A small crowd was gathering, some cheering. "Hand him to the police!" someone shouted.
Liwu, who always kept her badge on hand revealed it with a proud smile, "I am the police."
"It's a bureau badge!" A woman exclaimed.
Immediately, people started to disperse as if something really bad was about to happen. But a few remained behind, certain that something worth watching would happen soon. They were right, because just as Liwu started making a call for the thief to be picked up, a group of normal police officers blocked her path.
"Stop," one said. "The SOB does not have the right of operation within One city. Your authority is external, hence unrecognized."
Liwu frowned, tightening her hold on the thief. "So what are you saying, that thieves get free passes in this city?"
The officer shook his head. "No. But jurisdiction of all crime falls under ordinary police."
