Chapter 94: Well, It Seems Like We’ve Stumbled Upon the Thief King’s Lair!

“Old Zhou, why did you suddenly come to Xiangjiang City? Weren’t you doing well up north? Your sudden appearance is quite surprising, haha!”
“Could it be that you thought you couldn’t make it up there and decided to come find us for shelter?”
“Oh, well, if you put it that way, it’s not impossible. We’ve got some money for you…”
Inside the hotpot chicken restaurant, there were only two occupied tables—one where Su Xuan and Zheng Wenjie sat and the other at the round table where the criminal Zhou Qiang was seated.
Several burly men entered the restaurant one by one. They approached Zhou Qiang, chatting as they took their seats at the round table, clearly showing a very familiar demeanor with him.
Su Xuan sighed involuntarily when he heard their conversation.
Why did this criminal have to be named Zhou Qiang? It reminded him of the Zhou Qiang back at the Jiangcheng Police Station. Fortunately, the person by his side wasn’t Zhou Qiang; otherwise, it would be Zhou Qiang arresting Zhou Qiang, which would be quite comical.
Ahem.
“Su Xuan, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to eat?”
Just as Su Xuan was lost in thought, Zheng Wenjie picked up two pieces of chicken from the hotpot and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Well, what we’re doing now isn’t great…”
“How about we eat quickly and get back to work? Otherwise, if the captain finds out, we’re both done for…”
“What are you looking at?”
“Hurry up and eat!”
Zheng Wenjie took a bite of the chicken and turned to see Su Xuan’s gaze wandering toward the lively group of people.
“What are you looking at over there? Is there something going on?”
As a seasoned member of the Anti-Pickpocketing Team, Zheng Wenjie’s first instinct when faced with a situation was to consider whether there might be a criminal involved.
He subconsciously looked in that direction but was promptly pulled back by Su Xuan.
“Oh…”
Zheng Wenjie was about to say something when he heard Su Xuan’s words.
“Brother Zheng, don’t look over there.”
“I suspect there are criminals there, and quite a few of them.”
“We’re only two people right now, and we can’t afford to have them discover our identities.”
“I’ve already notified Captain Liao. Let’s see what they do. They’re eating and drinking, so they won’t leave in the short term…”
“We’ll keep an eye on them here…”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wenjie was taken aback. However, he subconsciously picked up a piece of meat from the hotpot and regained a calm demeanor on his face.
If it weren’t for Su Xuan watching him closely, it would have been hard to tell that he had just been checking whether there were any criminals over there.
Though he had these thoughts in mind, Su Xuan soon changed his expression.
They ate meat, chatted, and occasionally clinked glasses, looking no different from ordinary diners.
However, only Su Xuan knew the truth. Under his radar detection, everyone at that table was highlighted in red!
Initially, there was only one criminal, Zhou Qiang. When Su Xuan saw him ordering food, he suspected that he might be calling other criminals over. That’s why Su Xuan didn’t take action right away.
But now, as the criminals who had been eating meat and drinking at Zhou Qiang’s table approached, Su Xuan was even more excited.
The reason was simple: all the people at Zhou Qiang’s table had high sin values according to his radar.
What was strange, though, was that all of them had the same crime listed: theft!
With such high sin values and all of them being thieves…
Su Xuan took a sip of his drink, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
