Little did they know, as Captain Liao’s words were still hanging in the air, his gaze casually shifted towards the other four suspects. An expression of surprise instantly froze on his face.
His sudden change in demeanor left everyone stunned.
Zheng Wenjie was the first to notice that something was amiss and immediately inquired, “Captain Liao, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at them like that?”
Zheng Wenjie felt an increasing sense of unease. Could it be that something was off about the other four suspects they had apprehended? Did they make a mistake in their arrests?
Not only Zheng Wenjie but also Su Xuan turned their attention to the four suspects after Captain Liao’s peculiar behavior.
To their astonishment, Captain Liao suddenly slapped his own forehead, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then fixed his gaze on the four suspects for an extended period.
His expression shifted from shock to surprise and finally transformed into sheer delight.
“Oh my goodness, am I dreaming?”
“These individuals you captured today…”
“I can’t believe it, Su Xuan! You have some unbelievable luck…”
“Am I not dreaming?”
Captain Liao was becoming so excited that he was about to topple over.
His excitement left everyone bewildered, and the members of the anti-pickpocketing team were particularly puzzled.
“Captain Liao, are you okay? Why are you so thrilled?”
“Could it be that these four people also…?”
“Could it be that someone dining with Zhou Qiang is another Thief King?”
“If that’s the case, then Su Xuan is truly incredible…”
“Let’s not jump to conclusions, but they must be closely connected since they were dining together.”
“My goodness, so who exactly is it?”
The members of the anti-pickpocketing team speculated, with a few of them having a hunch but hesitating to voice their suspicions.
While they had started to figure it out, they still weren’t entirely sure.
After all, these individuals had been audacious in the world of pickpockets for so many years. How could they be caught so suddenly?
Finally, it was Captain Liao who slammed the table and spoke excitedly.
“Be bold, take a wild guess!”
“These four are infamous thief kings from other cities!”
“Don’t you find them familiar?”
Captain Liao pointed at one of them and said, “Haven’t I shown you the wanted list not long ago? Isn’t this the thief king wanted in Xiang City?”
“And this one… is the thief king from He City!”
“This one… the thief king from Chuan City!”
“And this one… don’t you remember our local thief king from before? We chased after him for so many years, and now you’ve all forgotten!?”
Captain Liao looked at his subordinates with a mix of frustration and determination.
Amid the astonished gazes of the anti-pickpocketing team members, the four men whose identities were revealed showed signs of despair.
Previously, they had some hope that these people would not be able to recognize them, so they were prepared to run away when the time came. But now…
After their identities were exposed, the thief kings knew that they were truly in trouble this time.
All eyes focused on Zhou Qiang.
They all thought, if it weren’t for that jerk insisting on coming here and inviting them for dinner…
How could they have possibly ended up caught here?
They never expected that after eluding the police for so many years, they would finally get caught.
That damned Zhou Qiang!
It was all Zhou Qiang’s fault that they were caught this time!
On the other side, when they heard Captain Liao reveal the identities of so many criminals, the anti-pickpocketing team members were stunned!
Although they had speculated before that these four individuals might have complicated backgrounds, it was just a guess.
