Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 207 Xiao Yang's Incident
Inside the police car on duty, next to Chanyun Shopping Mall on Jiefang Street.

After handing the girl over to her distant relative to see her off, Chen Shu sat alone in the car, reclined the passenger seat, and lay down, recalling the girl's whispered words before she left, lost in thought.

"I wasn't the one who did wrong, and I shouldn't be the one who deserves to die, so why am I the one standing on top? Because I'm kind, I'm cowardly, and I don't dare to confront the people who hurt me. I can only escape reality by hurting myself."

Judging from this girl's situation, something must have happened at school a few years ago.

Judging from the girl's expression when she left, she probably won't cause any more trouble in the short term.

School matters are not under the jurisdiction of the police; no matter how chaotic things get, parents and teachers have to step in to coordinate and handle them.

It's not the police's turn, no matter how you look at it.

Unless, the child encounters people in society.

I'll check that child's resume later.
"Bang! Bang!"

The car lurched slightly, and someone opened the door and climbed in.

"I'll award you a second-class merit this time," the man said casually, as if it were no big deal.

In Dongzhou City, three consecutive years of being recognized as an outstanding civil servant is equivalent to a third-class merit award. In grassroots units like police stations, it's normal to go several years without seeing a single second-class merit award.

The second-class merit award, approved and issued by the provincial department, is considered the highest personal honor for grassroots police officers. Leaving aside the monetary rewards, in addition to the 10,000 yuan cash prize, the unit directly arranges for the children of police officers to attend the best schools in the region for kindergarten, primary, and junior high school.

"Whatever, Professor Zeng."

Chen Shu hadn't thought that far ahead; he was still pondering the girl's school while lying in his seat, somewhat absent-minded.

"Not hurt?"

Chen Shu nodded, stretched his limbs slightly, and checked on the other person to indicate that he was fine.

Zeng Hong looked around and immediately became displeased, his face hardening into a poker expression: "Do you know why Li Meng keeps receiving second-class merit awards? It's because he gets injured! He always gets injured during major cases, and serious ones at that!"

Chen Shu was dumbfounded. Why was this involving people from the Criminal Investigation Department?

"You're just too honest! In our public security system, those who cry get fed. You jumped from the eighth floor today, how could you not get hurt?"

Amused by Zeng Hong's expression, Chen Shu temporarily put aside the girl's matter and leaned closer to him, asking, "Teacher Zeng, are you upset?"

Zeng Hong shoved Chen Shu aside, turned the car key to start the car, and pulled the handbrake: "Your sister-in-law works at the First Affiliated Hospital. I'm taking you to get a checkup now. I suspect you might have a concussion. Oh, you can't even speak anymore, it must be a concussion!"

Chen Shu: Concussion? ???
Zeng Hong: "I'll arrange a VIP ward for you, and I'll also follow up with the publicity and reports. The bureau leaders will definitely come to offer their condolences!"

Chen Shu: Special ward? ???

The police car sped off, smoke billowing from its rear.

Yan Chenxi sat by the flower bed downstairs in the Chanyun Shopping Mall for a long time, but the man didn't come over to offer any words of comfort.

Several groups of firefighters, complete strangers to each other, arrived!
Hey!
I spent ages rubbing my sprained right ankle with my left and right hands, and waited for ages, but then the police car just sped away.

Is this person still a human being?

The evening breeze swept along the roadside. Yan Chenxi, who had always been a privileged young woman, had never suffered such humiliation. If Zhu Chaoran hadn't been sitting foolishly beside her, tears would have already streamed down her beautiful eyes. After all, she was the grid manager!
"Ding ding."

The unique WeChat notification sound rang out.

Yan Chenxi pretended to be nonchalant as she picked up her phone and swiped it. After a moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Knowing that the other person was also concerned about her foot injury, she finally smiled through her tears.

Merry Christmas Eve! Thanks for your hard work today! I know a great massage parlor; I'll send you the owner's WeChat later. If you don't mind, how about we grab some late-night snacks together tonight?

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Yan Chenxi straightened up and said to Zhu Chaoran, who was sitting dumbfounded to the side, "Let's go, Fatty, let's go back to the grid and get ready. We'll be out patrolling soon!"

Zhu Chaoran asked, bewildered, "Patrol? Grid leader, your foot?"

Xiao Lin quickly interrupted, "Grid leader, shall we drive electric patrol cars on the road?"

Yan Chenxi stretched out her hands and pressed them down. At that moment, she transformed back into that spirited young cadre, the head of the Liming Grid at the section level.

He said in a deep voice, "One electric patrol car, plus two electric scooters, all on the road."

Even if Zhu Chaoran was stupid, he understood something and started clapping his hands vigorously next to Xiao Lin.

Yan Chenxi raised an eyebrow. "Oh, we patrol tonight too! And we have late-night snacks!"

The following morning, at the Zhongshan Police Station, third-floor office.
Chen Shu frowned as he stared at a notice on the branch office's intranet displayed on his computer monitor.

"Due to Yang Yang, a police officer from Dongming Police Station, abusing his position to tip off Qiu, who works at an entertainment venue, he received a severe warning within (D) and was suspended from public office."

Xiao Yang, are you tipping us off?

Could Qiu be the KTV hostess that Li Chaoyang saw in the surveillance video being let go by Xiao Yang when we were handling the EME PARTY?

The thought struck Chen Shu like a thunderclap.

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes glazed over, his mind filled with the image of Xiao Yang standing at attention and saluting as they worked together on cases. He couldn't process this earth-shattering news for a long time.

At that time, the branch's public security brigade, Zhongshan Police Station, and Dongming Police Station were jointly handling the case. During the on-site inspection of EME, Li Chaoyang, who was in charge of supervising at the KTV front desk, discovered through EME's video surveillance at the company that Xiao Yang, who was guarding the back door, had allowed people to leave without permission. He immediately reported this to Chen Shu, who was in charge of the team.

After much deliberation, Chen Shu kept the matter to himself and did not inform Xu Chaofan, the deputy director of the Dongming Police Station, who was directly under Xiao Yang's supervision.

At this moment, upon seeing the notice of punishment for Xiao Yang, Chen Shu felt guilty and naturally connected the matter to himself.

No, I have to ask Xu Chaofan about this. Chen Shu made a quick decision, got up, ran to the front desk to get the Santana keys, and headed straight to Dongming Police Station.

It was still morning working hours, and after seeing the notice, Chen Shu did not contact Xu Chaofan in advance. He simply drove to Dongming Police Station as quickly as possible.

Upon arriving at the institute, he rushed into Xu Chaofan's office on the second floor.

With his square face and triangular eyes, Xu Chaofan, who was reclining on the sofa, felt a great weight lifted from his heart the moment Chen Shu entered. He let out a long sigh of relief, though his eyes were still filled with self-blame and anxiety.

"Brother Xu, how did things turn out like this?"

Chen Shu looked grim, and he had a lot to say on the way.
