Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 195 Speaking According to Lips
Inside a police command vehicle on Gaodengqiao Road!
Executive Deputy Director Zhang, Special Police Brigade Captain Li Da, and Criminal Investigation Brigade Deputy Captain Li Meng sat together, their heads huddled together, all nervously staring at the screen of a mobile phone in Director Zhang's hand.

Liaison officer Xiao Li, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and handed a cigarette to a middle-aged bald man sitting in the back: "Why don't you go outside and have a smoke? I promise I'll return your phone to you later."

The bald man took the cigarette and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Okay, okay! You go ahead and do your thing! It's fine with the phone, I'll just leave it here! I'll come back for it tomorrow!"

As he opened the car door and was stretching his leg out, a fragrant and beautiful head peeked in.

"Hello! I'm Yan Chenxi, the grid manager of Liming. The police officers in the store are from our police station."

Yan Chenxi noticed that the three policemen in the car were completely ignoring her, focusing intently on a cell phone screen surrounded by the three of them.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that the three people staring at the jewelry store's video surveillance footage were none other than the store's security camera.

She yanked the obstructive bald man off the command vehicle and, without any hesitation, sidled inside. Her bright eyes, brimming with tension and anticipation, were fixed on her phone screen.

The original third of the headroom had suddenly become a quarter. Director Zhang grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction, but he still kept his eyes glued to the phone screen, afraid of missing a single frame.

Xiao Li stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket, turned around, and looked through the windshield of the command vehicle at the quiet entrance of the Friendship Gold Shop, muttering to himself, "This is fucking insane. Is this even a police officer from a local police station?"

Inside the Friendship Gold Shop!
The increasingly deranged thug raised the kitchen knife high and, without hesitation, slashed it down hard at the woman's forearm, which was stuck in the air!
Seeing that he could no longer stop them, Chen Shu, in a moment of quick thinking, shouted, "There's a ghost behind you! A ghost is coming! A ghost is coming!"

"Crack!"

Startled, the assailant turned around abruptly, and with the same motion, slashed the kitchen knife at the empty countertop.

The tabletop shattered again with a loud crash, and the flying shards of glass instantly scratched the unsuspecting female hostage's head.

Fortunately, I survived.

"No! Where are they? Where are they?" The thug looked around, searching for what he imagined, and his emotions began to rise again.

Chen Shu glanced at the female hostage who had completely collapsed on the ground, knowing that after so much time, she had exhausted all her strength and energy.

He didn't sleep a wink last night because of his uncle's drunk driving incident, and his condition was not good at the moment. Just now, the thug suddenly attacked and stabbed people, which made him feel a sudden heart palpitation and almost died on the spot.

He raised his hand to rub his temples, put on a smile again, and said as if coaxing a child, "Brother, we have to go, or it'll be too late!"

The thug, cursing, pulled a kitchen knife from the counter, seemingly intending to chop at the woman hostage's stuck hand.

Chen Shu quickly added, "We're not waiting for this woman anymore. Look, she's already pooped and peed, it stinks! Let's go quickly. Can't you smell it? It stinks so bad!"

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and nose with one hand and vigorously fanned the air in front of his mouth and nose with the other.

"Yes, yes! It stinks! It stinks!"

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's get out of here quickly!"

The thug kicked the woman sitting on the ground, then turned to leave the damned jewelry store with the kind-looking policeman, only to be met with a fist the size of a clay pot.

"Bang!" Taking advantage of the moment when the thug raised his foot to kick, Chen Shu took a step forward, raised his fist and slammed it hard into the other man's face. Then, he aimed at the man's empty waist and kicked him hard.

"what!"

Blood gushed out of his nose with a "whoosh," and the assailant's body slammed into the corner of the wall before a scream rang out.

Chen Shu grabbed the high chair next to him and lunged forward. He rushed to the thug, raised the iron back of the chair, and smashed it down hard on the man's arm that was holding the knife.

Suddenly, "Ah!"
Two times, "Ahhh!";
Three times, "Ahhh!"

A few seconds later, the assailant's right hand involuntarily dropped the kitchen knife, and he curled up in the corner, covering his head with both hands and screaming in agony, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Panting heavily, Chen Shu held onto the counter with his left hand and gripped the leg of the high chair tightly with his right. He waited until he could catch his breath before taking a few steps forward and kicking the kitchen knife that had fallen to the side away.

At this moment, I finally felt relieved.

"Dangdang!"

The sound of a glass door being smashed open came from the direction of the store entrance, followed by the chaotic sound of running footsteps.

A group of police officers in black uniforms, SWAT training uniforms, and plainclothes pushed past Chen Shu and rushed towards the thug who was slumped against the wall. Several other police officers followed behind, snapping photos with their phones or DSLR cameras.

The situation was finally under control. Chen Shu threw away the high chair that felt extremely heavy in his hand and dragged himself over to the female hostage who was still stuck in the broken counter.

He reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder, forcing a warm smile: "Don't be afraid, it's alright. We'll be home soon."

The female hostage, tears streaming down her face, didn't raise her hand to wipe them away. Instead, she reached out her free right hand and grasped the bloodied hand the young policeman had placed on her shoulder: "Oh, thank you, oh... I'm so sorry you got hurt. Thank you, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu realized that his right hand was covered in blood.

Then, thinking of the thug's drug addiction and the blood that splattered from his nose when he smashed the other man's nose, his heart sank.

He raised his hand and examined it for a moment, only to see that it was clearly just a few scratches on the glass, and his heart sank even further.

He must have accidentally bumped into the shattered glass counter. He didn't know whether to take the PEP or wait for the S-(B) blood test before making a decision. Suppressing his thoughts, he squatted down and looked for a handy tool nearby, still comforting himself, "Don't worry, I'll get you out in a bit."

At this moment, two special police officers dressed in special police training uniforms and fully equipped approached. One of them supported the female hostage, while the other used a black stick to pry open the counter. In a few quick movements, they pulled the woman out.

He then helped the female hostage and followed the group of police officers who were escorting the criminals out of the store.

Just before leaving, the female hostage, who was being supported by two special police officers, turned around, smiled, and opened her mouth.

The shop was bustling and noisy inside and out, and Chen Shu couldn't hear what the other person was saying, but he could still make out the words from their lip movements:
"Thank you."
