Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 131 What to do

Director Zhang, whose full name is Zhang Xuming, is the executive deputy director of the Zhengming District Public Security Bureau. The Criminal Investigation Division is one of the units under his supervision.

The executive deputy director is in charge of the same things as the bureau chief.

The head of a public security bureau is usually from out of town, and serves a five-year term. The political commissar, at the same level, is nominally the second-in-command, but is in charge of political work.

So, in the Public Security Bureau, he was a local who had spent decades working as the executive deputy director of the local public security agency.

Chen Shu, who was originally just enjoying his tea with the mindset of buying lottery tickets and waiting for the results, was furious when he heard Zeng Hong's words.

Standing there, he was a little slow to process what he had just learned. He had thought that after being promoted to deputy section chief, the few units he could go to would be police stations, public security brigades, or patrol police brigades, or at most, the economic crime investigation brigade related to his university major. This was only because the nationwide anti-fraud campaign was in full swing during this period.

I never expected to be transferred to the criminal investigation team.

Zeng Hong poured a cup of fresh tea, placed it opposite him, and gestured with his hand: "Sit down and let's talk."

Chen Shufu sat down again, preoccupied with something on his mind, and only took a symbolic sip. He rubbed his temples and said, "Some time ago, Li Meng from the Criminal Investigation Department suddenly came to work with me on a case involving suspected rape. I suppose it's for this reason."

Zeng Hong waved his hand, interrupting, "These are all things of the past. Let's analyze where you should go next."

Chen Shu nodded. Zeng Hong, who had worked in the public security bureau for decades, was more qualified to speak on this matter.

“Since we’re all deputy section chiefs, let’s talk about positions. Staying in the station sounds nice, but it’s really just being a grid police chief. You’ll have to take another step forward to become a deputy section chief and deputy director. If you go to the Criminal Investigation Division, you’ll skip the detective and instructor roles and immediately become a squad leader. The next step will either be to be promoted directly to deputy battalion commander or become a deputy director with a full section chief position.”

"This is a multiple-choice question that even a fool would know how to answer!" Zeng Hong said, leaning back on the bench with a satisfied smile.

Although he was very annoyed when he first heard from Director Zhang Xuming that Ren Guoqing from the Criminal Investigation Department wanted to bail someone out of his office.

However, Director Zhang patiently explained the differences between the positions to him and patted his chest to guarantee Chen Shu's future development.

After weighing the pros and cons, the group agreed that transferring Chen Shu to the Criminal Investigation Department as a squadron leader was the best option for him.

Chen Shu lowered his head and thought for a while, then picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Just as he was about to speak, Zeng Hong interrupted him again.

"The announcement won't be made public until next Monday. You have five days to think it over and give me your answer."

Chen Shu nodded, stood up silently, and walked out.

Zeng Hong looked at Chen Shu with satisfaction. This was the last apprentice he had taken on before retiring, who would now follow the powerful Zhang Xuming on the road to success.

In the midst of lightning and thunder!

His expression suddenly froze as he recalled that a few months ago, Chen Shu had refused a transfer to the provincial police academy.

"This kid, is he really an idiot?"

You can go to the Criminal Investigation Department.

To handle some truly big cases.

However, according to Zeng Jiao, I should have stayed at the institute; I went to the Criminal Investigation Division because of Director Zhang's favor.

Chen Shu slowly walked down the stairs, a faint sense of dissatisfaction rising in his heart.

If Chen Shu agrees to the change of his work unit this time, even though Zhang Xuming is a powerful local figure, at the very least...

The process of promotion at the grassroots level is not as simple as the words "deputy section chief" and "section chief" written on paper; it is generally divided into four steps.

For example, Chen Shu's promotion should have followed the normal promotion process as follows: Grid Police Chief (Deputy Section Chief) -> Deputy Director (Deputy Section Chief) -> Deputy Director (Section Chief) or Instructor (Section Chief) -> Director (Section Chief).

There are two and a half levels between the secondary stock and the primary stock!

Zeng Hong was happy about this: if Chen Shu were to be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department as a squadron leader, he would essentially be skipping the level of grid police chief (deputy section chief).

This is equivalent to avoiding a year or even two of detours in one's career.

After leaving the instructor's office on the third floor, Chen Shu returned to the duty hall on the first floor, intending to have dinner first and then think about the matter properly when he got home.

He did have high hopes for Xing Da; Director Zhang was indeed a good person, capable and thoughtful, and had risen through the ranks from the grassroots to a leadership position. However, judging by the matter, not the person, Chen Shu was inherently somewhat averse to taking sides.

"Senior brother, are you free?"

As Chen Shu passed through the lobby, he heard the voice of trainee police officer Xu Lei. He turned around and walked over.

"what's up?"

Xu Lei's expression stiffened: "Senior brother, I've come across a case that I'm having trouble with. Could you come and take a look?"

As a trainee police officer, Xu Lei does not have law enforcement authority, so his main job at the station is to take statements from complainants and he does not go out to answer calls. Of course, the completed statement is ultimately signed and confirmed by the on-duty police officer.

Chen Shu nodded and led Xu Lei past the front desk to the interrogation room at the back.

In the interrogation room sat a man with his hands behind his head and his elbows resting on the table. A backpack, resembling a schoolbag, was placed on the chair next to him.

The two men entered the interrogation room. The man, who had clearly heard the noise, remained motionless. However, the bulging veins on his hands, which he held to his head, betrayed his nervousness. Was it regret? Or anger and helplessness?

Chen Shu walked to the computer and sat down, looking at the interrogation transcript on the screen, and gained a general understanding of the case.

The person who reported the case was a college student.

According to the college student's report, he added a stranger of the opposite sex on QQ while surfing the internet. The other party claimed to be a live streamer on a certain platform. Over the next few days, the two chatted through text and voice, and their relationship quickly developed.

Later, under the other party's guidance, she downloaded an unknown software, which the other party called a "live streaming software," and she became a streamer on this software.

Then, under further enticement from the other party, the two began a nude video chat. After the chat ended, the other party sent a voice call, and a man's voice came through the phone.

The other party claimed that his entire contact list had been downloaded using a virus disguised as "live streaming software," and that his nude chat video had also been recorded. They threatened to send the video to a group of people if he didn't pay.

This is a classic case of nude chat scam!
"Dangdang!"

Chen Shu picked up the mouse and slammed it hard on the table, his brows furrowed in anger!

"These inhuman beasts!"
