Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 324 My name is Xu Mingliang, and I am a volleyball player.

That afternoon, Chen Shu had nothing to do at work, so he approached the duty team, wanting to go on patrol outside and experience what it was like to be a special police officer on patrol.

In addition to the brigade leaders and internal affairs staff, the special police brigade has eight police officers. Therefore, the brigade's duty teams are arranged in an eight-day rotation, with six people in each duty team: one brigade leader, one squadron leader, and four team members.

Today's duty team is Xu Mingliang, and Chen Shu took Chen Chuan and got into Xu Mingliang's car.

Although it's called a duty vehicle, it's actually the same as the patrol vehicles of other squadrons. They all drive Ford Transit troop carriers with black paint and the words "SWAT" on the outside.

The only difference is that other patrol cars are arranged independently by each squadron and can go wherever they want. The duty cars, on the other hand, must obey the dispatch of the branch command center. Sometimes they go to nearby locations to pick up and respond to calls, and sometimes they assist the police station in arresting violent criminals.

The group got into the car, and the driver set off.

Along the way, Chen Shu, Chen Chuan, and Xu Mingliang chatted for a while.

Chen Shu took out some cigarettes from his pocket, distributed them around the car, and finally handed one to Xu Mingliang, saying with a smile, "Brother Xu, we're quite destined. We were colleagues in the brigade eight years ago, and I never expected to be colleagues again now."

After graduating from the police academy, Chen Shu and Chen Chuan, in accordance with the Dongming Municipal Public Security Bureau's plan, were first sent to the Municipal Special Police Detachment for a year of rotational training before being assigned to various local branches.

Xu Mingliang took the cigarette, shook his head and said, "That's for sure. Back then, we were all rolling around in the mud. I never thought that just a few years would pass and one of you would become a brigade leader and the other would go to the municipal bureau. Tsk tsk, I'm so envious, Brother Xu."

Chen Shu reached out and lit a cigarette for Xu Mingliang, smiling, "But Brother Xu, you're still our Brother Xu. Chen Chuan, don't you think so?"

Chen Chuan touched his neatly fitted, brand-new SWAT gear and chimed in, "Of course! Back then, Brother Xu was the only platoon leader in the brigade. That title was way more impressive than any battalion commander!"

Although 38-year-old Xu Mingliang had already made a name for himself in the brigade by lying flat, he was extremely happy to be in front of four squadron members and being praised by his current deputy brigade leader and colleagues from the municipal bureau. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"You guys are really good with words. But with you all flattering me like this, I won't dare to lie low in the team anymore."

Chen Shu chuckled inwardly. This guy, who came from the SWAT team, was indeed an open-minded person. He actually admitted to his past complacency in front of his direct superior.

However, he is, after all, a senior member of the special police force, so we have to give him face. In the police force, seniority still matters.

Chen Shu laughed and said, "Chen Chuan, do you still remember Brother Xu's wise words from back then?"

Chen Chuan laughed heartily, watching as Xu Mingliang finished the cigarette Chen Shu had just offered him, then pulled out his own pack of white cigarettes and handed it to him: "How could I forget? Brother Xu never hesitated to criticize the deputy branch captain. Let me think about what he said. Hmm, I've risked my life for over a decade, what's wrong with lying down for a bit!"

"Ha ha!"

"Captain Xu is amazing!"

"Captain Xu, why didn't you ever tell us about your platoon before? Listening to Chen Da talk about it, it sounds so impressive."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about! Let me tell you, Chen Da was really something else in our unit back in the day. He only had a few months here and he already broke several shooting records for the unit. If the city bureau hadn't already made arrangements for that batch of new officers, he would have been a shoo-in for the sniper squad! Those were the elite of the elite, way more impressive than those wolves in the assault team!"

In front of Captain Li Da, Xu Mingliang, who had always been fearless, suddenly felt a little guilty. He scratched his head and his tone even carried a hint of respect for Chen Shu, the newly appointed deputy captain.

Chen Shu smiled slightly, knowing that when dealing with an old comrade like Xu Mingliang, one could only flatter him, never be arrogant. Besides, as he himself had said before, he had been a leader for over a decade and truly deserved everyone's respect.

Wearing heavy protective gear, all alone, facing a missile that could explode at any moment, most police officers simply couldn't bear that mental state.

Life hangs in the balance between breaths, just a thin line or two away.

"Life and death are of paramount importance, yet also of insignificant importance," Chen Shu murmured to himself.

In the world of bomb disposal experts, only success is allowed; there is no failure.

My name is Xu Mingliang, and I am a bomb disposal expert. "Xu Mingliang! Come back here! The bomb disposal vehicle is about to arrive! That's an order!" A senior police officer wearing a white police shirt and a wheat stalk hanging from his shoulder shouted angrily at the bomb disposal police officer wearing a baggy bomb suit.

Without stopping, the other person raised his right hand high and swung it from side to side for a while, then turned his back to the crowd and resolutely walked into the battlefield without gunpowder.

This was ten years ago, on a sunny holiday morning. The site of the bombing was crowded with tourists, and because the highway was toll-free, police cars carrying bomb disposal robots and a range of bomb disposal equipment were stuck at the highway exit.

Xu Mingliang patted his longtime good brother—a green uniform weighing 35 kilograms, including a helmet—and walked straight into the scene of the incident.

"To be honest, my good bro, you're still a bit too green. If I come back safely this time, I'm thinking of changing the color. You won't mind, will you? After all, I'm about to get engaged, you have to give me some face, right?"

Xu Mingliang took a deep breath. Ever since the brigade put in the effort to buy him equipment such as robots and water cannons, he had rarely personally gone out to fight.

"Zizzi."

After the usual electronic tone, the steady voice of the old superior came through the walkie-talkie.

"Mingliang, how are you feeling? Are you confident?"

Xu Mingliang patted the transparent visor on his helmet, the muffled whooshing sound making him feel as if the small visor separated him from the outside world into two separate worlds.

One is him all alone, the other is the beeping boom.

He pressed the call button on his left arm controller and joked with a smile, "Confidence? We haven't even seen the stuff yet, what's there to be confident about? By the way, Lao Huang, I moved my will a few days ago and forgot to tell you. Yeah, it's under my pillow on my bed in the dorm now. If anything happens, remember to take it out for me."

"Get lost! You can deliver it yourself, I don't care!"

Xu Mingliang ignored him and started humming a song inside his helmet.

After a long silence, someone on the other end suddenly said, "Why are there two emails? Ye Yingying? You little rascal, you have a girlfriend now?"

When Xu Mingliang arrived near the target, he squatted down, removed the thin protective finger cots and threw them aside, revealing his nimble fingers.

This thing won't protect you if something really happens, so it's better to just remove it and keep the original feel.

He replied cheerfully, "That's right, you didn't expect that, did you? It'll be soon, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll be able to invite you to my wedding by the end of the year."

"You're something else! When you come back this time, you have to bring that girl out so everyone can see her!"

Hearing his comrade talking about his girlfriend, Xu Mingliang grinned from ear to ear and then immediately turned off his communication device.

He bent down and carefully unzipped the backpack, taking out the black item as if it were his own lifeblood.

Xu Mingliang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and prepared to move the black object. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the small alarm clock inside was about to tick to zero.

A copper wire reflects light intensely when directly exposed to sunlight.

Xu Mingliang took another breath, took out a utility knife from his pocket, and bent down.

"Crack, click, click."

"call"

A moment later, he leaned back forcefully and fell straight down on the main road in a starfish shape. His heart opened up, the wind was clear and the moon was bright, and he felt that the world was beautiful.
