Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 212 Female Reporter from Dongzhou TV Station

Zhongshan Police Station
Chen Shu parked his Santana in the courtyard. Although he had just caught a robber, he was still quite upset. He thought about asking someone on the police intranet forum about Xiao Yang's situation. With his head down, he quickly walked to his office on the third floor.

"Chen Shu, the crew from 'Yang Shuo News' will be here soon to interview us. It's about the robbery case you just arrested. Go upstairs, change into your police uniform, and come down. Wang Chongming is taking statements from someone; come along and take a look."

Chen Shu stopped at the top of the stairs and looked up to the side, where he saw Instructor Zeng Hong standing at the duty desk, smiling and calling out to him.

Xiao Wang, the dispatcher behind the front desk, also raised his thin arm and waved it happily twice.

Chen Shu nodded perfunctorily and went upstairs.

Zeng Hong saw through Chen Shu's expression and stared suspiciously at his back until he went upstairs before turning around and asking, "Xiao Wang, what's wrong with Chen Shu? Usually when he arrests someone and brings them back to the station, he goes straight to the detention room or interrogation room to find them. Why is he back in his office this time?"

Xiao Wang shook his head and said politely, "Teacher Zeng, I sit here answering the phone every day, how could I possibly know?"

Zeng Hong said seriously, "Aren't you the gossip king of our institute? How could you not know? You bunch of kids, don't try to hide it from me."

Xiao Wang blushed. His nickname, which he had been somewhat proud of, suddenly turned red with embarrassment when it came from the mouth of the unit's top leader.

Oh dear, if the instructor keeps an eye on this, it won't be easy to slack off at work anymore... He originally wanted to check the driving record of Chen Shu's Santana car today using the police car's GPS system, but he immediately stopped.

Xu Lei, a trainee police officer standing behind who was also curious, had sharp eyes and no worries. He pushed Xiao Wang aside, sat down, picked up the mouse, and started clicking.

After a moment, Xu Lei said, "Teacher Zeng, my senior brother went to Dongming Police Station early this morning."

The Dongming Police Station in Yangyi Subdistrict? Isn't that the station that handled the KTV case with Chen Shu last time? What's going on there?
He was somewhat puzzled, but Zeng Hong, who usually spent his free time in the office staring at the news on the websites of the municipal and branch bureaus, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

By the way, the branch office just issued a penalty notice last night. Police officer Yang from Dongming Police Station was disciplined for tipping off a KTV hostess!

Could this have anything to do with Xiao Shu? But if Xiao Shu got involved in something like this and was investigated and punished by the bureau, shouldn't I, as the instructor, be the first to know?
Isn't that the case? Or is it simply because he himself led Xiao Yang and the others to handle the KTV case, but they ended up being punished, and he feels guilty about it?
Zeng Hong couldn't help but glance at the dark stairwell where Chen Shu had left, and felt a pang of unease.

Zhongshan Police Station, First Floor Duty Hall
With a frown, Chen Shu followed Zeng Hong and Wang Chongming out of the case-handling area behind the front desk. He had previously assigned the case to Wang Chongming, and actually had the idea of ​​not wanting to be on camera, but he couldn't resist Zeng Hong's insistence and was still pulled out of the office.

"Smile! You'll be on TV soon, and your relatives and friends will see it!" Zeng Hong turned his head and whispered a reminder.

Wang Chongming looked over with some confusion.

Thinking of his parents at home, Chen Shu managed to force a smile.

At this moment, there were already four or five people with radio work badges hanging around their necks waiting in the hall. A young female reporter in a smart white suit was holding a microphone for interviews and a male colleague carrying a video camera was talking to each other. Two other people were standing not far away, each holding a fill light and an automatic flash.

Compared to the white suit, the female reporter's fair skin appeared particularly radiant. Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, exuding a gentle and refined air. Her smile was captivating, her eyes crinkling with a sweet, innocent charm, like a first love. Her smiling eyes always made the hearts of the people of Dongzhou City watching on television unable to stay still. "Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Zeng Hong stepped out from behind the counter and, seeing the television crew arrive, immediately put on an innocent smile and quickly walked to greet them.

The young female reporter, referred to as Teacher Zhang, also put down her work and responded with a smile, "Hello, instructor! I'm sorry to bother you again."

Zeng Hong laughed heartily: "Haha, you're too kind. We're the ones who have troubled you. Why don't you go to the conference room and sit down for a while?"

"No, no. Let's get started quickly, we have another scene to cover later."

Zeng Hong nodded and asked Wang Chongming to bring a copy of the prepared materials to Teacher Zhang.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, my name is Lao Wang. These are the case materials. Could you please take a look?"

Compared to the easygoing and natural Zeng Hong, Wang Chongming seemed somewhat at a loss when facing Teacher Zhang, whose gentleness was ingrained in her very being. The younger Teacher Zhang, on the other hand, was much more poised and confident.

She extended her fair and plump hand to take the documents and hand them to the photographer behind her. Then she shook hands with Wang Chongming gently and said with a smile, "Officer Wang, hello. My colleague and I will look at the documents first, and then we will come over to discuss the on-site interview with you."

"Okay, okay." Wang Chongming nodded repeatedly.

While the two went to a corner to discuss things, Zeng Hong gave Chen Shu and Wang Chongming a brief introduction to the young reporter Zhang Yang's resume and some information about "Yang Says News".

Although she looks young, the experienced female reporter Zhang Yang graduated from the Communication University of China with a top-notch major in broadcasting and hosting, a major that many CCTV hosts also come from.

Unlike other art schools, Huaguo Media has very high requirements; passing the professional exams is only the most basic requirement. Appearance is also essential, and academic scores must also meet certain minimum requirements.

The predecessor of "Yang Says the News," hosted by Zhang Yang, was actually an ordinary local news program on Dongzhou TV. Before Zhang Yang arrived, its ratings were low and its social impact was negligible. It was originally a peripheral program of the TV station, so it was handed over to Zhang Yang, a newcomer who had just graduated from university and joined the company, to host.

Unexpectedly, in her first program hosting "Yang Says News," the new female reporter Zhang Yang appeared on screen in a red dress. Her sweet and lovely appearance, fair skin, and clear and articulate voice contrasted sharply with the serious evening news, and Zhang Yang quickly became a household name in Dongzhou City.

As the conversation drew to a close, Zeng Hong noticed Zhang Yang walking towards them. He left with the words, "It's said that she intends to hand over the 'Yang Says News,' a program that focuses on everyday life, to newcomers, while she herself will be in charge of a new legal column," and then fell silent, smiling at the female reporter.

The look in his eyes was as if he had found a great treasure.

"26 years old, legal program."

Chen Shu squinted, showing a hint of interest in the reporter from Dongzhou TV who was only a year younger than him.
