Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 402 Where did you get this meat from?!

Late at night, outside a steakhouse.

Several police cars with flashing red and blue lights were parked on the side of the road, and many police officers in different uniforms were setting up cordon tape. They were in a hurry and had obviously just arrived.

"Chen Shu! Why didn't you call me when you arrested people! Don't you know how dangerous it is to act without authorization like this!"

The steakhouse was packed with people, and all the seats were taken. A young man wearing frameless glasses was angrily slamming his fist on the table and shouting curses. The onlookers all fell silent and looked at the man called Chen Shu.

Chen Shu simply sat silently in his chair, sipping his tea.

"Li Meng, when you went up to the fifth floor to arrest people, you didn't seem to call us, did you? Besides, we're special police officers, what right do you, a criminal investigator, have to tell us what to do?" Chen Chuan replied with a smile, arms crossed and leaning against the door wall, not at all intimidated by the furious deputy captain.

Knowing that the jealous Li Meng would definitely come to confront him later, Chen Chuan, who had nothing better to do, had prepared many confrontational sentences in advance, just waiting for the other party to bring it on.

To be fair, Chen Chuan is a reasonable person.

Li Meng was furious and blurted out, "This is a murderer, he should be under the jurisdiction of our Criminal Investigation Division. How can you special police be so careless? If something happens, can you take responsibility? It hasn't been that long since Old A was killed, have you already forgotten? Huh?"

Murderer Lao A was killed?

Chen Shu's heart sank, his right hand holding the teacup trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but sigh a few times.

Chen Chuan had originally intended to tease Li Meng and then move on. However, when she brought up the topic of "murderer Old A," it involuntarily reminded him of the unpleasant experience of being shot by Old A during their arrest last month.

"Hmph!" Chen Chuan, his face darkening, lifted the hem of his short-sleeved shirt and said sarcastically, "Last month, when they arrested that murderer Old A, I wonder who was playing around again? In the end, it seems like he didn't take any responsibility, did he?"

During the arrest of murderer Lao A, Li Meng, feeling resentful, tried to steal the credit, allowing Lao A to escape the police encirclement. In the subsequent pursuit, Lao A used a pistol to wound Chen Chuan.

Ultimately, Chen Chuan, who was in charge at the scene at the time, took responsibility for his injury, and the punishment was that he was removed from his position as deputy captain of the special police force.

"Brother, you can't say that. The person in charge at the scene was one of your special police officers."

"Yes, yes, this kind of arrest is always handled by our Criminal Investigation Division. We understand that you don't have experience."

"Heh, who can you blame but yourself for wanting to show off?"

At this point, several criminal police officers tried to shift the blame for their deputy captain, and the scene became somewhat noisy.

"Shut up, all of you!" Li Meng shouted, stopping the chaos at the scene.

In front of everyone, Li Meng, the deputy captain, was humiliated and trembled with anger, unable to speak for a long time.

For Li Meng, who has always been proud and arrogant, this was a complete loss of face.

The huge lobby, though crowded with police officers, suddenly turned cold.

Chen Shu got up and walked around the lobby, gesturing for the members of the SWAT team and the criminal investigation team to leave first. Once only the three of them remained in the lobby, he returned and offered some words of advice to the two men.

After everyone calmed down, Chen Shu offered his opinion: "Li Meng, the follow-up to this case should still be handled by your Criminal Investigation Division. You can put the names of the police officers in your team on it, but we will have to be awarded one of the third-class merits."

"Chen Shu! This case is clearly worthy of a second-class merit award!" Chen Chuan, who had calmed down a bit, hurriedly reminded him.

"Are you crazy for a second-class merit award?" Li Meng glanced sideways at the corner of the wall and whispered.

Chen Chuan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, pointing his finger at Li Meng: "Glasses! If you've got the guts, let's fight one-on-one! Who are you trying to fool with this sarcastic attitude? Don't give me that crap! I'm not buying it!"

"Whoever you think you're doing this for, that's who they're after, right? And who can control Young Master Chen?"

Why do these two always have to argue every time they bump into each other? It's been so many years, they just can't stop. Aren't they tired? Chen Shu sighed, got up, and pulled Chen Chuan to a seat. "Today, just for my sake, as the old district captain..."

Earlier, Chen Shu had criticized Chen Chuan while trying to mediate the fight, but now he turned around and criticized Li Meng instead, and the two finally calmed down.

The follow-up arrangements for the case were then made. The suspect, Gao Shou, was taken back to the Criminal Investigation Division by Li Meng for further processing. A third-class merit award would be reserved for the special police at a later date.

After the matter was settled, Chen Shu sent Ma Bowen's police officer information, which was to be reported as a meritorious officer, to Li Meng, and casually asked, "Did you find any evidence upstairs?"

Li Meng was taken aback and said awkwardly, "I forgot to bring the locksmith. I went upstairs and shouted 'Check the water meter' a few times, but there was no response inside, so I thought I'd go back to the food stall to talk to you again."

"Discuss my ass! Aren't you criminal police supposed to be all high and mighty? Just kick down the door!" Chen Chuan retorted sarcastically.

"Alright, Chen Chuan!" Chen Shu took a cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to Li Meng: "This is Gao Shou's cell phone. It contains records of his communications with the victim."

"Okay, thanks. Oh, it's Apple? Why is he so cooperative?"

"Just scan his face with your phone."

"Oh, right. The DNA test results for the human bone you found in the sewer earlier are in, and it's the missing Sister Hua."

Chen Chuan frowned and said, "This young lady is quite pitiful. Not only was she murdered, but her body was also dismembered and flushed down the sewer. It's too tragic. I remember a similar case happened in the provincial capital a few years ago, and the victim was also a young lady."

Women engaged in this special service industry are indeed the most popular targets for criminals. This is because they have intricate networks of relationships, relatively flexible hours, and sometimes, in order to evade police checks, they are accustomed to concealing their identities and other information.

Furthermore, due to the nature of their profession, they are unwilling to disclose the nature and location of their work to their family, relatives, or classmates.

Especially in their workplaces, due to the involvement of organized crime and illegal activities, if a prostitute suddenly disappears, the management staff will only give her a cursory search and then leave her alone.

Therefore, it is common for young women engaged in the sex industry to be murdered, not an exception.

Take Gao Shou, for example. His motive for murder was extremely simple. Business at his steakhouse was bad, so he thought of making some money through dishonest means, and after much deliberation, he decided to target prostitutes.

Because he was single, his physical needs were met by women in this particular service industry. Through numerous transactions, he also became aware of their environment and how others treated him.

He also attributed his early divorce to a sexually transmitted disease he contracted after working with prostitutes, so he harbored some desire for revenge against them and felt that killing them for money was justified.

Chen Shu got up and walked out: "Let's go, let's search upstairs again."

After leaving the steakhouse, the three arranged for the police to keep watch and for the scene to be cordoned off. Then, they quickly took Gao Shou, who was being temporarily detained in the police car, and walked towards the entrance of the residential area of ​​the building.

Jiang Hai, who had been waiting at the entrance of the steakhouse, tugged at his sister Yan Chenxi, and the two tried to follow, but Chen Shu stopped them.

"The situation upstairs is probably not good, so you shouldn't come along. Go back as soon as possible," Chen Shu advised.

“Okay, Brother Shu, we’ll listen to you.” Yan Chenxi nodded in agreement.

Jiang Hai didn't speak, quietly retreating to the side, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

When my fever reached 40 degrees Celsius, my vision was blurry, it was quite terrible. Fortunately, I pulled through. Feeling ashamed, I'm posting an update as soon as possible.

It's been a long time since I've seen my friends. It feels so good to be back and write a book for you all.
