Chapter 73: Seven or Eight-Year-Old Thief? Captured or not?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The group of officers, after watching Su Xuan leave and seeing Captain Liao engaged in a heated exchange with the leaders of other police stations over the radio, exchanged glances. They picked up the dirt from the floor, arranged it neatly, and then prepared to leave.
After all, waiting here to watch Captain Liao argue with others was not their idea of a good time. They had no interest in getting involved in such a foolish dispute.
Before long, the entire rest area was empty except for Captain Liao. He lowered his voice, which had previously been intentionally amplified, and smiled as he spoke into the radio, “1 never expected that you, old man, would have such good luck. Your subordinate is quite impressive!”
“No need to tell me!” Old Mai snorted. “After all these years, I’ve finally encountered a promising talent. You can forget about trying to snatch him from me!”
“I won’t waste any more time talking to you. I’m busy!” With that, Old Mai unilaterally terminated the communication.
Captain Liao’s mouth twitched slightly as he tucked the radio back into his waist. He glanced at the now-empty duty room and prepared to leave.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Su Xuan had once again descended into the underground.
He had just visited the subway entrance on Line 1, so now he was heading to a different subway entrance. In Su Xuan’s estimation, the criminals should be distributed across various areas. If he could catch so many criminals in the station, there was no reason why the high-speed railway station, being such a large place, wouldn’t have any criminals.
Su Xuan’s thinking was sound, and as he reached the descending staircase, the system’s notifications started ringing in his ears.
[Ding! Detected one criminal!]
[Ding! Detected one criminal!]
[Ding! Detected one criminal!]
The notifications kept coming.
Su Xuan hadn’t even seen the red markers yet when he was startled by the system’s alert tone. He instinctively looked up.
Well, well!
Five red circles had converged in one place!
It looked like a coordinated criminal operation.
With this in mind, Su Xuan squinted his eyes and immediately retreated from the elevator, finding a secluded spot. He picked up his radio.
“Calling Captain Liao! Calling Captain Liao! I’ve spotted several criminals heading toward the exit of Line 3 subway station!”
“I can’t handle them alone, and I need reinforcements!”
As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, the officers on the other end of the radio were once again stunned!
No way.
It had only been a short while. Those officers who had come to take over probably hadn’t even left yet, and Su Xuan had already caught more criminals? “No way, Su Xuan, are you some kind of prodigy?”
“It’s only been a short time since I left with my team!”
“Yeah, hold on, I’ll move the suspects over there first…”
“How did you know that group of people were criminals? You’re amazing… I’m coming to provide backup!”
Voices of several officers immediately came through the radio.
Not only the three officers who had come to take over earlier but also other officers who were relatively close to the location were rushing over.
Of course, Su Xuan wouldn’t participate in this operation.
He was still undercover and had just arrived at the station. Being an unfamiliar face, he could easily blend into the crowd while discreetly checking for criminals. If he were exposed, it would hinder the operation.
Su Xuan exchanged a glance with the swiftly arriving captain of the
Anti-Pickpocketing Unit and quickly pointed in a direction.
