To those around, a man dashed out quickly, while Xu Lin’s figure seed to blur into a white shadow.
“Fast!”
Accompanied by a scream, Xu Lin kicked the man in the butt, sending him crashing into the roadside greenery.
Xu Lin imdiately moved in, grabbed the man by his clothes, and yanked him out. He pinned him down on the roadside, grabbing his hands to restrain him.
This way, he could prevent a repeat of the last incident, where the man had suddenly pulled out a weapon and attacked.
The man wasn’t very strong; Xu Lin was able to easily hold him down with one hand.
“What are you doing!?”
“Why are you running?”
“If you chase , of course, I’ll run away!”
The young man shouted a couple of tis, and Xu Lin smiled. Acting anymore would be pointless. Xu Lin then started patting down the man’s body, who began to struggle more fiercely.
At this mont, two police officers arrived, followed by a crowd of people all holding up their phones and snapping pictures.
Xu Lin took out a mask from his pocket and put it on, then looked at the officers.
“Officers, I just deliberately said that there was a password in the wallet, and he started to slowly evacuate, so I tried to chase him.”
“If you chase , of course, I’ll have to run!”
“You have nothing to hide, why are you running?” The people around also started to cheer and shout.
“I just saw him acting strangely, with his hat pressed down. I can tell at first glance that he is not a good person.”
“How do I not look like a good person!” The young man with the hat shouted.
“Boss, let him go first.”
The two police officers looked at the young man pinned on the ground and Xu Lin, who was on top of him.
They were seeing such skill for the first ti—so much more efficient at catching thieves than they were.
They needed multiple officers working together because they didn’t have such abilities. They hadn’t expected this seemingly thin and weak young man is actually a martial artist.
“Alright.”
Xu Lin released his hold. With so many people gathered around, the guy couldn’t escape now. Plus, the officer with the armband had already taken his photo.
“What’s your na?”
“Wang He.”
“ID card.”
“Forgot it.”
“Hmm… So why were you running?”
“I was simply frightened.”
“Let’s check him.”
One of the officers crouched down and began patting down the young man, who now allowed the search.
In the end, they only found a phone and a wallet. The wallet contained a few dozen bucks, a bus card, and a water card—nothing else.
“……”
“See, I didn’t steal anything. If you don’t pay 10,000 yuan in ntal damages, you won’t be leaving!”
“You’re blackmailing people in front of us? It’s normal to be misunderstood if you ran away on your own. Get up, and if you find any injuries, you can ask for dical expenses.”
The officer gave him a stern look and sighed.
Given how obviously he was running away, why wasn’t there any evidence? He shouldn’t have had the chance to hide the wallet.
“Shall we take him back to the station?”
“Why should I go? I haven’t committed any cri!”
“You have to know that in most cases, the suspect will return to the scene of his cri, so it must be you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about.”
Xu Lin looked at the other party’s anxious face and knew that his guess was definitely correct.
Even if he was wrong, it didn’t matter; the fact that the guy ran ant he was up to sothing.
At this mont, Xu Lin suddenly rembered that he had glanced at the system mall at noon, and it seed that a tracing talisman had been refreshed.
Could he use it?
He imdiately walked to the side, opened the system, and spent 100 points to buy one.
It still needed sothing related to the owner, so he hurried over to the lady.
“Can you give sothing you have on you?”
“I have a tissue, is that okay?”
“Sure.”
Xu Lin took the tissue and lightly tapped it. The talisman paper that only he could see turned into light spots and dispersed. It drifted not far away, and Xu Lin imdiately followed.
“Where are you going, sir?”
“When I was running just now, I seed to see where he hid his things.”
“Huh?”
The young man sitting on the ground was also stunned. He looked at Xu Lin’s back and imdiately stood up.
“What are you doing?”
“Can’t I go over and take a look?”
Afterwards, Xu Lin and the lady were in the middle, and the crowd moved on both sides. Several traffic police also ca over to maintain order because it affected the sidewalk.
“Are we there yet?”
“We’re here.”
Xu Lin glanced at the nearby greenery, then looked at the young man surrounded by two police officers, who appeared quite relaxed.
Could it be that he was wrong? Why was he so confident?
Xu Lin walked over and did not deliberately turn over that side. He started looking from the side first, and then pretended to touch sothing accidentally.
He pulled a bag out of the bushes with a sudden tug, and several policen imdiately surrounded him.
“Hold on, let open it.”
One of the officers put on gloves. After all, this involved 60,000 yuan—no small matter.
They might even need to use fingerprint analysis.
He crouched down and opened the black plastic bag, revealing two phones and two wallets: one yellow and one black leather, with one phone being an Apple.
“Oh my god… There’s no explaining this, is there?”
“Kid, you’re caught red-handed. Cuff him!”
“Hey, my wallet!” A middle-aged man shouted from the crowd.
“Hold on a mont. What’s in your wallet?”
The officer glanced at the items and asked, since it couldn’t be claid without confirmation.
“My ID card, so cash, and neighborhood access card, water card, bus card.”
“Wu Xiongho?”
“Yes, it matches your appearance. Just wait a mont.”
“Alright, I didn’t even realize it was missing.”
“That phone is mine!”
“What’s the lock screen?”
“Transforrs.”
“Okay.”
But the young man still protested, “Can you let go? How can you say these things are stolen by ?”
“People saw you.”
“You believe him if he says so? Should I say he stole it?”
“I can open a store with my pocket money, do I need to steal things?” Xu Lin said contemptuously, but he also understood the other party’s fearless thinking.
He must have been wearing gloves or sothing so his fingerprints wouldn’t stick on the stolen items, but since he was around, the gloves definitely couldn’t have been thrown far away.
The policeman was also very smart. He stood up imdiately and said, “Go check the nearby trash can!”
Xu Lin noticed the young man’s corner of the mouth twitch upwards slightly and then quickly suppressed it.
Sothing is wrong, isn’t it the gloves? There is sothing wrong with this kid.
Xu Lin had no choice but to spend another 100 points, bought a new talisman, and walked towards him.
“What are you doing?”
“Just borrowing your button for a mont.”
Xu Lin pulled hard and directly ripped off a decorative button on the side of his pocket.
“Hey, officer, he attacked !”
“Shut up.”
At that mont, the officer who had been checking the surveillance footage returned and shook his head.
“Did you see him?”
“I saw him, what’s wrong?” The young man recalled that this guy was quite conspicuous with a hat on.
“Was he carrying anything?”
“No.” He opened his phone and took a look, only to find that there was nothing there. Several people ca over to take a look as well.
But just when everyone was confused, they saw the handso young man move, and everyone was looking at him.
“You’re smart not to wear gloves.”
With that, Xu Lin walked over to the middle-aged man in black clothes, and the young man’s fear grew even more.
Finally, Xu Lin reached behind the middle-aged man and sharply pulled out a long strip of transparent tape.
“Your fingerprints are all over this. What do you have to say now?”
