“I’m done with it, go ahead,” Su Xuan said, adding a few chopped small peppers to the sauce before looking at the man.

The man knew he couldn’t convince Su Xuan that he had already seasoned his sauce. It was only natural that Su Xuan would find out. Although he felt a bit embarrassed, his desire for tasty food was stronger.

“Alright, thanks,” he replied, showing gratitude to Su Xuan before getting back to preparing his sauce.

Su Xuan didn’t linger. He walked over to the nearby area where skewers were being grilled. Since he was here, he thought it might be a good idea to grab a few skewers.

“Excuse me, how much longer for these skewers?” Su Xuan asked, looking somewhat anxious and glancing behind him.

His eyes, however, were still on the man.

“Another three minutes!” replied the skewer master, who was busy grilling. Su Xuan pondered for a moment and stood still in place.

People often looked around when they were waiting, so Su Xuan’s actions didn’t seem out of the ordinary.

The man didn’t expect Su Xuan to be so leisurely, seasoning his sauce and then wanting skewers as well. But human nature was all about enjoying good food.

The man originally didn’t have much interest in the skewers, but seeing Su Xuan waiting there, he couldn’t resist joining in. When he heard that the skewers would be ready in two to three minutes, he decided to wait as well.

Su Xuan hadn’t expected such a stroke of luck. Even though they weren’t chatting, he used this opportunity to learn the man’s location once he got his skewers. He could have relied on his radar, but this was a more explicit way.

Before leaving, Su Xuan overheard the man speaking tenderly to the woman across from him, saying, “Qianqian, these skewers were specifically for you. I remember you like these skewers.”

Su Xuan didn’t pay much attention to their affectionate display. He simply walked past them calmly.

When he returned to his spot, Zhang Chenglong was already there. Zhang seemed puzzled by Su Xuan’s late return, but when he saw the skewers in Su Xuan’s hand, he was even more surprised.

“I can’t believe you managed to get these skewers,” Zhang exclaimed. “I’ve been here countless times and never once got them. They’re usually gone as soon as they’re ready. You’re amazing!”

Zhang Chenglong handed Su Xuan a drink he had just poured. “I got this for you.”

In doing so, he noticed that something seemed off about Su Xuan. “Su Xuan, what’s wrong? Did you discover something?”

Speaking quickly, his eyes scanned their surroundings. People had come and gone while they were eating, and he hadn’t paid much attention. So it was possible that a criminal had entered his field of vision, but he hadn’t noticed.

“That couple over there,” Su Xuan replied.

Su Xuan picked up a piece of meat from the grill and, with his actions, discreetly pointed in the direction of the man for Zhang Chenglong to see.

Zhang Chenglong immediately looked in that direction but, with his eyesight, he couldn’t tell that the man was involved in online fraud.

“What’s wrong? That young couple seems pretty normal,” Zhang Chenglong commented.

“Wait a minute,” he suddenly remembered that his partner had broken up with his ex-girlfriend, which is why he had become single. His mind raced.

He instinctively bent down and lowered his voice as he spoke to Su Xuan, “Hey, Xiao Su!”

“Could that woman be your ex-girlfriend?”

Su Xuan, who had been looking serious, couldn’t help but raise his head and look at Zhang Chenglong. “No…”

What was it with his partners? Were they all like this?

Couldn’t they think more logically?

“I asked you to look at that guy,” Su Xuan reminded him. “Don’t you find him a bit suspicious?”

“His clothes and jewelry look like they’re from top brands, but if you look closely, you can tell they’re probably knockoffs.”

“This buffet isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s not expensive either.”

“He seems quite familiar with everything, so he’s probably a regular here.”

“His demeanor doesn’t match his appearance…”

“On the other hand, the woman he’s with is dressed very elegantly…”

Su Xuan carefully analyzed the situation, but before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chenglong waved his hand dismissively, paying no attention to his concerns.

“I thought you had something important to say,” Zhang Chenglong remarked. “Isn’t he just a young gigolo? There are plenty of them in our city, no need to worry, no need to worry!”

Unlike Su Xuan, Zhang Chenglong worked at the airport, and he had seen it all when it came to these matters. After all, the airport had countless passengers, and all kinds of people passed through.

Su Xuan immediately realized that Zhang Chenglong had misunderstood him. “What I meant was, he looks a lot like a wanted criminal I’ve seen before…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Chenglong, who had initially been nonchalant, suddenly froze and turned his head in disbelief to look at Su Xuan’s expressionless face.

“Hmm… 1 think I just had a bit of tinnitus, and I didn’t quite catch what you said… Could you please repeat it?” Zhang Chenglong asked nervously. “You said he looks like what?”

“A wanted criminal?” Su Xuan replied.

As Zhang Chenglong scanned the area in the direction of the man, he couldn’t find any signs that he was a wanted criminal. At this point, Zhang Chenglong was feeling tense.

“Impossible, there’s no such wanted criminal among the petty thieves,” he said. “I remember all the wanted thieves, and if this guy were one of them, I would have recognized him instantly!”

Su Xuan didn’t press the issue further, understanding that their professions were quite different, and what seemed suspicious to him might not be apparent to Zhang Chenglong.

Zhang Chenglong was a member of the anti-pickpocketing team, and he had his own unique approach to catching thieves. Unlike many of his colleagues who primarily focused on wanted notices within their own units, he rarely paid attention to other types of criminals.

If it weren’t for Su Xuan’s sin radar and the sin monologue that had identified the man’s identity and sin value, Su Xuan might not have recalled this detail either.

“It’s normal that you didn’t recognize him,” Su Xuan reassured him.

“This guy is no ordinary thief. If 1 remember correctly, he’s involved in online fraud, and someone has caught him before.”

“Looks like he must have been released recently…”

As this revelation sank in, Zhang Chenglong felt his blood boil when he glanced at the couple.

“Wait a minute, could this guy…”

“Can’t change his stripes, can he!?”

Zhang Chenglong was beginning to connect the dots and suspected that the man might have returned to his old tricks even after getting out of jail..
