Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 845 Someone coming from my hometown
"Welcome, welcome! You must be tired from your journey. This must be Officer Chen Shu, right?"

The man in the white shirt greeted them with a smile, his tone gentle but his gaze sharp. With just one glance, he recognized Chen Shu as the backbone of their group.

Chen Shu quickened his pace and extended his hand: "Hello, leader. I'm Chen Shu from Donghai. You can just call me Xiao Chen."

The man in the white shirt grasped Chen Shu's hand, applying slight pressure, with a hint of probing.

His smile remained gentle: "Officer Chen, I've truly heard of your great name, the fiercest man in Southern Xinjiang, haha."

At this moment, a middle-aged policeman approached and said to Chen Shu and his group, "Officer Chen, this is Director Lin, the executive deputy director of our city bureau. He heard that you were coming and specially came from the city to welcome you."

The fact that the executive deputy director of a prefecture-level city public security bureau stood at the entrance of his office to greet them was something Chen Shu had never encountered in all his years as a police officer.

Recalling his previous visit to the Yunnan Provincial Department, where the Executive Deputy Director personally introduced the local anti-fraud and anti-drug efforts in a conference room, Chen Shu knew that this long trip was not as simple as it seemed.

Generally speaking, the formation of a special task force requires the occurrence of one or a series of cases.

Secondly, a targeted investigation team should be established, led by a senior police officer familiar with the case.

Finally, the establishment of this task force had to go through layers of approval, which, in reality, was to determine the level of the unit handling the case.

For example, is it a branch office, a municipal office, or a provincial office?
Of the three points mentioned above, Chen Chuan and his group had none of them; more accurately, they were completely unclear about all of them.

He only learned one night in Yunnan Province from his good friend Chen Chuan that the branch bureau had established an anti-fraud task force and that he was the deputy leader.

All of this was achieved by Chen Chuan using his financial resources and connections, just to give Chen Shu and the others a legitimate reason to leave the country.

Then, the very next day, I received a call from the deputy director of the Zhengming branch of the Public Security Bureau in Dongzhou, who was in charge of criminal investigation. He said that a special task force had been formed and the case was an anti-fraud case.

Then they were told to head to Ruili, where someone would contact them.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Xiao Wang from the Provincial Department." At the entrance of the compound, a man in plainclothes squeezed out from a crowd of people in police uniforms.

She is very young, with almond-shaped eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, and delicate features. Combined with a square face, she is quite stunning in terms of appearance alone.

Sometimes you have to admit that appearance is a form of competitive advantage.

Abilities and experiences can be cultivated later in life, but appearance is determined from birth.

Those who say appearance is useless are mostly those who have never experienced being handsome or beautiful, which, to be honest, is quite hurtful.

Chen Shu nodded: "Hello, thank you for coming all this way."

When the other person introduced themselves, they used the words "Provincial Department" without any prefix, which naturally indicated that they came from the same province as Chen Shu, Donghai Province.

Moreover, when introducing his unit, he only mentioned the words "provincial department" without specifying any other department.

Clearly, the department this young man named "Xiao Wang" works for must be representative of the entire department.

Xiao Wang grasped Chen Shu's hands with both of them, his face beaming: "Brother Chen, it's no trouble at all. It's an honor to work with you this time!"

Knowing that there were no section-level titles in the provincial department, Chen Shu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how big or small it is, just call me by my name."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group entered the office building under Director Lin's guidance, walked through the corridor, and went up to the second floor via the stairwells on the east and west sides.

Once the door opens, you'll find yourself in a fully equipped conference room.

The interior was simply furnished, with mineral water bottles and notebooks placed on the long table next to each person's seat, and a long row of chairs arranged neatly.

"Please be seated, everyone. Let's begin." "Gentlemen, the main reason we've gathered in Yunnan Province is to jointly address the frequent occurrence of telecommunications fraud cases in recent years."

"In particular, the widespread adoption of mobile internet has enabled fraudsters to commit crimes in other countries using online platforms."

"Only by strengthening cross-regional cooperation, introducing advanced investigative methods and high-tech technologies, and integrating resources from all parties can we achieve effective results."

Director Lin gestured for everyone to sit down, then sat at the front, opened his prepared speech, and began his introduction word by word.

It was all the same old tune, and Chen Shu wasn't paying attention. He glanced out the window and could see the bustling streets of Ruili City, a scene of tranquility.

One moment his mind was filled with Zhang Yang's stubbornness when arguing with him about "justice," the next he was flashing Zhu Yiba's hateful gaze as he insisted on going to northern Myanmar, and then Chen Chuan was standing on the side, arms crossed, chuckling and watching coldly.

"Chen Da".

A soft gasp came from the side. Chen Shu turned his head and saw that the newly arrived Xiao Wang from the provincial department was looking at him with a smile.

Sitting at the front, Director Lin, who was speaking enthusiastically, nodded and shrugged, showing the helplessness that young people often feel towards this kind of meeting.

"Chen Da," Xiao Wang said softly, "I'll talk to you alone later."

Chen Shuli was jolted awake from his reverie. Looking closely at Xiao Wang, who had come from the provincial department, he realized from his eyes that the other man possessed a maturity beyond his years.

After the meeting, Director Lin led the group on a tour of the bureau's anti-fraud command center.

This newly established business unit has high-tech methods that are different from other traditional business units, such as a wall full of monitors that display various data and indicators in real time.

"Comrades, this is our data analysis center. Using big data and artificial intelligence technologies, we accurately screen and sort the reports from the public, then categorize and transfer them to the relevant personnel."

Director Zheng of the Anti-Fraud Command Center casually pointed to a room next door, separated by transparent glass, where a dozen auxiliary police officers were sitting in neat rows.

Each person had a computer and a telephone in front of them, and even though there was a wall between them, they could hear all the different sounds coming from inside.

"Sir, I'm not a fraud! I'm a police officer!"

"Sis, don't transfer the money! That's a fake policeman, I'm the real one!"

"Brother, I know you want to learn English, but please be sure to download the anti-fraud app!"

"Hello, where are you now? Um, we need to come to your home."

If you don't listen carefully to the contents inside and the huge police badges hanging on the wall, these anti-fraud police officers really look more like salespeople making sales over the phone in a high-rise building in the CBD.

Compared to the anti-fraud centers of several county bureaus under Dongzhou City, the facilities here are indeed much more advanced and rigorous, and the staff is also much more capable.

However, Chen Shu didn't take any of this to heart, and was even somewhat absent-minded.

After having a working meal at the bureau, the group checked into a hotel opposite the Public Security Bureau.

At night, the room lights are warm and yellow.

Chen Shu stood by the window, silently gazing at the street outside. The neon lights flickered in the night, reflecting on his face, making it appear half red and half black.

dong dong dong.

The half-open door was pushed open, and leather shoes made a dull sound on the carpet.

"Chen Da".
