Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 464 Xiaoqiang
He hadn't felt anything while standing outside the crowd, but as Chen Shu pushed aside a few of Shao Min's people who were crowding at the front and walked into the circle, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable.

This feeling was completely different from handling street disputes in Dongzhou in the past. When he was in Dongzhou, he had also taken the initiative to handle several similar disputes while wearing casual clothes on his way to and from get off work.

At that time, the surrounding area was also surrounded by layers of onlookers, but those people were really just watching the spectacle.

But now, the feeling among the onlookers, including Shao Min, was more than just that of mere spectators. He had barely squeezed forward from the back when the gazes of the other Shao Mins turned toward him were filled with strange emotions, and they even reluctantly stepped back.

Chen Shu thought for a moment, then shrank back outside, walked to a corner where no one was paying attention, and took out his phone to call the police.

Over the phone, Chen briefly described the scene, then looked around, about to give a detailed account of the location, when the dispatcher told him that he didn't need to describe it and that he only needed to give the number on the number plate hanging on the nearby street lamp.

Along one side of the road, a row of streetlights each had a number plate prominently displayed.

As Chen Shu passed by, he noticed these signs. He originally thought they were just a registration or marking of fixed assets by the local government's infrastructure department, but he never expected that they were actually alarm signs of the public security system.

When reporting a crime, the person reporting the crime does not need to describe the geographical location; they only need to provide the operator with the number on a nearby lamppost.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shu pondered that in a coastal city like Dongzhou, it would take about ten minutes for police to arrive at the scene. In this remote inland area, half an hour should be about right, but since it was a tourist attraction in the city, it wouldn't be too slow.

The noise coming from the direction of the argument was getting quieter, but the number of people gathered around didn't decrease at all. This wasn't a good sign; the girl was most likely frightened.

In this unfamiliar place, Chen Shu had originally gone out to tell Zhu Li to go back to the hotel early, but when something really happened, as a policeman, he still had to step forward.

It's not a matter of principle, it's just a habit.

Chen Shu put his phone away and returned to the crowd. He squeezed his way to the front and saw that the purple-clad internet celebrity had completely lost her previous arrogance. She was being forced forward by the three Shao Mins and looked extremely flustered.

"What...what do you want to do! I have a lot of fans!" The purple-clad internet celebrity frantically pulled out her phone and pointed it at the crowd, her fierce exterior masking her inner fear; anyone with eyes could see she was terrified.

"Apologize! You have to apologize! If it weren't for the fact that you're a woman, hehe!" These words came from Shao Min, a bystander with a distorted expression.

"These people from the mouth region deserve a beating!" A voice echoed from the side, its tone quite unfriendly.

Seeing the crowd unite and gradually approach the purple-clad internet celebrity, Chen Shu, though unsure of himself, stepped forward and blocked the terrified woman behind him.

"Everyone, calm down. She's just a young girl and not very good at talking, please forgive her!" Chen Shu said with a smile, but there was a feeling of being gripped tightly from behind as the internet celebrity behind him was holding onto his clothes.

"Annangs to Galap!"

"Eight black yamu chai! Spoon!"

"Choshiga, Anangsigejilap!"

The "." were all in the local dialect, which Chen Shu couldn't understand, but he could clearly see the angry expressions on the faces of the group of people surrounding Shao Min.

The surrounding noise grew louder and louder, and Chen Shu knew something was wrong, but his explanation was drowned out by the cacophony of the local dialect.

Seeing the crowd growing ever tighter, Chen Shu, in a moment of quick thinking, pointed to the corner outside and suddenly shouted, "The police are here! Let the police settle this!"

Chen Shu's original intention was to delay a few more minutes, as the Dongzhou City Police Station's response time was not expected to arrive so quickly. However, the current situation allowed no room for hesitation; every minute of delay was crucial.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent. It felt like we were watching a movie on our computer when the power suddenly went out, and the room went completely silent.

Yu Guangzhong and Chen Shu noticed that the few Shao Mins who had been arguing fiercely outside were quietly leaving.

We haven't even seen a police officer yet, how come someone has already run away?
Is the police really that powerful in this area?

In Dongzhou, calling the police would only excite the onlookers and cause the crowd to grow larger.

Recalling his old classmate, traffic policeman Zhang Wei, who was slapped in public by a tough female citizen for riding an electric scooter illegally, Chen Shu felt somewhat shocked by the contrast.

Chen Shu coughed a few times, trying to say a few words to buy some more time, but through the gaps in the crowd, four fully armed policemen actually emerged from the corner he had blindly pointed to.

One person is carrying a shield, two have Type 92 rifles hanging on their chests, and the one at the very back seems to be carrying a Type 95 rifle on his back?

Chen Shu subconsciously took out his phone to check the call log, and the police response time was less than two minutes!

If it weren't for the fact that everyone standing next to him was Shao Min with deep-set eyes and high noses, Chen Shu would almost have thought he was in the capital. Otherwise, such an extreme police response speed would be impossible even in the provincial capital of Donghai.

Unless it's a coincidence, such as a police officer just happening to be on duty nearby.

As the four policemen approached the crowd, many people quietly dispersed from the inner and outer circles. By the time the policemen reached Chen Shu, everyone except the three Shao Mins who had initially caused the disturbance had vanished.

The policeman at the front wore a 1-bar-3 vest and a Type 99 combat training uniform, which was exclusive to special police. A walkie-talkie was stuck on the left side of his tactical vest, and a shiny Type 92 pistol was stuck on the right side.

A quick glance revealed that all four policemen had bulletproof steel plates embedded in their vests.

Chen Shu crossed his arms and curiously observed his colleagues.

"Brother Shushu?" A policeman carrying a Type 95 rifle on his back asked excitedly, his eyes shining.

Chen Shu looked closely and saw a round, big face dangling under the bulletproof helmet. It was Xiao Qiang!

How did you end up here?
(Author's note: Xiao Qiang, a community assistant at Zhongshan Police Station, is a retired reconnaissance soldier. Whenever he has free time, he likes to volunteer to work overtime with Chen Shu's security team to handle cases. In order to go to the Silver Triangle with Chen Shu, he and Zhu Chaoran resigned from the police station.)
