Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 83 Sent to Detention Center 1
Office of the Executive Deputy Director of the Zhengming District Public Security Bureau.

Sitting alone at his desk, Director Zhang was still somewhat concerned about the young police officer who had come to report on his work earlier.

Although he's young, he handles things quite well, knowing to come and report on yesterday's casino case. It's just that he's still a bit impulsive.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. The screen displayed the name "Ren Guoqing".

"Dudududu!"

"Hey, Tiger, that young man you told me about last time just came to my office."

"Yes, that's the kid from the kidnapping case, the one who hit someone with his car. How's he doing?"

"Oh, so you were our branch's 'crime-solving expert' last year? Yes, I also feel a bit impulsive."

"Oh? You want to send him to your Criminal Investigation Department to get some experience? You can talk to the head of their department about it. I have no problem with that. Just let the political department know."

"The captain of the criminal investigation team? Isn't he still a police officer? He's being parachuted into your unit? That won't do, that's against the rules."

"I can't do anything about this. I'm the executive director, but even an executive director isn't omnipotent! Okay, I'll hang up now."

Director Zhang hung up the phone and instructed the liaison officer to prepare a copy of Officer Chen Shu's information and send it over.

Chen Shu chatted with Director Zhang in the office for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

He wasn't quite used to talking to bureau-level leaders.

I feel uncomfortable and my back hurts.

The most troublesome part is that you have to sit on half of your butt. This is too tiring for someone who is used to sitting slumped on a sofa or ergonomic chair all year round.

Director Zhang didn't ask about the casino case from last night, and Chen Shu didn't continue his report. The two tacitly let the matter drop.

When Chen Shu left, Director Zhang even pulled a can of Coke from under the coffee table and shoved it into his arms.

While he said to be careful, he probably really admired me. However, disobeying orders was indeed my fault; I'll have to be more careful in the future. Chen Shu mentally boosted his confidence.

After leaving Director Zhang's office, he went straight to the office of Director Wang, the leader on duty that day.

I'm lucky today, Director Wang is here too.

As soon as Chen Shu handed over the document, the other party didn't ask any questions and quickly signed his name in the place where Teacher Li from the Legal Affairs Brigade had folded up the case file.

Leaving Director Wang's office, Chen Shu breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten the case submitted for review almost done. All that was left was to get the 'director's seal' affixed.

This step is simple.

First, there are staff on duty in the office 24 hours a day, so you don't have to worry about not being there when you arrive, unlike going to a bureau leader for a signature where you have to wait there if they're not there. Second, the staff member in charge of stamping only looks at the signature and doesn't care about anything else. They won't ramble on about the case or bother with any other miscellaneous matters.

They just stamp the document; it's that simple.

Chen Shu took out his phone to check the time, thinking to himself that he should go to the branch office canteen for lunch first before getting the stamp.

As he walked toward the cafeteria, he opened his WeChat app to check unread messages.

After browsing through all the messages, I suddenly noticed an unread message from Huang Sixi.

"Brother Shu, I passed the subjective section of the legal professional qualification exam this time. So I'd like to invite you and Brother Pang to dinner tomorrow to celebrate. Are you both free?"

Chen Shu felt a surge of joy.

This is wonderful news!

This applies to both Huang Sixi and himself.

He didn't know whether Zhu Chaoran was free or not, nor did he care. In any case, Zhu Chaoran was definitely free.

After replying to the WeChat message, Chen Shu happily sang a song as he went to the branch office canteen, ordering himself a large bowl of food. It was already past 2 PM when Chen Shu returned to the Zhongshan branch office after completing the case approval process.

The duty hall on the first floor of Zhongshan Institute was already bustling with activity.

"The fights will never end! And there will never be enough people to arrest!"

He stood on the steps at the door for a moment, then ran back to the second-floor office, threw the case file bag onto his desk, and then went to the dormitory to wake Zhu Chaoran up.

Zhu Chaoran rubbed his puffy eyes, sat limply on the upper bunk, and mumbled sleepily, "Brother Shu, have you had dinner yet?"

So when this kid lay down, all he could think about was waking up and having dinner!

Chen Shu was furious: "Take your girlfriend to the detention center first."

Zhu Chaoran said "Oh" and immediately got up to tidy up.

Chen Shu noticed there was still some time before the agreed-upon 3 PM meeting time with the plainclothes team. He had stayed up all night the previous night and had been busy all day, so he was feeling a bit sleepy. He quickly took a break and went to the bathroom for a thorough shower.

……

3 PM, the duty hall on the first floor of Zhongshan Institute.

Having just finished showering and changed into his freshly washed police uniform, Chen Shu felt refreshed, as if he had just had a long nap.

Perhaps it was because of the dinner with Huang Sixi tomorrow night that he was so full of fighting spirit.

He first went to the plainclothes team's office to greet Captain Zheng Jie and thank him. Then, he led the six plainclothes team members he had arranged to go straight to the detention room on the first floor.

He handed the three pairs of handcuffs he had retrieved from the equipment room to Xiao Lin, a plainclothes team member standing nearby, and instructed him to handcuff the three criminal suspects who were about to be taken into custody.

He also secretly instructed them to tighten the handcuffs.

If it's too loose, they might get the wrong ideas on the way.

Law enforcement these days is too civilized. For these scumbags, the police can only focus on these minor details.

A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. It's a pity that these casino owners make money too quickly, truly building their happiness on the suffering of others, even the suffering of other families.

Often, those who run casinos or organize gambling activities are unaware of their crimes, and they will only shout that others came to gamble on their own.

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer.

Chen Shu sighed softly: "Alas, some people really can't resist the temptation of gambling. Once they get involved, it can ruin their whole family."

In severe cases, even threatening suicide by family members cannot stop them.

We can only rely on the police to guard this last line of defense.

Seeing that everything and the personnel were ready, Chen Shu handed over a relatively thin casino henchman to Zhu Chaoran and arranged for him to take two plainclothes officers in a Santana to Zhongshan People's Hospital.

He and the remaining four plainclothes officers escorted the other two suspects in a van belonging to the Zhongshan Police Station to Zhongshan People's Hospital.

Half an hour later, the two cars arrived at the hospital one after the other.

Chen Shu had no liking for the three suspects who ran the casino, and remained serious and unsmiling throughout the journey, adhering to the principle of speed and simplicity.

Law enforcement is too civilized now, and running a casino is too lucrative, so these people are repeatedly punished but never reform.

They commit crimes without remorse, attributing it all to bad luck. They never consider the families and deaths caused by gambling.
