Chapter 12: wastrel who can’t even afford a dowry
Chapter 12: wastrel who can't even afford a dowry
"Su Xuan, you're going to be rich this time!"
"Not only do I have to be rewarded, but I can also get points from that stingy person."
"This luck is like soaring high."
The police officers present could not help but exclaim, their expressions complicated.
Why did Su Xuan encounter such a good thing?
Hearing these words, Suxuan and the others couldn't help but break into delighted smiles.
You see, Old Mai was known for being incredibly stingy, pinching the points in his hands tightly every day, only giving out a few at the beginning of the year...
Yet today, he'd deducted so many points directly from his stash, just thinking about it was thrilling...
At that moment, inside the interrogation room, Old Mai stared sternly at Gao Qi, trying to maintain his cold and stern expression.
This was an A-level wanted criminal as per the provincial notice!
For a fleeing robbery suspect like this, even catching a hundred petty thieves wouldn't compare to catching one fugitive like this!
But apprehending a fugitive like this couldn't be done without resorting to force. No one knew how the suspect would resist.
For a fugitive who had previously injured others and might even be prepared to kill, it wouldn't be as difficult as the first time.
The few officers sent earlier to capture him had all suffered injuries due to his resistance...
Yet, despite being such a fugitive, he was now sitting right in front of him...
This guy, without using a single soldier, was captured directly under his nose by a mere junior police officer!?
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
Old Mai banged the table, coughed, and after attracting Gao Qi's attention, he spoke, "Qi Gao, I assume you're well aware of the charges against you."
"Robbery on the high-speed train, causing injuries, and evading capture for so long. You've even gone so far as to use stolen jewelry to deceive and commit bigamy. It seems you're regressing as you grow older."
"Now you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..."
As Old Mai spoke, Su Xuan entered the room.
Since Su Xuan was the one who apprehended him, he had the right to listen to the suspect's statement.
Gao Qi, who had been silent while staring at Old Mai for a long time, changed his expression when he saw Su Xuan entering.
With his hands in handcuffs and dressed in groom's attire, which was now creased all over, he had already been brought into the police station. Escaping was simply unrealistic...
Even if he hadn't entered here, Su Xuan had already pinned him down earlier when he tried to escape, hadn't he?
Gao Qi fixated his gaze on Su Xuan, who had replaced the officer taking his statement, still somewhat unbelieving.
He had run for so long, evading pursuits from various provinces and teams, and even changed his identity and face, only to be caught by a young police officer!
Moreover, he was apprehended during his own wedding...
If this were to spread, where would he put his face in the future?
"Su Xuan, I've really underestimated you."
"I never thought that a small-time cop like you, who even got dumped by his girlfriend, could actually uncover my identity!"
"But I can't accept this! I'm already prepared to start over a new leaf, so why did you arrest me again?"
"You even arrested me at my wedding ceremony."
"You're just jealous of me, aren't you? Let me tell you, Su Xuan, a small police officer like you can't earn much money all year round.
You have to face all kinds of weather, and your life could be taken at any moment..."
"A person like you... is not worthy of a woman's sincerity..."
"No wonder Qin Shuyi broke up with you and then turned to me..."
..
Gao Qi looked at Su Xuan smugly.
He had already lost the chance to escape. Now, he could only defeat Su Xuan mentally!
So what if this guy caught him?
He was just a police officer.
Compared to him, Su Xuan was nothing!
"Oh, you have money."
Su Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him. He said indifferently,"No matter how rich you are, those are just dirty money."
"At least I'm getting a proper salary. At least it's my own money."
From Su Xuan's tone, it seemed as if he looked down on the money in his hands.
This made Gao Qi very angry.
However, at this moment, he was already sitting in the interrogation room of the police station. Even if he only made Su Xuan feel uncomfortable for a moment, he was still extremely happy.
"A wastrel who can't even afford a dowry! Even if you have a meager salary, so what? You're still losing out on women..."
"Su Xuan, I'll remember you."
"You prevented me from marrying the one I love, and you've destroyed my family!"
"At most, I'll be sentenced for a few years. When I come out, you'll see if I don't give you trouble!"
As Gao Qi spoke, he already harbored a deep hatred for Su Xuan.
You know, if Su Xuan hadn't caught him today, Gao Qi could have gone on to marry Qin Shuyi, have children, and still have his money. No matter what, he could have found a way out.
After all, the ill-gotten gains he had stolen previously amounted to only a small sum. However, once he put that money to work, he'd have the rest of the money for himself. If he managed to have a child along the way, then even if he did end up getting caught, the money would be sufficient to raise his child until adulthood.
But all these hopeful scenarios were dashed by Su Xuan!
He actually apprehended him before his wedding!
The more Gao Qi thought about it, the more his anger grew. Finally, he glared at Su Xuan with a venomous look and spat, "You just wait for me!"
Hearing these empty words, Su Xuan merely let out a scornful chuckle and diligently documented every utterance in his notes.
"A prison term of a few years? Gao Qi, are you legally ignorant? You won't be getting out for at least ten years, and who knows, the punishment might even be harsher."
"Moreover..."
"Have you forgotten? I'm a police officer!"
Su Xuan elaborated, leaving Gao Qi perplexed.
What was he trying to say?
"Every word you utter here can be used as evidence in court. We'll also make a case for your sentence to be even more substantial."
"Planning to come after me once you're out?"
Su Xuan coldly sneered, "Keep dreaming!"
Upon hearing this retort, Gao Qi was taken aback, his expression shifting from surprise to infuriation in an instant.
In his eyes, the way Su Xuan had waited for him to speak was clearly a mockery. And now, with that insolent attitude, Gao Qi was further incensed, to the point of boiling over!
Seated across from Gao Qi, Old Ma suddenly broke into applause.
"Well said!"
Su Xuan looked up to see Old Ma applauding approvingly, his gaze brimming with admiration.
"When dealing with such criminals, we should have this kind of determination!"
"A robber who deludes himself into thinking he's some high-class individual should be confined behind bars!"
"Su Xuan, you've truly accomplished something significant this time!"
