Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 285 Li Da Injured
After escaping through the window, Luo originally intended to escape through the back door of the courtyard. However, when he reached the door, he pressed his ear against it and listened for a while. He vaguely heard people talking outside and realized that there were police officers squatting outside. So he returned to the way he came and tried to bypass the building and escape through the front door.

Hearing the sound of police chasing him from behind, he carefully hid in a corner, intending to run away in the opposite direction after the police had passed.

As a result, the policeman ran past the place where Boss Luo was hiding not far away, and then he also hid behind a wall. He then raised his voice and shouted to the policemen outside the house.

Saying he was hiding behind the wall only refers to the direction of the back door.

As for Boss Luo, who had already run back and hidden himself, the policeman had completely exposed his entire body to him.

Why won't you give me a way out?!

Enraged, the reckless thug, Boss Luo, emerged from his hiding place, pulled out his gun (a wooden gun) from his pocket, and aimed it intently at the opponent's back.

"Chen Shu, lie down!"

At this moment, Li Da, who had run out with Chen Shu, jumped out of the window and saw the fleeing criminal pointing his gun at the oblivious Chen Shu.

In desperation, Li Da could only shout a reminder.

Chen Shu, who was already on high alert, knew there was danger behind him after hearing the warning. He dodged and rolled forward to safety without thinking.

Before Luo could even take aim, the policeman had vanished. Furious, he turned around and looked at Li Da, who was closing in on him. Without thinking, he fired without even aiming.

After emptying his gun, without caring whether he had hit the target or not, Boss Luo threw the pistol on the ground and charged at Li Da while yelling.

Unexpectedly, the next second, his foot suddenly tightened and he slammed his face into the ground, losing consciousness.

It turned out that while Luo Laoda was facing away from him towards Li Dakai (Mu-Cang), Chen Shu sneaked up in two steps, performed a back knee throw, and slammed the man hard onto the concrete ground. Then, he stepped forward with his left foot, straddled the man's waist, grabbed his head with his right hand, lifted it to a certain height, and slammed it hard onto the ground again.

After two times, they took the opportunity to handcuff the already limp and powerless Boss Luo.

Chen Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief, kicked the other man's head but received no response, knowing he had been knocked unconscious. He walked over and picked up the pistol the man had thrown on the ground, weighed it in his hand for a few moments, and muttered:
"Awesome! M1911!"

Stuffing the weapon into his pocket, Chen Shu turned back and shouted, "Li Da, it's alright. The man has been brought under control."

After a while, seeing that no one responded, Chen Shu had a vague sense of foreboding.

He glanced back at Boss Luo, who was lying motionless on the ground, and then ran back in the direction Li Da had come from.

Going around the corner, they saw Li Da slumped against the wall, sitting on the ground, his eyes glazed over. Zhu Chaoran and Xiao Qiang squatted beside him, helplessly pressing their hands on Li Da's thighs.

"Li Da!"

Chen Shu shouted and pounced over.

He understood that when Boss Luo was lying in ambush, preparing to shoot at him, it was Li Da who had just run out of the house who spotted him and alerted Chen Shu. As a result, Li Da was shot in the leg by Boss Luo.

Chen Shu pushed Zhu Chaoran and Xiao Qiang away, then pressed his hands together forcefully against the wound on Li Da's thigh. Blood trickled out between his fingers, and he couldn't stop it.

His eyes were red, and he was filled with remorse. Seeing the wound, he knew that Li Da was seriously injured, and he could only grit his teeth and say, "Li Da! Hang in there!"

Cough, cough, cough, Li Da coughed violently, barely opening his eyes, and asked, "I think I heard you say that the people have been caught?" Chen Shu nodded with tears in his eyes: "They've been caught, all of them have been caught."

"That's good. Damn it, it hurt like hell. It hurt so much!"

Immediately, Li Dayi closed his eyes and fainted from the pain.

Early morning, Zhongshan Police Station, third floor, deputy director's office.
Xu Chaofan lay on the sofa, his arms propped up behind his head, one leg crossed over the other on the coffee table, fast asleep; Li Chaoyang sat in Chen Shu's ergonomic chair, his arms crossed over his chest, his head leaning back on the chair cushion, his legs crossed on the desk, his snoring mingling with Xu Chaofan's, like two people performing a crosstalk routine.

Chen Shu pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a stack of files. The room was filled with smoke, and several plumes of smoke escaped as soon as the door opened. Clearly, the two people sleeping inside had also been up all night.

He placed the case file on the coffee table, picked up an ashtray piled high with cigarette butts, emptied it into the trash can, and clapped his hands: "Get up, let's get to work."

Li Chaoran yawned widely, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Senior brother, is it my turn?"

Chen Shu pointed to the files on the coffee table and said, "We have already completed the statements of the main culprits. Go through them first before you take the statements of the accomplices. Remember not to let them conflict with what we have here."

Li Chaoyang jumped off the chair, stretched, readily agreed, then grabbed the files from the coffee table and hurriedly ran downstairs.

Xu Chaofan, who had also woken up, sat on the sofa with a calm expression and a slight frown. He lit a cigarette for himself and then handed one to Chen Shu when Chen Shu sat down.

"Missing him, huh?" Chen Shu took a drag and gently exhaled the smoke.

Xu Chaofan squinted and remained silent, only smoking in silence.

The person in the conversation was Xiao Yang, a new police officer from the former Dongming Police Station. Like Li Chaoyang, he graduated from Donghai Police Academy and was a very energetic young police officer. However, he was punished for tipping off the KTV case and then resigned voluntarily.

After a long while, Xu Chaofan forcefully stubbed out his cigarette. When he looked up, he had already put on a playful smile again: "Director Chen, we're brothers, so let's keep things clear. How are we going to divide the credit now?"

Chen Shu was taken aback, then said thoughtfully, "We in Zhongshan don't care about credit, but the top credit should go to Li Da from the special police, and the rest can be yours. Is that alright?"

Xu Chaofan first asked how Li Da was doing, and after receiving Chen Shu's reply that he was alright, he laughed heartily and said, "Li Da got shot, I have no problem with that. On the other hand, if you don't take any of the money, do your men have any objections?"

"Once this case is closed, give them a week off."

Chen Shu said in a simple and honest way.

"This is allowed? What about those on duty? You're just giving people seven days off like that! What will the other colleagues in the office think? Will your instructor agree to that?"

Xu Chaofan was shocked at first, then pursed his lips and sat down again with a look of disbelief on his face.

Chen Shu counted on his fingers one by one and said, "This case will need to be investigated for at least two more days. So, the two days of investigation so far have been equivalent to four consecutive days of work. Giving us five days of rest is reasonable."

As for duty shifts, there's an older colleague in the security team who doesn't handle cases anymore; he'll cover for me during the day and I'll cover for him at night. I'm not going to worry about the instructor; at worst, I'll get a scolding, consider it a lesson in moral education.

Xu Chaofan touched his nose and grasped the key point: "You really don't treat yourself like a human being."
