Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 407 Chen Shu's Little Scheme

The 400-meter obstacle course was one of the most important basic training subjects in the military in the early years, and the police department, which was transformed from the military into public security, naturally inherited this historical tradition.

In this event, various obstacles will be set up on a 100-meter track. Participants are required to navigate through all the obstacles in two round trips, covering a total distance of 400 meters, and return to the starting point within a specified time.

The first 100 meters is a sprint, with no obstacles in between;
The second 100-meter obstacle course includes five-step stakes, jumping over deep pits, flying over low boards, climbing high benches, crossing high and low platforms, climbing ladders, climbing a log bridge, high board walls, and crawling through barbed wire.
The third 100-meter obstacle course consists of jumping over low stake nets, passing over high wall panels, crawling through bridge piers, passing over ladders, passing over high and low platforms, crawling through low wall panels, going down into a deep pit (2 meters), and three-step stakes.

The last 100 meters is a sprint back.

The passing time is two minutes and thirty seconds, with an average speed of 37.5 seconds per 100 meters. It is definitely a high-intensity and high-difficulty training subject.

The 400-meter obstacle course is not only a competition event for the Dongzhou Special Police Detachment every year, but also one of the physical fitness subjects that must be taken for graduates of the Provincial Police Academy. If you fail, you will not be able to graduate, and if you do not graduate, you will not be able to become a police officer.

Back then, in an effort to minimize time, Chen Chuan didn't slow down when he came down from the log bridge. In his haste, he accidentally crashed into the high wall, and the loud "thud" completely silenced all the noise on the training ground.

It became a source of amusement for the teachers and students at the school afterward.

Chen Chuan jumped up: "Don't joke around, I won't do it."

As if by magic, Chen Shu produced a bowl of almond tofu from behind his back and placed it on the table in front of Chen Chuan.

Almond tofu was originally a traditional specialty snack in Jiang Province. It is made by grinding sweet almonds into a paste, adding water and boiling it. After freezing and solidifying, it is sliced ​​and named for its resemblance to tofu.

A bowl costs just over ten yuan. In addition to the main ingredient of almonds, it also comes with snacks such as osmanthus, pineapple, and tangerines. Paired with refreshing sweet water, it is definitely a rare delicacy in summer.

"Want some?" Chen Shu tempted.

"You still have some conscience!"

Chen Chuan stirred the plastic bowl with a spoon, then hesitated and said, "One thing at a time. I appreciate the almond tofu, but I still won't go through the 400-meter obstacle course."

Chen Shu waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, it's alright. We're all adults, we won't force you. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, you can just lie in my office. No one will dare to bother you, a leader of the Municipal Bureau."

"That's more like it." Chen Chuan felt relieved and began to work quickly.

"Okay, you can eat slowly. I'm going downstairs to the training hall to practice some more. If you change your mind, come find me."

"See you later! Is there even a need to think about it?" Chen Chuan shook his head and continued to savor the food.

Shortly after Chen Shu left, Chen Chuan's phone rang.

"Chen Chuan, are you going to participate in the martial arts competition?" Cheng Mian's long-unheard voice rang out on the phone.

"A martial arts contest? How could that be?" Chen Chuan, who was on the phone, took a big sip of sweet water, threw the spoon into the plastic bowl, and said nonchalantly.

"Hey, take a look at our squad's QQ group, it's practically exploding with activity. They'll probably all be calling you later."

Chen Chuan, who had rarely used QQ since starting work, hung up the phone and suspiciously opened his phone to search for the QQ app. He found that the icon did indeed show a lot of unread messages.

I initially thought it was something trivial, but when I opened the software, I found out that their police academy's QQ group had hundreds of messages.

"Chen Chuan is a warrior; he gets up wherever he falls!"

"Keep it up, Warriors? He's been out of school for so many years, he's probably got a huge belly by now. Let alone passing, I doubt he'll even finish the race!"

"Hehe, do you think our young master Chen's head is itching again? The usual scratching and tugging isn't enough for him anymore, so he has to go for another round."

"."

The group was chatting animatedly when they saw Chen Chuan's avatar light up, indicating that he was online, and immediately a bunch of people tagged him.

Chen Chuan ignored it and first scrolled through the chat history, only to find that the list of participants for the Dongzhou Special Police Detachment's competition had been leaked. Someone had deliberately drawn a large red circle around the name "Chen Chuan" on the image list.

Extremely eye-catching.

Originally, some of my classmates in the district team were working in the special police force. Not to mention participating in competitions at the branch level, they also participated in many large-scale competitions reported by the provincial authorities.

The reason this screenshot of Chen Chuan's martial arts competition went viral in the group is primarily due to the profound impact of his headbutt on a high wall during the 400-meter obstacle course test years ago. Even after all these years, it still managed to create such a huge ripple in this normally quiet QQ group.

After scrolling through the screen for a while, Chen Chuan finally found the person who started forwarding the message.

"Chen Shu, you son of a bitch!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Jingle Bell!"

"Jingle Bell!"

As expected, after seeing Chen Chuan online, many former classmates and current colleagues in the group tagged him in the QQ group, but he didn't reply. So they simply took turns calling him one after another.

It's an intranet, anyway, it doesn't cost any money.

This melon is too good to pass up!

This time, Chen Chuan was truly caught in the crossfire. After receiving numerous phone calls and text messages, he was genuinely forced into a corner.

"Chen Shu! Look what you've done!"

Chen Chuan, who had come in a huff to confront Chen Shu, saw Chen Shu standing in the lobby on the first floor chatting with several people, and the atmosphere seemed to be good.

He suppressed his anger and went inside.

A middle-aged man stood in the middle of the hall, spreading his arm to unfurl the banner in his hand.

"A police officer of high moral character, with a benevolent heart to help the people. Presented to: Chen Shu, Special Police Brigade of Zhengming District."

The large, gilded characters on the red silk cloth were extremely eye-catching. This was a good thing, and for Chen Shu, who was used to receiving banners of appreciation at the Zhongshan Police Station, it was just an ordinary thing.

Standing to the side, Chen Chuan looked at Chen Chuan, who was surrounded in the middle, and felt that something was not right. His expression was neither the joy one should have when receiving a banner, nor the calmness one should have when used to receiving banners.

He pondered for a while before realizing that it should be called, awkward.

Chen Shu smiled awkwardly: "Boss, you're making me feel a little ashamed."

The person addressed as "boss" turned out to be the same food stall owner who had been involved in the previous misunderstanding during the arrest of the dismemberment case, and he seemed quite happy at this moment.

"Officer Chen, you're doing this to solve cases for us ordinary people. I understand, I completely understand."

As he spoke, he stuffed the brocade banner in his hand into Chen Shu's arms.

Unable to resist the other party's enthusiasm, Chen Shu could only accept the banner. He then took the initiative to say, "By the way, it seems quite a few people skipped out on their orders last time. This expense is on us. I'll take you to the general affairs office later to get it reimbursed."

The food stall owner immediately waved his hand and said, "Oh dear, that won't do. It's nothing, no need for you to reimburse me. You've been so dedicated to serving the people, I don't know how to thank you enough."

Seeing that the other party's demeanor and tone did not seem like someone who had come to beg for money, Chen Shu was curious about the purpose of the food stall owner's visit today.

Surely one of those victims wasn't his friend or relative?

There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world.

Perhaps sensing the police's suspicion, the food stall owner finally scratched his head and confessed, "After you arrested this dismemberer, it seems someone filmed it and uploaded it to Douyin (TikTok). As a result, our food stall has become famous for the past two weeks, with people lining up to eat here every day."

"These people say they're eating, but they just come in to take pictures with their phones, then leave. The table turnover is incredibly fast. It's such a waste to just leave perfectly good food untouched. Hehe, they paid, they all paid this time."

"Officer Chen, you should visit us more often next time you have time. You're absolutely welcome!"

The food stall owner, still eager to continue his story, looked at the two of them with anticipation and excitement.

Chen Shu and Chen Chuan looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

This is ridiculous, 6.
