Chapter 131: Bad Ideas Are Useful, But Not Much
On the opposite side of the hill.
"Brother Xiao, they are coming." The younger brother put away the telescope and said in a deep voice.
Ye Xiao sneered grimly: "Let them come over and tell everyone to watch the entrances and exits."
"Yes."
Tu Shan led the way in a straight line and used her special abilities to secretly move away all the brambles and weeds wherever she passed. In just over an hour, they arrived at the foot of the opposite hill.
When we were about to take people up the mountain, a man stood on a protruding rock and shouted with a loud speaker.
"Don't come any closer, or we will kill the hostages."
"Hostage?" He Jiahuan looked at Tu Shan. Are there hostages?
Tu Shan shook her head blankly: "I don't know, I only know that there are more than two hundred heat sources." After all, the rhizome has no real eyes, and can only perceive the outside world from the side.
Tu Shan knew a few people by transmitting human body temperature through the roots and rhizomes.
As for why she knew about the Qiao family and Brother Xiao, it was because she heard them talking.
He Jiahuan didn't know what she meant by heat source body, but she knew that she really didn't know.
He asked loudly, "What hostages?"
There is an echo in the mountains. This place must have been specially chosen by the people on the opposite side. The sound can spread easily and people on the mountain can hear it clearly without the help of any tools.
The man with the loudspeaker sneered, "Of course they are the peasants from the mountains. Captain He, you may not know this, but we have invited quite a few of the nearby mountain people to come here."
After saying this, he disappeared for two seconds and dragged out an old man covered in patches.
The old man was so frightened that he was trembling and at a loss what to do.
The man with the loudspeaker laughed: "See? These are the hostages."
As he said that, he pushed the man off the cliff, catching him off guard.
"Ah..." The old man screamed and fell down from the rock.
He Jiahuan and his group were so frightened that their breathing became tight. They were stunned for a second without reacting. They didn't expect those people to attack without saying a word.
"Go and save them." He Jiahuan almost shouted out.
"Don't move." The loudspeaker pulled another person out: "If anyone dares to take a step forward, I will push him down too."
He Jiahuan and his group were extremely angry, but they did not dare to move.
"Captain He, don't worry. We have more than 200 hostages like this. As long as you obey, we will ensure that they are alive and well."
He Jiahuan angrily asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Tu Shan leaned over and whispered, "Don't be angry, leader. Calm down. Don't let anyone lead you by the nose. I saved the person. He's alive and well. Don't worry.
Besides, there were only 208 people on that hilltop, excluding their own people, and only a little over 100 hostages. The number of over 200 was a false report."
Hearing that the hostages were fine, He Jiahuan's surging anger subsided, and he continued in a deep voice, "I urge you not to be stubborn. The best option is to turn over the hostages and accept legal punishment."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The man with the loudspeaker was impatient. He hated being lectured the most and pushed the person in his hand away.
He Jiahuan's heart tightened for a moment.
Tu Shan hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I saved them. But leader, this is also a good idea. You can provoke them and let them throw them away. I promise to get them all back for you."
He Jiahuan looked at Tu Shan hesitantly. Would it really work? Was it a bad idea?
Tu Shan looked at He Jiahuan with sparkling eyes. It was so true, so true, it couldn't be more true.
He Jiahuan was ready to give it a try: "Do you know that the two innocent hostages you just killed are enough to kill you twice? But if you help us rescue the remaining hostages, I can plead with the judge to reduce your guilt."
The loudspeaker was so angry that he laughed: "He Jiahuan, are you still asleep? Everyone says you are a genius at solving cases, but why do I feel that your mind is not clear?
Shoot me, all right, come and shoot me."
Saying this, he pushed two more down, feeling unsatisfied.
Tu Shan smiled obscenely beside him: "Yes, yes, that's it, push, push, push more."
He Jiahuan almost broke down when he heard her laughter: "Can you be quiet?"
Tu Shan looked at He Jiahuan in confusion. What was wrong with her?
Are you jealous of her outstanding abilities?
He Jiahuan was exhausted, his face burning with anger: "Are you really not afraid of death? Don't you have parents and relatives? Those people are innocent, why do you treat them like this? Aren't you afraid of retribution?
If you dare to hurt them again, I promise you will pay with blood."
The man with the loudspeaker laughed. "Oh, Captain He is anxious? Seeing you unhappy makes me happy.
Want revenge? Okay, but these few people are not qualified enough for Captain He to take action. I'll add a few more."
As he said this, he was about to push someone down, but was stopped.
"Something's wrong."
The man with the loudspeaker was suspicious: "What's wrong?"
The man shook his head: "Anyway, something is wrong. Don't waste time talking to them. Let's get down to business."
The man with the loudspeaker pursed his lips, but did not object, and sent the person who pushed him down back.
Tu Shan was extremely disappointed: "They're not pushing us anymore. Leader, let's move forward and provoke them to see if they'll push us anymore."
He Jiahuan nodded and took the lead forward.
"call out……"
The sound of breaking through the air came.
Tu Shan quickly kicked the stone at her feet, knocking away the bullet that was heading towards He Jiahuan's leg.
Stone debris flew everywhere, He Jiahuan turned his head to avoid it, stopped, his heart beating uncontrollably, and signaled the people behind him not to move forward.
The man with the loudspeaker was a little surprised when the bullet was deflected, but he didn't think much of it and continued shouting, "I told you not to come near, Captain He. If you don't listen, the next bullet will hit your head."
He Jiahuan's face was gloomy. Tu Shan's bad idea was somewhat useful, but not much.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
The man with the loudspeaker said, "Captain He, don't worry. We don't want to do anything. We just want you to do us a favor."
"What convenience?"
"First, prepare 20 kilograms of small yellow croaker for us."
He Jiahuan didn't react much, but Tu Shan started drooling.
"Twenty kilograms of small yellow croaker? I laughed at two kilograms."
He Jiahuan glared at her.
Tu Shan shut up feeling wronged.
"Second, prepare a helicopter for us."
"Hiss..." Tu Shan took a deep breath. Even kidnappers twenty years later wouldn't dare to ask for such a request. At most, they would ask for a car or a boat. These people were really bold. "Leader, something's wrong with them. There's so many people, how can one helicopter hold them all?"
He Jiahuan didn't respond to Tu Shan, and said loudly: "I can find a way to deal with the little yellow croaker. There is no helicopter, and there is no helicopter in the entire state capital."
The man with the loudspeaker didn't listen: "Captain He, we don't accept rejection. If you can't get it, I will have no choice but to let these people die."
He dragged a man over and pointed a gun at his head.
The man screamed and urinated.
He Jiahuan was really anxious and turned to look at Tu Shan.
Tu Shan's eyes sparkled, and she was eager to try: "Leader, if you don't restrict me, I can save her."
He Jiahuan turned his head away: "Okay, I'll find a way, but you have to give me some time."
"Okay, I'll give you an hour."
He Jiahuan: "One hour is not enough, I can't even go back to the city."
"Then it'll be an hour and a half, Captain He. This isn't a market, don't bargain. If you can't get what we want, I'll kill the hostages."
He Jiahuan nodded with a dark face, then turned around and ordered, "Go get what they want. As for the helicopter, apply for it in my name."
The men left in response.
