Chapter 30
Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words and looking at the two thieves before them, the group of police officers were dumbfounded.
“Damn, seriously?”
“You actually caught two more thieves?”
“Your luck recently is seriously god-like… Catching one every time you go out…”
“Could it be that you’re unlucky in love but lucky in your career?”
“Oh my god…”
“Should I go get my heart broken too?”
“Snap out of it! You don’t even have a girlfriend; how can you experience heartbreak?”
“That’s true… Wow! Su Xuan, do you still have this luck tomorrow? Can you partner with me tomorrow?”
“I should switch with Zhou Qiang… I want this lucky streak too!”
A crowd of people surrounded Su Xuan and the others, loudly shouting their opinions.
Zhou Qiang became displeased. Wait, what did these guys mean?
He was the one who caught one of these thieves. Finally, he had some confidence!
“Hey, what do you guys mean? These thieves were quite a handful to catch.”
“But it’s true that Su Xuan found them. Brother, your luck is really something today!”
Just this morning, he had caught three criminals, and one of them was a human trafficker!
Then he turned around and caught two thieves…
He would wake up from dreams laughing!
“Alright, let’s not dwell on this.”
Su Xuan was nearly bursting out laughing from their praises. Of course, he couldn’t reveal that he had a system. He silently acknowledged his good luck.
“These two thieves are in your hands.”
“I’m planning to mooch off a meal.”
Su Xuan hooked his arm around Zhou Qiang’s neck, pulling him along. “Hey, Zhou, is it too much to ask for a three-course meal today?”
“Not at all, not at all!”
Zhou Qiang laughed heartily. “Don’t just think about today, you can eat for a whole month!”
He had the three criminals he caught today to thank for treating Su Xuan to a meal!
The crucial point was achieving those performance points!
Watching the two of them head to the cafeteria, the remaining police officers exchanged glances, envy almost turning tangible.
“Damn it!”
One of the officers rolled his eyes irritably. “I just can’t stand Zhou Qiang’s smugness!”
“Let’s make him treat us tonight?”
As his words sank in, the other officers realized the plan and nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, if he doesn’t treat us, we won’t let it slide!”
“He’s had all this damn luck, it’s not fair.”
“I’m definitely switching shifts with Zhou Qiang tomorrow.”
“I want to mooch off this incredible luck too!”
“Ha, don’t even think about it! I’ve already switched shifts ahead of you!” One of them boasted and was immediately besieged.
“Damn, when did you do that?”
“You’re so sneaky!!”
…
By lunchtime, the merit points had been credited to their accounts.
Due to the nature of minor offenders, the merit points were relatively low, but Su Xuan was content.
The amount of points didn’t matter much; they would accumulate over time.
After lunch, Su Xuan found himself right back in the interrogation room.
This was because the thief wouldn’t open his mouth without Su Xuan present.
Their hope was that if the police lacked evidence, they wouldn’t keep them detained for too long. Maybe they could still escape.
Hearing this, Su Xuan was on the verge of frustration.
Seems like everyone he caught today needed to be interrogated, whether it was the human trafficker or these two thieves…
Realizing the gravity of the situation, he knew that he couldn’t handle it alone. Yet, could he not handle these two thieves?
He had already caught them stealing; these guys thought they could still be released? Dream on!
“Think carefully, both of you.”
“When you were stealing, I had my body camera recording the entire process,” Su Xuan coldly stated, then tapped the table. “Tell me, are there any other accomplices?”
“If you’re unwilling to speak, when we find out, you won’t have a chance.”
At this point, the two thieves exchanged glances, but neither spoke.
After all, they still held onto a glimmer of hope.
As long as the police lacked concrete evidence, they couldn’t keep them detained for too long. They could probably escape, right?
Su Xuan was well aware of their thoughts.
It was precisely because he knew that he was even angrier, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this was the situation in the country. I
Without solid evidence, they couldn’t keep these people detained for too long.
In the end, it was likely they would be released, as long as there was no evidence.
But…
That was under the circumstances where there was no evidence.
“But you probably don’t know, you might not be able to leave.”
Su Xuan’s voice turned icy. “I mentioned that my body camera recorded the entire process of you stealing.”
“Even if I can’t catch your accomplices, neither of you will get out.”
After hearing this, the two thieves finally panicked.
They were genuinely panicking, their butts moist from anxiety.
Are you kidding?
Their previous thoughts were based on the assumption that they still had a chance to escape. But now that there was no chance…
Who wouldn’t be thrilled in this situation?
Their initial actions were just casual stealing by the seaside, as they believed they couldn’t be caught by so many people. Now, the fact that they were apprehended by the police…
And that their thieving process had been recorded.
All the evidence of their crime was in police hands!
Now they might have to spend some time in prison and won’t be able to escape…
Thinking this, the two criminals wore worried expressions, unable to find any happiness in their situation.
Especially when considering they’d have to eat prison food and their companions who managed to escape would be living freely outside, they felt even more aggrieved.
After seeing that the two criminals were a little shaken, Su Xuan gave the interrogators a look.
The latter used reason to convince the two thieves to backstab their companions.
“If that’s what you think, you can only go in anyway.”
“However, if you are willing to tell us the location of your hideout, it is equivalent to performing meritorious deeds.”
“When the time comes, we will also consider the matter between the two of you.”
“Come on!”
“Tell us, how many people are there in your gang?”
As the interrogator spoke, the two criminals, who had previously kept their mouths tightly shut, raised their heads. One of them, slightly braver, even dared to confirm with them again.
“Officers, this is what you said.”
“If we reveal our accomplice’s involvement, you’ll surely consider our situation, right?”
“Then, at that time…”
“Could we possibly spend fewer days in jail?”
Well, well!
This guy actually had the audacity to negotiate. Su Xuan and the interrogator exchanged a glance, then coughed softly. “That will depend on the value of the items you stole. However, if you’ve stolen relatively minor things and have also helped us, we might consider reducing your sentence.”
Upon hearing this, the thief who had just asked immediately took a deep breath.
His mind was made up.
“Alright, officer…”
“I’ll talk…”
