Xiao barged his way through several queues, trying to remember the plainclothes training. Problem is, Chinese plainclothes cops operate so as to be noticed.

Only foreigners and Gansu peasants can't spot a plainclothes cop, runs the police academy joke: foreigners because they have never seen China, Gansu peasants because they have never seen clothes.
