South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Brother, aren't you tired? Relax. The initiative is in your hands now, and we can't do anything to you." Seeing the other party like this, Yuan Mu spoke in a slightly relaxed tone.

"Heh! Comrade Section Chief, do you think I'm a fool? I was a soldier before, and I guess there are several sniper rifles pointed at my head right now, right?"

"What a pity, my hands were on the handle. If I were shot to death, inertia would cause the explosives to explode. Besides, I was in the corner. As long as I didn't show my head, no one could hit me!" Li Shoucheng's voice sounded with a hint of joking.

Hearing this, both Yuan Mu and the leaders on the third floor had changed their expressions. They once again underestimated the cunningness of Li Shoucheng. He knew too much and was very tricky!

"What's wrong, Comrade Section Chief? You're not talking anymore? Did I get it right?" Then, Li Shoucheng's teasing voice came from behind Zhou Xiaobai again.

Yuan Mu was really angry. Over the years, including his previous life, he had lived for nearly sixty years. He had been fooled by criminals before, but this Li Shoucheng was really infuriating.

Was he just pretending to be so excited? But why bother? If he really had such a high IQ, he wouldn't have chosen to come to Kyoto Station with explosives.

In fact, Yuan Mu's guess was wrong. Li Shoucheng was not pretending to be excited. He was indeed excited before, but now he has calmed down a little, so his words and actions are more logical.

"No, how could that be? You're overthinking it." Yuan Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, stop lying to me. I have only one purpose, which is to meet Wang Dayou. After I meet Wang Dayou, I will release these people. Don't worry, as long as you meet my requirements, I will not hurt anyone." Li Shoucheng continued.

At this moment, a policeman walked up to Yuan Mu and whispered something in his ear. In fact, he was conveying orders from his superiors, asking him to find an opportunity to paralyze the criminals and buy a chance for the sniper upstairs. Yuan Mu had no objection.

"Brother, how about this, let's release all those people on the ground? There's no point in keeping them here, look at that lady who is already so old."

"To put it bluntly, they are about the same age as your mother, and that old man is so old, why don't you just let them go?"

"Anyway, there are so many of us here, all accompanying you. It doesn't matter if there are more or fewer of us. You were once a soldier, so you should know our policies. One person is the same as a group of people. We will not give up, and we will not cause any losses to you."

There was a brief silence. Seeing this, Yuan Mu continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Brother, have you forgotten your promise? Serving the people wholeheartedly is not just empty talk! You have been a soldier, and you have also been an ordinary citizen. You should understand them the best, right?"

"If you were the hostage, what would you think? They are also someone else's parents, someone else's children, and someone else's husband or wife!"

"Let them go, let them go home and reunite with their families, okay? Your current situation is not caused by them. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, this is the truth since ancient times."

"There must be a reason why this sentence has been passed down. You are also an intellectual, so you should be able to understand the meaning of this sentence, right? Let them go, okay?" Yuan Mu tried his best to make his tone gentle, with a slightly misleading tone in his voice.

After a few minutes, Li Shoucheng spoke.

"Okay! I'll let them go! But don't try to play any tricks, or I'll detonate the explosives and we'll all be done for!!"

"Okay, don't worry, we will never play any tricks!" Yuan Mu was delighted and made assurances repeatedly.

"Comrades, let's go!" Yuan Mu then hurriedly shouted to the people on the ground.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to move for a moment. After all, they still remembered the previous explosion vividly, and they were afraid that if they ran, this person would detonate the explosives.

"Hurry up!" Yuan Mu frowned. He really wanted to kick them. They had already been given the chance but they didn't even run away.

"Get out! All of you get out!" At this time, Li Shoucheng shouted angrily.

After hearing Li Shoucheng's words, one person stood up and ran first. However, his legs were numb from squatting for a long time, and he fell down after just two steps. However, he stubbornly got up and continued to run forward, rolling and crawling.

Once there was one, there would be a second one. Dozens of hostages ran down the stairs one after another, and naturally there were people to catch them.

The leaders on the third floor all laughed when they saw this scene and heard the conversation between the two parties. They were very satisfied with Yuan Mu's approach.

"This young comrade is quite capable! What's his name?" At this time, a man in his fifties wearing a police uniform spoke with a smile. He was the head of the Railway Public Security Bureau.

"Director, his name is Yuan Mu." Shen Nan next to him spoke quickly.

"Oh? It looks familiar."

"That's Yuan Mu, who was recognized as a hero and model by the Ministry of Public Security a while ago."

"Oh!" After hearing this, not only the director, but other leaders all suddenly realized what was going on. This incident caused quite a stir at the time. After all, it involved Zhou Zhennan and everyone was paying attention to it. Naturally, they also knew the name Yuan Mu.

Although Zhou Zhennan was still worried about his daughter's situation at this time, he still affirmed Yuan Mu's approach. If he could rescue these people, he should be able to rescue his daughter as well.

At this time, Yuan Mu downstairs was brainstorming, how should he break the deadlock? This matter cannot be delayed, the longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it will be. He said he would go to find Wang Dayou, and he did so, but it was estimated that he would not be able to make it in time, so Li Shoucheng gave him fifteen hours.

Shan Province is more than 500 kilometers away from Kyoto. It may take 15 hours to call there and then have Wang Dayou come over. With Li Shoucheng's unstable mood, he might do something.

Of course, he was also worried about himself. After all, the bomb exploded and he was almost at the center of the explosion. It was not yet known whether he could leave his body intact. He did not want to die. His development was going smoothly now, and he did not want to die so early.

Just when Yuan Mu was thinking about how to break the impasse, he suddenly noticed that Zhou Xiaobai in Li Shoucheng's arms was winking at him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he seriously guessed Zhou Xiaobai's intention.

Although he couldn't guess the other party's specific intentions, he could more or less know that Zhou Xiaobai seemed to want to help him, which made Yuan Mu hesitate for a while.

He didn't know Zhou Xiaobai and didn't know what the other party did. Zhou Zhennan was afraid that it would affect Yuan Mu's judgment, so he didn't let anyone know Zhou Xiaobai's identity.
