Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 234 Disguised as a Security Guard
After Chen Shu ordered Yu Yu to cut off the power to Room B on the 13th floor, which was the room where the suspect was located, half a minute later, a series of urgent ringtones sounded in the property management office.

Wang Chongming, who has been a police officer for many years and is already quite old, couldn't help but clench his fist and make a victory sign when he heard the phone ring suddenly.

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, knowing that the other party had already fallen into the trap.

Da Majin sat back in the only chair in the office, pondered for a moment, and then answered the phone.

"Hey." Chen Shu deliberately stalled for time, hoping to disrupt the other party's rhythm.

Although the trick is old and the benefits are not particularly obvious, you get used to using it in daily life and end up using it without even realizing it.

"Hey! What have you been doing! Why are you taking so long to answer the phone!" A sharp female voice came through the phone.

"What are you yelling about! I just went for a smoke! Who are you? It's past get off work hours, why are you making these calls?" Chen Shu's tone was clearly impatient as he retorted, as if he was about to hang up the phone any second.

There was a noticeable pause on the other end, and it took a while before they replied, their tone much softer: "I'm a tenant in room B on the 13th floor. Why is there a power outage here? I see that the lights are on upstairs and downstairs. Is there a problem with my circuit?"

"How would I know? Call our electrician!" Chen Shu played hard to get. The property's electrician was in the power room right now, with Yu Yu by his side, so nothing would go wrong.

"Oh, sir, how about this? I don't know your electrician's number. Could you give me his mobile number so I can call and ask him myself? I won't bother you." The polite tone on the phone was quite different from when he first dialed in.

Chen Shu chuckled: "Beautiful lady, why didn't you just be so polite earlier? Well, no need to call, the electrician is right here with me. We'll go upstairs now, just wait a moment."

"Okay, okay, thank you, sir. Take your time, we're not in a hurry."

"Humph!"

After hanging up the phone, everyone in the room looked at Chen Shu with admiration.

Wang Chongming gave a thumbs up: "Great idea!"

Xiao Qiang exclaimed in shock, "Chief Chen, were you a security guard at the property management office before you became a policeman? You're making that sound so smooth!"

Security guard Lao Ma nodded repeatedly: "Boss, the way you're making that phone call is just like our manager. You must have been a manager before!"

Everyone around him was full of admiration, but Chen Shu was not happy.

It's often said that police officers, both on and off duty, tend to view people with prejudice. And that's precisely where the problem lies. Police officers deal with lawbreakers and criminal suspects on duty, so they begin by being suspicious. They also frequently employ investigative techniques and communication skills. Over time, their work becomes an integral part of their personal lives.

If doctors treat people's illnesses, then police officers are also a kind of doctor, the doctors of this entire society. They come into contact with the darkest corners of this society, so they are indifferent to emotions. Because they have seen so much, they feel that nothing is a big deal, giving people a cold feeling.

Chairman's Office, Room B, 13th Floor, Nebula Building
With the help of the light from outside the window, the outlines of some things in the office could still be vaguely seen.

Sister Li put down her phone and looked at a red dot burning in the darkness. She said helplessly, "Mr. Wang, the security guard downstairs has a really bad attitude and a terrible temper. If we weren't out of power right now, I would definitely go downstairs and teach him a lesson. Oh, by the way, we're lucky. The electrician is downstairs too. They're coming up together now."

The red dot plummeted and disappeared into the darkness.

"Cough cough." Mr. Wang's coughing sound came from the darkness.

"Sister Li, you can go ahead and get busy. Oh, and when you leave, have Xiao Zhou go downstairs and buy me a pack of cigarettes."

"Ok."

After closing the door behind her, Sister Li turned on the camera light on the back of her phone and hurried towards the main entrance. Passing the lounge, she saw the constant chatter and noise inside and simply turned around and went in.

"It's so noisy! It's affecting the sales department's phone calls!" "The power's out, what are you still doing in the company? Get out of get off work and go home right now!"

"roll roll roll!"

The lounge immediately fell silent, and after a long while, a voice finally rang out.

"Okay, Mr. Li. Brothers, let's go for a drink!"

"Go, go!"

"Haha, let's drink! Brother Zhang's treating!"

With a few rustling sounds, figures moved about in the lounge. As the tables, chairs, and benches creaked and groaned as they moved, almost everyone in the room left in no time, leaving only the thin man sitting alone by the door, the pimp.

Perhaps the noisy environment in the break room made it difficult for him to concentrate on his work. At this moment, he was wearing earphones and looking down at his phone, seemingly oblivious to everyone around him.

Sister Li initially entrusted the pimping business to him because he was a man of few words and hard work, unlike the other debt collection team members who were all slick and cunning.

By now, most of the people in the lounge had left, so she didn't want to cause any more trouble. She bent down, removed one of the other person's earphones, gave a soft remark, and then closed the door and left.

"Don't just focus on attracting customers; when you have free time, go check out the goods at the rental properties. If you want to have some fun yourself, you can also do it in your spare time."

Inside the elevator!
Chen Shu, Xiao Qiang, and Lao Ma stood inside the elevator, all looking up at the digital display above, waiting for the numbers to flash and jump up.

While waiting, Chen Shu, who was thinking about the pitch-black scene in the suspect's house, suddenly realized that there was a big mistake in the plan!

Chen Shu's original plan was to cut off the power this afternoon while a victim was processing a loan, and catch them in the act. It would still be daylight then, and whether or not there was power in the house wouldn't affect the arrest operation.

But now it's pitch black inside, you can't see your hand in front of your face. Even if there were ten pigs thrown in there, it would still be dangerous for the police to rush in in complete darkness, let alone more than a dozen criminal suspects who are still lurking inside, or even if they were just thrown in there.

The unexpected problem made Chen Shu's heart pound.

Fortunately, he was the one who was hit first, which was the only thing that could comfort Chen Shu.

Feeling a bit nervous, Chen Shu reached down to his lower back and felt much more at ease after touching the hard object.

In fact, for police officers, the placement of their handguns is very important.

Special police officers typically carry their pistols on their thighs. When on duty, special police officers generally don't need to disguise themselves; their only requirement is to draw their weapons quickly. And when a person's hand hangs naturally, the palm is closest to the outer thigh, making this the most convenient position to draw a weapon.

For example, Chen Shu, who is on a plainclothes investigation, will keep his pistol at his waist. The main reason is to make it easy to conceal. After all, the main purpose of a police officer carrying a gun is not to launch an attack, but more often to warn criminal suspects and to present an intimidating presence.

Chen Shu turned and patted Xiao Qiang on the shoulder: "Remember to stand behind me later."

Just as Xiaoqiang was about to say something assertive, an electronic voice came from above.

"Ding dong!"

The elevator reached the 13th floor, and the doors slowly opened.
