“I can’t believe it,” the detained man grumbled, his hands in handcuffs. “I’ve been at the airport for so many years, and this is the first time I’ve been caught.”

He glanced at Su Xuan, the young police officer, and remarked, “Officer, you look quite young. Are you new here?”

Once the lady with her recovered bag hurriedly left, the detained man hung his head, feeling dejected, and looked at the handcuffs on his wrists. He couldn’t help but complain, “It’s hard to believe that I got caught by such a young cop.”

He glanced at Su Xuan’s relatively youthful face and shook his head. He couldn’t believe he had been apprehended by someone so inexperienced. It was embarrassing for him.

“Who would believe it? I’ve been caught by this young cop… It’s humiliating.”

The man was filled with regret, but not for his theft. He regretted not realizing sooner that he had been spotted by the police. If he had, he might have assessed the situation and looked for any other officers nearby.

Su Xuan cast a disdainful look at the man and said impatiently, “Shut up! Be quiet and cooperate. If you dare to alert other criminals, I’ll charge you with obstructing law enforcement. You’ll compound your crimes!”

Upon hearing this, the man, who had been about to protest, immediately closed his mouth. He had no desire to add to his charges.

He thought to himself that he didn’t want to compound his crimes. How long would he be detained for theft? Adding more charges wouldn’t do him any favors.

Besides, if he was indeed caught, he didn’t want to be the only one facing consequences. He began to secretly hope that the officer would apprehend some of his companions as well.

The idea of having some familiar faces join him in custody brought a glimmer of excitement to the young man’s face. He didn’t mind being caught anymore. He reasoned that he might as well cooperate and let the officer capture a few of his associates.

After all, they were like brothers, and they should accompany him in the jail cell.

Su Xuan couldn’t fathom what the young man had in mind. He observed the sudden change in the man’s demeanor, finding it rather peculiar.

“Behave yourself, and come with me,” Su Xuan instructed.

The young man quickly agreed, even going so far as to fold his hands together, making no move to reveal the handcuffs. He approached Su Xuan with visible excitement.

“Officer, are you planning to clean up the entire airport this time?” he inquired eagerly. “1 heard you recently apprehended all the criminals in the subway. Is it the airport’s turn now?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t spill the beans,” he continued. “I promise to cooperate! You’ve got to make more arrests today! Let them all come and keep me company. It wouldn’t be fair if I’m the only one caught!”

“I even know a few of my associates. I’ll point them out to you later,” the man whispered into Su Xuan’s ear, showing no concern about exposing his fellow criminals.

Listening to the criminal, Su Xuan was left speechless but found a bit of humor in the situation. The airport’s criminals having someone like this man as a companion was truly unfortunate for them.

Nevertheless, Su Xuan had the Sin Radar. Even if this guy didn’t cooperate, he could still locate other criminals. He took a moment to reflect on what Zhang Chenglong had mentioned earlier when they exited the car. Did he need to achieve a few more apprehensions?

With that in mind, Su Xuan took out his phone and dialed Zhang Chenglong directly, asking him to come and take custody of this criminal. He also requested that the man identify his other associates. There was a distinction between the criminals caught by Zhang Chenglong and those captured by Su Xuan, so they would need to sort that out.

Zhang Chenglong had just parked his car when he received Su Xuan’s call. If not for the call, he would have already exited the vehicle. Hearing that Su Xuan had already caught a criminal, he was taken aback.

“You captured someone so quickly?” he exclaimed. “I just parked my car…”

“Su Xuan, you’re working at a fast pace,” he commented before adding, “I’m on my way over right now!”

Upon ending the call, Zhang Chenglong didn’t exit his car. Instead, he restarted the vehicle and returned to the location they had been previously.

At this moment, Su Xuan had already brought the criminal to the door and was waiting for Zhang Chenglong. When Zhang Chenglong’s car pulled up and stopped in front of them, Su Xuan opened the door and ushered the criminal inside.

Leaning in to talk to Zhang Chenglong, Su Xuan said, “Zhang Ge, I’m handing this guy over to you for now.”

He paused briefly and added, “By the way, he mentioned knowing several other criminals here at the airport.”

Su Xuan didn’t need to say more, but he knew Zhang Chenglong would understand his meaning. And sure enough, when he finished speaking, Zhang Chenglong’s eyes lit up.

Looking at the criminal sitting in the backseat with those green-glowing eyes, Zhang Chenglong couldn’t believe it. This guy didn’t seem like an ordinary criminal. This was a substantial boost to his achievements.

“Su Xuan, thanks!” Zhang Chenglong acknowledged that Su Xuan was helping him out. While they were a team, it made a significant difference whether you caught a thief alone or with the assistance of another officer.

If Su Xuan had caught the criminal, Zhang Chenglong would have received only partial credit. But now, by passing the criminal to him and mentioning that the guy knew other pickpockets, it meant that any future arrests made based on this criminal’s information would be credited to Zhang Chenglong.

In this moment, Zhang Chenglong was genuinely grateful for what Su Xuan had done.

“No problem,” Su Xuan responded. “Zhang Ge, I’m leaving this guy with you. I’ll check out some other areas.”

Seeing Su Xuan’s departing figure, Zhang Chenglong was still somewhat in disbelief. Su Xuan had willingly handed him this chance to apprehend a significant number of criminals.

Even capturing one criminal could earn you a commendation.

Zhang Chenglong was impressed by Su Xuan’s gesture, feeling a rush of gratitude and motivation. He looked at the criminal in the back seat and brimmed with determination.

“Come on, tell me which other criminals you know,” he said, starting the conversation.

The criminal, who had been eager to speak, immediately began to spill the beans.

As Zhang Chenglong took the criminal to catch other thieves, Su Xuan left the bustling hall and arrived at the elevator lobby.

He intended to go upstairs for a look, but things took an unexpected turn.

There was a man dressed in tattered clothes, resembling a beggar, lying on the vacant space to the left of the elevator. In front of him sat an empty porcelain bowl.

It was clear he was seeking alms from passing travelers, and his gaze was fixed intently on the elevator as it ascended. He clutched the bowl tightly, as if waiting for passengers to come down before soliciting for money.

But what caught Su Xuan’s attention was the small, intricately folded knife he held in his other hand…

The blade had extended to half a centimeter, sharp as can be….
