Chapter 86: You Get What You Pay For, The Sin Monologue Activated!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
During the process of apprehending criminals, there was something that currently troubled Su Xuan the most.
That was, while he could use the Sin Radar to check the sin value to determine if someone was a criminal, he didn’t know exactly what kind of criminal they were.
Single-use identity items were a bit cheap, but they didn’t hold up when you needed many of them!
If one use was cheap, wasn’t it multiplied by ten for the next ten uses?
In the future, as he encountered more criminals, with tenfold or even twentyfold numbers, he couldn’t possibly go and get a one-time version of a Directional Search every time he met a criminal, could he?
With that in mind, Su Xuan’s gaze wandered over to the nearby Sin Monologue book.
A thick book of the Sin Monologue, a total of three thousand pages, and it was reasonably priced.
Just five hundred points!
“So, why is the Sin Monologue so cheap?” Su Xuan asked the system in his mind.
In his view, the Sin Monologue and the Directional Search were almost the same thing.
Why did the Directional Search cost five thousand points?
But the three-thousand-page Sin Monologue only cost five hundred points?
These two prices didn’t quite match!
[Ding, the Sin Monologue is a one-time use item, a total of three thousand pages, and it stops after use, host!]
[Furthermore, in terms of functionality, the Sin Monologue is not as accurate in its targeting as the Directional Search, 1 recommend purchasing the Directional Search, host!]
The system had a tone of a cunning salesman.
Su Xuan sneered and quickly bought the Sin Monologue.
Then he soon discovered that this Sin Monologue could actually be used in conjunction with the Sin Radar he had previously purchased. As long as it was attached to the Sin Radar, whenever he encountered a new criminal, the Sin Monologue would display the person’s identity with a matching red marker.
Huh…
It was quite useful.
Sure enough, the system was a pit, trying to rip him off. Not a chance!
When Su Xuan bought the Sin Monologue, his recently replenished wallet was emptied once again.
Previously, in order to catch two thieves, Su Xuan had purchased the trial version of the Ghostly Evasion Step. After catching five criminals, each contributing over two hundred points, Su Xuan, who had just reached over a thousand points, became a broke individual again, with only five hundred and sixty points left.
After realizing this, Su Xuan suddenly couldn’t rest anymore.
“Captain Liao, let’s continue with the mission!”
“I’ll just go back and change my clothes!”
“Let’s continue…”
Before, when he felt financially comfortable and had caught plenty of criminals in the afternoon, Su Xuan had no objection to taking a break.
But as a broke guy with less than a thousand points, what qualifications did he have to continue loafing around?
It was like getting your salary at the beginning of the month, but after paying the bills, you’re left with only five hundred and sixty in your pocket. Not even enough to last ten days.
At this moment, Captain Liao was still excited. Suddenly hearing Su Xuan’s words was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, instantly extinguishing his excitement.
“Continue what!”
“You go back and rest properly!”
“Come back tomorrow!”
“Speaking of which, you comrades who were borrowed over here can’t work long hours as we do…”
Since Captain Liao had spoken like this, what could Su Xuan do?
But…
“Alright, then we’ll take a break.”
“Can I continue working on the subway tomorrow?”
“I feel… there are still many criminals on the subway…”
Su Xuan rubbed the back of his head and said.
Hearing this, Captain Liao thought for a moment.
Originally, he had wanted Su Xuan to follow him.
But it was quite clear.
Given Su Xuan’s performance right now, he might be hindering more than helping.
“Alright!”
He immediately nodded.
“Starting tomorrow, you and Zheng Wenjie will patrol the subway.”
“Our city’s subway defense line…”
“Will be entrusted to you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Su Xuan but also Zheng Wenjie were excited.
They immediately saluted Captain Liao.
“Yes, Captain Liao!”
Su Xuan was resting in the temporary residence of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team.
The next morning, Zheng Wenjie knocked on the door with breakfast.
“Su Xuan, are you awake?”
“I brought you breakfast!”
“A piping hot noodle soup with pickled vegetables and shredded pork!”
Zheng Wenjie said excitedly.
Today, he was going to follow Su Xuan.
Yes.
As an old team member, Zheng Wenjie didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with following Su Xuan.
Based on Su Xuan’s performance yesterday, he trusted him even as a veteran member of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team.
Su Xuan opened the door directly.
He had already been up early, but he didn’t expect to find free breakfast here.
He didn’t want to miss out on free food.
“Thanks, Brother Zheng!”
Su Xuan wasn’t polite at all.
The noodles were packed separately. After taking them, he put the noodles into the soup. The aroma of pickled vegetables and shredded pork wafted into his nose. After a night of not eating, his stomach was growling.
Zheng Wenjie was also excited at the moment, taking a sip of the soup and saying.
“Su Xuan, this is the first time I’ve seen you as such an amazing police officer!”
“Let’s work hard today, and we’re just a little short of this year’s performance target!”
“Hopefully, we can catch another Thief King!”
“Haha, 1 want to shock those bunch of fools!”
Zheng Wenjie thought about how after returning yesterday, a few of his buddies started teasing him, saying that he, as an experienced police officer, was embarrassed to follow a borrowed team member like Su Xuan.
Zheng Wenjie scoffed at them.
What do these people know!
Following Su Xuan, he felt comfortable, and he had opportunities to earn achievements.
“Sure.”
“But Brother Zheng…”
Su Xuan nodded, seeming to remember something, and hesitated.
“My handcuffs seem to be not enough. You see…”
“Could you get us a few more pairs?”
“There are many criminals on the subway, and the time at each station is short. We can’t ask people to change handcuffs for us every time, right?”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wenjie also thought it made sense.
He immediately clapped his hands. “Wait, I’ll get you some handcuffs!”
Get a few more pairs.
Today, he was going to follow Su Xuan and steal the show!
For Zheng Wenjie, there was no reluctance to follow Su Xuan. In fact, he was excited about it. The more criminals Su Xuan caught, the more he would receive commendations for working alongside him.
Why be angry?
Was he an idiot?
Su Xuan, with the handcuffs, and accompanied by Zheng Wenjie, headed straight to the subway station.
The subway station on their side was a small one with low passenger traffic.
Su Xuan and Zheng Wenjie exchanged a glance and split into two groups, entering completely different train carriages.
As soon as they got on the carriage, Su Xuan heard the notification sound from the system.
[Ding! A criminal detected, please apprehend immediately!]
[Name: Hu Tong, Age: 36, Sin Value: 83, Crime: Theft!]
Seeing the prompt text on the system panel, Su Xuan finally understood why this Sin Monologue was so cheap.
Indeed, you get what you pay for.
But at least it was useful!
Su Xuan suddenly looked toward a man in a suit who was sitting and looking at his phone among the crowd.
Seeing Su Xuan suddenly looking at him, the man in the suit was clearly stunned for a moment, then immediately revealed a flustered expression on his face.
However, he quickly calmed down.
This young man in front of him wasn’t a policeman. It was strange to suddenly stare at him…
But he couldn’t panic, he couldn’t…
No, there were so many people here, why was this guy staring at him?
The criminal felt Su Xuan’s gaze and mumbled in his heart.
At this moment, Su Xuan slowly approached the man in the suit..
