Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend’s Wedding-Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Old Ma couldn’t contain his excitement. He was pretty much certain of the suspect’s identity. Even as they were recording statements, it was merely a formality to confirm who he was.
Upon hearing Old Ma’s words, Gao Qi knew he was essentially trapped in the jaws of prison this time. He gave up struggling, slumping in his chair, refusing to communicate.
But his refusal didn’t matter. Old Ma and Lin Can, the happily elated chief and deputy chief, were fixated on the fact that they had apprehended such a significant fugitive.
Right there and then, they began discussing it openly.
Though the suspect refused to speak, they could still go over the details of the case and the initial incident that led to his predicament.
Upon hearing this, Gao Qi felt like he wanted to faint.
Seriously, not only had he been nabbed by a mere police officer, but now he also had to endure listening to them dissect the particulars of his case…
What particulars? What good does your analysis do? Does it give him any clarity?
But the ordeal wasn’t over.
As Gao Qi sat there, practically wishing he could lose consciousness, a knock on the door sounded from outside.
Old Ma and Lin Can, both engrossed in conversation, froze in unison. They turned their heads toward the door.
From the gap in the door, someone’s eyes widened with a hint of terror. The voice that followed was laden with fear, “Oh my god, the leaders from the bureau are here!”
Hearing this, even Su Xuan, who was recording statements, looked up.
Several middle-aged men in police uniforms walked in. They cast a glance at Gao Qi, who looked utterly despondent, and nodded in acknowledgment.
Their gazes filled with astonishment as they regarded Old Ma.
“That’s right, it’s him! The fugitive who has been on the run for three months…”
“Old Ma, I didn’t expect you to act so swiftly. I had barely finished speaking, and you’ve already caught him.”
“This matter has caught the attention of the municipal hall as well. Now that the suspect’s in custody, let’s report this to them…”
Upon hearing words from the county bureau leaders, the people present were taken aback.
After all, it was normal for a county-level leader to know about something happening within the county, even if it spread quickly.
But for even the municipal bureau leaders to be involved, that…
To actually have to report this specifically…
It seemed that even the higher-ups at the provincial level were aware of this already!
Otherwise, why the urgent need to escalate the matter?
It had to be said that Old Ma’s thinking was right.
No matter how you looked at it, this was an A-level fugitive!
Yes, they could say he had been captured in their county, but on a larger scale, this was a capture made within their city!
This wasn’t just about commendations or merits; it represented unparalleled honor!
An A-level fugitive like this one was even mentioned at the provincial level!
Thinking this, the leaders from the county public security bureau glanced at Su Xuan, who was currently recording statements. Their gazes had softened considerably.
He had heard that this fugitive was caught by this young man in front of him.
“Young man, is your name Su Xuan?”
“I heard that you were the one who caught the wanted criminal this time?”
“Well done!”
“You’ve done a great job this time! I’ve already ordered the rewards and notifications. I’ve even applied for third-class merit for you. I reckon it won’t take long for it to be approved!”
“I heard that you’re still an ordinary police officer. Work hard and strive to do a few more third-class merits to promote your position!”
Hearing these words, Su Xuan was a little excited.
The county leader said so, which meant that he was already famous in the eyes of the county leader.
Even if it was just a name, it would be of great help to his year-end rating!
Putting everything else aside, the bonus at the end of the year would definitely be A-rank and above. No one could surpass him!
Not to mention, there were all kinds of notifications and bonus points.
Thinking of this, Su Xuan immediately said excitedly.
“Thank you, Leader! I will continue to work hard!”
Hearing this, the director of the Public Security Bureau immediately laughed out loud. He turned to Old Mai and patted him on the shoulder.”Old Mai, Old Mai, as expected of your subordinates.”
“He has your style back then.”
“Good, very good. Such promising talent can be nurtured well. Let’s aim to bring back more achievements to our county. Who knows, we might even rise higher…”
…
After some casual conversation, the Chief of the County Public Security Bureau gave a stern look to Gao Qi and sighed.
“Old Ma, aside from wanting to see Su Xuan, the most important reason for us coming here is to take him with us.”
The county bureau leader spoke, “There are still doubts about this guy’s initial involvement. We need to transfer him directly to the city bureau’s Criminal Investigation Division for them to investigate.”
“This matter is also a task assigned by the city bureau leadership.”
Upon hearing this, even Old Ma had grasped the gravity of the situation.
No wonder they had just reported this matter and even the county bureau leadership had been alerted, rushing to their police station.
It turned out Gao Qi’s identity was special. Given this, Old Ma didn’t hesitate to agree directly to the county bureau leader’s decision.
After all, they were the ones who apprehended him, and no one else could snatch him away.
As for where this guy would end up, that was beyond their control.
With Old Ma’s nod, Gao Qi was immediately handcuffed once more and led out of the police station.
Old Ma patted Su Xuan on the shoulder, urging him to take a rest.
After all, today wasn’t his duty day. Now that there was this time, he should go back and rest.
“Su Xuan, I have high hopes for you! Take a break these next couple of days and when you return to work the day after tomorrow, be more attentive. If you can, catch another one for me…”
“Of course, I understand that catching robbers and fugitives isn’t something you come across casually. Don’t let petty thieves and pickpockets slip through either, got it?”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan immediately nodded.
“Yes, I’ll do my best!”
Old Ma was taken aback by his youthful energy and hastily waved him off to rest.
Su Xuan didn’t linger at the police station. He informed a few colleagues and changed into regular clothes, getting ready to head home.
Since he crossed over to the present, his nerves had been tightly strung, and he hadn’t relaxed since.
Now he needed to find a place to unwind properly.
Once he left the police station in casual attire, the system that had been silent in his mind suddenly chimed in.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully apprehending a criminal! You’ve earned 500 points!]
Hearing the voice, Su Xuan froze and instinctively furrowed his brows. “Are you kidding me? This is a wanted criminal!”
“Moreover, a robber.”
“And you’re giving me 500 points? Are you trying to take advantage of me because I haven’t read those system novels?”
Is the system joking!?!
Back in the day, he had roamed the sea of books. Was this lousy system trying to trick him out of points?
