of Sweden, and only three people per square kilometer in the high altitudes and high latitudes of the north.
Modo lives in the north of Sweden, only 80 kilometers away from Finland. He has a large piece of private land. The land includes a forest, a lake, and a coastline. In this land, there is a famous canned herring raw material processing factory, that is, a processing factory of pickled herring. Canned herring is similar to stinky tofu. It smells stinky and tastes stinky, and once you taste it, you can't put it down.
In addition to the processing plant, there is also a lumber field, with a plantation forest on one side and a logging forest on the other. There is also a pasture.
None of the three factories belong to Modo. Modo leases its land to businessmen at a low price for a small amount of money, on condition that it does not damage ecological resources and cleans up. The three factories support a team of 20 community policemen who monitor environmental pollution, control wild animals, and search and rescue work on a daily basis. Mordo is the king of this land.
The security guard of Modo's manor who received Liang Xi told Liang Xi that Modo had the hereditary title of Earl of Sweden, and this land was the fiefdom of their ancestors. Modo is not good at management, and the land affairs are all handled by the housekeeper. Modo has seven children, four girls and three boys. Modo's oldest great-grandson is now ten years old.
The car walked on the mountain road for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the Modo Manor by the lake. Liang Xi stopped the car, got out of the car and looked around, thinking that this was the real manor. On the edge of the forest not far from the manor, there are more than a dozen horses grazing and galloping freely, and wooden houses that look rough in appearance are scattered around. The shepherd dogs chased the flocks, the women wore headscarves and milked cows in the cowshed, and there was smoke in each house. The whole manor was dotted across the land like a small village.
The butler greeted him at the gate of the main manor. After the introduction, he specifically explained that Earl Modo was in poor health. The weather was relatively cold today, and the doctor did not recommend too many outdoor activities. At the same time, he said that Earl Modo was very happy about Liang Xi's visit.
Modo waited in the reception room on the second floor. After seeing Liang Xi, he happily stepped forward to shake hands with Liang Xi. The housekeeper guided them to sit by the fire intentionally or unintentionally. Modo smiled at this, and explained to Liang Xi that he had been weak due to the side effects of the medicine these days. The little girl and the maid brought tea and complained casually, saying that she had been running a high fever since returning from London, and she could only get out of bed the day before yesterday.
Modo laughed and told the little girl to leave, but the little girl sighed helplessly.
Liang Xi told Modo that he happened to be transiting in Sweden when he returned to London, and he would leave tomorrow morning without too much disturbance. Modo accused Liang Xi of lying. He said that he might not be able to tame the wild horse anymore, but he could still use his brain. Modo guessed part of Liang Xi's intention. After Liang Xi explained all the situation, Modo found that his mind might be too busy.
Liang Xi frankly explained to Modo a series of situations about John, the Orphan Society, the Dark Society, Davis, and Mr. X. In some cases, Modo has heard about it, in some cases, Modo has studied it specially, and in some cases, Modo has heard of it for the first time.
The situation is too big, Liang Xi can't handle it alone, he needs someone to analyze everything with him. For the people Liang Xi knew, Modo was the most suitable. One reason is that Modo is the most objective, and there is no interest for all parties. One reason is that Modo is a dying person with status and pride. One reason is that Modo has a lot of experience and experience. Of course, the most important thing is Modo's strong in-depth analysis ability.
