Chapter 70: Three Criminals in One Day, Are You Bragging??
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Someone, please help me! This guy is trying to assault me, molesting women!”
“Let go of me…”
The woman shouted for help several times and, seeing that the people around them were only watching without taking any action, she burst into tears.
However, even in this situation, the few passengers who were now looking at Su Xuan and the others exchanged glances with each other, and none of them dared to make a move.
Not to mention physically intervening, they were even hesitant to speak up on her behalf.
At this moment, even the passengers inside the elevator were filled with doubt about Su Xuan’s identity. Although the woman’s words implied that this young man seemed a bit off and might have peculiar preferences, who could say for sure? Those were handcuffs after all!
Although there were counterfeit handcuffs out there, the only ones who could openly use handcuffs like this, aside from the police, were… who else could it be?
Could it really be as the woman claimed, that this young man had peculiar preferences? If so, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to use handcuffs in public. Perhaps this woman had some ulterior motive!
Therefore, at this moment, no one made a move.
Seeing this scene, the woman cried even louder, loudly berating this group of people for not knowing how to respect women. Su Xuan’s head was filled with her loud voice.
Finally, losing patience, he yanked the woman’s other hand and cuffed it as well. At the same time, he gave a cold snort and said, “Shut up! If you shout again, 1’11 arrest you! What you did, you know in your heart. I’m from the Anti-Pickpocketing Team!”
As soon as Su Xuan uttered these two sentences, the woman, who had initially wanted to say something, suddenly closed her mouth, and her facial expression crumbled. Who wouldn’t know the reputation of the
Anti-Pickpocketing Team here? If she hadn’t been caught, it would have been fine, but once caught, there was probably no escape…
Although she knew there were Anti-Pickpocketing Team members searching at the high-speed railway station, she thought her appearance was so ordinary that she had never worried about getting caught…
However, today she had made a blunder! The woman was still somewhat confused: she hadn’t done anything in the elevator just now, so how had this young police officer figured out she was a thief? In the past, even if
Anti-Pickpocketing Team members walked past her, she could calmly take out their police badges or handcuffs and play with them! Then, when she got bored, she would sneakily return them to the Anti-Pickpocketing Team members without them noticing…
She had operated in this high-speed railway station for many years and had never been caught before! Now, she had been apprehended by such a young guy, just thinking about it was unbearable!
Su Xuan didn’t care whether she could bear it or not. He casually pulled all three criminals together and then smiled apologetically at the passengers. “Ladies and gentlemen, police work, sorry for the disturbance.”
Upon hearing this, the passengers inside the elevator finally understood what was happening. They looked at the three criminals held by Su Xuan and then at the woman who had spoken earlier, and immediately indignation surged within them.
“Tsk tsk, looking at this woman’s innocent appearance, I really thought she was a big sister from the countryside. It turns out it was a big disaster!”
“She even had the audacity to mislead us just now. If we had really taken action, wouldn’t we have become attackers on the police?”
“Not only that! There’s also the charge of obstructing official duties!”
“Sigh… She looks so gentle and quiet on the surface, but who would have thought her heart was so malicious!”
“She hides her intentions so deeply. She’s a thief who not only got caught but also wanted to harm us before that… What audacity!”
“Officer, you’re amazing, eliminating harm for the people!”
“My poor heart, luckily I didn’t take any action. This person is truly harmful to others and herself…”
A group of passengers couldn’t help but comment. They were utterly shocked! They hadn’t expected to find a thief in such a small elevator!
Many passengers, still in shock, subconsciously checked their pockets. Fortunately, the woman had just entered the elevator and hadn’t had a chance to select her target yet, so everyone’s belongings were still intact. While the passengers breathed a sigh of relief, they were still somewhat shaken. Well, the police acted swiftly; if they hadn’t discovered this person was a thief, who knows what might have happened to them…
At this moment, the elevator had already reached the upper floor. Su Xuan pushed the three individuals forward, and the passengers exchanged glances, with none of them making a move.
Fortunately, this location was already somewhat isolated, and the Anti-Pickpocketing Team’s resting room was nearby. Therefore, there were no criminals daring to come here. Su Xuan led the three individuals towards the rest area.
Currently, the rest area was empty, but Su Xuan only needed a place to detain the criminals. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke into the channel.
“Hello, hello? Is there anyone available? If so, please come to the duty room at the high-speed railway station!” “I have three criminals here and need your assistance in taking them into custody.” “Two men and one woman, could you please send a female officer over?” “I’ll be waiting for you in the duty room.”
Su Xuan’s voice was transmitted directly through the walkie-talkie to the public channel. During a major operation like this, not only the
Anti-Pickpocketing Team’s internal channel was in use but also a public channel that all officers had to activate. Moreover, while in standby mode, the walkie-talkie defaulted to the public channel, and it only returned to the user’s specific channel when manually adjusted. Su Xuan was in a hurry and forgot about this detail.
As a result, not only the Anti-Pickpocketing Team members but also officers from other areas within the city, including the leadership of the city police bureau, heard everything clearly. Even Director Zheng, who was overseeing Su Xuan’s temporary assignment, gave an involuntary glare to his Deputy Chief.
My, oh my, Su Xuan had just been temporarily assigned to the
Anti-Pickpocketing Team, right? It hadn’t even been a full day, and he had already turned around and apprehended three criminals. Wasn’t that a bit too fast?
This thought wasn’t exclusive to Director Zheng; it was shared by the other bureau chiefs and section heads as well. Even Old Mai from the Jiangcheng Police Station hadn’t expected Su Xuan to make him look good so quickly. How long had it been since he arrived? He had already arrested two criminals… This was really making him look good!
In contrast to the surprised leadership, ordinary police officers didn’t believe that Su Xuan had such abilities, especially the elite members of the
Anti-Pickpocketing Team. While they knew that Su Xuan had apprehended many criminals in the past, in their minds, there was still a significant gap between him and their seasoned team.
Furthermore, these officers worked day in and day out at places like train stations and airports, engaging in a constant intellectual battle with criminals. They understood each other’s tactics. Even they couldn’t be sure how many criminals they could catch in a single day.
Su Xuan, who had never worked in such an environment before, was just a young officer who had come from a grassroots police station. How could he possibly catch three thieves in a single afternoon, especially at a location as notorious as a high-speed train station?
It was already a success if you didn’t get pickpocketed here. This guy…. could he be bragging?
