China's management of guns began in the 1990s. At that time, in order to strengthen gun management and maintain social order, the Gun Management Law was passed.
Before that, there were conflicts and struggles between several villages in the mainland. Not to mention pistols, submachine guns could be pulled out and fired several times.
In the following twenty years, the public security organs strictly inspected firearms and ammunition and never tolerated them, and the corresponding penalties were extremely severe. For example, possessing a real firearm was a criminal offense at the beginning, and even those with minor offenses would be imprisoned! Even if you possess an imitation firearm,
As long as the gun meets the corresponding standards and the number of possessions is two or more, it will be considered a real gun and violates the crime of illegal possession of firearms in the Criminal Law!
As time goes by, nowadays, real guns are rarely seen in society. Correspondingly, serious violent crimes that require the assistance of weapons, such as bank robberies or gold stores, have basically gradually disappeared.
Chen Shu has been a police officer for eight years and has never heard of such a case!
He sat in the passenger seat, holding the armrest with his right hand and holding the turned-on walkie-talkie with his left hand, listening carefully to the story about the robbery of the gold store on Gaobengqiao Road.
The robbery occurred at a gold store on Gaotengqiao Road, a street within the jurisdiction of Zhongshan Police Station that is famous for its large number of gold stores.
According to the call from the people at the scene, there is only one suspect. He is a young man under the age of thirty, and the weapon he holds is a kitchen knife. The hostage under control is a female clerk of the gold store.
He is about forty years old.
The criminal suspect became extremely agitated after kidnapping the female gold store clerk. He is currently blocked in the gold store by the crowd and unable to leave. The on-duty police officers and leaders on duty from the Zhongshan Institute are also on their way to the scene.
This situation is not right!
It stands to reason that if the criminal suspect robbed the gold and ran away immediately, how would he have the time and energy to take hostages?
If you can't steal the gold, you should run away and stay in the store waiting to be caught by the police and sent to jail?
The intercom mentioned that the subject was currently blocked in a gold shop by the crowd. Chen Shu didn't believe this statement.
If the social atmosphere of 20 years ago had been considered, maybe one or two people holding kitchen knives would have been knocked to the ground by the onlookers taking advantage of the excitement.
Nowadays, the onlookers really just watch.
This is not a disparagement. As society develops, this is a normal phenomenon. Professional matters must still be done by professional people. Criminals must be left to the police to deal with.
Chen Shu just sighed a little.
Yan Chenxi, who was sitting in the back row, put his head over and glanced at Chen Shu's waist: "Suo Chen, what are we going to do later? Arrest people directly? Do you have a gun?"
Chen Shu explained patiently: "If the police in our police station are not on duty, they usually do not carry guns. In a case like today where a criminal suspect robbed a gold store and took control of the hostages, our responsibility as the police station in the jurisdiction is the first
Arrive at the scene on time, report the situation to the command center and maintain order. Generally speaking, such violent criminals will be dealt with by the criminal police and the special police team."
Yan Chenxi said "Oh" and then asked: "We just stand there and watch? That's boring. Hey, what if that person wants to run away?"
Chen Shu knew that it was the first time for the other party to encounter such a case of robbing a gold store, and he was curious, so he continued to explain patiently: "Actually, it is also the first time for me to encounter this situation. Let's play it by ear when we get to the scene."
Yan Chenxi's eyes rolled: "Chen Suo, what if that person runs towards me when he runs away?"
Chen Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but for the sake of the patrol car he was sitting in now, he still had to explain: "So when you get to the scene, you don't want to go close, just maintain order outside."
After pausing for a moment, he glanced at Zhu Chaoran who was driving the vehicle and Xiaoqiang who was getting ready to go, and said in a deep voice: "The same goes for you two. When the time comes, you will stand outside to maintain order. If the target runs out, you must be careful
Don't stop him, just let him run away. Do you understand?"
Zhu Chaoran stared ahead and said without looking back: "Okay, Brother Shu, I will listen to you!"
Xiao Qiang muttered something like "I'm retiring from the army" and "We can't disgrace the scouts", but looking at Chen Shu's increasingly serious face, he finally nodded in agreement.
Chen Shu retracted his gaze from Xiaoqiang, looked at Yan Chenxi, and said with a wry smile: "Is it different from what you imagined?"
Yan Chenxi nodded obediently, but said nothing this time, because she knew that although the young but experienced police officer in front of her would definitely explain to her.
Chen Shu originally wanted to explain the old meeting saying of "protect yourself first, then you can protect the masses", but suddenly a different emotion emerged in his heart.
Normally, he kept saying these words to his colleagues, but now that he was in trouble and in such a dangerous situation, he couldn't say it out loud.
He was silent for a while and then answered softly: "It's just a job, there's no need to risk your life."
The car suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Chaoran drove the electric patrol car very smoothly, and he probably got started early in the past few days.
He took full advantage of the car's small size and ability to maneuver, accurately picked the most correct route through the twists and turns of the alleys in the old city center, and arrived at the scene in the shortest time at an extremely fast speed.
The scene of the crime was obvious. The door of a gold shop at the corner of the alley was surrounded by people.
There is a sign hanging above the head, Friendship Gold Store!
At a glance, there is a huge crowd!
There are no police cars or police cars to maintain order nearby!
In line with Chen Shu’s previous prediction, this kind of alley must be convenient and fast for such a small car!
They were the first police officers to arrive on the scene.
"I'll go inside to check on the situation. You guys stay outside and don't come in!"
Chen Shu took out the protective gloves from the iron box in the car and stuffed them into his pocket. He turned around and jumped off the electric car. He cut a path through the crowd and rushed in: "Police! Police! Get out of my way!"
Zhu Chaoran parked the car on the side of the road, took reflective cones and isolation tape from the trunk, and in tacit agreement with Xiaoqiang, began to disperse the crowd outside.
"Go quickly!"
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Go away! Why are you still standing here!"
!!!
After Yan Chenxi got off the bus, he also stayed outside and began to cooperate with the crowd in urging them to leave.
"Everyone, go home quickly. It's dangerous here!"
"Go home and watch the news!"
"Uncle, go home. There is nothing to see here."
Although it was still noon, Yan Chenxi, who was crowded in the crowd, felt cold for some reason. She subconsciously glanced at the direction Chen Shu left.
The broad back that had always been so reassuring was now completely lost in the crowd.
