When Chen Xiao acquired the ability of "Theft."
He never really understood the purpose of this ability.
Even when the clue of the artwork case emerged, he once thought the skill rewarded by the calendar was meant for him to steal evidence.
But later, when he saw Chen Xianzu use the Pickpocketing Skill, he belatedly understood the true meaning of theft.
This ability wasn't meant for Chen Xiao to commit theft.
Although he's not a police officer now, many of his actions can't be done that way.
The true meaning of the calendar's "Theft" ability reward was for him to master this skill and hold the upper hand when encountering others who understand it too!
Chen Xiao had thought that if he hadn't gained the theft ability, perhaps with his previous abilities, he could have still unveiled Chen Xianzu's true intentions.
But likely not as quickly as now!
And this case required urgency from the moment Chen Xiao arrived in Xiangdu.
