The next morning, the sky was blue and a gentle breeze swept the earth.
Chen Shu, Wang Chongming and others went to the Jiuping City Detention Center to pick up Ma Zhongyun and rushed to the Jiuping Railway Station without stopping.
Generally speaking, the police do not take planes to escort criminal suspects. It is not impossible, but it is troublesome.
Firstly, the approval procedures are cumbersome and require the consent of the airport; secondly, Chen Shu is not allowed to carry firearms; thirdly, there are insufficient number of policemen. According to regulations, the number of policemen must be at least three times that of the suspect before he can register.
Ultimately it's a matter of habit.
Since Chen Shu, Wang Chongming and others joined the police, they followed their old comrades in early dispatches and later led the team themselves. They always escorted prisoners by train or car, so in their subconscious mind, they never considered flying for escorting prisoners.
"Yawn~"
Ma Zhongyun obviously didn't sleep well last night, and he kept yawning along the way.
"Ma Zhongyun, your parents sent you some local specialties yesterday. Take a look."
On the way to the train station, Chen Shu threw to him the large bag of things that Ma Zhongyun's parents had given him yesterday.
Ma Zhongyun glanced at the bag but did not open it. He knew that it was given to the police by his parents and hoped that they would take better care of him.
"Officer, you can take these home and eat them. I can't bring them inside."
Ma Zhongyun, who had entered the palace for the third time, knew very well that he could not bring these things into the detention center.
Chen Shu opened the bag and found some common local braised chicken, pastrami jerky, mushrooms, etc.
He pondered for a while and then said slowly: "According to the rules, we absolutely cannot accept these things. However, the current situation is special and we cannot send it back to your parents. It would be a waste to throw it away. Take a look at the things inside and send them back later.
When you enter the detention center, I will deposit five hundred yuan into your account."
Ma Zhongyun's expression suddenly paused: "No, absolutely not! Officer, if you find it inconvenient, just throw it away! These are not valuable things, so you don't have to pay for them!"
He knew in his heart that these things were common local specialties in Jilin Province and were not worth 500 yuan at all. The police officer in front of him made such thoughtful arrangements, which made him a little at a loss.
Chen Shu stared into Ma Zhongyun's eyes. Instead of following his words, he asked abruptly: "You have also been working for more than ten years. Why don't you even have a decent TV or refrigerator at home?"
Everyone hid in Ma Zhongyun's courtyard the night before. Chen Shu took the opportunity to get familiar with the scene and looked through the hall and kitchen of the house through the window on the first floor.
The family is surrounded by walls.
After a pause, he looked at Ma Zhongyun, who lowered his head, and continued: "After you go in this time, your family will have a lot more money to spend, and you still have to save some where you should. There is no need to pretend in front of us.
You have to be so tough.”
Out of professional habit, when escorting prisoners, Chen Shu would give a few words of comfort in a timely manner to prevent the other party from engaging in dangerous behavior during the journey due to mood swings.
While talking, Chen Shu's mind kept flashing back to the extremely humble and cautious old faces of Ma Zhongyun's parents in front of him yesterday.
He felt a little disgusted with this criminal suspect who would blow someone's head off at the slightest disagreement, but at this moment he still couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Ma Zhongyun no longer had the courage to look at each other.
He didn't know why the police officer in front of him looked much younger than him, but when facing him, he seemed to be the child who had done something wrong.
Seemingly remembering something, Ma Zhongyun, who spoke straightforwardly, was hesitant at the moment: "Little comrade, I was sorry the night before yesterday. My mother didn't understand anything and bumped into you. Please forgive me!"
With that said, he hurriedly stuffed the big bag in his hand into the arms of Xu Lei who was sitting beside him.
Xu Lei, who was reading a novel on his mobile phone, had a depressed look on his face. Before he could realize what was going on, there was a ball of colorful food in front of him.
When people were arresting people in Gajia Village in the early hours of the day before yesterday, Xu Lei sympathized with Ma Zhongyun's parents, so when everyone left quickly, he returned to his parents to explain what happened. However, he was grabbed by the other party, and was later arrested.
Local villagers surrounded him and were unable to escape.
During the process, he was beaten several times by Ma Zhiyun's mother.
Seeing the nervous look on the Northeastern man in front of him, Xu Lei laughed and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's all over. Just feel free to cooperate with us in escorting him."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, raised his eyes and looked serious.
Xu Lei, with your disobedient attitude, you will probably lead everyone into a trap next time!
What happened?
How can it be!
Dream on!
Chen Shu bought the high-speed train tickets last night. He was in a hurry and only bought two seat tickets. The rest were standing tickets.
The drive from Dongzhou City to Jiuping City takes a total of 17 or 18 hours. Two tickets cannot successfully watch Ma Zhongyun. Usually, three consecutive tickets are needed to get a seat in a row.
Several people got on the car and sat or lay down in the aisle next to the door as usual.
Chen Shu arranged for Xu Lei to have a seat to rest. After all, he was still a student, and the institute only gave him a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan. Although he made some mistakes on such a far trip this time, he still had to be taken care of.
Xiaoqiang and Zhu Chaoran worked in three-hour shifts, occupying one seat in turn.
As police officers, Chen Shu and Wang Chongming stayed close to Ma Zhongyun without taking a break. After all, the high-speed train is a public place with a high density of people, so it is not easy to be careless.
The two of them had gotten enough rest the night before, so the next ten hours of driving could be a breeze.
After working at the grassroots police station for so many years, it’s hard to say anything else, but the time spent staying up late is just the same.
Along the way, everyone got acquainted with Ma Zhongyun a lot, but after all, they were policemen and prisoners, especially the two policemen who led the team, both of whom were famous for their safety and caution.
Therefore, the vigilance against them cannot be reduced. Even if the fugitive is caught, which seems to be a certainty, we must always be prepared to deal with emergencies.
Chen Shu, who had been fighting for many days, was holding his coat in his arms with a tired look on his face. He squatted on the outside of the aisle, his body tightly pressed against Ma Zhongyun who was sitting on the inside.
Wang Chongming, who also has "panda eyes", sits on the side of the aisle with his back to the car, his eyes constantly covering Ma Zhongyun, his eyes focused.
Zhu Chaoran, who was on the first shift, took out some snacks he bought at the cake shop while waiting for the bus and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
Ma Zhongyun simply lay down on the ground, put his hands behind his head and looked at the roof of the train above his head, all the irritability and uneasiness in his brows gone.
Xiaoqiang, who was sitting on the carriage seat, stared at Chen Shu's side with his small eyes, tapping the armrest with his fingers "beep" and "beep", not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
Xu Lei sat back comfortably on his seat, took out his mobile phone, and while browsing novels, he unceremoniously opened the specialty gifted by Ma Zhongyun's parents and ate it slowly.
With the whistle of the high-speed train, the Harmony EMU began to drive slowly towards Dongzhou.
