Wang Guanshui and his cousin ultimately chose to surrender.
In terms of safety, the helicopter never landed, with snipers aboard ready to earn second-class merit for their actions.
What appeared to Wang Guanshui as an insurmountable rock face was easily scaled by a soldier who enjoyed climbing after winning a game of rock-paper-scissors. Equipped with rock spikes, hammers, nuts, and ropes, he climbed with the full camera crew filming, surrounded by admiration from all, before throwing down a rope to pull up a whole team of criminal policemen for the final arrest maneuver.
This maneuver was formally discussed by the temporary on-site command center, and designated personnel completed it according to the specified procedures.
Wang Guanshui and his cousin were placed separately, stripped completely of their clothes, with firearms confiscated by assigned personnel.
