Chapter 76: Goodness, Catching Thieves Even Inside The Subway?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Xuan returned to the platform 1 of the subway station, and if he remembers correctly, he had seen several criminals here, and they hadn’t all been caught yet.
However, as soon as he descended, Su Xuan saw a subway train approaching from not far away, clearly about to pull into the station.
At the same time, he heard the system’s alert sound.
Su Xuan also noticed two criminals who were clearly trying to squeeze into the crowd. Their actions seemed somewhat suspicious, as if they intended to board the train along with the passengers.
Seeing this scene, Su Xuan felt a sense of doubt.
However, he quickly understood the criminals’ intentions.
If they boarded the train here, they would have the opportunity to move around in various carriages.
Line 1 was a major line that ran through the entire Xiangjiang City, from south to north, with numerous stations along the way, and a multitude of passengers getting on and off.
If they got inside here, it would truly be like fish in water, and it would be almost impossible to locate them!
Furthermore, this was the time when high-speed trains were arriving at the station, and the passengers pouring down from above to various parts of the city were exceptionally crowded. The two criminals blended in with the crowd and boarded the subway with two other passengers. Su Xuan squinted his eyes, feeling a surge of determination, and followed them onto the train.
Not long after, the subway started moving, and Su Xuan watched the red dot on the radar enter one of the carriages and walked over.
Every few carriages, there were transit police officers. Su Xuan first found one of them and asked him to block the carriage connection point. He then proceeded to observe the pickpocket in action without making a sound.
At this moment, the pickpocket had targeted an elderly lady carrying a bag. The elderly lady had probably been traveling for quite a few stations, and the items in her bag seemed to be souvenirs from a destination a few stops away. Because there were so many items, she couldn’t zip up the bag, so she held it protectively, preventing the thief from succeeding.
However, when too many people boarded at this station, she had no choice but to be pushed aside.
This gave the pickpocket an opportunity.
Su Xuan observed the thief’s actions and noticed the bulging pockets. Without needing to look closely, he knew that the thief had probably pickpocketed several people before making his move this time.
Since that was the case, there was no need to wait for the thief to actually steal something.
Su Xuan took out a pair of silver handcuffs and, as he approached the thief when he was about to make his move, he handcuffed him!
Once a person was apprehended, a search of his entire body would likely reveal stolen goods. Su Xuan thought this through and acted swiftly.
The unfortunate man was just about to reach into the old lady’s bag; he had even spotted at least a few banknotes inside the pocket!
And there was also the golden bracelet in the old lady’s hand; he was quite excited about it!
However, before he could make his move, he found himself wearing a pair of silver handcuffs out of nowhere. It scared him half to death, and his face immediately turned pale.
He felt like he was in a dream.
No, what’s going on here?
The man glanced at the silver handcuffs on his hands, then looked around, and suddenly tried to run.
Su Xuan forcefully pulled the man back, grabbing his hand and pushing him down to the ground, sternly whispering, “Don’t move, police!”
As soon as the man heard the word “police,” his initial resistance intensified!
He had already shown his silver handcuffs; didn’t he know it was the police?
What a joke! How could he be caught here!?
The man shrugged off Su Xuan’s hand and struggled to get up, but Su Xuan, with a cold expression, grabbed him and pressed him down, lifting one leg to pin him down on his back.
Now the man couldn’t struggle at all.
He could only lie there obediently, watching as both his hands were handcuffed, his eyes fixed in disbelief, starting to question his life choices.
Up to this point, he still didn’t understand where he had exposed a flaw that led to his discovery…
Su Xuan didn’t pay any attention to the criminal he had already apprehended. He immediately turned around, pulled out another pair of silver handcuffs from his pocket, and directly clasped them onto another criminal in the crowd who seemed to be enjoying the spectacle.
“Click!”
This criminal was a woman in her thirties.
She was carrying a large shoulder bag and had bright red lipstick. Her clothes were quite baggy, making her appear overweight. After her accomplice was caught, she immediately withdrew her hand, as if she were just another onlooker who had been startled by the commotion, standing there and watching.
She had no intention of helping her accomplice.
She had thought that after her transformation, no one would suspect her as a pickpocket…
But now, Su Xuan had grabbed her wrist.
She panicked instantly!
“What are you doing?”
“Let me go! I’m not a thief!”
“Are you crazy? Why are you holding onto me like this!”
The woman immediately started shouting and became extremely agitated.
Not only her, but even the passengers who had been standing next to her were stunned for a moment.
Then, almost instinctively, they pushed several steps away, creating space between themselves and the woman and Su Xuan.
Some of them couldn’t help but speculate about the woman’s identity.
After all, Su Xuan had just directly apprehended a criminal, and he had already identified himself as a police officer.
Who else could be handcuffed by the police?
Even though the woman was yelling loudly, the passengers were still somewhat nervous. Meanwhile, a gray figure hidden in a corner quietly shifted away to the other side…
If there weren’t so many people here, he could have easily slipped away!
Oh my goodness!
How did the police end up here?
And they came in with two silver handcuffs; the thieves were nearly scared out of their wits…
At this moment, Su Xuan had one hand holding the woman’s wrist, and his eyes were still fixed on the radar. He saw a red dot on the radar that seemed to be trying to escape, and he immediately shouted.
“Quick! Spread out! The person in the gray clothes to the left-front!”
“Get him!”
After Su Xuan’s words, the transit police on the subway immediately rushed forward, and the crowd obediently dispersed.
There were indeed quite a few people in gray clothing in this carriage.
But as they say, a guilty conscience betrays itself.
Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, the pickpocket started running even faster, and the transit police immediately recognized who the thief was with just a glance.
They rushed up without a second thought, tackling him to the ground, and promptly pulled out another pair of silver handcuffs to restrain him.
The man struggled briefly but couldn’t break free and eventually gave up.
They had all been apprehended.
There was no escaping now.
Compared to his quick realization of the situation, the woman caught by Su Xuan seemed less sensible…
She was still yelling loudly, attempting to use the power of public opinion to make Su Xuan release her.
“Help! The police are randomly arresting people!”
“Someone, please help me… Get him off me… I’m innocent…”
Hearing the woman’s cries, everyone fell silent.
Are you kidding?
The transit police had already taken action, which indicated that the man they were apprehending was most likely an undercover police officer…
If they intervened now, they would probably find themselves in hot water!
Su Xuan, with a cold gaze, stared at the woman in front of him and said in a stern tone, “Stop shouting! It’s the Anti-Pickpocketing Team arresting people.. You better cooperate!”
