"The butterfly effect?" Xu Mo muttered to himself as he lay on the bed scrolling through his phone.
Damn it... after all this fuss, this incident is actually related to him!
The Sakura Country people who got beaten up on the news, Xu Mo knows them.
It was because he had cursed at those Sakura Country people in the Xiba language.
This led those Sakura Country people to harbor resentment towards Xiba Country nationals.
After getting drunk, they impulsively beat up two Xiba Country nationals.
Those two Xiba Country nationals then got increasingly angry, and in their drunken state, they set fire to the Yasukuni shrine.
This is probably going to become the biggest misunderstanding of the year!
However, the viewers in the livestream didn't think this was a misunderstanding.
Although they now knew this wasn't Xu Mo's doing,
In their eyes, this was a carefully calculated "accident"!
At that moment, they admired Xu Mo even more!
"Utilizing the butterfly effect to achieve your goals? Xu Mo is awesome!"
"I've seen a movie about this, where the protagonist made meticulous calculations and deductions to set up a situation. He just dropped a coin on the street, and ended up killing his enemy..."
"666666 This is so shocking, the scale of Xu Mo's moves is just too grand!"
"This technique of diverting calamity is so slick... not only did he stir up hatred between Xiba Country and Sakura Country, but he also managed to do what he wanted to do."
"No bloodshed, keeping it under wraps, this is the true meaning of the perfect crime!"
"..."
It's a good thing Xu Mo couldn't see the comments.
If he saw them, he would probably be shocked by the viewers' thought processes.
He really didn't have much to do with this incident!
Who could have predicted that those Sakura Country and Xiba Country people would have such hot tempers!?
Saying they would beat someone up, and they actually did. Saying they would set a fire, and they actually did. Who could have foreseen that?
...
Xiba Country and Sakura Country have never been on good terms.
Their differences were especially pronounced over the Yasukuni shrine issue.
A large portion of Xiba Country nationals hoped for the Yasukuni shrine to be burned down.
Moreover, some Xiba Country nationals had even attempted to do so themselves.
It's just that for various reasons, they ultimately failed.
After Sakura Country exposed the identities of the two arsonists, the two arsonists naturally transformed into national heroes in the eyes of most Xiba Country nationals.
That historic scene replayed itself once more.
Regarding this incident, Xiba Country's choice was to take sides, as always.
After all, how could national heroes be handed over to be dealt with by another country?
This was almost identical to how they previously handled that legendary arsonist who had burned down the Yasukuni shrine.
When Sakura Country demanded that Xiba Country hand over the two arsonists to be tried in Sakura Country, Xiba Country flatly refused.
The reason given was that it violated the extradition treaty.
Despite Sakura Country's repeated negotiations, it was to no avail.
Xiba Country's stance was to take sides, as always.
In short, they would absolutely not hand the individuals over for Sakura Country to deal with.
Of course, no matter how much Xiba Country took sides,
The fact that these two people committed arson could not be denied - there was nothing they could do about that.
In the end, under Sakura Country's strong intervention,
Xiba Country symbolically sentenced the two arsonists to five months in prison, but in the most comfortable prison facility.
...
That day,
The four-person investigation team also rushed to Haneda Airport by plane.
They had also seen the news about the trial verdict for the two arsonists.
"Five months... heh, this light sentence is just a slap on the wrist. Little Xiba Country is really quite unruly," Li Chen muttered as he looked at his phone.
"What's the point of focusing on that?" Han Fei gave Li Chen an exasperated look. "We need to find a way to bring Xu Mo back to the country as soon as possible."
The next second, Li Chen let out a wry smile.
"Easy to say, but... how do we catch him, Captain Han? We're not familiar with the place, and we have to rely on translation apps to communicate. We don't even know where to start."
Hearing this, Han Fei let out a sigh.
Li Chen was right.
It sounded easy, but to actually do it would be extremely difficult.
Back home, no matter where Xu Mo fled, they could still seek assistance from the local police forces.
But this was a foreign country - all the advantages they had back home were basically nonexistent here.
Suddenly, Han Fei thought of a method.
"Bank card records! We can check their bank card records! Use the records to determine which hotel they're staying at, then go and catch them!"
With this thought, Han Fei wasted no time in calling Old Wang back in the country.
In Hangzhou City,
Old Wang, Director Wang, was dumbfounded when he received Han Fei's call.
What was this kid calling him for again!?
Was he trying to get him into trouble again?
But after a few seconds of hesitation, he still pressed the answer button: "What is it this time, spit it out!"
"Old Wang, you really need to work on that temper of yours. Getting angry all the time will shorten your life."
Director Wang: "???"
Insulted with a curse, Han Fei was inwardly swearing at him, but his outward response was still a smiling one.
"Just kidding, just kidding. You'll definitely live to be a hundred. Anyway... help me check their bank card records, will you?"
"You've seen the recent news, right? Just setting fire to the Yasukuni shrine caused such a huge mess. You know what kind of person Xu Mo is - he's not someone who does things halfway."
"If Xu Mo stirs up trouble, it'll only be bigger than this incident. I'm afraid there might be problems if we don't bring him back before he causes any mischief, so just think of it as doing me a favor!"
"Bank card records, huh?" Director Wang agreed without hesitation. "Alright, just wait for me. I'll have someone look into it right away. If there's nothing else, hang up. I'll call you back once I have the records."
"Sure, waiting for your call."
After hanging up, Director Wang summoned an officer and instructed him to look up the bank card records of Xu Mo and the others.
Since it involved cross-border inquiries, it took some time.
But Director Wang still called Han Fei back as soon as the records were obtained.
"Old Han, got the records. I've sent you the results on WeChat."
"Got it, let me take a look."
"Yeah, I've got something else to attend to, so I'll hang up for now." With that, Director Wang ended the call.
After the call was disconnected, Han Fei opened WeChat to check the information sent by Director Wang.
"Anman Hotel... they're probably staying at this hotel. No time to waste, let's head out."
