Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 755 Just what you want
The blond-haired boy, like a headless fly, frantically wandered around trying to avoid Chen Shu's gaze. He looked around and then returned to Chen Shu. Seeing the other's serious expression, he could only purse his lips and lower his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong.

They're clearly clueless, led astray by those seemingly profound but actually toxic motivational quotes online, and instilled with too much so-called life philosophy. As a result, they suffer inconsolably when faced with real-world situations.

Looking at Huang Mao's flustered appearance, Chen Shu couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. As a veteran policeman who had experienced many ups and downs, he knew that the worst thing to do in this world was to run away.

He pointed at the nonchalant Chen Chuan and demonstrated: "People with connections are trained at the grassroots level to enhance their credentials. After all, they are a minority, and that's the reality. Don't think it's unfair."

"For ordinary people like us at the grassroots level, we're like oxen and horses; we have to work hard and not just lie down and do nothing. Once you join the police force, you're not allowed to lie down, or you'll be the one who suffers in the end."

Then, after patiently explaining the situation, Huang Mao finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Under Chen Shu's guidance, he took two packs of yellow cigarettes that Chen Chuan had tacitly handed him and ran into the investigation site as fast as he could, intending to first establish a proper relationship with the forensic doctor and the on-site investigators.

Although the movements were clumsy, the attitude has indeed improved a lot.

Chen Chuan raised an eyebrow, unable to suppress a hint of envy. He was deeply moved by his old classmate's tone of voice and his patient attitude towards Huang Mao.

"Book, isn't it tiring to live like this?" Chen Chuan turned his head to look in the direction Huang Mao had left and said softly.

"It was nothing," Chen Shu said casually.

A moment later, an elderly policeman wearing white rubber gloves came running out of the house angrily and demanded, "Who? Who was messing around up ahead and putting the body down like that?! Isn't this just making things worse?!"

All eyes turned to Chen Shu.

Chen Shu was stunned, a little confused, wondering if he had done something seriously wrong.

The policeman walked up to Chen Shu, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes wide, and criticized, "I thought it was just some ignorant civilian who let the person down. How can you, a policeman, have no experience at all? Can you just take someone down from a hanging place? Did you measure the distance from the top of their head to the ceiling? Did you measure the distance from their toes to the ground? What kind of knot was tied around their neck? Did you take a picture?"

These questions came crashing down on Chen Shu's head, making him feel like he was being hit hard.

Presumably, the blond guy ran into the room and told the forensic doctor everything that was going on.

After all, he was a professional, so Chen Shu had no choice but to back down. According to the attitude of Dongzhou towards forensic doctors, they had to be unconditionally understood and always appeased: forensic doctors are always right and forensic doctors are always the hardest working.

Chen Shu smiled and said sincerely, "Brother, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Is there anything I can help you with, and could you help me make amends?"

Police officers, as employees of powerful and violent institutions, are more or less concerned about their image. Even if they do something wrong, they will stubbornly refuse to admit defeat. It is rare for someone like Chen Shu to admit his mistakes as soon as they meet.

Especially considering he held a leadership position and had no connection whatsoever with the policeman from another province, his frank admission of weakness stunned the aggressive forensic doctor.

Previously, when he came to examine the scene, he saw that the body had been placed on the ground by someone. He assumed it was done by hotel staff and thought they meant well, so he let it go.

Unexpectedly, after Huang Mao came over and explained, he learned that it was a colleague from another province who had caused the trouble. This matter had doubled his workload, so he had the idea of ​​confronting him.

As it turned out, the other party's attitude was quite good; they admitted their mistake immediately and even offered to lend a hand, which naturally earned the forensic doctor's goodwill.

The forensic doctor thought for a moment and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​interfering?"

According to the normal thinking of police officers, they deal with these cases every day in their daily work, and it is common for them to be so busy that they don't have time to rest. Whenever there is any opportunity, they will try to avoid contact with them.

All year round, I only look forward to my annual leave to relax and get some fresh air. With the idea that it's better to avoid trouble, it's really rare for a passing policeman to lend a hand.

Chen Shu pointed to the hotel cleaning lady standing at the other end of the corridor and said helplessly, "I just came out of the elevator when I heard that lady scream. Without thinking, I rushed over." "A colleague from Donghai?"

"Donghai Dongzhou, Chen Shu".

"Everyone in the team calls me Old Tang, the forensic doctor." Old Tang suddenly remembered something he might actually need their help with. He smiled and looked Chen Shu and Chen Chuan up and down for a while, then said, "Are you here for tourism?"

"Yes, we came here for tourism."

Have you eaten any mushrooms?

"I ate it, and it's quite fresh."

"It's a pity you came at the wrong time of year. Right now, all the good mushrooms are frozen, which greatly diminishes their aroma and texture. If you had come a few months earlier, you could have picked them and eaten them right away—the taste would have been amazing!"

After chatting for a while, Old Tang suddenly asked, "Chen Shu, are you also involved in criminal investigation?"

Before Chen Shu could speak, Chen Chuan keenly realized there was potential in this case and preemptively said, "He's one of our city bureau's top investigators over the years! Tsk tsk, he's solved quite a few murder cases on his own!"

That's a valid point.

When Chen Shu was at Zhongshan Police Station, he worked in the public security team. In Donghai, the public security officers at the police station were responsible for handling cases. In addition to routine public security cases, they also had to handle some criminal cases involving arson, robbery, and firearms.

Indeed, Chen Shu solved several murder cases by chance, which is consistent with Chen Chuan's earlier statement of "many murder cases" in terms of the expression of quantifiers.

Chen Chuan is a show-off; he'll never be humble when he can show off, and he'll always find a way to show off when he should be humble. Now that he heard the forensic doctor Lao Tang's words had a hidden meaning, he naturally went along with it.

"Have you ever done on-site investigations?" Old Tang turned to Chen Shu and asked, seemingly expectantly.

After Chen Chuan's brief pause, Chen Shu quickly realized how to answer. If he were to confess to Old Tang, the forensic doctor, that he was just a local police officer, he would definitely be out of luck.

Chen Chuan will definitely laugh at this display of emotional intelligence afterwards.

Chen Shu nodded, trying to make his tone sound natural: "It's alright."

His demeanor was a bit weak, but it wasn't exactly a lie. When the police station was responding to calls, Chen Shu had occasionally assisted the guys from the criminal investigation department. After they became familiar with each other, he sometimes worked on things on his own a few times.

Old Tang asked suspiciously, "Young man, are you being modest, or are you hiding something?"

Chen Chuan patted his chest and said without blushing, "My brother's skills are so impressive that even the star forensic doctors in their branch are in awe of him, and it's even the talk of the town bureau where we never get involved in worldly affairs."

This tactic, seemingly a compliment, was actually a veiled mockery of Chen Shu for letting his confidante, Zhu Li, the beautiful forensic doctor from the Zhengming branch, fall in love with someone that had become the subject of much gossip even among the city bureau staff.

The matter he was talking about was quite serious, but coupled with Chen Chuan's winking and smirking expression, Chen Shu really wanted to go all out and give him a good beating.

"Alright, alright! Come with me!" Old Tang's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Chen Shu and pulled him towards the room where the murder scene was located. "I noticed that Huang Mao was acting a bit strange today. Turns out his family came to visit. Haha, it just so happens that the team can't spare anyone to do the crime scene investigation today, so it'll be good for you guys to come and lend a hand!"

These words were exactly what Chen Shu wanted to hear. After exchanging a few polite words, he took the disposable gloves and shoe covers that Lao Tang handed him, put them on neatly, and went inside.
