Chapter 5: I just retrieved my own account!

The group walked along the street, with Liu Jianguo leading the way in front, while Zhou Chun had finally reacted and was currently there asking about the situation incessantly.

In her words, could it be that there was some mistake somewhere?

Because the case was not being investigated by Qingshan County, and it was still in the investigative stage, it was impossible for Lao Zhang to say anything.

However, he knew in his heart that for a case that was already almost a nailed-down certainty, it was impossible for there to be a mistake.

His colleagues had gone directly to that trading platform and, through the personal information Liu Xu had left on the platform, found his home directly.

Yes, the account trading platform actually contained personal information such as Liu Xu's ID number.

When Zhou Yi had approached them, according to the platform's procedure, they were supposed to provide him with this information so he could negotiate with the seller himself.

As a result, when Zhou Yi saw that he had to negotiate himself, he immediately got furious and started ranting on the spot, so this information was not provided.

Then, the police from the location of the trading platform Company came to the door; seeing this situation, there was no need to hesitate at all, and they cooperated fully.

That is why they found Liu Xu's home so quickly.

The most important point was that a Notice of Criminal Detention had already been issued for this!

On this side, seeing that these few police officers were not speaking, Zhou Chun also shut her mouth, just walking forward with her head down.

After Liu Xu started university, he basically wouldn't go far when he came back; there were only a few places, and the one he went to most was a milk tea shop near his home.

Inside, as long as you ordered a drink, you could stay for half a day; there was Wi-Fi and you could charge your devices, so it was considered the favorite place for these kids who played mobile games.

At the shop entrance, looking through the glass window, Zhou Chun quickly found her son.

"Officer, look, Xiao Xu is right inside. Could you take another look? Surely there's been a mistake..."

Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Alright, Teacher Zhou, to avoid any incidents, the two of you can come in with me, and we will take Liu Xu away quickly."

"Xiao Wang, get the recording device ready. Xiao Zhou, get the police equipment ready!"

The other two young men nodded in agreement, although based on experience, it was impossible for Liu Xu to resist.

But in an old criminal investigator's dictionary, there is no such thing as absolute; when making an arrest, one should be as steady as possible.

Zhou Chun wanted to say something more, but Lao Zhang had already taken the lead and walked in, and the two young criminal police officers behind him followed in as well.

Two others remained guarding the entrance.

Inside the milk tea shop, a bunch of young people were playing heatedly; there were university students, and of course, high school students and even middle school students.

From time to time, all sorts of sounds would ring out, things like "This Yao is so amazing," or "My Liu Bei is super skilled."

The door was pushed open, and many people looked up and then froze; they had never seen police enter their place before.

The milk tea shop owner behind the counter also saw Lao Zhang and his group and hurriedly walked out, saying, "Officers, officers, this is..."

Clatter! Lao Zhang flashed his police badge and said, "Qingshan County Criminal Police Team, executing a mission."

This posture made the milk tea shop owner shut his mouth immediately.

Liu Xu and his friends naturally noticed this group as well, and someone whispered there, "Hey guys, what are they here for? Such a big scene!"

Liu Xu shook his head to indicate he didn't know: "Who knows? Hey, hey, hey, your luck is too rotten; you can even pull someone like 'Old Master Lu'—he's already been down and out for a long time, okay?"

It was because Zhou Yi had topped up too much and hadn't finished using it, so they were taking turns pulling cards here to experience the feeling of being wealthy.

"Brother Xu, we haven't seen this before, right? Don't move, I'm recording a video to post on Bilibili. I'm telling you, it will definitely scare those people to death."

"There are more Primogems than their gold coins!"

The few of them started messing around again, completely unaware that Lao Zhang and his group had already walked toward them.

Just then, someone looked up and suddenly said in surprise, "Brother Xu, look over there; behind those police officers, it looks like your dad and mom."

They had all grown up together, so they were very familiar with each other's parents.

Really?

Liu Xu looked up, and good heavens, it really was his parents.

Looking again at the police officers in front of his parents, Liu Xu suddenly felt nervous.

One knows one's own affairs best; the account he sold, someone else had topped up who knows how much money, and he had retrieved it.

There were many people online who had called the police, although nothing had come of it, but... but there was no need for this, right? It was just retrieving an account.

However, it couldn't be confirmed yet, so Liu Xu's face only turned a bit pale.

The group of people watched as Lao Zhang came to a stop in front of them.

But before Lao Zhang could speak, Zhou Chun behind him stepped forward and shouted, "Xiao Xu, whatever this police uncle asks you in a moment, answer honestly."

Lao Zhang looked at Zhou Chun helplessly again, then turned around and said, "You are Liu Xu, right?"

Liu Xu's eyes held nervousness, but he still nodded.

And his few friends didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment, or rather, they had never seen such a scene in all their lives.

Of course, these friends, including others in the milk tea shop who were watching the excitement, were also quite curious about what law this young man had broken.

Many people here knew Liu Xu; after all, he was the famous "child of someone else," and they had heard his name from their parents countless times since they were small.

So they were all pricking up their ears to listen.

"Alright Liu Xu, I am now notifying you that because you are suspected of the crime of Theft, and the amount is particularly huge, upon approval, you are now under Criminal Detention. Is that clear?"

Upon hearing the words "suspected of the crime of Theft" and "under Criminal Detention," Liu Xu's face instantly turned incomparably pale.

And the few friends beside him were filled with shock!

No way, how could Liu Xu commit theft? His parents were both teachers; they weren't rich, but they couldn't be said to need to steal things.

Furthermore, it was an amount that was "particularly huge"!

Liu Xu muttered, "No, that's impossible. I just... I just retrieved my own account. How is that theft?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun and Liu Jianguo still had blank expressions, just feeling that what their son said seemed very reasonable.

"Son, what exactly did you do? If you retrieved your own account, then explain it clearly to this police uncle! Once you explain it clearly, it will be fine!" Zhou Chun shouted there.

"That's right, Officer, how come it sounds like some account retrieval? This isn't theft, right? Let Xiao Xu explain it clearly," Liu Jianguo said as well.

Of course, apart from the two of them, the remaining young people in the milk tea shop had understood a little bit.

Especially Liu Xu's friends, as fellow players of Genshin Demon, almost instantly thought of that account with a terrifyingly high amount of top-ups.

So, everything Liu Xu said before was fake?

He sold this account, the other person spent a pile of money on it, and then he retrieved it?

Second update. During the new book period, everyone's follow-up reading is really, really important; this determines whether this book can take off. Thank you all.
