"He's not the thief. Earlier, I bumped into him while chasing the thief. He's lost." After saying that, Nian Xi said to her colleagues in a low voice, "He's mute. He doesn't know where his home is, and he doesn't have a cellphone."
Her colleagues now understood what had happened. A male police officer whispered to her, "Xi, he's not faking it, is he? Everyone uses cell phones these days. I guess he wants to go after you, and that's a trick he plays."
Nian Xi was puzzled for a second and then felt that was highly possible. She turned back, pulled a long face, and said to the man, "Are you lying to me?"
The man was confused. Nian Xi lost her patience. She directly reached a hand into one of his trouser pockets. The man automatically turned his body to dodge. Nian Xi moved too fast, so as a result, she accidentally grabbed the area between the man's legs and then felt something soft in her palm.
