Chapter 77: The Secret Joy of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team Members! Winning Big This Time!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing that Su Xuan was actually a member of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, the woman’s initially exaggerated expression suddenly froze on her face, and her entire posture slumped.
They had been worried about being discovered by undercover anti-pickpocket personnel if they stayed here for too long, so they had planned to make a quick escape when the subway arrived…
And maybe pickpocket a little something while they were at it…
But they had never seen Anti-Pickpocketing Team members take the subway before, as in the past, they always operated within the station.
Today, an Anti-Pickpocketing Team member had actually boarded the subway!?
It was as if the heavens were against them!
Moreover, judging by the plainclothes officer’s approach, he had already recognized their identities and immediately subdued both her and her companions.
This left the woman very puzzled.
Although they often operated at high-speed train stations, they always had different styles and appearances each time, even altering their demeanor to match their outfits…
Over the years, they had never failed even when the members of the
Anti-Pickpocketing Team walked past them!
Today, they had been caught by such a young person…
Where had they gone wrong?
Of course, Su Xuan couldn’t answer that question for them.
Onlookers nearby quickly understood the situation when Su Xuan revealed his identity.
They watched as the undercover police officer apprehended three thieves in no time and were utterly shocked.
“Oh my… Really? She looks so ordinary, but she’s actually a thief?”
“Wow, when she was handcuffed just now, I was still wondering what was going on!”
“She was standing right next to me just now… I couldn’t tell at all!”
“I need to check if my money is missing… The police officer is really something! We have three thieves in this carriage… There are too many thieves, it’s so unsafe…”
“So, this is when we rely on our great police officers…”
Passengers exchanged comments, all with a sense of lingering fear.
They knew that if Su Xuan and his team hadn’t suddenly appeared and caught the thieves on the subway…
Their wallets would probably be lost.
Fearful that they might be the victim, everyone felt a shiver down their spines at the thought.
Their gratitude towards Su Xuan deepened even further.
By this time, the subway had already departed, and there was no turning back. Su Xuan took out his walkie-talkie.
“I’m Su Xuan from the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, currently on Subway Line 1, heading towards Qianjiang Station!”
“Is there anyone from Qianjiang Station to assist? I’ve apprehended three thieves…”
“Two males and one female, in the last car of the second section!”
“We caught them rather quickly and haven’t had a chance to search them yet. Any female team members available?”
This time, Su Xuan had switched the walkie-talkie to the dedicated channel for the Anti-Pickpocketing Team.
Even so, all the Anti-Pickpocketing Team members could hear his conversation crystal clear.
Everyone was left dumbfounded.
Especially their squad leader, Captain Liao, who found this situation utterly baffling.
“Why are you on Subway Line 1?”
“Weren’t you at the station just now?”
“Goodness, I didn’t keep an eye on you for a moment, and you’ve already run off???!!!”
Captain Liao was truly bewildered at this moment.
He had just delivered a special suspect apprehended by Su Xuan back to headquarters. Then, he suddenly heard Su Xuan’s voice on the walkie-talkie.
The key point was that Su Xuan wasn’t even at the station anymore!
When did he get on the subway?
Fine, getting on the subway without notifying anyone was one thing, but he had also managed to apprehend three criminals on the subway!
Even Captain Liao, an experienced squad leader, couldn’t help but feel a bit dumbfounded at this moment…
Su Xuan scratched his head and felt a bit awkward even through the walkie-talkie.
“I happened to see two criminals getting on the subway just as I was about to leave. I followed them onto the train.”
“Then, when I went to apprehend them, 1 noticed there was another one in the same carriage…”
“I didn’t let any of them get away!”
“Captain, don’t worry, I’ll be back in a bit!”
“As for the criminals here, who’s available to take them off my hands?”
The police officers on the other end of the walkie-talkie heard Su Xuan’s words and were left stunned…
They were flabbergasted…
This was only the first day of a major operation, and he had already caught several thieves…
This was just too fast!
Previously, Su Xuan had been calling for someone to come and take over the pickpockets on the public channel. However, since it wasn’t their own responsibility, the members of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, even though a bit sour, considered it normal.
After all, he was a man who could catch more than twenty pickpockets in a single day!
But…
Now it was their turn to pick up the situation, but why did it feel so off?
Su Xuan was really something!
For these experienced team members, catching so many criminals in such a short time at places like the high-speed railway station and the airport, with their high flow of people, was quite challenging. Unlike pickpockets in regular settings, identifying and catching them here was not easy.
In a short period of time, Su Xuan was on a roll, capturing one after another, it was almost effortless.
He even caught them in pairs or more.
It was as if he was catching pickpockets as easily as plucking ripe melons from a vine.
This moment left the team members genuinely stunned.
“Damn… this guy…”
“He’s way too awesome!”
“Damn, it’s only been a short while, and he’s caught three more. Can’t you let old guys like me from the Anti-Pickpocketing Team to retire in peace?”
“I can’t believe it… no wonder he can catch thirty in a day… he truly lives up to his reputation…”
Sounds of admiration from the team members could be heard on the walkie-talkie, and the Qianjiang Station team members were a bit bewildered, but they responded promptly.
“Alright, 1 understand. I’m already here with my colleagues at the exit of the last car, ready to assist at any moment!”
“It would be great if you could come from the last car; it’s more convenient!”
Su Xuan didn’t refuse, and together with the railway police, he brought the three criminals to the last car.
Soon, the subway arrived at the station.
Su Xuan pulled the three criminals out of the car, and they were quickly apprehended by the two Anti-Pickpocketing Team members waiting here.
The three criminals were then taken to the subway station’s lounge.
The railway police returned to the subway.
In the lounge…
After searching them, the two Anti-Pickpocketing Team members were left dumbfounded as they stared at the pile of stolen items.
“They really are pickpockets!”
“Impressive, Su Xuan. 1 didn’t expect you to have such skills!”
“We didn’t even think about catching thieves on the subway before…”
The two couldn’t help but marvel. Their voices were transmitted to the other officers through the walkie-talkie.
The officers who had been feeling a bit envious before suddenly had their minds opened up.
“Yeah! Why didn’t we think of that?”
“Many criminals escape through the subway or buses, even though they commit thefts in the station.”
“If we could intensify our investigations in this area, our theft capture rate would increase significantly…”
“I didn’t expect it, Su Xuan, your mind is quite sharp!”
“It seems that collective brainstorming has its merits. We should listen to others’ opinions and not limit ourselves…”
The group of team members were truly impressed.
Su Xuan was not only highly capable but also quite innovative. He seemed like a natural talent for anti-pickpocket work!
They had definitely scored big this time!
