Chapter 48: The Criminal Was Dumbfounded: You’re a Police Officer?

Upon noticing this, Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. However, he didn’t rush.
After all, aside from the fact that the group of thieves had disappeared a while ago, there was also a new batch of people in the waiting room. It seemed like the previous train had already departed, and the pickpockets had probably gone to find new targets.
Indeed, Su Xuan’s instincts were correct.
As he left the waiting room and headed outside, he spotted several men wearing duckbill caps loitering near the ticket counters. Their gazes occasionally swept over the surrounding passengers.
At this moment, the ticket hall was incredibly crowded. This station connected to several nearby cities, resulting in a high daily passenger flow.
In the corner closest to the ticket window, a slender man stood, seemingly queuing, yet also appearing detached from the line. He positioned himself where he could easily make a quick getaway, wearing one glove. Without a sound, he moved a couple of steps behind a man, then shifted to a woman’s rear, and she remained completely oblivious to someone cutting in front of her.
The slender man stood incredibly close to her, and if someone unfamiliar had seen them, they might have assumed they knew each other.
And that was precisely why the person standing behind the woman didn’t angrily speak up.
This created the perfect opportunity for the slender man to act.
Standing behind the woman, he blocked her bag, and with astonishing stealth, one of his hands went straight into her purse.
Just as the man in front of the woman, who had just finished buying a ticket and was preparing to leave, moved away, the slender man subtly reached into her pocket and retrieved a stack of red bills.
He then silently tucked them into his inner jacket pocket.
Since everyone was moving forward at that moment, and considering the crowded ticket hall, the man behind the woman’s lack of response to the queue-jumping was somewhat understandable.
The woman had not realized that her money had been stolen and, instead, took a quick step forward. She requested a ticket from a young girl working behind the counter, saying, “Miss, I’d like a ticket to Zhou City for the next available time…”
The slender man watched her with a smug expression.
With his hands in his pockets, whistling nonchalantly, he sauntered away as if to say, “I’ll leave buying your ticket to you; 1’11 wait for you.”
However, just as the man was about to exit the ticket hall, passing by a small side corridor, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.
Someone had grabbed his wrist.
“Hey buddy, isn’t it unethical to leave when your friend was helping you buy a ticket?”
Su Xuan’s words had just been uttered when the slender man turned to look at him, his face showing a hint of displeasure.
“Buddy, why do you care how I buy my ticket?”
“Do you live in the Pacific?”
Although the man said this, he was actually feeling quite flustered. However, when he saw that Su Xuan was dressed casually, not a policeman, and worked as a security guard, he also had confidence in the theft technique he had just used. He was certain he hadn’t been discovered.
Thinking this, the slender man relaxed.
However, Su Xuan was not the type of person to engage in a rational discussion with him. Immediately, he pulled the man into a corner, pressing his hand against the wall.
“Who the hell are you?”
“Damn it! Let me go right now, or I swear I’ll kill you!”
“Let go of me!”
“Damn it! Do you know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me…”
The man became frantic in an instant, swearing relentlessly.
However, before he could finish speaking, Su Xuan had already taken out the handcuff from his waist expressionlessly and pressed it on his wrist with a click.
The words that the man wanted to say were stuck in his throat. His eyes widened like copper bells as he looked at the silver handcuff on his hand in disbelief.
???
Fuck!
He was stunned.” You’re a cop!?”
This unique silver handcuff could only be owned by a police!
Su Xuan expressionlessly dragged him deeper into the corner. Coincidentally, there was a groove at the side. He dragged the person through the groove and dragged him back to the stairwell where he had grabbed the person earlier.
“Behave yourself!”
“Don’t move and don’t scream! Otherwise, I’ll count you guilty again if you alert the enemy!”
As Su Xuan spoke, he glanced at the man’s clothes and focused on his bulging chest.
“Take it out.”
“I’ve already seen it. I advise you to take it out yourself. Don’t force me to do it.”
“Otherwise, it will be too ugly.”
Hearing this, the man’s face turned ashen.
Since Su Xuan had already caught him, it must be because he had really seen him attack.
Besides, he had already been pinned down. Even if he didn’t take it out, the other party could search him directly.
Thinking of this, the man could only take out all the red notes in front of his chest.
At least 20,000!
Su Xuan immediately used the law enforcement recorder to record this scene before taking all the red banknotes.
“Now, you better stay here.”
“Remember your face. I’ve already recorded it with the law enforcement recorder. If you dare to run away, you’d better not let me find you again.”
“Of course, if you run away, you will soon see your name on the wanted list.”
As he spoke, Su Xuan cuffed the other party’s hand as well. He took out a new pair of handcuffs and cuffed him to the railing like before.
The man’s face was ashen as he lowered his head and sneered.
“Officer, don’t worry. I’ve already been caught by you. Of course 1 won’t run away.”
“I’m just stealing something. If I run away, 1’11 be a wanted criminal.”
“I still understand what’s more important.”
Hearing this, Su Xuan glanced at him. He did not expect this fellow to think so clearly.
However, this was not the reason why he could come out and steal things.
Su Xuan took the money and left the stairwell. When he left, he closed the door of the stairwell.
When she was about to go to the ticket hall, she realized that the woman had already arrived at the waiting room and was waiting.
He shook his head helplessly.
Looking at how she was waiting in the waiting room, he knew that she probably didn’t realize that the money in her bag was missing.
He walked over on the spot.
“Sister, do you want to see if the money in your pocket is gone?”
His words stunned the woman.
She subconsciously thought of Su Xuan as a bad person and wanted to shout, but she saw Su Xuan take out his police badge and wave it in front of her.
“Big sister, I’m in plain clothes and I’m currently on a mission.”
“I just saw a pickpocket take your bag.”
Hearing this, the woman immediately reacted and subconsciously rummaged through her bag. Then, she was stunned!
She had thought that the young man in front of her was a bad person, but she did not expect him to be a police officer. Moreover, he even told her that she had been stolen!
That was the life-saving money she had to pay her husband!
“My money.”
She immediately panicked and was about to shout when Su Xuan stopped her..
