Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 459 Everyone's here, let's go!
In early October, autumn arrived, with fallen leaves fluttering in the wind, swirling and turning in the air. The wind wasn't strong, but the weather turned cooler earlier than usual.

Chen Shu, who had spent four or five days in the provincial capital, met up with a group of classmates who had stayed there to work in the province back then. The next day, he got up early and went to visit some of the tourist attractions he had visited with his parents when he was a child. Then he huddled in the police academy library and began to look up information about Xinjiang.

Chen Shu knew perfectly well why Zhou Qinghu had approached him and asked him to accompany Lin Dakai to Xinjiang.

Ten years ago, when I was studying at the police academy, a lecturer played a video in the classroom that was classified as "confidential." The video was filmed by a surveillance camera inside the police station.

The video lasts nearly forty minutes.

Chen Shu, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the library, closed his newly bought notebook, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

Of course, whether Nx Xinjiang's safety is due to his long-term isolation from relevant information or whether it is truly safe, as a special police captain in a county-level area, he certainly has neither the level nor the reason to know the truth.

Snapped.

An A4-sized printed document was thrown on the table in front of Chen Shu, with the security classification and confidentiality period clearly marked in the upper left corner of the cover.

"Confidential?" Chen Shu was taken aback, glanced at Zhou Qinghu who had thrown the book, and asked, "From Xinjiang? It's leaving tomorrow, and you're only giving it to me now?"

Zhou Qinghu pulled out a chair and plopped down, pointing at the documents on the table with his finger. He said, "This stuff needs the approval of the institute leadership before it can be taken out. You think I can just make copies whenever I want? My eyelids have been twitching these past few days, and I haven't been sleeping well. You guys need to be extra careful this time you go out."

Chen Shu took the documents and quickly flipped through them: "Chairman, I saw Teacher Lin standing on the podium in the auditorium yesterday, talking so much that spittle flew everywhere. After the meeting, he even chatted with a group of students about their daily studies and life. He didn't seem nervous at all. You and I are just supporting characters, so why are we in such a hurry? The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are."

Zhou Qinghu: "Stop giving me this useless stuff. Read carefully, and remember to destroy it with a shredder after you're done. There are some in the library; if you can't find them, just ask someone."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "I originally wanted to get you a gun, but the institute won't approve it. Could you go back to your own unit in Dongzhou and get one?"

Chen Shu looked up and smiled, "Chairman, you're too nervous. We're just going to do some research. It's difficult to get the paperwork approved for taking a handgun on a plane. There's nothing dangerous about it, don't worry. The local police will definitely cooperate with us. Someone will be there to escort us, so we won't be going to any dangerous places."

“Sigh, you don’t know the teacher’s temper. As long as it’s related to research, he doesn’t care about the danger. You can’t stop him, no one can stop him,” Zhou Qinghu said with a shake of his head and a sigh.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Perhaps it's because he went abroad for peacekeeping missions in his early years. In his eyes, there is no place in China that he cannot go."

Chen Shu nodded and casually asked, "How many of us are going this time? It shouldn't be many, right?"

"Including you, there are three people, three men. Oh, and then we added a woman, so there should be four." When he said the word "woman," Zhou Qinghu looked at Chen Shu with an ambiguous gaze.

"What are you looking at? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Shu was a little surprised. He then closed the document in his hand, turned it upside down, and placed the cover with the word "confidential" printed on it face down to the side.

"It's alright!" Zhou Qinghu smiled slightly, got up and walked out. "Your flight is at seven o'clock tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight, and the hospital will send a car to take you to the airport early in the morning."

The next day at dawn, it was still dark.

Thanks to Zhou Qinghu's help, Chen Shu finally fulfilled his dream of living in the police academy's expert building. He got up early and cleaned the room. Before closing the door, he took out his phone and took a selfie, which he then posted on his WeChat Moments, only making it visible to Chen Chuan and his parents.

Appendix with image: Expert Building!

Those who understand will understand; Chen Shu still managed to pull off this convincing act.

When I get back, I can at least convince Chen Chuan that I'm now an expert specially invited by the police academy to give lectures.

If I show the picture to my parents, it's just so they can feel at ease and happy.

Carrying a travel bag that was still half full of local specialties from Dongzhou after giving them away, Chen Shu slung his backpack over his shoulder, tiptoed, and strode out. Reaching the police academy gate, he saw the sentries standing ramrod straight and, out of curiosity, walked to the guard post and asked the student on duty inside.

"Young man, are you going to stand for 24 hours now? Oh, I'm from the class of 2008."

As someone approached, the student sitting in the guard post quickly stood up. When he got closer and saw that it was his senior, the student became much more at ease: "Senior, we received a notice today that the director of the student affairs office was going out early this morning, so our instructor arranged for us to stand guard. Normally at this time, we just need to sit in the guard post and don't need to stand outside."

The brigade instructor is actually an administrative management teacher at the police academy.

Chen Shu couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that this formality was a bit over the top.

While waiting for someone, Chen Shu also chatted with his junior brother.

"Brother Shu!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from behind. Chen Shu turned around in surprise and saw Jiang Hai, who was smiling and carrying a huge black backpack.

"Where are you going?" Chen Shu asked, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Jiang Hai chuckled, wiped his nose, and said happily, "Brother Shu, I'm going to the same place as you!"

Shocked, Chen Shu pulled Jiang Hai aside and questioned him in detail, only to find out that when the group had dinner together in Garbage Street, a half-drunk Jiang Hai had overheard a conversation between Chen Shu and Zhou Qinghu.

Then, taking advantage of the Q&A session after Lin Dakai's lecture in the auditorium, he volunteered to join in.

Chen Shu was a little curious as to why Teacher Lin would agree to let this young guy, who had just graduated from high school and came to the police academy, go to Xinjiang with him.

But this was ultimately a matter for their police academy, and after much deliberation, Chen Shu still felt he had no reason to refuse Jiang Hai's request to accompany him. However, he still harbored the idea of ​​having a private chat with Lin Dakai to ask why it was Jiang Hai.

What a coincidence!

If possible, try to avoid letting Jiang Hai go with us. We'll see how things go when we get back to him!
Seeing Chen Shu's serious expression, Jiang Hai, being precocious, knew that his brother-in-law was definitely unhappy about them following along.

She stuck out her tongue quietly and then went to the guard post to chat with the classmate sitting inside.

A moment later, a black Toyota Prado screeched to a halt in front of the police station. The passenger door was pushed open, and a tall woman stepped out.

The driver followed her out and jogged to the trunk to retrieve a rather large suitcase, which he then helped the woman pull over.

If Chen Shu was merely surprised by Jiang Hai's earlier attention, then Zhu Li's appearance at this moment was like a shooting star crashing into Chen Shu's heart, causing a huge uproar.

"Why are you here? Are you also going to Xinjiang?" Chen Shu stared at the suitcase that the driver was slowly pulling over, and suddenly stammered.

Guess what? Julie looked at Chen Shu with a smile, not saying a word, and seemed very confident.

Thump thump thump.

Footsteps came from inside the courtyard, and Lin Dakai, the leader of this survey, finally appeared.

Lin Dakai surveyed the scene and nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone's here, let's go!"
