Didn't know you had it in you!

'How come I didn't know you had this skill?' Hmm... seems about right. Remembering the Title's negative effect, Jiang Xia flipped off the System.

'I just praised you, and now you pull this. Can't you go one day without screwing her over?' Cursing the System in her head, Jiang Xia was already half-kneeling on the ground, shoulder pinned, hands twisted behind her back.

Young patrol officer Cao Cheng was excitedly handcuffing her — he wasn't gentle with a suspect, yanking Jiang Xia's arm painfully. Thinking about the Title's effect before she left, Jiang Xia didn't reveal her identity right away.

Instead, she mentally ordered the System to unequip the 'Zhe Wang' Title, then muttered, 'Bro, go easy. I'm your colleague, Jiang Xia from Zhouying Police Station, here to investigate a case.

Call and check if you don't believe me.' 'Shut up, who's your bro!' Before Jiang Xia finished, Cao Cheng snapped, but then he caught the rest. She gave a name and told him to call.

Cao Cheng paused. Did he really arrest a colleague? Looking at the young woman he was holding down, Cao Cheng's face turned like a spilled paint bucket — all colors.

Strange — earlier he'd found her suspicious and wanted to cuff her fast. Now knowing her identity, she suddenly looked different, with clear police academy training and a righteous face.

Cao Cheng glanced at Jiang Xia several times. Was the change that big? Had he been seeing things? Doubting himself, thinking about what she'd been doing, Cao Cheng's head started to ache.

'Master, what now?' The older cop beside him was calm. 'Just keep her like this. Take her back to the station and sort it out.' Jiang Xia cooperated fully as they escorted her to their station.

Honestly, it was a novel experience — would've been better without so many onlookers. At Anping Police Station, in the office, Jiang Xia sat in a chair, rubbing her wrists.

A few local patrol officers kept staring at her face, then telling Cao Cheng things like 'doesn't look like her at all.' Cao Cheng's face turned bright red. 'Hey, okay, no need to pick her up... ah, fine.' Yang Deputy Chief of the station hung up the phone with a click, turned to Jiang Xia with a smile, 'Identity confirmed, Xiao Jiang, wait here a bit.

Someone's coming for you.' Jiang Xia nodded, 'Thanks, Chief Yang.' Author's note: Readers who like this novel, don't miss: Bashu520.com. 'No problem.' Yang Deputy Chief waved his hand, then asked with concern, 'By the way, arresting you today won't alert the suspects you're investigating, will it?' 'No,' Jiang Xia said confidently.

'They know I keep my mouth shut.' That wasn't true. The truth was Hua Ge and He Tuzi thought she was from the underworld, knew the rules, and would never report them to the police.

It wasn't about loyalty or honor — those guys were all con artists and thieves. Who had that? The thing about underworld types was their hands weren't clean; who knew how many crimes they'd committed?

The less they confessed, the sooner they'd get out. Otherwise, it was jail time. 'Good.' Yang Deputy Chief didn't ask more.

After confirming their actions wouldn't affect anything, he went about his business. Jiang Xia waited for her ride. She didn't idle.

She took off her patched coat, washed her face with soap and water, removed her wig, and retied her hair. After that, she looked like a different person — even if Hua Ge were watching outside, he wouldn't recognize her.

Soon, her ride arrived. It was Hu Wei. He rode a 28-inch bike, stopped, hurried into the office, greeted Yang Deputy Chief seriously, explained a bit, then called Jiang Xia to leave.

Once outside, he couldn't keep a straight face. He grinned, showing eight big white teeth, laughing out loud. 'Jiang Xia, weren't you undercover today?

How'd you get caught?' 'What, it means my acting was good!' It wasn't losing face. Jiang Xia shook the evidence wrapped in her coat — two sets of sheets and pillowcases — looked up at him, 'I found the fence.

The evidence is right here. Convinced?' 'Convinced!' Hu Wei turned the bike around, gestured with his hand, 'Great hero, please take a seat.

Let's hurry back and discuss the arrest.' Jiang Xia put the clothes in the front basket and sat sideways on the back seat. Hu Wei pedaled hard, and the bike shot off.

Soon, they were back at the station. It was nearly noon. Jiang Xia jumped off, grabbed the evidence from the basket, and headed for the office.

Before she entered, a rich meaty smell hit her nose. She looked — hey, there was a familiar face in the office: Lao Chengan from the train station!

He was standing next to Wu Suo, with a large food box in front of him. The smell came from there. Looked like he'd made a big haul, coming to thank them with food.

Jiang Xia figured it out. She carried the evidence into the office and called out, 'Master, I'm back.' 'Comrade Jiang, you're back!' Before Wu Suo could speak, Lao Chengan greeted her, stepped forward, took Jiang Xia's hand and shook it, 'Thanks to your sketch, we identified the whole gang.

We went to arrest them — hey, we busted three dens in one go, caught over a dozen people. Two had warrants, one had even killed someone!' Wow!

Jiang Xia was shocked. No wonder Lao Chengan was so happy. Such a big merit — at least a commendation, no worries about promotion and raise this year.

Of course he'd come to thank them. But Wu Suo's expression was complicated. Such a big achievement, just handed to a brother unit!

Even knowing luck played a big part, Wu Suo still felt a bit off. Like most people don't hate money, Wu Suo wished the station would get more such windfalls.

Holding the sketch, thinking about who gave it away, looking at Jiang Xia who just returned, Wu Suo said softly, 'Xiao Jiang, I didn't know you had this skill.' Jiang Xia's smile stiffened. 'Ha, haha, didn't need it before.' She coughed, quickly put the evidence on the table, 'Master, I found the fence who sold the stolen goods.

And the evidence — look, these sheets are identical to the batch stolen from Beifu Factory!' 'Oh?' Wu Suo was surprised. Yang Deputy Chief hadn't mentioned that on the phone.

He thought Jiang Xia had been mistaken for a profiteer during her investigation and arrested. But she'd gone straight to the fence?

Wow, his apprentice really had skills. Wu Suo picked up a corner of the sheet, examined it, 'Really identical. No musty smell from long storage.

Should be the batch from Beifu Factory. Good, once we catch the guy, this case is solved!' 'The fence is cautious. You finding him is impressive.' Wu Suo joked in a good mood, 'Xiao Jiang, what else can you do that I don't know?

Tell me in advance so I can prepare.' 'Nothing, Master.' Jiang Xia laughed dryly, spread her hands, 'That's all I've got.' She did have other skills, but if she told him, Master would get high blood pressure in minutes. Better keep it quiet.

'Looks like I came at a bad time.' Hearing this, Lao Chengan realized Jiang Xia's case was at the final arrest stage, and they were in a hurry. 'Maybe I should head back?' 'Don't.' How could someone bring food to treat them and leave without eating?

Wu Suo quickly stopped him. 'Our people aren't all here yet. We'll arrest after everyone arrives this afternoon. Let's eat first, then talk.' 'Exactly,' Jiang Xia added, 'I still need to draw the suspect's portrait first, or we might arrest the wrong person.' Lao Chengan stopped, 'Alright, let's eat first.' Carrying the food box, the four went to the boiler room.

Hu Wei wiped the small table, and Lao Chengan took out the dishes. Only four dishes, but all hearty: stewed chicken, sliced pork knuckle, steamed pork with rice flour, braised prawns — all Jiang Xia's favorites.

The feast was for her, so Jiang Xia didn't stand on ceremony. She said 'let's eat' and dug into the pork knuckle. After eating too many vegetables, fatty pork knuckle was truly delicious!

They had an arrest in the afternoon, so Wu Suo didn't drink. He peeled a prawn and said slowly, 'Old Qin, you really splurged on this meal.' 'Happy!' Lao Chengan drank some water, recalling the arrest the day before, 'It was a coincidence.

We planned to wait until they gathered and take them all out, but unexpectedly three gangs were having a meeting together. Perfect, we caught them all!' Wu Suo was puzzled, 'Why were they meeting?' Lao Chengan squinted, remembering, 'They were asking about a very skilled thief — a Zhe Wang.' Jiang Xia's hand holding the chopsticks paused.

No way, such a coincidence? 'That gang Jiang Xia identified — they encountered a thief on the train who stole their wallets back.

Heard he was extremely skilled, scared them badly. So they invited people to a meal to ask around, and that's how we caught them all.' Then Lao Chengan suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Xia, 'Coincidentally, that Zhe Wang seems to have been on the same train you came back on!'
