Chapter 86: The Chief Disciple of the Thief Sect
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a saying.
The encirclement of the masters would definitely fail!
If the little thief died accidentally after reading the police station’s report, then the little thief must have understood that the police station already knew that the murder case and the theft case were separate.
The police station’s announcement would give this little thief a thought.
It was similar to the illusion of “She likes me!”, “I can counterattack!”, and “My phone is vibrating!” in reality.
After all, if the police reported an accidental death, the hopeless thief would hide until the limelight passed. Only then it would be possible to sell the stolen items.
But now that he had given this thief a chance, he still had time to deal with the stolen goods.
When Su Meng heard her master’s explanation, she could not help but blink. Her eyes were filled with admiration, and then there was a hint of confusion.
“But, Master, how do you know that this little thief will definitely do as you think?”
As Su Meng spoke, she said with some confusion, “What if that little thief is hiding and waiting for ten days to half a month, or even longer, to sell the stolen goods?”
This was entirely possible.
Anyway, the thing was already in his hands, and because the surveillance camera was broken, there were no clues at the police station.
What if this little thief was hiding?
Xu Bai could tell that Su Meng was worried. He smiled and looked at Su Meng.
“Mengmeng, have you ever been a thief?”
“What?”
Su Meng blinked. “Of course not.” Stealing hearts…
It shouldn’t be considered stealing.
After she finished speaking, she thought to herself. Then, she reacted and looked at Xu Bai suspiciously. “Master, could it be that you’ve been one before?”
Xu Bai smiled but did not say anything.
Not only had he been.
Furthermore…
His practical experience was also quite rich.
Just as Xu Bai had said before, he had 20 years of experience accepting missions. Moreover, in these 20 years, he only had one requirement for missions.
He would not reject anyone.
As long as he saw a bright exclamation mark above someone’s head, Xu Bai could not help but walk over and ask if they needed any help.
When he was five years old..
No, it should be when he was six years old.
At that time, Xu Bai was playing outside the gate of the community. From afar, he saw an old man in a military coat with a mustache leaning against a telephone pole. The exclamation mark on his head was very conspicuous. With just one look, he was sure that this guy’s experience was quite abundant.
Therefore, Xu Bai ran to that guy and asked him if he needed help.
At first, that person was shocked. Then, when he saw that the person was a six-year-old child who looked very obedient and handsome, he instantly lost his vigilance.
However, in the beginning, that person said that he did not need Xu Bai’s help. However, Xu Bai was not the kind of person who liked to give up. Hence, when he saw that Xu Bai was about to pull the adults in the community over to testify for his kindness, that person was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled Xu Bai aside. Then, he tried to ask Xu Bai if he could go to Room 802 on the eighth floor of Block 1 to see if he was home.
Xu Bai immediately patted his chest and agreed.
Later on…
In return for the Mission Reward, Xu Bai obtained the skill “Paperclip
Lockpicking—Blue”. The next day, Xu Bai also learned from his neighbor that 802 had encountered a thief. However, Xu Bai did not say it.
Of course.
This was not because Xu Bai was afraid that he would be in trouble if he said it, but because just as Xu Bai was about to say it, someone from the police station came and pulled the couple from 802 back to the police station.
It was said that someone had already provided evidence that the two of them had embezzled the kindergarten building funds and used them as substandard goods.
It was obvious.
This was the work of the thief. When the people in the neighborhood heard the news, they immediately clapped and cheered. They also praised the thief who anonymously gave evidence.
Thieving might not be a good profession, but Xu Bai felt that there was no distinction between noble and low professions. If a thief could obtain the praise of so many people, perhaps he was a thief but not a bad person.
This was also the reason why Xu Bai gave up on saying that person’s name. In the future, he even cooperated with this person many times and infiltrated the houses of many bad people to serve justice.
That person had taught Xu Bai a lot of industry knowledge. Moreover, when he was drunk, he tried to persuade Xu Bai to join their thief sect.
Of course, Xu Bai did not agree.
What kind of joke was that? He just wanted to do a mission, that was all. He wasn’t here to be their disciple. Xu Bai immediately refused.
In short…
Xu Bai did not understand how the thief’s mind worked, but he was quite familiar with the thief’s mind.
When Su Meng went downstairs to buy milk tea, she thought of this old man and found an acquaintance to ask for his address.
When Xu Bai went overseas to attend university, this old fellow, who claimed to be the 53rd generation sect master of the Miracle Hands Empty Sect, also chose to retire. Relying on his reputation and resources in the industry, he became a professional broker and opened a civilian pawnshop to lead a carefree life with his granddaughter.
Half an hour later.
The prosecutor of the District Attorney of Feng City brought two District Attorney agents to the 38th Precinct. From Su Meng’s hands, he took away the still-dazed Huang Niansheng, who was connected to the surveillance cameras in the interrogation room, and the case information.
The next second after the District Attorney took the criminal suspect from Su Meng.
An interface appeared before Xu Bai l s eyes.
Ding!
[Mission Completed: The Renhe Hall Case.]
[Status: “Completed”]
[Difficulty: “B”]
[Reward: Experience points*2400 (Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique Bonus: 400)”, “Skill Experience*2000”, “Game Currency*500”]
Done.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and thought to himself. He looked at Su Meng.
“Mengmeng.”
Su Meng jogged over. “Master.”
Xu Bai said, “Let’s get off work and come back tomorrow.”
Su Meng looked up at the clock on the wall. “It’s only four o’clock, Master.”
“It’s fine. There’s no point in wasting time here.”
Xu Bai said.
He was a front-line field agent. When there was no case, he had to clock in on time. However, when there was a case that needed to be solved, he could clock in flexibly.
Su Meng thought for a moment and rejected her master’s good intentions. She expressed that she would stay and accompany Chen Shan to look at the surveillance footage again. Perhaps she could find some clues about this little thief.
Chen Shan rejected her again and again, but he could not resist Su Meng’s good intentions and could only agree with tears in his eyes.
After all, he had found three more gentlemen’s websites today. He planned to work overtime at night and criticize them before shutting down these three gentlemen’s websites.
I only bought three packets of tissues this afternoon.
Chen Shan agreed to Su Meng’s kindness with tears in his eyes as he wailed in his heart.
Xu Bai ignored Chen Shan’s pleading gaze and smiled. He did not say anything. Instead, he grabbed his coat from the seat and walked straight to the entrance of the branch office.
After a while.
A blue pickup truck that belonged to Xu Bai’s family drove out of the branch office after a tragic car accident five years ago but had been repaired.
“It’s out.”
“Come on.”
“Got it.”
Chu Ting, who had been sitting in the front passenger seat of the black SUV not far from the entrance of the 38th Precinct, saw the target pickup truck drive out. Her eyes lit up and she patted Zhang Hua, who was dozing off in the driver’s seat.
Zhang Hua shuddered and instinctively started the car. He pulled the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and hurriedly followed.
A minute later.
A patrol car drove out of the entrance of the 38th Precinct.
“Sir.”
The probationary agent in the patrol car looked at Xu Bai, who was sitting in the driver’s seat and removing his phone card. “Which way are we driving?”
Xu Bai closed his phone and looked up at the probationary agent. He smiled and said, “Just send me to the subway station.”
The probationary agent nodded.
He still didn’t know why Homeland Security had sent someone to follow him like protective surveillance.
But..
Team Leader Zhou’s advice was very useful.
He now knew that the person following him was from Homeland Security, so he definitely couldn’t kill him. However, no one had stipulated that the person being followed should obediently let others follow him after knowing that he was being followed.
Therefore, Xu Bai accepted Team Leader Zhou’s suggestion and found a probationary agent just now. He asked him to drive his car back to Old Factory Street while he followed another probationary agent’s car to the subway station.
After three train stops.
Xu Bai walked out of the subway station and walked toward the commercial street not far away.
The commercial street was bustling with people.
It was very lively.
It was also very crowded.
There seemed to be some activity in this commercial street today, attracting a large number of people. At a glance, it was like a sea of people.
Xu Bai frowned and joined the crowd.
He was usually unwilling to go to crowded places. Even on weekends, he rarely came to such places where there were too many people.
In the past, Xu Bai was willing because his sister liked to bring him to the mall and buy her own things so that Xu Bai could sell bills for her.
Bang!
Just as Xu Bai recalled the scene of him bringing his sister to the mall in the past, a woman walking over from the opposite side accidentally bumped into Xu Bai.
“Ah!” The woman who almost lost her balance and fell into Xu Bai’s arms hurriedly stabilized herself. She looked at Xu Bai and said, “I’m sorry.”
Xu Bai looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of him who was wearing sportswear and had a ponytail. He smiled and asked, “Are you alright?”
At this moment, the woman looked up and saw Xu Bai’s appearance clearly. Her expression was a little dazed.
He was so handsome!
The next second.
The woman came back to her senses and blushed slightly. She passed by Xu Bai and joined the crowd behind her. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared.
The corners of Xu Bai’s lips curled up slightly. He waved his right hand and looked at the pink wallet in his hand. The girl’s aura was very obvious.
It was impolite not to reciprocate.
After all…
The woman had also taken his wallet away.
