Feeling the weight on her wrist, the woman’s expression froze.
“Officer, what are you doing?”
She looked at Su Xuan with puzzlement but was feeling increasingly anxious. This young man was a cop! Could he have discovered her secret?
Recalling how Su Xuan had brought her into the elevator without showing any signs of knowing, her current demeanor seemed odd.
Anxiety gripped the woman as she saw Su Xuan making no move to remove the handcuff from her wrist.
“Officer, I’m the one who got robbed! Why are you handcuffing me?”
“Why… why are you doing this?”
As the woman spoke, the other passengers inside the elevator also became bewildered. Their gazes shifted between Su Xuan and the woman, not understanding why the apparent victim had been handcuffed.
Su Xuan gave her a fleeting glance, his expression turning slightly cold.
“You’re the victim, that’s correct.”
“But you know what you’ve done. You don’t want me to announce it here in front of everyone, do you?”
“Don’t make a scene; it won’t look good. It’s better for both of us to go to the police station now.”
Hearing his words, the woman, who had been struggling, suddenly stopped. Her face displayed a hint of stiffness.
The undercover cop had spoken, and it seemed he had some knowledge of her actions. Moreover, they were still inside the elevator, and she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.
Observing her compliance, Su Xuan returned the stack of red banknotes to the woman’s bag and reached out to pull both her and the thief to their feet.
The surrounding passengers, witnessing this scene, understood that this incident had reached a temporary conclusion.
“Wow, can’t believe we’re seeing this drama so early in the morning!”
“The story’s got more twists than a TV show!”
“Haha! The person who got robbed is also a crook… I’ve never read anything like this.”
“Thank goodness for the sharp-eyed cop, or that crook would’ve gotten away.”
“Darn it, my bag got a hole too!” Someone complained. “I had toilet paper in there! What kind of thief doesn’t leave you with toilet paper…”
The passengers, initially anxious about the theft, burst into laughter. A young girl even offered tissues from her bag.
“Don’t worry, ma’am!”
“I’ve got tissues, please take some.”
“Oh, thank you, dear. I really appreciate it…” The middle-aged lady hesitated but accepted the tissues from the girl.
As this happened, the elevator reached its floor.
Without hesitation, Su Xuan pulled the beggar and the woman out of the elevator, positioning himself to shield the view of the handcuffs. He was figuring out how to proceed.
“Su Xuan, did you nab a couple of thieves again?” A familiar voice called out.
Su Xuan looked up and saw Zhou Qiang approaching.
Seeing Zhou Qiang, Su Xuan was puzzled. “What are you doing here?”
“Just a coincidence. I’m here to pick someone up today, and it’s my day off.”
Zhou Qiang patted Su Xuan’s shoulder. “You seem to be having fun in the
Anti-Pickpocket Team.”
“Our colleagues at the station are really suffering. I’ve had only one day off in so long.”
“Old Mai is driving us crazy, expecting us to perform like you!”
Zhou Qiang sighed at the thought.
Hearing this, Su Xuan could imagine the scene and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, “Did you find the person you were picking up?”
“Yeah, found them. I was just on my way back. When I saw you, I thought I’d come over and say hello.”
Zhou Qiang glanced at the two criminals behind Su Xuan. After all, they had partnered together before, and he understood the situation.
“Do you want me to help you take these two back?”
“I happen to be passing by the city center later, so I can drop by the
Anti-Pickpocket Team.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Su Xuan nodded. “Thank you for that.”
“Hey, why be so formal?” Zhou Qiang gestured to a man who had been watching from a distance and walked over.
“This is Zhao Yi from the Hang City station. He’s here to assist us.”
“Zhao Officer, this is Su Xuan from our group. He’s currently working with the Anti-Pickpocket Team.”
With Zhou Qiang’s introduction, the two men exchanged greetings.
“Hello, Officer Zhao.”
Su Xuan reached out his hand, and Zhao Yi shook it eagerly.
“You’re Officer Su, right? You’re the one who nabbed the thief Icing in Hang City, aren’t you?”
Zhao Yi remarked, “That thief king had been causing havoc in Hang City for so many years, but we never managed to catch him.”
“He had gone quiet recently. We thought he was just in hiding, but we had no idea he had come all the way here…”
“And you managed to apprehend him!”
“Sergeant Su, we’re really grateful to you!”
Zhao Yi expressed his excitement, and Su Xuan understood why he was so thrilled.
It seemed that Zhao Officer had come here to take the thief king into custody.
Coincidentally, they had encountered him at the airport.
“We’re all here to serve the people.”
Su Xuan modestly smiled and then turned to Zhou Qiang. “So, can you help me hand over these two criminals to Captain Liao?”
“And please inform Captain Liao that everything should proceed as usual from here.”
When Su Xuan used to catch criminals in the subway, there was usually someone waiting at each station. Whenever he caught a criminal, he could hand them over to his colleagues.
But now they were at the airport, and it was a vast place. Catching criminals here wasn’t as straightforward. That’s why Captain Liao hadn’t dispatched anyone immediately.
However, Su Xuan’s ability to catch thieves was evidently still strong.
Su Xuan had asked Zhou Qiang to deliver a message to Captain Liao, urging him to send assistance promptly.
They only needed a car to come over and pick up the criminals.
“Okay, I understand!”
Though Zhou Qiang didn’t fully grasp the meaning behind Su Xuan’s words, he thought it was a minor matter.
He promptly agreed and escorted the two criminals away.
“Who would have thought? Officer Su isn’t just skilled at catching thieves; he also seems to have a strong sense of justice.”
Su Xuan stayed where he was, and he could even hear Officer Zhao’s voice as they moved further away.
Following that, Zhou Qiang’s laughter rang out, “Right! We’ve got quite the team…”
As Su Xuan watched Zhou Qiang leave, he turned his attention once again to another red dot on the radar.
Setting aside everything else, just considering the number of criminals in the airport…
Su Xuan felt that this mission was definitely worthwhile!
