Chapter 52 I’m not a police officer, my mother-in-law is
What does it mean when someone gives you a pillow just because you’re dozing off?
This is.

The last second, Su Rui was still worrying about how he could catch these hundreds of people in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the upgraded Crime Radar directly solved all the problems.

The first effect is not a big deal. Although the scanning range has been improved, the improvement is not too big. The difference between twenty meters and one hundred meters is actually not as big as imagined.

Unless the scanning range can reach one thousand meters.

However, too large a scope also has its own troubles.

If I really go to a city with a high crime rate in the future, won’t I be prompted to have a breakdown?
The point is, this crime radar is not like a cell phone.

When I don’t want to answer a call on my phone, I can just turn it off or mute it, and I can even specifically block certain calls.

But the crime radar cannot be turned on at all times.

Whether you want to catch them or not, it can give you hints about some petty thieves.

If you hear it too much, anyone would probably get furious.

It was the second effect that Su Rui did not expect.

Surprisingly terrifying.

Although there is a one-month cool-down period, it still cannot conceal its horror.

500-meter radius.

With him as the center, the entire compound is within range.

As for the limit of 500 people, there is no need to worry about it. He had noticed it when he came. Even if the people who were keeping watch outside were counted, there were only a few hundred people, or maybe even less than a hundred.

“I just don’t know how long this effect will last.”

This is what Su Rui is most worried about now. If it lasts for more than half an hour, there will be no problem, but if it can only last for a few minutes, being able to control twenty or thirty people is already the limit for him.

If others want to escape, this place is well connected and there are all kinds of mountains and forests on the outside. If they just hide in there, they may not be able to catch them even if they send hundreds of people to search the mountains.

However, Su Rui also knew that the Crime Radar was his only way to catch all these people in one fell swoop.

No matter how long it lasts, you have to try it.

What if the effect could last for half an hour or even more than an hour?

Just when Su Rui was thinking about catching everyone in one fell swoop, Zhou Kaishan’s voice suddenly reached his ears: “Su Rui, you are now the youngest thief god in our thief sect in hundreds of years. Come up and say a few words to everyone.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Go up and say a few words. It would be best if you could teach us a few more moves.”

“Old Wu, I can hear your calculations clearly from a distance.”

“What? You don’t want to learn the methods of the new generation of thieves? If you don’t want to learn, get out now.”

The man suddenly stopped talking.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Su Rui couldn’t persuade everyone, so he came to Zhou Kaishan. After exchanging a few words with Zhou Kaishan, he suddenly turned to everyone and said, “I think you brothers must be very curious about the way I stole your things.”

Below, everyone rolled their eyes.

Can you not be curious?
They have been in this business for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen someone take things away from them without any reaction.

Everyone was drooling over Su Rui’s miraculous methods.

Originally, everyone was embarrassed to mention it. After all, how could they easily teach others how they make a living?

But now that Su Rui took the initiative to mention it, everyone was naturally very happy.

“Since the Thief God has said so, we won’t be polite.”

“Senior, can we not be curious about what you said?”

“Thousands of years have passed since the existence of the Thief Sect, and there are only a few members of the Thief Sect who can steal from their own people. Don’t you think we are curious?”

“Could it be that Senior Su Rui is planning to teach us your skill of making something happen with nothing in your hands?”

Su Rui pressed his hands: “Originally, I wanted to hand over all the tools I use to make a living to everyone, but after thinking about it, I realized that everyone here does not lack this kind of skills. Except for the special situation today, we usually don’t steal from our own people. Stealing ordinary people is enough for you brothers with your current skills.”

“So, it doesn’t really matter whether you learn this or not.”

“Therefore, I decided to teach you brothers another skill. Maybe you will really need this skill in the future. Of course, I don’t hope you will be able to use it in the future.”

“But there’s a saying that goes, you can know it and not use it, but you can’t not know it.”

As soon as Su Rui said this, it immediately piqued the appetite of many people at the scene.

“What’s your skill?”

Su Rui looked at everyone with a smile: “Does anyone bring a rope?”

“rope?”

“There’s plenty of rope.”

Zhou Kaishan waved his hand and someone brought hundreds of meters of rope.

Su Rui took the rope and said, “Which brother is good at tying ropes? The one who knows how to tie knots and try to tie me up so that I can’t break free.”

Everyone looked at each other.

After a while, Fan Kong stood up and said, “I’ll do it.”

“It would be best if Brother Fan Kong is willing to help.”

Su Rui handed the rope to Fan Kong, then put his hands behind his back and said, “Tie me up.”

Fan Kong was not polite either. He cut a piece of rope and began to tie Su Rui’s hands behind his back.

Not to mention, although this guy was not convinced, his understanding of knots was beyond Su Rui’s expectations.

There are many ways to make rope knots, including but not limited to the half hitch, figure eight hitch, flat hitch, weighing knot, double hitch, triple hitch, fisherman’s hitch, grab hitch, etc.

Each knot has its specific uses and advantages. For example, the half hitch is the basic knot of all knots. The figure-eight knot is simple to remember and easy to untie. The square knot is used to tie the two ends of the same rope together. The man’s knot is known as the king of knots and is suitable for a variety of outdoor activities and daily life. The double hitch and triple hitch are usually used on objects with equal force at both ends. The fisherman’s knot is used to connect two ropes of different materials. The grappling hitch is used for operations that require special skills such as rock climbing and rescue.

Fan Kong used several kinds of knots. While binding Su Rui’s arms and wrists, he also tied knots on his feet. This was basically an improved version of the “tying up all the flowers”.

The binding is usually divided into two types: front binding and back binding, with the hands at the front and back of the body.

The front cross tie has fewer variations and is simple and can be completed quickly, but the person being tied up can easily find sharp objects such as knives, glass, etc. to untie the rope and escape when the other person is not paying attention.

Although tying up behind the back is a little more complicated than the former, it is difficult for the person being tied up to run and resist because his arms are tied backwards. The most effective way is to tie up the body and arms and then tie up the wrists.

Alternatively, a rope can be placed behind the neck, with both sides of the rope wrapped around the arms and then tied up to the wrists. This is a typical method of tying up one’s neck and its derivatives.

This method of binding controls the key parts of the person being bound, making it extremely difficult for the person to resist or escape and usually they can only allow themselves to be manipulated.

This is the method Fan Kong chose.

It seems that he still has a lot of resentment towards Su Rui for snatching his position as the God of Thieves.

Su Rui didn’t care. After Fan Kong was tied up, he said, “Today I plan to teach you not how to steal from others, but how to save yourself when you are tied up with ropes or other things.”

Hearing this, many people’s eyes lit up.

This is good!

Doing the job they do, it is inevitable that they will be caught in the future. If they are caught by their masters, the most they will do is tie them up with ropes and then notify the police to come.

But if they could escape before the police arrived and not be caught, the worst that could happen was that they could just move to another city and start over. Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became very excited.

Ding Zhifeng even stepped forward and shouted, “Senior, where are the handcuffs? Can you remove them?”

Su Rui struggled to break free from the ropes and said, “If you master this skill to a certain extent, you can remove the handcuffs. If I were to do it, I could do it. It’s already amazing that you can remove the ropes when you’re new to it.”

This time, everyone was shocked.

Can you open the handcuffs?

While everyone was still surprised, Su Rui had already broken free from the ropes that Fan Kong had tied up.

“Good boy, you’re untied already?”

It took a long time for everyone to recover from the shock.

too fast.

It only took a minute or two and it was solved?
“You all have seen that as long as you learn about ropes and other restraints for a period of time, I believe that with your intelligence and proficiency, you can basically master them.”

“As for the handcuffs, that will take some time to practice.”

After saying that, Su Rui smiled and looked at everyone: “Are there any brothers who want to try it?”

There was silence for a while, and then someone responded immediately.

Su Rui counted them carefully and found that basically, except Zhou Kaishan and others, everyone else was willing to try it.

Seeing this scene, Su Rui couldn’t help but clench his fists.

Although he failed to convince everyone, once the vast majority of them were controlled, it would still be possible for him, the only one left, to make it happen.

“Since everyone wants to try, then tie each other up the same way Fan Kong tied me up, and then try to break free. I’ll point out anything that’s wrong, and if you don’t understand, just ask directly.”

“Since I have become the God of Thieves, I will certainly not let you brothers down.”

“Not only this method of escaping from the rope, even if it’s the skill of stealing, as long as someone wants to learn it, I will definitely not hide it.”

After Su Rui threw down this handful of sweet dates, no one would still doubt anything.

Without waiting for Su Rui to make an announcement, everyone had basically tied each other up, and in order to prevent the other party from breaking free, they tied them up without letting any water go at all.

In less than a few minutes, the entire hall was filled with people tied up with ropes.

Everyone was trying to break free from the ropes at this moment, but after trying for a while and failing, they realized that if no one taught them, they would never be able to master this thing just by thinking on their own.

So everyone asked Su Rui for some guidance.

“Right away.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll instruct you one by one.”

Su Rui agreed readily, prepared the ropes to tie up the others, and directly activated the second effect of the evil radar, making everyone within a radius of 500 meters unable to move.

Zhou Kaishan and others originally planned to stand up to see how Su Rui would instruct everyone, but they didn’t expect that before he could stand up, he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, motionless.

The people tied up with ropes wanted to struggle a few more times, but found that they had no strength at all.

Now many people panicked.

“what happened?”

“Why can’t I move?”

“Me too, it felt like all the strength in my body was drained away in an instant.”

“Did you eat something poisonous?”

Many people came early and basically had breakfast here. Now that everyone has fallen down, people would naturally think it was food poisoning. Anyway, no one has suspected Su Rui yet.

However, someone noticed that Su Rui did not fall down: “Senior Su Rui, how come you are not hurt at all?”

“What’s the matter?”

No one understood. They all had problems, so why was Su Rui the only one who was fine?
Food poisoning?

Wei Zichao frowned. He, Ding Zhifeng and Su Rui came here together. They had the same meal in the morning and had not eaten or drunk any food or tea here since they came. It didn’t make sense that he and Ding Zhifeng both fell down while Su Rui was fine.

Physical reasons?

Wei Zichao thought of the difference in physique, but this situation was almost negligible.

The key point is that fifty or sixty people at the scene fell down, but Su Rui was the only one who did not fall down. This cannot be explained in any way.

“Brother Su, what’s going on? How come you’re not hurt at all?” Wei Zichao actually guessed something bad, but he still couldn’t believe that something bad would happen to the people he brought with him.

The most important thing is that Su Rui is so skilled, he is 100% a thief, there is no reason for him to harm them!
The thieves are still very united.

Su Rui didn’t have time to explain so much to Wei Zichao. Although this guy was quite enthusiastic about him, he couldn’t change his character which was almost turning black.

Even though Wei Zichao has not done anything harmful to others over the years, he is definitely not a good person.

As for the others, there is no need to mention them.

At the scene, the only ones with less serious sins were probably Ding Zhifeng and other spectators who were not qualified to participate in the Thief God Selection Conference.

Su Rui’s indifference was seen by everyone. Wei Zichao’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked, “Su Rui, what do you want to do?”

Su Rui glanced at Wei Zichao calmly and said, “I don’t have any plans. I just want to invite everyone here to have some tea. Don’t worry, there are private rooms. Of course, some people may just have to make do together.”

Having said this, Wei Zichao and others still don’t know what the situation is.

Isn’t a single room an interrogation room?

Bosses like them deserve individual interrogation.

As for people like Ding Zhifeng, they are just small fry who came here as spectators, so there is no problem in interrogating them together.

Wei Zichao’s expression suddenly changed: “Are you a policeman?”

His words made everyone who hadn’t reacted yet suddenly look pale.

“Is he a policeman?”

“How could he be a policeman? He has such good skills, how could he be a policeman?”

“He is not a policeman. Why did we all fall down but he was the only one who didn’t fall down?” Wei Zichao curled his lips.

“How can this be?”

Someone questioned: “Su Rui, you are a member of our Thieves Sect. According to the rules of our Thieves Sect, you don’t betray your own people, and you don’t attack your own people. You…”

Su Rui spread his hands and said, “I am not a thief. As for my skills, I just practice them at home when I have nothing to do.”

“Of course, don’t worry, I’m not a policeman.”

Everyone was originally very angry, but after hearing this, they felt relieved.

If they’re not the police, then it’s not a big problem.

But just when someone wanted to ask Su Rui why he did this, he heard Su Rui said innocently: “I’m not a policeman, but my mother-in-law is!”

After saying that, Su Rui took out his cell phone and called Xia Jie in front of everyone.
