Chapter 27
To be honest, with the system in his hands, capturing criminals would be a matter of minutes.
The group of people envied Zhou Qiang now, yet they didn’t know when Lady Luck might shine on them!
The patrol mechanism in the station was based on schedule, and his partners would change almost every week.
It was understandable that Su Xuan would think this way.
However, it wasn’t possible for him to share this thought with his colleagues. He could only awkwardly smile amidst their admiration.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Zhou Qiang to return with the child.
While at the hospital, he had also done a blood test and DNA sampling. Later, as long as they found the child’s family in the database, they could make a call to have them picked up.
Truthfully, even Su Xuan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this news.
After all, it was still a little dangerous for such a child to be in the police station.
Moreover, they could not possibly stay here forever to guard.
Since Zhou Qiang had done a DNA test, it meant that it was fine as long as it was a match. Any auxiliary police officer could do this.
“What did the guy who was captured say?”
Zhou Qiang hadn’t learned the subsequent details when he went to the hospital with the child. Now, he eagerly asked.
“They’ve been handed over to the Criminal Investigation Division.”
Su Xuan explained. He found an auxiliary officer and handed the child over to him, saying, “The next steps are out of our hands.”
For cases involving human traffickers like this, even if their station’s officers wanted to participate, they might not be allowed.
And especially in the context of an arrest operation, their involvement would be even less likely.
Unless the Criminal Investigation Division initiated it.
Otherwise, if they were to inadvertently disrupt the work of the division, that would be truly awkward.
A misstep could even ruin the entire operation.
Having worked at the station for so many years, Zhou Qiang naturally understood this. Hearing Su Xuan’s words, he nodded.
In fact, he had suspected that this guy was a human trafficker as soon as they caught him.
“This time, I’ve caught a lucky break following you.”
Zhou Qiang could not help but sigh.” This is a human trafficker, and it’s a gang crime. No matter what, I should at least get a second-class merit, right?”
After all, the two of them had caught this person together.
Although most of the credit was given to Su Xuan, Zhou Qiang could barely be considered as a partner.
“Naturally.”
After hearing this, Su Xuan did not get angry. This was how it was done. His merit points would not be snatched away, so there was nothing to be angry about.
“As long as these guys are caught, we will have a lot of credit.”
At that point, it wouldn’t just be about second-class credit; various bonuses would also come through.
The only question was how long they’d have to wait for that to happen.
Who didn’t know that bonuses always took their sweet time to arrive?
But once they did, they would be substantial…
Thinking about it, Su Xuan couldn’t help but recall Qin Shuyi, the one who broke up with the original host over a fake rich guy. Could it be that after dating the male lead for so many years, Qin Shuyi had no idea that the original host’s financial support mainly came from bonuses, not salary?
Seeing her attitude, she probably didn’t know.
Su Xuan shrugged. Ignorance is bliss. He really couldn’t be bothered with his seemingly brain-addled ex-girlfriend.
“Let’s go, let’s do another patrol round.”
Thinking this, Su Xuan turned to Zhou Qiang and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang froze.
He had just returned from outside not too long ago, and now they were going out again?
“Wait, why are you in such a hurry?”
“Can’t you see we have more than an hour until lunch?”
“You’re still planning to head out?”
Having earned a bonus, Zhou Qiang felt content. After all, they had caught such a significant human trafficker today; it would be enough for him to brag about for a year.
What’s wrong with resting for a while?
Can’t he go out in the afternoon?
“No can do. With my luck being this good, how can I rest?”
Su Xuan grabbed him and pulled him out, fully embracing his reputation as someone blessed by luck.
Zhou Qiang was dragged two steps forward by him and struggled to stop.
“Wait, wait…”
“At least let me have some tea…”
“I haven’t even had a sip of water since I got back!”
Is Su Xuan out of his mind? He’s so eager to leave. Could his head really have been scrambled by his luck these past two days?
“Forget the tea. I’ll treat you to bubble tea. Let’s go!”
However, Su Xuan didn’t give him a chance. He dragged him out of the hall.
Zhou Qiang sat in the driver’s seat with a bitter look on his face. He raised his hand and started the car.” I really don’t know what you’re so anxious about.”
“Even the bees in the farm are not as hardworking as you!”
After hearing Zhou Qiang’s words, Su Xuan rolled his eyes.
“Come on, are you happy about the bonus?”
With Su Xuan’s words, Zhou Qiang’s expression instantly changed.
“I’m happy, I’m happy!”
“Then hurry up and leave. What if there’s another bonus?”
“Hurry up!”
Su Xuan was now in a rush to make money.
It wasn’t just money; he also wanted to accumulate points to buy that intermediate potion, elevating his weak physique!
Although Zhou Qiang didn’t believe Su Xuan’s words, he had to admit that he was getting into the spirit of it.
“Let’s go and take a selfie at the seaside.”
They had previously planned to do this but got sidetracked by the human trafficker.
To this suggestion, Su Xuan had no objections.
Soon, they arrived at the camera by the seaside. They activated the intercom, posed in front of the camera, and then resumed their foot patrol along the shore.
This idea, of course, came from Su Xuan.
Though their town, Jiangcheng, was small, it was located near a first-tier city. A small sea trench connected the bay of the big city to the southeastern part of Jiangcheng.
During holidays, there were often pedestrians and tourists playing by the seaside.
Seeing the crowd, Su Xuan immediately activated his radar for sinners.
Although the radar’s range was limited, as they moved through the crowd, anyone passing by them was scanned by Su Xuan.
“You know, with so many people here every day, I don’t understand what the appeal is.”
“It’s just a small sea trench. What’s there to enjoy?”
“Every day we have to patrol this place. In my opinion, it’s better to just put up a fence…”
Foot patrolling was boring, even for a seasoned driver like Zhou Qiang. Unable to withstand the loneliness, he chatted incessantly along the way.
Su Xuan, on the other hand, multitasked.
He dealt with Zhou Qiang while relentlessly searching for crowds with high sin values.
Unfortunately, as he walked along, all he saw were green dots…
Hold on!
Why are there three distinct red dots among the crowd over there?
Su Xuan halted his steps, squinting at the three red dots in the sea of green not far away.
Zhou Qiang, oblivious to what was happening, took a few steps before realizing Su Xuan wasn’t following. He turned back, “Su Xuan, what are you doing?”
“Old Zhou, look at those three…”
Su Xuan didn’t speak but nodded toward the crowd over there. “Is there something fishy?”
Hearing this, Zhou Qiang looked at the crowd with a puzzled expression, and he happened to see one young man extracting a wallet from the pocket of the man next to him. The wallet quickly disappeared into the young man’s own pocket.
Zhou Qiang: …Seriously?
Right in front of them, and he dared to steal and pilfer.
Did they not notice the police uniforms they were wearing?
