Chapter 71: These Are Criminals? See if I believe it!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Whether Su Xuan was bragging or not, the police officers didn’t know. But this thought was quickly pushed aside.

It was a major operation now!

Even if Su Xuan were foolish, he wouldn’t want to draw the leadership’s ire at a time like this. So, it had to be real.

Several police officers from the city police station, who had some free time, were quick to respond over the radio.

“Do you have three suspects? We’re on our way.”

“Do you need a body search? If so, I’ll bring a female colleague.”

Upon hearing the voices over the radio, Su Xuan remembered that he had forgotten to search the suspects. He immediately replied, asking them to bring a female colleague for the search.

While waiting, Su Xuan checked the system.

Although the system upgrade was not yet complete, all three suspects were already marked as apprehended. The points were awarded according to the system’s previous statement, which was based on the suspects’ wickedness value multiplied by two.

The initially cleared wickedness value had now crossed the hundred mark.

Su Xuan was ecstatic. If this trend continued, it wouldn’t be long after this major operation that he could afford to buy intermediate potions.

And not just potions…

Su Xuan gazed at the dazzling array of items in the system’s store, his heart filled with longing.

Meanwhile, inside the City Bureau’s surveillance room, Director Zheng and the Deputy Director had already pulled up the surveillance footage from the high-speed railway station’s duty office. They watched as Su Xuan apprehended the three suspects, their eyes widening in astonishment.

Even though they held high-ranking positions, they weren’t originally from the anti-theft squad. In fact, they couldn’t help but doubt whether the elderly farmer and the woman were really criminals.

“Zhou…” Director Zheng took a sharp breath and widened his eyes, showing his amazement. “Do you think this kid Su Xuan is quite something? It hasn’t even been half a day, and he’s already nabbed three thieves.”

“Especially that old farmer. He has the perfect farmer’s look. If Su Xuan hadn’t caught him, even if he walked past me, I wouldn’t have guessed he was a thief!”

Deputy Director Zhou Jianlin nodded solemnly. “True… I have to admit that if Su Xuan managed to catch nearly thirty criminals in a single day, he must have some skill.”

“These two individuals indeed don’t seem like criminals, but let’s wait and see… 1 believe Captain Liao from the anti-theft squad should have arrived by now.” Hearing this, Director Zheng finally felt relieved.

“True, if there’s anyone who can spot criminals at first glance, it’s Captain Liao,” Deputy Director Zhou agreed solemnly. “Let’s wait a bit more. If Su Xuan has really apprehended three thieves, it would be quite incredible.”

Deputy Director Zhou nodded thoughtfully, neither confirming nor denying the possibilities.

As they had suspected, among the individuals heading towards the duty office were not only officers from the City District Police Station but also Captain Liao, the leader of the Anti-Theft Squad, who had recently parted ways with Su Xuan.

Captain Liao was utterly astonished when he heard the radio chatter! Even though he had personally requested the transfer of Su Xuan from Jiangcheng Police Station and had high expectations for him, he never imagined that Su Xuan would be this efficient.

Good heavens, they had only been separated for a short while! And this young lad, Su Xuan, had managed to apprehend three criminals already!?

Was he aiming to replicate yesterday’s astounding feat when he captured thirty criminals at the station?

Since Captain Liao was stationed at the high-speed railway station, he was the closest to the duty office, making him the first to arrive. When he saw the three criminals that Su Xuan had apprehended, he was left utterly shocked.

Among these three, only one appeared to be a genuine criminal, while the other two seemed like ordinary civilians, right?

At that moment, Captain Liao briefly contemplated whether Su Xuan had made a mistake. However, this thought quickly vanished from his mind.

After all, Su Xuan was the one who had single-handedly captured so many criminals. It wouldn’t make sense for him to suddenly become inept after joining the Anti-Theft Squad. Besides, there were experienced pickpockets in the station, some of whom were skilled at disguising themselves as ordinary people. He needed to be cautious.

“Captain,” Su Xuan approached Captain Liao, who instinctively reached for his cigarettes but then decided against it, giving Su Xuan an assessing look instead.

With a slight rubbing of his fingers, Captain Liao inquired, “How did you manage to catch three criminals? We’ve only been separated for half an hour.” “You’re quite the talent,” he added.

Hearing this, Su Xuan felt a bit embarrassed and lowered his head. “It was a matter of luck, really,” he replied. “I thought you’d be overseeing things from above, so I went to check the subway station below. I was just hoping to spot any potential criminals when I noticed someone trying to steal something.”

Su Xuan continued, “Since I saw it happen, 1 couldn’t just let him go. So, I intervened with my handcuffs…”

Captain Liao listened to the young man’s storytelling-like narration, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he asked, “And then?”

“Then, on my way back, guess what? 1 saw her again, right?” Su Xuan pointed to the woman standing in the corner. “When 1 got on the elevator, I spotted her.”

Su Xuan then shrugged helplessly, and a sense of resignation seemed to manifest in the corners of his eyes. “Captain, I can’t really help it. Some of these criminals just seem to bump into me. It might be my good luck!”

He couldn’t possibly reveal anything about the system, so he passed it off as sheer luck.

Having such a lucky character was advantageous for him, with no downsides. Captain Liao had been observing Su Xuan intently while he spoke. Whether or not he believed Su Xuan’s story, he approached the bag belonging to the elderly farmer.

Just by holding it in his hands, Captain Liao’s brows furrowed.

On the other side, in the surveillance room, seeing Captain Liao’s expression, Director Zheng and Deputy Director Zhou exchanged glances.

“Old Zhou, did you see the look on Captain Liao’s face?”

“I never expected it. I guess even I can make a misjudgment sometimes.”

“This farmer is quite the unexpected character, isn’t he?”

Deputy Director Zhou chuckled upon hearing these comments. “Director, isn’t this a good thing?”

“Yes, it is indeed a good thing.”

With a hearty laugh, Director Zheng turned around and was the first to exit the surveillance room. Deputy Director Zhou followed, but not before casting one last glance at Su Xuan on the monitor.

“This Su Xuan…”

“He’s really promising!”

Their praise echoed in the room as they left.

Not long after Captain Liao arrived, several officers who had come to assist in the arrest also arrived. When they saw the three suspects for the first time, one of the officers was taken aback.

“Su Xuan, are these the three suspects you’ve apprehended?” He seemed a bit incredulous. “They don’t look like criminals at all. Are you sure you got the right people?”

In response, Su Xuan didn’t offer any arguments. Instead, he raised his hand and handed the suspects over. “To be honest, 1 arrested them in haste, and 1 haven’t conducted a search.”

“Since you’ve arrived, comrades, perhaps you could conduct a search.”

The assisting officers were puzzled, wondering, “What are you talking about?”
