Shortly before one in the afternoon, a police SUV with sirens wailing sped away from the Phoenix Tail Mountain Villa District, heading for the Binhai City District.
Following behind the police car was a red Beetle.
Inside the police car, Yan Ziruo accompanied Yan Feifan in the back seat. From the front passenger seat, Zheng Libing briefed the pair on the hostage situation.
"A family, Zhu Feng and Liu Hong, have been running an unlicensed tutoring class out of their home on the fifteenth floor of Building 7, Unit 1, in the Fanhualili District."
"This morning, they were tutoring five elementary school students at home."
"Around ten-thirty this morning, a resident of the same district, Yv Yunzhi, broke into their home carrying a boning knife, a ten-liter bucket of gasoline, and several cans of insecticide."
