Chapter 17: Stalemate
"I'm sorry!" Jock said this without any reason, before Kate could react.
"ah?"
"Ah~~!" Kate screamed, and Jock pointed the butt of his gun at her face and hit her hard.
Kate's mouth was bleeding, and her right cheek soon became swollen.
"Remember! From now on, I have nothing to do with you, I am just the gangster who kidnapped you!"
Jock held Kate with his left hand and walked to the right side of the door. He took Kate slightly inside so that even if the door opened, she would not be immediately exposed to the police.
Then, Jock raised his left foot and kicked the door axis hard!
With a "bang" sound, the entire metal door immediately detached from the door frame and flew two meters away. Then with a "bang" sound, it fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a lot of dust.
Except for some suspicious sounds coming from the surroundings, there were no gunshots.
Jock then held Kate hostage and asked her to stand in front of him. With the gun in his right hand pressed against Kate's temple, he carefully walked out of the house.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Jock leaned his back against the wall. He looked around, his senses unknowingly sharpened to the extreme, and he looked at the people surrounding him.
So many police!
Within a semicircle with the house as the core, there were a total of 13 policemen pointing their guns at Jock. They were wearing dark blue uniforms and had two long guns with their muzzles crossed and inserted upside down in the middle.
Medal with a sword.
Just 15 meters in front of Jock, the policeman had an extra pair of epaulettes on his shoulders. Although the policeman next to him had no epaulettes, the patterns on his uniform were more gorgeous than those of the other policemen.
Some.
"There are no robots." Jock didn't know why he suddenly had such a strange idea.
He looked at the man who looked like the police chief and yelled: "Let me go! Otherwise I will shoot her!"
As he spoke, Jock pressed the muzzle of the gun hard against Kate's temple.
"Did you really kill someone?" the police captain asked, ignoring his request.
Jock was extremely vigilant at this time, and he found that the police in this world seemed to be much more difficult to communicate with than before.
'You can't tell the real reason why Joseph wanted to kill him. This would expose what happened before. If the identity matter is more dangerous, then you are cheating yourself.'
'But... the guy in front of me... doesn't look so easy to fool...'
'With so many traces at the scene, sooner or later they will be found.'
'The most important thing is...the anonymous report.'
Jock didn't believe that so many police officers would be dispatched just based on an anonymous report.
Based on the information he obtained from reading Joseph's memory, in this world, even if he had solid evidence, the police department would not allocate so many police forces to the gangsters and poor people.
‘There’s definitely something fishy going on here!’
Thinking of this, Jock finally decided to selectively tell the truth.
"There were two guys who deliberately provoked trouble and wanted to take money from my slaves. Of course I would not agree to it!"
"They actually dared to take the lead and shoot at me. They don't give me any face. Living is a waste of air!"
Jock spoke "confidently".
"Slave?" The vice-captain didn't understand for a moment.
"Idiot! He's talking about the Bolkin brothers and sisters who live here!"
"Oh, that's it, the captain is smart!"
Faced with the deputy captain's flattery, the police captain hummed in a low voice: "Get money? For the sake of face? Does this guy really think that I am as stupid as the guy next to me?"
"Captain, what are you talking about?" The vice-captain looked over curiously.
"Nothing!" the police captain replied angrily. He looked at Jock and said loudly: "So, you really killed someone. In this case, I advise you to surrender immediately and don't make your sins worse.
"
"Let me go! I have a hostage in my hand! Get out of the way! Or I'll kill her!" Jock waved his pistol "excitedly" with a fierce attitude.
"Captain, he's just a poor man, let's attack by force." Even though he saw the blood on the corner of Kate's mouth, the vice-captain didn't care at all and suggested.
He still hasn't figured out why the boss called the police so decisively after answering a phone call. You must know that in the past, the boss always asked him to handle similar incidents alone.
‘The boss will definitely not let this criminal go!’ This is his experience following the boss for many years.
"Shut up!"
The police captain looked at Jock and then at Kate in front of him, sneering in his heart.
He asked Jock: "Where is the man you killed? Is the body in the house?"
"I have already thrown it into the garbage mountain!"
"Which position?"
"Just the two closest ones over there." Jock gestured with his head.
When the police captain heard this, he glanced at the deputy captain, who immediately understood and ordered to the policeman beside him:
"You two, go find the body!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
As the two police officers left, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Jock already felt that the other party would not let him go so easily because of the poor hostages in his hands, so he stopped making any threats.
'There are too many police officers! And they are all 10 meters away. I'm afraid if I take a step now, I will be treated as a moving target by these police officers, and Kate will be implicated.'
The police captain was just staring at him quietly and did not continue to speak, as if he was waiting for the results on the other side of the garbage mountain.
The rest of the policemen, without the captain's orders, all silently surrounded Jock.
The two parties were in a stalemate.
Soon, the two policemen who were searching for the body returned. One of them leaned into the captain's ear and whispered:
"The body was found, but 21 kryptons were missing."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the police captain immediately looked at Jock: "Did you poach their 21 kryptons?"
"Yes! If you want..."
"boom!"
Before Jock could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out and a bullet flew over his head.
"Surrender immediately and hand over 21 krypton!" The police captain's tone was extremely tough. Because of his gunshot, all the policemen present became more energetic and pointed their guns accurately at Jock and Kate, ready to attack at any time.
"I'll say it one last time. I'll give you 10 seconds to throw away your weapons, release the hostages, and surrender. Otherwise, I can take your 21 Krypton back."
After the police captain finished speaking, he had a half-smiling expression on his face.
Jiao Ke looked at him and was shocked: 'What does his expression mean now?! My consciousness is not stored in 21 Krypton at all.'
"ten!"
"Nine!"
...
‘What should I do? Do you want to give it a try?’ In Jock’s mind at this time, several different ideas were fighting with each other.
"five!"
"Four!"
...
Jock suddenly came up with the idea of shooting the police captain, but as soon as the idea occurred, a huge sense of crisis surged in his heart.
He looked at the police captain again, and seemed to understand something in his heart: 'The other person is also a transcendent!'
"three!"
"two!"
