Chapter 101: Good Guy, This Is Scamming!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The massive operation had only been underway for a week, and all the criminals in Xiangjiang City seemed to have vanished, too afraid to show their faces. Virtually every criminal had gone into hiding.
Everyone now knew that the police had suddenly produced a master thief-catcher. In just a week, they had apprehended more than a hundred individuals!
Regardless of whether they were major or minor offenders, none of them stood a chance against this new adversary.
As soon as they appeared before the officers, not a single person could evade their sharp scrutiny.
Consequently, countless criminals fled at the mere mention of their presence.
However, whenever they arrived at transportation hubs, none of them escaped Su Xuan’s discerning eye.
When the holding cells at the Anti-Pickpocketing Team could no longer accommodate the growing number of detainees, the team members were utterly flabbergasted!
“Damn! This… I must be dreaming, right?”
“In just a few days, they’ve caught the same number of criminals it took me a year to catch…”
“Damn, 1 feel like my whole perception… He even caught a thief in front of me, and I didn’t even notice…”
“When I think about how 1 used to be fooled by thieves, suddenly it doesn’t seem worth it…”
“My goodness! If I had such extraordinary skills, I’d be on top of the world!”
“With this level of expertise, why even be a regular police officer? If need be, he should start his own class…”
After Su Xuan had apprehended nearly all the thieves at the subway station, he finally requested a day off.
Zheng Wenjie, who had been chasing thieves alongside him for a whole week, wished he could just collapse on the ground and catch his breath.
A week… a whole week!
They had caught quite a few criminals, but they had not stopped for even a second!
Every day had been a whirlwind of activities.
Every criminal they encountered had fallen prey to Su Xuan’s discerning gaze, and even those few who had managed to escape capture could be counted on one hand.
Although they had primarily apprehended petty thieves, they had nabbed a handful of major criminals as well.
Zheng Wenjie felt he had learned many valuable lessons during his time following Su Xuan, but he was utterly exhausted.
“Wow, you finally get to rest!”
Zheng Wenjie couldn’t help but say, “If you don’t take a break soon, I might not make it…”
Hearing this, Su Xuan, who also felt the relief of knowing he could finally rest, touched his nose.
“Zheng, you’re being a bit dramatic.”
“We police officers sometimes go days without sleep during big operations…”
“Even though we’ve caught many criminals, it’s kind of exciting. I’m not tired at all!”
Zheng Wenjie:…
Come on!
Compared to the exhausted Zheng Wenjie, Captain Liao’s attitude was warmer.
He not only approved Su Xuan’s request for a day off but also kindly brought a glass of water when he saw Su Xuan hadn’t left yet.
“Su Xuan, you’ve worked hard this week.”
“If it weren’t for you, our Anti-Pickpocketing Team wouldn’t have caught so many criminals…”
“Now, there are hardly any criminals on the subway. It’s all thanks to you!”
“On behalf of everyone in our Anti-Pickpocketing Team, I want to thank you.”
“If it weren’t for your help, we wouldn’t have had it so easy…”
Captain Liao sincerely said to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan was surprised by his words.
Gee!
He was taken aback by this sudden serious talk and almost couldn’t respond…
“Captain Liao, you’re making it sound too serious.”
“Even though I joined during the major operation, I’m still a member of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team. I have to give my all for the team!”
“I also want to thank you for giving me the freedom to catch criminals with all my heart.”
Upon hearing this, Captain Liao’s expression became even more heartfelt.
Though he already considered Su Xuan part of their team, hearing Su Xuan’s words made him feel even closer to Su Xuan!
“Su Xuan, since you’ve said that, I’ll be straightforward with you.”
“Kid, I’ve figured it out, you’ve got real talent!”
“These past few days, you’ve covered every subway line in our city…”
“You didn’t even miss the terminal stations! Someone with your skills, if we only send you out on patrol to catch thieves, it’s a bit of a waste.”
“We have half a month left, and I have an idea…”
“Just listen to me, and if you don’t like it, you can forget I mentioned it.”
Since Captain Liao had said this much, Su Xuan naturally wouldn’t argue. He nodded right away.
“No problem, Captain Liao. Please, go ahead.”
Captain Liao thought for a moment and decided not to hide anything.
“In this whole city, we only have a few major transportation hubs.”
“You’ve already covered all the subway routes, what’s left are the high-speed train stations and the airport.”
“For the remaining half month, I hope you can make time to visit these two places thoroughly.”
“If you can catch as many thieves there as you did on the subway, it will be a good thing.”
“But, doing this will be tough on you. I’m just suggesting it, if you’re not willing, that’s okay too.”
Captain Liao only dared to bring up this matter after careful consideration.
After all, no matter what, Su Xuan was just a borrowed police officer.
Originally, according to Captain Liao’s plan, the borrowed police officers would be at most their support, helping the Anti-Pickpocketing Team with their work.
However, he didn’t expect someone like Su Xuan to become a key player in their Anti-Pickpocketing Team.
In one week.
All the thieves caught by the Anti-Pickpocketing Team’s members combined still didn’t match what Su Xuan caught in one day…
Such abilities.
Such achievements…
Why wasn’t he on their team from the beginning?
That stubborn Old Mai! How many times had he said it? Someone with Su
Xuan’s abilities should be in the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, but he just wouldn’t agree!
Damn it!
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became…
“Sure! Since it’s for the team, I have no objections.”
“Perfect! We’ve caught almost all the criminals on the subway, and now we’re left with a few who slipped through the cracks.”
“I was actually thinking of checking out some other places.”
Su Xuan immediately agreed.
He felt quite pleased. It was like he had been thinking about taking a nap when the pillow was offered. Most of the criminals on the subway had been caught, and he was looking forward to a change of scenery.
Turning his head, Captain Liao came up with this suggestion.
If he refused, it would be unfair considering the points he had earned during the past week.
“In that case, I’ll head to the airport from tomorrow!”
Captain Liao was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He quickly told Su Xuan and Zheng Wenjie to rest for the day and start at the airport the next day.
After leaving the office, Su Xuan and Zheng Wenjie went their separate ways.
With a day of rest, Su Xuan planned to return to the county.
But before he could even call Old Mai, he heard a scream not far away.
He paused in his tracks and immediately looked in that direction.
He spotted a familiar figure rushing past him and heading toward a crowd not far away.
Su Xuan instinctively followed.
He then saw the person crouching next to an elderly man who had collapsed on the ground and seemed to be preparing to administer first aid.
However, the elderly man suddenly grabbed the person’s wrist, opened his eyes wide, and exclaimed, “Why did you push me?”
The person whose wrist was grabbed: !!!
Su Xuan:…
Well, this was quite a staged accident!
