Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 345 You're capable of this job!
Today's duty team is Yang Chang and others from the Second Company. Yang Chang is a former soldier who transferred to civilian work. He is said to be a company commander. Because he is tall and a bit fat, everyone calls him "Big Company Commander" in private.

It's said that fat people have the best personalities, and Yang Chang is pretty much the same.

"Chen Da, let me tell you, don't let my current weight fool you. Back in the army, my muscles were incredible, even women couldn't handle them!"

While Yang Chang was grabbing meat from Chen Chuan, he couldn't help but gloat a few times.

At thirty-eight years old, he felt perfectly at ease interacting with young people. He was currently mingling in the crowd, joking and playing around with a group of young special police officers in their twenties, even scrambling for food, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He must be a kind and approachable company commander; he probably led his soldiers like that back in the army. But like Xiao Qiang, he likes to boast. Chen Shu, who had never served in the military, thought to himself, "I wonder if he has any real skills."

In fact, a crucial factor in the atmosphere of a unit lies in the attitude of its leader. Before Chen Shu arrived, Li Da, as the battalion commander, usually didn't care about anything, big or small, and left everything to the squad leaders below him.

As a result, Zhengming Brigade's performance dropped to last place in the entire Dongzhou Special Police system. He only talked about working hard and striving, but in practice he still did things his own way, with an attitude of "I'm going to give up, what can you do about it?"

"There has to be a last place, right?"

Chen Shu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the calm and composed expression on Captain Li Da's face when he said those words.

"Book, what are you laughing at? Aren't you going to come over and have some midnight snack? Look at how the company commander is acting, it'll be gone in no time!"

"Okay, okay, everyone should get some rest after eating. We'll meet downstairs at 7 a.m. sharp tomorrow for our morning run."

Chen Shu squeezed in and said casually.

"Eh"

"Hey"

"Uncle, when we're having a late-night snack, let's not talk about unhappy things. Okay?" Chen Chuan replied with a bitter face.

Since the last brigade meeting where Brigade Commander Li Da handed over the business and training work to Chen Shu, this is the first training plan arranged by Chen Shu.

In other words, if the special police officers on duty at the unit do not respond to a call at night, they must all be assembled by the duty leader at 7:00 a.m. for a one-hour drill and physical training.

Li Da, who had served in the SWAT team for over ten years, usually enjoyed running and using the equipment in the unit's gym when he had free time. Therefore, he had no objection to Chen Shu's suggestion.

As for Xie Chi, the deputy instructor, he was old and didn't get much sleep. Moreover, he was in charge of discipline rectification. When he saw Chen Shu taking the lead in rectifying the discipline of the brigade, he wholeheartedly supported him.

In the public security system, drill training and discipline enforcement are synonymous. Some older police officers even believe that drill training is the best way to train discipline. Discipline is trained through absolute obedience to superiors and unanimous obedience to the collective.

Chen Shu didn't think that much about it; he was just copying what the police academy taught him.

Most of the police officers and auxiliary police officers below were full of complaints, but they were still convinced of the new deputy captain's abilities.

On his first day at work, he beat an armed hostage-taker half to death with just a wrench; in less than half a month, he single-handedly helped the entire brigade meet its anti-fraud targets, and none of the team members even once forwarded anti-fraud information on their own social media or WeChat groups; last week's rescue operation, in which he single-handedly confronted a high-ranking official from the north and ultimately saved a little girl, is still talked about with great enthusiasm in the community.

This is a method that no one has ever seen before.

It's said that this is how the "lying-down" squad leader of the first squadron was subdued. Before, when people accused him of slacking off, he was quite proud, considering it an honor; now, if anyone says it to his face, Xu Mingliang will jump up, point his finger at the person's nose, and yell, "I'll rip you off!"

In the duty room, everyone finished their late-night snack and then dispersed.

Armory.

As the most important and valuable place in the special police brigade, Chen Shu felt uneasy if he didn't come and check on it before going to bed at night. Chen Chuan, who had been sleeping in the guardhouse attic for quite a while, was now very eager to come and broaden his horizons.

The armory is located at the very back of the general office building on the second floor. From the outside, its door looks much like a regular home security door; some organizations even deliberately stick a "Panpan" brand logo on it. It mainly serves as a disguise.

In reality, these doors are all doors within doors, with stainless steel on the outside and super alloy on the inside. They can withstand not only ordinary electric drills and electric hammers, but even flame cutting.

Frankly speaking, it would be much more time-saving and energy-efficient to smash the wall with two sledgehammers than to break down the door.

The Zhengming Brigade's armory has two keys: one is kept by the officer on duty, and the other by the supervisor on duty. Both officers must be present at the same time to open the armory door.

Inserting the key, Yang Chang turned the slightly larger-than-his-palm-sized round handle counterclockwise, then pulled it outwards, revealing a ten-centimeter-thick alloy steel plate.

Chen Shu patted the door and said with a smile, "This door is quite sturdy."

Yang Chang looked disgusted: "What good is a good door? This wall will crumble with a single knock. Back in our company, besides having sentries stationed near the armory, the cement walls were always filled with dense steel mesh."

Even after retiring for so many years, he still talks about the army all the time; he must have a very deep attachment to it. Chen Shu nodded in agreement and stepped into the armory.

The armory wasn't large, only about ten square meters. Next to the door was a table with an entry/exit log on it. Inside were a life-sized safe and a wooden shelf.

The safe contained Type 92 pistols and all the ammunition in the warehouse, nothing special. There were a few rifles on the wooden shelf, though.

Chen Shu walked to the wooden shelf and found that, in addition to several of his old favorite Type 88 rifles, there was also a brand-new Type 26 sniper rifle at the very back.

He grabbed it and examined it with great interest, praising it repeatedly: "I heard that one costs over 200,000 yuan. Where does our brigade get the funds?"

Yang Chang glanced at it and laughed, "Last year, Li Da thought that the gap between our physical fitness and team events and other teams was too big, and we couldn't catch up even if we wanted to. So he thought of giving me, who had retired from the army, and Zhao Mingfeng a try in sniping, so that we might have a chance to get rid of the last place in the whole team."

"Did you pick them later?" Chen Chuan, the gossip prince, asked with great interest.

Yang Chang extended his index and middle fingers, smiling as he made a "yeah" gesture.

Chen Chuan slapped the other man on the shoulder: "Fatty, not bad, you got second place. No wonder you're a retired soldier."

No, second to last.

"What the hell? Is that all? You still have the nerve to keep emphasizing that you came from the military!" Chen Chuan said with a look of disgust.

Yang Chang smiled and said, "All the special police officers participating in the sniper competition are retired from our unit, except for the last one who came from your police academy."

"."

Chen Chuan immediately lost his temper, wilted like a spoiled eggplant, and stood there speechless.

The only sound in the armory was Chen Shu clicking away as he operated his weapons.

Chen Chuan suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Shu, you're really good at this! When we finished our training and were being reassigned to the branch bureaus, the sniper squad of the detachment went to the detachment commander and begged to keep you here!"

"Crack!"

Chen Shu pulled back the bolt, casually raised the rifle to his right shoulder, aimed, and with a slight smile, confidently said:
"I think so."
