Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 690 Cheng Yaojin appears halfway

Chen Shu looked at the other person calmly.

Zhang Zhongzhen stood in front of Chen Shu, with a large group of police officers behind him.

He lowered his head, clenched his fist, and paused for a short while before finally raising his head.

He straightened his shoulders, his eyes frank, and said without reservation, "Senior brother, this accident was my fault. I didn't check the door number before barging in, which led to Officer Xu's sacrifice. This has nothing to do with you!"

Wow!
There was an uproar at the SWAT team.

Originally, Special Police Detachment Chief Yao, after reviewing the materials regarding Chen Shu and his team's raid on the target building in Qingyue Community, planned to shift the blame entirely to Zhengming Criminal Investigation Division. This was because, based on the information they provided, the key details were misleading, and anyone who went to the scene was likely to make mistakes.

However, when their own team members stood up for themselves in front of Wang, the executive director of the municipal bureau, they stubbornly took the blame. This gave the leader a very bad first impression and made him subconsciously assume that it was the fault of the special police.

Even if they try to reason with the criminal investigation team later, they'll probably be at a disadvantage before they even get a chance to speak.

"So young," Yao Zhi stamped his foot and sighed inwardly.

To be honest, Zhang Zhongzhen's behavior was unexpected for Chen Shu. Based on their few meetings, Chen Shu remembered Zhang as a young man who was extremely concerned with his reputation and honor.

It's normal for someone so young to be appointed as the captain of a direct assault team. However, after making a mistake on the spot, Zhang Zhongzhen became afraid and dared not lead the team to storm the building again, which meant that Xu Mingliang from the Zhengming Special Police Brigade had to step in and take responsibility for the incident.

Fortunately, there was Xu Mingliang, a front-line bomber who had a strong voice in the brigade. Otherwise, if Zhang Zhongzhen had been allowed to abandon his responsibilities, Chen Shu alone would not have been able to stop the heavily armed forces.

In fact, on the way to the hospital, Chen Shu had subconsciously tried to blame others, but all of that changed abruptly when he entered the hospital and saw the red light on the operating room.

The responsibility for Xu Mingliang's death lies with him, who was in charge of the command!

The person who wronged Xu Mingliang is him!
Chen Shu reached out and patted Zhang Zhongzhen on the shoulder, reassuring him, "I'm the on-site commander. If anything goes wrong during the operation, I'm the person primarily responsible."

Standing behind Zhang Xuming, Ren Guoping, and others from the Zhengming Branch, Li Meng lowered her head slightly and moved half a step to the side without making a sound, revealing only one eye as she continued to look over.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry." Zhang Zhongzhen raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Chen Shu shook his head: "I'm sorry to Lao Xu. You all did your best, but fate played a cruel joke on him."

He turned to Director Wang and earnestly explained, "I heard that when the gunpowder was thrown down from upstairs, it landed right in Old Xu's arms. Director Wang, isn't that a coincidence?"

Director Wang didn't know Xu Mingliang, but he could still imagine the horror of the explosive explosion. He said in a deep voice, "For a bomb disposal expert, dying on the battlefield is a special honor."

Chen Shu didn't say anything, but he was thinking to himself, if Old Xu's family were still here, even if they were two women, they would still fight with you, no matter what color shirt you were wearing.

Ah, no, they should fight me, this sinner, first.

Just then, shouts from the other end interrupted everyone's sighs.

"Brother Shu!"

Looking into the distance, a young man with a youthful face stood at the end of the corridor, panting heavily.

Jiang Hai ran over from the stairwell.

Perhaps because he was used to seeing friendly men in white shirts at school, Jiang Hai wasn't particularly fond of Director Wang standing to the side. Without even greeting him, he circled around Chen Shu a few times. Showing no shyness under everyone's gaze, Jiang Hai clicked his tongue for a while before letting out a sigh of relief and saying thankfully, "I saw you guys hurriedly carrying someone away earlier, and I thought it was you. I couldn't get a taxi at night, and it took me ages to find you. Thank goodness."

Some of the people were annoyed and glared at the young man who had appeared out of nowhere.

Xu Mingliang had just been pronounced dead by the doctor in the emergency room when some rascal suddenly appeared out of nowhere, yelling and laughing and expressing his relief, which was really annoying.

However, for Jiang Hai, who spends his days living and studying among thousands of uniformed officers at the police academy and even has the opportunity to exchange a few blows with the police chiefs after class, these officers who instill fear in doctors, nurses, and patients in the hospital have virtually no deterrent effect in his eyes.

Chen Shu first introduced Jiang Hai to Director Wang, who was standing to the side, as a student from the East China Sea Police Academy. Then, he frowned and criticized Jiang Hai for meddling in adults' affairs regardless of the occasion.

Jiang Hai, full of youthful vigor, had come all this way with the intention of caring for others, only to be criticized instead. In his desperation, he retorted, "What's so great about you, sir? You even went to the wrong door twice during your operation. Do you think you're so great with such methods?"

At first, no one realized what was happening; they just thought it was a child talking back after being scolded. But upon closer inspection, everyone was shocked.

Mistaking the door for the wrong one, twice?
If Zhang Zhongzhen led the team once, then who led the team last time?
Zhengming, the criminal investigator in charge of the surveillance!
Although there were many police officers in the corridor, they were subtly organized by different units, and they were kept slightly apart from each other, with only those from their own units gathered together.

At this moment, everyone thought of the tracking team's mistake, and whether they had suspicions or not, they all turned their suspicious gazes to the group from Zhengming Criminal Investigation Department standing behind Zhang Xuming, the executive officer of Zhengming Branch.

Jiang Hai naturally followed everyone's gaze and immediately recognized an acquaintance.

“Look, Brother Shu, that guy with glasses. He was the one disguised as a deliveryman last night, knocking on the wrong door with food. I didn’t expect your assault team to still make the mistake. Tsk tsk, as our teacher said, if this were on the battlefield, people would die!” Jiang Hai pointed at Zhengming Xingda from afar and said without any hesitation.

The officers present silently thought to themselves that someone had already died.

Inside the criminal investigation unit, Li Meng was the only one wearing glasses. She could no longer hide, so she had to push aside the people standing in front of her and come out.

He adjusted his glasses and retorted, "Kid, don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Hai chuckled: "Am I talking nonsense? I followed the taxi that the Wei people were in as soon as I came out of the station. Your car was right next to me at that time! Look, the fat guy standing behind you is the driver. You were driving a black Volkswagen with the license plate number Dong C9AXXX."

The person identified as the driver was Wen Zhao from Zhengming Criminal Investigation Department, and the black Volkswagen mentioned by the other party was a car commonly used by their Criminal Investigation Department.

A police cadet from the provincial capital wouldn't have any ulterior motives, so his identification was highly credible. At least, many of the officers present were now giving Zhengming, the criminal investigator, hostile looks.

Jiang Hai's actions startled Li Meng: "You've been following me since the bus station?"

Jiang Hai rubbed his nose and said smugly, "That's right! It even cost me a whole pack of cigarettes! I followed you all the way from the bus station to Xinqiao Station, making a roundabout way, before finally making my way back to Qingyue Residential Area. Then you guys gathered a dozen or so people and hid in a corner to discuss things. Oh, and that delivery uniform you wore when you went to the door was something that fat guy took from the trunk of his black Volkswagen later!"

At the time, Li Meng was part of the first tracking team. In order to avoid arousing the other party's suspicion by following them continuously, he routinely switched positions with the second team halfway through the tracking. Then, he did indeed turn in the opposite direction, circle around Xinqiao Station, and finally returned to Qingyue Community.

This detail confirms the fact that Li Meng was being followed.

This police academy student, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, uttered words that, one by one, were like flying daggers, piercing Li Meng's backside from top to bottom.

Ah, no, the buttocks are too light to be fatal.

It would be more appropriate to say "chest".

At this moment, Li Meng's heart turned to ice, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
