Seeing the man climbing into the passenger seat, Su Xuan extended his hand and secured the seatbelt for him. Only then did he climb out of the back seat.
Zhao Ruoxi, who had been gripping the driver’s seat door anxiously, noticed him emerging and immediately waved, her voice filled with concern.
“Su Xuan… Are you okay? Just now…”
She hesitated as she spoke, aware that Su Xuan’s line of work was rather unusual, so she wasn’t sure if she should ask. However, she couldn’t help but feel curious.
It was only now that Zhao Ruoxi realized that Su Xuan hadn’t initially planned to come to the station with her. It was only after the driver arrived that he changed his mind. Could it be that he had already sensed something was off with the driver at that time?
This thought crossed Zhao Ruoxi’s mind, but she didn’t express it. Su Xuan nodded and spoke in a soothing tone.
“Don’t worry; everything’s fine now. This guy gave me an odd feeling, but 1 wasn’t sure, so I decided to join you in the car.”
“I’m glad I did.”
“The rest is in my hands. You can go to work now.”
Su Xuan’s voice was gentle, and it dispelled her worries and concerns. Zhao Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, she promptly nodded.
“Then I’ll head to work now.”
“Um… if you need anything…”
She hesitated for a moment.
“…feel free to call me anytime.”
Zhao Ruoxi couldn’t help but express her gratitude, even though under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have been so straightforward, even if she did have feelings for Su Xuan. Today, Su Xuan had essentially saved her life.
Zhao Ruoxi felt a surge of shyness after speaking those words and, without waiting for Su Xuan’s response, turned to leave. Su Xuan stood there, mouth agape. He called out just as she was about to enter the station.
“I understand!”
Hearing his words, her departing figure paused for a moment and then disappeared at an even faster pace.
Su Xuan watched for a while before he snapped out of it. He turned back to the rideshare car and the person sitting in the front passenger seat.
He heaved a sigh. He had initially planned to take the day off and visit the Jiangcheng police station. But now…
It seemed he’d better return to the anti-pickpocket team!
With this thought in mind, Su Xuan got into the driver’s seat and inserted the key. He headed back to the anti-pickpocket team.
When Su Xuan drove the rideshare car into the anti-pickpocket team, the few officers who were still on duty were stunned. Even Captain Liao seemed bewildered.
“Isn’t… 1 gave you a day off. Why are you back?” Captain Liao questioned. “And why are you driving a car? 1 remember you took our police car here. Where did you get this car?”
Captain Liao glanced at the rideshare car and felt that something was off.
“Is that…?” A thought popped into his mind, but he wasn’t quite sure.
Captain Liao looked at Su Xuan, waiting for an explanation.
Su Xuan shrugged and pointed to the suspect in the passenger seat. “1 was about to leave, and 1 called a rideshare. Once I got in, 1 sensed something was off about this guy. Turns out, he’s a suspect. So, I brought him back.”
Su Xuan’s words were casual, but the officers listening couldn’t contain themselves.
Are you kidding us?
We usually have to search high and low to find a suspect, and you just pick one up in a rideshare?
There’s a world of difference between people!
“Wow, Su Xuan, you’re amazing!” Captain Liao finally reacted and exclaimed.
Previously, during this week, Su Xuan had apprehended numerous criminals. Captain Liao thought Su Xuan might have some special talent for attracting criminals. But at that time, he didn’t think much of it.
Now that Su Xuan managed to stumble upon a suspect even while taking a rideshare, Captain Liao believed his earlier conjecture was accurate. Su Xuan was indeed a magnet for criminals, born to do this job.
Captain Liao couldn’t have foreseen that Su Xuan, who had just returned for a brief rest, would come back with such a surprise. In the face of the astonished and envious looks from his colleagues, Su Xuan nonchalantly stated, “Captain Liao, I’m handing this suspect over to you. He doesn’t appear to be an ordinary thief, and you’ll need to investigate further.”
“I’m planning to take a rest; this week has been quite exhausting.”
After Su Xuan finished speaking, Captain Liao patted his shoulder. Captain Liao, who was usually very serious, had a rare smile, and his gaze toward Su Xuan was exceptionally gentle. “Let us handle this suspect. You’ve had a tough week; you should take a good rest.”
“Whether it’s the airport or the train station tomorrow, it’s your call.”
Su Xuan nodded in response. He didn’t linger at the anti-pickpocket team and headed back to the temporary dormitory. As for the suspect, Su Xuan genuinely didn’t bother with him. According to the data on Su Xuan’s radar, this guy was a serial offender among rideshare drivers.
What does that mean?
It refers to rideshare drivers who take advantage of lone female passengers. This was why Su Xuan decided to follow Zhao Ruoxi, and now that he had brought the suspect back, he believed that, with Captain Liao’s abilities, they could gather enough evidence against this driver.
Next, Su Xuan planned to examine the system. Since he had decided not to return to his hometown, he swiftly made his way to the temporary dormitory and then opened the system panel.
In the past week, Su Xuan had apprehended not just a few, but hundreds of criminals. While most of them were petty thieves, there were also a few major criminals among them.
After the system upgrade, the points he earned for capturing criminals had doubled, based on the level of their criminality. Small gains eventually added up, just like how small streams converge to form a river.
Su Xuan’s points had reached an all-time high, well into five digits.
The sudden feeling of getting rich excited Su Xuan, and he immediately started exploring the system’s marketplace.
Compared to the entire marketplace, his five-digit score felt somewhat inadequate. Nevertheless, Su Xuan was content.
His first move was to upgrade his Sin Radar. The Sin Radar he was currently using could only detect criminals within a range of about 55 meters. It worked fine when patrolling inside subway cars, but it might fall short if he had to go to the airport or a high-speed rail station.
Although he was catching many criminals now, who would complain about having excellent performance?
Besides, it wasn’t like criminals were easy to come by.
Su Xuan had come to realize the importance of the detection radar, so he didn’t hesitate to upgrade it by three whole levels.
[Notification: Would you like to upgrade the Sin Radar? Note: You now have 5 upgrade opportunities. Upgrade cost: 10,000 points.]
Just as Su Xuan had this thought, the system’s voice chimed in.
Glancing at his newly acquired five-digit score, Su Xuan couldn’t help but wonder aloud, “System, are you essentially a middleman making a profit on the price difference?”
[Notification: Congratulations, Host, for upgrading the Sin Radar. Deducting 10,000 points. The radar’s current detection diameter is 180 meters.]
Su Xuan: How do you dissect a system, again?
