Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 621 The Past That Cannot Be Returned To
Chen Shu slowly walked back to the interrogation table, realizing that his attempt to provoke her had failed.

He lowered his hands and rested them on the table, staring into Yang Yang's eyes, and asked, "Why?"

Yang Yang squinted at the camera facing him, his eyebrows slowly relaxing as he said, "Well, ever since I quit my job, I've been running away. All I do is drink and sleep; all I do is drink. I'm slovenly and have a terrible temper. After a while, even my own parents started to dislike me."

Chen Shu pulled a crumpled cigarette case from his chest pocket. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yang Yang had stopped talking and was staring at his hand holding the cigarette, looking like he wanted to smoke.

Chen Shu knocked a cigarette out of the pack and tossed it to the other person.

Yang Yang took the cigarette and said calmly, "Thanks."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Shu raised his hand and tossed the lighter over.

Yang Yang took the lighter, examining it several times to make sure it worked. His eyes brightened, filled with surprise: "Senior brother, aren't you afraid?"

Chen Shu snorted and mocked, "What are you afraid of? Afraid you'll try to kill yourself? Heh, you'd better leave your lover to take the blame."

pat.

The flickering flame ignited the cigarette butt, and puffs of white smoke were inhaled into Yang Yang's mouth, lingered in his lungs for a moment, and were repeatedly exhaled from his nose.

This cycle is how men relieve their distress.

This time he wasn't angry, knowing that his sharp-tongued senior brother was deliberately provoking him.

After finishing his cigarette, Yang Yang tossed the lighter towards Chen Shu's seat without even looking at it. He knew that the surveillance cameras had been shut down by Chen Shu's men, and if they were to film him with a lighter on his desk once they were back on, Chen Shu would definitely be in deep trouble.

"You were right before, I was running away, running away from reality, running away from my parents, running away from my friends, running away from my classmates," Yang Yang paused, his expression as calm as still water, "running away from this damn second half of my life. Because they, they've been nagging me all along, police, work, police, work!"

"It feels like the world is ending when I lose my job!"

Yang Yang's voice was a little hoarse, and towards the end he lowered his voice and growled.

"."

"After running away for so long, not only the people around me, but even I started to feel disgusted with myself. Sometimes, when I woke up drunk in the middle of the night and stood on the balcony in the wind, I would think about jumping off and ending it all. But I didn't dare to jump. Well, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of being laughed at after I die."

"Then I just drifted along aimlessly, not really living like this, until Xiaoling came looking for me. She knew I didn't want to stay at home anymore, so she took me to her rented apartment. When I was hungry, she ordered takeout and ate with me; when I was thirsty, she took me to the KTV where she worked, booked a small private room, and drank with me while standing on a beer crate."

As he spoke, Yang Yang's eyes softened even more: "She has never looked down on me, never looked down on me, a man who is no longer a policeman. She loves to stay by my side. No matter what I'm doing, she likes to be near me and spend all her money on me."

"For a while, I was out of my mind and actually tried to test her. I deliberately kept asking to buy the latest, most high-end iPhone, and she bought it for me. Later, I asked to buy an electric scooter. Senior, an electric scooter, an electric scooter that costs over 100,000 yuan, and she only hesitated for a few days before she brought it up for me."

Yang Yang laughed, this time genuinely and happily: "I still remember that noon, I was still lying in bed sleeping with a hangover. I had just woken up when I saw her with a big smile on her face telling me that she had picked up the car. It was true, she was smiling so happily at the time, I thought it was because she bought me a car."

"Tch, one person earns money to support two people, how much can they possibly save? The phone is on a 24-month installment plan, and the car is zero down payment. Fool, aren't you afraid of not being able to pay it back and getting robbed later?" Yang Yang turned her face away, seemingly unwilling to let Chen Shu see her, and muttered softly.

Chen Shu got up and walked over to Yang Yang, handed him another cigarette, and lit it himself: "You really are a scumbag. Hmm, Xiao Ling is indeed a nice girl, very different from the women I've always imagined in the entertainment industry."

Yang Yang regained his composure and laughed, "Same here, all the same. She used to gamble after get off work, and whenever she had money, she'd squander it on luxury goods. She also used to go to male modeling salons with guys and flirt with them. Little did she know she was wasting all the money she worked so hard to earn. Little did she know that with her profession, the older she gets, the less money she can make. She should start saving money for herself as early as possible."

His voice grew softer and softer, as if he were giving his last instructions to his lover.

Chen Shu followed up by asking, "Don't you have a single good point?"

Without hesitation, Yang Yang replied, "Yes, she really did transfer money to her younger brother and father back in her hometown for medical treatment. Although it wasn't much, and although she stopped sending money after that, it's true. Isn't it strange? This is supposedly the most lazy and habitually lying social group."

Chen Shu lit a cigarette for himself: "Really?"

Yang Yang nodded seriously: "Really."

Chen Shu had lost all hope and said indifferently, "And then?"

Yang Yang grinned and smiled sincerely: "Later I figured it out, and I just wanted to earn more money to marry Xiaoling. So I put aside my so-called pride and went to work for A_PARTY as their public relations manager, and then managed the girls in Group C to do marketing." It's like he's come full circle.

Chen Shuchang exhaled a long puff of smoke, unwilling to ask any more questions.

After leaving Yang Yang's interrogation room, Chen Shu felt very upset.

But they're all adults; everyone has their naive moments. Fairy tales of people going through fire and water for love do exist in reality. Who knows whether he'll help Yang Yang or Yang Yang will help him? And if things go wrong in the case later, it will ultimately be Yang Yang's own choice.

The clock had struck five, and the SWAT compound, which had been noisy all night, gradually quieted down.

The first round of interrogations has concluded. Those who should be released have been released, and those who should be detained have been detained. The next phase of the investigation will only be determined after all the transcripts are completed.

Xu Mingliang was left in the office, and Chen Shu was worried about missing information if there were any unexpected situations in the case, so he went back to his dormitory to rest.

After much deliberation, he decided to go to the conference room and take a nap for an hour or two, making the most of this only break to catch his breath. This was also the only time Chen Shusuo could rest when handling such a large case involving many people.

Lying on a makeshift "bed" made of three chairs pushed together, Chen Shu, who had expected to have trouble falling asleep, actually drifted off to sleep in no time.

In his dream, he went to southern Xinjiang, carrying a gun and running through the desolate Tianshan Mountains.

A panting sound came from behind. Turning around, I saw a face of a Wei clansman, with a head of fluffy curly hair and large, deep eyes as dark as a pool of water.

Jaumek!
"Chase! The person is right ahead!" Yu Maiken shouted, panting heavily, pointing ahead.

Chen Shu immediately realized that they were chasing a fleeing K extremist leader. He gripped his rifle tightly and strode forward as fast as he could.

The scene shifts to the leader of the K-molecule lying on the ground, covered in blood, staring wide-eyed at the sky, motionless, his body convulsing before ceasing all bodily functions.

Chen Shu looked down and stared at the person for a long time, but couldn't recognize him.

The sight of bloodstains and dead bodies puzzled Chen Shu. Why was his heart still trembling, as if it were a warning?

This feeling is strange, as if a sixth sense is constantly reminding me that danger is about to strike.

What danger is it?

He looked around and saw familiar faces all around him, including Yu Maiken, Zhu Li, Wang Hao, Ma Dacheng, and others. They were talking to each other and packing their things, their figures appearing both real and indistinct.

Not them.

Not here either.

But my heart was still pounding.

Chen Shu frowned and looked around. As if he had a premonition, he followed the corpse's unclosed eyes and suspiciously raised his head.

whispering sound!
A drone was hovering quietly above their heads.

The camera on the drone tilted slightly forward, like a pair of captivating eyes, quietly watching them below the aircraft.

Perhaps because Chen Shu noticed it, the drone shook slightly, gradually rose higher, and then quickly left in the southwest direction.

Until it becomes a small black dot, and then the small black dot slowly...
boom!
A dizzying sensation swept over them quickly, then vanished abruptly.

Chen Shu rubbed his aching temples as he got up from the ground. The chairs that had been placed together for easy lying down were now scattered. He didn't have time to think about what happened in his dream.

Grabbing his phone from the table, Chen Shu saw several missed calls. He quickly got up and called back while saying "hello, hello, hello" as he walked towards the investigation area.
