Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 846 Want to escape
"Chen Da".

Chen Shu turned around, and Xiao Wang walked in with a serious expression. When he closed the door, he made sure to lock it from the inside.

He was wearing a sharp black suit, which made Chen Shu, who always wore casual clothes, look at him a little differently.

It's so late at night, and in a hotel room, why are you dressed so formally? Who are you trying to impress?

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Chen," Xiao Wang said respectfully in a low voice, bowing slightly.

Chen Shu nodded, gesturing for the other person to sit down and talk. He could sense that the atmosphere tonight was different from usual; this guy from the provincial department was hiding a secret.

"Master Chen." Xiao Wang seemed to value the title, but both parties knew that this low-ranking clerk was not even an official. "The department sent me here to coordinate with you on this special task force's mission."

Chen Shu nodded.

Chen Shu was initially somewhat relaxed after being suddenly appointed as the deputy head of the task force.

He believed that Chen Chuan had used his connections to arrange these things so that they could have a legitimate reason to leave the country.

Based on his previous considerations, he estimated that he would pick out a few cases with large sums of money, a wide audience, and some clues from the numerous reports filed in Dongzhou City.

As it turned out, the person in charge was from the provincial department, which meant that the project had obviously exceeded initial expectations.

Chen Shu squinted, vaguely sensing the seriousness of the situation, yet he was somewhat indifferent.

“Brother Chen.” Xiao Wang didn’t sit down as Chen Shu had suggested. Instead, he took two steps closer and said with a serious expression, “Our mission this time, on the surface, is to form a special task force to investigate the KK Industrial Park in Myanmar. In reality, it’s to find… well, to be precise, it might be a rescue.”

Xiao Wang talked on and on.

Chen Shu seemed somewhat dazed.

The interior lighting is soft, and through hidden spotlights and a smart system, the hotel can adjust the brightness of the lights in real time according to the guests' needs, making them either bright or dim.

The walls of the room are covered with dark wood wallpaper, which looks quite three-dimensional. The thickness of the material itself provides a little sound insulation.

The curtains are made of heavy velvet and are dark in color. Although they are pulled to one side, they can completely block the view from the outside if they are unfolded.

The thick carpet on the floor effectively absorbs footsteps, so even if a large number of people gather in this small hotel room, there won't be too much noise.

"Chen Da".

"Chen Da".

A few short calls brought Chen Shu back to his senses. He smiled apologetically but offered no explanation.

Xiao Wang spoke earnestly, his voice low and heavy: "Brother Chen, only you can handle this. We...we can only rely on you!"

Chen Shu had heard the same sentence countless times since graduating from the police academy and starting work.

At the police academy: This operation depends on you.

Special police officer: This competition depends on you.

Once inside the police station: This operation depends on you.

why?
Rely on me? Why does everyone rely on me?
Where are the others? Aren't they police officers?

Chen Shu's expression was calm, but his mind was full of questions. He didn't know why he suddenly felt so wronged, like a resentful woman abandoned by her husband.

Thinking of this, he felt himself mechanically curling the corners of his mouth in his mind.

"Chen Da, the four police officers that the BU sent to conduct a secret investigation at the beginning of the year have been missing for more than a month. Nobody knows where they are now."

They're all adults, and they're police officers, even from the police force, haha.

"Mr. Chen, we believe there might be informants or moles within the organization, which is why the operation failed. Therefore, we need to be extremely discreet and avoid making a big fuss about rescuing people."

Undercover agent? You've watched too many movies and TV series, or maybe you've read too many novels.

"Chief Chen, considering the safety of those four officers, the unit doesn't dare to make any big moves openly. So they instructed us to operate under the guise of a special task force, which would be less likely to attract attention."

How could I, a mere police officer in Dongzhou City, possibly receive instructions from the BU?

"."

"Chen Da, this operation is counting on you."

Having said that, Xiao Wang straightened his back slightly and stared intently at the man in front of him, who had been silently pondering ever since he entered the room. He knew this man's police career background very well.

This is a heroic policeman who is forever strong and will never fall, the kind of policeman they have longed to be since childhood.

Xiao Wang silently observed this man who seemed not to talk much, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Based on his earlier speculation on the road, when Chen Shu heard about the task assigned to him by the top-level department, he might get excited, clench his fists, and vow to make a big splash.

They might also laugh out loud, because for grassroots police officers like them, once they've connected with such a direct line to "heaven," as long as they make even a small contribution to a mission, it won't be as simple as a meteoric rise in rank.

They might also calmly and immediately get to work, leading the task force to develop meticulous and imaginative operational plans, and quickly and accurately complete the mission, and so on.

In any case, it won't be as quiet as it is now.

He was unusually quiet, unlike the demeanor one would expect from a renowned elite police officer upon receiving a combat mission.

Time passed second by second, and cold sweat began to slowly seep from Xiao Wang's forehead.

I remember a long time ago, when I was studying at the police academy, my criminal psychology professor taught us a simple and practical interrogation method: when there was no other way, just stare into the eyes of the suspect.

Without saying a word, just keep staring.

There's no need to deliberately show or fake your emotions; it's unnecessary.

The police officer's gaze can be brainwashed by the criminal suspect into becoming a weapon that is only directed at them, the most direct, powerful, and completely irresistible weapon, ultimately leading to utter self-defeat.

Over the years, Xiao Wang has clearly remembered every word and phrase his teacher uttered in class, simply because this technique is so incredibly effective.

Not only in the interrogation of criminal suspects, but in any aspect of life, as long as you observe long enough and keep your mouth shut tight enough, you can achieve results that exceed your original expectations.

But right now, this invincible skill seems to have hit the hardest wall in the world.

No, perhaps it's more like an abyss.

Gulu.

Xiao Wang couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Chen Chen Da." At this moment, Xiao Wang suddenly felt that the other person's eyes were extremely deep. He couldn't see them clearly and felt that if he stared at them for a while, he would be sucked into them.

Chen Shu squinted, ignoring the noise, his mind wandering.

One moment they were in a Japanese restaurant, where Zhang Yang was slamming his fist on the table and arguing with him about what justice was. Then he accused himself, as a police officer, of being selfish and indifferent towards the poor people.

A moment later, the scene shifted back to the hotel room. Zhu Yiba, who always had an upright posture, was now sitting loosely at the foot of the bed, his hands covering his face and resting on his knees, muttering, "What should I do?"

A moment later, the tall and strong Xiao Qiang, carrying a gun, walked over arrogantly, tilted his head back and laughed loudly, saying that he would be carrying a gun until his death, and that it was all worth it.

Then he turned his head and stared blankly at his elderly parents standing behind him, supporting each other as they looked over from afar. In an instant, he lost his spirit, threw the gun on the ground, and simply sat down and burst into tears.

Chen Chuan appeared behind him without him noticing, arms crossed, a cold smile on his face.

Chen Shu suddenly woke up.

It was still that dimly lit room, and the same bright-eyed young man.

"Chen Da, are you willing to accept the organization's mission?" the young man asked in a calm voice, suppressing his excitement.

In his worldview, every Chinese person would be greatly excited upon hearing this question, without exception.

Another awkward silence fell over the room.

"I am willing."

A series of unfamiliar sounds came from his mouth, clearly and forcefully enunciated.

But then his mind exploded.

Chen Shu felt extremely hypocritical.

He wanted to abandon it all.

Run away.
