Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 921 Mission Objective
In the end, Wang Yan did not go to Lao Wu to collect the gun.

After all, these weapons, which have official serial numbers in Chinese armories, are not as easy to use as the mixed-use weapons from various countries on the Burmese side. Of course, most importantly, there are no worries about the future.

Bullets can be used freely, and no one will make you write a report even if you run out.

Handguns can be thrown away at will; if you have the ability to take them back to China, no one will have any objections.

Is this called being clever? This is called great wisdom! Wang Yan was in a good mood and led the newly acquainted deputy director of the intelligence bureau to the hotel where Chen Shu and the others were staying.

All the way here, this man named Lin Hua didn't say a word, he just silently followed along.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Wang Yan saw Chen Shu standing outside the revolving glass door smoking. She clearly saw his eyes slowly light up after he noticed the Burmese soldiers behind her.

"Officer Chen, you have lived up to expectations."

Wang Yan jogged over, cupped her hands in greeting, and smiled mischievously.

Chen Shuchang let out a breath, looked behind Wang Yan, and asked, "Officer Wang, thank you for your hard work. Who's that behind you? Is he the officer who accompanied us to northern Myanmar this time?"

Wang Yan nodded first, then shook her head halfway through: "Lin Hua, the deputy director of the Mandalay intelligence branch, is of Chinese descent. He's in charge of leading us to Dala Lin this time. Don't be fooled by the fact that we're only a hundred kilometers from northern Myanmar; the checkpoints along this route are more numerous than the toll booths on the highways from southern to northern China."

"The intelligence agency?" Chen Shu turned his head and looked at Wang Yan with suspicion. "Didn't you tell me you were going to ask the chief of the Mandalay police station for help? It's the intelligence agency that's here. Should we report this to our superiors?"

It's no wonder Chen Shu was cautious. In anyone's eyes, foreign intelligence agencies are equivalent to spy agencies, and as a law enforcement officer of China, one must stay away from such people.

Although it is said that a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear, people who work in this field are not easy to deal with in the public's impression. Not to mention foreign intelligence agencies, even China's own intelligence agencies are kept at a distance by everyone.

The public security organs also have similar institutions, such as the National Security Detachment. In the early years, it was a mysterious business unit that could handle a single case for a lifetime. Later, as the business was gradually transferred to the National Security Bureau, it gradually became a retirement department.

Apart from southern Xinjiang and Tibet, in those two places, the State Security Brigade is a top-level authority.

Wang Yan said with a mournful face, "Sigh, I never expected that the bureau chief was so polite when we met before, patting his chest and assuring me that he had connections here and I could eat whatever I wanted! But when I went there this time, as soon as I asked him to help me get to Dalalin, he acted like he had an epileptic seizure and couldn't say anything except shake his head."

Chen Shu was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that the social customs here were quite similar to those in China. When things were going well, people would boast to the heavens, but when it came time to ask for help, they would come up with all sorts of excuses and excuses.

That's normal; that's just how society is.

Helping is a favor, but not helping is also perfectly acceptable.

Chen Shu asked, "Have you reported this to Counselor Li?"

Wang Yan nodded: "This person was introduced by Counselor Li."

Since it was an order from his superiors, Chen Shu didn't think too much about it and just had to carry it out.

"Hello, Commander Chen." Lin Hua walked up to Chen Shu, extended his right hand, and said calmly, "My name is Lin Hua, and I belong to the Mandalay branch of the Intelligence Bureau. Please take care of me along the way."

He speaks standard Mandarin, without the accent of a border province of China or the unique syllables of a Burmese person learning Chinese, and he looks like a person from southern China.

"Of Chinese descent." Noticing the other person's scrutiny, Lin Hua took the initiative to introduce himself: "My great-grandfather's generation came here. My ancestral home is Fujian. I now live in Yangon Region, and my household registration is also in Yangon."

After a pause, Lin Hua said self-deprecatingly, "I joined the Burmese ethnic group to earn a living."

Myanmar has a tiered ID card system, with the highest tier being the pink card, which grants full civil rights, including the right to vote, purchase property, and obtain a passport. Burmese people are born into this tier.

Below that are five more classes, all based on ethnicity, with rights decreasing in that order. This is somewhat similar to the "four classes of people" policy during the Yuan Dynasty, namely, first class Mongols, second class Semu people, third class Han people, and fourth class Southern people.

The Chinese are generally distributed between the second and fourth classes. They have an absolute advantage in the economy, but within the core power sphere, they have practically nothing.

"Director Lin is too modest. To be able to join the Burmese community here, you must have some extraordinary abilities." Having lived in Myanmar for a long time, Wang Yan naturally understood the ins and outs of the situation, and her admiration was indeed as she put it.

"Director Lin, I'll have to rely on you for guidance from now on." Chen Shu extended his right hand and shook hands with the other person, his wrist strong but not overt, a man of action.

The three entered the hotel lobby, found a place to sit down, and began to discuss matters related to their trip to Dalalin.

Following Lin Hua's suggestion, they traveled to the Dalalin area in a vehicle provided by the Consulate General. Their first stop was the Judicial Committee of the area, where they obtained permission before proceeding to the telecom fraud zone.

Lin Hua took out a photo; it was a notice issued by the autonomous region, an official document with a red header, entirely in Chinese, somewhat mimicking the style of domestic official documents.

The heading is "Document of the Executive Committee of [Name of Affairs]", the second line is the document number, and the third line is the document title: "Notice on Combating and Rectifying Telecommunications Fraud Crimes".

Here's a brief summary of the four points.

I. Severely crack down on telecommunications fraud crimes.

Second, crimes, especially those targeting Chinese citizens, must be thoroughly investigated and eradicated.

Third, the judicial authorities shall cooperate with requests from neighboring governments to assist in the arrest and rescue of persons.

Fourth, all government agencies and public officials are strictly prohibited from harboring or participating in telecommunications fraud crimes.

“Commander Chen, this is a document just issued by the Autonomous Region. I think it's a response to the joint law enforcement operation we proposed. As it stands, they seem to be cooperating with us,” Lin Hua said slowly. He paused for a moment, and seeing no one questioning him, continued, “However, before we depart, I'd like to know what our mission objective is for this operation?”

Mission objective?

To be honest, Chen Shu himself didn't know what his goal was. He just felt that he needed to get to the Dalalin area as soon as possible to rescue Xiao Zhao, who was trapped in the park.

But as the deputy director said, what was their mission on this trip?
Was this a joint action announced at Vice Minister Ling's press conference?

Was the case involving four police officers brought by Xiao Wang from the Donghai Provincial Department?

Or is it the series of telecom fraud cases handled by Ma Rongcheng of the Yunnan Provincial Special Task Force?
Is it the same case where Chen Chuan asked for favors to get the pass?
Ironically, Chen Shu, who held the title of deputy head of the special task force in Donghai Province, didn't even know the cases under his jurisdiction, who the victims were, how much money was involved, or where the suspects were.

do not know anything.

At that moment, Chen Shu felt very selfish.
