Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 250 is really a bit cold.

After receiving Li Chaoyang's call, Chen Shu didn't bother to put on his police uniform properly. He just grabbed a set of police trousers hanging by the bedside and rushed to the detention room immediately.

My mind was in a daze the whole way, and I couldn't figure out what kind of rope Qi Tiantian used, where she was hanging, and how she hanged herself in an empty iron cage!
And what about the auxiliary police officer Lin Fan who's in charge? Is he a pig?!
They didn't even notice them after they were hoisted up!

College students, please!

In half a minute, Chen Shu ran to the large iron gate of the detention room behind the office building.

The iron gate was open, and there was no one outside.

Chen Shu stood at the door, leaning against the iron door frame to catch his breath, then strode into the detention room with a livid face.

Five or six police officers were gathered around the cage where Qi Tiantian had been last night on the west side of the detention room. When they noticed Chen Shu coming over, they all turned their attention to him.

At present, Chen Shu, as the deputy director, is their backbone.

"Chief Chen, we've already notified 120, they'll be here soon."

"Chief Chen, the person is not breathing."

"Senior, I tried resuscitation before, but..."

Chen Shumo silently pushed through the crowd and approached the cage. He saw Qi Tiantian lying flat on the ground, her face dark red with some small blood spots. She was only wearing black underwear, and her two bare white legs were exposed. The black jeans she wore when she entered the cage last night were thrown to one side of the cage.

died!

The girl is really dead!

why?
Chen Shu, who had initially held a sliver of hope, was utterly disillusioned by what he saw.

He examined her closely for a while and found that the deepest crease was on the girl's chin, which then gradually moved diagonally upwards from both sides, finally disappearing behind her ears. There were no other injuries on the girl's body.

The signs of hanging were very obvious.

But in this empty cage, what did she use to hang herself?

Chen Shu glanced around the small cage and then focused his gaze on a pair of black jeans that had been tossed aside by someone and rolled into strips.

"Senior brother, when we came in, we saw her kneeling on the ground with her face against the iron fence, her head hanging from these jeans." Li Chaoyang's voice came from behind.

After listening quietly to Li Chaoyang's explanation, Chen Shu turned around and walked up to Lin Fan, the auxiliary police officer in charge. Staring into the other man's eyes, he asked, word by word, "Lin Fan, tell me what exactly happened?"

It was only then that Lin Fan realized that the police officer who had visited the detention room several times yesterday was Chen Shu, the deputy director of the Zhongshan Police Station, who had reportedly taken a month-long sick leave some time ago.

He forced himself to remain calm and replied, "Around six o'clock, she was fine; I even went over and chatted with her for a bit."

Chen Shu interrupted him directly, pressing him further: "Why didn't you notice? Why didn't you stop it beforehand? What were you doing at the time?"

Lin Fan's expression was very unpleasant, and he stammered, unable to speak.

Chen Shu was furious, unable to contain his emotions. His eyebrows shot up, and he shouted, "Tell me, were you asleep? Were you?!"

Although Lin Fan was a policeman in uniform, he had only been a detention guard for half a month. Now, facing the anger of a real police officer who had been enforcing the law and fighting crime on the front line for many years, he lost his previous composure and lowered his head, no longer making a sound.

He stood there trembling slightly, unsure whether he was regretting his carelessness, grieving the loss of a young life, or fearing the consequences.

"I'll go find the instructor."

Chen Shu gritted his teeth and uttered a single sentence before abruptly turning and walking out. Li Chaoyang quickly followed, grabbing his forearm and whispering, "Senior brother, what should we do with this guy?"

"You'll go to the hospital with the ambulance later. There's not much hope, but they still need to try and save him." Chen Shu paused for a moment, then gestured with his chin towards Lin Fan, who was still standing there dumbfounded. "Arrange for someone to cover for him in the detention room. Let Lin Fan go home first. Sigh!"

After leaving the detention room, Chen Shu first went to the front desk and reviewed the relevant surveillance video footage. He had been passively receiving information from others and wasn't entirely confident. He needed to understand the whole story before reporting to Zeng Hong.

In the video, after Chen Shu left the detention room, Qi Tiantian sat alone in the darkest corner of the northwest room of the cage. She neither made a sound nor showed any curiosity in looking around, nor any fear or unease in her dejected state; she just sat there alone.

It looked particularly empty. Chen Shu silently made up an adjective in his mind.

During this time, Lin Fan continued to lie on the table, flipping through his civil service exam materials, glancing up at Qi Tiantian's seat every ten or twenty minutes.

Around six o'clock in the morning, Qi Tiantian was still curled up in the corner of the cage, not moving at all. Lin Fan, probably tired from reading, walked over to the cage where Qi Tiantian was and said a few words to her.

As for what was said, it's unclear from the video.

A few minutes later, feeling awkward, Lin Fan returned to his desk, organized and packed his civil service exam materials into his bag, and then lay down on the desk to sleep.

"Lin Fan is too selfish!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Shu involuntarily clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. He had repeatedly instructed the other party that if they had a partner detained in the detention room, they absolutely must not do anything unrelated to their work.

Ensuring sufficient physical strength, diligently fulfilling duties during shifts, and always paying attention to the safety of detainees are the most basic job requirements for a guard auxiliary police officer.

Not long after Lin Fan fell asleep, Qi Tiantian, who had been staying in the corner, slowly got up and walked to the iron bars of the cage. She gripped the bars with both hands and looked in Lin Fan's direction.

After a moment, she took off her jeans, rolled them into a strip, and hung them on the iron bars of the cage, about chest height. Then she raised her hand to measure the height a few times, and even knelt on the ground and stuck her head into the rope made of her jeans to test it a few times.

After doing it several times, he finally knelt on the ground and hanged himself.

The whole process took about twenty minutes.

If Lin Fan hadn't been sleeping on duty, he could have completely prevented this tragedy from happening.

Chen Shu took out his phone and recorded several key time periods from the surveillance video of the detention room, then sent the recordings to Zeng Hong via WeChat.

The Zhongshan Institute does not have a director; currently, the work is overseen by instructor Zeng Hong.

After waiting for the video to be successfully transmitted on WeChat, Chen Shu walked to the interrogation room behind the duty room, took out his phone, and called Zeng Hong.

Over the phone, Chen Shu briefly recounted the events to Zeng Hong.

Zeng Hong said he would rush to the station immediately and asked Chen Shu to contact the duty leader of the branch office immediately after hanging up the phone to report the incident.

Chen Shu then contacted the duty officer at the branch office and reported the incident again.

After finishing everything, Chen Shu returned to the detention room. He wanted to check the situation again, still clinging to a sliver of hope that seemed impossible.

But when he stepped into the detention room, he found that Qi Tiantian had already been taken away by the hospital ambulance, and the detention room was empty.

Chen Shu walked alone into the gloomy cage, sat down directly on the ground, and leaned his back against the cold iron bars.

The scene was truly chilly.
