I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

Chapter 44 This is what you call a master thief

Qin Zheng stood outside the interrogation room, looking at the slender hand-shaped tattoo.

The tattoo is very faint.

It looks like it was washed on purpose.

But under the police station's white lights, the outline was still discernible.

A hand emerged from the clouds.

The fingers are slender with slightly bent knuckles, as if they are about to take something from someone else's arms.

Qin Zheng stared at it for a few seconds, his brows slowly furrowing.

The young police officer next to him whispered, "Captain Qin, is there a problem with this tattoo?"

Qin Zheng did not answer immediately.

After a while, he whispered, "Cloud-Piercing Hand."

The young police officer was stunned for a moment.

"Is it the one Ling'er was talking about earlier?"

Qin Zheng nodded.

"Old pickpockets in the underworld don't call themselves thieves."

"They divided their skill of earning a living into many different categories."

"The lowest grade is called 'touching pocket'."

"Further up, it's about clipping your bag, removing your wrist, and bending your waist."

"Only those who have truly mastered the art dare to call themselves Cloud-Piercing Hands."

The young police officer was stunned.

"So particular?"

Qin Zheng glanced at him.

"They can steal wallets, watches, and gold chains in a crowd without alerting anyone, and then pass them on to their accomplices without leaving a trace."

"This is not something one person can achieve alone."

There must be an organization behind this.

The young police officer gasped.

"How could little Shen Ling'er know that?"

Qin Zheng fell silent.

He also wanted to know the answer to this question.

Shen Ling'er is skilled in too many things.

Lock picking, treasure appraisal, medical skills, fortune telling, car racing, and anti-pickpocketing.

Now another Cloud-Piercing Hand has emerged.

And none of them seem to be something you learn casually.

It's more like someone broke her down piece by piece and fed it to her, instilling it into her very bones.

Only two words came to Qin Zheng's mind.

Shen Fei.

The man who has never shown his face, yet has already crushed everyone's imagination.

Qin Zheng rubbed his temples.

"This Shen Fei..."

The young police officer immediately perked up his ears.

Qin Zheng looked at him.

Don't ask.

The young police officer immediately stood up straight.

"yes!"

On the other side, in the police station lobby.

He Chuan finally brought the program flow back to normal.

He stood in front of the camera, trying his best to keep smiling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what just happened was just a small episode in our experience of convenient services."

Zhao Lei, who was sitting next to him drinking water, choked on his drink when he heard this.

"A little incident?"

"Teacher He, do you have some misunderstanding about the little incident?"

Bai Sisi was also looking at him.

"Did your little incident lead to the arrest of a pickpocketing gang?"

He Chuan's lips twitched.

He was also desperate.

The police station career experience was originally arranged to be very heartwarming.

The children are handing out flyers.

Learn how to call the police.

Visit the police cars.

At most, we can simulate anti-fraud measures.

As a result, Shen Ling'er sat at the lost and found registration desk and turned the lost and found registration into a criminal investigation scene.

The live stream chat was still flooded with comments.

Shen Ling'er: Why register lost items? I'll just register the thief.

"Is this child a hidden, unregistered staff member of the police force?"

"What's 'Cloud-Piercing Hand'? It sounds so cool!"

"Shen Fei, come out here and explain yourself! Why are you teaching your daughter this kind of thing?"

"While other dads teach their daughters to play the piano, Shen Fei teaches his daughter how to avoid being pickpocketed."

"This father isn't just mysterious, he's outrageous."

Shen Ling'er sat on a small stool, earnestly munching on a small cookie.

Yang Mi sat down next to her, looking down at her.

"Ling'er".

"Um?"

"What else did your dad teach you?"

Shen Ling'er took a bite of the cookie and thought for a moment.

"Mom, do you want to hear what can be broadcast, or what can't be broadcast?"

Yang Mi: "..."

He Chuan almost dropped the script in his hand.

Zhao Lei immediately moved closer.

"Are there still things that can't be broadcast?"

Shen Ling'er glanced at him.

"You want to know?"

Zhao Lei swallowed hard.

"It's not that I particularly want to."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"My dad said that being too curious makes you an easy target for being stuffed into a sack."

Zhao Lei silently sat back down.

The comments section was filled with laughter.

Zhao Lei: I survived.

"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's family education philosophy is too hardcore."

"Curiosity killed the cat; Shenfei version: Curiosity will get you into a sack."

Yang Mi was both annoyed and amused.

She reached out and wiped the crumbs from Shen Ling'er's mouth.

"Mom is asking you seriously."

Shen Ling'er looked up at her.

"I answered seriously too."

Yang Mi was helpless.

"So, did your father really teach you that Cloud-Piercing Hand technique?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Um."

Why did he teach you?

Shen Ling'er spoke with righteous indignation.

"Because my candy was stolen when I was a child."

Yang Mi was taken aback.

"Who stole it?"

Shen Ling'er lowered her head and bit into a cookie.

"My dad."

Yang Mi: "..."

Shen Ling'er continued, "He said, if I can't even protect the candy, how will I protect my mother in the future?"

Yang Mi was taken aback.

She originally wanted to say that Shen Fei was being ridiculous.

But when I heard the last half of the sentence, my heart suddenly softened.

Shen Ling'er finished eating the biscuits and clapped her hands.

"I learned it later."

"and then?"

"Then I stole his tea leaves."

Yang Mi: "..."

Shen Ling'er's expression was calm.

He searched for a long time.

Zhao Lei was shocked when he heard this.

"You stole your dad's tea leaves?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Just practicing."

Zhao Lei asked in a low voice, "Shen Fei isn't angry?"

Shen Ling'er shook her head.

He said I have talent.

Zhao Lei fell silent.

After a few seconds, he said seriously, "So this is the closed loop of father-daughter education."

Bai Sisi looked at him.

"What closed loop?"

Zhao Lei summarized by counting on his fingers.

"First, steal your daughter's candy to force her to learn how to avoid being a pickpocket."

"After the daughter learned it, she started stealing her father's tea leaves."

"Not only was Dad not angry, but he also praised his daughter for her talent."

"In the end, my daughter went on a TV show and busted the pickpocket gang."

He paused.

"Shen Fei, even his act of stealing candy seems like a carefully planned scheme."

The barrage of comments exploded instantly.

"Hahaha, the behind-the-scenes bragging is back again!"

Shen Fei: I didn't steal candy, I stole the future.

"Help, I'm starting to think that everything Shen Fei does has a deeper meaning."

"This man has already shown his true colors before he even appeared on screen."

Just as the atmosphere in the hall was gradually easing, Qin Zheng returned.

He was holding a temporary document in his hand.

His expression was much more serious than before.

Yang Mi noticed it.

"Captain Qin, what's wrong?"

Qin Zheng didn't beat around the bush.

"Those three people weren't ordinary pickpockets."

"They likely belong to a mobile theft gang."

He Chuan immediately tensed up.

"Another gang?"

Qin Zheng nodded.

"This gang has been active at major transportation hubs in recent years."

"Train stations, bus stations, hospital entrances, scenic spots, shopping malls."

They specifically target the elderly, out-of-town travelers, and parents with children.

Zhao Lei slammed his hand on the table.

"That's so unethical."

Qin Zheng continued, "They may have a division of labor within the organization: some are scouts, some are the perpetrators, some are the ones who transfer the stolen goods, and others are specifically tasked with monitoring the police's movements."

"Those three people were just the outermost layer."

Chen Doudou, dressed in a police uniform, raised her hand.

"Uncle Qin, let's go catch them!"

Lin Jia grabbed him and pressed him down.

"No, sit down."

Shen Ling'er looked up.

Where are they?

Yang Mi immediately grabbed her.

"Ling'er".

Shen Ling'er blinked.

"Mother, I'm just asking."

Yang Mi did not believe it.

Qin Zheng didn't believe it either.

He looked at Shen Ling'er and remained silent for a few seconds.

"The bureau was originally planning to take down this gang today."

He Chuan was taken aback.

"Was it originally planned?"

Qin Zheng nodded.

"But this tattoo just now confirmed their organizational structure."

"Therefore, the operation will be brought forward."

The director's eyes gradually lit up as he listened.

Police operation to apprehend suspects.

Anti-pickpocketing gang.

Is it okay to film this?

Can this be broadcast?

If this gets broadcast, we won't need to buy any trending topics tonight.

Qin Zheng glanced at the director.

Don't overthink it.

The director immediately composed himself.

"I wasn't thinking about anything."

Qin Zheng said calmly, "Field operations cannot be filmed."

director:"……"

He Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Great.

At least nothing bad will happen.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Zheng added, "However, the publicity center can film safety education content."

"The children will stay at the station."

"No going out."

When he said the last four words, he looked specifically at Shen Ling'er.

Shen Ling'er crossed her arms.

"I follow the rules very well."

Qin Zheng: "I hope you are."

Shen Ling'er frowned.

"Uncle, you don't believe me."

Qin Zheng calmly said, "Experience tells me that I can't believe everything."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Captain Qin understands things too well."

Shen Ling'er: I follow the rules very well. Captain Qin: You better be.

"A five-year-old child made the criminal investigation captain feel a sense of professional crisis."

Qin Zheng turned around to leave.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Shen Ling'er.

"What you just used, was it just the Cloud-Piercing Hand technique?"

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"Um."

Qin Zheng asked, "Did your father teach you anything about the Cloud-Piercing Hand technique?"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Yang Mi also looked at her daughter.

Shen Ling'er stopped eating the cookie.

She thought about it.

"I taught you a little."

Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"What's your name?"

Shen Ling'er stuffed the last bite of the cookie into her mouth.

The voice was muffled, yet perfectly clear.

"Reaching for the stars."

Qin Zheng's pupils contracted slightly.

He Chuan didn't understand.

"Reaching for the stars?"

Zhao Lei gasped.

"This name doesn't sound like a proper extracurricular class."

Shen Ling'er patted the cookie crumbs off her hands.

"The Cloud-Piercing Hand is for taking things from other people."

"It's not about reaching for the stars."

Qin Zheng asked, "What is that?"

Shen Ling'er tilted her head up.

"Let others deliver things to me themselves."

The hall fell silent instantly.

A few seconds later.

The comments section went completely crazy.

"??????"

"Having someone else deliver it themselves? What level of service is that?"

"The Cloud-Piercing Hand technique is already invisible; how can Star-Picking be even more outrageous?"

"Just who exactly is Shen Fei, the grandmaster of thieves?"

"This isn't just stealing, this is changing the rules!"

Yang Mi rubbed his temples.

She felt she understood Shen Fei less and less.

She used to think Shen Fei was just mysterious.

Later, it was discovered that he was skilled in medicine.

Later, it was discovered that he could appraise treasures, pick locks, tell fortunes, and race cars.

Now there are also Cloud Explorer and Star Picker.

Yang Mi looked down at Shen Ling'er.

"Ling'er".

"Um?"

"How much did your dad actually teach you?"

Shen Ling'er thought about it very seriously.

Then he shook his head.

"have no idea."

Yang Mi: "Why didn't you know?"

Shen Ling'er said, "He didn't recite the names of the dishes when he taught us."

Zhao Lei almost burst out laughing.

"They didn't announce the menu, is that alright?"

"Shenfei: Today we're not teaching math, today we're teaching how to reach for the stars."

"This guy really raises his daughter like a young master of the martial arts world."

Qin Zheng couldn't laugh.

He looked at Shen Ling'er.

Reaching for the stars.

He had never heard of this name before.

But he knew that there were indeed similar rumors circulating in the martial arts world.

True masters don't rely on brute force.

Instead, it leverages external forces, people, and hearts.

Let the target reveal itself, move on its own, and hand over its contents on its own.

This is no longer just about being fast.

It was a terrifying level of vision, psychology, rhythm, and layout.

Qin Zheng had only one thought in his mind.

Who exactly is Shen Fei?

He suppressed his emotions.

"Ling'er, you are not allowed to use the Star Picking Technique today."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

Why?

Qin Zheng: "It's easy for something to go wrong."

Shen Ling'er blinked.

"I don't use it on good people."

Qin Zheng: "Bad people are not allowed either."

Shen Ling'er was a little unhappy.

"So I'm just sitting here doing nothing?"

Qin Zheng pointed to the brochure on the table.

"Distribute anti-fraud leaflets."

Shen Ling'er glanced at the flyer, then at Qin Zheng.

Her little face was full of disdain.

"This is too easy."

Qin Zheng calmly replied, "It's safe."

Shen Ling'er sighed.

"Alright."

She dragged her small stool and sat down in the anti-fraud publicity area.

He Chuan was finally relieved.

Distributing flyers.

Surely nothing bad will happen here.

Ten minutes later.

The anti-pickpocketing operation at the train station has officially begun.

The municipal bureau dispatched multiple teams.

One team is responsible for the waiting hall.

Team Two is in charge of the ticket booths.

Team 3 is responsible for the entrance.

Team Four is responsible for the underground passage.

Qin Zheng personally oversaw operations from the command center.

On the large screen, surveillance footage from various locations within the train station kept switching.

Several veteran police officers were eager to get started.

"Captain Qin, our team will definitely catch the most this time."

"Don't brag, your team didn't catch as many as our team during last year's Spring Festival travel rush."

"Whoever loses tonight treats everyone to midnight snacks."

"Sure, let's have a competition."

Qin Zheng listened to their bickering, and his expression finally softened a little.

This kind of competition is common in the police force.

It's not for the sake of merit.

It's to boost morale.

Catching a pickpocket might save an elderly person's money for medical treatment.

Catching one gang could save a group of travelers from suffering.

The atmosphere in the command center was both tense and enthusiastic.

On the other hand, things are much easier at the publicity center.

Shen Ling'er sat behind a small table with a stack of anti-fraud leaflets in front of her.

Chen Doudou, Zhao Mengmeng, and Zhou Xiaoyu all surrounded her.

Chen Doudou asked, "Ling'er, how do we distribute anti-fraud flyers?"

Shen Ling'er picked up a card and looked at it.

"Give money to people who seem like they'd be fooled."

Chen Doudou nodded earnestly.

"Who seems like they'd be fooled?"

Shen Ling'er looked at Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei's face stiffened.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Shen Ling'er handed him the flyer.

"Uncle, take two."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The screen was filled with laughter from the comments section.

"Ling'er accurately identifies potential victims of fraud."

Zhao Lei: I was just standing here, and I was immediately targeted by fraud prevention measures.

Shen Ling'er: You look very easy to fool.

Zhao Lei was unconvinced.

"How could I possibly be fooled?"

Shen Ling'er asked, "If someone said you could get ten pounds of eggs by scanning a QR code, would you scan it?"

Zhao Lei remained silent for two seconds.

"How much is the shipping fee?"

Bai Sisi: "..."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Take five."

The hall erupted in laughter.

He Chuan wiped his forehead.

it is good.

well.

This is what a parent-child variety show should be like.

Relaxed.

interesting.

Safety.

The next second, Shen Ling'er suddenly stood up.

Yang Mi immediately became alert.

"Ling'er, where are you going?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the doorway.

"Distribute flyers."
