The fat man was unaware of the impending danger.
He talked to the new neighbor for a long time, but the other party was unwilling to pay attention to him at all and instead quickened his pace.
This infuriated the fat man.
But when he saw the elderly scavenger squatting in front of him, he temporarily suppressed his displeasure.
Well, the guy lives next door anyway, so he'll deal with this first, and then talk to him about it later.
Thinking this through, the fat man turned around, took out a cigarette, and greeted the person in front of him: "You're here? Come on, let's take a look at the stuff."
When Officer Zheng saw the fat man walk toward the elderly scavenger, he raised his hand and gestured to the other officers behind him.
Almost instantly, several people darted out from the shadows behind the tree and pounced straight at the two of them—
Xiao He, who was two or three meters ahead of the fat man, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
This alarm sensor... is it the police?
Wow, we've stumbled upon an arrest scene!
That's good, he doesn't need to go back and send anonymous letters anymore.
Xiao He turned around and sped away from them, wanting to keep moving forward and create some space for the police to arrest him.
However, perhaps Xiao He's actions proved his "guilty conscience," because one of the young police officers decisively pounced on him.
"You're not allowed to leave either!"
Xiao He: ?
No, sir, what does this have to do with me?
Xiao He was somewhat puzzled, but in the end he did not move forward. Instead, he took a step back and stood still, watching the other party rush towards him.
Yu Guangzhong saw an elderly scavenger squatting on the ground nearby. He nimbly took off his coat and slipped away from the police officer's control like an eel. He then threw the sack next to him at the oncoming policeman and turned to run in his direction.
Because in the spot where Xiao He is standing now, there is no one else besides that young police officer.
And clearly, this young-looking police officer will be a key breakthrough in his escape!
Seemingly not expecting the heavy responsibility of interception to suddenly fall on his shoulders, the young police officer was visibly flustered, but he did not back down or try to stop Xiao He. Instead, he turned around, raised his hand, and prepared to grab the "old scavenger's" arm, intending to give him an over-the-shoulder throw.
Xiao He took a step back, wanting to give them more space to capture him, but suddenly caught a faint smell of blood.
—This guy is not only one of our kind, but also one whose hands are stained with blood!
His expression immediately turned serious.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for.
This place is really full of bad guys; the system has really found him a good "base".
Without further hesitation, Xiao He stretched out his leg, not giving the young police officer and the "old scavenger" a chance to make contact. He tripped the man midway, hooking his foot and sending him flying unexpectedly.
When he suddenly made intimate contact with the ground, the elderly scavenger was completely bewildered by the fall.
The young police officer was stunned for a moment, and so were the others.
The only sound coming from the side was the clicking of a camera.
Out of an artist's natural sensitivity to the camera, Xiao He subconsciously turned his head to look, and sure enough, he met a dark camera lens.
Zhou Junhao, who was looking at the scene through the camera's viewfinder, also widened his eyes in the next moment.
Huh?
Those eyes?
The streetlights had already come on, and as the headlights of a police car flashed in the distance, the young man wearing a hat finally revealed his eyes from the shadows.
Zhou Junhao had seen those eyes before.
Or rather, he's very familiar with it.
Having interacted with Xiao He through previous incidents, Zhou Junhao had already become a fan.
Therefore, Zhou Junhao, who had seen many of Xiao He's film and television works, recognized the other party's identity almost instantly.
"Brother Xiao?"
Shocked, Zhou Junhao hesitated before calling out the name. Looking at the chaotic arrest scene and the photos in the camera, he hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "What are you doing here?"
How did he become a suspect?
Zhou Junhao has been staking out car thieves with the police recently, and he unexpectedly learned that there was also an arson case behind the car theft. So Zhou Junhao has been staying here every day for the past few days, wanting to report on the arrest process as soon as possible.
Although he had hoped that he could discover some earth-shattering news because of this incident, it didn't mean that he wanted to capture such explosive news content!
What's this?
How did we end up meeting Brother Xiao at the arrest scene?
Zhou Junhao felt he should calm down. Was he being too eager to capture sensational news lately, and was he becoming mentally distracted?
After rubbing his eyes and confirming that the person in front of him was not a hallucination, Zhou Junhao felt that everyone should calm down.
How did Xiao He almost become a suspect and get arrested?!
There seems to be some misunderstanding!
-
A few minutes later, Officer Jin and Officer Zheng, whose identities had been confirmed, apologized to Xiao He together.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Xiao, this is all a misunderstanding!"
Xiao He quickly waved his hand and moved aside, afraid that they would continue to apologize: "It's okay, you're just being cautious, I can understand."
He then looked at the "old scavenger" in the distance, handcuffed and stuffed into the car, pursed his lips, and said cautiously, "Is he alright? I shouldn't be responsible for this, right?"
To be honest, the situation was very chaotic at the time, and the two events occurred within five or six seconds of each other.
Xiao He really didn't expect that his enhanced skills today would result in this guy who was trying to escape receiving a bone fracture as a "gift".
He only tripped over his own leg, but when he fell, he was fine. However, the foot that was tripped was bruised and purple from the impact with Xiao He's bone.
Xiao He scratched his head awkwardly.
He certainly won't admit that he did it on purpose.
New skill, not well controlled, bones as hard as steel plates, that guy kicked his "steel plate" himself, what does that have to do with him?
"It's nothing, it's nothing, what's the big deal? We still need to take him back for questioning."
Officer Zheng waved his hand, while Officer Jin looked relieved.
The fat man wasn't the main target of this arrest; rather, it was this "old scavenger."
Of course, we can't call this guy an "old scavenger" anymore. After all, despite his shaky gait, he's actually a strong man in his thirties who moved incredibly fast and was agile when he ran away. If Xiao He hadn't caught him off guard and won in one move, it would have taken much more effort to apprehend him.
Moreover, this guy did more than just sell stolen goods; he also deliberately set an arson attack, causing great panic at the scene and ultimately resulting in one death and one injury.
These people are quite good at disguising themselves these days.
They are simply a cancer on society, the scum of humanity.
Officer Jin felt a deep sense of disgust, his only regret being that he hadn't personally thrown the man ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) over his shoulder and caught him.
But it's all good. In the end, he was the one who held the person down and handcuffed him. As long as the person can be caught, it's all worth it.
While the police were handling the scene, Zhou Junhao and Xiao He also walked aside.
