Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 180 Crackdown on Business
On a quiet weekend night, the moon was bright and the stars were few. There was no wind, and although it was the dead of winter, it did not affect people's revelry and peaceful celebrations.

Outside the Zhongshan Police Station on a corner of Gongyuan Road, a row of various police cars was parked, mostly the common Changhe Suzuki and Volkswagen Santana. In addition to the blue and white police cars, there were also a few police vehicles parked there, including black Santanas.

The small police station courtyard was now packed with police officers; a rough count revealed more than forty of them! Some were carrying equipment, while others were exchanging cigarettes and greetings. Depending on their attire, some were wearing formal police uniforms, while others were in casual clothes.

It was clearly the setup for a major police operation.

In an office on the third floor of the office building, Chen Shu sat at his desk with a serious expression, looking at police officer Li Chaoyang, auxiliary police officers Xiao Qiang, Zhu Chaoran, and Xiao Lin sitting on the sofa in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"The specific work arrangements were discussed in the meeting room earlier. I called you here mainly to emphasize one thing. Tonight's operation is a raid on a business KTV. There are many very young and beautiful women there who are good at socializing and lying. Just remember one thing: follow orders in everything you do, and don't believe a single word they say."

Xiao Qiang: "Damn it! Chief Chen, don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut tonight and won't say a word! I'll do whatever you tell me to do! Leave the women to me!"

Zhu Chaoran: "Brother Shu, I'll listen to you!"

Seeing the lively atmosphere, Li Chaoyang, who had handled prostitution cases for two years, even started reciting a rap with a smile: "My father gambles, my mother is sick, my younger brother is studying, I haven't been doing this for long and I'm not familiar with it yet, my brothers and sisters all depend on me, my business failed and I have to pay off loans, my ex-husband is abusive and a gambler, I have no income while raising my child, so I have no choice but to embark on a path of no return!"

Zhongshan Institute, compound

Two men and one woman, dressed in plain clothes, stood on the steps in front of the office building, looking down at the police force poised to go, all of them full of high spirits.

Chen Shu gave a brief speech, and everyone boarded the reserved vehicles one by one, following the plan that had been arranged in the meeting room.

The last four were Chen Shu, Zhao Feifei, Xu Chaofan, and his sidekick, rookie policeman Xiao Yang.

Zhao Feifei frowned: "Are you sure you're just going to rush in like this? You didn't even bother to put everyone's phones away, sigh!"

The branch's public security brigade oversees all entertainment venues in the district, and it's common for gray areas to exist within the team. Therefore, before each large-scale operation, officers' mobile phones are temporarily confiscated, and they are only issued dedicated police walkie-talkies. If the brigade leadership issues a request, the officers below must comply, regardless of their complaints.

After all, whether or not you get promoted isn't up to the brigade leaders. Whether or not they can transfer you to a local police station is a different matter.

In reality, all of this is just superficial formality. If the people below really figure out the target and are determined to tip them off, in today's age of advanced communication, simply controlling mobile phones is not enough to stop them. For example, smartwatches and smart bracelets.

From the police station's perspective, the situation is different. For a leader like Chen Shu, who was recently promoted from a regular police officer, confiscating officers' cell phones before handling cases demonstrates a clear distrust of the officers, which is extremely damaging to morale. Over time, this can easily lead to resistance or apathy among officers.

Furthermore, police stations are at the very bottom of the public security system. When officers are dissatisfied or even openly confront their superiors, the station leaders have no recourse but to swallow their anger. Since police officers are on the civil service payroll, their superiors cannot dismiss them.

Chen Shu stood on the steps, dressed in a black tracksuit, his posture upright and his demeanor impressive. He smiled and comforted her, "Sister Feifei, there are so many bars and KTVs on Beitang Street, apart from a few of us, no one knows that tonight's target will be EME."

Xu Chaofan chimed in, "We Dongming Police Station are all country bumpkins. Not many of us have ever been to Beitang Street. It's no problem."

New police officer Xiao Yang shook his head hastily: "Yes, yes, I've never been there! I heard the girls there are especially beautiful!"

Watching the three brothers joking around, Zhao Feifei said helplessly, "Let's go, we'll probably be up all night. We agreed beforehand that neither of you would answer any of your calls tonight." "My phone died, how can I answer calls?" Chen Shu said with a smile.

Xu Chaofan glanced at Chen Shu, who seemed "timid and cowardly," and said, "Heh heh, I'd like to see which one of the most clueless people in the bureau would dare to compete with me for this quota."

When Xu Chaofan received Chen Shu's call and learned that they were planning to jointly crack down on K — EME PARTY, a high-end internet celebrity business that had emerged in Dongzhou in the past two years, he was so excited that he almost twisted his ankle.

In his own words, although Dongming Police Station ranked second in the overall number of crackdowns, it didn't have any particularly outstanding achievements to show for itself. In this operation, under Xu Chaofan's arrangement, Dongming Police Station deployed six police officers and over thirty auxiliary police officers besides himself, making them practically the "major shareholders."

After leaving Zhongshan Police Station, the four got into a black Santana car and drove towards Beitang Street.

When the car had driven a distance and was waiting at a traffic light, the driver turned his head and greeted Zhao Feifei, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Sitting in the back row, Chen Shu took the opportunity to introduce Xu Chaofan: "Chen Chuan, a police officer in the city's technical investigation department. He's my classmate from police academy, and he's a pretty good guy."

Xu Chaofan is a police officer recruited from the public. The biggest difference between him and police officers from academia is that when they enter the public security system, they all have to start from scratch and work hard on their own. Unlike academia graduates, who have a group of classmates from their hometown who have been working together for many years, and senior brothers and junior brothers who can always stick together.

"I didn't expect that our case would involve technical investigation! Thank you for your hard work! I'm Xu Chaofan from Dongming Police Station in Zhengming District. Which technical investigation team are you from, brother?" Xu Chaofan's eyes lit up. He had misunderstood Chen Chuan's purpose in coming. In his heart, he felt that the bigger the commotion in the case, the stronger the publicity effect would be later.

Before Chen Chuan could answer, Chen Shu chimed in with a smile, "He's our investigator. He's the one who found out about the illegal activities within EME."

New recruit Xiao Yang looked at him with admiration: "I heard that the Technical Investigation Detachment hasn't recruited any new people for many years. You're really awesome for getting in! I heard that our criminal investigation team had remote wireless charging technology more than ten years ago, specifically for eavesdropping through mobile phones! Is that the technology you used to find out what was going on in the private room?"

Xu Chaofan clicked his tongue twice, his tone becoming increasingly casual as they spoke, completely lacking the airs of a deputy director: "Impressive, the technology these days is really amazing. Brother, what technology did you use during your reconnaissance? You didn't use thermal imaging to see the movements through the wall, and then..."

Xu Chaofan got more and more excited as he talked, clearly a seasoned womanizer.

Chen Chuan opened his eyes wide and turned to look at the two like-minded people behind him, then said with delight, "Your ideas are both pretty good! We can really give it a try when we have time tomorrow!"

He frowned and shook his head, saying, "Sigh! The boss definitely won't approve it!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Feifei snorted coldly.

The car fell silent immediately.

After a while, Xu Chaofan seemed to remember something, turned to the bright-eyed rookie policeman Xiao Yang beside him and reprimanded him:
"Once you're inside, don't keep thinking about persuading people to reform!"

Last night, Chapter 182 was released and then immediately taken down after just over an hour. It was awful. It's currently being revised, and some very interesting parts may be missing TT.

I suggest everyone watch it as soon as possible in the future!
