Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 696 The Director's Decision
At this moment, a man of about forty years old entered. He was dressed in casual clothes, and his expression had the seriousness of someone in a superior position, but his tone was relaxed and teasing.

"Yuanyuan Bureau".

Section Chief Shen, who had worked in the disciplinary department of the municipal bureau for many years, had an unusual pride as a policeman in front of others, but when he actually met the director of the Dongzhou Public Security Bureau, who held the title of deputy XX, he couldn't help but get nervous.

"A powerful dragon doesn't fight a local snake." The team leader comforted himself with this thought, but still stood up to greet this big shot who held sway over Dongzhou.

"Sit down." Director Yuan sat down first without any ceremony, then gestured for the two of them to sit down as well.

Section Chief Shen naturally didn't dare to sit down, but the team leader plopped down in his seat, his face cold and silent.

Director Yuan chuckled and said, "I think some comrades may have misunderstandings about our unit. They are not familiar with the situation and treat our hardworking grassroots cadres with arrogance and prejudice. This must have chilled the hearts of many young people."

He paused, then beckoned to his secretary, who picked up a thick stack of notes and placed them on the coffee table along with a USB drive. He tapped the papers with his knuckles and continued:
"I think this is wrong. Everything should be based on evidence, not just empty talk. Of course, if we have any shortcomings, we should humbly accept criticism, but I am still very satisfied with the work style of our unit."

"We are bold and responsible, and the problems that some comrades have mentioned do not exist."

Responding neither too firmly nor too softly, Director Yuan said to one of the middle-aged men accompanying him, "Master Chen, you are an expert in forensic medicine. If the two disciplinary officials are dissatisfied with the witness's testimony and the on-site surveillance footage, you should cooperate with them to conduct an injury assessment on Li Meng to see if these two teeth were knocked out at the same time."

Senior forensic doctor Chen from the municipal bureau adjusted his glasses and nodded steadily.

"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer. Hehe, this place is a bit small, it's a bit stuffy. Haha." Director Yuan said goodbye with a smile, leading the group back upstairs.

After his subordinates dispersed, Director Yuan opened the office door alone and saw a man wearing glasses and a white shirt sitting on the sofa with his deputy, Director Wang, smoking and drinking tea.

"Director Ma, everything has been taken care of." After sitting down, Director Yuan immediately reported to the representative from the provincial capital.

Although Yuan Ju is the director of the Public Security Bureau in Dongzhou, which is a high-ranking position, he is one level higher than the old man in front of him.

Furthermore, the other party was already old and could no longer compete with him, who was just over forty, in terms of political prospects. However, his respect was more for the powerful figure behind this old director.

"Director Yuan, well done!" Director Ma nodded with a smile.

"It's all thanks to Director Wang's thoughtfulness. If he hadn't prepared for this in advance, it might have turned into a major case by those guys who are always grinding their teeth and waiting for their turn. I haven't been in Dongzhou for long. If this matter blows up and gets back to the higher-ups, the whole department will laugh at me."

Yuan Ju originally held a high-ranking position in the provincial capital, which was his "home base." In the end, he still had to go back there, so naturally he was quite concerned about his reputation in his "home base."

"No, no, it was only thanks to Director Yuan's intervention that the situation was stabilized. Otherwise, this document wouldn't have even had a chance to be submitted, and Chen Shu might have been taken to jail." Director Wang quickly stood up, pushing the credit onto his own boss.

Yuan Ju smiled and no longer declined.

Director Ma commented, "A strong general has no weak soldiers. I'm really impressed by young Wang's performance. He's meticulous and far-sighted in his work! Very good, very good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director," Director Wang said modestly.

"Alright, things are almost done here. I'll head back to the provincial capital now." Director Ma stood up and said as he walked out, "No need to see me off, really no need this time. You two just need to clean up the mess. This is a very important matter."

After Director Ma left, Director Yuan asked, "Hey, Lao Wang, you're a traffic cop, how did you come up with the idea of ​​picking up that tooth on the ground?"

With Director Ma, an outsider, present, Director Yuan couldn't ask questions. But now that Director Ma had just left, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. After all, even if he were in this situation, he wouldn't have expected such an unexpected turn of events.

Two police officers got into a fight over work-related matters, and who would have thought it would escalate to the point of determining the severity of their injuries?

After seeing Director Ma off to the elevator in the corridor, Director Wang closed the heavy double doors of his office, turned around, sat down opposite Director Yuan, picked up a small cup from the coffee table, and gulped it down in one go.

"Director Yuan, to be honest, I thought that although Li Meng's character wasn't great, his case-handling ability was really good, and we might need him in the future. I thought, since we've already used the big stick of 'post-incident investigation,' we should at least give him something to look forward to, so I helped him pick up his teeth."

Director Yuan immediately understood and laughed, "You've got a lucky break, haven't you? You've got a good one in one hand and a radish in the other." Director Wang smiled ingratiatingly, "Luckily, lucky indeed, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Director Yuan."

After laughing, Director Yuan frowned and thought for a long time before slowly saying, "If Director Ma hadn't come today, you would have been the one to handle this kind of thing. But I've already taken the lead in the disciplinary department, and Director Zhu from the provincial capital is also keeping an eye on this area, so this matter must have a clear outcome."

Director Wang asked疑惑地问道：“Director Yuan, do you mean…”

After a moment of contemplation, Director Yuan said, "No matter how capable this Li Meng is at handling cases, we have to deal with her."

"What is the degree?"

"Flush top".

"Yes."

A black Volkswagen was driving on the highway leading to the provincial capital.

Director Ma, who had just finished a phone call with Director Zhu, hadn't even had a chance to call back the number that kept ringing on his cell phone when it rang again.

"Hey, Xiaoli." Director Ma chuckled knowingly. "Why are you calling so urgently? Are you worried your sweetheart might be wronged?"

"Uncle Ma, please stop laughing at me. So, is Chen Shu going to be dealt with?"

"Deal with? Deal with what? We've cracked the first anti-X case in Donghai Province in decades. We're too busy giving commendations to deal with it."

"Didn't they say that a colleague was killed? Chen Shu should bear some leadership responsibility. Actually, I think dismissal is fine, just don't take his police uniform off!"

"Look at the way you're so worried about your man, saying it's okay to be dismissed? If it were really okay, you wouldn't be rushing him like this, making your elderly Uncle Ma travel all the way from Hangzhou to come here."

While joking with Zhu Li, Director Ma wondered whether he should tell her about Li Meng's deliberate act of breaking two teeth in an attempt to bring Chen Shu down.

However, this whole thing happened. If he hadn't felt sorry for Julie and couldn't resist the girl's pleas for help, and hadn't secretly come to visit her without telling Director Zhu, who knows what might have happened to Chen Shuzhen.

The water at the grassroots level is truly deep.

"Oh, Uncle Ma, what's our relationship? Why are you arguing about this? Look, I'm downstairs at the Municipal Bureau right now. After you finish talking with our director, I'll take you to the cafeteria for something delicious. Let me tell you, they're having our Dongzhou specialty, lion's head meatballs, today! They're especially delicious!"

Director Ma couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh my, my good girl, you actually made this old man travel hundreds of kilometers overnight just for a meal at your workplace? Never mind, I'll just eat at the office."

"Uncle Ma, you've already left? Whew."

Hearing the long sigh of relief coming from the other end, Director Ma was both amused and exasperated, but from that moment on, he decided not to tell Julie about such dark aspects of society.

Girls are happier when they are simple.

"Yes, I have to rush back to serve your old man!"

"Uncle Ma, no doubt about it. If my dad bullies you, I'll go back and stand up for you right away!"

"Oh, thank you so much, my dear girl. Just don't call like you're on a mission next time."

"Haha, Uncle Ma, what are you saying?"
