I want to send you red roses

When Meng Xianshu arrived, many parents and media had already gathered outside the cordon at the foot of the mountain. No one knew about the above situation, and the police did not disclose any motives of the bus driver for committing the crime, so some reporters were ready to move and wanted to To interview those anxiously waiting parents.

The driver and camera in the driver's seat didn't move, Meng Xianshu also sat in the car and didn't speak, Cheng Sheng didn't know what was going on, looked outside, and hesitantly called out: "Mr. Meng? We... don't Do you want to go down and shoot?"

Meng Xianshu's expression was not very good, he didn't look at the media reporters who came with him at all, but paid attention to the police's dispatch, and said solemnly: "If you don't shoot, those parents don't know anything, and the media's inquiries will only make them more anxious."

Cheng Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again.In the past month that she has been with Meng Xianshu, although she sometimes feels that her way of doing things is against the spirit of the journalist profession, she always feels that what she said is indeed very reasonable.

At this moment, Cheng Yong's wife arrived. Although she quickly entered the cordon under the police's support, when Meng Xianshu saw her flashing profile, she suddenly thought of today's vicious kidnapping case. possible reasons.

Cheng Sheng was also taken aback for a moment, and murmured, "That's not..."

"Don't talk." Meng Xianshu reminded her aloud, his eyes swept across the nearby colleagues and another car that just arrived, and the person who got out of the car was Song Duan who rushed to the scene after the police's request for assistance.

The flashlights of the media shot violently again, but most of them didn't know Song Duan's identity. A microphone quickly poked her in front of her, wanting to interview her urgently, but Song Duan said without raising his eyes: "Let's open."

The reporter who poked the microphone in front of her probably didn't expect her tone to be so aggressive for a moment, and Song Duan raised his hand involuntarily after being stunned for a moment, pushed her "politely" aside and walked into the cordon.

At the same time, the captain of the criminal investigation pressed the headset and received further details about Cheng Yong. His brows suddenly frowned: "Cheng Yong reported the case in the area four days ago, saying that he was defrauded?" After being quiet for a while, he asked, "Report the specific situation."

The technician on the other side of the headset quickly said: "It's the change of Dihua's student status system this year. Cheng Yong's two daughters who have reached school age do not meet the student status requirements and cannot sign up. Then there are people like scalpers who falsely claim that they have means to get student status. Because of this, Cheng Yong was cheated of 30 yuan."

"Has the case been solved?"

"This scammer should be a veteran and very cautious. They also use cash transactions, so there is no..."

The captain of the criminal investigation turned off the headset before he finished listening, what is the matter!He touched the cigarette in his pocket, and just turned his head, the commissioner had already walked over with Cheng Yong's wife.

The commissioner is also an apprentice of a negotiator expert, who focuses on criminal psychology. He has already been responsible for a quick communication with Jiang Xiumin on the way up.The captain of the criminal investigation hesitated for no reason, and after confirming with the commissioner several times, he finally confirmed with Jiang Xiumin solemnly: "The situation is very urgent, but it can be recovered, so we are willing to try a little way, please."

Jiang Xiumin's face was very haggard, and she couldn't even raise her head because her husband had done such a thing. She nodded repeatedly when she heard the captain of the criminal investigation: "I know, I know..."

The captain of the criminal investigation felt a little relieved, took his scrutiny back from her face, and used the communicator to remind the negotiator above: "The criminal's wife has arrived, please pay attention to cooperation, remind again, please pay attention to cooperation."

Before Jiang Xiumin walked up from the back slope, she suddenly glanced at the captain of the criminal investigation. The word "criminal" he said just now was like the tip of a knife scraping her eardrums, making people suddenly a little dazed, as if she didn't know why I came here suddenly, and I don't know why things turned out like this...

"Deputy Song, wait a moment, we will let you go up in the worst case." At this time, the captain of the criminal investigation did not pay attention to Jiang Xiumin, but immediately went to Song Duan who had been there for a few minutes, and confirmed the situation with her in detail, and finally Repeat: "Our negotiator assesses that the criminal's current mental state is very unstable. Once he notices that someone is approaching quietly, it is very likely to induce irreversible extreme impulsive behavior, which may hurt the hostages, and may also take the entire bus with him. The car rolled down the cliff together.

Song Duan listened to his summary and emphasis in silence, while the other half of his mind was quietly watching the conversation between the negotiator above and Cheng Yong.

The captain of the criminal investigation said: "So the most important thing for you is not to try to get close. Be sure to stabilize the criminal's emotions. It is best to persuade, or you can make a deal according to the situation. As for the appropriate commitments made in this process, we will follow the process in detail afterwards. Discuss a solution."

Song Duan glanced at him suddenly, and said unabashedly: "Once there is any promise, it will be us, not you, that needs to be dealt with."

The captain of the criminal investigation was very solemn, and seemed a little angry: "I thought you knew that no matter what time, our police cannot compromise with criminals."

"Of course I know," Song Duan glanced away and didn't look at him, "so promise and compromise are the same. Once you do this, you are undoubtedly telling other potential criminals that things that cannot be done can still be solved in this way." method."

The captain of the criminal investigation suddenly stood up straighter, as if he was a little surprised by the person appointed by the Education Bureau.But at this moment, they heard Jiang Xiumin on the top of the mountain suddenly said loudly: "Father, if there is really no other way, at worst I will die with you..."

The scene was suddenly quiet for a second, and Cheng Yong suddenly lost control of his emotions and shouted: "Get out, get out, who told you to find her! Believe it or not, I will kill this teacher right now, do you believe it? Ah ?!... Hurry up and get the hell out of here..."

The captain of the criminal investigation yelled: "Hurry up and pull Jiang Xiumin down!"

"I want to see the people from the Education Bureau! Let the people from the Education Bureau come and tell me... There are also reporters, I want reporters... You all get out, get out!"

"Okay, okay..." The negotiator immediately comforted him, "We will arrange it right away, don't be impulsive, otherwise there will be no time for any request..."

Song Duan and the captain of the criminal investigation thought at the same time in Fanbeipo that Cheng Yong wanted the reporters to be present, no doubt because he wanted the hostage negotiation to be recorded and have a witness.In his eyes, the government would not be able to change or deny the terms of the compromise afterwards because of its credibility.

The captain of the criminal investigation immediately jumped into the car and drove towards the foot of the mountain.Song Duan did not move, leaning against a tree on the back slope, quietly listening to the conversation between the negotiator and Cheng Yong.

A lot of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the entire cordon was tightly surrounded, and the situation inside the car could no longer be seen. Cheng Sheng also jumped out of the car with Meng Xianshu, followed by Zhou Liuyun who carried the camera equipment but did not turn it on.

As a social field reporter in this city, it is necessary to be familiar with the captain of the criminal investigation team of the city bureau, so as soon as Liu Yiwei jumped out of the car, a bunch of reporters rushed over.

"Captain Liu, what's the situation at the scene now?"

"Captain Liu, I heard that a teacher has been stabbed to death, is it true?"

"Liu team, may I ask if the bus driver's wife and the Education Bureau are the ones who just went up..."

"No comment for the time being, everyone get out of the way, get out of the way!" Liu Yiwei tried his best to hold back his good temper, and after scanning around the pushing crowd, he suddenly looked at Meng Xianshu who was silent at the side: "Reporter Meng."

Everyone was stunned, and the scene was temporarily quiet for a moment. Liu Yiwei immediately went on to say, "I need your help now. Reporter Meng, please come with me."

Meng Xianshu was a little surprised. Although she was definitely familiar with Liu Yiwei, she didn't usually like to deal with these criminal cases, so she couldn't say how familiar she was with the captain, but she actually had some guesses in her heart when she was picked up so suddenly.

When she bent down to go in, Zhou Liuyun followed with the camera, but Meng Xianshu stopped him, and thoughtfully said: "Don't follow."

Liu Yiwei turned around and said, "No, follow along."

Meng Xianshu and Zhou Liuyun were stunned at the same time, and immediately got into the car at the same time, leaving a group of reporters and cameras behind them to look at each other.

On the way up the mountain, Team Liu explained the situation again, but it was a lot briefer, and he focused on telling Meng Xianshu and Zhou Liuyun, "It's fine for you to keep recording and filming by the side, and try not to talk, understand?"

Meng Xianshu looked out the window and hummed, Zhou Liuyun nodded.

The sky was getting darker and gloomy, but the light that was not too bright was still mottled and cast from among the forest leaves, casting hazy light and shadows on the faces and the ground.

The reunion on this occasion, I don't know whether to call it a coincidence or a real fate.

Song Duan's figure leaning against the tree didn't move, his eyes passed through many trees and quietly cast on Meng Xianshu's face, but Meng Xianshu didn't look at her for a long time, and after moving away, he said something to Zhou Liuyun next to him .

At this moment, no one was in the mood to gossip. When Cheng Yong's mood was about to reach the edge of rage, Song Duan took over as the negotiator. Meng Xianshu and Zhou Liuyun also set up shooting equipment not far away.

Cheng Yong cautiously flashed past different positions behind the curtain. He did not doubt Meng Xianshu's identity as a reporter, but confirmed to Song Duan: "Are you really from the Education Bureau?"

Song Duan only said briefly: "I saw you ten days ago, under the heather tree in front of the Education Committee, you were wearing a blue striped shirt and brown strappy sandals, holding a sign."

Meng Xianshu suddenly glanced at her.

Cheng Yong immediately dispelled his doubts, but before he could speak, Song Duan unexpectedly opened his mouth and said, "What do you want?"

The captain of the criminal investigation suddenly froze his expression and tightened his grip on the communicator.

In the negotiation, this kind of behavior obviously means that the initiative has been subtly handed over to the other party. Cheng Yong had been waiting for her to ask this question, so he was a little hesitant, trying to judge the other party's meaning and said: "I want my two daughters to be able to go to school today."

But Song Duan obviously didn't want to deliver food to him, so before Cheng Yong's voice fell completely, he said without hesitation: "That's impossible."

It's as if these two sentences are just passing a line, letting the other party know that there is no room for bargaining.

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and Cheng Yong's voice became sharp: "What do you mean, I don't care about this car..."

"It means that the registration is not so fast. At least you can go to school tomorrow, and it's impossible today." Song Duan said the most nonsensical words without changing his expression, but Cheng Yong was stunned.

"Then did you agree to my conditions?" He asked carefully, lest he would fall into the other party's trap.

"It's not that I agreed to your conditions, but that you already have the right to go to school, which is given to citizens by the government." Song Duan spoke slowly, watching the bus, "But I need to ensure the safety and security of the hostages first." The situation, there is room for discussion later, you can ask the teacher in the car to talk to me first to ensure that the children are safe now."

Cheng Yong didn't make a sound for a long time, and Song Duan immediately asked, "Is the teacher injured?"

The female teacher accompanying the car was injured. Cheng Yong stabbed her with the bayonet he had prepared at first, and then handcuffed her to the seat with the handcuffs he bought. At this moment, he must have lost a lot of blood.After all, adults are much more difficult to control than children, they cannot be intimidated, and he dare not take risks.

And the whole car was tightly covered, and people outside could not see what was going on inside.

Song Duan spoke again: "Let me emphasize again, before the matter develops to the point of being irreversible, as long as all the hostages are not actually harmed, there is room for change and negotiability, so ensure the safety of the hostages." Safety is very important, even if there is an accident with one of the hostages, otherwise there is no need for me to continue talking with you."

Perhaps her tone was too tough, Cheng Yong's anxiety increased sharply, he kicked the teacher who was in a trance due to excessive blood loss, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "How do you confirm?"

Song Duan's expression did not change, but his posture softened a little, as if he would accept it as soon as he saw it, and said with consideration: "Well, the car can't be out of balance now. There are two ways you can choose. First, you can Arbitrarily appoint someone to replace the injured female teacher, and stay in the car at the same time to check the child's condition at any time. Second, we will directly send a doctor there for temporary first aid, and we will try our best to choose a female doctor, so as not to pose a threat to you."

The captain of the criminal investigation immediately contacted the foot of the mountain through the communicator and selected a female doctor to come up.

But Cheng Yong suddenly said after thinking for a few seconds: "No, I don't choose your method, let her, let that female reporter bring the medicine box over, and simply bandage it first, or I will die!"

Song Duan was very surprised, which was beyond her expectation. In her original plan, Cheng Yong should have chosen to hold her hostage by the way and replace the female teacher.

She suddenly looked at Meng Xianshu, her expressionless face tightened almost imperceptibly.Cheng Yong is likely to have a knife and a murder weapon. No matter who it is, it is very dangerous to change it now.

Meng Xianshu didn't know why she was appointed, but after she calmed down for a moment, she threw away all the keys, pens and other sharp objects on her body, took the emergency medicine kit handed over by the police, and walked towards Cheng Yong.

Song Duan subconsciously stuffed the hands that had been kept outside into his pockets, and lightly touched each other.

"Go slowly!" Cheng Yong's face flashed under the sniper scope again, and then he quickly grabbed Meng Xianshu who was walking up to him, and pulled her to the front half of the car.Although the car body swayed a bit, the balance was still there.

The original bayonet came to Meng Xianshu's neck. She quickly glanced at the silent but healthy children in the car, then knelt down to stop the bleeding and replenish the balance solution for the female teacher.These are common first aid operations, which she learned carefully when she was doing an ambulance show.

There was a blood-stained rag under her feet. After Cheng Yong stabbed the teacher just now, he threw the glass-wiping rag to stop her bleeding.Meng Xianshu didn't look up, she folded the rag and placed it under the female teacher's wrist.

After confirming that no one was killed in the car for the time being, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but after there was an uncontrollable living person, Cheng Yong's nerves tensed up, and he immediately said: "It's okay now, hurry up! Looking at the camera to confirm, my daughter can go to school normally tomorrow."

"As I said, they already have this right, but those who commit crimes may be deprived of many rights." Song Duan still didn't say anything, "For example, this car may turn over at any time, so we I still can’t promise you directly, as long as their absolute safety is ensured, we can talk about anything.”

But something like this, Cheng Yong has been perfunctory thousands of times, maybe he has been to many departments, and people in many departments have perfunctory him like this.So he suddenly got Meng Xianshu up from the front of the seat, half of his body was stuffed outside the door, with a knife on his neck: "You are perfunctory? Talk to me about crime, right? Believe it or not, I will throw her out right now." ?! At worst, they all die with me, everyone dies together!!"

The car body suddenly trembled violently, and the situation took a turn for the worse.The captain of the criminal investigation pressed his finger firmly on the trigger, almost ordering the sniper to move.

But at this time, Song Duan, who was silent for two seconds, suddenly said, "What does your death have to do with me?"

The audience suddenly fell silent, and even Cheng Yong was stunned.

Song Duan added expressionlessly: "What does it matter to me if you are all dead? I just came here to help with a formality. Even if you are all dead, I won't even deduct a salary."

The entire cliff clearing was eerily silent, and even the howling of the autumn wind passing through the leaves was particularly ear-piercing.

Cheng Yong's expression was suddenly ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "I knew it, I knew you officials only care about your own comfort, you are the ones who deserve to die! You all deserve to die!!"

"Yes," Song Duan's expression on his face was like that of Wubo Gujing, "so you might as well hold me hostage, so as to be safe. Even if the matter is not resolved in the end, you can at least kill me to vent your anger. What's more, with me in hand , your request will be taken more seriously, and it will be more threatening."

Putting forward the condition of exchanging hostages with oneself is something any negotiator would try to do, but the expert just now obviously failed.

But this time, Cheng Yong fell into a fierce struggle, because he realized that even with the presence of the media, these shameless high-ranking officials could go back on their word, so hijacking them is the most effective way.

As Song Duan said, at worst, he could drag such a damned person behind him before he died.

Song Duan detected his very subtle emotional changes, and suddenly seemed to sigh, and said nonsense without changing his face: "I am also a person with children, so I will be soft-hearted." She thought very calmly, and said casually Said: "Be empathetic." She subtly shifted to the gender field that the bus driver is not familiar with, "Women are prone to have this kind of mentality, but men are random, so you should be glad that I happened to be talking to you today. "

Cheng Yong still hesitated, his gaze was like a hedgehog, probing her cautiously and substantively.

Song Duan said frankly again: "It's possible to settle the matter once and for all, but there is obviously a better solution to this matter. But now, it all depends on your own choice."

There is a thing in psychology called the group responsibility effect. For example, what Cheng Yong did today, he would give himself a psychological hint that he was forced to take this road.That is to say, he will be like this, and it is completely the responsibility of the whole society to persecute him.

For example, the poor and backward hometown that cannot survive, the big city where there is no place to stand no matter how hard you try, the old mother who is seriously ill and has no money for medical treatment, the daughter who pins all her hopes on studying to get ahead, and the city policy that cannot be satisfied. The scalpers who saved their lives... Maybe there was also the perfunctory and cold-eyed encounters when they had nowhere to turn for help. Every blade of grass was pressed tightly on them, and finally created this desperate self...

As for Song Duan's remarks, it is obvious that he has left all the responsibilities in the future to himself. Even if you can spare yourself and choose to die, the psychological pressure will be huge.

"Throw away everything on your body, turn your pocket over for me to see, and come over slowly!" Cheng Yong finally loosened his grip, and gave Song Duan an order with red eyes.

Song Duan threw away the lighter and cigarettes in his pocket, as well as a bunch of keys and a pack of wet tissues, and walked over slowly.

"Wait!" Cheng Yong suddenly shouted: "What is hanging around the neck? Take it off and throw it away?!"

Song Duan paused, slowly pulled the rope around his neck out, looked at him quietly, but seemed to pass through Meng Xianshu as well, "It's a ring given by someone I like, it can't be thrown away, I don't think it's necessary , you judge."

Meng Xianshu, who had been quietly held by Cheng Yong against his neck with a knife, suddenly closed his eyes, his expression fluctuating for a moment.

Cheng Yong's eyes also fell on it. After hesitating for a while, he said nothing. Song Duan continued to approach step by step after getting his tacit approval.

At the same time, the criminal investigation team leader at the bottom whispered into the headset, "Let Director Lu and Cheng Yong's mother come up."

Perhaps Song Duan wanted to make Cheng Yong relax, or maybe it was to delay time. He walked very slowly, and slowly moved to the front of the car door. After seeing Cheng Yong's face and half of his body, he suddenly said: "Are you actually It’s not the criminals who are desperate, those terrorists tend to push their feet, and people like you have clear demands, and you even promised your children in the morning to take them to Dexter’s ice cream fast food in the afternoon.”

Cheng Yong was suddenly startled, turned a deaf ear to her first half of the sentence, and just asked, "How do you know?"

He was very vigilant, the knife in his hand was pressed tightly against Meng Xian's Shu artery, so he had no chance to do anything, so he could only wait for the opportunity to chat.

"I can tell by your face." Song Duan made a laugh and a sneer that he is not good at, but she may be too plastic, and it looks a bit sarcastic, but she really didn't mean that, so she had to use words He added: "Because you are indeed not a vicious person. In the years before your life, you have never thought of committing a crime or hurting others, and you have never done that, not once."

After Cheng Yong's complexion suddenly changed a few times, he cleared himself up and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, you now..."

"Dayong..." At this moment, an old and old voice suddenly sounded.

Cheng Yong's face changed drastically, and the veins on his forehead burst out suddenly.Song Duan's eyes had moved from his face to the tip of the knife on Meng Xianshu's neck calmly, and his wrist was tense, waiting to strike at any time.

Cheng Yong's mother, this old man suffering from advanced lung cancer, didn't say anything superfluous, didn't say any great truths, just walked out from behind Fendai Huahai silently, and resolutely arrived at her with the same knife. On his neck, the voice was very sad and weak: "Dayong, do you really know what you are doing... Grandma didn't teach you the truth, but she didn't teach you to kill people either. Our family has been farmers for generations. I can't afford to bear such a crime... Dayong, you really have lost your mind, don't you even understand these things..."

According to Duan Tingxi's prophecy, Lin Xiling stopped Lu Qinhe at the foot of the mountain and brought Cheng Yong's mother up together.In the same way as Duan Tingxi's Prophet, Cheng Yong's mother took out the real fruit knife she hid privately from her waist, and replaced it with a very realistic prop.

So although it might not be good to keep this kind of thing from Cheng Yong's mother, but it is selfish for Duan Tingxi to invite her as a last resort.

It's just that there is no sign of Yu Tang on the cliff at this moment, and no one knows where Duan Tingxi has gone, only the strong wind is whistling.

Cheng Yong's emotions suddenly reached the verge of collapse, his whole hand trembled, but he still stabbed Meng Xianshu firmly, "Why, why are you all pushing me...why are you all pushing me...ah!!!"

Cheng Yong's mother suddenly knelt down on her knees, threw a prop knife, and slammed her head on the ground in the direction of the whole car. The blood on her forehead flowed down with the tears, "I can't tell you... Grandma can't talk to you anymore...I'm guilty too, I'm guilty...more than 20 lives, I can't afford it in a few lifetimes..."

Cheng Yong completely collapsed, looking in the direction of the old mother, tears poured out by himself, shaking his head violently, his hands shaking unbearably.

No one knows what he will choose in the next moment.

So Meng Xianshu's eyes and Song Duan's figure moved at the same time, it's now!

Heavy raindrops fell, and there was a sharp sound of wind passing by his ears. For a moment of trance, the knife in Cheng Yong's hand was picked up by Song Duan, and he subconsciously led Meng Xianshu out of the carriage!

click!

After a soft sound that passed through everyone's eardrums, the whole car lost its balance and rolled down the cliff!

At the same time, the figure of Yu Tang who was close at hand jumped up, reached the bus without hesitation and jumped off the cliff together.
