Chapter 17 Catching a Thief
“Unit 9, roger!”
“Unit 17, roger!”
“Unit 35, roger!”
“Stand by, all of you!”
“This is the Mars Base. The helicopter team has been dispatched and is expected to arrive at the scene in five minutes.”
Just as the agents requested for assistance, Reidon had already chased the thief for a few hundred meters.
“Stop! Stop running!”
Both of them ran desperately and had no plans to stop.
They were very eye-catching, but no one came to Reidon’s help.
They all dodged them or were pushed away by the thief.
Only the agents behind them were chasing after them at breakneck speed.
In order to not attracting attention, only a few agents followed them.
Thus, the situation was that the agents chased Reidon, and Reidon chased the thief.
For 6,000 dollars, Reidon had run after the thief for half an hour, and they were both panting for breath.
The thief also seemed to be unable to run any further.
He was sweating profusely and looked as if he was going to fall at any moment.
He turned around and saw that Reidon was still following behind him.
He cursed, “F*ck you!”
At the same time, the thief opened the wallet in his hand and found six thousand dollars and a black bank card.
He thought the b*stard was really rich.
He did not expect Reidon could be a rich man.
Reidon was still chasing after him and was unwilling to give up.
The thief took out the money from Reidon’s wallet, then threw his phone, empty wallet, and bank card on the ground, asking him to stop chasing.
He threw the bank card away because he didn’t know the password, so it was useless to take it.
He just needed to get the cash.
Reidon ran for a while more and found his wallet and phone on the ground.
He couldn’t ignore his stuff. So he picked up the wallet and phone on the ground, and found the black card as well.
The thief didn’t recognize the black card.
He had run for a long time and didn’t want to chase anymore. He was exhausted.
After leaving school, he hadn’t run in such a way. He had been working to earn money.
He didn’t have time to exercise. After running so much, he was even hard to breath.
He couldn’t run anymore after chasing the thief for such a long time.
He thought that since he took the black card back, it was fine if he didn’t take the money.
After resting for a while, Reidon felt a rumbling sound above his head.
He looked up and saw three helicopters hovering.
The helicopters didn’t fly away, but hover overhead. This was quite rare.
However, Reidon was in no mood for caring about the helicopters. He picked up his phone and called the police. He wasn’t going to let the thief off like that.
Six thousand dollars was not a small amount.
After he made the call, he told the police how he had been robbed.
Now he could only hope that the police could help him get the money back.
The thief had run far enough. Seeing that Reidon did not chase him, he waved the money in his hand and whistled happily.
He was very arrogant and did not care about Reidon at all.
He did not expect to steal so much money today. He could squander it for at least a month.
When he thought he would not have to work for almost a month, he was very happy.
“Idiot, you want to chase after me? Dream on! If you come again, I will kill you!”
The thief was cursing very proudly.
If he continued to walk forward, he would reach a slum. There were no surveillance cameras and it was his territory.
He thought Reidon wouldn’t dare to continue chasing.
Then he quickly ran to his home.
However, just as he was about to walk across a street to the entrance of the alley, an accident happened.
Four strong men jumped out from the shadows at the corners.
This scene also frightened the thief. His hands and feet were completely bounded, as those four men were very professional.
In less than a minute, two police officers drove to the entrance of the alley. They nodded to the four men.
“Who are you? Why did you arrest me?”
The four men were dressed in ordinary clothing, but they seemed to be very familiar with the police.
However, those people did not reply. They only held the thief and did nothing else.
The police quickly handcuffed him.
The thief had never thought that the police would come so quickly.
This was impossible!
He thought to himself, “I’m finished. It’s so hard to get out of prison. I have to go back.”
Then, he could only be pushed into the police car obediently.
The policemen outside nodded at the four people.
Then one of the four people said through his earpiece,
“The suspect has been captured, over!”
“Mars Base received, over!”
…
Reidon walked on the street, looking dejected.
He didn’t have much hope for the police to help him get the money back.
It wasn’t a small amount of money for him.
After the thief took the money, he would spend it immediately. Even if he got it back, he would only have a few hundred dollars left.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone in Reidon’s hand rang.
He took out the phone and picked it up.
It was still the police, but they said that they had caught the thief and asked him to identify and retrieve his money.
Reidon was completely stunned. He looked at the time. Only less than five minutes passed after he called the police, but the thief had already been caught?
They were so efficient!
He didn’t have time to think too much, so he took a taxi to the police station.
When he came here, the police were all serious. The police in the office stopped working, while others were standing guard at the door.
When did the police station become so strict?
Very soon, the procedures were completed, as if the police station had been opened for him alone.
Reidon could hardly believe that he could get his money back.
He was in a very good mood. He bought two sets of clothes, and went back to his apartment.
He spent a thousand dollars in total.
This made Reidon who had always lived a frugal life feel a little bad.
He went back to his room and took a shower.
Then he continued his research.
But after a while, his stomach felt uncomfortable.
He went to the toilet and stayed for a while.
Then, he realized that in the glass stall next to the toilet, someone was taking a shower!
