“Enough of the nonsense!”
“You should know if it’s your first time or not.”
“Behave and come with me, so we don’t make a scene.”
Su Xuan said with exasperation.
Seeing the man’s anxious expression, Su Xuan didn’t move to restrain him but instead spoke with a slight smile.
“Sure, if you feel like running.”
“I’ll give you a head start of 39 meters.”
Even though this guy hadn’t been taken to the police station yet and still held the handcuffs, Su Xuan was confident that he couldn’t escape his grasp.
After hearing Su Xuan’s words, the man was momentarily tempted to take that 39-meter head start.
But he also understood.
The fact that this cop could make such an offer meant he had no intention of letting him off.
Thinking it over, this cop had already spotted him the moment he made his move. Who knows how long he had been observing?
The man instinctively scanned the crowded hall, his heart in turmoil.
They say fortune favors the bold.
No matter what, this cop was just one person. How could he outrun him?
As the man contemplated this, a wicked smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. Nevertheless, he spoke humbly, “Officer, 1 wouldn’t dare.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Why don’t we return this item first? 1 actually regret stealing it just now.”
“The old man is still looking for something.”
The man was correct.
At that moment, the old man who had been refilling the hot water realized his pocket was missing. He anxiously scoured the area around the hot water station in search of his lost bag.
After the man finished speaking, Su Xuan regarded him skeptically.
The man assumed a compliant expression.
“Don’t worry, I’ll cooperate fully.”
“I won’t try to escape, trust has to start somewhere, right?”
“With so many witnesses here, 1 don’t want my partners to see me getting caught. It would be embarrassing!”
“I promise that once 1 leave here, I’ll willingly extend my hands for you to handcuff me. How about that?”
The man rambled on and looked at Su Xuan with an eager expression.
Clearly, he was trying to appear cooperative.
Su Xuan could tell that this guy wasn’t being entirely honest, but he didn’t mind. Whether this guy was genuinely cooperating or not, as long as he dared to run, Su Xuan was confident he could catch him immediately.
With that in mind, Su Xuan didn’t insist on handcuffing the man. Instead, he held onto his hand and the bag, then walked over to the old man.
The old man was still frantically searching for his lost belongings.
When he saw Su Xuan approaching with the burlap bag, he was also taken aback.
“Sir, is this your lost item?” Su Xuan asked, and the old man eagerly nodded in agreement.
“Yes, yes, this is the item I just lost…”
“Young man, thank you so much…?”
The old man’s tone was a bit uncertain, and his gaze swept over Su Xuan a few times, somewhat suspicious of whether Su Xuan had just stolen his belongings.
After all, he had been holding onto the burlap bag all along. Even when he was pouring hot water, he had quickly placed it next to the hot water machine. How could it have ended up in the hands of this young man?
Su Xuan understood the old man’s thoughts. He took a couple of steps closer and flashed his police badge in front of the elderly gentleman, speaking earnestly.
“Sir, I’m an undercover police officer at this airport. This pickpocket stole your belongings just now.”
“Now, we have a mission, and we can’t reveal our identities.”
“Please wait for a moment and don’t make a scene.”
“Please press this item once to check if anything is missing. If everything is there, you can consider it returned.”
Su Xuan was worried that if the old man made a fuss, it would expose his identity to everyone in the hall. He didn’t want to spook the criminals. It was only his first day here, and he hoped to stay a few more days and catch more criminals.
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately nodded, and his expression turned serious.
“Don’t worry, officer, I won’t make a scene!”
“Thank you so much.”
“These are local specialties 1 brought for my daughter!”
“Thank you, thank you!”
While the old man expressed his gratitude, he quickly opened the burlap bag to check if his belongings were still there.
For him, it wasn’t about the money. It was the local specialties he had brought for his daughter that mattered most.
As the old man checked his belongings and Su Xuan leaned over, the criminal Su Xuan had detained suddenly had a change of heart. He swiftly dashed toward a nearby exit!
The old man appeared confused as the man suddenly dashed away. Su Xuan calmly nodded at the old man and immediately gave chase.
Though somewhat surprised by the man’s actions, Su Xuan stayed calm. From the start, he suspected the guy might not be trustworthy and could try to escape while they were talking to the old man. He just didn’t expect him to move so quickly.
Su Xuan couldn’t help but smirk.
He stared at the gradually receding red dot, charging into the crowd. Even in the midst of the crowd, Su Xuan swiftly spotted the criminal.
The unlucky criminal zigzagged through the crowd and burst out of the hall. He initially thought that once he was in the crowd, the plainclothes police officer wouldn’t spot him. In fact, he even arrogantly made a face back at the hall as he exited.
But before he could finish his mocking gesture, he saw Su Xuan, who had also emerged from the crowd, coldly smirking at him.
The man: ???
Instinctively, he glanced back at the place he had just rushed out of. There were at least seventy to eighty people wandering around, and even when he had entered, he was disoriented and had almost lost track of where the hall’s exit was.
How had this cop managed to pinpoint him?!
As the man saw Su Xuan charging toward him, he panicked and started running.
Su Xuan realized that the guy probably intended to escape now that he was out of the hall. Since he was no longer concealed by the crowd, he increased his speed and tackled the man to the ground.
At the same time, he retrieved a silver bracelet from his pocket and fastened it around the man’s wrist.
The man felt the cold touch and heard the clicking of the lock.
Despair overtook the fear on his face.
He was pressed to the ground with half his face against the scorching cement. He looked utterly defeated.
“You’re quite something, Officer.”
“I just dashed out of that crowd, and yet, you managed to find me.”
“Hey… let me go! At the very least, we’re still at the airport.. If you do this, how will I face people in the future?”
