Chapter 90: Don’t Hurry, Criminals Will Eventually Appear!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Just as Su Xuan had guessed, this man in the suit indeed had a collector’s obsession, especially when it came to his past misdeeds.
He had an unwillingness to forget, even if those actions might have been illegal.
Back then, he was indeed driven by poverty and desperation when he passed by a bag filled with gold and jewelry.
In the brief moment when the owner turned away, he seized the bag and made a run for it.
The excitement and adrenaline rush he felt in that moment were unforgettable, even after all these years.
Soon after, the money in that bag ran out, and he found himself spending recklessly without regard for the value of what he had stolen.
It was as if he had become an overnight millionaire, losing his sensitivity to these possessions the moment he acquired them.
He spent extravagantly until he realized that he was running out of money.
By then, it was too late, and he had already embarked on an irreversible path.
From that moment on, he lost track of how much he had stolen because each time he ran out of money, he borrowed a bit more from others, and then a bit more…
It wasn’t until the Anti-Pickpocketing Team sprang into action that he had a wake-up call.
He couldn’t continue like this, so he decided to abandon the stolen items, making it look like he had found them, and returned them to an elderly man who was frantically searching for his belongings.
Little did he know that this idea would lead to a job opportunity. It turned out that the elderly man he helped was the father of a CEO of a publicly traded company. Inside the lost wallet, there was a photo of the elderly man and his wife.
Grateful for his help, the CEO’s father, upon learning that the man was looking for a job, immediately offered him a position in his company.
So, from that day on, the small-time thief who had spent over a year on the streets became an employee of a publicly traded corporation.
More than a year had passed since that incident, and he had long forgotten that he had once been a thief!
However, the photos he had taken after stealing things and before selling them were still stored in his phone.
Even when he changed phones, they remained in his cloud photo album.
Occasionally, in the depths of the night, he would reminisce about his lost youth.
But little did he know that this hobby would be his downfall!
The moment the man in the suit thought about the photos in his phone’s gallery, he had already lost hope in life.
Indeed, when Zheng Wenjie saw the incriminating photos spanning over a year in the man’s camera roll, his sharp gaze immediately shifted toward him.
The man in the suit held his head in his hands, admitting to the charges.
As both criminals sat there, Su Xuan and Zheng Wenjie exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
When the subway reached the next station, Zheng Wenjie directly handed over the two criminals to their waiting colleagues.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xuan once again headed inside the subway car…
The colleague who took over the criminals at this point was quite bewildered. “Oh my, we’ve only just started, and you’ve already caught so many criminals?” “Already two in just the morning, do you still want us to have a good day??” “Seriously, this is too intense! Can we catch a breath?”
Hearing this, Zheng Wenjie also felt helpless.
“These are all caught by Su Xuan. To be honest, 1 just tagged along.”
“Damn, don’t act all innocent after taking advantage. If I could patrol with Su
Xuan, I’d be laughing my head off!”
“Get lost, you’re so annoying!”
The colleague from the Anti-Pickpocketing Team said, shooing Zheng Wenjie away with his hand.
With his moment of boasting done, Zheng Wenjie laughed heartily and left the scene, entering the subway car as it was about to depart.
Meanwhile, Su Xuan had already made his way to the subway car at the front end.
He walked through several train cars continuously without encountering any criminals. The symbols on his sin radar were all green.
Su Xuan’s eyes were getting tired from scanning.
Finally finding an empty spot, Su Xuan took a seat.
After swaying along from the end of the train, he was quite exhausted, so he decided to take a break.
Clearly, from the journey so far, it was evident that there were no criminals on this subway train, at least for the time being.
For public safety, this was a good thing.
But for Su Xuan, it wasn’t.
The two criminals he had just caught had only earned him a meager one hundred or so points.
When you’re broke, you really feel poor.
Su Xuan glanced at the pitiful three-digit number in his points system and looked away.
Just at that moment, the subway pulled into another station.
Su Xuan could sense that upon arrival, many passengers inside the train car began to stream out, leaving it mostly empty.
This left Su Xuan somewhat puzzled. He raised his eyes and realized that this station was “Moke Station.” Su Xuan immediately understood.
The area around this subway station was filled with office buildings, and most of the passengers were white-collar workers commuting to work.
No wonder there were so many passengers getting off here.
Taking advantage of the sparse crowd, Zheng Wenjie finally caught up to Su Xuan.
Seeing Su Xuan seated there, he immediately approached, looking at Su Xuan with a hint of confusion.
“Su Xuan, are you just going to sit like this? Aren’t you planning to keep looking? Or do you think there are no more criminals on Line 1? Should we switch to another line?”
“We have plenty of subway lines here…”
While speaking, Zheng Wenjie’s gaze scanned the passengers around them.
The train car was already sparsely populated, and he quickly retracted his gaze.
In his view, it seemed like there were no criminals in the train car now, and Su Xuan wasn’t making any moves either.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan quickly opened his Sin Radar. Within the radar’s range, everything inside the train car was revealed.
It was still a sea of green, so green that Su Xuan did not want to eat grass tonight.
“No, let’s wait a bit,” Su Xuan replied, taking a bottle of water from his pocket and taking a sip. After a busy morning like this, he was quite thirsty.
Seeing Su Xuan’s actions, Zheng Wenjie chuckled. “Why didn’t 1 think of that?
I’ll buy a drink and stash it in my pocket later!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan gave a nonchalant nod.
Not long after, the train arrived at a new station. The passengers, already sparse in the car, were now gathered near the doors, clearly getting ready to disembark.
Su Xuan remained still.
Zheng Wenjie gave him a quick glance, growing somewhat anxious.
“Su Xuan, are you sure we shouldn’t change to another train? We’ve already swept through this one.”
Su Xuan shook his head without explaining, simply patting Zheng Wenjie’s shoulder to reassure him. There was no need to rush; once the current passengers left, new ones would board.
As expected, after the passengers at the door had departed, new ones entered the car. Though their numbers were few, it didn’t mean there were no potential culprits.
**[Ding! Detected one suspect. Please apprehend immediately!]**
**[Name: Zhou Xiaopao, Age: 23, Sin Value: 56, Crime: Theft!]**
The red alert and the system announcement chimed simultaneously. Su Xuan paused in the act of opening his water bottle, and he surreptitiously raised his eyes, concealed beneath his bangs.
With a sharp gaze, he locked onto a passenger sitting across from him!
