Chapter 72: All the Police Officers Are Shocked. Su Xuan Is Really Capable…

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although the officers found Su Xuan’s explanation rather far-fetched, they had to follow the standard procedures for their work. Several officers glanced at Su Xuan and then proceeded to perform body searches.

Each officer was assigned to one of the suspects, and they began conducting the searches. The first to uncover evidence was the man who appeared to be a farmer. His backpack looked suspicious, drawing the officers’ attention.

The farmer didn’t resist; after all, he was already in custody. Was he really going to fight back and end up pinned to the ground? It seemed more convenient to simply admit guilt and cooperate.

When the officers found incriminating items in the farmer’s bag, the expressions directed at Su Xuan became rather peculiar. They hadn’t expected Su Xuan to actually catch a criminal, and most importantly, this criminal didn’t fit the stereotype at all.

They felt a profound sense of irony and realized that they had underestimated the situation. It was a facepalm moment.

Next, the woman who had been grumbling under her breath underwent a search. A female officer conducted the search and discovered evidence.

“Wow…”

“This is incredible! There are actually stolen goods?”

“Is this person really a thief?”

“All the items in this leather bag are stolen goods! It’s impossible to tell. You’re a habitual offender!”

“This is unbelievable. If it weren’t for Su Xuan catching you, even if you walked past me, I wouldn’t have known you were a thief…”

Staring at the pile of incriminating evidence in front of them, the three officers were utterly shocked. They couldn’t help but speak out in disbelief, their words pouring out uncontrollably. They were genuinely astonished, to the point where they began doubting themselves.

Only the criminal who had been caught first by Su Xuan, the one who bore the closest resemblance to a typical thief, didn’t elicit the same level of astonishment. The items found on him didn’t surprise the others much.

The criminals themselves were bewildered. They couldn’t fathom why the police officers were treating them differently. There was no one available to address their concerns, as everyone was focused on the elderly man and the seemingly indignant woman, their expressions all conveying one word: confusion.

“No…”

“Su Xuan, how did you do it? How did you know they were criminals?”

One of the officers muttered, “These two look just like ordinary civilians…”

As he spoke, he leaned back and inadvertently pressed his walkie-talkie against the edge of the office desk. It was powered on, and their conversation was broadcast over the public channel, reaching the ears of other officers.

The officers who had been speculating whether Su Xuan was arbitrarily apprehending people were now dumbfounded.

“I can’t believe it! So, Su Xuan actually caught three more criminals?”

“Amazing! I thought he was just joking around to claim undeserved credit… I never expected it to be true!”

“Incredible, aren’t these three all thieves? If I recall correctly, Su Xuan was transferred to the Anti-Pickpocketing Unit, right?”

“Wow… Could he be on his way to becoming a legend?”

“I mean, this guy is something else! I heard he caught thirty criminals in one go yesterday! Even Jiangcheng Police Station couldn’t handle that…”

“It looks like this guy really knows how to get things done…”

As these voices came through the public channel, all the officers who heard these remarks couldn’t help but mutter to themselves.

Similarly, the members of the Anti-Pickpocketing Unit heard these comments, as well as the officers who had been transferred to work with them.

For the latter group, this news left them both admiring and resentful of Su Xuan. They had been transferred just like him, but while Su Xuan managed to capture three criminals at once, they were still learning alongside the Anti-Pickpocketing Unit members.

The difference was staggering, and it felt like they were in a whirlwind of emotions. However, they couldn’t help but admire Su Xuan, and they hoped that he wouldn’t be too overwhelmed. They believed that even if they couldn’t match his accomplishments, they could still work hard and improve their skills. They just hope he won’t be too far ahead of them, making it impossible for them to catch up.

On the other side, as the Anti-Pickpocketing Unit’s captain watched the three criminals being searched and confirmed as thieves, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite feeling that he should trust Su Xuan, there was still a lingering doubt in his mind when he first saw the three criminals. He wondered if Su Xuan had made a mistake and chose not to conduct the searches himself. Instead, he waited for the officers to arrive, displaying significant patience.

Fortunately, the final result didn’t disappoint him. Su Xuan had apprehended three genuine thieves.

This made Captain Liao not only relieved but also convinced that Su Xuan was born for this line of work. His eyes sparkled with the belief that he had witnessed the rise of a new star in the world of anti-pickpocketing.

“Well done, young man!” Captain Liao walked over, hooked his arm around Su Xuan’s neck, and with a sly grin, he said in a hushed tone, “Su Xuan, have you ever considered joining our Anti-Pickpocketing Unit?”

Without waiting for Su Xuan to respond, he continued, “Let me tell you, don’t worry about your precinct chief trying to keep you. As long as you nod your head in agreement with me, I’ll immediately go talk to Old Mai. That old man won’t dare to compete with me for talent like you.”

“Otherwise, I’ll make a scene in front of him. A talent like you can truly shine in our Anti-Pickpocketing Unit…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a furious roar erupted from his waist-mounted radio.

“Liao Junfan!! Are you dreaming?!”

“Su Xuan belongs to me! If you dare to snatch him away, do you believe I’ll rush to the city center right now?!”

Hmm.

This voice was quite familiar.

It was Su Xuan’s precinct chief, Old Mai’s voice.

Everyone present:…

Captain Liao instinctively glanced at his waist-mounted radio, which was currently in standby mode, able to receive but not transmit. He then looked at the others.

The officer who had leaned his radio against the table realized that it had accidentally rested there and promptly picked it up. Fie humbly apologized to Captain Liao, saying, “I’m sorry, Captain Liao. It was me…”

Captain Liao:…

“Heh,Old Mai!”

Captain Liao immediately picked up the radio and responded with a playful tone, “1 was just joking! But this young comrade Su Xuan does have real talent. Otherwise, take a look…”

Upon hearing this, Old Mai knew exactly what Liao wanted to say. He rolled his eyes in his office, refusing to let up. “You’re dreaming! Allowing you to borrow Su Xuan for a few days is already generous enough. Let me tell you, don’t push your luck, or I’ll immediately bring him back…”

Both had their reasons, and neither was going to convince the other. Fortunately, they were using a private channel; otherwise, they would have already received criticism from the annoyed officers.

Taking advantage of their debate, Su Xuan handed over the three criminals to the arriving officer in charge of the prisoners. Then, with his own pair of handcuffs in hand, he turned and left.

With this spare time, he thought it would be better to seize the opportunity to capture a few more criminals!
