Chapter 74: Negotiator!

After the commander finished speaking.

The SWAT team leader said, “These robbers are really smart. They even know to change all the hostages into the same clothes as themselves. However, why didn’t the robbers block the cameras? Did they forget?”

“It was intentional. His accomplice warned him before, but he still didn’t block the cameras.”

“All the surveillance footage inside the bank that we can see is what he wanted us to see.”

The commander’s tone was a little weak. After all, up until now, Jon had been leading them by the nose.

“Interesting.”

The SWAT team leader smiled.

Of course, he knew Jon.

A high IQ robber indeed lived up to his reputation.

The SWAT team leader was filled with anticipation when he dealt with such a highly intelligent person.

At the same time.

The audience in the live stream saw the arrival of the SWAT team and started to discuss animatedly once again.

“The arrival of the SWAT team means that the manpower of this drill has been upgraded. Whether it is the combat ability or the actual combat experience of the SWAT team, they are definitely better than the police officers.”

“This SWAT team should be very powerful. Look at them standing there like javelins, emitting sharpness aura.”

“Now that the SWAT team has arrived, I don’t know how long Jon can hold on.”

“I hope Jon can hold on for a little longer. Otherwise, we’ve been looking forward to this drill for more than ten days. If they’re caught in less than two hours, that would be very disappointing.”

“Two hours? You’re underestimating Jon too much. I think even if the SWAT team comes, they’ll have to expend a lot of energy to catch him. After all, Jon is a highly intelligent robber.”

“Looks like none of you are optimistic that Jon will win? I think Jon will be able to escape successfully.”

“Yeah, I also think that the final winner will be Jon. His performance last time was too eye-catching.”

“Last time will be the same as this time? Let me put it this way. It’s only a matter of time before Jon is captured by the SWAT team.”

The audience was discussing fervently.

Seeing the arrival of the SWAT team, many people did not think highly of Jon. They all thought that he would be captured by the SWAT.

After all, the SWAT was not like the police. With Jon leading four teammates, there was almost no chance of winning.

And now, everyone only hoped that Jon would be able to hold on for a little longer and not get caught.

After all, they had been looking forward to this drill for a long time.

If it ended hastily, they would really be disappointed.

Therefore, the audience hoped that Jon would be able to hold on for a little longer.

And these comments, Gal Gadot also saw them.

This made her inwardly snort softly.

They all didn’t think highly of Jon. Just wait and see. When the time came, he would definitely surprise the audience.

She was very confident that Jon would be able to escape.

Just as Gal Gadot was thinking about this, the SWAT team leader spoke, “Sir, have you made a plan now?”

As the commander was the commander-in-chief of this drill, the SWAT team leader still had to ask for his opinion.

Thinking about it.

The commander had been in a stalemate with the robbers for more than an hour. He had a better understanding of the situation and should have made a plan.

“After the robbers got the money, they didn’t have the intention to escape immediately. Instead, they divided the hostages into two groups, showing the intention of confronting the police.”

“Obviously, they are stalling for time.”

“I think the robbers must have some other plan, so I plan to ask you to send a negotiator to the bank to negotiate with the robbers and see if you can find some useful information.”

The commander said with a slight frown.

“Yes, sir.”

The SWAT team leader nodded and did not question the decision-making of the commander.

After all, he was the commander-in-chief in this drill.

Moreover, based on the current situation, it was impossible to force an attack, so they could only send a negotiator first.

Therefore, the SWAT team leader also agreed with the decision-making of the commander.

Then, the SWAT team leader immediately made arrangements.

“Right.”

As if he suddenly thought of something, the commander said, “If the robber asks the negotiator to enter the bank to negotiate, this won’t do.”

“Yes.”

The SWAT team leader responded.

He naturally knew why the commander said this.

In the last drill, Jon had asked the negotiator to enter the bank to negotiate.

When the negotiator entered the bank, Jon tied him up.

An extra hostage for Jon.

In the bank.

“Boss, the negotiator from the SWAT team has come out. It looks like he wants to negotiate with you.”

Leon Evans reported the information to Jon in a timely manner.

Negotiator?

Jon raised his eyebrows.

Then, he heard someone outside the bank.

“Listen up, robbers inside. I’m a negotiator with the SWAT team. I’m here to help you negotiate.”

The negotiator was five or six meters away from the bank’s door.

He spoke through the loudspeaker.

This was a common opening line for a negotiator.

He stated his identity and emphasized that he had no ill intentions. He was here to help the robbers.

This way, he could lower the resistance of the robbers.

Jon stood behind the curtains of the bank. He did not open the curtains, nor did he show his head.

He knew that there were at least two snipers on the rooftop opposite the bank, ready to fire.

If he opened the curtains at this time, he would be a living target.

“Now that the police have surrounded you, it’s futile for you to resist in the bank. As long as you don’t harm the hostages, you can ask for anything.”

The negotiator continued. He first put pressure on the robbers, then let them make demands.

It was also to deal with the robbers psychologically and let them know their situation.

“I want a helicopter with full fuel.”

“Also, it’s going to be night soon. In an hour, prepare dinner for the hostages and the robbers and send it to the bank.”

Jon took out a loudspeaker from his backpack and shouted at the outside of the bank.

As he shouted, he moved his position at the same time. It was so that the sniper outside would not aim onto him.

The first request was very unreasonable. The police could not do it at all.

As for the second request, Jon did not just randomly say it.

He did not specify how many hostages there were. He just wanted to see if his trick of using security guards to impersonate the robbers had been seen through.

This step was crucial to his overall plan.

If it had not been seen through, it would have been even better for him.

If it had been seen through, he would have been able to adjust his plan in time and make another arrangement.

Otherwise, if the police had seen through this trick, but he had not known in time, it would have delayed the adjustment of the plan.

At that time, he would force to act passively.
