When the two returned to the police station, it was almost time to get off work. Zhu Chaoran rushed to the canteen without stopping.
Seeing his anxious look, Chen Shu was a little amused, but he also recalled the scene when he was studying, when all the boys in the class would swarm out after the fourth period in the morning.
When he returned to the office and changed into his police uniform before going to the cafeteria, he stood at the door and saw Zhu Chaoran sitting in the front row, holding a large bowl of steaming noodles and taking a big gulp of noodles.
Right took a big bite of the big pig's trotters placed on the small bowl and was sweating profusely.
Chen Shu closed the canteen door, went to the food window and ordered an egg noodles, brought it to Zhu Chaoran and sat down.
Zhu Chaoran chewed the pig's trotters and asked in confusion: "Brother Shu, although Boss Zheng has helped us arrest several people, he doesn't look like a good person."
Chen Shu swallowed the noodles in his mouth, took a sip of the soup, and said calmly: "He is indeed not a good person. In the early years, there was a series of gang cases involving theft of battery cars and motorcycles in our office, and he was the main collector (seller) of the stolen goods of that gang.
people."
"Then how many years was he sentenced?"
"Because there was insufficient evidence, I let him go. But at that time, I 'flicked the brass stick a few times' and developed him into an informant."
"Dancing with copper sticks" in Dongzhou proverb means putting out smoke bombs and bluffing people. Taking advantage of the information gap to cover up things that don't exist, so that they appear fake and real.
During the investigation of the battery car and motorcycle theft gang cases that year, as a veteran boss Zheng, it was extremely difficult for the police to collect evidence of his subjective intention to collect stolen goods.
On the other hand, when the police were collecting evidence for the gang's criminal behavior, he did make great efforts and provided some decisive evidence.
At that time, the main target of the police's crackdown was still the theft gang, so they opened the Internet to Boss Zheng who actively cooperated. In fact, part of the reason was that there were not enough police forces at that time, or they had the energy to open another case at the same time.
Chen Shu took advantage of this general trend and used the power of the police to crack down on the theft gangs. He used his connections to bluff Boss Zheng and 'fished' him out.
From then on, Boss Zheng appeared to be grateful to Chen Shu and responded to all requests.
Chen Shu didn't care about his gesture, and even went out of his way to cooperate. For example, this time Boss Zheng wanted to help his friend get his car from the police station.
This kind of electric motorcycle is actually not worth a lot of money. You can get it for a few thousand yuan at most on the market. But if Boss Zheng can fish out the seized motorcycle from the police station.
This kind of reputation in the world is very valuable and can be used to do many things.
Therefore, when he asked Chen Shu to help his friend retrieve the car, Chen Shu not only agreed, but also allowed him to take people directly to the police station to retrieve the car with great fanfare.
Chen Shu's idea is also very simple. For him, face is worthless. Solving the case and actually arresting the suspect is the ultimate goal of all his actions.
He cooperated with Boss Zheng to gain face in the world, and Boss Zheng also had to give back something genuine.
"Exchange of equal value." Chen Shu put the only egg pancake in a small bowl and placed it in Zhu Chaoran's big bowl. "Don't think that our police are high-level informants. If you show special favor to them, you can give them instructions and orders in vain.
They do this and that. As long as it does not violate our legal bottom line, they can either give them money or give them power."
Zhu Chaoran opened his mouth and nodded in understanding.
"And we need to be prepared for their unpredictable and dangerous behavior in the future. Therefore, it is very important to conduct a comprehensive observation of the informant in the early stage, with moral character and character being the first priority."
Chen Shu picked up the last egg pancake in the small bowl and placed it in front of his eyes:
"At the beginning, I wanted to get Lao Zheng's confession as quickly as possible, so I starved him and his shop workers for 24 hours. When I finally let them go, I gave them both a big piece of bread as a gift.
On his way out, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he tore half of the bread and gave it to the worker."
Zhu Chaoran put down his chopsticks and scratched his head: "I've been hungry for twenty-four hours before I got the bread. Why don't I just stuff it into my mouth first?"
"That worker, like the boy we met in his shop today, is also a disabled person."
After saying that, Chen Shu stuffed the egg pancake in his chopsticks into his mouth.
Zhu Chaoran suddenly realized: "I can't tell that Lao Zheng is still a good person."
After swallowing the egg pancake, Chen Shu took two paper towels from the table and put one in front of Zhu Chaoran: "I can't say that I'm a good person, but at least I have a bottom line. Although there is no evidence, I guess I have done some things secretly.
A sneaky thing."
"Brother Shu, why don't you just kill them all? Actually, when I look at Lao Zheng, he looks like a thief! Now that I think about it, maybe the cars in his shop are stolen cars!"
Chen Shu was happy when he heard this: "We police officers, in addition to seeing with our eyes, we also have to think with our heads. Old Zheng was shocked. Now the cars in his shop are cleaner than your pockets. But there are
You are right, Lao Zheng is a thief."
Zhu Chaoran stared: "Then let's catch him quickly!"
Chen Shu stretched out his left hand and made a fist. He moved his fingers and said slowly one by one:
"Do you have evidence? The informant has also been arrested. Who will inform us in the future? Do you think if we kill Lao Zheng, there will be no more thieves in our jurisdiction? Well, maybe it will decrease in the short term.
Take the time to go to the back office and take a look at the relevant data on battery car and motorcycle thefts in our office in recent years. I haven't seen it, but I know it must be decreasing year by year. Do you know why this is?
Because Lao Zheng and the others abide by the rules and know how to behave appropriately."
Seeing Zhu Chaoran stunned, Chen Shu chuckled: "Okay, I won't disturb your appetite. You can eat first, and I will talk to you slowly later."
Zhu Chaoran hurriedly continued to burp and chew the pig's trotters.
After dinner, Chen Shu walked to the door of the cafeteria and stood there, took out Liqun cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and handed it to Ma Suo who followed him out.
"Is the case solved?" Ma Suo took a deep breath and asked relaxedly.
Chen Shu nodded: "I guess it will be soon."
Ma Suo thought for a while and said, "You and Xiao Li didn't say those words just now."
"Chaoyang has a strong personality and is not suitable for these things. Unless he also takes the path of fighting in the future, it is better to practice it again. It is best to think it through on his own."
Ma Suo took over the conversation and said, "Zhu Chaoran is a co-police officer after all."
He didn't say anything else. He knew that Chen Shu should be able to understand what he meant.
Police assistants should not master investigative techniques.
Chen Shu glanced at Ma Suo, threw the unfinished cigarette in his hand on the steps, raised his foot and stamped it out:
"Zhu Chaoran is kind-hearted and courageous. He is smooth but sticks to the bottom line. The most important thing is that he is still young and has a future."
