In the autopsy room of the Hailan Police Station, the forensic doctors were busy.
They were processing the bones found in the cave in an orderly manner. Some were integrating the bones, while others were doing laboratory analysis.
"Hey? Why are you here? " Dr. Gao, who was busy with the laboratory equipment, suddenly saw Zhao Yu. He took off his glasses and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any progress in the case?"
"No …" Zhao Yu said lightly, "I just want to see the skull! Where is it? "
"Oh, it's here. Come with me …" Dr. Gao led Zhao Yu into the office next door and said, "Just in case, they got a safe!"
As he spoke, Forensics Gao skillfully opened the safe and took out the box containing the skull from inside.
After opening the box, the skull that had been found in the Yu family's old house appeared in front of Zhao Yu.
Although Zhao Yu had seen it many times before, looking at it now, it still felt a little different. He felt that the color of the skull was not as white as he had imagined. Instead, it looked a little yellow and old.
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu stared at the skull seriously, as if the skull really had some kind of magical power. He couldn't help but wonder if the dark and hollow skull could really carry a person's soul.
"What's wrong?" Dr. Gao asked curiously. "Are you worried? Don't forget, you sent a whole team of special police to guard the autopsy room. If the criminal still managed to snatch it, it would be a miracle! "
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu looked at the skull and sighed. "It's a pity that he didn't come to snatch it. He wanted me to send it to him!"
"Huh? What do you mean? Why? "Gao Facai was puzzled." Why? "
"Because …" Zhao Yu looked around. When he saw that there was no one else around, he pulled Gao Facai aside and whispered, "The criminal has now kidnapped the bureau chief and the senior officials of the provincial bureau as hostages. He wants us to exchange the skull for them!"
"Ah? How could this be? "Gao Facai was shocked." What should we do? "
While they were talking, Zhao Yu's mobile phone rang. It was Miao Ying. She spoke quickly, and the surroundings were noisy.
"Team Leader, we have arrived at the scene. The car controlled by the suspect has been forced to stop by the police on the fifth ramp of the viaduct!
"We have surrounded the car," Miao Ying said. "But there are stickers in the car, so we can't see what's going on inside. Our infrared equipment is still on the way …"
Before Miao Ying could finish her report, Zhao Yu suddenly heard a loud bang coming from the other end of the phone!
Boom …
"Oh …" Miao Ying replied in the midst of the ringing, and the phone immediately fell into chaos.
"Miao Ying?!" Zhao Yu was shocked and shouted, "What … what happened?"
"Explosion …" Miao Ying replied. "There was an explosion at the scene, team leader!"
"Ah? Explosion? Where did it explode? "Zhao Yu was shocked." A car? "
"No, no …" Miao Ying panted and said, "Before the car was forced to stop, a box was thrown from the viaduct. Just now … the box exploded, but according to visual observation, there should be no casualties …"
Di di di di …
Just as Zhao Yu was panicking, a video call request from a stranger popped up on his phone.
This …
"Wait a minute," Zhao Yu said to Miao Ying in a hurry. "My phone is ringing. It's a video call. Maybe it's Liang Yili …"
"Okay … Take it!" Miao Ying said quickly. "I've already shared it here, so you can see it!"
"Okay," Zhao Yu said. "The bomb should be a signal. Don't act rashly for the time being!"
After that, Zhao Yu quickly accepted the video call request.
In the end, a shaky picture popped up on the phone screen. In the picture, someone said, "Police, did you see the food I gave you? Now, look at the appetizer! "
It really is him!
Zhao Yu could tell that the person on the video call was Liang Yili himself.
The next second, he was shocked to see three people appear on the screen. They were tied up tightly, and their mouths were wrapped with tape.
What was even more shocking was that there was an obvious bomb tied to the chest of the person in the middle!
At that moment, the three of them were so scared that their faces were pale and they were trembling. Although the video was not very clear, Zhao Yu could see that they were in a car, and it was a very spacious business car.
This …
Seeing this, Zhao Yu understood that the three people should be the hostages that Liang Yili had captured.
The next second, the video finally changed direction and showed the person holding the phone. It was the killer, Liang Yili!
Obviously, Liang Yili and the hostages were in the same car, and he was sitting in the driver's seat.
"Police …" Liang Yili said coldly. "So, are you satisfied with the appetizer I gave you?"
"Not bad …" Zhao Yu said calmly. "If that's the case, don't waste time. Let's talk."
As he spoke, Zhao Yu purposely lowered the camera to capture the skull.
"Ah? Xia … "Xia …" Liang Yili's exclamation came from the phone, but after shouting twice, he immediately regained his composure and said in his usual ice-cold voice, "Alright, you know what I want. Three hostages, equivalent exchange!
Do you know why I stopped at the South Outer Ring Bridge? Because it's very close to your police station. I'll give you twenty minutes to bring me what I need!
If you're late, you know what the consequences will be! "
"Okay!" Zhao Yu said without hesitation. "Two killers and one head. This is a good deal. Deal!"
"I'm warning you, don't play tricks with me," Liang Yili said coldly. "The bureau chief is in my hands. You can't fool me!"
After that, Liang Yili finally hung up.
"This guy … He's really brave!" Gao Facheng had witnessed the whole process. When he saw that the phone had been hung up, he hurried over to remind Zhao Yu. "But, he made such a brazen deal. Didn't he think of his own way out? After the deal, how could he get away? "
"Of course it's not that simple!" Zhao Yu said, squinting. "Let's wait and see. He must have other requests!"
Then, Zhao Yu called Miao Ying. Before he could open his mouth, Miao Ying spoke first.
Before he opened his mouth, Miao Ying said, "We all heard what you said just now. Team Leader, "she asked seriously," are you sure we really want to exchange hostages with him? "
"Then what do you have in mind?" Zhao Yu asked helplessly.
"I just think," Miao Ying said hesitantly. "Liang Yili should have a backup plan. It doesn't seem reasonable for him to put himself in such danger!"
"Of course he has a backup plan," Zhao Yu said with a smile. "But, no matter what, this deal has to go through. At least, we have to ensure the safety of the hostages!
