Chapter 178: Affirmation from a Colleague!

“Huff, huff!”

“Su Xuan, are you kidding me?”

“I just went to give a lecture, and you… you’ve caught another suspect?”

“In the middle of a school, how did you manage to find one?”

“My phone is lying on the floor smashed!”

Zhou Qiang stared at Su Xuan in shock from outside the car.

And there was also the cuffed suspect, Qian Gui, sitting next to Su Xuan inside

the car.

Zhou Qiang had been propping the car door open, talking nonstop to Su Xuan. But when he saw the people inside the car, even Zhou Qiang was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t that Qian from the cafeteria?”

“Why did you arrest him?”

“Wait…”

Suddenly, he realized.

In disbelief, he pointed at Qian Gui and asked Su Xuan, “The suspect you mentioned earlier, it couldn’t be him, right?

At this moment, Zhou Qiang felt a bit foolish.

He definitely knew who Qian Gui was. After all, he had come to this school many times for the girl he liked, and he had been invited by the school leadership to dine here on several occasions.

Naturally, he had seen Qian Gui in the cafeteria.

So, when he saw Su Xuan arrest Qian Gui, he was left dumbfounded.

Damn it!

What on earth was going on?

Why did Su Xuan say that the suspect was Mr. Qian from the cafeteria? Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but think back to the times when he had been invited by the school leaders to eat there. He had seen Mr. Qian several times but had never thought of him as a suspect.

“Hmm,” Su Xuan replied, not aware of his colleague’s thoughts. Even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared. Now, looking at Zhou Qiang’s surprised expression, he decided to explain.

“I suspect this person of child molestation,” Su Xuan said. “We’re getting ready to take him to the police station for questioning. I’m sorry you missed your chance to have lunch with your crush… Next time, if there’s a chance like this, I’ll make sure you’re there!” He added a playful tease at the end.

Zhou Qiang was left speechless. Wasn’t it about having lunch with his crush, not missing out on it altogether?

“Child molestation?” Zhou Qiang asked. “How did you find that out?”

Su Xuan unconsciously glanced at Mr. Qian and replied, “I’ve eaten at this school several times, and I’ve seen Mr. Qian before. I didn’t think he had any issues…” It was a real puzzle!

Su Xuan didn’t want to dwell on the matter further. He simply looked up and motioned to the driver’s seat, speaking in a calm tone, “Given the current situation, I definitely can’t drive. You should drive.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang could only nod in agreement. “Okay!”

After making a phone call to inform the school principal, Zhou Qiang drove back to the police station with Su Xuan. As their car pulled up at the station, their colleagues, who were about to head to the cafeteria for lunch, spotted their return and looked somewhat puzzled.

“Zhou Qiang, Su Xuan?” one of the colleagues asked. “Aren’t you supposed to be giving a speech at Bo Cai today? Why are you back at this hour?”

“Yeah,” another colleague chimed in. “Why not have lunch at Bo Cai? It’s a higher education institution; their lunch is pretty good.

“Skipping a meal there is a missed opportunity, isn’t it?” another officer commented as he approached Zhou Qiang, who had just stepped out of the car.

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhou Qiang’s face tensed, and he opened the driver’s door, got out of the car, and then went to the back seat. He forcefully opened the rear car door and pulled out a man who was already handcuffed.

The observing officer seemed to have an inkling of why these two had returned instead of having lunch at the university. After all, they had just gone to a school, but somehow, they had managed to apprehend a suspect.

It seemed a bit unusual, to say the least.

“What’s going on here?” Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth as he pointed at Qian Gui for an explanation.

in fact, Zhou Qiang had experienced a similar situation before, so seeing his colleague as shocked as himself made him strangely relieved.

“It’s all thanks to Su Xuan,” Zhou Qiang began, and Su Xuan had already stepped out of the back seat.

“He told me he had a stomachache, so I ended up handling the speech on my own,” Zhou Qiang continued. “After I finished my speech, I couldn’t find him, so I gave him a call.”

“This guy gave me quite a surprise,” Zhou Qiang chuckled. “He had gone and apprehended a suspect right from within the school… Can you believe it?” The observing officer was left speechless. He didn’t understand, but he was thoroughly impressed. Just going to deliver a speech and coming back with a suspect… and it had to be you, Su Xuan!

After bringing Qian Gui back to the police station, Su Xuan and the others didn’t immediately interrogate him. It was lunchtime after all. Police officers needed to eat, and suspects needed to be fed as well.

The interrogation was scheduled for 1 PM. By then, Qian Gui had finished his lunch and was in the interrogation room, feeling anxious. He was so afraid that he hadn’t eaten much, and Su Xuan was aware of this. However, he couldn’t force-feed the suspect.

They had to wait until 1 PM for the interrogation. During these hours of waiting, Qian Gui had become increasingly anxious, not knowing if Su Xuan had any evidence against him.

Then, at the moment Qian Gui was lost in his worried thoughts, the sound of the door opening reached his ears. Subsequently, the officer who had arrested him earlier took a seat in the room.

Seeing this scene, Qian Gui averted his gaze, placed his hands on his head, lowered his head without saying a word, and even appeared uncommunicative.

Su Xuan wasn’t particularly angry and simply sat down, taking out a piece of paper to start his report.

“Qian Gui, from Lianshi Township, was arrested five years ago for theft, served three months in jail, and then disappeared.

“He actually changed his name and identity to come to Hong Kong…

As Su Xuan began to speak after sitting down, Qian Gui knew he was in trouble.

“Officer!”

“Officer, please don’t say anything, officer!

Seeing Su Xuan preparing to continue speaking, Qian Gui was on the verge of losing his mind.

He quickly interrupted, “These things happened so long ago, how could you possibly know?”

He hadn’t expected that his actions would be discovered after such a long time had passed.

The fact was, it had been a full four years since those incidents had occurred. Upon hearing this, Su Xuan set aside the paper in his hand and looked at Qian Gui.

“The police can investigate what they want to investigate.

“Qian Gui, let me askyou, you were originally arrested for theft, but after being released from prison, you didn’t reform yourself. Instead, you came to Hong Kong by changing your name and intensified your criminal activities, including child molestation…”

“NOW you’re working in the canteen at Bocai University. Have you set your sights on another potential victim?”

With these words, Qian Gui’s face immediately turned ugly.

“Officer!”

“You can say that I did molest children before.

“But you can’t accuse me!”

“I took the job in the canteen because they happened to be hiring, and I felt that continuing to steal was not appropriate, that s all.

“I don’t have any intentions to harm anyone!”

He shouted mournfully.

If Su Xuan had not seen his wandering eyes, he might have believed it..
