He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.

"Of course I can't handcuff them all by myself."

Ding Jianguo and Director Wang nodded; they knew it was unrealistic.

So they were even more curious about how Lu Chen had done it.

"Didn't they ask me to pass on some of my skills today?"

They nodded; they already knew that.

Lu Chen continued, "In order to complete the task you assigned me to hold off these pickpockets, I chose to teach them how to pick handcuffs."

"Wait, you know this kind of skill?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"I know a little."

Ding Jianguo: "..."

Wang Feng: "..."

The other three bureau chiefs: "..."

Jiang Xue: "..."

Isn't this reasonable?

You're better at stealing than a professional thief, that's one thing.

They can also sneak in and pick locks.

"After showing them a couple of tricks, I asked them to try it themselves."

"And the result?"

"So they all handcuffed themselves."

Ding Jianguo couldn't help but ask, "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple."

……

After Ding Jianguo understood the cause and effect of everything,

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You're the one with the most clever ideas, you're really a talent."

"Yeah, you really exceeded expectations."

"Haha, our task for you was to hold them off, not to take control of them all. But I still want to say, Xiao Lu, you did a great job."

"Don't worry, you'll still get the top credit for this mission, and the reward will definitely be substantial."

After speaking, Ding Jianguo's gaze lingered on Lu Chen for a moment.

The idea had already started to take shape in his mind.

If we could bring in someone as talented as Lu Chen to be a senior advisor at the Jiangbei City Police Department, that would be an absolutely worthwhile deal.

Senior advisor, obeys orders but not directives.

He can live his own life normally, and the police station can ask him to lend a hand when needed.

Consultant fees are paid as usual, and benefits are almost the same as those of regular police officers.

"After all..." Ding Jianguo thought to himself, "who knows what unexpected role such a person might play one day?"

However, he needed to report this matter to his direct superior, Zheng Gong.

……

Watching the pickpockets being escorted away one by one.

Ding Jianguo and Wang Feng felt they had gained a lot.

It's like following a melon farmer during harvest season, looking at the ripe watermelons in their own field.

These are all their achievements.

Having been police officers for so many years, Ding Jianguo and his colleagues had rarely seen such a scene.

The number of pickpockets they arrested in this operation is more than the number of pickpockets arrested by their branch office and headquarters combined in the past year.

All four precincts, including all officers from headquarters who participated in this operation, will definitely receive bonuses.

"Reporting to Director Ding, the count is complete. There are a total of 86 criminals here, and they are all under control."

"86 people, my goodness!" Wang Feng exclaimed.

Ding Jianguo said, "This has absolutely broken the record for the number of pickpockets arrested in a single operation in Jiangbei City."

Let alone Jiangbei City, even our provincial department probably has never arrested so many pickpockets in a single operation.

"Okay, let's put them all in temporary custody at the brick factory first."

"After the buses arrive, we'll send them all away in batches," Ding Jianguo said happily.

So many pickpockets.

Neither the branch office nor the headquarters could handle it.

It can only be divided equally, with each bureau receiving a portion.

Only then can it be fully digested.

"Oh right, I haven't called my boss back yet."

"Too!"

"Old Ding, you should do it." Surprisingly, no one tried to take credit from Ding Jianguo.

The other three bureau chiefs also knew this, after all, Lu Chen was their "family" from the Yuhua District Bureau.

They contributed the most effort.

This good news naturally had to be reported to Ding Jianguo and his team at the Yuhua District Branch.

"Report, Director Zheng, mission accomplished perfectly."

"In a joint operation, the Jiangbei Municipal Public Security Bureau and its branches cracked down on a large-scale thief den on July 25, arresting a total of 86 pickpockets."

"Not a single person escaped."

"Good! Good! Good!" After saying "good" three times, Director Zheng slammed his hand on the table. "86 people, not a single one escaped? Your Yuhua District Branch has really given Mayor Jiangbei a lot of face this time!"

Ding Jianguo chuckled and puffed out his chest: "Director Zheng, this is a joint achievement of all the officers in our headquarters and branch. However, the reason this operation went so smoothly is entirely thanks to Lu Chen."

The person on the other end of the phone raised an eyebrow.

"Has Xiao Lu done something outstanding again?"

Ding Jianguo smiled and said, "This is a long story. Leader, let's give you a detailed report when we get back."

"Okay, make sure the finishing touches are done well."

"receive."

……

At this moment, Hua Zi, Lao Gou, and Brother Long all lost their composure.

They can accept being arrested.

But I cannot accept that they were arrested in such a humiliating way.

They're incredibly frustrated right now.

If the people in the underworld knew about this, they would laugh themselves to death.

Now that I think about it carefully, why didn't anyone suspect that the other side was being suspicious by handcuffing all of them?

But it's too late to say anything now.

The handcuffs from ten minutes ago could perhaps be removed.

The handcuffs on their hands can't be removed now.

"Director Ding, be careful. I just taught them some techniques for picking handcuffs."

"Although it's difficult for them to learn in a short time, there's no guarantee that one of them might be talented enough to open the handcuffs."

Lu Chen's words made Brother Long and the others feel even more that he had struck a nerve.

This is supposed to be defensive?!

Ding Jianguo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we will keep a close watch on them, and none of them will be able to escape."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Director Ding, if everything's alright here, I'll head back now."

Lu Chen was unable to help with what happened after that.

"Alright, thanks to you this time, Xiao Lu."

"Bring Xiao Jiang to our house for dinner sometime. Your sister-in-law's cooking is pretty good," Ding Jianguo said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you, Director Ding."

"Someone, take Xiao Lu back," Ding Jianguo instructed.

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Director Ding, I can take a taxi back myself."

Before Ding Jianguo could say anything, Wang Feng was already unhappy.

"You've done such a big favor for the Jiangbei City Police Department, how can we let a hero take a taxi home by himself? We must take you home."

Ding Jianguo smiled and said, "Old Wang is right about that."

"However, Xiao Jiang will need to work with us for a while longer, as we simply don't have enough police manpower. Please understand."

Lu Chen said, "This is also part of my duty."

……

Dealing with those 86 people will keep Ding Jianguo and his team busy for two days.

Interrogation, taking statements, and processing them according to their categories.

Habitual offenders will be sent to the procuratorate; those who need education will be educated, and those who need repatriation will be repatriated…
