Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 102 Blessings 996
At noon, a hotel next to the Jiuping City Public Security Bureau.

Wang Chongming burst into room 804, whose door was ajar.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I heard a commotion coming from inside.

"Damn it, you fatso, are you watching the show on the road?! Is it entertaining?!"

"You brat! I'm clearing the minion wave, the tower's almost gone!"

"Boom!"

"Damn it! You big-breasted bastard, why did you kick me?!"

Is this an e-sports room?
Wang Chongming was full of questions, thinking he had rushed into the wrong room, so he took a few steps back and looked at the sign on the door.

"Room 804, is everything alright?"

He took out his phone and compared the information for a while before calling Chen Shu.

A man emerged from the room, his face contorted in a grimace: "Brother Wang, this is it."

Looking at the man with panda eyes in front of him, Wang Chongming was both amused and exasperated: "Chen Shu, where is Ma Zhongyun?"

Chen Shu shrugged: "Inside."

"Aren't you tired? Why don't you split into two shifts to watch over him?" Wang Chongming knew that they had stayed up all night to capture Ma Zhongyun.

Chen Shu gave a thumbs-up and pointed into the room: "With this, could you sleep?"

"Haha! Double Kill!"

"Your support stole my brother's kill! You fatso, where's your face?!"

"Boom!"

"Fuck you! You big-chested guy! You kicked me again!"

The noise started again.

Wang Chongming was speechless, and silently took out his signature "555" brand cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Chen Shu.

Chen Shu suddenly missed the taste of the cigarette, took it, and lit it: "Ma Zhongyun's family sent over a lot of local specialties while I was away. The things aren't very valuable, but his house is far away, and I'm too lazy to make the trip. It would be a waste to throw them away. Do you think we should just accept them and deposit a few hundred yuan into his account when we send him to the detention center?"

Wang Chongming, who was used to being cautious, was in a dilemma. He didn't want to accept gifts from his partner, nor did he want to send money. However, since it was Chen Shu who brought it up, he finally nodded.

"Brother Wang, you watch over him for a while. I'm going to catch up on some sleep next door. We'll take Ma Zhongyun's statement later this afternoon." Chen Shu patted Wang Chongming's shoulder, and without waiting for a reply, went straight to room 806 next door and threw himself hard onto the bed.

Awesome! I'm going to sleep for three days and three nights!
At 4 PM, the case-handling area of ​​the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Jiuping City Public Security Bureau

Wang Chongming and Chen Shu sat in the interrogation room and began taking the first statement from Ma Zhongyun.

According to regulations, fugitives who are wanted online should be interrogated within 24 hours of being arrested by the police.

Chen Shu sat to the side, having already booked his train ticket for 10 a.m. the next day. For the rest of the time, he sat up straight and played the role of a mere tool.

The case was simple and clear, and Ma Zhongyun confessed readily. Wang Chongming completed the statement in just half an hour. He also took the initiative to handle the subsequent signing and fingerprinting.

Wang Chongming is 34 years old and has been working at Zhongshan Police Station for over ten years since being recruited from the public. He is known at the station for his steady and reliable handling of cases, and he is particularly skilled at and enjoys handling cases involving a large number of people.

Last time, Chen Shu and he worked together on a case involving the operation of a casino, and they arrested four people who met the criteria for criminal detention. The fines and confiscations were also completed smoothly.

Generally speaking, police officers at local police stations are reluctant to handle cases involving a large number of people and complex matters. The reason is simple: there are too few police officers and too many personnel, making it too easy for something to go wrong.

Everyone preferred to spend more time and gradually meet the targets one by one. Chen Shu hadn't asked Wang Chongming about this, but he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Wang Chongming is a good family man. He usually avoids attending company gatherings whenever possible.

Occasionally, when Chen Shu contacted him and asked where he was, he would either say he was at home or out with his family; there was no third option.

Therefore, Chen Shu guessed that Wang Chongming's reason for handling such a big case was probably to be able to spend more time with his family.

As long as the police officers in the public security team meet their targets and show up on time when they are on duty, it doesn't matter if they don't come to work on other days. If the leaders or inspectors ask, they can just say that they are investigating clues outside.

In fact, Wang Chongming had several opportunities for promotion. But he seemed to have figured things out and didn't want to bother with it. After being rejected a few times, he just gave up.

As he grew older, he completely abandoned any ambition, only willing to complete the work assigned by his employer and the quotas he was given. Everything else went to his family.

After working for a long time, Wang Chongming had almost finished organizing the interrogation records. The two of them decided to take everyone to a slightly nicer hotel nearby to have a meal of local specialties, so that the trip would not be in vain.

After taking Ma Zhongyun to the Jiuping City Detention Center, the group, following the recommendations of the mobile app "Dianping," headed straight for a well-known local hotel in a lively atmosphere.

Cuihua Hotel
In the private room, Chen Shu, sporting slightly lighter panda eyes, clinked glasses with Wang Chongming, who was sitting next to him and also sporting panda eyes.

"Brother Wang, even though this is cola, we can't break the rules. Cheers!" Chen Shu downed it in one gulp.

Wang Chongming, with a bitter face, also downed the drink in one gulp.

Chen Shu knew that Wang Chongming valued health and disliked alcohol and carbonated drinks. He had only made a small joke because he owed Wang Chongming a favor for this arrest in another location.

Chen Shu picked up his chopsticks and urged with a smile, "Brother Wang, try the local specialties. It won't be a waste of our long journey."

On the round table, the main dish placed in the center was a stewed live fish from the Songhua River. A large iron pot contained a large fish, pork belly, wide rice noodles, cabbage, and other ingredients, stewed with mugwort, chili peppers, and soybean paste. The taste was completely different from that of southern cuisine.

Five or six side dishes were also placed near the main course: braised whelk with pork, stir-fried pork intestines, a platter of braised dishes, deep-fried pork tenderloin, and baked shrimp.

Zhu Chaoran and Xiaoqiang ate with gusto, their mouths smeared with oil. Xu Lei took out his phone, reading a novel while picking up his chopsticks, equally carefree.

Chen Shu glanced at Wang Chongming's dark circles, which were even more pronounced than his own, and said apologetically, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry about lunch today, I really couldn't stay up any longer."

Wang Chongming took paternity leave to be with his wife during childbirth, and he must have stayed up several nights in the days leading up to it. He booked a flight overnight and rushed over early the next morning after the baby was born.

He was actually very tired too.

Wang Chongming smiled apologetically and held up a two: "I've already thanked you twice for your help with the casino case last time and the cross-provincial arrest this time. Why are you still saying these things?"

Chen Shu grinned: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Police stations are busy with many tasks, and conflicts often arise between work and family. It is common for colleagues to help each other out.

Work may be ruthless, but people are compassionate.

The private room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

Everyone has a family. Thinking about balancing family and work, and being good at both, is wishful thinking for a police officer.

To put it jokingly, the social scourge of "996" might actually be a blessing for police officers at local police stations.

At least I can sleep comfortably every night, and I get a day off every week.

However, in this world, everyone is having a hard time.

Chen Shu picked up the cup in front of him, swirled it a couple of times, and drank it all in one gulp, using water as wine.
