Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 284 Chase!
"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Several gunshots suddenly echoed in the courtyard. Chen Shu paused briefly, then without hesitation, pulled out his Type 64 pistol, released the safety, and sprinted towards the open wooden door on the third floor.

Upon entering the room, the first thing I saw was SWAT Captain Li Da and five other SWAT team members crouching in the corner, looking tense. Judging from their posture, they were confronting Boss Luo and his men inside the room.

Chen Shu glanced at the Type 92 pistols held by the other men and suddenly felt a pang of envy, reminiscing about the scene seven years ago when he had just graduated from the police academy and was interning at the city's special police detachment.

Shaking his head, Chen Shu focused his attention and asked in a low voice, "Li Da, do the people inside have guns?"

Li Da got up and walked to the corner, leaning against the wall and pressing himself against it, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the wall and shoot at the resisting criminals.

He pursed his lips, still shaken, and said, "There were two men, one of whom was armed. Damn, that guy was definitely something else. We stormed in without a second thought! They pulled out their guns and started fighting without even blinking!"

Chen Shu thought for a moment and said directly, "Li Da, I'll hold them off here. You take some men to get shields, stun grenades, or tear gas. We'll launch a full-scale attack later!"

"what?"

Li Da was puzzled and turned to look at Chen Shu, thinking to himself: How come the police officers from this police station know so much about SWAT tactics?
Chen Shu's attention was entirely focused on the inner room, and he didn't notice Li Da's suspicious behavior. He crept up to Li Da's side, lay down on the floor, and quickly peeked out twice:
"Li Da, I only saw one person wearing glasses sitting on the ground. Where is the other person?"

"He's right next to us, and we've blocked the stairs and the door; he can't escape!"

Chen Shu lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "I saw that there was an open window behind that person, so he probably ran away."

Li Da exclaimed in surprise, "They ran away?"

Li Da, who had originally planned to block the enemy and wait for reinforcements, panicked immediately. At this moment, six fully armed special police officers were confronting an armed assailant in the house, but the other party escaped. If this got out, he would have no chance to work in the Dongzhou police force. He couldn't afford to lose face like that!

Just as Li Da gritted his teeth and was about to rush out to find out what was going on, he was unexpectedly pulled back by Chen Shu, who was squatting on the ground.

Chen Shu shook his head and said solemnly, "Li Da, I only have a suspicion. What if that kid is lurking in the shadows waiting for us to go up, and then he throws a few more bullets at us? That's too dangerous. If he really ran away, let him go. Safety first. At worst, let him have his fun for a few days. He'll be online sooner or later anyway."

"Online" means that a criminal suspect is wanted by the police through an online warrant, and online arrest procedures are processed. This is generally used for criminal suspects whose crimes are proven and whose identities are confirmed.

Li Da glanced back at the five SWAT officers on duty, who were following behind him timidly, and sighed inwardly.

It's not their fault. All four special police officers were auxiliary police officers, so they had no reason to risk their lives alongside the regular police. As for the remaining officer, Xiao Zhang, he had only been with the team for a few years, and this was the first time he had encountered something like this, aside from patrolling. It was understandable that he was so nervous that he stayed in the back.

They were all people who went to work and received a salary, and everyone had parents, wives, and children at home. Li Da, who was over forty years old, especially agreed with Chen Shu's statement from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh well, so what if I lose face? At least I have Chen Shu, the famous daredevil of this unit, with me. It's not shameful." Li Da felt reassured, shoved his Type 92 pistol back into its holster, nodded to Chen Shu, and said helplessly:

"Director Chen, I'll listen to you."

Chen Shu also tucked the Type 64 pistol into his belt, smiled, and said, "Alright, I'll wait a bit!"

In a flash, Chen Shu suddenly thought of Li Chaoyang and his group who were blocking the back gate of the wall. They had no idea that the escaped man was carrying a weapon!
Perhaps the gunshots just now alerted them, but criminals who are caught and executed are likely to be driven to desperation by the extreme desire to escape, and may resort to violence to carve out a bloody path.

Absolutely no exaggeration!
Without further hesitation, amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd, Chen Shu leaped up and rolled into the room. He then peeked out from behind a pile of chemical equipment in the middle of the hall, looked around, took a short running start, ignored the bespectacled man sprawled on the ground, and flew straight out through the open window behind the wall.

Special Police Officer Zhang was completely dumbfounded and bewildered, his mind unable to process what was happening. He pointed in the direction Chen Shu had left and asked blankly, "Officer Li, didn't this guy just say that chasing people like this is extremely dangerous and disagree with us pursuing him? Why did he suddenly run off on his own now?"

Li Da recalled Chen Shu's sudden change in expression earlier, which clearly indicated that he had thought of some emergency, so he immediately chased after him.

He squinted and thought for a moment, then said, "Xiao Zhang, take some men and subdue that bespectacled man."

After saying that, he pulled out his Type 92 weapon and cursed, "Damn it, I'm the only one who hasn't fired a gun yet today. Let's go for it!"

They rushed out. Zhu Chaoran and Xiao Qiang, who had been following behind Chen Shu without saying a word, looked at each other again. As usual, Xiao Qiang took the lead, followed closely by Zhu Chaoran, and they also rushed out of the corner where they had been hiding.

Back gate outside the compound!

Li Chaoyang, a police officer from Zhongshan Police Station, along with three plainclothes officers, blocked the back door. In the darkness, four pairs of bright eyes looked at each other.

"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Three crisp gunshots suddenly rang out from the courtyard.

One of them said in a terrified voice, "Oh my god, are they going to use guns inside?"

The other person turned to look at the back door and exclaimed in alarm, "They're not coming this way, are they?"

Li Chaoyang, who had been working for nearly three years, was actually quite flustered, but he knew he couldn't show any weakness in front of everyone, otherwise his morale would be completely ruined.

He encouraged them, saying, "We have our SWAT brothers inside, so everything will be fine! Those idiots who dare to use guns are just asking for death!"

"Officer Li, are you carrying a gun?" the last person asked cautiously.

Li Chaoyang couldn't answer, and the others knew the answer.

"Officer Li, how about we stand a little further away?"

Although they were asking questions, the three of them had already slowly backed away into the shadows, clearly giving Li Chaoyang a definite answer through their actions.

Although Li Chaoyang was still standing outside the door, his heart was pounding wildly in his chest. His ears were ringing, and he turned his head to stare at the small back door, feeling his legs stiff and his mind a complete mess.

He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do next.

Just then, a familiar sound came from the courtyard.

"Chaoyang! Stay away from the door!"

Senior brother!

It's my senior brother!
At this moment, the confused Li Chaoyang grasped at the order as if it were a lifeline.

Breathing became easier.

He lifted his foot and followed the three plainclothes officers into the shadows not far away.

Once they reached a safe place, Li Chaoyang finally regained his composure. He stared intently at the back door, his mind a mixture of prayer and anticipation.

He just felt that in a little while, his senior brother, who always said "safety first," would walk out of the door with a smile and greet them.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The night was dark and chilling, with gunshots ringing out incessantly.
