After wandering around the square, Xing Zhengyi met Zhao Zhenmin at the door of the ticket office.
As expected, Zhao Zhenmin looked downcast and found nothing. "Oh, everyone looks like a thief. We still don't have as many tricks as Director Qin did."
Xing Zhengyi smiled bitterly. "Let's practice. Director Qin can't follow us forever. This time we have to rely entirely on ourselves."
Then he looked around and came up with a new proposal. "The train station is the most chaotic. There must be more than one group of thieves here. There are the most people in the square. I think we should just stay here and look for it. In case we find other thieves, that's fine. What do you think?" /
Zhao Zhenmin was impressed when he heard this, "Yeah, it's not a shame to catch a thief."
Just do it. Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin began to memorize the tips in their hearts, stretched their necks together, and looked to the east and west. They feel that like this, no matter where the thief is, he will not be missed.
Catching thieves is called dapa within the public security system. Discovery, tracking, control, and arrest are the four major steps in catching a thief. Is it difficult to catch a thief? Don't mention anything else. Let's talk about the first level of finding a thief. Most people can't pass it. Experienced police officers basically have this consensus. When it comes to catching thieves, everyone says that finding the thieves is the hardest and most important thing. To put it bluntly, if you can’t find a target, who are you going to arrest?
Finding a thief is a real skill. You have to use both eyes to pick through the crowd one by one. An expert looks at a person with his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he has to judge whether he is a thief based on the person's clothing and physical appearance. Use the corner of your eye to scan the crowd to see if there are any thieves and where they are. You can basically have an idea in your mind as to what you are calling for. This kind of eyesight is really not something that ordinary people can develop casually.
When Xing Zhengyi listened to Director Qin explain the techniques of finding thieves, he always seemed to find it not too difficult. Not only did he memorize those tips by heart, but he also analyzed them very lucidly. What about wearing no gloves in the winter and wearing sneakers in the summer, walking half-hunched over and staring at his pockets... In fact, he had always been looking forward to catching a thief on his own. But when I used it today, I realized that was not the case at all. No matter how hard he scanned, he couldn't see anyone looking "thief-looking".
This is not surprising. There are very few thieves. They are mixed in the vast sea of people in the square. It is not an exaggeration to describe catching thieves as finding a needle in a haystack. He and Zhao Zhenmin had both learned "two swords" for several months. They only relied on half-knowledge of the know-how to identify thieves, so their levels were naturally far different.
In this way, time passed by unconsciously. But not only did Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin not find the theft gang they were looking for, they didn't even recognize any of the other thieves. And the most painful thing is that the two brothers' eyes gradually can't stand it anymore.
It turns out that Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin dare not relax at all when looking at people. They not only observe everyone's movements and behavior, but also carefully look at their expressions. They are highly nervous for fear of missing the thief. But looking for thieves like this is the most difficult thing to do. It's okay to look at ten or eight people. When a hundred or eighty people came down, the two brothers' eyes had already seen butterflies flying in pairs.
Zhao Zhenmin complained as he rubbed his red eyes. "It's all about carrying one head on two shoulders. Where can we find a thief? It's too difficult."
"Hey, 'sit down' and 'watch the station' are compulsory courses for us. How can we do it if we don't practice?" Xing Zhengyi comforted him. His eyes were also terribly uncomfortable, but he still persisted.
To be honest, Xing Zhengyi was too eager for success. He had no idea that according to the actual situation, it would be impossible to take down a thief alone without several years of hard work. But then again, in normal times, he might not be so competitive. But now the pressure to complete the task was too great, and he had no choice but to do it.
The feeling of waiting for someone is uncomfortable, but the feeling of waiting for a thief is even worse. Xing Zhengyi has to check his watch almost every minute. Waiting and waiting, he couldn't help but start beating drums in his heart. I really doubt that he came here to catch a thief on impulse today. Is he really a little ignorant? Should I go back to Director Qin for help?
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately felt resentful for his cowardice.
What a shame, it's such a worthless thing. How do you know how much you weigh if you don't stick to it? At worst, let others laugh at you.
Don't tell me, after scolding myself like this in my heart, I feel much better and not so worried.
"Oh, my eyes are useless."
Zhao Zhenmin suddenly closed his eyes and shouted, a gust of wind blew his tears out. He groped randomly for a handkerchief, but because he was in such a hurry to change clothes and go out, he didn't bring it with him at all.
Xing Zhengyi quickly took out his own and handed it over.
Zhao Zhenmin expressed doubts while wiping his eyes, "Do you think we can just wait and see in the square for the thief? Why do I feel that our hands are too wet and there is no chance?"
"Have confidence. It's not a shame if you can't find a thief, it's a shame if you can't persist."
Xing Zhengyi knew that he had to be most patient when "watching the station" (jargon, referring to the police stationed at the station waiting for thieves), because no one knows what the result of this kind of waiting will be. Two hours is not a long time, and one day and one night is not impossible. Although the chance of waiting like this is too small, we can only think of the good. However, he was prepared for the worst. In any case, he is sure to go all the way to the dark side. In the capital's saying, "You can't lose face even if you die."
Zhao Zhenmin wiped away his tears and handed the handkerchief back to Xing Zhengyi. It can be seen that his mood is no longer high.
Xing Zhengyi could only continue to encourage Zhao Zhenmin.
"Have you forgotten what Director Qin said? Catching thieves is also related to luck. The more involved you are, the more anxious you are, but you may not be able to see the thieves. And sometimes when you go out after a full meal, you may head on... ”
As he spoke, Xing Zhengyi's eyes suddenly lit up. He stopped and patted Zhao Zhenmin on the shoulder.
Zhao Zhenmin was startled. When he squinted his red eyes and looked far away in the direction Xing Zhengyi pointed, he finally figured out the reason. It turned out that three bad boys in military uniforms were strolling over from the west side of the square.
These three boys are wandering around, full of arrogance, and they don’t look likeable. But when he saw them, Zhao Zhenmin was so happy.
"Hey rabbit! Wait for the rabbit! I really got it today!"
This is the way to go. To put it in perspective, Xing Zhengyi and Zhao Zhenmin only relied on the investigation results of the past two days to identify You San and his gang of thieves who had no name, no photo, and no company or address. The probability was basically zero.
However, since these three little boys had a little money in their hands, each of them got a military uniform and wore it all day long, and they couldn't bear to take it off. The warning of "short position" fell on deaf ears, and You San didn't bother to take care of it because they didn't have the ability to "catch points" on their own. So much so that this outfit has become an obvious label for San Zai'er.
In short, when these three boys appeared in the square now, they were like three grasshoppers mixed in with the ants, and they were easily recognized by these two "two-handed" policemen.
