latent syndrome

Chapter 15
The hazy sky is as hopeless as a drugged sex worker, billowing clouds cover the sky, heavy rain is coming, and cold winds are blowing.

A majestic building 400 meters high.

Its roof is large enough to overlook the entire city.

Also because of this astonishing height, the wind was strong, and the ears were filled with endless howls.

However, in such a dangerous situation, there was someone standing on the edge of the roof, the hem of his clothes fluttered in the gust of wind, and it seemed that he would fall down at any moment.

In such a dangerous situation, his burnt face did not show any fluctuations in expression. He just blocked a female staff member in front of him and grabbed her neck with one hand.

She was just an ordinary financial practitioner, her exquisite eye makeup had already melted into tears, and the faint choking sound disappeared in the cold wind.

"Don't get any closer, I'll kill this woman."

Cohen's hand emitted a terrifying high-pressure hot air. As long as he wanted to, he could push this woman off a tall building, or melt her.

Eugene was confronting Cohen, and the gun sights had been aimed at Cohen, but he did not pull the trigger for a long time.

When Colin broke through the fire door and arrived, everything was as he expected.

Driven into a desperate situation, Cohen chose the most despicable means and took an ordinary person hostage.

But neither Colin nor Eugene is an expert in negotiating, and they don't know how to speak.

Electricity during the day.

The free lightning reverberated and surged on the cloudy clouds, and suddenly, continuous torrential rain shattered and exploded hysterically in the city, making fragmented but hearty mad noises.

The long silence and the bad weather made the female hostage's fear deeper, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

Colin did not expect this to happen.

"Aren't you a soldier? You used to fight for the Freedom Alliance. Look at you, you have fallen to this point."

Colin shouted loudly, he didn't want to fall short at the last moment, trying to use Cohen's military status to arouse his remaining sense of honor.

Cohen's hand trembled slightly, then clenched into a fist.

Eugene put down his gun and pinned all his hopes on Colin.

"The Liberty Alliance..." Cohen paused, his voice becoming colder and colder, "The Liberty Alliance betrayed us, those politicians did not fulfill any promises at all, did not provide support money, and did not arrange any jobs. The newspapers compared us to killing people." The machine, the rapist, the family will be ashamed of it. I've been wrong all along, we're only going to fight, and my fight isn't over yet!"

His voice pierced through the heavy rain, and he pinched the hostage's hand even harder, drawing out a terrifying bloodstain, overflowing with scarlet blood.

Eugene took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, Colin's words had the opposite effect. She was a little anxious. If this continues, the situation of the hostages will only become more and more unfavorable.

She couldn't bear to let a girl die like this. She looked like she was only in her early 20s, quite immature, younger than herself, just an intern.

"Tell me, what conditions do you have, and what should I do, so that you are willing to let go of the hostages."

Ke Lin understands that what this man has experienced is too tragic. I am afraid there is nothing to shake his heart, only to negotiate conditions.

"I want you to blow up this building, will you agree?"

Cohen made an incredible offer.

"You know this is impossible. You have killed many people, and you also know in your heart that this matter will not be good. You are also a patient with submerged disease. You work with SCT, so you must know some inside information. As long as you provide clues, we will We will consider lenient treatment, as long as the information is important enough, it does not rule out the possibility of you surviving."

Although Colin can't decide these things, this is all he can say now.

"If you kill me and the hostages directly, I will still have a little respect for your countermeasures."

"Looking at it now, you are nothing more than the eagle dogs of profit. The crimes I committed can hang me at least ten times."

"You have no respect for the law at all, because you are the lawgiver."

"Just as the strong must rule the weak, so the wise must fool the stupid."

"It's all a conspiracy, all of this, all of it, it's all a conspiracy."

Cohen's expression was distorted, almost insane.

The thunder, the out-of-control situation and the disorganized words made the two of Ke Lin even more nervous and their breathing became more rapid.

From the first news sent by Grey, Cohen had contact with Diprow, and Dibrow must have said something to him that changed his temperament drastically.

"No matter what Di Yu told you, he is just using you, you and them, and SCT are not the same."

It wasn't until now that Colin realized what a terrifying guy he met at the convenience store that day.

"That kind of thing, of course I know, Di Kuo is just a mad dog, a freak."

"We're just taking advantage of each other."

"But what he said was true."

"It's a domestication, an invisible domestication."

"I will not agree with you."

"You must agree to my request, or I will kill her."

Cohen suddenly jumped up, lifted the girl up into the air, and hung it outside the roof. The fear and coercion generated by the height of 400 meters is not something ordinary people can bear. Looking down from this height, even those so-called 80 meters Left and right, the so-called tall buildings are nothing but miniature objects the size of a box.

The wind was howling, the rain was pouring heavily, and the extreme fear made the girl scream.

"Let her go, we will agree to whatever we ask."

Eugene was too anxious to speak in a panic.

"I want you to clear all my criminal information and find my son. I will leave North America forever and never come back. This is my final condition."

Cohen said coldly.

"No problem, but can you put her down first?"

Eugene could only answer in this way.

at this time.

The girl's cell phone rang in mid-air.

The heartstrings of the two of Eugene were tense. Many times the murderer didn't want to kill, and was in a state of high tension. Any alarm could lead to excessive killing.

Cohen lowered the girl and made her stand safely on the roof.

But the ringing was too loud, Cohen hesitated, let her answer the phone, but still clamped her wrist tightly to prevent her from running away.

Due to the distance, Colin couldn't hear the voice over there, and didn't know the content of the call.

After half a minute.

call ended.

Do not know why.

Suddenly, Cohen held his forehead, as if he was in some kind of great pain, his gait was a little staggered, he was muttering something, and he grabbed the girl's hand and let go.

Almost immediately, the girl ran towards her, and Eugene went up to meet her with great excitement, hugged her tightly, and comforted her.

Although Colin didn't know what was going on, it was really too jumpy and incomprehensible, but he immediately raised his submachine gun and pointed it at Cohen.

"I understand, I understand...you will never do that, you will not agree to any of my demands, just a hostage can't do this at all."

"You are always in control."

"forever."

Cohen's tone was extremely desperate, and his pupils had lost focus.

"Raise your hands high, come slowly!"

Colin issued an order, and he no longer had any chips in his hand.

"I already know what to do, Mr. Detective."

I saw Cohen backing away slowly, and finally fell on his back, falling from the edge of the roof.

Colin didn't expect him to do this at all, and froze in place.

"Who called you and what did you say?"

Eugene was extremely puzzled.

"It's my dad. I'm also in the financial industry. He saw on TV that the inmate of the central business district bombing was found. It was a man named Cohen. He was very worried about me."

The girl hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and she was crying.

Ke Lin stood on the edge of the roof, looking for where Cohen fell.

The rain drenched his hair, and he searched for Cohen with great concentration.

Suddenly, he understood everything. In order to prevent Cohen from escaping, Colin asked the police to issue a wanted warrant on the way here.

Eliminate all criminal information?
He cared so much about what his kids thought, and that news story, the spread of information, shattered the last of his convictions.

No.

Probably more than that.

Maybe it's just that there is another father who is waiting for the child to go back.

It rained heavily.

Since the place where he was standing was too high, it was the top of the stock exchange, so Colin tried to look at Cohen's body from here.

But he couldn't see anything.

Can't see any splashed blood, can't see any broken flesh.

All I could see was a gray, endless city.
