While waiting for his colleagues to arrive to take custody of the criminals, Su Xuan didn’t budge from his spot. Me sat there, engrossed in his phone.
The two criminals on either side of him remained silent initially. However, as they watched Su Xuan engrossed in his phone, the younger of the two began to lose his composure.
He turned to his accomplice and started hurling insults.
“If it weren’t for you insisting that I try one last time, we wouldn’t have been caught.”
“It’s all your fault.”
“Why am I so unlucky to have you as a partner?”
“I don’t want to get caught…”
The young criminal’s voice cracked as he spoke. “I’m so young! What will I do if I get caught?”
His words left him in tears. This outburst prompted the other criminal, seated on the opposite side of Su Xuan, to lose his composure as well.
“Hey, you little brat!”
“When I suggested one last attempt earlier, you didn’t refuse. Now you want to blame me?”
“Aren’t I getting caught with you right now?”
“Damn it! I should’ve come find you earlier…”
The criminal spoke and instinctively touched his knee.
He winced…
The undercover officer had used excessive force earlier!
While the two were engrossed in their conversation, Su Xuan continued to focus on his phone, seemingly unfazed by their exchange.
The man, who had been contemplating escape, seized an opportunity and suddenly sprang to his feet, ready to strike his accomplice. The young criminal was taken aback; both of them had been caught, and this guy dared to act out?
However, the man’s movement was merely a feint. Seeing that Su Xuan didn’t react to their actions, the man’s eyes darted around. He made a swift dash towards freedom!
Freedom!
He was making a run for it!
Bang!
However, before he could even make it a few steps, Su Xuan’s deft move tripped him up again. He fell to the ground, propped up on his elbows, visibly dazed.
“Why are you so careless?” Su Xuan asked, sounding remarkably friendly as he stood up and casually tucked his phone back into his pocket. He extended a hand to help the man up, feigning complete ignorance of why he had fallen.
Then, he gently pressed the man back into his seat, all while the onlookers observed. With a wry smile, he patted the criminal on the shoulder.
Despite the seemingly gentle actions, his words carried a veiled threat.
“Daring to run again?”
“You, little criminal, have some nerve!”
“It looks like you need a taste of your own medicine.”
The criminal, caught once again by Su Xuan, was now truly frightened. He immediately began shaking his head vigorously.
Having been captured by Su Xuan twice in a row, he was genuinely terrified this time.
With an expression of utmost timidity, he stammered, “Officer, I’m sorry, I know I messed up!”
“Me too, I lost my way for a moment…”
“Please, have mercy. 1 absolutely didn’t intend to run…”
“Officer, I admit my mistake, I really know I was completely wrong!”
Seeing that even his pleas for mercy didn’t move Su Xuan, the thief began to cry in earnest this time.
The young man who had been arguing with the thief on the side now kept his mouth shut, afraid to say a word. He couldn’t believe that his accomplice was so shameless! While they were arguing, he had been plotting to escape. But what if this guy had really managed to run away? What would he do then? The thought of the possible consequences filled the young man’s eyes with anger.
Su Xuan paid no attention to the reactions of these two individuals. All he cared about was ensuring that the criminal wouldn’t escape.
However, there was still a hint of anger simmering inside him.
Damn it!
It was the first time a criminal had escaped from his grasp twice, even if he had managed to recapture them both times. He couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Luckily, at that moment, the team members who had been stationed nearby approached. The leader was the deputy team leader.
Seeing the two men beside Su Xuan, the deputy team leader immediately surmised that they were the criminals that Quian had captured this time. He quickly instructed his subordinates to take them into custody.
Su Xuan had already intended for them to be taken away by his colleagues, so he didn’t say much. However, when he saw the fellow officers about to take away the crying criminal, he issued a warning.
“This criminal managed to escape from my custody twice just now,” he said. “You need to be extra vigilant while guarding him. We can’t afford to let him escape.”
Hearing this, the two officers who had been somewhat lax earlier tightened their grip on the criminal’s arms and their expressions turned serious.
“All right, Su Xuan, you can count on us,” one of them assured. “We’ll keep a close watch on him.”
The criminal and the young man both felt tears welling up as they were forcibly taken away under heightened security.
The young man’s resentment towards his accomplice deepened in his heart. Damn it, if this guy hadn’t escaped twice in a row, the officer would never have said that!
Just thinking about it made him want to cry…
After the officers had taken the two criminals away, Su Xuan looked at the deputy team leader who was still standing there with a puzzled expression.
The deputy team leader, Feng Na, waved his hand casually. “Let those kids go first. I want to see how you catch thieves, Su Xuan.”
“Su Xuan, I’ll back you up in a bit,” he continued. “You don’t mind, do you?”
Su Xuan thought to himself, “You’ve already talked about it, how can I mind?”
Everyone else was fine with it, but he was the deputy team leader after all!
“I don’t mind,” Su Xuan shook his head. “Then I’ll appreciate your cooperation later, Deputy Team Leader.”
“No problem at all!” Feng Na nodded immediately. “Just call me Brother Feng!”
With that settled, Su Xuan embarked on a new round of patrols. The criminals they had just captured didn’t have very high criminal values, they were just small fry to him.
For Su Xuan, it was like picking crumbs from his teeth!
He could only sigh as he looked at his points on the upgraded Sin radar. He had high hopes for this airport trip, hoping to catch a hundred or so criminals. Su Xuan walked with determination, his pockets feeling rather empty.
As Su Xuan and Feng Na walked along the path together, the latter would occasionally glance at the people around them. Su Xuan, on the other hand, walked with his head held high and a straight posture, never pausing for long.
This action puzzled Feng Na. If Su Xuan hadn’t really caught so many criminals, he would have thought this guy was just slacking off…
“Su Xuan, don’t you even look to see if there are any criminals in this crowd?” Feng Na asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice. “I get the feeling you’re not observing at all. Aren’t you even a bit suspicious that there might be some pickpockets or thieves on the route we’re passing through?”
He had initially wanted to observe how Su Xuan operated in the field, but he realized that this guy hadn’t moved a muscle. Feng Na was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable.
As Su Xuan walked past another group of people, he couldn’t help but speak up, “Su Xuan, don’t you think you should be checking the crowd for potential criminals?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan halted in his tracks and glanced at Feng Na. He knew that Feng Na was a deputy team leader, and he couldn’t just brush him off.
With that in mind, Su Xuan contemplated for a moment and then tapped into the system in his mind.
“Hey, System,” he said, “tell me, how do I fool the deputy team leader?”
The system responded with a pause, as if contemplating the question.
“Host, don’t you realize that some things need to be handled on your own? Relying on the system won’t work for everything.”
Su Xuan sighed inwardly. It seemed like he had to figure this one out himself..
