Chapter 58: Random Item Mission?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Su Xuan was completely unaware that his remarkable achievements had already become known to the surrounding police precincts.

He roamed around the train station, time passing by swiftly. He had caught quite a few thieves already, and in his determination to apprehend more, he hadn’t even taken a lunch break, opting to carry it along, just to catch more!

However…

These thieves weren’t exactly dumb. Otherwise, the plainclothes officers who came from the precinct earlier wouldn’t have returned empty-handed. Moreover, there were connections within the thief community, and among those who pilfered daily at the station, there were many familiar faces.

As Su Xuan kept catching one thief after another, some of the thieves began to sense that something was amiss. They noticed their familiar “colleagues” had seemingly disappeared. Consequently, with news of the police presence, these thieves moved quickly to evade capture before the officers could get to them.

Thieves: “The heat is on, scatter!”

As a result, a handful of them made their escape.

Having caught most of the small-time thieves, there were now only a few left. Su Xuan continued to patrol the station, with his guilt radar, for quite some time. The display showed dense clusters of green markers.

Not a single red dot had appeared.

In just the morning’s work, he had apprehended all the station’s pickpockets!

Su Xuan furrowed his brow. “Aren’t there supposed to be a lot of pickpockets here? Why so few?”

“We’ve only caught about thirty of them. Isn’t that a bit low?”

“That’s strange. Could it be that some of them ran off?”

It wasn’t entirely impossible.

But if these thieves had indeed fled, it would be a significant loss for Su Xuan. While each individual pickpocket might not accumulate many points, the sum of their contributions would be substantial.

If they escaped, he’d be at a loss.

However, the pickpockets caught by Su Xuan couldn’t hear his thoughts, or they would have definitely scolded him: Heartless! You treat us like tools for scoring points; you have no shame!

“No, no,” Su Xuan paused, took a sip of water, and looked up at the bustling crowd inside the station. He clapped his hands and said, “Let’s make one more round! If we still don’t find anything, then we can head back!”

After all, he had caught quite a few thieves today, but he was unwilling to stop just like that. Why not take one more round? Maybe he’d get lucky.

However, soon, Su Xuan realized that taking another round was indeed a good idea. He had moved from the boarding area to the waiting hall, and he hadn’t spotted a single red marker.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed two red markers suddenly appear at the taxi stand.

The two criminal points seemed to overlap, almost tricking him. That was a genuine surprise!

Could it be that there were thousands of criminal points involved?!

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was actually two criminals overlapping, which had momentarily confused him.

These two criminals were a man and a woman, with their respective criminal points being 80 and 76. They could be considered among the higher-ranking pickpockets in the trade.

Su Xuan was briefly stunned. He instinctively followed the direction of the two red markers and saw a couple embracing each other. The man was carrying a large suitcase and heading towards a taxi.

[Ding! Detected two criminals with suspicion of escape. Host, please apprehend immediately…]

[Upon completion of the mission, rewards include random points and items!]

The system’s voice rang out, and Su Xuan was momentarily taken aback. To be honest, most of the rewards he received from the system for catching criminals were usually in the form of points. This sudden appearance of a random item was indeed a first.

Such special conditions probably indicated that the man and woman before him were not ordinary individuals. Moreover, both of them were marked in red, suggesting that they were committing crimes as a team.

He couldn’t afford to let them escape, even if it was for the sake of obtaining the item.

With this in mind, Su Xuan quickened his pace and headed straight toward the man and woman. He was concerned they might block a taxi and attempt to flee.

However, the distance to the spot where he needed to intercept the taxi was still considerable. Su Xuan decided to take a shortcut by leaping over the railing, which would save him a good amount of distance.

The man and woman, whether they were a married couple or lovers, had already hailed a taxi. The woman was holding onto the man’s arm, and they were about to get into the taxi.

If Su Xuan didn’t hurry and catch up, they might have already escaped in the taxi. However…

As he was getting closer to them, Su Xuan’s footsteps hesitated, and he began to slow down. While he could see the red markers above their heads, indicating that they were indeed criminals, he couldn’t be certain if they were carrying any stolen goods or contraband. If he couldn’t find anything during a search…

They might turn the tables on him.

Su Xuan furrowed his brow in deep thought.

Typically, thieves who came to the train station to steal things would carry large bags or wear oversized clothing to have more pockets to hide stolen items. While he knew that group thefts weren’t uncommon, the coordination between these two seemed peculiar. Furthermore, they were holding such a large suitcase.

Could it be that the suitcase contained all the stolen goods and contraband?

Su Xuan was torn with indecision.

While the individual criminality ratings for these two people weren’t particularly high, their combined score was undoubtedly the highest among all the criminals Su Xuan had encountered today. Moreover, dealing with a husband and wife team committing crimes together would likely pose even greater challenges.

Su Xuan lifted his gaze towards the pair.

The man wore a black overcoat with a low-hanging hat that obscured his face.

The woman had disheveled hair and wore professional attire, with most of her face hidden in the man’s embrace, making it impossible to discern her appearance.

They were impeccably concealed, with the only visible detail being the hand that gripped the suitcase—long-fingered, fair, and with pronounced veins.

Seeing the taxi’s rear trunk open before them, ready for them to place their suitcase inside, Su Xuan furrowed his brow. He spotted his two colleagues not far away and quickly signaled to them. He then hastened towards the couple, intending to intercept them before they could get away.

With the opportunity to obtain a random item at hand, Su Xuan was determined not to let it slip through his fingers. He simply couldn’t accept that outcome.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be satisfied!

“Hey, hey, hold on…”

“I’m in a bit of a hurry. Can I have this cab?”

Su Xuan stepped forward and spoke, but before he could finish, the man from the couple shot him an aggressive glare.

“Get lost!”

Su Xuan felt a bit awkward.

“Um, just wait a moment…”

He noticed that his two colleagues were already approaching, and in that case, he couldn’t let the couple get away!

“Wait for what? Get lost!”

“This is the cab we hailed. If you need a ride, find one yourself!”

Even the taxi driver turned to look at them, wearing a disdainful expression.

“Young man, this cab indeed belongs to them. If you need a ride, wait for another one. What’s the idea of trying to snatch their cab?”

Su Xuan thought to himself, I don’t need the cab; I need the people!

As he saw his two colleagues approaching, he prepared to show his police identification…

But at that very moment, the man from the couple suddenly charged towards him, a flash of silver in his hand….
