Chapter 85: Thinking of Running? Prepare to Spend a Few Years Inside!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing about the achievements of these five brothers, the rural precinct officers were left dumbfounded.

Their mouths hung open, and some couldn’t find words to express their astonishment.

But when they finally collected their thoughts, they turned their heads toward Su Xuan and took a sharp intake of breath, filled with shock.

“Good heavens! These subway theft experts, the Five Bests of Ning City, were actually apprehended by you!”

“Discovering them would have been impressive on its own, but you actually caught them…”

“You’re incredibly skilled…”

“Su Xuan… 1 heard rumors about you catching so many thieves, and 1 was skeptical. Now, I’m a true believer!”

“In just half a day, we heard you talking on the radio, one thief after another. And now you’ve directly captured the Five Bests of Ning City!”

“Wow! You’re truly amazing…”

Compared to their colleagues from the rural precinct, the members of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team were even more excited.

They knew that yesterday, Su Xuan had captured a thief king while catching thieves.

But today, he had not only captured numerous criminals but had even apprehended the Five Bests of Ning City…

Thinking about this, the gazes of those Anti-Pickpocketing Team members towards Su Xuan were filled with envy.

They knew that over the years, they had lightly browsed through various transportation hubs and never caught any thief kings.

Yet Su Xuan, at such a young age…

Had already captured a thief king, and many other thieves!

At this moment, Captain Liao’s face was also filled with excitement.

Although he hadn’t personally caught the Five Bests of Ning City, Su Xuan was someone he had taken a liking to and brought over through his recommendation.

Now, as Su Xuan’s temporary immediate superior…

Su Xuan’s remarkable achievements were something he could share credit for!

Moreover, in the eyes of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team members, the Five Bests of Ning City were no different from thief kings.

And every single one of them had reached the level of a thief king!

Now…

They had apprehended five of them at once!

This was equivalent to capturing five thief king-level criminals in one fell swoop!

“Well done, young man… Excellent job!”

“These are five thief king-level criminals! You definitely deserve a reward for this!”

“The Five Bests of Ning City! Hahaha!”

Captain Liao couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “1 never imagined in my entire life that they would end up in my hands!”

“You’re really something, Su Xuan.”

“I didn’t misjudge you!”

Captain Liao’s words echoed in Su Xuan’s ears, and his expression became somewhat serious.

Although he had previously confirmed from the Sin Radar that these five individuals were likely formidable criminals, he hadn’t expected them to be this skilled. The severity of the situation had escalated beyond his expectations.

Meanwhile, Captain Liao, possibly reminded of something, appeared ecstatic. He was practically overjoyed.

“Oh my…”

“If I remember correctly, isn’t Ning City currently cracking down on organized crime?”

“They’ve been searching for these five across their entire city for so long, and yet they ended up in my hands, finally caught!”

“I never thought that the Ning City Five Bests would be apprehended by our downtown anti-pickpocketing team!”

“I’m dying of laughter, if this gets out, imagine how many of our colleagues will envy us!”

Captain Liao was genuinely ecstatic.

Even though Su Xuan was the one who had captured these criminals, he was now a member of the anti-pickpocketing team. In this operation, they had all acted as anti-pickpocketing team members, and it was a win for their entire team.

Just like in the case of Old Mai’s police station, they had struck gold this time!

Captain Liao was thrilled and didn’t mind who received the ultimate credit. All that mattered was that the Five Bests of Ning City were now under their custody.

“Su Xuan, this time, we owe it to you!”

“If you hadn’t noticed something was off with these five, we wouldn’t have been able to catch them.”

“Rest assured, I’ll report this to our superiors, and your contributions will be well recognized!”

Captain Liao spoke with enthusiasm.

However, as Captain Liao celebrated their success, the five captured criminals wore displeased expressions. One of them spoke up defiantly.

“Haha, do you guys think that capturing us is enough?”

“Let me tell you! Your pathetic jail might hold us for a moment, but it won’t hold us for a lifetime!”

“When 1 get out, I’ll be back to my old self!”

The leader of the thieves uttered these words, and upon hearing them, Captain Liao’s expression changed slightly, while Su Xuan couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

“For the three of you, maybe there’s no guarantee, but those two I caught earlier assaulted a police officer.”

“They even attacked an officer with a weapon, which adds another charge!”

“Don’t think you’ll be getting out in three to five years; you can even forget about getting out in five to six years!”

Hearing this, the triumphant expression on the leader’s face froze.

“Alright, take them back!”

“These are the Five Bests of Ning City! Each one of them is on par with a thief king! It’s exhilarating to have captured all five at once!”

Captain Liao directed his subordinates to take the five criminals away.

The members of the anti-pickpocketing team were walking with weak knees, not just because they had expended so much energy charging over earlier, but also because they were still in shock.

“Wow, 1 heard that the police in Ning City have been trying to catch these Five Bests for a long time but never succeeded!”

“I can’t believe it ended up falling into our laps.”

“My goodness, even the anti-pickpocketing teams in major cities can’t beat us, right?”

“This time, we’ve really shown our skills!”

As they spoke, the team members couldn’t contain their excitement.

It’s important to note that while Su Xuan had indeed discovered these five criminals, it was the entire team that had successfully apprehended them. Looking at Su Xuan’s individual abilities alone, it would have been impossible to catch these five criminals. So when it came time for commendations, the team members knew they had also played a significant role.

For them, this was already quite satisfying. After all, these were thief kings they had apprehended, and having a share of the credit for their capture was impressive enough.

Meanwhile, with the successful capture of these five thieves, Su Xuan also received the system’s reward points.

Although the number of thieves caught this time was relatively small, they had a high amount of points due to their high levels of sin. This effectively resolved the issue of Su Xuan being broke once again since the points he received were doubled.

This influx of points allowed him to freely explore the points marketplace once more. Su Xuan’s gaze fell on the Ghostly Evasion Step ability, which he had just tried out in the trial version.

After the confrontation with these thieves, Su Xuan realized that even with the body-enhancing potion he still had many shortcomings.

First of all, his ability was just too weak.

If it weren’t for having the system’s marketplace at his disposal this time, I’m afraid 1 would have been done for the moment the other side attacked.

But fortunately, the results after capturing the criminals were satisfying…

Encountering such a thief king is no simple matter, and Su Xuan decided to bite the bullet for now and not dwell on the Ghostly Evasion Step ability.

Instead, he took a fancy to that one….
