Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Chapter 175 Pickpockets on the Bus

At this time, Wu Mingcheng, after completing his graduation defense, although he had not officially graduated or received his graduation certificate,

But we've already entered summer vacation mode early, and I don't have much to do.

At this critical juncture, Wu Mingcheng told his teacher, Professor Wang Jiancheng, that he wanted to go home.

Professor Wang Jiancheng assumed that Wu Mingcheng had gone home to discuss his upcoming work with his family.

Professor Wang Jiancheng readily agreed, and once again instructed Wu Mingcheng to be cautious.

Before going home, Wu Mingcheng made a point of saying goodbye to Xiang Yuxi.

Because Wu Mingcheng's home is in the capital, and the transportation nearby is very convenient.

So instead of having Xu Yan and Duan Hao pick him up, he chose to take a bus home by himself.

Little did he know that Wu Mingcheng's bus ride would once again thrust him into the eye of the storm online.

On this day, Wu Mingcheng was wearing an ordinary Hongxing Erke tracksuit.

He wore a sun-protective shirt with the logo of the People's Public Security University of China printed on it.

He arrived at the bus stop near his school and waited for the bus. Soon, he boarded the bus home.

Since it was morning and the morning rush hour in Beijing had passed, there were relatively few people on the bus, and Wu Mingcheng successfully managed to get a seat.

During this time of day, there are many elderly people out for a morning stroll or exercise.

The bus stopped at a bus stop, and then there was a ding sound.

The loudspeaker on the bus announced,

"Senior citizen card,"

At that moment, an elderly man with slightly unsteady legs came up from the doorway, carrying a plastic bag.

Wu Mingcheng quickly got up and went to help the old man up.

"Grandpa, please sit there with me."

Upon hearing this, the old man realized that they were offering him his seat, so he allowed Wu Mingcheng to help him up.

After Wu Mingcheng led him to his seat, he stood to the side, holding onto the armrest.

Wu Mingcheng's actions successfully won the favor of the elderly men and women on the bus.

An older woman looked at Wu Mingcheng and spoke.

"Hey young man, you seem like a good person, and more importantly, you're quite handsome. This young man is pretty good."

Another older woman nodded in agreement.

"This young man is indeed quite good-looking. He has delicate features, is tall, has a good physique, and is also polite."

Then, she looked at Wu Mingcheng and asked,

"Young man, how old are you? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Wu Mingcheng felt utterly helpless.

Why do I feel like Chinese aunties are born with a natural talent for matchmaking?

Wu Mingcheng responded with a smile.

"Auntie, I'm still young, I don't have a boyfriend yet,"

An old man next to him glanced at Wu Mingcheng and said with a smile,

"This young man looks very young; he's probably still in school."

Upon seeing this, Wu Mingcheng responded,

"Yes, sir, I'm still in college."

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded and said,

"Going to school is good! Going to school leads to a bright future. Study hard, and you'll find a good job after graduation."

Wu Mingcheng smiled and nodded,

"Okay, sir,"

While Wu Mingcheng was chatting idly with several elderly women and men,

A young man dressed in all black and wearing a black baseball cap then got into the car.

The man pulled his hat brim very low and kept his head down, as if he was afraid others would see his face.

Perhaps due to professional habits and attributes, Wu Mingcheng couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Then, Wu Mingcheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling quite helpless about himself.

Ever since he chose to become a policeman, he's really started to observe everyone more closely.

So he looked away, after all, staring at someone was very impolite.

As the bus stopped at each station, it gradually moved towards the city center.

As a result, the train gradually became more crowded, and the carriage felt a bit cramped.

At this moment, the young man wearing a baseball cap noticed that the bus was getting crowded.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to strike? He began looking around the car, searching for his target.

He quickly set his sights on a woman carrying a designer handbag.

This woman was in a hurry, and she was clutching her bag tightly; this kind of person was their first choice.

They don't even need to look; they basically know that a woman's backpack definitely contains a lot of goods.

The man thought to himself, "I never expected to get such a good deal on my very first order of the day. It's truly a stroke of luck!"

Just then, the bus arrived at a stop, and he slowly moved along with the crowd.

And so, he quietly approached the woman, without attracting anyone's attention. (Li Liaozhao)

At this point, after everyone had disembarked, the bus resumed its journey.

He stealthily reached into his pocket, and when he pulled his hand out, there was a razor blade in his palm.

He slowly approached the woman, coming to stand behind her, near where her backpack was.

And just like that, without anyone noticing, he slit open the woman's purse and stole her phone and wallet.

At that moment, Wu Mingcheng subconsciously wanted to take another look at the young man.

Suddenly, he realized the young man was no longer in his original spot.

It was obvious that the young man hadn't gotten off at the previous stop.

So, he curiously looked around the car, searching for the young man.

Chapter 176 Subduing the Thief

Then, Wu Mingcheng saw a young man behind a woman dressed elegantly and carrying a designer handbag.

Just then, he noticed that the young man had already slit a hole in the woman's bag and taken her wallet and phone out.

With the next stop approaching, the young man pretended nothing had happened and quickly slipped his wallet and phone into his pocket.

Just then, he felt the thickness of his wallet; sure enough, there was a large shipment inside.

At this moment, he was overjoyed and felt extremely satisfied. He was lucky to get such a big win even once a month.

Besides the portion of the Buddha heads he had to hand over to their district, he could still make a considerable profit from this deal.

Then, he composed himself and moved with the crowd of people about to get off the bus towards the exit, hoping to slip away unnoticed.

Just then, the system voice suddenly sounded again.

"Ding, the system has triggered a random mission: 'Act bravely and righteously, subdue a thief.' Mission reward: Beginner-level master thief skill. Host, do you wish to accept the mission?"

Wu Mingcheng responded without hesitation.

"accept,"

The thief tried to escape, but Wu Mingcheng wouldn't let him get away with it.

So he strode forward and stood in front of the young man.

The young man glanced at Wu Mingcheng in front of him, and then said,

"Dude, make way, I need to get off."

Wu Mingcheng remained unmoved, and the man, growing increasingly agitated, finally spoke up.

"Are you blind? A good dog doesn't block the way, understand?"

Because he still had stolen goods on him, it wasn't very safe for him to be there. He was afraid the woman would realize what was happening, which would be disastrous.

Therefore, he was quite anxious at this moment, so he pushed aside Wu Mingcheng and headed towards the exit.

At this point, Wu Mingcheng stopped arguing with the man and directly grabbed his wrist.

The commotion startled everyone around, and the elderly people on the bus looked on in confusion.
