“How should 1 put it…”
“Deputy Team Leader, you may not know this!”
“Ever since I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, I’ve had this inexplicable intuition.”
“As long as there’s a criminal passing in front of me, my forehead starts throbbing.”
“It’s like some kind of gift, maybe…”
Su Xuan pondered for a moment and decided to make up something plausible. “Perhaps it’s a gift from the heavens, sympathizing with my unfortunate situation?”
He could only resort to this explanation. He certainly couldn’t tell the deputy team leader that he had a system that not only helped him catch criminals but could also instantly tell him what crimes they had committed just by looking at them. That would probably raise more questions than answers.
Hearing Su Xuan’s words, Feng Na seemed contemplative. He had seen his fair share of exceptional individuals in the police force over the years. While Su Xuan’s intuition was far-fetched, he also understood that pressing further wouldn’t do him any good.
Rather than believing in some supernatural gift, Feng Na preferred to think that Su Xuan had awakened a keen investigative ability after breaking up with his girlfriend. Perhaps this heightened intuition had always existed in him, but he had been too preoccupied with his love life to notice it. It was like the old saying: when love is lost, all that’s left is to focus on one’s career.
Yes, that had to be it!
Otherwise, Feng Na couldn’t explain why Su Xuan had suddenly become so skilled. However, as he thought about it, he couldn’t help shaking his head. What a pity!
Why couldn’t Su Xuan be part of their team? Even if he were just temporarily reassigned, it would be great!
At this moment, Feng Na finally felt the same frustration that Captain Liao had experienced when he couldn’t convince Su Xuan to join their team. He couldn’t help but regret.
What a loss!
However, now that he understood Su Xuan’s abilities, Feng Na was no longer as anxious as before. He walked alongside Su Xuan as they moved through the spacious lobby.
Despite Su Xuan’s intuitive abilities, Feng Na still preferred to rely on his own judgment. Whenever they passed by people, he would scan the crowd with his gaze. However, it was clear that he hadn’t spotted a single suspect.
Just then, he noticed that Su Xuan’s steps couldn’t seem to stop. Confused, Feng Na furrowed his brow and looked in Su Xuan’s direction. He saw that Su Xuan was staring fixedly at the direction of the restroom, and this puzzled him.
“Su Xuan?”
Just as he was about to inquire about the situation, he heard Su Xuan speak up.
“Feng Bro, 1 think 1 saw a suspicious-looking person enter the restroom.”
“Should we go and take a look?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Na was taken aback. He immediately pushed aside the disappointment of not having seen any criminals for most of the day and focused his sharp gaze toward the restroom.
Since Su Xuan had said so, he trusted in Su Xuan’s abilities.
“Do you really feel that the suspicious-looking person is a criminal?” he asked, just to be sure.
“I’m not entirely sure,” Su Xuan replied, shaking his head. In reality, his attention was already locked onto the Sin radar, and the red dot on it confirmed that there was indeed a criminal in the restroom. However, he didn’t want to be too assertive in his words.
“I just have a feeling that the person looks a bit suspicious,” Su Xuan said. “As for whether they really are… we’ll find out when we check.”
With these words, Feng Na nodded thoughtfully. “Alright, since you put it that way…”
“We’ll go and take a look!”
“Just to see how accurate your intuition really is!”
“Let’s go…”
As they spoke, the two of them headed towards the restroom.
While Feng Na was feeling a mixture of belief and doubt, Su Xuan remained calm. As he walked forward, his system once again signaled him with the sound indicating a criminal to apprehend.
No need for hesitation this time; this person was definitely a criminal!
Within the range of his Sin radar control, the individual had entered the restroom and appeared to be squatting in one spot. Probably using the restroom.
Su Xuan wasn’t worried about the person making a sudden escape. There was only one entrance and exit to the restroom. Even if they did come out, they would be caught by the two of them.
No way to escape.
However, what surprised Su Xuan was that the criminal’s sinl value wasn’t very high. If fifty was a benchmark, this person had an evil value of just over twenty. Probably a rookie criminal…
Whether they were a major criminal or a minor one, Su Xuan didn’t discriminate; he would catch them all and earn those points! As the saying goes, “Every little bit counts,” and as long as he caught criminals, he had nothing to worry about when it came to accumulating points.
The two of them quickly arrived at the restroom’s entrance. Since it was a restroom within the bustling hall, the comings and goings of people drew little attention, even when Su Xuan and Feng Na arrived.
However, they paused at the restroom entrance. Feng Na furrowed his brows, found a tap to wash his hands, and then quickly spoke to Su Xuan.
“Su Xuan, we aren’t sure if the person inside is standing or squatting in the restroom. Going in recklessly might raise suspicions. What do you think about waiting outside for a bit?”
To be honest, Su Xuan didn’t want to apprehend a criminal inside the restroom either. Upon hearing Feng Na’s suggestion, he readily agreed.
“Sure, let’s go with that.”
“We’ll wait a bit…”
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long. Just as Su Xuan finished drying his hands on the hand dryer, the criminal came out of the restroom, holding up his pants. His expression was relaxed, and he even patted his bulging pockets with a hint of self-satisfaction.
Seeing the criminal’s demeanor, Su Xuan and Feng Na exchanged a glance.
There was no need for further investigation. That bulging pocket probably held his stolen loot!
Su Xuan exchanged glances with Feng Na and then charged forward. He intercepted the criminal, who was about to leave the restroom. At first, the criminal thought Su Xuan wanted to enter, so he stepped back to make way.
While doing so, he discreetly assessed Su Xuan’s appearance, trying to figure out if this person looked like an easy target. Little did he know that as he stepped back, Su Xuan extended his arm and pushed him back into the restroom.
“What’s this about?” The criminal was bewildered.
He was a man in his late twenties, and he looked at Su Xuan with a puzzled expression. “If you need to use the restroom, you don’t have to push me inside.” “Do you think 1 can help you use the restroom?” Su Xuan responded, and Feng Na, who had followed them, almost burst into laughter.
Su Xuan had a serious expression as he shoved the man into one of the restroom stalls. The other passengers in the restroom gave them disapproving looks and quickly left without using the facilities.
The criminal was stunned. “Wait a minute… what are you doing?”
“I don’t have that kind of preference!” He assumed Su Xuan had ulterior motives. His tone revealed nervousness.
Su Xuan rolled his eyes and casually pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket.
“Come on!”
“Do you want to put them on yourself, or should 1 help you with that?”
The criminal:….
