Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 257 A Shocking Murder Case
Chen Chuan curled his lips into a smile, adopting the posture of a victor.

He stood up and walked up to Chen Rou and Xiao Qi: "Hello, my name is Chen Chuan. My brother was able to get into this bar thanks to Yingying's help."

We're here as tourists, and this is our first time at this bar. We're completely new to the area. If you'd like, why don't you stay and have a few drinks? Maybe we'll meet again in the next life.

Standing in front of the two girls, Chen Chuan's face was perfectly proportioned under the bar's spotlights. He exuded masculinity, with thick eyebrows, a high nose, bright and piercing eyes, and perfectly shaped lips.

These words were exactly what the two girls wanted to hear.

Chen Rou and Xiao Qi immediately sat down on either side of Yingying, and after a few words of persuasion, they finally managed to calm her down.

Over the next few hours, the six of them played games like finger tag and black and white matching in the booth, then drank, and when they got tired, they swayed to the music of the bar and partied loudly with the people on the dance floor downstairs.

Chen Rou and Xiao Qi had a lot of fun and played wildly, and the wine that Chen Chuan had bought was quickly finished.

Chen Shu hinted that it was almost time to end the meeting, but Chen Chuan, egged on by Chen Rou and Xiao Qi, ran to the bar with a grin and grabbed another bottle of wild kudzu.

"Let the book make Fatty happy for a while."

From Chen Shu's perspective, Zhu Chaoran had completely shaken off her previous disappointment and bewilderment. With her big belly sticking out, she was making exaggerated faces in front of Yingying, making the other woman laugh out loud.

The two, with such different builds, actually looked somewhat compatible at that moment.

Chen Shu actually had a crush on Yingying, finding her straightforward, cheerful, and a tomboy. Especially when Zhu Chaoran stood dejectedly by the security guards at the bar entrance, it was she who nonchalantly walked over and pulled the fat man out.

Chen Shu understood Zhu Chaoran's thoughts perfectly.

"It's a rare opportunity for recuperation, so let Fatty play a little longer. He can get up a little later tomorrow." Chen Shu smiled and took the initiative to take the wild kudzu and Red Bull to mix for everyone.

"Give me five!"

Chen Chuan made a peace sign and then stood up to give Chen Rou a high five.

The atmosphere in the booths became lively again.

When pouring the drinks, Chen Shu noticed that Yingying was talking a lot, probably because she had drunk too much, so he deliberately put only half a bullet-sized cup of wild kudzu in her glass.

Seeing this, Chen Rou, sitting to the side, immediately poured Yingying another half cup of wild kudzu without ceremony, and said with her chin raised:

“Our Yingying won’t take advantage of that.”

This is practically pushing someone into a fire pit. Chen Shu looked at Yingying's best friend with some curiosity.

She had a round, chubby head, fair skin, a plump figure, and somewhat thick arms. Because of the bar lighting, it was impossible to tell how much she had drunk.

However, they can be quite wild when playing games, and when it comes to urging others to drink, they really don't discriminate. Someone who didn't know better might think they were part of the bar's atmosphere team, or a salesperson who specially dressed up to help someone sober up.

At this moment, a young man with long hair walked over. He wore glasses and looked quite refined; he was clearly a college student.

He stood beside Yingying, his words tinged with resentment: "Yingying, what are you doing drinking with other men at a bar!"

Well, their boyfriends are here. Chen Shu and Chen Chuan's hearts skipped a beat, and they exchanged a glance.

Yingying's face turned cold, and she said indifferently, "My friend, I need to remind you that we broke up three months ago. Don't bother me anymore; I will not get back together with you."

Upon hearing this, her ex-boyfriend looked distressed and begged her for forgiveness.

Yingying tilted her head back and responded coldly.

Chen Shu and the others couldn't interfere in this matter, so they could only silently clink glasses with Chen Chuan a few times, watching and drinking.

On the contrary, Zhu Chaoran, who was sitting next to Yingying, would sometimes frown as she listened to her ex-boyfriend recount their past romance, and sometimes sigh as she looked at Yingying, whose face was as cold as ice. She would also take the opportunity to meet up with Yingying's two best friends and whisper to each other.

At this moment, he was different from Chen Shu and Chen Chuan, who were watching the show.

Zhu Chaoran is someone who has already fallen into this trap.

About ten minutes later, Yingying suddenly stood up, pointed at her ex-boyfriend and cursed him a few times, then grabbed her two best friends and left.

The ex-boyfriend, left behind, turned pale and then flushed. He stomped his foot, ran to the small bar, ordered a drink, and began to drown his sorrows. Not long after, Chen Rou returned to retrieve the hat and sunglasses that Yingying had lent to Zhu Chaoran. After saying goodbye to Chen Shu and the others, she went to the small bar inside and bought a bottle of foreign liquor to take with her.

Before leaving, Chen Rou offered a few words of comfort to her ex-boyfriend, who was sitting alone at the bar drinking, and casually ordered another drink and placed it next to him.

As Chen Shu watched Chen Rou's figure disappear at the stairwell, he joked with Chen Chuan, "How strange, who would buy alcohol to comfort their best friend's ex-boyfriend?"

Seeing the same scene, Chen Chuan nodded: "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea."

Thinking of the foreign liquor Chen Rou had tucked into her bosom before leaving, Chen Shu suddenly asked, "How much was a bottle of the wild kudzu you just bought?"

Chen Chuan was taken aback: "Over a thousand? Are you going to take the A?"

College students these days are really rich; they buy alcohol at bars and take it out to drink.

Money talks!

Chen Shu turned around and looked at the newly prepared "depth charge" on the table. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Chuan, how about we store the wine and drink it next time?"

Chen Chuan was furious: "Get out! Are you going to come back for recuperation next year? Hurry up and drink this and go back to the hotel to sleep."

After experiencing the love and hate between their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, all three of them lost their appetite for drinking and dawdled for a long time before finally finishing the newly opened wild kudzu wine.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhu Chaoran drank almost half a bottle by himself, in addition to the alcohol he had drunk earlier. He really drank quite a lot tonight!

Before leaving the booth, Chen Shu glanced at the small bar and saw that her affectionate ex-boyfriend had left. Only the two glasses he had drunk from remained on the bar, and judging from the reflection, one of them seemed to still have some liquid left.

The waiter hadn't cleared the cups yet, probably because he'd just left. Chen Shu didn't think much of it and went down the stairs.

The three walked out of the bar's long corridor. Zhu Chaoran, still under the influence of alcohol, staggered along, clearly drunk.

Zhu Chaoran clenched his fist and shouted, "Brother Shu, Brother Chuan! I've made up my mind! When I get back to Dongzhou, I'm going to study like crazy! I'm determined to become a full-fledged police officer this year!"

Chen Shu remembered the dusty civil service exam materials that Zhu Chaoran had left on his desk: "Okay, I believe you."

Zhu Chaoran continued, talking to himself, "Back then, I was talking to her about how we caught that kidnapper, and her eyes were wide open, filled with envy and admiration. Yeah, practically overflowing."

Chen Chuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Chen Shu shrugged: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Chen Chuan pulled out a pack of Chen Shu cigarettes—the brand was unclear, but he knew they were expensive—and offered one to Chen Chuan: "You don't understand the hearts of us men in the nightlife scene. At least on this day, our love is sincere and belongs only to one person."

"Pah! I don't care."

The two chatted and laughed as they helped the unsteady Zhu Chaoran slowly walk out of the bar.

Late at night, the cold wind howled through the treetops, and the streets were deserted except for people coming out of the bars to finish their drinks.

"Hoohoo!"

"boom!"

A loud thud came from the side.

The three people who had just left the bar suddenly sobered up and looked in the direction from which the sound came. They saw a long-haired woman in a red dress lying motionless on the ground.

The little red vest she's wearing looks somewhat familiar.
"what!"

"Ah! Ah!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Zhu Chaoran suddenly knelt down on the ground and screamed.

A desolate scene, piercing the night sky.
