Chapter 478 You Can’t Break Lin Yao’s Move!!!

After hearing Hanks' roll call, Jack's entire face suddenly darkened!

I wanted to give him the middle finger, and in my heart I greeted the eighteenth generation of Hanks' ancestors.

But he didn't dare to disobey the order. After thinking about it, he said to Hanks:

"Mr. Director, this matter is really too big."

"I really can't give you good advice. It's up to you to decide what I should do."

Several other people who were obviously from Jack's side said together:

"Yes, Mr. Director, what can we do about such a big matter?"

"We are just doing things. As long as you give an order, we will do it."

Of course Hanks would not take the blame alone. He immediately said:

"This time is a special situation. I can't take this responsibility. I can't bear it alone. Otherwise, I will be irresponsible!"

"So I invite you all to come over for a meeting today, which is to make collective decisions and vote collectively, which means collective responsibility."

Then he took out a stack of white paper from the drawer and said:

"Now we have a secret vote. The first option is to negotiate with the robbers. We can pay a ransom of 140 million to bring back our driver and the seven M-countrymen."

"The second option is to catch the robbers, bring them to justice, and rescue the hostages."

"Everyone must vote today. If there is a invalid vote or one person does not vote, it will be invalid. The 17 of us must make a collective decision."

After hearing what Hanks said, the senior police officers who attended the meeting cursed Hanks and his 18th-generation family members in their hearts.

But there was nothing they could do. You can only obey orders.

Afterwards, everyone present received a blank sheet and wrote down their choices.

After Hanks took back the blank sheets of paper and started counting votes, he was a little surprised by the final result.

Only three people chose the second option.

Including himself, 14 other people chose the first option.

That is to say, pay a ransom, negotiate with the gangsters, strive for the safe return of the hostages, and solve the problem peacefully.

The reason why Hanks chose to pay the ransom and resolve the matter peacefully was because he had already thought about which funds to embezzle.

Anyway, the money is not his own, so he doesn't feel bad about spending it.

If you have to choose to fight the robbers, catch them and rescue the hostages, it is more difficult than blasting to the moon.

Not to mention catching the robbers, we don’t know where the robbers are now, and we don’t know whether the hostages are dead or alive.

Where to catch it?

After gathering the white papers and handing them to the secretary and putting them in the filing cabinet, Hanks said slowly:

"Colleagues, the results have come out and everyone knows it. I will report it to Mr. Minato of our police department immediately. Collective decision."

"Jack, you are in charge of the operation. You should be the leader of the negotiation team to contact the robbers. They must be stabilized first and the hostages' lives must not be put in any danger."

"Right now, we haven't given an explanation to Country M, but we can't stop the fire. We will have to give them an explanation tomorrow at most."

Hearing what Hanks said, Jack said: "Yes, Mr. Director!"

At this time, Li Wenbin stood up and said to Hanks:

"Mr. Director, should we talk to the media about this first?"

"You just said something that I totally agree with. Paper cannot contain the fire. With the vast powers of Hong Kong reporters, they will know about this very soon."

"At that time, if they exaggerate their propaganda without consulting us, we will be very passive. It is better to be proactive than to be passive."

Hearing what Li Wenbin said, Hanks was silent for a few seconds, and then said:

"Absolutely not, this matter is top secret."

"Besides the 17 of us on site, there are other people who know about this."

"If we remember to reveal these personnel matters tomorrow, everyone present will be investigated, including me!"

"I have already made a guarantee to Mr. Governor of Hong Kong in this regard, guaranteeing that the secret will never be leaked. Can you do it?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone responded in unison: "Yes sir!"

Hankison knew that if reporters from Hong Kong knew about this matter, they would definitely publicize it.

In order to prevent chaos in the world, fiction and exaggeration are inevitable.

More importantly, this is a big scandal in the police department, and the first person responsible is Hanks.

When he resigns before taking office for 100 days, he will create the history of the Hong Kong Island Police and a history of scandal!

Therefore, Hanks was not allowed to proactively report the incident to reporters. Instead, he would negotiate with the robbers as quickly as possible and get the hostages back as soon as possible.

At that time, he will take the initiative to hold a press conference, and he will introduce the case at the press conference.

By that time, not only will I not be at risk of resigning, but I will also be able to achieve success. That is the real initiative.

If the reporters now know what happened, then he won't be able to do anything else.

You will be chased and intercepted by reporters every day, the phone calls will be answered non-stop, and the pressure will come one after another.

"Yes, Mr. Director, your decision is a wise one." Li Wenbin nodded.

But no one noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this moment.

Because of Hanks' decision, he has jumped into the pit dug by Lin Yao.

Then Hanks announced that he had chosen two deputy directors and two assistant directors to go to his office to continue the discussion, and the others dispersed.

Li Wenbin and Yang Jinrong came to the Confidential Section of the Police Station to find Xu Yunrong.

"Old Xu, what do you think about this matter?" Li Wenbin asked Xu Yunrong.

Xu Yunrong didn't answer but went outside to check. After seeing that no one was there, he came back and closed the door before saying:

"Lao Li, Lao Yang, this matter has nothing to do with our confidential department, and I don't know what to say."

"Then how long do you think it will take for reporters to know about this matter? They will know it sooner or later anyway." Li Wenbin continued to ask.

Xu Yunrong looked at Li Wenbin and said, "Old Li, who will reveal the news to the media? There are more than a dozen people present. How do you want me to guess?"

"Besides, we are not the only ones who know about this matter. If Mr. Hong Kong Governor knows about it, then a group of people under him will also know about it!"

"We don't know how many people participating in the exercise know, so we can't judge at all."

Hearing what Xu Yunrong said, Li Wenbin smiled and said:

"Old Xu, you are right."

"Indeed, this matter is very difficult to judge."

Then, Li Wenbin and Yang Jinrong left the confidential area.

Li Wenbin said softly to Yang Jinrong outside: "Old Yang, it seems that Xu Yunrong is still too cautious, and he needs to test it out in the next step."

"Well, don't worry, Wen Bin, we have the initiative now!!" Yang Jinrong also said softly.

…

other side.

In Hanks' office.

Hanks, Jack, Foxon, and two other ghost guys formed a core group of five people to build a framework for the next negotiations with the robbers.

After all, negotiations will never be accomplished overnight, there will definitely be twists and turns, and all plans may not work out, so you have to adapt at any time.

Just then.

The police officers came outside to report that the robbers had called again.

But the people in the technical department couldn't find out where the call came from using the most advanced technology in the world.

The frequency band cannot be captured at all.

Jack was about to answer the phone when Hanks said: "Jack, let the operator put the call here."

"Okay, Mr. Director!"

Soon, Jack picked up the phone and heard the voice of a man on the other side of the phone who had obviously used the latest technology to change his voice.

"Have you made a decision? Let Police Chief Hanks answer the phone himself!"

After Hanks finished listening, he winked at the people in the technical department next to him.

That is to ask them to use technical means again to identify where the satellite phone transmitting point is.

He did not believe that with the most advanced technology of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, it would be impossible to catch it.

Later, Hanks asked Jack to find a negotiator.

After arranging all this, Hanks picked up the phone and said:

"Hello, I am Police Commissioner Hanks. I can make any decision on behalf of the Police Department!"

"Mr. Hanks, are you prepared to pay 140 million, or are you prepared to receive eight cold and mutilated corpses?"

"Everything is decided by your thoughts!!"

The robber on the other side of the phone said calmly.

Hanks immediately said: "I choose a peaceful solution and negotiate with you. The ransom is easy to negotiate!"

"But first I have to make sure the hostages are safe, otherwise I will interrupt the negotiations!!"

"Mr. Hanks, please face the situation you are in. You don't have any bargaining chips at all, you know?" the robber mocked.

Hanks moved a seat, obviously a little irritated, but still pretended to be calm and said:

"Don't be too arrogant, don't think that we have no cards to play, we..."

"Director Hanks, I'm not calling you to talk nonsense, and I'm not going to listen to your clichés, official talk, clichés, bullshit, and nonsense."

"You want to know if the hostages are safe? You'll know the answer soon!"

After finishing speaking, a busy tone came from the phone.

Obviously, the robber has hung up the phone.

After Hanks put down the phone, he immediately looked at the technical experts in the office and asked:

"Michaelson, have you found the specific location of the satellite phone? What is the frequency band?"

The communications technology expert named Michelson said with a black line:

"Mr. Director, I caught it, but it's very weird!"

"The signal transmitting point actually comes from Heizhou."

"What? The phone call comes from Heizhou? It's so primitive and backward, how could it have such advanced technology!"

Hanks asked, equally confused.

Another communications expert said: "No, the signal location has changed again, and it has moved to Southeast Asia again."

"Sometimes I was in Malacca, and the next time I was in the Golden Triangle. I have never encountered such a fact. It is really incredible."

Hanks' face dropped after hearing this.

What technology is the other party using?

Even the top communications experts were confused.

But he made a decision immediately and said, "Do you want to check your machine first?"

"If the captured signal is relatively stable, tell me immediately."

"I will notify the senior officials of the Zu family and ask them to contact the relevant countries to facilitate the arrest by the relevant countries."

Michelson immediately said: "Mr. Director, although his signal is erratic, it is most frequent in the Malacca frequency band."

"In my estimation, he should have done some encryption and interference, so this situation occurred."

"This is also the world's top technology that is only available in country m. We in Great Britain have not yet mastered this communication technology."

"So, I suggest, Mr. Director, that you contact Manlajia Palace."

"Okay, I'll coordinate right away!!"

After Hanks finished speaking, he walked to a small room next to the office.

There is a red phone there which is a secure phone and can be called directly to the cabinet.

He came back a few minutes later and said, "I already promised that the results would be available tomorrow."

But less than 5 minutes passed. A call went directly to Hanks' office.

After female secretary Catherine answered the phone, she said to Hanks: "Mr. Director, Queen Mary Hospital just called and said that their hospital's security guard found an unconscious police officer at the door eight minutes ago."

"After emergency treatment in the ICU, the police officer woke up and revealed his identity. He was the driver of the special vehicle for the anti-terrorism exercise that day."

Hearing what the secretary said, Hanks immediately said loudly, Jack, go and bring him here personally, I want to question him personally. "

…

At the same time!

Lin Yao's side!

Lin Yao is now making an encrypted satellite phone call.

"Mr. Franklin, you can make preparations over there. I will make big moves here soon, which will allow you to move better."

Lin Yao held a Cuban cigar in his hand and said slowly with a smile.

On the other side of the phone, a ghostly male voice came over:

"My most respected Mr. Lin, my company will only serve you as a customer this month. Please rest assured that I will definitely handle this matter for you!!"

Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, but you must pay attention to the news on Hong Kong Island these days, because the news here is crucial to what you will do next. It’s important, you should understand what I mean!”

"Mr. Lin, I understand. I'm looking forward to it very much."

Franklin, the president of International Lobbyists, said with a smile on the other side of the phone.

Lin Yao quickly hung up the phone and then dialed another phone number.

"Ahu, how is your contact with the media?"

"We've almost all been contacted, boss, don't worry!"

Hu Hu's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Very good, don't be reluctant to spend money, hang up first!"

After Lin Yao finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hanks would never have imagined that.

Hijacking those eight characters was just the first step in Lin Yao's plan. He still has a trick waiting for Hanks.

A big hole had already been dug, and it looked like Hanks had jumped out.

He had to jump because now Hanks had no choice and he absolutely could not be responsible for the murder of the hostages.

This is his weakness. He will never be able to break Lin Yao's tricks, he can only be led by the nose!
