Chapter 47 - 47: Why Can’t You Do Anything? Why Are You

“Officer, you guys are undercover, doing a little fishing, aren’t you?”
“Is it a bit over the top?”
As his wrists were handcuffed with silver bracelets, the man in the windbreaker knew he was in hot water. However, deep down, he still felt a twinge of resentment.
He couldn’t help but wonder if Su Xuan and his team were engaging in some sort of entrapment operation, including the teenager he had just swindled, treating them all as part of the police force.
He thought they were in cahoots.
“Behave!”
“What fishing operation? Stealing things and complaining?!”
Just then, the teenager who had been detained due to this unexpected event finally realized what was happening. When he saw the envelope in the windbreaker man’s hand, he was dumbfounded.
“Hey… How come this envelope looks like mine?”
“Did you also withdraw money from the same bank as me?”
Hearing these words, Su Xuan’s eyebrow twitched, and he couldn’t help but feel perplexed.
Buddy, shouldn’t you be thinking that this might be your stuff?
“I say, young man, is there a chance this is yours?”
Hearing this, the teenager gave Su Xuan a glance, then looked at the envelope in the windbreaker man’s hand. Suddenly, he started rummaging through his own bag, and his face took on a nervous expression.
“What should I do? My money is gone!”
“That’s a year’s worth of tuition!”
“What am 1 going to do…”
In his panic, he looked at Su Xuan and the windbreaker man, then hesitated, “Is this envelope really mine?”
“Is he a thief?”
Hearing the teenager’s words, even Su Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond to this knee-jerk reaction.
“This is yours; take it.”
Su Xuan said, taking out his phone to document the evidence and recording it with his body camera before handing the envelope in the thief’s hand back to the teenager.
“In the future, it’s better to carry money like this with you, in front of you with a backpack. It’s safer.”
After Su Xuan’s advice, the teenager nodded quickly. After this scare, he was extremely nervous.
“And right now, we’re on a mission. When you go back, please keep quiet.”
For this victim of theft, Su Xuan could only give him a verbal warning, hoping that he wouldn’t speak out. Otherwise, if he made a fuss, the gang of thieves in the waiting room might get wind of it and escape.
He didn’t want to go back with just two petty thieves.
He had worked hard to transfer here; it wasn’t just to catch a couple of them!
The teenager wasn’t entirely clueless, so when he heard Su Xuan’s words, he immediately nodded.
“Uncle Officer, don’t worry, 1 won’t say anything!”
“You guys are on a mission; 1 understand!”
With that, the teenager saluted him.
Being called “Uncle Officer” by someone in their twenties left Su Xuan’s mouth twitching, and he waved his hand in response.
“Thank you very much.”
As Su Xuan expressed his gratitude, the teenager took the envelope and hurried away.
The man in the windbreaker stood expressionless in his place, head lowered, already devoid of hope.
“I say, officer, why couldn’t you have picked a better day for this? Why did you have to come today?”
“Furthermore, in plainclothes…”
“Could it be that you thought today you’d catch someone?”
As he spoke, the man in the windbreaker looked at the handcuffs on his wrists, his face souring instantly. He felt like he had no right to say anything.
“I never thought that after all these years of roaming the station, I’d also have a day when I’d get caught.”
“I guess I’m getting old…”
Hearing these words, Su Xuan’s face turned cold in an instant. He nudged the man in the windbreaker’s shoulder and headed in the direction of the stairwell.
“Shut up! Behave yourself.”
“Don’t make a sound!”
The man in the windbreaker knew he had probably fallen this time. Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, he immediately sealed his lips and followed Su Xuan towards the stairwell.
However, the time he remained silent was quite short.
After all, as soon as the man in the windbreaker saw the guy in the jacket, he couldn’t help himself.
“Hey, isn’t this our Station Prince, Xiangli?”
“What a coincidence, you got caught too.”
The man in the windbreaker spoke triumphantly.
So sometimes, having someone accompany you in your misfortune is the most pleasing thing.
It’s like finding joy in someone else’s pain.
Although he had also been caught, at least he was the second one to be apprehended.
Didn’t they see that the car had been caught for who knows how long before Xiangli?
“It’s quite a coincidence, but you were caught, right?”
“I’m quite happy to have someone keep me company.”
The man in the jacket, who was Xiangli, said, and the man in the windbreaker, who had been feeling pleased, suddenly changed his expression.
Indeed, they were both caught now, so there was nothing to be proud of.
Looking at the two of them, Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel a bit of a headache.
He still needed to go to the waiting room and continue waiting for the pickpockets to make their move before he could catch them. But leaving two criminals here seemed a bit…
As if he had thought of something, Su Xuan sent a message to Tian Genchui.
Soon, Tian Genchui rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing that there were actually two handcuffed criminals standing next to Su Xuan, he was surprised on the spot.
“How long has it been? You already caught two?” he exclaimed.
Su Xuan nodded. “Two pickpockets.”
Tian Genchui knew he hadn’t changed his shoes, so he had been watching from the sidelines the whole time. Although he hadn’t exposed himself, it was also inconvenient for him to apprehend people from the sidelines. Even identifying which ones were the criminals was somewhat difficult.
So he wandered in circles over and over again and didn’t see anyone suspicious.
But he hadn’t expected that in such a short time, Su Xuan had actually caught two thieves!
He thought about the rumors circulating in the department about Su Xuan’s mysterious techniques in recent days, and suddenly he believed those rumors!
Su Xuan didn’t waste any words and directly said to Tian Genchui, “Tian Ge, these two guys are not suitable to stay here. How about you take them back and record their statements first?”
“Oh, by the way, do you have any spare handcuffs on you? Can you lend me one?”
“I brought mo spare sets of handcuffs today, and I’ve used them both.”
Usually, police officers only carried one set of handcuffs because they were here to catch thieves this time, so Su Xuan had brought two spare sets. But now they had all been used up, which was affecting his effectiveness.
“Here you go!”
Tian Genchui didn’t hesitate at all. He directly took off the extra pair of handcuffs from the man in the jacket and handed them to Su Xuan.
“Then I’ll take them away.”
The two of them were originally from the same patrol team. Even if Su Xuan had captured them, he would still be credited, so he did not stand on ceremony with Su Xuan.
After obtaining Su Xuan’s approval, he left with his people.
Su Xuan returned to the waiting room after he left with his people.
However, there were no more criminals in the waiting room.
Even the ones he saw earlier were gone..
