After the gunfire, everyone in the security bureau also learned the news.

After everyone from the Security Bureau surrounded the Marriott Hotel, Benrad had already taken control of the situation in the executive lounge on the 29th floor.

Moreover, he has dozens of hostages on his hands at the moment!

Upon hearing this scene, Edward's expression was very solemn, and his mind was thinking about how to deal with this situation.

"It seems that the deal has already begun, and they are threatening them with hostages."

"That's it...are they crazy?"

"The bigger the noise, the harder it will be for them to escape!"

Edward had a hard time understanding the logic of these guys, but the current situation was not optimistic.

Just as he was thinking about it, Toby next to him exclaimed:

"Boss, the monitoring has basically returned to normal."

"Someone temporarily cut off the communication signal, causing the screen information to be unable to be transmitted synchronously. It is now possible."

"only……"

"The surveillance footage on the 29th floor still cannot be retrieved. It may be that the surveillance equipment has been destroyed."

Edward looked at the suddenly restored surveillance equipment, was silent for a moment, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said: "Team A and Group B are on standby."

"Group C and D are preparing to evacuate the crowd in the hotel."

"They only occupy the twenty-ninth floor. Evacuate other people in the building first."

However, at this moment, Edward's phone rang.

The call made at this juncture made all the police officers in the room look at Edward.

Edward took out his phone, looked at the prompts on it, and paused for two seconds.

"I don't recognize this number, but it's my personal number."

"Boss, it could be him."

Edward also nodded solemnly, pressed the speakerphone, and then answered the phone.

"Sir Edward, and all the sirs present, hello."

"Binra's greetings from Heaven's Gate."

A voice that sounded more enthusiastic came from the mobile phone.

Edward frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

Hearing Edward's words, Benrad first chuckled twice, and then said:

"What I want to do is very simple, but before that, I hope Chief Edward can evacuate your people from the hotel."

"Otherwise, this simple thing may become complicated."

"Right now, I have about fifty hostages on my hands. I'll give you ten minutes."

"In ten minutes, if I find someone from the Security Bureau on the surveillance camera, I will kill a hostage instead."

Edward spoke again: "What you want is for the transaction to be completed smoothly, why should ordinary people be involved?"

Benrad laughed wildly: "We are not conservatives who only know how to deal."

"Do as I say. You should know that many of these hostages have a good identity and status."

Hearing this cold and crazy voice made Edward feel troubled again.

Before I could say anything else, there was already a busy tone on the phone.

Edward rubbed his temples.

Yesterday, he was almost up all night dealing with the plane crash and the Statue of Liberty, and now, he had begun to have a headache.

"There are less than ten minutes left."

"Get people out and evacuate the crowd as much as possible."

“Also, contact our negotiators and wait for their request.”

"In addition, thoroughly re-examine the monitoring that previously cut off the transmission to see where these people came from!"

"Everything has been arranged." Toby also looked serious.

"Boss, there is currently no surveillance in the fire escape. If our people hide in the fire escape, they should be able to avoid detection."

"Without the monitoring data from the 29th floor, it's hard to know what's going on above."

Edward nodded deeply: "Yes, this information gap will keep us at a disadvantage."

As he was talking, Edward suddenly remembered something: "By the way, coordinate the dispatch of snipers to the nearby World Trade Center. With the height of the World Trade Center, the Marriott Hotel should have an unobstructed view."

"No, boss, the executive lounge has no windows to the outside. It has high privacy and is an internal space."

Edward also understood why these people chose a place like the executive lounge.

Toby hesitated for a moment, then said: "Boss, I apply to enter through the fire escape and go up to investigate."

"Huh?" Edward was stunned for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

Toby said frankly: "No, but someone has to go see what's going on above."

"No, this is too dangerous. The elevator is now on the 29th floor and has been cut off. The fire escape on the upper floor is probably occupied by their people."

"Besides... based on the location of the fire escape, it's difficult to know what happened in the executive lounge."

On the twenty-ninth floor, there is still a long distance between the fire escape and the executive lounge.

"That's why we have a chance," Toby insisted.

Edward saw Toby's thoughts.

Toby has always been a person who strives for credit.

But at this moment, Edward did not agree immediately.

There are unknown risks on it, and it is very likely that it will be a narrow escape. More importantly, if it is discovered, it will probably make these people angry. If they do something crazy, it will be even worse.

Of course, if you look at it from another perspective, in this situation, the success rate of investigation by individual soldiers will indeed be higher.

But just when Edward was about to say something, Toby had already stood up from the monitoring position and called the assistant next to him to take his place.

As for himself, he has already begun to configure the equipment, and is obviously ready to go.

"Okay, be safe."

Edward patted Toby on the shoulder, finally agreed with Toby's action, and took out the walkie-talkie.

"Members of Group A and Group B will enter the fire escapes on both sides and be on standby at any time."

Toby finished dressing up, opened the door, and walked into the corridor.

It is worth mentioning that in the corridor on this floor, the communication signals of the monitoring equipment have been controlled by the Security Bureau.

Even though Toby entered the corridor, he didn't attract anyone's attention.

Soon, he entered the fire escape, straddling the steps three by two, and checked that the fire escape was not occupied. Soon, Toby had arrived at the door of the fire escape on the 29th floor.

At this time, Toby's surveillance equipment had been turned on. It was a relatively small law enforcement recorder, which was hung in front of Toby.

"Signal received."

In Toby's headset, the technician's confirmation came.

After receiving the confirmation, Toby carefully came to the door.
Chapter completed!
