In the end, Xiao He insisted it was his intuition, and Lu Police Officer questioned him for a long time without getting a clear reason, so he could only attribute this feeling to talent.
However, after Officer Zhang, Lu Police Officer's expression when looking at Xiao He also became more complex; he raised his hand, patted Xiao He, and said earnestly, “Thank you very much for your help this time; we will apply for a certificate for you later.”
If not for Xiao He, they would have likely spent a lot more time this time.
Xiao He could only smile, “Okay, thank you, Lu Police Officer.”
Lu Police Officer did not linger much longer, taking the culprit and the stolen goods, and quickly left the scene.
Xiao He, meanwhile, got into Officer Zhang and Officer Xiao Li's car.
On the way, Xiao He casually asked about the previous sasaeng incident.
That is, the sasaeng who stabbed Xu Youyou with a knife last time; Xiao He still remembered his name was Kunping.
Officer Xiao Li: “Speaking of which, this matter really owes a lot to Xiao's reminder; we later investigated and found that this guy had a streamer he really liked, who suddenly disappeared a while ago.”
Xiao He was stunned, immediately guessing Officer Xiao Li's unspoken words: “She died?”
“Yes.” Officer Xiao Li recalled the scene at the time, a hint of disgust in his expression, “He ate her.”
Xiao He: “Ah... that's too tragic—”
Eh?
Wait, something seems off.
If I heard correctly, your tone seems wrong, doesn't it?
Are you sure you said 'ate her' and not 'dismembered her'?
Xiao He's expression stiffened.
“Cough, cough—”
Officer Zhang timely coughed lightly beside him, reminding Xiao Li, “The case has already gone to the court, so you should say less.”
Xiao Li immediately shrank his neck: “Okay.”
Xiao He also quickly apologized: “Sorry, I just wanted to know the follow-up.”
“That guy will most likely get the death penalty, so rest assured, we will definitely bring him to justice,” Officer Zhang replied, looking at Xiao He, “Speaking of which, Xiao has already helped our police twice; later, we'll contact your school and have them commend you as well.”
“No, no, no need.”
Xiao He waved his hand awkwardly.
He didn't want to be “publicly commended”; that would be truly awkward.
But speaking of which, if you include Zhu Lao San's case from before, he has actually helped the police solve three cases.
And each time, it was just a coincidence, purely the culprits themselves running into trouble; Xiao He had never even thought that his golden finger would have such a use.
However... it's pretty good; it counts as his small contribution.
The group arrived at the police station, and this time, Xiao He finally successfully received his “Act of Bravery” certificate.
Looking at the small, crimson booklet symbolizing honor in his hand, Xiao He smiled: “Thank you.”
“No problem.” Officer Xiao Li waved his hand, then invited Xiao He for a photo.
After watching Xiao He leave, Officer Xiao Li said with much emotion, “Xiao is truly a special person; I used to have prejudices against him, I was really foolish.”
Officer Zhang heard his words, slowly blew on his teacup, and said indifferently, “So, one cannot just look at the surface; one must look at what he has done and what he has said; only by truly interacting with him can one know what kind of person he is.”
Officer Xiao Li looked back in confusion: “But Master, didn't you initially suspect Xiao had a problem?”
“Cough, cough, cough—”
Officer Zhang let out a shocking cough, scaring Xiao Li into quickly helping pat his back: “Master, be careful! Here, there's paper!”
After wiping his mouth with a tissue, Officer Zhang glared at Officer Xiao Li and seriously declared, “I have never doubted Xiao; I told you to pay special attention to him as a test, to see if you could distinguish between good and bad people, and right and wrong.”
“Now it seems—”
Officer Zhang shook his head with a knowing look, as if saying the student was beyond teaching: “Comrade Xiao Li, you still need to practice!”
Officer Xiao Li scratched his head awkwardly: “Ah? So that's how it was? I understand!”
Then he looked at Officer Zhang with an admiring gaze: “As expected of Master! Your ability to discern people is strong! I will definitely continue to learn from Master!”
“Cough, cough, go, go contact Old Lü, have them match the confiscated stolen goods with our lost items, and then you contact the owners one by one.”
“Got it, Master!”
— — — —
Returning to the set in high spirits, Xiao He realized that he had, once again, accidentally become a trending topic.
“Stand there, don't move—”
Pu Rong held his phone, aiming it at Xiao He, his gaze quickly moving back and forth between the phone screen and Xiao He, looking at the exact same outfit in the photo as the person in front of him, complex emotions gradually appearing on his face:
“This T-shirt, I remember you just bought it a few days ago, right?”
“And these pants, you asked me for the link again.”
“These shoes, I'm too lazy to even mention them; the last trending topic also featured the same sneakers!”
“Alright, alright, the only improvement is that you're not carrying that worn-out bag of yours.”
“Sigh—”
Pu Rong put down his phone, looking at the person in front of him, his face full of weariness: “Brother Xiao, could you tell this humble one why you always manage to trend from such an unconventional angle?”
Xiao He: “Huh?”
He took out his phone and glanced at it, then burst into a wry smile.
【Cross-dressing Big Shot Appears at Fan Brawl! Turns out He Is—】
【Fan Brawl? Live-action Rapid Arrest!】
Uh... these titles are really something.
Similar to the last time, when Xiao He was caught up in Xu Youyou's romance scandal and became a part of it, this time, a fan brawl affected Xiao He, causing the video clip of him catching the cross-dressing big shot thief at the scene to also trend with this momentum.
Xiao He was very speechless.
No, is trending really that easy now? How does it just happen?
The most crucial thing is that this is real-time popularity, and the comment section is also very lively, with everyone laughing.
【Haha, I'm dying of laughter; before opening this trending topic, I didn't expect it to be this funny.】
【Am I the only one curious about what this cross-dressing big shot looks like? Did any on-site weirdos take photos? I'm really curious about what he looks like.】
【Seeking photos of the cross-dressing big shot ~ paid possible!】
【Don't have photos of this thief, but can I offer my own cross-dressing photos?】
【?】
【I was on site, but I didn't get a photo, but honestly, that thief truly had an amazing aura, the kind that would make me involuntarily turn my head if I saw him walking on the street; I can only say he's truly impressive, with some dedication.】
【Am I the only one who thinks this guy who caught the thief looks familiar? This familiar outfit and familiar hat and mask... 】
Looking at the slow-witted netizens, a trickle of cold sweat ran down Xiao He's forehead.
He lowered his head, looking at his clothes and pants, which he had just changed because of the last exposure, and looked up with a bit of melancholy.
Alright, if nothing unexpected happens, he's about to ruin another set of clothes.
No, who understands?! He just likes to rotate these few identical outfits, essential for lazy people going out, and no need to think when buying clothes, but in the end, you sharp-eyed netizens have ruined half of his wardrobe; he really hates it!!!
