Escape First…
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Su Xuan requested backup, it was done directly over the public channel.
Not only the members of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team but also personnel from other police stations and the city bureau’s squad could hear it.
Chief Zheng, who had just come out of the surveillance room not long ago, abruptly put down his pen and stood up.
He looked up and happened to meet the gaze of the deputy bureau chief, who was also looking over.
“What’s going on?”
“Let’s go, take a look!”
As the chief and deputy bureau chiefs, they were responsible for overseeing major affairs within the bureau. Even if they encountered a real situation, they couldn’t leave.
Fortunately, they had surveillance cameras throughout the city bureau. If they wanted to see what was happening, they just needed to access the surveillance footage.
Not to mention this so-called criminal group that Su Xuan mentioned!
They couldn’t afford to miss this situation.
Su Xuan was a new police officer, recognized even by their standards!
If he got injured here, it would be a disgrace!
And the captain of the Anti-Pocketing Team, Captain Liao, immediately spoke to the other members of the team through his walkie-talkie.
“The closest team members to Kesha Station, gather at the station immediately! Coordinate with Su Xuan’s operation!”
“Repeating: The closest team members to Kesha Station, gather at the station immediately! Proceed to provide support!”
After delivering his message, Captain Liao put down the walkie-talkie and rushed to the subway station downstairs. Even though he knew it might be too late, he had to go and check out Kesha Station!
Based on the events that had unfolded earlier, Captain Liao had a good understanding of Su Xuan’s ability to identify criminals. Therefore, he gave these orders without hesitation.
The team members who received his message didn’t hesitate either and immediately sprang into action. They all believed in Su Xuan’s judgment!
While Su Xuan had just boarded the subway, the train was incredibly fast, taking at most five or six minutes to reach the next station! Moreover, they couldn’t afford to alert the criminals by forcing them off the train prematurely. They had to wait until the criminals got off at their destination, and then Su Xuan and the team could follow suit.
But if the criminals didn’t get off at the next station…
In that case, the team members who had rushed there would have made a fruitless trip and would have to hurry to the next station…
However, even so, the team members had full confidence in Su Xuan’s ability to identify the criminals. They were prepared to make multiple trips if necessary…
The only hope now was that this group of people would get off the train after it reached the station. Likewise, they hoped the team members rushing to the station would arrive quickly…
As time passed by second by second, Su Xuan returned to Zheng Wenjie’s side, and the two of them found a pillar to stand by.
One facing forward, the other facing backward.
They kept a close watch on each other’s movements.
But even so, as the announcement for the approaching station echoed through the train, Zheng Wenjie’s hand gripping the pole was sweating profusely.
The more nervous a person became, the easier it was to make mistakes. In situations like this, Zheng Wenjie felt like his eyes were starting to blur.
He tried to control himself from looking at that group of people, but the more he tried to restrain himself, the more his eyes involuntarily glanced in their direction.
That group of people was already nervous.
Everyone in the train car was their focus, especially after Su Xuan had gone out and returned, becoming the center of their attention.
At the same time, Zheng Wenjie, who was obviously Su Xuan’s companion, was in the same spotlight.
At this moment, although Zheng Wenjie hadn’t directly looked at the five individuals, his body was tense, and he hadn’t even dared to move his neck.
However, it was precisely because of this that the five individuals found it suspicious.
They exchanged glances, and without any communication, they all stood up and began to move toward Zheng Wenjie.
Walking halfway, two of the men headed towards another train car.
The remaining three closed in around Zheng Wenjie, forming a triangle and surrounding him.
Seeing this formation, Zheng Wenjie knew he might have been exposed.
Watching as two of them left the train car, he felt increasingly anxious!
But the situation was still unclear, and he couldn’t take action recklessly.
Moreover, he had no idea whether these three individuals were armed with knives. If he acted impulsively, it might cause panic among the other passengers in the train car.
However, if he didn’t act…
If he got subdued or if the two suspects ran away, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Just at that moment, Su Xuan, who had also noticed the two men leaving, chased after them.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief. As the three people approached, he prepared himself for action!
There were still about two to three minutes before the train reached the station, and regardless of whether reinforcements could arrive in time, he couldn’t let these three suspects go here first!
At this moment, Su Xuan had already chased after the suspects into another train car.
The two men were moving quickly.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Xuan had the Sin Radar above his head, he might have lost track of these two individuals among the crowded passengers!
Fortunately, he didn’t chase for long before one of the suspects entered a less crowded train car.
Su Xuan didn’t follow them but stayed one train car away, relying on the radar to monitor them in real-time.
The subway was about to reach the station soon.
With the sound of the subway announcement, Su Xuan stood up and walked towards the adjacent train car.
Sure enough, he saw the two suspects were already standing at the door of their train car, and the moment the doors opened, they squeezed out.
Su Xuan quickly followed suit.
On the other side, the three individuals who had approached Zheng Wenjie didn’t make a move after all.
Instead, they closely examined him from head to toe.
Fortunately, after catching up with Su Xuan, Zheng Wenjie had handed the walkie-talkie to another companion and left it at the previous station, so he didn’t have a walkie-talkie on him at the moment.
The three individuals glanced at Zheng Wenjie but were still uncertain whether he was really a police officer. In the end, they didn’t take any action.
After the train had reached the station, the three individuals simply walked out.
Zheng Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t dare to stop there. He quickly followed them.
After what had happened earlier, he didn’t dare to chase too closely this time.
He was afraid that these three individuals would catch on to his presence if they saw him, so he had to keep a safe distance while trailing them.
It was fortunate that there were enough police officers who had gathered at this moment. Zheng Wenjie walked forward and immediately encountered a few colleagues. He gestured toward the three suspects, and without a word, they set off in pursuit.
Zheng Wenjie kept a safe distance.
Considering the crowded station, none of them made a move. Instead, they followed the three suspects onto the subway. Watching the suspects head towards an open area beside the subway, Zheng Wenjie immediately signaled to his colleagues and then rushed out.
His fellow officers weren’t slow either. Upon seeing the signal, they followed suit.
Several officers were poised for action.
“Police! Don’t move!”
With a loud shout, several officers rushed forward, surrounding the three individuals and swiftly tackling them to the ground, pulling out handcuffs in the process!
The three individuals were utterly shocked!
When they saw Zheng Wenjie’s face, a fierce expression immediately appeared on their faces. “You!!”
Things were developing favorably on this side, but on the other side, Su Xuan hadn’t encountered any reinforcements yet..
