Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 104 Heading to the Internet Cafe
"DiDi Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di!"

Chen Shu silenced the ringing of his phone for the third time, opened his eyes, and saw that it was already seven in the morning, and the sky outside was bright.

Two days have passed since I returned from the last trip to Jilin Province to arrest someone. Finally, Chen Shu caught me and gave me a good weekend of sleep.

He wasn't a lazy person who stayed in bed and didn't want to get up, but he was also a normal person who looked forward to sleeping in on the weekend, especially now that it was winter.

Unfortunately, I can't sleep in any longer today.

Last night, in the Zhongshan Police Station's group chat, the internal affairs officer Zheng Huihui sent a notice that the Civilization Office of China was coming to Dongzhou City for inspection and assessment of "civilized city" status, and all police officers were required to work as usual, with weekends canceled.

Routine operation.

Chen Shu took a shower, put on a black casual outfit, changed into Taobao brand Yeezy shoes made in Fujian province, grabbed his phone, and went out.

Since the Lamborghini kidnapping incident where he wrecked his Volkswagen Golf, he hadn't driven for a long time. He didn't even bother to repair the Golf; he simply had a used car dealer send a tow truck tow it away and sell it.

Upon arriving at the Zhongshan Institute, Chen Shu, as usual, went straight to the canteen behind the office building and enjoyed a delicious bowl of pork rib noodles. Before leaving, he also grabbed an apple and started munching on it.

On the way upstairs, I ran into Zeng Hong, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Oh, Xiao Shu, you're here so early today?" Zeng Hong raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Chen Shulun had been working non-stop for a while, constantly fighting crime and making arrests in other areas. Zeng Hong also wanted to give him a break.

Chen Shu took a bite, chewing incessantly, and said, "Mmm... Professor Zeng, can I not come today?"

Zeng Hong laughed and said, "Since you're already here, just focus on your work. By the way, did you know you've become famous?"

"It's popular? What's popular?" Chen Shu, who was engrossed in his munching, was taken aback.

Zeng Hong took out his phone, fiddled with it for a while, smiled mysteriously, and then strode upstairs.

A WeChat notification sounded.

Chen Shu, who was stunned on the spot, quickly took out his phone to check.

Zeng Hong sent me a news photo.

In the picture, a young police officer wearing black casual clothes is squatting on the outside of the train aisle, holding his coat and looking tired. He is "protecting" a criminal suspect on the inside side.

An insider explained that the time was tight due to the difficulty of escorting the prisoner back to justice. Because they couldn't buy seats and were worried the suspect might escape during the train journey, the scene in the photo of "police officers sitting in the aisle closely guarding the suspect" occurred.

The apple that Chen Shu was munching on fell to the ground.

The photographer's skill level is extremely high.

Chen Shu's "protective" action, if not for the subsequent note specifying that the two were a police officer and a criminal, would have been extremely ambiguous given the angle from which the two were filmed embracing.

Chen Shu lost the courage to click on the image link, feeling that the comments below the original post would definitely be a bunch of netizens making sarcastic remarks.

Unable to handle the setback.

Let's just take the photos.

He was just a low-level police officer at a local police station; nobody knew him.

Chen Shu walked dejectedly into the security team's office on the second floor, intending to make himself a cup of coffee to cheer himself up.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Chaoyang and Wang Chongming, who had arrived earlier, both stood up to greet him.

Li Chaoyang looked at him with admiration: "Senior brother, congratulations! Your look has truly taught everyone a lesson! The title should be 'Police in the New Era'!"

Wang Chongming beamed: "Our Zhongshan Institute has finally produced an internet celebrity! It's been worth all the years of training we've given you!"

What is this?

Completely embarrassed, Chen Shu fled. As he passed the duty hall on the first floor, Xiao Wang, the notorious gossip king of Zhongshan, shouted, "Attention everyone, a celebrity's here! Applause!"

"Senior brother! You're welcome!"

In his haste, Chen Shu vaguely heard a familiar voice.

"Hahaha!~"

"Hahaha!~"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Chen Shu ran out of the police station in a panic.

He left the office in a daze, and once the awkward noise was gone, he immediately perked up.

That's fine, I'll take this opportunity to visit the area.

I chose "Narnia Internet Cafe," which wasn't far from Zhongshan Institute, and went straight in.

A few years ago in Dongzhou City, due to the relaxation of the "Internet Cafe Operation License", all kinds of Internet cafes sprang up everywhere like mushrooms after rain.

During that period, the police station also placed a heavy burden on community police officers, including supervising internet cafes in the jurisdiction to monitor minors' internet use and to supervise fire safety.

This area wasn't under Chen Shu's jurisdiction, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, internet cafes have always been a breeding ground for filth and vice, so Chen Shu would go there whenever he had free time.

In recent years, in addition to meeting the institute's targets on time, Chen Shu's League of Legends skills and tactics have also improved significantly.

As Chen Shu walked into the "Narnia Internet Cafe," he glanced around and saw four plainclothes auxiliary police officers from the Zhongshan Police Station gathered in a row. Judging from the computer screen, it was probably PUBG, the game that everyone usually calls "chicken dinner."

The name comes from the fact that in this game, as long as you win, two lines of eight characters will appear on the screen: "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner".

Chen Shu walked over and greeted the group. Among the four auxiliary police officers was one of his regular colleagues.

"Xiao Lin, you're here too?" Chen Shu stood behind Xiao Lin with a smile, watching him roam freely in the game.

When Xiaolin turned around and saw that it was Chen Shu, she hurriedly took off her headphones and was about to stand up.

Standing behind him, Chen Shu reached out and pressed down on his shoulders: "You guys keep playing, I'm going to get a computer next door. It's a pity I don't play PUBG, otherwise we could play as a five-man squad."

There are no five-player squads in PUBG.

Xiaolin blushed, as if she wanted to say something.

Today is the day the "Civilization Office" of China is coming, and the whole station is working overtime. These four plainclothes auxiliary police officers obviously came over secretly.

Chen Shu never cared about these things.

First, the plainclothes team is under the management of Captain Zheng Jie, whose direct superior is Officer Ma, and he has no connection with the team. Second, the main function of the plainclothes team is to cooperate with the station's security team in combating crime, and it has little to do with the construction of "urban civilization".
Finally, Chen Shu still had some sense of the situation. Auxiliary police officers only earned a little over four thousand yuan a month. Did they expect them to work overtime and solve cases at all costs?

On a regular basis, all you need to do is cooperate with the police to complete the quotas.

In their spare time, as long as they are within the jurisdiction, they are available whenever needed, and what they are doing can be completely ignored. This way, when the office needs everyone to work overtime or stay up all night in critical moments, they will not say a word of "no".

Chen Shu walked to the front desk and ordered a milk tea for each of the four seated team members.

The overtime work on several cases recently, as well as the investigation and arrests, had kept them up for a long time, and Chen Shu felt somewhat guilty.

The milk tea isn't expensive; it's not worth much money. It's the thought that counts.

Auxiliary police officers and regular police officers do the same work and face the same dangers, but their salaries and benefits are worlds apart.

You really can't keep doing this without a bit of passion.
