Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After confirming that the three individuals they had caught were indeed criminals, Su Xuan handed them over to his senior colleagues in the
Anti-Pickpocketing Team. He was preparing to head back to the high-speed rail station when he heard Captain Liao’s voice coming through the walkie-talkie.
“Since that’s the case, Su Xuan, don’t head back to the high-speed rail station just yet,” Captain Liao said. “I’m entrusting Line One to you. Catch as many criminals as you can. This is a major operation, so use all your skills. I have faith in you.”
This unexpected directive left all the Anti-Pickpocketing Team members on the communication channel stunned.
“Could it be what I’m thinking, Captain?”
“Su Xuan is all alone; can he handle Line One?”
“Line One is the biggest route, and if something goes wrong, we won’t be able to catch up.”
“Captain, should we reconsider this?”
“Su Xuan is just a temporary transfer; he’s not one of our Anti-Pickpocketing Team members. How are you going to explain to his superiors if something happens?”
The communication channel was filled with voices of concern and suggestions, but Captain Liao remained firm in his decision.
“You make valid points. In that case, send another squad member to accompany Su Xuan on the subway,” Captain Liao finally conceded. “Choose someone experienced and quick-thinking. Remember, cooperate with Su Xuan and make sure to capture all the criminals. Do you understand?”
With their captain’s decision made, the team members quickly responded, “Understood!”
Captain Liao was satisfied with their acknowledgment and ended the communication.
At the platform of Qianjiang Station, Su Xuan looked at his senior colleague who had followed him and then glanced at the nearby rest area. With this fellow Anti-Pickpocketing Team senior by his side, there was only one squad member left to oversee Qianjiang Station.
“Senior, is this arrangement alright?” Su Xuan expressed his concern, worrying that the three criminals they had just captured might escape.
“No problem at all,” his senior colleague replied confidently. “Don’t underestimate Lin Zi; although he looks skinny, he’s surprisingly strong.” “Let’s go, today we’ll sweep Line One clean!”
With his senior’s encouraging words, Su Xuan’s spirit lifted.
“Alright!”
“In that case, I’ll listen to my senior. Let’s clean up Line One together!”
“Let’s see if those criminals still dare to act brazenly!”
Words are one thing, actions are another.
After entering this section of the subway car, the two of them found that there were no criminals around.
Su Xuan hadn’t encountered such a situation before.
His luck today was simply like that of a lucky koi fish.
As long as he headed to crowded places, he could definitely catch one or two criminals.
But this time, when they suddenly entered and couldn’t see a trace of any criminals, Su Xuan felt a bit uncomfortable.
Compared to Su Xuan, Zheng Wenjie seemed much calmer about the situation. He had already seen a lot in his time.
The two of them exchanged glances and then proceeded to the two ends of the subway car.
However, as soon as they had walked a little, Su Xuan’s radar alerted him with a notification sound!
“Ding! Criminal detected, please apprehend the suspect as soon as possible!”
Su Xuan raised his head and realized that the criminal had just entered the range of his radar.
Without wasting any time, he exchanged a glance with his fellow officer and they both immediately rushed towards the criminal.
The criminal was quite alert.
He had just stolen a phone from a young girl’s bag, and the girl still had another phone in her hand, which seemed to be either a backup or a work phone.
Thinking this, Su Xuan quickened his pace, and with his fellow officer, they pinned the criminal down.
The criminal looked bewildered. He initially thought someone had discovered his theft and was about to resist. However, when he turned his head and saw Su Xuan pulling out a pair of silver handcuffs from his waist, his mind went blank.
Who could take out a pair of silver handcuffs? It must be a cop!
Now that the subway had already departed, he couldn’t escape within the carriages.
Furthermore, he had just stolen something, and these two might have seen him stealing, which is why they apprehended him.
Realizing this, the criminal lay down and pretended to be helpless.
“Officers, I didn’t mean to…”
“Please let me go!”
“I only stole a little something…”
The thief wanted to say more, but Su Xuan had already searched him and found the stolen phone. He glanced at the thief coldly.
Using his body-worn camera, he took a photo of the phone as evidence and then returned it to the young girl.
The girl was still feeling nervous after seeing Su Xuan detained the thief without saying a word.
Only after seeing her phone did she realize that her bag was missing!
“It’s my phone!”
“Thank you so much, 1 really appreciate it!”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have realized my phone was stolen!”
The young girl repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
She quickly retrieved her phone.
Other passengers in the carriage also realized what had happened and started clapping and cheering.
“I can’t believe it, it was the police catching a thief!”
“Well done! These kinds of thieves should be brought to justice!”
“I didn’t expect to be sitting in the same carriage as a thief… 1 need to check my money…”
“It’s really impressive! Well done, police!”
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Su Xuan was about to use his communicator to call the train attendant over to handle the criminal.
Suddenly, within his search radius, a red dot was moving rapidly and soon disappeared from his scanning range.
Su Xuan was momentarily stunned, then immediately hastened towards the direction where the red dot had vanished.
Pushing through one crowd after another, he finally spotted the red dot reappearing within his search radius.
The red dot was still moving swiftly, and Su Xuan had to quicken his pace as he pursued it.
It was quite apparent that the other party had likely just seen them catching the thief and might have realized they were police officers.
Now he wanted to escape!
Unfortunately for him, Su Xuan had a Sin Radar, and any thief appearing within his range had no chance of escaping.
Seeing Su Xuan’s actions, Zheng Wenjie hesitated for a moment, then quickly realized that something was amiss. Furrowing his brows, he followed Su Xuan with the criminal in tow.
By this time, Su Xuan had already chased the thief into the last carriage….
