Chapter 138: Criminal Investigation Department Borrowing Someone? Old Mai was furious. A meat bun hitting a dog!

“Tang Jiajia, originally from Xiangxi, twenty-five years old, her modus operand! is theft.”

“She has been using this method of deceiving people for who knows how long to steal things. We were initially planning to classify her as such.”

“However, after our in-depth investigation, we found that she is very cautious when it comes to anti-surveillance techniques, and there are also many inconsistencies in her statements.”

“Through our extensive investigation, we discovered that she has a sister…”

“Who went missing three years ago and is still unaccounted for. When asked about this incident, she avoids the topic.”

“So, we decided to release her for further observation, and we didn’t expect to encounter you.”

The person who had arrived was none other than the officers from the city’s Criminal Investigation Department.

One of them was the officer Su Xuan had met in the mall that morning, named Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan had a very serious expression as he explained the situation to Su Xuan.

“Considering that you were the one who originally arrested this criminal…”

“We hope that you can temporarily transfer to our Criminal Investigation Department.”

“This case may require your assistance…”

As Tian Yuan spoke, he actually felt a bit uncomfortable deep down. In his view, while Su Xuan might be skilled at catching thieves, could a police officer from a small local station really have a more brilliant mind than theirs?

However, they had been tracking Tang Jiajia for a long time. After she left the mall following her contact with someone, she quickly rented a house and bought a lot of things, clearly intending to stay home. Even the officers in the Criminal Investigation Department were a bit helpless. They had no evidence to prove that Tang Jiajia’s sister might have died, let alone that she died at Tang Jiajia’s hands. So, they had to proceed with the investigation slowly.

Even though they had restricted Tang Jiajia from leaving the city for a month, it wouldn’t help if she just stayed home and didn’t go anywhere.

“Officer Su, can you consider it?”

After saying this, Tian Yuan looked at Su Xuan with a sincere expression.

Su Xuan didn’t respond but turned his gaze towards Lao Liao instead. After all, he had been temporarily reassigned to the Anti-Pickpocketing Team. Of course, if needed, he could assist the Criminal Investigation Department.

Old Mai wore a serious expression at this moment. When the two officers from the Criminal Investigation Department arrived, they mentioned wanting to find Su Xuan, but they didn’t explain the purpose. So, he called Su Xuan over, and now they were springing this surprise on him.

This was…

Quite impressive.

“As for this matter, we need to discuss it with Captain Liao.”

“Perhaps you two aren’t aware yet, but Su Xuan here has already been temporarily transferred to the Anti-Pickpocketing Team.”

“Even if I agree, if Captain Liao disagrees, it’s still a no.”

In reality, as one of his subordinates, as long as Old Mai agreed, Su Xuan could directly go to the Criminal Investigation Department. However, Old Mai wasn’t willing!

Part of it was the attitudes of these two individuals when they came over. They were from the Municipal Bureau, acting ail high and mighty. No matter how capable you were, didn’t you still have to come to me to borrow my people?

“Of course!”

Hearing Old Mai’s words, the other officer who had come with Tian Yuan had a pretty good idea of what he meant. When he came, he had intended to talk to Captain Mai, but his companion had an unpleasant way of speaking and had a short temper. He didn’t have a high opinion of Su Xuan, a police officer from a rural police station.

Thinking that he had to come here to request Su Xuan’s assistance, Tian Yuan felt uncomfortable deep inside. Could this lead to trouble?

“In that case, please contact Captain Liao.”

“We do need Officer Su’s help for a joint investigation of these two suspects.”

With a more humble attitude, Old Mai felt more at ease. Otherwise, with Tian Yuan’s attitude earlier, he wouldn’t even want to make the call.

The situation was already like this, and it would be difficult to refuse. Old Mai had intended for it to be this way from the start.

After Old Liao gave his approval, he promptly ended the call and turned his attention to the two officers from the Criminal Investigation Department.

“To be honest, even though Captain Liao has agreed, I’m not too keen on letting him go.”

“You might not know this, but my subordinates might not look like much, but in just one month, the number of arrests he’s made is equivalent to our annual achievements.”
