Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 447 Give me a pillow when you feel sleepy

After seeing the preoccupied Chen Shu out of the office, Zhou Qinghu quickly returned to his desk, turned on his computer, and browsed through his old classmate's information and data from recent years on the public security intranet.

"They turned the tide, lifting the Zhengming Brigade from last place in the city to first place in the Dongzhou Special Police Skills Competition."

"A 'daredevil' who single-handedly fought off a fugitive armed murderer and rescued two girls in distress."

"A robber was outsmarted at an old train station, and the rescued hostage later claimed to have fallen in love with the special police officer who appeared out of nowhere."

"A hero who bravely leaped from a high-rise building into flames while holding a young child, rescuing people from a burning building."

"A highly skilled and experienced special police officer."

Looking at the on-site information on the computer screen, Zhou Qinghu's eyes lit up at the sight of the man who always stood tall in the different photos. He felt as if his old classmate Chen Shu had come at the perfect time!
Lin Dakai was determined to go to southern Xinjiang to conduct research. Zhou Qinghu had originally suggested that the Special Police Corps or its branch send two skilled officers to accompany Lin Dakai. However, Lin Dakai declined the offer, citing that the research at the police academy should not interfere with the daily work of other departments.

Ultimately, Lin Dakai was unwilling to ask the institute's leaders to coordinate the deployment of the accompanying special police, especially given the current time when the entire institute is preparing for the pilot program to approve graduate students, which is somewhat inconvenient. Zhou Qinghu, on the other hand, was still young and lacked the resources and connections to effectively mobilize others.

Later, Zhou Qinghu pleaded for a long time, using the excuse that "the current police academy students are too bookish and need to see the real world," before finally persuading Lin Dakai to reluctantly agree to bring a few students along.

As for whether these students belong to the Public Security Department, the Criminal Investigation Department, or the Police Command and Tactics Department (Special Police), that's up to Zhou Qinghu to decide.

However, now that we have Chen Shu, who has extremely rich practical experience and was specially invited to work at the academy two years ago by Lin Dakai, those students can just stay in the police academy and study hard.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket and eagerly called his teacher, Lin Dakai, the head of the Student Affairs Office.

"Teacher! I've found a team member for you on your trip to southern Xinjiang."

"I know, I know. It's not someone from outside, hmm, it must be someone from our police academy!"

"Hehe, half, count as half."

"You know this person? I'll send you his information in a bit. You'll definitely be satisfied after you read it!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qinghu packaged the information he had just retrieved about Chen Shu into an email and forwarded it to Lin Dakai. Then, he pushed back the chair and walked to the window. Looking in the direction Chen Shu had hurriedly left, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and he felt much lighter.

A moment later, just as Zhou Qinghu had expected, his phone rang.

"Teacher, have you finished reviewing the information? Do you want this person?"

"Alright, I knew you'd like that. This time, let him come with you to southern Xinjiang to learn and broaden his horizons! He'll know what it means to be outmatched and have someone more capable. Hehe, who knows, he might even be begging to come to the police academy to do research with you!"

"Yes, yes, he's in our yard right now."

"However, teacher, there's been a sudden problem here. He might be preoccupied with something and unable to work."

"No, no, it was just a coincidence. His younger brother is also in our college, a freshman this year. He got into a little misunderstanding and was punished and warned by our student affairs office."

"It's definitely a misunderstanding! I can handle the mess myself, but you'll still need to give your approval in the end."

"Okay, I'll bring some people to your place in a bit."

Having worked under Lin Dakai for seven or eight years, and having been his student for several years before, Zhou Qinghu could at least guess some of Lin Dakai's thoughts, if not read his mind.

Lin Dakai originally came from a business background and worked at the grassroots level before transferring to the police academy as a lecturer. While at the police academy, he passed numerous selection processes across the province to join the peacekeeping police force, leading teams to carry out peacekeeping missions in some of the world's most dangerous and unstable regions.

This experience instilled in him a strong emphasis on practical application, and he has always adhered to a teaching philosophy that prioritizes real-world experience while supplementing it with academic knowledge.

Therefore, when writing papers related to anti-Kong, Lin Dakai insisted on conducting on-site investigations and research.

Two years ago, when he went to Dongzhou City for research, he was impressed by Chen Shu's outstanding work performance at the grassroots level and his remarkable achievements in solving major cases. Therefore, Lin Dakai extended an olive branch to Chen Shu.

I never expected to be rejected so readily!
To this day, Lin Dakai still harbors resentment over this matter.

He couldn't understand why a junior police officer from a local police station would refuse a transfer offer from the provincial police academy.

Zhou Qinghu, who worked for Lin Dakai, saw all these things clearly, so this time he devised a plan to go with the flow and give the two of them another chance to meet.

Zhou Qinghu hung up the phone with satisfaction and hummed a little tune happily. He paced around the office for a few hours, enduring the ordeal for half an hour before finally taking out his phone to send a WeChat message to his old classmate Chen Shu.

"nailed it!"

Chen Shu, who had been anxiously waiting by the loyal horse, couldn't help but burst into laughter after receiving Zhou Qinghu's WeChat notification.

Chen Shu had only helped a friend's younger brother, and he didn't know why he was so concerned or why he was so happy after it was done.

He coughed a few times to compose himself, then walked to the library not far behind the loyal horse and waved towards the entrance. A figure swept in like a small whirlwind.

"Brother Shu, is it done?" Jiang Hai asked urgently in a low voice.

Chen Shu coughed a few more times, then said sternly, "I've already notified your instructors. You will participate in the afternoon's parade as usual."

"Yay! Long live Brother Shu!" Jiang Hai jumped up and down happily.

He then realized he had overreacted, so he cautiously glanced back at his sister, who was strolling around the library with her hands behind her back. Only then did he relax, and an uncontrollable smile spread across his youthful face.

Chen Shu smiled and shook his head, swallowing the rest of his words, "The warning will be revoked within a week through the proper procedures."

For Jiang Hai, the existence of a warning or disciplinary action is probably insignificant compared to his sister's joy at witnessing her brother solemnly swearing an oath with a group of prospective police officers.

"Jingle Bell."

Chen Shu took out his phone, glanced at it, and walked to the side to answer it.

"Chairman, thank you."

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shu called Jiang Hai over and gave him a few instructions. Then, carrying a black travel bag full of Dongzhou local specialties, he headed towards the podium on the police academy's training ground.

On the phone, Zhou Qinghu wanted to talk to him about something, and he sounded quite urgent.

"No matter what it is, as long as the Chairman asks for it, I will do it for him!"

Chen Shu, walking with ease, thought to himself.

Before Jiang Hai could even process Chen Shu's good news, her roommates, who had been standing at a distance with her sister, suddenly swarmed over.

The short man grabbed Jiang Hai's arm and hurriedly asked, "I saw you jump up just now, are you going to play this afternoon?"

The short, fat man grabbed Jiang Hai's other arm and asked in the same way, "Brother-in-law, have you taken care of everything?"

The man with the bamboo pole stood behind the two of them, staring at Jiang Hai for a long time with disbelief in his eyes, waiting for the other party's answer.

Jiang Hai couldn't help but beam with joy. He took a deep breath, suppressed the laughter that was rising in his throat, and nodded slowly.

"YES! Brother-in-law is awesome!" The short, fat man waved his hand, as if he had struck gold, and was extremely happy.

The local resident of the provincial capital, a man with only three inches in his arms, also found it unbelievable. He had originally thought that Jiang Hai was just a special police captain from a district or county, but he had actually managed to get the captain of their provincial police academy to back down from the pressure from the student affairs office and let him go so that he could take the stage in the afternoon.

"My brother-in-law probably has some classmates from the same batch who stayed at the school, and I guess they took this route," the short man deduced, following the line of thought the skinny man had taught him yesterday.

“It’s not as simple as just letting Jiang Hai play.” The skinny man said with a serious expression. He hesitated for a moment and then suddenly said, “There’s no longer any warning notice about Jiang Hai on the notice board outside the cafeteria.”

"What? There are no more announcements?" The short, fat man was completely confused, and the other two looked at the skinny man with the same question.

The skinny man licked his dry lips and said haltingly, "When I came over from the cafeteria just now, I glanced at the notice board. The notice about Jiang Hai's punishment, which was supposed to be posted there for a week, is gone. I guess the punishment has most likely been revoked."

He swallowed hard, then turned to look at the notice board hidden by the library wall: "It's gone. That was a punishment set by the deputy director. My brother-in-law's background is truly unfathomable!"

The man with the bamboo-like frame was even more shocked than his appearance suggested.

Deputy Director Xu. If he were in Jiang Hai's brother-in-law's hometown, which is Zhengming District in Dongzhou, he could easily be appointed as the director of their branch office!

At this moment, his decision was surprisingly reversed in front of everyone!

"What's wrong with you guys? Why are you all crowding at the door? Jiang Hai, where's Brother Shu? Wasn't he just standing here? How come he's disappeared again?" Yan Chenxi, who had been standing in the library waiting for Chen Shu to come looking for her, saw her younger brother and his classmates standing at the door, and Chen Shu coming and going. She thought something had happened, so she came over to ask.

But as soon as I got closer, I could vaguely hear several people talking at once, endlessly praising my brother-in-law.

Yan Chenxi's expression was one of surprise, even slightly frozen.

She scrutinized the young men, including her own younger brother Jiang Hai. The arrogance and pride typical of reserve police officers of the Republic had vanished. The faces of these neatly dressed young men were filled with excitement and disbelief, and they all looked in the direction Chen Shu had left.

Judging from their eyes, Chen Shu seemed to hold a very high and powerful position, and each of them showed genuine respect for him.

But this reverence seemed a little different from their first meeting.
It doesn't seem like the respect a junior brother shows to a senior brother.

It's just an illusion.
