Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 691 Angry

Jiang Hai didn't know what had happened; he only recounted what he had seen.

Which of the police officers present wasn't a shrewd and worldly-wise individual? By connecting the dots, they quickly pieced together the general outline of the officer's sacrifice.

Although the direct cause of Xu Mingliang's death was that an explosive was thrown from upstairs, which happened to land in his arms and then he was blown away with a bang.

The reason for this was that during the first night raid, the commando team stormed the wrong house, which woke up the sleeping residents and made them alert, prompting them to fight back.

The reason the assault team stormed the wrong house was because Zhengming Xingda, who was in charge of tracking, deliberately concealed crucial information when handing over to the assault team.

It doesn't matter what key information was concealed; what matters is that Xing Da and his team had already fallen into this trap during their initial investigation, yet they silently led the assault team into the same trap.

If it weren't for Jiang Hai, the police academy student who unexpectedly witnessed the whole thing, in that dilapidated old neighborhood without even surveillance cameras, it would have been impossible for witnesses to appear in the middle of the night.

As long as Zhengming Criminal Investigation Department remains adamant and refuses to back down, and given that Zhang Zhongzhen, the assault team leader of the special police detachment, has publicly admitted his dereliction of duty and that Chen Shu, the on-site commander, has taken full responsibility out of guilt, this incident that resulted in the death of a police officer will at most be treated as an accident.

The case will either be handled as a case of negligence on the part of the special police commando team leader, or it will be considered as a case of inadequate work during the handover of duties at the Zhengming Criminal Investigation Department. Basically, the case will be classified as an accident.

However, Jiang Hai testified that when Zhengming Criminal Investigation Team was conducting the investigation, they had already discovered the error that the target building and the adjacent building had the same address, but they still did not remind them when handing over the task. This showed that they were negligent or even intentional in their subjective intentions.

The leader was Li Meng, the deputy captain of the Zhengming Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Director Wang beckoned, and the designated liaison officer jogged over.

Director Wang pointed at Jiang Hai, who was talking animatedly, and asked, "The young man we saw greeting us in the passenger station's monitoring room during the day, um, the one who got into the taxi so familiarly later, is that the young man?"

The liaison officer turned and examined the man carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "Director Wang, I recognized this person earlier, and I think it should be him. Should I contact the passenger station's monitoring room to verify again?"

Director Wang waved his hand.

Li Meng was still loudly defending himself, but suddenly a young criminal police officer who had just joined the police force fell to the ground in the Zhengming Criminal Investigation Team behind him, his face full of fear.

Several colleagues stood beside him, quite close together. When they noticed that people nearby were looking over, they subconsciously moved a little further away from the young policeman who was sitting on the ground, looking somewhat out of sorts.

Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized them as the core members who had been following Li Meng in tracking and capturing her.

Their dejected appearance indirectly confirmed the truth of Jiang Hai's account.

Anyone with eyes can see there's something fishy going on. Those with quick tongues are already whispering and discussing it amongst themselves. But no matter how fast they talk, they're still just talking; they can't compare to those who take action.

For example, someone who is burning with anger.

Chen Shu rushed to Li Meng, grabbed his collar with both hands and lifted him up, glaring at him with red eyes as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

Chen Shu spat out each word through gritted teeth: "Li Meng! Tell me! Why!"

Li Meng bared his teeth, a flash of fury in his eyes.

"Why did you do this!" A sudden slap left Li Meng dizzy and disoriented.

"Why?" Another slap landed.

Before Li Meng could react, a third slap followed: "I'm asking you a question!"

Her signature black-rimmed glasses were smashed to pieces, and Li Meng's square face was visibly red and swollen. Because her neck was choked painfully, Li Meng could only cough dryly and couldn't speak for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuming, the executive director of the Zhengming branch, and Ren Guoqing, the captain of the criminal investigation team, who were standing to the side, realized that they had lost face in front of the entire bureau, so they quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart.

Ren Guoqing repeatedly advised, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Let's check it again tomorrow."

Standing around were leaders from various departments of the Municipal Bureau, including Director Wang, the Executive Director of the Municipal Bureau. Zhang Xuming, the Executive Director of the Zhengming Branch, was blushing with embarrassment. All he could say at the moment was to try to reconcile them and discuss everything behind closed doors back at the bureau. Chen Shu ignored him.

His fists were clenched tightly, his heart filled with anger and pain.

He couldn't understand Li Meng's actions. If the problem had been discovered during the initial investigation, why wasn't it clearly explained when the case was transferred to the assault team?

Li Meng coughed for a long time, covering her throat with one hand, and covered her swollen face with the other, explaining, "This is a misunderstanding! I took clear photos of the scene, and there's also a video, and I even marked the house number! This is one of a kind!"

“One house corresponds to one house number. If there’s a mistake, it can only be due to the error of the police officers on duty! If you don’t believe me, you can investigate back to the original address! You are welcome to investigate back to the original address anytime! Besides, Zhang Zhongzhen himself admitted that they misread the house number!”

"What's it to us!"

"What's it to us!"

The "house number" that Li Meng kept mentioning reminded Chen Shu.

Chen Shu suddenly remembered that before the operation, he had asked Zhang Zhongzhen about the house number, and Zhang Zhongzhen's answer at the time was that he was certain of the house number.

Then, recalling that before the operation, when he asked Zhu Yiba to invite the criminal investigation team leader, the person in charge said that he had a stomachache and could not come, he thought that the other party was afraid of explosives and had a fear of war.

Furthermore, after tracking the target into the Qingyueqiao residential area, Li Meng reported a brief lapse in surveillance, at which time some people questioned the professionalism of Zhengming Criminal Police.

Given that the tracking team was organized, planned, and prepared, and it was broad daylight, how could they possibly have lost three living people?

How can it be?

Do you really think that all the upright detectives who are supposed to solve every murder case are just incompetent idiots?
Therefore, it can only be that someone did it intentionally.

Suppressing his emotions, Chen Shu asked, "Li Meng, tell me about the escape."

"If you take off your clothes, you'll just be embarrassing!"

"Then how come you found someone again?"

"We've found it."

Having worked in criminal investigation for many years, Chen Shu was almost certain of the truth when he saw Li Meng's evasive eyes and her blustering but cowardly demeanor.

"Fuck your mother!!!"

Like a mad bull, Chen Shu shoved aside Zhang Xuming and Ren Guoqing who were blocking his way, rushed in front of Li Meng, and rained down punches on her head and body.

Even though Li Meng deliberately raised her arms and used her sharp elbows to block, Chen Shu still frantically punched her, each blow causing Chen Shu both physical and psychological pain.

Physical pain can alleviate psychological pain;

New pain can also alleviate existing pain.

When the pain reached its peak, Chen Shu paused briefly in his madness, and his innate and acquired combat skills erupted.

He shifted his body slightly to the side, took a step, twisted his waist and thrust his hips, aiming at Li Meng's empty lower abdomen and throwing an extremely powerful uppercut. Li Meng winced in pain, instinctively sticking out her unguarded chest.

Chen Shu's left fist slammed into his chest, followed by a powerful right punch from below, which landed firmly on the opponent's jaw.

puff! ! !
Li Meng spat out a bloody tooth, her head tilted back, her whole body forming a taut bow shape, as she was sent flying off the ground.
