Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 661 Director Wang of the Municipal Bureau
Before the group from Zhengming Branch could finish their remark, they were handed over to the municipal bureau leaders who had rushed over, along with the heads of the criminal investigation and anti-terrorism branches.

In the past, some captains and directors who were considered to have some influence all followed behind them cautiously and timidly.

These bigwigs are rarely seen in the past, and even if one of them were to step out, they would be revered. But the fact that they are now being presented in such a grand manner underscores the seriousness of the case.

In addition to high-ranking police officers, even the technical investigation unit dispatched a technical reconnaissance vehicle, known as a "mobile high-tech laboratory," to the scene.

Putting aside the fact that this boxy, ordinary-looking car has no special capabilities, the fact that it was even brought out for public display shows how much importance the higher-ups attach to this case.

Of course, the most eye-catching sight at the scene was the fully armed Special Police Detachment, First Brigade, Assault Squadron.

Dressed in black tactical gear, their uniform SWAT attire showcased a level of discipline and combat capability unlike that of ordinary police officers. The entire team wore black helmets and black goggles, with pulled-up masks obscuring most of their faces.

The team members were all tall and strong, and every movement they made was full of power and confidence. Their marching steps were neat and powerful, and every step was filled with firm determination.

This is a stage that belongs only to them.

Squadron Leader Zhang Zhongzhen stepped forward and reported loudly: "The assault squadron of the First Detachment of the Special Police Brigade has assembled. Please give instructions, sir."

The deputy director of the municipal bureau was completely won over.

Ever since he learned that three people were on their way from Yiwu City to Dongzhou by bus, his heart had been pounding so hard he couldn't stop it.

He knew exactly what NJ was like.

The texts and videos circulating in society are just the tip of the iceberg.

On the way there, the deputy director couldn't help but imagine a bustling city, teeming with people and teeming with traffic.
Then, even his underwear was found by the disciplinary authorities, and he could only stand alone on the court's bench, where he was sentenced to life imprisonment, word by word.

Anyone who still says that joining the police force will give them a prestigious title and a bright future, I'll slap them across the face. This deputy director, who was recently transferred from a government department to the police force, felt uneasy. Since he had no experience in police work, he could only place his hopes on others.

Seeing the impressive appearance of the newcomer, the deputy director finally felt a little relieved.

He smiled encouragingly at Zhang Zhongzhen, then signaled for the meeting to begin.

The meeting was chaired by the head of the Anti-Terrorism Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He first gave a brief summary of the information from Yiwu City, and then began to assign specific tasks to each department.

He understood the helplessness of the deputy director who had come to handle the situation, as he had just been transferred from the government to the police force and had no experience to draw upon in dealing with this type of incident.

But even though he was the top officer in the counter-terrorism unit, he still lacked experience.

He was promoted and transferred from a grassroots support team.

Professionals are responsible for professional matters.

except him.

The anti-terrorism squad leader assigned traffic police to be in charge of traffic control on the perimeter and criminal police to be in charge of plainclothes security at the bus station. This was the safest and most error-free decision he could come up with.

Finally, he looked at the SWAT team leader as if pleading for help.

"Chief Yao, the task of tackling this difficult problem is now in your hands."

Yao Zhi was taken aback. As a relatively insignificant department in the municipal bureau, he was instinctively prepared to decline. However, when he saw the deputy director sitting at the head of the table looking over with anticipation, he knew he couldn't let that fervent hope down.

Anyone can keep an eye on someone.
Yao Zhi turned to look at the captain of the First Detachment of the Special Police Brigade standing behind him. The captain, who hadn't been listening carefully, was now staring at him openly, drawing the attention of everyone in the meeting.

This pressure is so intense it's unbearable.

Subconsciously, he turned to look at Zhang Zhongzhen, the captain of the assault squadron standing behind him.

Zhang Zhongzhen repeated the captain's experience.

However, the young man felt no pressure whatsoever. He excitedly took a big step forward, snapped to attention, and loudly reported, "Use me in the first battle! With me, victory is assured!"

It was quiet.

There was no applause as expected.

An awkward silence filled the room.

This awkward situation stems from Zhang Zhongzhen's lackluster resume. At such a young age, apart from his past performance evaluations, he has no other real achievements to support his so-called "inevitable victory."

Those present were all experienced people; if they advocated for Zhang Zhongzhen's attack, they would have to bear the backlash if Zhang Zhongzhen failed.

Look, even their own commando team leader is silently taking notes at the meeting. Would the big shots from other teams be stupid enough to overstep their authority and take sides?
The deputy director wasn't good at strategizing, but having been a leading cadre for many years, he knew that the young people's spirits couldn't be dampened before the battle, otherwise the matter would definitely not be accomplished, and no one would be willing to do it.

He immediately slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Alright, proceed according to plan."

He had been holding back these words for a long time, just waiting to use them now.

Then the room fell silent again.

A plan? What plan?

Everyone's gaze turned to the counter-terrorism squad leader; this plan definitely needed his leadership. He'd made a good impression with his attitude during this brief visit, but there wasn't a single concrete plan in sight.

The anti-terrorism team leader was sweating profusely, and apart from frantically wiping his forehead with tissues, he was completely helpless. Previously, he had mainly worked on household registration, and the only time he could be described as "dangerous" was when he was in charge of managing and controlling high-risk migrant and key populations throughout the district.

Asking him to come up with a solution is just making things difficult for him.
After going around once, the meeting room quieted down again. After all, Dongzhou had never experienced anything like a terrorist attack in decades, so there was not a single person in reserve or action plan.

As time ticked by, the three individuals were about to arrive in Dongzhou by bus, but everyone remained silent, holding their breath.

Because speaking up makes it easy to stand out, and standing out means taking on responsibility.

The deputy director of the municipal bureau was furious, but lacked the courage to take responsibility. So he started by pointing out the criminal investigation team leader sitting to his left, one by one, demanding that they talk about something concrete.

What a joke!
If things go wrong, it could end in a complete disaster!
Everyone here is a seasoned veteran, spouting nothing but empty platitudes. They shout slogans and issue declarations of war, each louder than the last, but when it comes to devising a practical tactic, not a single one of them can come up with one.

The meeting room fell silent again.

The bigwigs sitting around the table looked at each other, and then remained silent in tacit agreement.

At this moment, Chen Shu, who was standing in the corner, saw all of this and his heart sank to the bottom.
