Chapter 49 You have better skills than me, you can’t be a policeman
With Ding Zhifeng’s introduction, Su Rui met the owner of Villa No. 3, Wei Zichao, who started his business by stealing and achieved financial freedom.

Wei Zichao is in his forties, but he doesn’t look old.

On the contrary, Wei Zichao only looks to be in his early thirties.

From this point of view, Wei Zichao has taken pretty good care of himself.

Of course, if you have money and no worries, you will naturally age slower.

This is also why the poorer people are, the faster they age.

There’s no way, there are too many worries.

But it’s different for rich people. Most of their troubles can be solved with money. If they can’t be solved, it’s probably because they don’t have enough money.

“Hello, Teacher Wei!” As a junior, Su Rui took the initiative to step forward and greet Wei Zichao.

“You must be Su Rui!”

Wei Zichao held Su Rui’s hand and shook it vigorously: “Zhifeng told me yesterday that you are welcome to come.”

“Teacher Wei, I may have to bother you in the next few days.”

To be honest, Wei Zichao’s enthusiasm made Su Rui feel a little embarrassed. You know, he came here this time to catch Wei Zichao and his people in one fell swoop.

But when he thought about how much Wei Zichao had stolen from countless people to get his current wealth, Su Rui’s heart, which had just softened, instantly became hard again.

These ill-gotten gains should have been confiscated long ago.

Wei Zichao didn’t know what Su Rui was thinking. After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, he asked with interest: “I heard from Zhifeng that you have good skills. Shall we work together?”

Su Rui wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how he still had to rely on Wei Zichao to take him to the Thief God Selection Conference, he smiled and said, “It’s better to obey than to be respectful!”

“Haha~”

Wei Zichao laughed twice, and the two of them went to the yard and started testing each other.

The two chatted for a while, and Wei Zichao exclaimed, “Yesterday, Zhifeng told me about this, but I didn’t quite believe it. I didn’t expect that you, at such a young age, have already practiced your hand and eye skills to such a high level.”

“You are still a little bit inferior to Teacher Wei.” Su Rui said modestly.

A thief has two basic skills: one is the technique, the other is the eye technique.

Let’s talk about the technique first.

A handful of beans were scattered on the ground and picked up as quickly as possible, then scattered again and picked up again.

Put copper coins in the rice jar and pick them up with two fingers. Make sure you catch them every time and move quickly.

If you let your apprentice practice and he doesn’t practice well, he will be whipped.

Also, when you practice to the highest level, you can use chopsticks to pick up things in a boiling oil pan and reach your hand into the oil pan to pick up things without getting hurt.

Of course, this is just a legend, and it is hard to say whether anyone has achieved it so far.

However, if he put something special on his hands and was quick, Su Rui felt that it would not be difficult to do it with his magical skills.

Let’s talk about the eye technique.

Practice finding the hidden money spot at a glance.

In the past, the master would put money on different parts of his body, or put no money at all, and walk in front of the apprentice, asking the apprentice to find out which pocket of the master had money and which one was empty.

Another thing is that the master takes the apprentice to the street and lets the apprentice observe who carries money and where they put it. Then the master secretly gives guidance, which is an on-the-spot teaching.

More advanced than these, they reach the level of techniques, which are specific methods of stealing.

“That’s pretty good too. It won’t be a problem for us to get into the quarterfinals.”

Wei Zichao said: “And your technique is better than mine. The reason why I can beat you is also because of my eye technique. The older you are, the more experience you have. It is normal that you can’t beat me.”

“But with your talent, if you practice for another year or two, it’s only a matter of time before you surpass me.”

Su Rui did not respond. When he was fighting with Wei Zichao, he was always slightly suppressed by the other party and did not display his true strength.

He doesn’t even have 20% of his strength.

However, he did not refute what Wei Zichao said. Due to his age, Wei Zichao’s techniques are not as good as before.

But his eyesight is very strong.

Su Rui thought about it and realized that if he wanted to defeat Wei Zichao, he would have to at least exert 30% or even 40% of his strength.

“Especially the magic tricks and secret techniques you have mastered, you are even more proficient than when I was young.” Wei Zichao was filled with emotion: “There are always talented people in every generation!”

“I think in a few years, our thief sect will have a true thief god.”

“You are too kind!”

Su Rui was still modest: “In terms of the skill of picking up the golden pouch, I still need to learn a lot from you seniors.”

Wei Zichao smiled without comment.

When it comes to skills, it is true that good techniques are important, but experience is equally crucial.

Especially when it comes to technique.

Su Rui didn’t know what Wei Zichao was thinking, but he was confident that if they really came to it, he would be able to defeat Wei Zichao in any technique, even far surpass him.

Especially in the area of ​​secret techniques.

The so-called secret stealing technique, to put it in the simplest terms, is to steal things from clothing pockets or handbags. The usual methods are, probing, opening, picking and clamping, and the characteristic is one word: fast.

Putting something in the lower pocket of a coat or the outside pocket of trousers is called “giving it away for free” in the stealing business because it is the most unskilled way of stealing.

Putting money in your jacket pocket is a little more difficult.

At this time, the thief only needs to squeeze you to distract your attention and get the money.

Use a big coin or a blade to make an incision, which is called “opening” or “clean water work” in slang. It is like performing surgery, quickly cut open your pocket or bag.

This type is mainly suitable for crowded places.

In addition to the secret technique of stealing, there is also blocking.

That is, use something to block the person being robbed from his or her sight while committing the crime.

If you look closely, you will see that a real thief will always have a piece of clothing draped over his arm.

When he gets to a crowded place, such as a store, and sees you buying something, he will squeeze over, get close to you, cover himself with his clothes, and quietly reach out to commit the crime.

Some are even more outrageous, some hold their children to cover themselves, which is hard to guard against.

The third method is to switch packages.

This kind of thing happens quite often in stations or on trains. There were many in the past, but it is relatively rare now, but it is also more advanced.

When you put your bag on the ground or on a chair, the thief will put a bag of the same color and style nearby and replace your bag when you are not paying attention.

There is also a method of substitution called “Golden Bell Cover”.

Prepare a large suitcase in advance. This suitcase has no bottom and a hidden buckle on the top.

When the target is found, he will cover your box with his bottomless box while you are not prepared and take it away. By the time you find out, it is too late. Moreover, your box is inside his box, and only the people watching the surveillance will know. In addition to the above three methods, there is another one, which is to use a trick.

One is the beauty trap. The female pickpocket finds the right opportunity and presses her breasts against you. When you feel good and even think that your romantic luck is coming, your things will be stolen. Even if you find out, the beautiful woman will shout that you molested her, and then her accomplice will “dare to do the right thing”. At this time, the beautiful woman may have handed your things to someone else.

The second is intentional throwing of objects. In public places such as restaurants, two or three people form a group. One of them deliberately drops something in front of you, and the other takes your things while you help pick them up. The person who dropped the things thanks you profusely, but you don’t know that they are deliberately delaying time.

The third is the self-torture tactic: on a bus or other public places, two people suddenly quarrel, and while you are watching, the third person steals your things.

The fourth is loading and moving. A group of people drove a truck to a house that was empty and had been scouted out in advance, opened the door, and loaded the things into the truck openly.

Some thieves remain calm and composed after being discovered, so that you cannot even recognize that they are thieves.

For example, when you return home, you find someone at home. Before you can fully react, the thief does a handstand, making you panic. Some people hold something in their hands and ask you: Do you want to buy something? If you don’t realize that he is a thief, you will definitely say no, and the thief will take the opportunity to escape.

There are also stealing chickens, sheep, and cows…

There are countless skills like these among thieves, but few can master them all.

Wei Zichao chatted with Su Rui for a while, and suddenly frowned and looked at Ding Zhifeng: “Zhifeng, you are about the same age as Su Rui, but your skills are not as good as his. If you want to continue in this industry, or even make a fortune from it, you have to work harder.”

Su Rui frowned but said nothing.

Ding Zhifeng smiled awkwardly: “Brother Wei, I understand.”

“Didn’t you say you knew every time?” Wei Zichao said unhappily.

Ding Zhifeng said helplessly: “I have this much talent. I can only achieve what I have today because Brother Wei taught me a few tricks. Otherwise, I would have to work on the construction site and would not have the leisure time I have now.”

“You are so smooth-talking. If you are this smart, learn more from Su Rui.”

“I can’t learn the skills that Senior Su Rui has.” Ding Zhifeng curled his lips.

“Hmm?” Wei Zichao frowned.

When Ding Zhifeng told Wei Zichao what happened in the past, Wei Zichao’s expression changed: “You didn’t bring the police here, did you?”

“No no!!”

Ding Zhifeng quickly shook his head and said, “We went to the mall to buy some groceries and then went to a nearby community to get a car to come here. We also parked the car in a parking lot one kilometer away to ensure that it would not be discovered by the police.”

Wei Zichao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he still said seriously: “Be more careful next time.”

“know.”

“Don’t always know. If it weren’t for Su Rui today, you would have been caught long ago. It’s okay to be caught, but if you involve me in this, I won’t let you go.” Wei Zichao was intimidating without even getting angry, and scared Ding Zhifeng so much that his face turned slightly pale.

He had seen Wei Zichao’s methods before.

A few years ago, when he was learning some skills from Wei Zichao, he was whipped many times, and he still remembers it vividly.

After hearing this, Su Rui felt a slight chill in his heart.

Wei Zichao’s words were not only meant for Ding Zhifeng to hear, but also a warning to him.

A person who can obtain tens of millions of properties by stealing is not a good person. Although he may not kill or burn people when he is ruthless, other than that, he is not much better than those wanted criminals.

Thinking of this, Su Rui became more and more eager to destroy this huge organization.

For the next two days, Su Rui stayed at Wei Zichao’s place and rarely went out.

On the third day of their stay, Wei Zichao drove him and Ding Zhifeng to a farmhouse in the suburbs.

After the car was parked, Wei Zichao turned around and said, “Turn off your cell phones. Someone will check them later. Remember, don’t take out your cell phones after you go in. Otherwise, I won’t be able to help you if they kick you out.”

Su Rui didn’t dare to delay and quickly turned off his phone.

Ding Zhifeng, on the other hand, complained: “Why do we still have this rule? I was thinking of making a video and studying it carefully when I get back.”

“Just lock me up if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?” Wei Zichao shouted.

Ding Zhifeng didn’t dare to delay and had to turn off his cell phone.

After getting off the car, Su Rui walked to Wei Zichao and whispered, “Teacher Wei, isn’t this Thief God selection too easy? Is it so casual?”

“Are you trying to say that with so many people gathered here at once, you’re worried about being discovered?”

Wei Zichao smiled and patted Su Rui on the shoulder: “It’s okay to be cautious, but there’s no need to be so cautious. No one knows what we are holding here.”

“Even if it gets out, people will probably just think we’re having a company party or something like that.”

“Also, if you want to get in, you must be introduced by an elder. I brought you and Zhifeng, and the same goes for the others. They will be brought by others. If you don’t have someone to lead you, you can’t get in. If you force your way in, we will naturally be notified. If you are fully prepared, even if the police come, it will be useless.”

“Moreover, not everyone who comes here can get in touch with the core layer. In the business of thieves, it’s not just seniority that counts, but also strength.”

At this point, Wei Zichao smiled and said, “You can’t do this without some real skills.”

“Didn’t you say yesterday that someone was arrested? I’m worried that our Thief God Selection Convention is so big, the police must have received the news. Once the police sneak in, won’t we be caught in one fell swoop?” Su Rui looked worried.

“police?”

Wei Zichao laughed loudly: “Don’t worry about that. If no one teaches us this craft, even police officers can’t master it. And if you want to master it, it will take at least three to five years, and at most seven to eight years. Only police officers would be crazy to delve into this.”

“So you can rest assured that the police can’t get in.”

At this point, Wei Zichao suddenly stopped and said, “Just like you, Su Rui, you don’t think I haven’t doubted you, do you?”

Su Rui’s heart sank.

“To put it bluntly, do you think I would believe Zhifeng if he just brought someone back?”

“I’ll tell you the truth! I helped you that night just to test your ability. If your skills and eyesight weren’t better than mine, do you think I would have brought you to this place?”

Why would Wei Zichao dare to blatantly trust someone he had only known for two or three days?

It’s because of Su Rui’s amazing pickpocketing skills!
Such a person definitely has a master, and has been in this field for quite some time.

How could such a person have anything to do with the police?

Wei Zichao even dared to say that if Su Rui was a policeman, then none of the people who came here today to participate in the Thief God Selection Conference would be trustworthy.

Su Rui nodded without comment. There was really nothing wrong with what he said.

The police don’t have the time to study this stuff!
I’m so bored!

“Come on, I’ll take you to meet the real big shots of the Thieves’ Sect!” Wei Zichao waved his hand.

Big man?
Su Rui was excited.

He hasn’t caught any big shots yet!
As soon as Wei Zichao finished speaking, a hint appeared in front of Su Rui:

[Please host to participate in the Thief God Selection Conference and win the title of Thief God]

[Reward: One lucky draw]

Can I still draw a prize?

This is more worth seeing.
