A Thief Crying to Catch a Thief
After everyone had finished washing up, Jiang Ning removed the signal source from everyone's wrists. Then, she took everyone to a pedestrian street in the city center by bus.
This was the most prosperous pedestrian street in Binhai City. It was more than 1,000 meters long and had thousands of shops neatly arranged on both sides of the street. The daily traffic was conservatively estimated to be more than 100,000.
"Jiang Ning, why did you bring us here? Did you bring us here to earn money, or did you want us to spend it?”
Fatty asked while walking on the pedestrian street.
"Yeah, Jiang Ning, don't be so mysterious. Tell us, what do you plan to do?”
"Don't tell me he brought us here to set up a stall?”
"Even if you set up a stall, you have to have something to sell. Could it be that you want to pick up Fatty's old line of work? Open a gambling den?"
"Brother Jiangning, I think we should do our old job and scam those chess stalls.”
Everyone was very puzzled and began to guess.
Luo Hongying was also curious about what Jiang Ning wanted to do with them. She urged,"Jiang Ning, hurry up and tell us. If you don't tell us, Fatty and the others will die of anxiety.”
Jiang Ning smiled when she heard this, but she didn't say it immediately. Instead, she asked,""Let me test you. What kind of crime is most common in a commercial street like this?”
Apart from Sister Shan, the rest of the group of eight were police academy students.
Although most of them were bad students, they still understood basic criminal behavior.
Hearing Jiang Ning's question, Fatty and Luo Hongying, who reacted quickly, looked at the crowd thoughtfully.
Only the one-track-minded Reckless Bull pursed his lips and replied in a muffled voice,"What's there to test? The more people there are, the more thieves there are.”
"That's right."
Jiang Ning smiled and began to explain his plan." I know that you guys don't want to do anything out of line, so we'll catch thieves in the next two days and take some money from the wallets they stole. Don't take too much, the limit is 1,000 yuan, or a few hundred yuan will do.”
Stealing food from a thief?
To be honest, Reckless Bull and the others did not reject this method. After all, they were in a difficult situation now, so they treated it as a reward for catching the thief.
However, the problem was that finding a thief on a commercial street with hundreds of thousands of people was no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.
Even experienced old policemen might not be able to do it, let alone police academy students like them.
"Jiang Ning, you're too naive. There's no writing on the thief's face, how are we going to catch him?”
Soft Rice King didn't think too highly of Jiang Ning's plan.
"Student Wang Mian is right. There are too many people here. Even if we keep an eye on each area, we might not be able to discover the thief.”Luo Hongying also frowned.
"Look, you've fallen into the wrong mindset again, haven't you?”
Jiang Ning sighed. Seeing that everyone was about to retort, he quickly waved his hand and said,"Don't be in a hurry to refute. Let me finish first.”
"Let's first look at it from the perspective of a thief. As a thief, after choosing a target, he will first follow for a while and find an opportunity to strike. After he succeeds, he will quickly retreat from the scene, find a place nearby, take the cash, and throw away the wallet to complete the entire crime process. Think about it, where will the thief complete the process of throwing the wallet?”
"Everyone knows that. In places with few people, like toilets or remote alleys, we can just throw the wallet into the toilet, sewer, or trash can to destroy the evidence. But what does this have to do with us…"
Old Hu was the first to speak, but before he could finish, Luo Hongying suddenly interrupted him.
"Wait, I think I understand Jiang Ning's plan.”
Luo Hongying looked at Jiang Ning with a strange gaze." Jiang Ning, continue. Let me see if my guess is correct."”
"Alright."
Jiang Ning smiled at Luo Hongying and continued to explain,"Just like what Old Hu said just now, the reason why it's so difficult for local police officers to turn around is because pickpockets can quickly dispose of their stolen goods. It's very difficult to find evidence. But from another perspective, as long as we guard some of the places where pickpockets often go to destroy their stolen goods and wait for the rabbit, wouldn't it be easy to catch the thief?”
That's right.
With so many people on this business street, there must be many pickpockets.
When they destroyed the stolen goods, it would be easy and they could get a lot of money.
It was indeed a good idea!
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that.
Luo Hongying couldn't help but think to herself," As expected." She had just thought of this idea.
However, the difference was that Jiang Ning relied on her own intelligence and wisdom, while she only realized it after being reminded.
Was Jiang Ning really a bad student?
Luo Hongying was a little suspicious.
Accurately grasping the psychology of criminals and finding common points was a difficult part of criminal psychology.
Including her, many of the top students in the police academy could not figure it out sometimes.
However, not only was Jiang Ning able to analyze the situation clearly and logically, most importantly, he was able to apply it to the actual situation!
Luo Hongying felt that compared to Jiangning, Jiangning should be called the top student!
" Alright, don't just stand there. Let's go to the mall and buy a few cheap walkie-talkies. Then, Fatty and Old Hu will form a group, while Reckless Bull and Soft Rice King will form a group. Luo Hongying, you will bring Wu Wenjing and Sister Shan. Each group will have a walkie-talkie. When you arrest someone, remember to create chaos loudly and take the opportunity to withdraw with money. Don't stay too long. As for the pickpockets, leave them to the public. They will call the police for us.”
Jiang Ning said.
"Jiangning, what about you?" Fatty asked in surprise.
"Me? I'll be keeping watch outside. If I find a pickpocket destroying the stolen goods, I'll inform you. At the same time, I'll prevent the police from discovering you.”Jiang Ning explained.
Previously, the system had given him a lot of stealing knowledge and skills, but because Xu Changming's people were watching over him, he had never been able to use them.
However, it was different now. No one was looking at him, so he could display his strength and quickly distinguish the pickpockets in the crowd, providing information to Fatty and the others.
