Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 84 Sent to Detention Center 2
The physical examination at Zhongshan People's Hospital went very smoothly this time, and there was no recurrence of the situation where Chen Shu was stopped by the crowd while queuing to pay his fees, as happened during the Zhou Yongcheng pickpocketing case.

However, when performing an electrocardiogram and ultrasound on the scarred man, his hands, which were handcuffed with silver chains, became a problem.

Generally speaking, the medical examination items for individuals sent to detention centers or jails are not fixed. They are conducted based on the individual's specific circumstances.

During the physical examination of the three suspects, the main perpetrator, a man with a scarred face, mentioned that he had a heart condition.

When Chen Shu took him to get an electrocardiogram and ultrasound, they encountered a problem.

The doctor casually asked the scarred man to remove the handcuffs for the examination.

As the main culprit in the casino operation case, he might be locked up for years. Perhaps he'll seize this opportunity to resist and escape.

It's too risky for police officers to bring their partners out; they have to keep a close eye on them at all times, and they really can't let their guard down for even a moment.

Especially in public places like hospitals. These types of places have extremely high foot traffic, and the population is mainly composed of the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled.

If it weren't for the fact that medical examinations are an essential step in the process of escorting detainees, police would try their best to avoid places like this when escorting detainees.

After considering for a while, Chen Shu instructed Zhu Chaoran to go to the police car and get another pair of plastic straps to replace the handcuffs on the other person.

He then handcuffed one hand to himself and the other to the scarred man's hand. Then he unlocked the scarred man's handcuffs and handcuffed one hand to the scarred man's foot and the other hand to the plainclothes officer Xiao Lin's foot.

Only then did Chen Shu feel at ease allowing the scarred man to begin the physical examination of his heart.

The emergency room doctor on duty, who had watched the whole thing unfold, shook his head and sighed deeply as he left, saying, "I've finally found a group even more vulnerable than us doctors."

It probably refers to the three objects that were copied.
The police officers all offered this reassurance.

After the hospital check-up, two police cars from Zhongshan Police Station rushed to Zhengming District Detention Center without stopping.

To reiterate, those who violate the "Regulations on Public Security Administration" and are subject to administrative detention will be sent to detention centers; criminal suspects who violate the "Criminal Law" will be subject to criminal detention, with their destination being detention centers.

If detainees are sentenced to imprisonment in a future court trial, the time they spend in detention can be deducted from their sentence.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the detention center and were waiting for the guard to check their documents, the scarred man made another request: "Officer, I would like to contact my family and ask them to send me some underwear, clothes, and slippers."

Chen Shu chuckled to himself, convinced that this guy was a repeat offender, had been in and out of jail several times, and was quite experienced.

"It's alright. Just take off your belt and shoelaces later and leave them with me along with your other personal belongings. You can pick them up from me whenever you come out," Chen Shu said nonchalantly.

Scarface was silent for a moment, then said, "Officer Wang promised to deposit the money in my pocket into my account at the detention center."

Chen Shu knew that Scarface wouldn't lie, something that could be clarified with just one phone call.

Regardless of what agreement Wang Chongming reached with Scarface during the interrogation, the integrity of the police requires mutual maintenance and adherence among colleagues.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I will inform your family about your situation next week. There is more than two thousand yuan in cash in the file folder. I will deposit two hundred yuan into your account at the detention center, and I will return the rest to your family later."

Scarface was a shrewd and experienced man, and he knew the policeman in front of him didn't like him. Now that he had gotten the better deal, he quieted down.

After checking the ID, the gatekeeper saluted and opened the gate.

Two police cars from Zhongshan Police Station drove into the detention center one after another.

...The detention center's reception hall.

Compared to the detention center where people are sent in by the Zhengming District Branch, the reception hall of the detention center appears much more formal and orderly.

The spacious detention hall, covering more than 300 square meters, is rectangular in shape. A row of front desks and glass panels extending from the counters to the ceiling divide the hall in two, with only a small iron door in the western corner.

Criminal detainees are escorted through this small iron gate to enter and exit the detention center.

In addition to its larger building area, the staffing of the detention center's reception hall is also much more comprehensive than that of the detention center.

Aside from the medical personnel, the detention center only has two police officers responsible for admitting detainees: one regular officer and one auxiliary officer. Sometimes, only one officer will be present when detainees arrive in the middle of the night.

After all, it's administrative detention, which lasts at most fifteen days. Neither the offender nor the law enforcement officers take it very seriously.

In the detention center's reception hall, the criminal suspects they face are all sentenced to more than a month in prison, and there are even many criminals who have been imprisoned for several years or more than ten years.

We must be on high alert.

Chen Shu and his group entered the detention center's reception hall.

As soon as the automatic glass door in the lobby opened, he immediately saw his old classmate sitting behind the nameplate of the duty officer inside the glass wall, and the other classmate also glanced over at once.

Within seconds, the small iron door on the west side of the hall was opened from the inside. Chen Shu's old classmate, a tall, dark-skinned, and extremely energetic young policeman, rushed over.

Chen Shu smiled, his eyes crinkling: "Slow down, Cheng Mian."

The young police officer from the detention center, whom Chen Shu called Cheng Mian, came to his side. He held his duty pistol with one hand, stood ramrod straight, and gave a sharp look at the group of people following behind Chen Shu.

He looked disdainful, waved his hand at the suspects, and shouted sternly, "What are you looking at! Get inside right now!"

However, when he turned to face Chen Shu, his eyes lit up with joy. He laughed loudly twice before saying, "Haha! Chen Shu! What a rare guest!"

The Zhongshan Police Station's anti-crime task force has a monthly quota of two officers for criminal detention. Assuming each suspect is sent to the detention center once, Chen Shu would be sent twice a month.

Detention center police officers work a shift every ten days, and Cheng Mian spends three days a month in the reception hall.

With all that back and forth, these two old classmates really don't get to bump into each other very often.

Chen Shu, who was used to Cheng Mian's hearty laughter whenever they met, didn't take it to heart and patted the other's forearm lightly twice: "It's my fault. No matter how busy things are at the institute, you still have to make time to get together with the brothers occasionally."

Cheng Mian nodded: "That makes sense."

The two chatted as they entered the hall. Chen Shu handed the materials to Zhu Chaoran, who had come with him, and gave him a few instructions.

Zhu Chaoran was very familiar with the procedures for entering the detention center. Without stopping his two classmates from catching up, he led the three criminal suspects to line up and begin processing the formalities.

Cheng Mian pulled Chen Shu aside and told him about the interesting things that happened in the detention center. Chen Shu listened with interest, nodding but not interrupting. The two would sometimes burst into laughter, and sometimes furrow their brows at the same time.

Even from a distance, onlookers thought the two men, dressed in the same police uniform and wearing the same rank insignia, were a perfect match. They weren't blood brothers, but their bond was stronger than that of blood brothers.
