Chapter 10: Terrifying Thinking, Promoted to Full-Time on the First Day!!!

The capture operation after identifying the suspects was executed swiftly and accurately, leaving no opportunity for the suspects to resist or escape.

Especially when dealing with such dangerous and desperate criminals, major criminal investigation teams do not attempt to arrest them alone. They always coordinate with heavily armed SWAT teams for support.

The sniper bullet that precisely hit the arm of the bald escapee further highlighted this point.

It was better to leave these criminals with just a breath rather than allow them to violently resist and cause unnecessary casualties during the arrest.

…

At midnight.

Dozens of police cars drove back to the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team in an orderly manner.

Aside from the bald escapee, who was undergoing emergency surgery after being shot by a sniper, with several people assigned to guard him, the other two escapees, who were not severely injured, were immediately subjected to an urgent interrogation to extract the details of the case.

In the Criminal Investigation Team office, Wang Hu held two bowls of freshly made instant noodles and looked at Su Ming, who was sitting on a chair and thinking, still somewhat excited.

“Ming Ge, what are you thinking about?”

“Are you still thinking about the capture operation just now? Honestly, who would believe that on your first day at work, you’d be involved in such a large-scale operation?”

“However…”

“It’s hard to believe that these three escapees from Jisheng would come to Magic City. It would’ve been smarter to hide in a smaller, more remote city.”

Su Ming casually took a bowl of noodles, expertly stirred it with a fork, and shook his head in disagreement.

“Huzi, you’re overthinking it.”

“In a small city, with fewer people, these three would stand out more, and they wouldn’t be able to hide as easily as in Magic City.”

“The real key reason they didn’t choose a small city is…”

“They were planning to make money by robbing other criminals and continue their escape, and smaller cities probably don’t have sellers as big as ‘Slim Dog.'”

“Actually.”

“Their first mistake was already made. As escapees who were bound to be caught, they still wanted to rob those addicted to drugs, who are already under heavy surveillance by the police.”

“They probably thought…”

“Robbing criminals wouldn’t attract our attention, and they’d easily get large sums of money to continue running.”

“Little did they know…”

“Forget it, let’s stop talking about it.”

“There are too many issues and mistakes; there’s no need to review it.”

Clearly, Su Ming didn’t know how to evaluate and analyze the escape strategy of these three criminals, given all the mistakes they made—it was just too ridiculous to look at.

If it were him in their place, he could have easily escaped this pursuit with dozens of strategies.

…

Meanwhile, Wang Hu, sitting nearby, was wide-eyed with shock after hearing Su Ming’s analysis and explanation. He didn’t even notice the noodles slipping off his fork.

He took a deep breath, about to say something when Xu Changsheng walked out of the interrogation room, having changed into plain clothes, and casually threw his police uniform onto his seat. He looked at Su Ming and Wang Hu with a smile.

“Quick, get rid of your noodles.”

“Who eats instant noodles on their first day at the Criminal Investigation Team? You’ll have plenty of opportunities to eat them later.”

“Come on, let me treat you to some late-night snacks.”

…

At a night market less than three kilometers from the Criminal Investigation Team.

Xu Changsheng found a spot against the wall, skillfully took out the menu, and casually said, “How’s it going? No dietary restrictions, right?”

“If there’s nothing special, we’ll order as usual, according to our team’s tradition?”

“After a mission, we all like to come here for a late-night snack to relax. After all, in our profession…”

“When things get busy, there’s really no time to eat.”

Sitting across from him, Wang Hu was opening a beer, still curious.

“Brother Sheng, I’m a little curious.”

“Logically, whether it’s Slim Dog or the three escapees, they committed serious crimes, and after this, they’ll probably be convicted.”

“But why…”

“Was the interrogation so fast? It feels like it was over in just a few minutes.”

As their nominal mentor, Xu Changsheng didn’t hide anything related to criminal investigation. He placed the filled-out menu on the table and shook his head.

“Huzi, you’re mistaken.”

“It’s precisely because they committed major crimes, and there’s solid evidence, that the interrogation went so quickly.”

“Except for the bald escapee, who was being treated for his wounds, the other two have already confessed. Or rather…”

“The evidence is so solid they have no room to argue.”

“After Jisheng’s criminal police received the report, they set off immediately and should be arriving by tomorrow morning.”

“At that time, we’ll hand over the three criminals to Jisheng.”

“As for Slim Dog…”

“Although he looks scared stiff, trying to dig up bigger fish won’t be that simple. It will take some time and effort.”

At this point, Su Ming, who had been deep in thought, picked up the conversation.

“I think…”

“Most likely, it’s not that Slim Dog doesn’t want to talk, but rather that he doesn’t know any important information, not even who his superior is.”

“After all.”

“Anyone who dares to sell so much high-grade drugs to Slim Dog in Magic City must have prepared well, and basic single-line contact would be expected.”

“The higher-ups are impossible to track, so they’ll have to dig into the smaller fry—the addicts. No need to rush.”

Xu Changsheng nodded slightly, took a big gulp of beer, and gave Su Ming a satisfied compliment.

“Xiao Ming.”

“I honestly don’t know how to praise you, whether it’s today’s operation or just now with your analysis of the case, your terrifying ability to think.”

“You really have the potential for our line of work!”

“By the way.”

“Director Lin just mentioned that he wants you both to see him tomorrow morning. It’s probably about your promotion.”

“First day of internship and you’re already promoted—breaking records, huh?!”
