Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 365 Book, you owe me another favor.

As the crowd scattered and fled from the restaurant, whether from shock or rage, Ren Guoqing, who rarely lost his composure, suddenly stiffened, his dazed eyes slowly widened, and his hand holding the car door trembled slightly.

Ren Guoqing, who was experienced in arrests, knew that if everything had gone smoothly for Chen Shu inside, the restaurant would never have been in such a chaotic situation, and the first to leave should have been Chen Shu and his group who were escorting the fugitive.

But the first thing to happen was a chaotic crowd that ran out first.

The conclusion is simple: the arrest failed!
Standing behind Ren Guoqing, Li Da was pacing anxiously, completely losing his composure: "It's over, it's all over! Something must have happened inside! What was Chen Shu thinking! Even arresting someone can cause trouble! The A-team is carrying guns! If something really happens, we're finished!"

"Don't talk nonsense! There was no gunshot just now!"

Although there were no gunshots, the situation remained dire. With the crowd rushing out in disarray, it was highly likely that Old A would slip through and escape.

Ren Guoqing suddenly came to his senses, his face grim. He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and called for backup.
"All officers, assemble immediately at the restaurant entrance! All officers, assemble immediately at the restaurant entrance!"

"On the way here, be sure to carefully check if there is any fugitive Old A beside you! On the way here, be sure to carefully check if there is any fugitive Old A beside you!"

He then helplessly put down the walkie-talkie, muttering to himself, "This is bad."

He squinted at the still chaotic restaurant entrance, feeling his heart pounding wildly.

Chen Shu was the young generation he valued most and had the highest hopes for. He didn't want to believe that Chen Shu would fail, but reality was right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

Meanwhile, Chen Chuan, who had been scolded by Chen Shu and was huddled in the alley, watched as the two criminal police officers who had been smoking and bragging with him received instructions from their walkie-talkies to leave, and a look of resentment appeared on his face.

He stubbed out his cigarette fiercely, slammed it against the wall, and said defiantly, "Something must have happened! Good thing! It's good that he always likes to lecture people, it's good for him to suffer a setback!"

Chen Chuan leaned against the wall of the alley with his arms crossed, gently shaking his head and tapping the wall with the back of his head.

Just then, a noise came from the restaurant window that was originally guarded by the two criminal police officers, and Chen Chuan couldn't help but look over.

A man with a thin face and a Buddha tattoo on his neck was seen clinging to the left and right frames of the window with both hands, his left foot on the windowsill, and half of his body sticking out from inside.

He hurriedly looked outside, only to meet Chen Chuan's eyes as he stood opposite him.

At this moment, his wary gaze was fierce, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey, making Chen Chuan feel intimidated.

Before the operation, Chen Chuan had not seen Lao A's photo, but at this point, even a fool would know that the person sneaking out of the window was definitely the target of their operation—the murderer Lao A.

Accustomed to a free and easy lifestyle, Chen Chuan faced criminals alone for the first time in his life. His mind went blank, and he could only stand still and stare blankly at them, completely unaware of how to react.

The moment Old A poked his head out of the window, under the dim streetlights, he saw a young man standing idly across the street. He was equally startled, realizing he was truly in trouble, and prepared to retreat and draw his gun for a desperate fight.

But seeing the other person leisurely leaning against the wall, just staring blankly at him without making a move or even saying a word, he belatedly realized that the other person was probably an ordinary person who just happened to be standing there.

He's very good at dealing with ordinary people.

He glared at the other person, then nimbly slipped out of the window and fled to the other side of the alley.

"oops!"

Old A seemed to have tripped over something, and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. After struggling for a few seconds, he got up and limped quickly outside.

Chen Chuan, who was stunned, only came to his senses when he watched Old A's figure disappear from sight.

He gritted his teeth and, while he could still see some people, followed them.

"Book, it seems you owe me another favor!" Inside the restaurant!
When Chen Shu and his companions broke free from the chaotic crowd and ran to the toilet, they saw that the iron window leading to the alley had already been opened, swaying precariously in the wind and making a creaking sound.

Chen Shu walked to the window with a livid face, leaned out and looked outside a few times.

The alley was deserted and desolate.

Xu Mingliang, who was following behind Chen Shu, leaned closer and said, "Brother Chen, could the fugitive have already been caught by the brothers guarding outside and taken to the street?"

Chen Shu frowned, looked down at the footprints on the windowsill, and said with a wry smile, "It can't be that fast. In such a short time, if they really caught us, we'd still be in the alley."

"The fact that neither Old A nor the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department are here can only mean that the officers who were originally guarding the window were attracted to the restaurant entrance by the group of people who escaped from gambling, and Old A just happened to run out from there."

"Where is he? Where is he? Have they caught him?" Li Meng, panting, rushed into the toilet, grabbed the doorframe, and shouted urgently.

Chen Shu remained silent.

Xu Mingliang turned around, looked at Li Meng, and said angrily, "They ran away! They all ran away!"

"They escaped? Impossible! I had people outside the window!" Li Meng stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Chen Shu, asking incredulously, "Where are the Old A men?"

Xu Mingliang pointed at Li Meng, who was standing there dumbfounded, and demanded, "Didn't we agree that our special police would be responsible for making the arrests? Why did you criminal investigation officers suddenly rush over here!"

"We...we..." Li Meng stammered, unable to speak.

The criminal police officers following behind Li Meng also lowered their heads in shame.

In this operation, their overconfidence and desire to seize credit led to the failure of the operation because they scared away the fugitive, Old A, at the crucial moment of the capture.

Everyone present could clearly see who bore this responsibility.

Xu Mingliang glared at him and roared, "Now that they've escaped, who's to blame! Who's to blame!"

Li Meng didn't answer Xu Mingliang. He turned around and asked in a trembling voice, "Secretary Chen, what should we do next?"

Chen Shu took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, looked at the dozen or so policemen standing in front of him, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice, "Mission failed, let's retreat."

After a while, Li Meng suddenly raised her hand and covered her face.

Seeing this, Wen Zhao, who was following behind, patted Li Meng on the shoulder, trying to say a few words of comfort, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

After all, they were indeed wrong in this matter.

At this moment, apart from the faint sounds of people running around outside, the toilet fell into a deathly silence.

"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."

Chen Shu took out his phone and answered it.

"Book, a white Honda sedan, license plate number Dong C0782E. The driver is probably Old A's accomplice. They're stuck in traffic on the provincial highway right now. You guys need to hurry! If you're late, I won't be able to hold on!"

In the quiet restroom, Chen Chuan's slightly excited voice, transmitted clearly through the phone's microphone, spoke fluently.
