104: The magical effect of mental finger snapping can improve your relationship

"Let go of the hostage! Can we talk?"

After quickly pursuing the robber leader, Liu Kangmei, to the stairwell, Gao Ze didn't expect such a coincidence: a couple with their daughter appeared in the hallway, returning home.

Liu Kangmei seized this opportunity to take a hostage.

Such an error occurred.

Part of the reason was that he underestimated Liu Kangmei's vigilance.

This guy was agile and suspicious, placing hair on doorknobs as an early warning, and likely anticipated a surprise attack on his base.

However, now was not the time for self-reflection; for Gao Ze, the most urgent task was to rescue the high school girl being held hostage.

"Talk about what?"

"Will you Police let me go?"

The robber Liu Kangmei hid firmly behind the girl's body, minimizing the area of his body exposed to Gao Ze's line of sight.

He had already developed a phobia of Gao Ze's terrifyingly accurate Gunmanship, which could precisely hit heads with every shot.

"If you don't want to negotiate for survival, why did you take this high school girl hostage?"

"Then you should kill her now and fight me to the death! Only then can you show the heroic spirit of a world-shaking robber!"

Gao Ze's gaze was fixed on the robber Liu Kangmei, his pistol held in the air; if Liu Kangmei dared to show his head from behind the high school girl, he would absolutely pull the trigger without hesitation.

Unfortunately, Liu Kangmei hid stubbornly behind the girl.

"Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

Listening to Gao Ze's provocation, Liu Kangmei let out a sinister laugh, his finger moving little by little towards the trigger.

The parents at the stairwell almost died of fright at the sight, and the Anshun Urban Village residents watching the commotion from afar also picked up their phones to film.

"Very well, you win!"

Seeing Gao Ze's calm and indifferent expression, Liu Kangmei felt that escaping would be incredibly difficult.

"You're the Police officer who killed five or six of us inside Xingsheng Bank, aren't you? Let's talk terms!"

"You stop pursuing me, retreat two hundred meters away, and I'll let this girl go!"

"If I stop pursuing you, do you think no other Police will pursue you? Police are already on their way here."

"I don't care about other Police; just retreat and stop chasing me."

Liu Kangmei's eyes were fixed only on Gao Ze, and he said firmly:

"As long as you agree and do it, I guarantee not to harm a single hair on this girl. I, Liu Kangmei, have been in the underworld for so many years; my word is my bond, and I never lie!"

"Liu Kangmei, I don't believe you!"

"How about this: you release the hostage girl in your hand right now, and I can put down my gun and become your hostage!"

Gao Ze had already thought of a way to rescue the girl, which was to use the Mental Snap skill rewarded by the System intelligence.

This skill, by simply snapping his fingers, could cause anyone watching the snap to be mentally dazed for three seconds, and now was the perfect time to use the snap skill.

Three seconds was enough time for Gao Ze to finish Liu Kangmei.

"Really?"

Hearing Gao Ze's voice, Liu Kangmei's heart trembled; such a self-sacrificing scenario he had only seen on Police and gangster TV shows.

Could there really be such selfless and fearless people in the world?

If Gao Ze really dared to put down his pistol.

He would absolutely shoot Gao Ze to eliminate the future trouble before escaping.

Because Gao Ze posed too great a threat to him; first, the Xingsheng Bank robbery was messed up by him, and then he found his base, as if he knew countless of his secrets in advance.

Such a terrifying enemy, with a life-and-death grudge, why keep him alive?

Gao Ze said, "I'm absolutely serious!"

Liu Kangmei quietly shifted his body, a sharp glimpse appearing from behind the high school girl's head: "But I don't believe you either. Try putting down your pistol as you said."

"If you really put down the gun, I will absolutely let this girl go!"

This was the moment.

Watching the robber Liu Kangmei's focused gaze, Gao Ze's gun-holding right hand slowly moved downwards, his left hand suddenly rose to the edge of the pistol, and he made a dull snap.

Snap!

His left arm had been pierced by a bullet, and blood dripped continuously from the wound. Gao Ze endured the pain in his left arm; the snap was not very loud.

But at that moment, he saw a dull, empty look appear in the pupils of the robber Liu Kangmei and the high school girl.

The opportunity had arrived!

The System intelligence skill was indeed powerful.

A thought of pleasant surprise flashed through his mind, Gao Ze looked straight ahead, tilted his body to the left, and his gun-holding right hand immediately opened fire!

Bang!

The moment the pistol's metal firing pin struck the bullet, a brief but intense flash of fire erupted from the muzzle; almost simultaneously with the sound, the bullet shot through the robber Liu Kangmei's temple.

On the gray-white wall of the stairwell, another plum blossom bloomed.

"Ah!"

The girl's parents at the stairwell screamed upon hearing the gunshot and fled in a panic, and the more distant Anshun Urban Village residents scattered like birds and beasts.

"Ah!"

The high school girl who had been held hostage quickly regained consciousness, and upon seeing the robber Liu Kangmei's body on the ground at her feet, her face turned pale, and tears streamed uncontrollably.

"Waaah, waaah, waaah, thank you, Police big brother!"

The girl's tears contained panic, tension, helplessness... and also the strong joy of escaping death.

Gao Ze put away his pistol and gently stroked the girl's head with his finger. High schoolers nowadays really have good taste; in their eyes, he was clearly still very young, the age of an older brother.

"It's okay, this robber has been killed. You are safe now."

"No one will harm you again!"

"Waaah, waaah, waaah, I was so scared just now! Thank you, Police big brother!"

The little girl hugged Gao Ze and cried bitterly, as if to release her fear and helplessness from earlier. The girl's parents came over to thank him, and many brave Anshun Urban Village residents also came to take photos.

Five or six minutes later.

The first batch of armed Police supporting Gao Ze arrived at Anshun Urban Village.

They were dispatched by Director Zhao and led by Han Minghan, the head of the Jinghai District Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Seeing that all the fleeing robbers had been dealt with and killed, Han Minghan warmly shook Gao Ze's hands, so grateful that he was almost in tears.

The Xingsheng Bank robbery incident occurred on Chunhua Road in Jinghai District, which was Han Minghan's jurisdiction. He had to bear a heavy responsibility and would certainly be held accountable.

However, Gao Ze knew clearly that Captain Han was very innocent; he had only recently been transferred to be in charge of Jinghai District.

The reason was also because of him!

Because the previous head of the Jinghai District Criminal Investigation Brigade had already retired early due to the impact of the Mu Yu Rou Case that he had solved.

"Officer Gao, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

"Your efforts helped me assume this position, and now this major robbery case on Chunhua Road, which shocked the entire Donghai City, allowed over thirty hostages to escape harm, all thanks to you."

"I might be held accountable and find it difficult to continue serving in Jinghai District, but I will never forget the help and kindness you've shown me!"

Gao Ze exchanged pleasantries for over ten minutes, and then the second batch of Police arrived at Anshun Urban Village.

Among them were Director Zhao from the Municipal Bureau, his familiar captains Liu Wenzhong and Shen Gang, and important leaders from various sub-bureaus.

"Gao Ze, this rescue..."

Director Zhao, Liu Wenzhong, and others already knew that Gao Ze had successfully dealt with the remaining fleeing robbers and were about to approach him to commend him, but at that moment, a graceful figure moved much faster than them.

She rushed past the Police blockade and quickly approached Gao Ze.

"Husband, you're injured!"

Seeing Gao Ze's left arm and chest stained red with blood, the bloodstains dry, and his face pale, Li Qingyan's pearl-like tears fell.

There were no complaints, no wailing, no long, cute ramblings.

She just stared at the terrifying penetrating wound on his left arm, Li Qingyan silently shed tear after tear, her eyes filled with pain.

She was a constantly spoiled little girl in front of Gao Ze, and the more serene she was like this, the more intense the pain and concern hidden in the deep currents of her heart.
