Han Fei let the officers split up, chasing along the two directions of this road. Xu Mo's decision to run was actually right.
Xu Mo wanted to run, he would only go left or right along these two directions.
Plus they rushed over very quickly, almost immediately running over after hearing the gunshot.
Logically Xu Mo really couldn't run far.
But he still underestimated Xu Mo's skills.
He thought Xu Mo took care of Xiao Wang by relying on his legs to escape.
But that was not the case.
Xu Mo escaped by car!
His car unlocking skills were already consummate.
The speed of stealing a car was incredibly fast.
When Han Fei heard the gunshot and just rushed over here, Xu Mo had already left by car.
He didn't even see the taillights of the car.
Naturally he wouldn't suspect that Xu Mo stole a car either.
However after Han Fei took people to chase to the left for about 100 meters.
He suddenly stopped.
He suddenly smelled the lingering smell of car exhaust in the air.
The smell of car exhaust meant a car had just driven by, and it just left not long ago.
And there was no such smell in the stretch of road behind them.
He was chasing here when he first smelled the car exhaust.
It meant the car had just stopped in this position.
And also, the car drove out towards the direction ahead of him.
Xu Mo escaped by car?
Where did he get the car!?
Was it also a stolen car??
Most critically, how much time has passed since the gunshot?
Does Xu Mo not need time to steal a car???
Han Fei's mind went blank.
He knew Xu Mo would steal cars, but he didn't know Xu Mo stole cars so damn fast!
It had only been a few minutes since the gunshot.
Yet when they ran over, they didn't even see the freaking taillights, they could only smell the exhaust.
"Stop, you guys were standing guard outside the wall right, were there any cars driving by this road after the gunshot?", Han Fei suddenly looked towards the few officers beside him.
"There was...a black car, I saw it when running over from that side.", one officer replied.
Hearing this, Han Fei continued asking:
"Did you see the person inside the car and its license plate clearly?"
The officer scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Well...I didn't notice Han leader, I was anxious to run over to see how Xiao Wang was doing. I only know that was a black car."
Upon hearing this, Han Fei felt somewhat frustrated.
But he didn't blame this officer either.
Because this wasn't this officer's fault.
Han Fei didn't even think Xu Mo could steal cars so quickly, let alone these officers.
Without hesitation, he immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie.
"No need to keep guarding the gate, come over immediately with cars!"
After speaking, he looked towards the police officers beside him again.
"Get colleagues working night shifts to help check the surveillance cameras on this road."
It was deep night now, Wu Ya must be sleeping, so he could only rely on the officers.
Without Wu Ya this genius hacker, Han Fei now only hoped Xu Mo didn't casually hack the road surveillance...
Not long after, the officers drove cars over.
Han Fei also didn't waste words, immediately beckoning everyone onto the cars.
"This direction, chase."
"Also urge them to check the surveillance faster!"
...
At the same time.
Inside a black private car.
Xu Mo glanced back at Zhou Qiaoqiao.
"Turn on mobile hotspot on the computer, hack all the roadside surveillance cameras."
Zhou Qiaoqiao immediately acted accordingly.
While doing it, Zhou Qiaoqiao was still somewhat puzzled.
While working, she asked Xu Mo: "Didn't you say the police might have found an outside helper, that method doesn't work anymore?"
"That was during the day.", Xu Mo said: "The outside helper should also be sleeping now. Don't worry about hacking it. They can't recover surveillance now. Do it faster, don't let them find out about this car. That would be bad."
"Okay!", Zhou Qiaoqiao nodded.
And sped up her work.
Long ago when the Pursuit Team found Yunqi Rose Garden.
Xu Mo guessed that Han Fei must have found an outside helper.
Otherwise there's no way they could have found their hiding place.
Xu Mo was even more certain of this later when checking the computer.
Because he discovered someone had tried hacking into his alert code he wrote before.
It's just that person was quite unlucky. Before hacking in, he already fell for Xu Mo's improved Panda Burning Incense.
The reason Xu Mo didn't let Zhou Qiaoqiao hack surveillance during the day, was precisely because there was this outside helper.
Hacking surveillance cameras could slow police tech personnel down, true.
But it was far from enough to slow down the outside helper the Pursuit Team found.
After all, completely deleting networked surveillance cameras was no simple matter.
But now was different.
The outside helper was alone, not like the police officers that had shifts.
Could he still not sleep now at 5am?
...
Inside the Pursuit Team's car with 4 people, Han Fei's walkie-talkie suddenly sounded.
"Han...Han leader, the colleagues working night shifts at the station said...said they can't check the surveillance on this stretch of road."
Hearing this, Han Fei heavily wiped his face.
The worst situation still happened.
He knew Xu Mo choosing to escape at this time was premeditated!
Late at night fewer people, convenient for his actions. And the officers probably also lacked energy at this hour.
Additionally, Xu Mo could unscrupulously hack surveillance!
Police tech personnel working night shifts couldn't recover hacked surveillance in a short time.
"Alright, I know.", Han Fei laughed bitterly and spoke into the walkie-talkie to reply.
Then he took out his phone, still wanting to try his luck and gave Wu Ya a call.
"Du...du...du..."
After tens of seconds, the call was automatically disconnected from no one picking up.
Wu Ya didn't pick up.
Han Fei felt even more desperate.
They couldn't check surveillance, so there was no way to obtain more detailed information.
The only clue they had now was——Xu Mo escaped in a black car.
Other than that they knew nothing more.
How could that clue be useful?
Were black cars rare?
Moreover in a tier 1 city like Hangzhou, even late at night, there were still many cars on the highways. Among those, at least half were black cars!
How were they supposed to find Xu Mo relying only on this one clue?
It was even harder than finding a needle in the ocean.
The needle won't move itself, but Xu Mo would!
After driving for a stretch past Wanhui City Community.
The Pursuit Team's car arrived at a crossroad intersection.
The current situation was that Xu Mo might have driven straight through, might have turned left, or might have turned right.
The specifics were something no one could determine.
Chen Ke driving the car turned and glanced at Han Fei, about to say something then hesitating.
...
An hour later.
6:11am.
Xu Mo drove the car to the destination——an average grade small community.
Worth mentioning was.
This community was different from normal ones. The residents inside were all officials with some status, ordinary people couldn't even enter.
But this was nothing difficult for Xu Mo either.
He had a police badge!
After disguising himself in the car, Xu Mo directly walked towards the community.
"What business?", the guard immediately stopped him upon nearing.
Xu Mo took out the police badge and showed it to the guard.
He wasn't worried the guard could notice anything off.
Because this police badge was real, completely authentic!
"I'm here to find Director Wang."
The guard carefully checked the badge, confirming there were no issues before letting him pass: "Go on in."
