The reborn policewoman's dog solves numerous major cases, shocking the nation.

Chapter 73 The bewildered investigation team: Why haven't they seen the pickpocket after waiting all afternoon?
At this moment, Zhou Zheng and the others, who had been observing the train station entrance all afternoon, stroked their chins and fell into deep thought.

It's been a whole afternoon!

It's been seven or eight hours.

They didn't even see a single pickpocket!
Moreover, it wasn't just this one train station; they sent people to stake out all the old train stations in the entire An'nan District!

But not a single pickpocket was found at any of the train stations!

Zhou Zheng was a bit dumbfounded, his brows furrowed: "This shouldn't be... Could it be that the pickpockets here are too skilled? We didn't notice them stealing anything?"

"possible……"

The two young men in the car both nodded.

This was the only possibility they could think of.

After all... it can't be that there really isn't a single pickpocket here, right?
Absolutely impossible!
Even in the old train stations in Beijing, pickpockets have not disappeared; you can still catch a few every now and then!
After all, these petty thefts are punished very lightly, at most a few months in jail, so it is basically impossible to completely eradicate them!

Not to mention Nan'an District, a small, peripheral urban area!

There are definitely pickpockets in train stations! It's just a matter of how many!
"Looks like the pickpockets around here are all pretty good..."

The young man sighed, "Our investigation team consists of elites from Beijing, many of whom were originally from the public security system. So many people... how come none of them noticed the pickpockets?"

"They're probably all seasoned pickpockets, experienced and highly skilled..." Zhou Zheng sighed, genuinely feeling somewhat helpless.

Unexpectedly, their elaborate scheme to secretly infiltrate Nan'an District to investigate the crime rate there resulted in... a complete failure because the pickpockets there were too skilled!
Who can I talk to to explain this?

Zhou Zheng raised his wrist to check the time, frowned, and said, "We have limited time. Staying here any longer would mostly be a waste of time. Let's end the crime rate survey in Nan'an District here..."

There are hundreds of cities across the country that have been selected for the list of civilized cities, and they are all waiting for the officials to conduct on-site research and inspections. They don't have much time to waste on just one place!
“Okay, Director Zhou!” The young man nodded and then asked, “Should we go directly to the Provincial Inspection Department of Handong Province now?”

"Do not."

Zhou Zhen shook his head and smiled, "I'd like to further investigate the police enforcement efficiency in Nan'an District."

"what?"

The young man was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "You mean..."

Zhou Zheng didn't answer. He immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie and ordered, "Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, you two go and pretend to be pickpockets! Commit a crime randomly! Remember to make sure you look suspicious so the victims call the police as soon as possible. I want to see how efficient the police response is in Nan'an District!"

Soon, two deep voices came from the other end of the phone: "Yes!" ×2
"Uh……"

The young man now understood what Zhou Zheng was trying to do, but couldn't help asking with some surprise, "Director Zhou, is it appropriate to have those two officers, who are at the level of captains of the provincial-level police force, pretend to be pickpockets?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at him. "What's inappropriate about it? They're from the public security system, they know criminals best, and they'll definitely be the most convincing in disguise... What? If they're not going, are you going to go?"

"No no no!"

The young man quickly shook his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "I work in anti-corruption! I don't know anything about criminals! I can't pretend, I absolutely can't!"

...Shortly after Zhou Zheng gave the order, two imposing, tall middle-aged men got out of a car about fifty meters away.

These were the Xiao Li and Xiao Wang that Zhou Zheng had mentioned...

Ok……

Li Youxiao, former captain of the anti-drug squad of a certain province, and Wang Weimin, deputy captain of the criminal investigation squad.

At this moment, neither of them looked good; their faces clearly showed their reluctance.

Pretending to be a pickpocket?
They actually made them pretend to be pickpockets?!
Pickpockets are the lowest of the low in criminal activity!
Generally speaking, the arrest is the responsibility of the local police station officers at the grassroots level!
The local police station is several levels below the provincial headquarters... there are county public security bureaus, county detachments, city branches, city detachments, city bureaus, and city branches in between!
Now, they're actually making these two former provincial-level leaders pretend to be pickpockets?

What's the difference between this and having Sun Wukong impersonate Benbo Ba?

It's a bit of a blow to my self-esteem...

Li Youxiao and Wang Weimin were both a bit numb, but there was nothing they could do. Since they had chosen to join the investigation team, they could only obey the orders of Zhou Zheng, the top leader!
The investigation team was their stepping stone to entering the Chinese server...

Let's pretend to be pickpockets then!

There's no way around it, they're just too eager to improve!
After mentally preparing themselves, the two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Then they went their separate ways and blended into the crowd in the train station square.

Setting aside the issue of hurting their pride, this task was quite simple for both of them.

They all rose through the ranks from the bottom and had dealt with all sorts of criminals, so they were incredibly adept at impersonating criminals!
Since the intention is to deliberately create a flaw... then of course it has to be made as obvious as possible!
Li Youxiao took off his shirt, went shirtless, and started smoking. His entire demeanor changed instantly, from dignified to sleazy and greasy. He pretended to casually glance at the people around him.

Passersby cast wary glances at him, unconsciously checking their belongings.

"Wow! Little Li's aura has really improved! He's got that street smarts vibe now!"

On the bus, Zhou Zheng watched in amazement and couldn't help but laugh, "If I were a passerby, I would have called the police immediately if I saw him like that! Why would he need to steal anything!"

The young man nodded and chuckled, "Yes, Chief Li's disguise is so lifelike! Look at the way those passersby are looking at him! Tsk tsk tsk... like they're guarding against a thief! If he dares to steal anything, someone will definitely notice and call the police immediately!!"

At this time.

Li Youxiao was also ready to make his move. He randomly selected a lucky passerby, stared intently at the phone in the passerby's pocket, and walked over to steal it!
But the next moment!
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and firmly pressed down on Li Youxiao's hand!
"???"

Li Youxiao turned his head in surprise and saw a young man in a suit grab his hand and look at him with an angry gaze!

Did a kind passerby discover me stealing and come out to stop me?
However, the thought had barely crossed Li Youxiao's mind.

The young man in the suit said anxiously in a low voice, "Are you stupid? The boss said no stealing today! You still dare to lay a hand on me? Which group are you from? Why aren't you following the rules?!"

Li Youxiao: "???"

What the hell?
