South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Yes!" Director Lin saluted quickly in response, then walked to the side and found Captain Jiang.

"Send someone to the car to communicate with Yuan Mu and ask him to stabilize the fugitive and buy us some time."

"Yes! Director Lin!" Captain Jiang saluted, then quickly walked out to make arrangements.

"What we need to know now is the specific distribution locations of several fugitives. I have asked the military district's professional snipers to help us complete this operation. They are already on the way." Director Zhang said as he looked at the carriage distribution map on the table in front of him.

"Now we are worried that the fugitive will make unreasonable demands. If he kills the hostages, we will be finished." Director Lin beside him said worriedly.

"Now it depends on whether Yuan Mu can calm the bandits. Once the sniper arrives, we can implement the next plan." Director Zhang sighed.

"Why don't we replace Yuan Mu? After all, he is not a professional negotiator. Let's send our negotiators to negotiate with the fugitive?" suggested the person next to him.

"It's not appropriate. We have never had any contact with this group of fugitives. If we rashly change people, it might irritate them. I still believe in Comrade Yuan Mu's ability. Let's wait patiently." Director Zhang shook his head.

Just as everyone was discussing, several military vehicles stopped directly on the platform, and almost a squad of soldiers walked down from them, all holding guns and with solemn faces.

An old man in military uniform and several soldiers dressed as officers got off the first car. The old man was about sixty years old, with a resolute face, but he seemed a little anxious at this time. He walked quickly into the station, and the officers and soldiers followed behind him.

"What's going on inside now!" the old man shouted as he entered the station.

Director Zhang and several others frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. They were about to scold him, but after seeing the person coming, they all stood at attention and saluted with respect on their faces.

"Hello, Chief!!"

"Okay, stop wasting time! What's going on in there?" The old man waved his hands impatiently, his tone urgent.

Director Zhang and the others looked at each other. Although they did not understand what the leader meant, they did not dare to neglect it and quickly told him the current situation.

The old man listened for a long time, and finally looked at them angrily.

"That is to say, you still don't understand the situation inside! What do you do for a living?!"

The few people didn't dare to talk back and just stood there at attention. Not to mention scolding them, they would have to endure even if they were hit a few times.

Who is this person in front of me? His name is Feng Deliang, the current head of the Ningyang Military Region, a founding major general, and any of his titles can scare people to death.

"Yes, Chief. This is a mistake in our work. We have sent people to investigate the situation and we will have results soon." Director Zhang answered loudly.

"Hmph!" Old Feng snorted coldly, then turned around and waved to the officer behind him.

"Xiao Li, bring your people here."

"Yes! Chief!" Xiao Li stood at attention and saluted, then called all the soldiers over.

"This is the distribution map of the carriages. Xiao Zhang, explain the situation to them. I have brought you the snipers you asked for." Old Feng pointed to the map.

"Yes!" Director Zhang nodded, and then told everyone what happened in the carriage.

Soon, a group of officers and soldiers who knew the situation left with the map, looking for favorable terrain to set up sniper rifles. They also left walkie-talkies behind for communication between the two sides.

When the time is right, news will come from the other side, and it will be up to Mr. Feng to give the order whether to open fire.

Director Zhang next to him hesitated for a long time, then took two steps forward and came to Mr. Feng's side.

"Chief, why does this matter alarm you?" Director Zhang asked what everyone present wanted to ask.

"Do you know who one of the hostages is?" Old Feng looked at him and said.

"who is it?"

"Zhou Zhennan! General Zhou!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, especially Director Zhang, whose hands were shaking a little.

"Quick! Send more people over, make sure General Zhou's safety is guaranteed!!"

"Okay, by the time you arrange the food, the flowers will be cold. I have already sent a battalion of troops over here. They should be here soon." Old Feng waved his hand.

inside the carriage.

At this time, Yuan Mu was sitting in his seat with his legs crossed, looking at Xue Yong opposite him.

"Can I have a cigarette?" Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Of course, go ahead." Xue Yong nodded with a smile.

Yuan Mu then took out a cigarette and a lighter, lit it, took a puff and exhaled the smoke.

"Don't try to delay time. You should have heard my conditions clearly, right?" Xue Yong spoke again.

"Of course, you want the car to start, right?" Yuan Mu nodded and spoke.

"Yes, I'll only give you half an hour. If you exceed one minute, I'll kill someone."

"Wait a moment, I'll analyze it for you. Where can the car go if you start driving it? This car is going to Kyoto. If you drive to Kyoto, wouldn't that be courting death?" Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"You've been talking too much nonsense. It's my business to decide what to do!" Xue Yong's voice turned cold.

"Listen to my analysis. This car can only go as far as Kyoto. It can't go any further because there will be oncoming trains and it's easy to hit them."

"You're talking bullshit! Do you think I'm a kid? Are you so easy to fool? This railway track is a one-way street!" Xue Yong glared and shouted.

"Oh! If you say you don't understand, then stop arguing. I've worked on the railway for so many years, don't I understand? This railroad track can change direction. You don't even know this, do you?"

"If the train leaves rashly, it is very likely to collide with the train coming from the front. What should we do then?"

"Then you should notify the train ahead not to leave!"

"Brother! How is that possible? Do you know how much loss would be if you did that? Do you think it's possible to delay so many cars just for one?"

"Then don't blame me!" Xue Yong said, raising his pistol and pointing it at the crowd.

"Wait a minute, why are you so anxious? Just listen to me!" Yuan Mu said speechlessly.

Xue Yong frowned. He always felt that the policeman in front of him was unreliable, but he still listened to him patiently.

"What you want to do is change to another railway and drive north to Mohe. There are fewer trains there and we can communicate. Then you can take your brothers across the border to the Bear Country."

"Look, this way, once you leave the country, we won't be able to catch you. Don't you agree?" Yuan Mu gave the other party advice in a serious tone.

"You're fucking playing tricks on me, aren't you? You let me get off the car so you can take advantage of the situation to kill us!" Xue Yong was filled with anger and pointed his pistol at Yuan Mu.
