[The streamer intervened? What does that mean? Did the streamer just make a move? But I didn't see it...]
[Hahaha, the host is spouting witty remarks! I don't know what they mean, but they're really classy.]
If I understand correctly, the streamer means that he just made a move and put the wallet back!
[Hiss! This can't be real, how could it be!]
The streamer barely passed these people by; how could he possibly have the time to retrieve three wallets all at once?
[Yeah, if that's really the case, it's too unbelievable. Your wallet is back in the blink of an eye?]
...
The fans in the live stream expressed their incomprehension at this point.
Because Xu Lu's contact with those two groups of people was so brief that no one believed he had enough time to retrieve three wallets!
But if Xu Lu hadn't stepped in to retrieve the wallet, the audience couldn't think of any other reason, because the chances of the thieves putting the wallet back on their own were even lower!
Compared to the bewildered fans, Xu Lu himself was quite happy.
This gave him another opportunity to showcase his skills. Although the fans couldn't see his technique clearly, it didn't matter much.
Because the '1/3' after 'Mastery of Thieves' on the attribute panel has changed to '2/3'.
In other words, his earlier action of "using their own methods against them" against the thieves was an effective use of his skill.
As for the first time I used the 'Master of Thieves' skill, it was naturally when I was peeling eggs on the set of the 'Thieves of the World' movie.
...
It was in a small alley that Xu Lu and the viewers in the live stream couldn't see.
The pickpockets who had just committed the theft have now stopped to check their loot and deal with the stolen goods.
Because the crime had gone quite smoothly, the pickpockets were now chatting and laughing.
But the next moment, the tall, thin pickpocket felt like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
He discovered that his bag was completely empty; the thick wallet he had just taken from the pocket of a fat sheep had vanished without a trace.
His companion noticed his expression and casually asked, "..."
"Old man, what are you doing? Are you stupid? Quickly take the money out of your wallet and throw the bag away!"
"It's gone! My wallet is gone!"
The tall, thin pickpocket, who only snapped out of his daze after being called by his companion, now looked like he'd seen a ghost and muttered to himself.
"What do you mean? The wallet...wait, where's the bag I stole? It's gone!"
The woman in red, who was just about to interject, was now also rummaging through her bag in shock.
But when she turned her bag upside down, the wallet she had taken from someone else's bag not long ago was nowhere to be found.
Soon, the other two thieves also noticed something amiss; the wallets they had stolen had mysteriously vanished as well…
Just as the pickpockets were completely bewildered and somewhat nervous, a loud shout rang out from behind them:
"Police! Don't move! Hands behind your heads, stand facing the wall!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than several plainclothes anti-pickpocket officers appeared out of nowhere before the thieves could even react and try to escape.
Soon, all four pickpockets in the gang were apprehended.
To the surprise of the plainclothes officers, no stolen goods were found on the pickpockets!
The plainclothes officer leading the team sneered and said:
"You guys are something else! You moved the stolen goods way too fast! Tell me! Where did you hide them?"
"Officer, would you believe me if I said we weren't thieves?"
One of the thieves, hoping to get away with it, spoke up.
The officer continued with a cold laugh, saying:
"I advise you not to have these pointless fantasies. We've been watching you for days and have already seen your theft on the surveillance footage."
Now, just honestly point out the location of the stolen goods, and everyone'll be relieved!
Hearing this, the thieves all hung their heads in dejection. The one who had spoken earlier looked sullen and said:
"Officer, if I told you we didn't find any wallets today, would you believe me?"
Hearing this, the police officer was shocked and said:
"Wow! I didn't expect him to be such a tough nut to crack. Even at this point, he's still being stubborn. Do you think the surveillance footage we saw was fake?"
Just ten minutes ago, the four of you committed pickpocketing against a group of tourists exiting the station; the evidence is irrefutable.
"But officer, we really didn't find the wallet. You can search us if you don't believe me..."
We didn't have time to hide the stolen goods. We really messed up today. Can we describe yesterday's crime?
The pickpockets spoke with expressions of terror.
The plainclothes officers exchanged glances and then laughed.
"I didn't expect to run into someone so challenging, haha, this is getting interesting, let's take them back and interrogate them properly!"
"Officer, we didn't have any challenges. No, we really didn't succeed!"
"Oh no, or rather, they succeeded at first, but when they returned here, all the wallets they'd stolen had mysteriously disappeared!"
A pickpocket shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, their words sounded like sophistry to the plainclothes officers, and soon all four were taken back.
But half an hour later, the plainclothes officers were also dumbfounded.
No matter how they asked, the pickpockets insisted that they hadn't found any wallets that day.
Logically speaking, since these pickpockets have already been caught and there is surveillance footage, there is no need to hide it, and it is impossible to hide it anyway.
But the truth is that the pickpockets all said that they did indeed take the wallet from the fat sheep earlier, but when they came back later, the wallet was gone.
