Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 596 has an invoice

In the video footage, Art and a group of SWAT officers are wearing new portable bulletproof vests and holding the latest modified Type 92 pistols and tactical flashlights.

After rushing out of the hotel elevator, the group sped forward to their target room, accompanied by a tense and exciting background music with a catchy "boom boom boom" soundtrack.

The handheld video camera quickly followed behind, and in a flash, several counter-terrorism elites with the word "SWAT" printed on their backs even appeared.

The highly immersive first-person gun-wielding perspective and the immersive SWAT officer role-playing experience made Li Chaoyang, who was watching Xiaojing Ate's video for the first time on his phone, extremely nervous.

While staring at his phone screen, he quickly asked, "Is this a drug bust? Oh my god, is it some kind of anti-terrorism operation?"

Chen Shu pursed his lips, also turning his gaze to the video, without saying a word.

In the video, the first-person perspective characters quickly traverse a long corridor and arrive at the target room. The SWAT team members stop in front of the sealed plaster wall, unable to break through it with ramming and kicking, and finally have to call in a breaching tool to violently demolish the wall.

A moment later, a large circular hole was broken open, and the video camera followed the flashlight beam and swayed a few times into the small space inside.

Under the light, behind the wall, was a group of men and women slumped on the ground, staring at each other with terrified eyes. Their faces alternated between pale and ashen, their expressions dazed and numb.

"A gang? Harboring criminals or gathering crowds?"

Li Chaoyang had been scrutinizing the video from the perspective of someone investigating a drug case, but when he saw a large number of men and women appearing in the frame, his tense face immediately broke into a smile.

Ha ha.

Chen Shu, who had watched the video, also smiled, but it was an awkward smile.

Then, the tense and exciting background music that had been accompanying the operation stopped, and the first-person police officer aimed his pistol at the cut, pointing it straight and forcefully at the crowd on the ground, and a series of soul-searching questions came out.

"What are you doing?"

"Wellness and Massage"

How much does it cost per session?

"five hundred."

"Full set? Half set?"

"Uh, it's just a massage."

"Full set! Or half set?"

"Half a set."

This completely broke Li Chaoyang's guard, who was being watched intently. His expression crumbled: "This? Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a crime thriller."

Chen Shu took the phone away and tried to explain, "Actually, it is still difficult. After all, in law enforcement operations, we also have to maintain a stable shooting angle for the camera."

After watching the video, Li Chaoyang sat at the table, took a sip of tea to calm his chaotic emotions, and sighed, "Your deputy director wouldn't be thinking of going in this direction, would he?"

Chen Shu nodded: "I guess so. On the one hand, they saw that the traffic police had achieved some success with Ziyan's account, and several officers and leaders were promoted this time; on the other hand, they felt that the special police had a low profile in the bureau, so they wanted to stir up some trouble."

"A leader's word is all it takes for subordinates to run themselves ragged."

Li Chaoyang then dumped a bag of miscellaneous items he had brought up from the downstairs investigation area onto his desk. After fiddling with it, he found it contained cheap tea with a musty smell and off-brand health products he had never even heard of.

The two then continued with the question about sweeping oranges.

"Senior brother, can you guess where all of this came from?"

"It can't be a gift from my partner when they come to visit, can it?" Li Chaoyang opened his partner's phone and then clicked on their profile picture on social media.

Good heavens, every single one of them is a stunningly beautiful woman with a curvaceous figure.

"Hey, these beautiful women are legitimate 'WeChat sellers,' selling everything from tea to health products. Every time a customer buys something from them, the two of them have a pleasant chat and end up having a 'deeper' conversation."

Gee!

Goodness, you get free wellness services when you buy health supplements here!
Chen Shu was shocked; the evolution of the prostitution industry was simply too outrageous. In just over a year since being transferred to a frontline investigation post, the methods employed were truly astounding, blinding him completely.

He opened one of the boxes of tea, which was nicely packaged, and found the shopping receipt and invoice inside.

I picked up the invoice and stared intently at the "XX Tea Shop" printed on it, wondering if it might be counterfeit, when a voice drifted softly from the side.

"It's a genuine invoice; I've checked it."

Tsk!
Chen Shu put down the invoice and hesitated, "How do we handle this? What if they say it was a normal transaction, that they just had a little chat when they were feeling particularly close? How do we deal with that?"

He paused for a moment, stroking his chin, and began to explain to himself: "The young lady can investigate based on the transfer records or by focusing on whether he acted intentionally or not, but it's much harder for the girlfriend/customer to gather evidence. If he insists that he bought the item through Xianyu or WeChat..."

While tidying up the scattered tea leaves and health supplements on his desk, Li Chaoyang said with a smile, "Senior brother, your trip to the SWAT team was so much simpler. Why do we need to put any effort into taking statements for this orange-sweeping operation? We just need to bluff him and confide in his family and workplace, right? You were the one who taught me that."

The police station is indeed a place that trains people. Li Chaoyang has only been out of police academy for three years, and he was promoted to deputy section chief in his fourth year. It has to be said that in addition to his outstanding 'comprehensive ability', his professional skills must also be excellent.

Of course, the above statement only applies to large police stations. Some police stations only have three or four officially employed police officers. In such cases, it is impossible not to become the deputy director.

"cough."

Li Chaoyang coughed, then adopted a stern voice, as if he were facing a person being interrogated, and said sternly, "We believe you did buy the tea through Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app), and we also believe this invoice is genuine. Well then, let your wife or your boss come to the police station to take you home."

"Here's a cell phone. Do you want to make the call yourself, or should we?"

This meticulous imitation is quite similar to the tone of Chen Shu's interrogation back then.

Perhaps stirred up memories, Chen Shu couldn't help but test him, "What if your partner is a bachelor and doesn't have a job? What will you do then?"

Li Chaoyang snapped his fingers and said confidently, "Easy, just notify his parents."

"The parents are disappointed and have stopped caring?"

"Send the detention notice to the village."

"It's been so many years since I've been home, does it really matter?"

Li Chaoyang stroked his chin, thinking for a long time: "People who don't care about face probably care about substance. Maybe we should punish them severely according to the circumstances, throw them a copy of the 'Public Security Administration Punishment Law' and let them read it themselves. The 'good cop' can come out and extort 5000 yuan from them, then put them in a cage for fifteen days. The 'bad cop' can come out and play the good guy, promising leniency for confession and severity for resistance; they'll probably confess."

Chen Shu then threw out another difficult question: "I have no money, but you can take my life?"

Li Chaoyang chuckled: "Once the above procedures are followed, nine out of ten will obediently admit it. If you're unlucky and there's one left who refuses to admit it, then let them go. Anyway, taking down nine is enough to meet the target. If it's not enough, we can keep chasing them. There's no need to get stuck on the details and waste time."

Confess and you'll be imprisoned for life; resist and you'll be allowed to go home for the New Year.

The policy is to treat those who confess leniently and those who resist severely. If someone confesses, the sentence will be based on the content of the confession, although the punishment may be reduced depending on the circumstances of the confession. If someone resists, there is a high probability of acquittal in the absence of a conviction.

"Not bad, their business skills are very solid!"

Chen Shu patted the other person on the shoulder with satisfaction.
