Not wanting to add another arrest charge to his record, Zhou Xiaopao obediently allowed Su Xuan to handcuff his other hand.
Zheng Wenjie, who stood in front of Zhou Xiaopao, had a strange expression on his face, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
No, he strongly suspected that all the criminal records he had received before were fake. How come those criminals weren’t this obedient in front of him?
But this criminal was truly unlucky. Out of all the places he could have sat, he chose this subway car, and it just so happened that he sat across from Su Xuan, the thief-catching expert.
It was truly unfortunate. If they didn’t catch him, who would they catch?
The actions of Su Xuan and the others left the passengers in the subway car in shock.
During this time, Su Xuan had Zheng Wenjie watch the criminal in the car, while he walked to the front of the car.
Although he had already made a round earlier, new passengers had boarded since then, and just like in the first car, there might be new criminals among them.
Su Xuan walked back and forth for the next four or five stations. By the time he returned with another criminal in tow, Zheng Wenjie grabbed his hand with a bitter expression.
“Alright, alright, bro, we really can’t handle any more! You’ve been back and forth four or five times!”
Su Xuan glanced at the six criminals squatting in the corner, then looked at the one he was still holding in his hand.
Exactly seven in total! It was like a string of Seven Little Dwarfs!
After thinking for a moment, Su Xuan realized that handling this many criminals would be exhausting for the two of them. Moreover, when he left, there would only be Zheng Wenjie left in the subway car.
“How about…”
“Let’s notify our colleagues at the next station and have them take over?” Su Xuan hesitated to suggest.
Zheng Wenjie thought for a moment. “We’re almost at the terminal station.
How about we let our comrades at the terminal station help us out?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan considered that it might be a viable option. It would also give them a chance to take a break.
“To all comrades at the terminal station, please be aware that we’re arriving at the terminal station on Line 1, Huang Station. Please come to the platform to assist…”
Once again, Su Xuan’s voice came through the walkie-talkie, this time with a message requesting assistance.
The Anti-Pickpocketing Team members who could hear this communication couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their mouths, their faces showing momentary numbness.
“This Su Xuan, he caught another criminal?”
“It’s only morning!”
“Yesterday and today, how many has he caught?”
“Damn, this guy catches thieves so quickly… I can’t help but admire and respect him!”
“Impressive, this guy is really wasted in the regular police force; he should join our Anti-Pickpocketing Team.”
“Get out of here. If he really came to our Anti-Pickpocketing Team, you can forget about sleeping…”
“Oh, are you afraid of being outperformed by your juniors?”
“Nonsense! With Su Xuan catching so many criminals these past few days, I can’t be happier! Don’t slander me…”
The voice coming through the walkie-talkie left Su Xuan speechless for a moment. Soon after, he put down the walkie-talkie and took a seat. After making so many trips, he was genuinely tired.
While resting, he decided to check the system. Judging by the seven additional people he had just caught, his points had finally surpassed the one-thousand mark. However, looking at his meager 1376 points, Su Xuan’s mouth twitched. Doubling the points was indeed satisfying, but it was clear that petty theft wouldn’t accumulate many points. No, he had to work hard during this major operation!
On the other hand, Captain Liao of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team was so excited that his eyes seemed ready to materialize. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie.
“Very good. Attention to comrades at the terminal station, cooperate with Su Xuan’s operation!”
After delivering the message, he didn’t wait for a response from the other side of the walkie-talkie. Instead, he took out his phone, found a number in his contacts, and dialed it directly.
“Hello, Old Mai? Hey, it’s me!”
“Hey, hold on, don’t hang up! Let me tell you… this morning, Su Xuan caught so many criminals that you wouldn’t believe it. I’m not kidding; he’s caught enough in the last two days to fulfill a month’s quota for our
Anti-Pickpocketing Team!”
“Not only that, he even apprehended the ‘Five Bests of Ning City’!”
“It was too late to tell you yesterday, but just think about it: these five individuals are people even Ning City itself couldn’t catch. Yet, Su Xuan managed to apprehend them so easily…”
“Do you think this guy is exceptionally suited for the Anti-Pickpocketing Team?”
“The reason 1 called you this time is to ask if you could let him go?”
As soon as Captain Liao finished speaking, the person on the other end said something, and his expression twisted for a moment before he quickly responded.
“Hey, hey, hey! Don’t curse at me. I’m just asking because I think highly of your team. People from your team have come to me before, and this isn’t the first time. Su Xuan really seems to fit well with our team.”
“Hey! Mai, Mai…?”
“Hey… Why did you hang up? You’re so impatient!”
On this side, Captain Liao felt that Old Mai’s response was inadequate.
On the other end, at the Jiangcheng Police Station.
Old Mai stood by the window, took a drag from his cigarette, inhaled deeply, and then shouted into the phone with all his might.
“Damn it! All you can spew from that dog mouth of yours is nonsense!”
“Trying to poach my people? Let me tell you, it’s impossible in this lifetime!”
“I’ve already lent Su Xuan to you, and that’s like you winning the lottery. Don’t think about nonsense!”
“Damn it… talking about ‘letting go’? Spare me your crap!”
“You want to snatch someone from me again, and you know damn well it’s not the first time. You’ve taken one already, and now you want to take a second one, right!!”
“Let me tell you! Su Xuan, I won’t give him to you. Not in this lifetime!”
Old Mai’s fiery outburst echoed through the entire building, and even the officers on duty at the entrance hall, separated by a floor, could clearly hear every word.
“Ouch! Is he at it again with Captain Liao?”
“Ever since Su Xuan was loaned out, those two have been arguing every day.”
“Now, I won’t say anything else, but if you hear any noise coming from Old Mai’s office, you don’t need to say more; it’s definitely related to Captain Liao!”
“Oh my, there’s no help for it. Who would have thought he’d actually try to poach Su Xuan from us? It’s a joke! If Su Xuan were to be poached, our year-end performance would go down the drain again.”
“That’s right! We finally got such a… can’t let someone take him away! Old Mai scoldswell!”
“Is that even a question? Did you hear how harshly they’re arguing in the office? I think Old Mai won’t need to have lunch today; he might be too full of anger…”
“If Captain Liao dares to try and take our precious asset away, I believe Old Mai would storm the city bureau on the same day!”
“Hahaha, who’s to say he won’t…”
A group of officers burst into laughter, and on the other side, Old Mai, who had hung up the phone in anger, emerged from his office to see the officers chatting and laughing.
He immediately glared at them.
“Laugh laugh laugh! What are you all laughing at?”
“With this free time, why don’t you hurry up and go patrol!”
Everyone:…?
Am I the clown here?!
