Su Xuan considered the situation and then glanced at the monologues on the Sin Radar.
While the Sin Monologue provided information about the crimes committed by these individuals and helped identify the nature of their offenses, apprehending them was no easy task.
He had thought that with the Sin Monologue, he could effortlessly catch these criminals. However, he had come to realize that imagination was always rosier than reality.
To avoid arousing suspicion among the criminals, Su Xuan left the service counter and moved to a different location.
The airport’s bustling hall was crowded, making it challenging to find an available seat. Fortunately, he spotted someone leaving, creating an empty seat.
Su Xuan occupied the vacant spot, yawned, and appeared like any other passenger engrossed in his mobile phone.
He was, in fact, playing a game on his phone, but his attention was focused on the Sin Radar, closely monitoring the green markers. One of those markers was right next to him.
That’s why he had chosen to sit here.
One of the green-marked individuals was preparing to steal from others. While playing with his phone, Su Xuan had his peripheral vision trained on this particular criminal. He was ready to take action if necessary.
This area was close to a corridor, and if the criminal made a move, they might dash towards the corridor to escape the crowd and the watchful eye of surveillance cameras.
As expected, the criminal was a man in his thirties or forties, sporting a black duckbill cap with the brim pulled low over his eyebrows. A mask concealed most of his face, exposing only his eyes.
His eyes gleamed with greed as he fixated on a middle-aged woman’s handbag, with a corner of her wallet peeking out.
The lady was deep in conversation with others, completely oblivious that her wallet had become a tempting target.
The lady was too preoccupied with gossip to notice that her wallet was now the center of someone’s attention.
While the lady continued chatting with those around her, the man quietly approached her. He shifted his position frequently in the crowded environment. If Su Xuan hadn’t been monitoring him closely, it would have been challenging to spot his movements.
The man was now beside the lady. Suddenly, he extended his hand, swiftly and silently. With two fingers, he reached out.
In a split second, her wallet, which had been inside her handbag, was now in the man’s grasp.
With a flick of his wrist, the wallet had vanished from sight.
It was evident that he had concealed it somewhere.
Watching the lady, who had yet to realize her wallet was missing, the man cast her a glance and prepared to leave.
However, before he could make an excited exit, a cold sensation enveloped his wrist.
He lowered his gaze to see a silver bracelet secured around his wrist.
The man was baffled by the sudden turn of events.
What was this?
His attention had been solely on how to swipe a wallet, and he didn’t notice that someone else was watching him.
It was like a situation where someone trying to steal becomes the target of another’s theft.
Seeing the silver handcuff on his wrist and realizing Su Xuan, who was blocking his escape, was an undercover police officer, the man knew he was in trouble.
At this moment, he understood that he was in deep trouble.
In this public space, the man didn’t resist. However, he was not ready to give up easily.
He raised his head and was about to say something, but Su Xuan swiftly intervened.
“Stay quiet. Don’t speak or move. We’ve caught you red-handed. What else do you want to say?”
Su Xuan snorted and, without hesitation, handcuffed the man’s other wrist, pulled down his sleeves to cover the handcuffs, and exposed the pocket on his chest.
He said coldly, “Don’t even think about running. Your face has already been captured. If you want to become a fugitive, you better make a run for it now.”
With a brief pause, Su Xuan added, “I’ll even allow you a head start of thirty-nine meters.” 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The man, with both hands handcuffed:
Are you speaking human language? If I dare to run, I’ll be tackled in front of everyone in a split second!
After all, it was at the airport.
Even if he was caught by someone, they wouldn’t dare to tackle him in front of so many people. Otherwise, where would they put their face?
Realizing this, the criminal reluctantly nodded and said, “Officer, don’t worry. I won’t expose your identity.”
Looking at Su Xuan, who appeared to be an ordinary person, he guessed that he must be an undercover cop.
He voluntarily handed over the wallet he had just stolen, his face earnest. “I swear!”
Hearing this, Su Xuan wasn’t sure whether to believe him or not. He pointed at his chest recorder, giving the criminal a warning glance, and then turned away.
The lady he had saved was still engrossed in her gossip with others, completely unaware that her wallet had been stolen.
Su Xuan reached out and tapped the lady’s shoulder. She was a bit startled, as she was immersed in the gossip. She looked back with some discomfort.
However, her expression changed quickly as she noticed that Su Xuan was quite good-looking. Her previously irritated gaze transformed into a friendly one as she asked with a smiling face, “Hey, young man, what can 1 help you with?”
“Auntie…”
Su Xuan took out the wallet and was about to speak.
The lady, upon seeing the wallet in Su Xuan’s hand, was taken aback.
“Oh my, young man, your wallet looks just like mine,” she exclaimed.
Hearing this, Su Xuan shook his head in exasperation and looked at the lady’s scrutinizing gaze, which seemed to regard him as a thief. He sighed and said, “Auntie, is there any chance that this wallet belongs to you?”
Upon hearing this, the lady quickly bent down to check her handbag. Sure enough, she found it empty, and her wallet was nowhere to be seen.
The lady finally realized the situation. She thanked Su Xuan profusely, “Oh my, young man, I can’t thank you enough! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even noticed my wallet was missing. Thank you!”
Seeing the lady’s misunderstanding, Su Xuan sighed, “Ma’am, it was this man who took your wallet. I’m an undercover officer from the anti-pickpocket team, and I’m on a mission. Please keep it discreet. Now that your belongings are returned, we may need your cooperation to make a statement. Some of our colleagues will arrive soon. Please assist when they do..”
