Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 632 Lucky General
"Wang Wang."

As the group pushed open the iron gate of the investigation area, they heard the police dog, Big Grey, excitedly rushing towards Chen Shu and calling out to him.

Because the A_PARTY case involved so many people, the case-handling ability of the police officers in this special police brigade was barely up to the passing grade, especially in criminal cases like this, where they probably didn't even reach the passing grade.

At that time, Chen Shu simply moved his office to the monitoring and observation room in the case-handling area. He came to work there every day so that he could keep an eye on the police officers' questioning and interrogation, and resolve any problems that might arise immediately.

To prevent the problem from escalating into an accident.

Big Grey, who lived next to the investigation area, was particularly happy because of this. Every day, he would sit by the iron gate of the investigation area and wait. When he saw Chen Shu come in, he would bark a few times, and then Chen Shu would throw him a snack. The two of them, man and dog, were very in sync.

At this moment, Chen Shu habitually took out a Shuanghui sausage from his pocket and tossed it over, then stroked the big gray dog's head and introduced it: "This is our brigade's mascot. We have to bring it with us every time we go on patrol. The citizens really like it."

Director Wang asked, "This police dog is so fat, how many miles can it walk?"

Chen Shu sighed, like an old father raising a good-for-nothing son: "Sigh, this guy can only walk one round after going out on the street, and then he has to squat on the side and rest until he gets off work. You can't even pull him away. But there are advantages, though. He can easily complete those difficult anti-fraud app download tasks that used to be so easy."

Director Wang nodded and asked with concern, "Is this all your team has? Isn't that too few? I'll have someone send a few more over later. We can send them all out on the road; they might be able to get a lot done!"

呲!
The leader's excessive concern made the group following behind extremely envious, wondering if Director Wang's apparent favors had a deeper purpose behind them.

Everyone looked meaningfully at the SWAT officer who was squatting on the ground stroking the dog's head.

dong dong dong.

A series of hurried footsteps approached, and Li Da, the burly captain of the special police brigade, rushed over with his deputy instructor, Xie Chi.

When they arrived at the scene, seeing everyone staring at them, Li Da didn't know what to say and could only scratch his head, standing there dumbly.

Director Wu stepped forward and introduced Li Da and Xie Chi to each of them. After all, the special police brigade belonged to their Zhengming branch, so he was practically a part of the organization.

Because of his fondness for the police officers, Director Wang now takes a liking to them, thinking that only these simple-minded people can truly implement the policies from above, without so many messy and chaotic ideas.

Later, upon learning that Li Da would be transferred to the branch office as a legal education instructor at the beginning of next month, Director Wang let slip a sentence. Whether he said it intentionally for Director Wu, who was present, or it was just an unintentional remark, it is unclear.

"With you gone, Chen Shu will have a hard time in the days to come."

This implies that they want Chen Shu to take charge of the work.

These words sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

Those who accompanied Director Wang on this inspection tour were all heads of various units within the Municipal Public Security Bureau. They held high positions and wielded considerable power within the Dongzhou Public Security System, making them seasoned veterans in the officialdom.

The fact that Director Wang brought this up in front of everyone was quite significant. On one hand, he was observing Director Wu's opinion at the branch office to see if the Zhengming branch would give him face; on the other hand, it was tantamount to stating to Chen Shu: "Look, I've helped you."

The former is normal; it's something everyone's used to seeing. But the latter—putting pressure on someone's leader in front of them—is quite unusual.

The heads of various municipal bureau units following behind exchanged bewildered glances, wondering who this special police officer Chen Shu was and how he could make the executive deputy director of the municipal bureau stoop so low as to help him get things done through back channels.

Actually, in a stricter sense, this doesn't really qualify as using connections; it's more like forcibly breaking in. For example, imagine a group of masked robbers breaking into your house and holding a knife to your throat. Their demand is simple: that one of your many sons will have a good life from now on.

At first, you were definitely indignant; why should others interfere in your family affairs? But the cold, menacing knife held to your throat kept chilling you to the bone, and then you realized that the one who benefited wasn't an outsider—it was your own son—so your attitude softened.

Seeing your interest, the robber sheathed his sword and ripped off his mask. You looked and realized, "Oh my god, this is your boss from work!" So, what else is there to say? You have to do it, both for personal and professional reasons, even if you can't.

He's being polite to you just to save face for you; you should know that.

So the shrewd Director Wu laughed and said that the bureau's leadership had already discussed it, and Chen Shu would be in charge of the special police brigade's work from now on.

Director Wang nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Shu disagreed. He just felt that with Li Da gone and Xie Chi nearing retirement age, the brigade should naturally be led by him.

What he didn't expect was that, in all these years, there had never been a situation where a deputy section chief was in charge of a business unit, so the underlying meaning of what Director Wang and Director Wu said was actually this.

Li Da and Xie Chi, who had been standing on the sidelines and had been relatively inconspicuous, were so surprised that their eyes practically popped out of their sockets.

Li Da has been a special police officer for over a decade, and it's true that he's a bit simple-minded; Xie Chi is about to retire and is too lazy to deal with official matters, which is also true.

When the two chatted privately, they also deduced that Zhang Xuming, the executive deputy director of the branch office, was definitely Chen Shu's powerful backer, which was indeed true.

But little did they know that a high-ranking official from the municipal bureau was standing behind them.

Holy crap! My goodness!
Li Da couldn't resist running to the office to take off his SWAT training uniform and give it to Chen Shu to wear, then leaning against the window and shouting a few times outside.

He believed that with Chen Shu's skills and background, the special police brigade would no longer be the bottom-ranked unit in the branch or a unit that was looked down upon.

For example, during the high-speed train incident, they stood up against high-ranking officials and professional rescue teams from the north, arguing their case under pressure from public opinion and superiors, and ultimately saved the girl who had been rescued. Another example is the hostage situation at the train station, where they decisively defeated the rioters and rescued the hostages, proving they were not just patrol officers, but also special police. And then there's the recent A_PARTY orange-sweeping case; a case of such depth that even the city's public security bureau might not be able to handle it, let alone their branch's brigade and police station.

He suddenly trembled slightly, perhaps from excitement.

After all, they are veteran special police officers with decades of experience.

I have feelings for the SWAT team!
Li Da was very pleased to be able to hand over the special police brigade to Chen Shu.
