Chapter 44: A Strange New Skill: Empty Hands
"Quick, take the portrait and enter it into the system for comparison."

Xia Jie made a prompt decision.

Now they are racing against time with the criminals. The sooner they identify the criminals, the higher the possibility of arresting them.

At this point in time, because the bank was robbed, the entire place was on alert and the criminals might not be able to escape from Ningcheng in a short time.

Once the criminals escape, even if their identities are confirmed, it will be very difficult to catch them.

Wang Li took the portrait and hurried over to compare it. Not long after, he hurried back: "Captain Xia, I found it."

"Who?"

"Zhou Hong."

"Zhou Hong?"

Xia Jie frowned subconsciously: "Why do I feel like I've heard of this name somewhere?"

"Captain Xia, your feeling is correct."

Wang Li handed Zhou Hong's information to Xia Jie and said, "This Zhou Hong is not an ordinary person. He was just released from prison. It has been less than a month since he was released. It was Captain Li who cooperated with the Municipal Bureau to arrest this group of people."

"No wonder I feel so familiar with it."

"Where is Zhou Hong now?"

Wang Li immediately said, "After checking the surveillance footage near Zhou Hong's residence, we found that Zhou Hong and several of his accomplices who were arrested that year went to a nearby club."

"Notify everyone to prepare to arrest the person."

"Yes."

Wang Li left in a hurry again.

Xia Jie turned her head and said, "Xiao Su, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for, Auntie? This is what I should do."

"Since the person has been identified, I won't let you go to the arrest operation. I'll send someone to drive you back later?"

"No, I can just go back by myself."

Su Rui was about to leave when Xia Jie stopped him again and said, "By the way, the bonus for helping the police catch criminals these few times should be deposited into your account in the next two days. Please pay attention to it and tell me if the amount is wrong."

"it is good."

After saying that, Su Rui left in a hurry.

Xia Jie and others were not idle either. After everything was ready, they drove away from Beijiang Branch in their own cars.

……

Muyun Pavilion Leisure Club.

A luxuriously decorated room was filled with smoke.

"Brother, I worked on construction sites for a few years after I got out of jail and only saved 18,000 yuan. This time, I was so lucky that I made 7 or 8 million yuan easily."

"The most important thing is that those policemen probably never dreamed that we would dare to rob a bank not long after being released from prison. I'm afraid they must be racking their brains at this moment."

"It's better to hang out with big brother. Damn it, we've had such a miserable life in the past few years since we got out. Because we've been in prison, we're not welcome anywhere we go to find a job. We can only work as laborers on construction sites."

"The key is that the salary is still low. Even if you work yourself to death, you still can't earn much."

Zhou Hong couldn't help but feel flattered by his subordinates, but he lowered his voice and said, "Keep a low profile for me recently. I will give you the money later. As I said before, don't be extravagant when spending money. Live the same way as before. When the limelight is over, we will leave Ningcheng and go to the south. Then we can use the money to start a company and clean ourselves up."

"Brother, you really don't need to be so nervous. We didn't expect you to lead us to rob a bank right after you got out. How could those policemen have thought of that?"

"You will never suspect us, even if you kill yourself!"

"Besides, we have destroyed the bank's surveillance. It only took a short while for the mask on your face to fall off. It's not certain that anyone saw it. Even if someone did, who would remember it?"

"So what if I remember it? Ningcheng is a city with millions of people. Not to mention that I can't meet him, even if I meet him, I won't recognize him."

"That's true."

Several people puffed out smoke and burst into laughter.

Hearing this, Zhou Hong thought of the young man who almost detained him in the bank. As a released prisoner, if he was caught again this time, what awaited him would not be as simple as jail time. He robbed a bank with a gun and killed someone, so shooting was the only possibility.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hong felt inexplicably irritated, especially the arrogance of his brothers, which made him even more angry.

Zhou Hong suddenly put out the cigarette in his hand, stood up, and said fiercely: "Don't say I didn't explain it clearly. If anyone has implicated everyone or me in this matter, God will not give face."

The luxurious private room suddenly became quiet.

The few people who were originally bragging about Zhou Hong were now silent and did not dare to look Zhou Hong in the eye.

Seeing that they had shut up, Zhou Hong sat down and said calmly, "I still say the same thing. Please restrain yourself during this period of time."

"Especially you, Dayi."

"Last time, it was because of your flamboyance that everyone spent more than ten years in prison. This time, I am still willing to work with you because I believe you will change."

Being stared at by Zhou Hong suddenly, Li Dayi's body trembled: "Brother...Brother, I've got it in mind."

Zhou Hong nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the others: "It's the same for you. If we are arrested again this time, even if the police don't ask us to eat bullets, at least we will be sentenced to life imprisonment. We are all grown up, do you want to stay in prison for the rest of your life?"

Zhou Hong's words were somewhat intimidating. Several people lowered their heads and no longer had the arrogance they had just now.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Zhou Hong suddenly relaxed: "But don't be too nervous, everyone. Just like you said, the police would never think it was us who did it."

"But don't let your guard down. Eat and drink as usual, go to work when you should, stay at home with your wife and children when you should, and stay at home if you have nothing to do."

"I'll give you some of the money first, and we'll talk about the rest after the storm has died down."

As he spoke, Zhou Hong took out a few bulging envelopes from his bag and threw them in front of Li Dayi and the others: "Spend sparingly."

Just as Zhou Hong threw the money out and Li Dayi and others had not had time to reach out to take it, the door of the private room that had been closed suddenly opened and a group of policemen swarmed in.

Before Zhou Hong and others could react, they were all under control.

For a moment, several people looked at each other, all confused.

Zhou Hong even shouted that he was innocent: "Officer..."

"Zhou Hong, you are so brave! You just got released from prison and you took people to rob a bank. Do you really think we are fools?"

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Anmin. He swallowed the words back and looked pale.

"how come……"

“How did the police know it was me?”

Zhou Hong looked incredulous. According to his understanding, as the bank's surveillance was destroyed, even if his appearance was seen by people who were in the bank at the time, the police would not suspect him as long as no one took a photo of him.

But the fact is, he was arrested right after he robbed the bank, and it took only an hour. If his face had not been captured on camera, it would have been impossible for him to be arrested so quickly.

Zhou Hong subconsciously glanced at Li Dayi.

According to the division of labor, Li Dayi was the one responsible for destroying the surveillance at that time.

Stared at by Zhou Hong's fierce eyes, Li Dayi was frightened and incoherent: "Brother, I...I destroyed all the surveillance cameras, and I even checked them again. It has nothing to do with me." Zhou Hong chose to believe Li Dayi, but he really couldn't understand why.

"why?"

Zhou Hong didn't plan to resist, but asked unwillingly: "Why can you be sure that it was us so quickly?"

"Can't figure it out? There are so many things in this world that you can't figure out." Li Anmin didn't give too much explanation, but sneered.

He didn't have any good feelings towards these armed robbers.

At this moment, the figure of a young man flashed through Zhou Hong's mind.

is it him?
……

Su Rui handed the three thousand dollars to Brother Wang and scratched his head awkwardly: "Brother Wang, I ran into an emergency when I went to withdraw the money, so I'm bringing the money to you now."

Brother Wang didn't think much about it, but when he heard this, he asked, "Xiao Su, didn't you go to the nearby Ningcheng Bank to withdraw money this morning?"

Su Rui looked at him in surprise.

Brother Wang is not a fool. A man in his forties or fifties, he knew at a glance that his guess was correct. He was relieved and said, "Xiao Su, I heard about the Ningcheng Bank being robbed at gunpoint. Fortunately, you are fine. Otherwise, I, your brother Wang, will never be at peace in this life."

Su Rui said casually: "I'm fine, I just squatted for a while holding my head. But the bank security guard at the scene..."

Shaking his head, Su Rui didn't say anything else.

Being hit in the chest by a shotgun at close range, the security guard would probably be in great danger even if he was sent to the hospital in time.

Sister Zheng, who was busy doing something in the house, rushed out with a feather duster when she heard that Su Rui had been robbed at gunpoint when he went to get the money for them. She directly hit Brother Wang a few times: "Look at what you have done. I told you to go get the money a long time ago but you refused to go. You almost hurt Xiao Su."

"If something happens to Xiao Su, how will you explain it to his parents?"

Brother Wang didn't hide or explain when he was beaten.

Until now, he still feels somewhat fortunate.

The bank was robbed at gunpoint, shots were fired at the scene, and people died. It was thanks to his ancestors that Su Rui was able to withdraw the money safely.

How dare he explain?

Based on his understanding of his wife, the more he explained, the harder she would beat him.

Moreover, he did something wrong.

Although Su Rui often saw the couple quarreling, it was the first time he saw Sister Zheng hit Brother Wang, and he was stunned for a moment.

The key point is that Sister Zheng was too cruel, she really hit him!

It looks painful when the feather duster hits your body.

After a while, perhaps because she was tired of fighting, Sister Zheng returned to the house cursing after being persuaded by Su Rui.

As soon as Sister Zheng left, Brother Wang looked at Su Rui with resentment on his face: "Xiao Su, I kept winking at you, why didn't you stop your Sister Zheng for a moment!"

"what?"

"I didn't see it!"

Su Rui spread his hands. He really didn't see it. He was just frightened by the momentum of Sister Zheng's beating. How could he have the time to pay attention to Brother Wang's eyes.

Thinking of how Brother Wang was about to cry after being beaten, Su Rui was extremely embarrassed: "Well, Brother Wang, I'm really sorry! I was frightened by the aura of Big Sister, and I didn't see you winking at me."

"Forget it."

Brother Wang was extremely depressed and rubbed his buttocks: "That woman really beat me!"

Su Rui wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that Brother Wang would blame him for not stopping him, so he had to hold it in.

Finally, I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I said hello to Brother Wang and hurried home. Just as I changed my shoes, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of me.

[Successfully assisted the police in arresting five armed bank robbers and won a lucky draw]

"Did they catch someone?"

Su Rui did not expect that the Beijiang Branch would act so quickly. It had only been less than half an hour since he left the Beijiang Branch.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hong and others were successfully arrested and brought to justice.

【Will there be a lucky draw? 】

"Yes!" Su Rui said silently in his heart.

[Start lottery! 】

As a flash of light passed before my eyes, a new prompt suddenly popped up in front of me.

[You have acquired a new skill, Empty Hands! ]

"Nothing?"

When Su Rui saw the skill name for the first time, he didn’t know what kind of skill it was, but he opened the introduction of the new skill with full anticipation.

[Empty Hands: Your hands have extraordinary speed and flexibility. You can easily take other people's things into your own hands and turn them into your own things. With it, you are only one hand away from becoming the legendary thief. The opportunity to make a fortune is at your fingertips. Come on, as long as you want, you will find that there is nothing in this world that you cannot steal.]

To be honest, when Su Rui first saw the skill introduction, he was quite looking forward to it, but the more he read on, the darker his face became, and in the end he was so angry that he directly closed the information panel.

Compared with the previous skills, Miaoshoukongkong is not very cruel, but too cruel. Saying that the opportunity to make a fortune is right at hand, isn't this just asking him to steal things?

Is there anything I can't steal?
Su Rui really believed this.

The several skills drawn in succession have proved the magic of the Game No Life Ring.

But he is a good citizen who abides by the law and has no shortage of money, so the skill of the Empty Hand is completely useless to him.

But then again, after acquiring the skill of Empty Hands, Su Rui really felt that his hands had become extremely flexible.

Su Rui had a feeling that as long as he moved his hands, he had the confidence that he could easily turn the contents of other people's pockets into his own.

From this point of view, there is really nothing wrong with Miaoshoukongkong's introduction.

As long as he stretched out his hand, the God of Thieves would be only one step away from him.

Can……

His mother-in-law is a police officer!

The old man in the family are both retired soldiers with good family background. If he runs away to become a thief, not to mention Comrade Xia Jie, his old man and old man would probably beat him to death.

God of Thieves, forget it in this life.

Of course, Su Rui himself didn't want to be a thief who was not presentable.

"It's too difficult to draw a normal skill in this lifetime."

Su Rui sighed. He had originally thought that since he had drawn a racing king before, the skill extraction should be normal. But now it seems that not only is it not normal, but it is actually leading him into a ditch.

This time I tricked him into becoming a thief, but what about next time?
Could he be some kind of bandit?
