Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 177 Cross-Regional Case Handling
The next day, the sun had just risen, and the air still carried the chill of the previous night.

Chen Shu sat in his office, browsing through EME PARTY's information on the intranet, still pondering Zhao Feifei's next move from the Public Security Brigade.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this policewoman is nicknamed "Sister Man" in the station. Based on his observations over the past few days, Chen Shu is certain that she is a shrewd and calculating woman who plans ten steps ahead before acting.

"Jingle Bell!"

Chen Shu took out his phone, glanced at the screen, and answered the call. Before he could even say hello, the person on the other end excitedly spoke first.

"Director Chen, Old Wang called me last night to apologize! He just came to my office with a bag of fruit to have a heart-to-heart talk. It seems he really realizes his mistake." Yan Chenxi was overjoyed on the phone.

"I've truly come to understand what it's like to be in a cage," Chen Shu responded with "Mmm."

Yan Chenxi talked a lot on the phone, and only at the very end did she stammer a thank you.

"You're welcome. We'll need your help with the funding for our security team from now on." Chen Shu replied calmly on the phone, "You're welcome."

Chen Shu had seen far too many bullies like Lao Wang in his years as a police officer. People who were truly determined to do something rarely said a word of nonsense; a few fixed glances were enough to serve as a real warning.

In fact, it's extremely rare for Yan Chenxi, as a grid leader, to be so publicly bullied by her subordinates in a government unit that values ​​harmony, at least superficially. The main reason is that her true strengths and weaknesses were exposed and understood by them.

When people first meet, they're all polite and courteous, right? No one would bully you right away, because people won't bully you if they don't know you. So why would they start bullying you and disrespecting you one day?
That's because they've seen your cards; you've become transparent to them. So, if someone says disrespectful things to you or behaves in a way that makes you uncomfortable, it's not like you just met. It's the result of your interactions and gradual development through mutual interaction and negotiation.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shu was hesitating whether to call Zhao Feifei directly to ask about the situation when Zeng Hong pushed open the door and walked in, looking preoccupied.

"Teacher Zeng, what's the matter?" Chen Shu asked curiously, getting up to greet him.

The two sat down on the sofa by the office door.

Zeng Hong asked, "Yesterday I saw the video from your body camera, and that person said you were a protector. You need to talk to me about this."

Chen Shu was secretly pleased, realizing that this was the matter. But then he realized that Zeng Hong's graying temples and the wrinkles on his brow from years of hard work made him feel guilty.

So he told Zeng Hong about the case he had investigated with Zhao Feifei from the branch's public security brigade over the past few days, and also mentioned Lao Wang's instigation of Yan Chenxi, but he didn't mention Chen Chuan.

Zeng Hong listened and nodded. He was also a veteran police officer with rich experience. After Chen Shu finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter, he gave advice: "I also think that Zhao Feifei will come to you for help again. However, whether you do it or not is up to you. My advice is not to let others use you as a tool."

Chen Shu first recalled the faith that Zhao Feifei had revealed when the three of them sat in the car the night before. Then he recalled that the cause of the KTV case was that grid leader Yan Chenxi was used as a pawn by her own subordinate Lao Wang, who dug up her past without any reason.

He couldn't help but smile: "Teacher Zeng, it doesn't really matter whether I'm a gunman or not, as long as I'm willing."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Teacher Zeng! Teacher Zeng!"

Suddenly, there was a series of urgent knocks and shouts coming from the corridor outside.

Chen Shuxin knew something was wrong and rushed outside. He saw the dispatcher, Xiao Wang, standing outside the instructor's office, anxiously banging on the door.

"What is it?" Chen Shu asked.

Xiao Wang turned to look at Chen Shu and Zeng Hong, who followed him out, and quickly said, "Officer Jin and Officer Lei are arguing in the duty room! Officer Jin even took out his pistol!"

"What!" Xiao Wang's words were like a thunderclap. Chen Shu and Zeng Hong looked at each other and both showed intense emotional fluctuations.

"Let's go!" Zeng Hong ordered, and the three of them immediately ran towards the front desk on the first floor.

The three rushed to the scene and saw community police officer Jin Jianguo, dressed in full police gear, standing outside the front desk, glaring angrily at Lao Lei, who was also a community police officer sitting inside.

Zeng Hong entered the duty room, glanced at the positions of both sides, and found that neither of them had a gun, which relieved him slightly. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Jin Jianguo's holster on his belt was unhooked.

Having escaped capture at the scene, Zeng Hongqiang suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on with you two?"

Jin Jianguo slammed his hand on the front desk with a "smack!" He gritted his teeth in hatred but couldn't utter a word.

Old Lei also turned his head to the side and didn't say anything.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense.

Chen Shu saw that nothing serious had happened and knew that this was not the place to talk.

First, this place is the face of the police station, and members of the public or colleagues might walk in at any time, which would be extremely embarrassing if they saw it. Second, the command centers of the branch bureau and the municipal bureau have direct surveillance cameras pointing at the duty desks of each police station, so this incident must have been recorded, but it is unknown whether anyone saw it.

So no matter what, having so many people gathered together is definitely not good; it's likely to attract attention!
He first dispersed some onlookers, then pulled up Lao Lei, who was sitting, and coaxed him to the interrogation room behind the front desk.

Since Chen Shu entered the Sun Yat-sen Institute, everyone has called him Lao Lei for so many years. Before taking the civil service exam, he was a middle school physics teacher.

I was already in my thirties when I took the police exam. Over the years, I've done a lot of solid work on the front lines of the station.

Although he has never been promoted, his work attitude is indeed excellent. He has never used his age to shirk his responsibilities. He has basically completed all the required targets and tasks.

After the two sat down, Chen Shu asked with a smile, "Old Lei, what happened between you two?"

Just like when he was at the front desk, Lao Lei still turned his head to look at the corner of the room, snorted, and didn't say anything.

Chen Shu walked to the water dispenser on the side of the room, filled two glasses with water, placed them in front of Lao Lei, and joked, "Lao Lei, it's okay if you have a conflict with Jin Jianguo, but don't take it out on me. We have a good relationship."

In previous years, one was a public security police officer and the other was a community police officer. Chen Shu and Lao Lei didn't have much interaction on a daily basis, and would just nod to each other when they met.

However, Lao Lei thought that since Chen Shu was promoted to deputy director recently, he had indeed taken care of the older colleagues in the institute in detail when he occasionally led missions.

Although no one said it, everyone saw it.

Old Lei muttered, "I took care of the factories in his jurisdiction."

"Done?"

"Didn't the institute recently have quotas for the storage of hazardous materials?"

Chen Shu realized that the whole thing started because Lao Lei had punished the factory in Jin Jianguo's jurisdiction.

Hey! What a coincidence!
Even within the same police station, there are cases handled across different regions!
