The officer didn't ask any further questions and proceeded as Han Fei instructed.
During the inquiry, Han Fei shared his recent discovery.
"Xu Mo is currently in Jiangcheng City. The lead related to him is the car I just asked you to check. He's the one driving it."
"Xu Mo is in Jiangcheng City?" Shen Manyi asked, puzzled.
Wasn't Xu Mo supposed to be in Sakura Country right now?
How did he end up in Jiangcheng City?
When Han Fei was on the phone earlier, she had heard him mention Xu Mo's name, but she hadn't imagined that Xu Mo would have come to Jiangcheng City.
"Yes, he's in Jiangcheng City. I'm pretty sure about it," Han Fei nodded. "This is actually better. We won't have to go to Sakura Country to catch him. It's always more comfortable to fight on home turf."
Just then, the officer nearby turned to Han Fei, pointing at the screen displaying the surveillance footage.
The license plate number Han Fei had asked him to check had been found.
"Captain Han, look. This car is now parked near the World City Pedestrian Street. That's the place where we recently found those two 'fugitives' hiding."
Hearing this, Han Fei instinctively furrowed his brow.
His intuition told him this couldn't be a coincidence.
Two 'fugitives' were hiding in the World City Pedestrian Street, and Xu Mo had driven there.
There must be some connection!
What was Xu Mo up to?
Suddenly, Chen Ke, who was standing nearby, looked at Han Fei and said,
"Captain Han, do you think it's possible that Xu Mo is looking for help? Maybe that's why he's approaching these people."
"It's possible..." Han Fei nodded slightly. "We can't let Xu Mo succeed. We need to catch all the new 'fugitives' who've joined the show before Xu Mo gets to them!"
With that, Han Fei stood up.
He was prepared to personally lead a team to stop Xu Mo.
After all, Xu Mo's side currently had at most five people.
Just five people were enough to cause him endless trouble.
What if Xu Mo found new helpers? That would be disastrous.
Wouldn't that kid end up poking a hole in the sky?
"If it were just about catching two ordinary people, Li Chen could handle it with the auxiliary police. But with Xu Mo there, I doubt Li Chen can manage alone. We can't just sit here. Let's take some people to help Li Chen. Who knows, we might even have a chance to catch Xu Mo while we're at it," Han Fei said.
Chen Ke didn't say anything, just nodded and got up, ready to go help Li Chen.
Just as Han Fei and his team were about to set off for the World City Pedestrian Street with a few officers,
The officers who had gone to the Tianxi Hotel to catch the johns returned.
The officers were escorting people who were 'fugitives' from the show.
They brought the two men before Han Fei.
With a bewildered expression, one of the officers spoke.
"Captain Han, you won't believe what happened... When we got there, these two were already knocked out and tied up!"
Hearing this, Han Fei looked confused.
Seeing his reaction, the officer turned to the two men being held: "You two were there. Tell Captain Han what happened."
The two men started speaking, one after the other.
"Captain Han, it was Xu Mo. Xu Mo did it all!"
"We were planning to join Xu Mo, but who knew... he just came at us and gave us black eyes!"
After they finished speaking, Han Fei was stunned.
From what they said, Han Fei learned that their initial plan was to join Xu Mo.
And they had indeed found Xu Mo's location.
But... it seemed Xu Mo had no intention of teaming up with them.
On the contrary, he had knocked them out and tied them up with bed sheets.
After tying them up, he even put on an act, pretending to be a lonely young man with pent-up energy, and called Han Fei saying he wanted to find a girl, leading the police to come and arrest them.
Han Fei turned to look at the screen displaying the surveillance footage.
The footage showed the private car with the license plate Jiang A.EF097.
Just moments ago, Han Fei had thought Xu Mo was trying to gather manpower, which was why he went to the World City Pedestrian Street to find other show participants like him to be his helpers.
Then they would all commit crimes together and escape together.
But now, considering the experience of these two men being held by the officers,
Han Fei realized he was wrong.
Xu Mo's trip to the World City Pedestrian Street to find the two show participants hiding there wasn't to recruit them as his helpers.
He might have gone there to help the police catch them!
It wasn't just Han Fei.
Shen Manyi had come to the same conclusion.
She looked at the two men being held by the officers, then at Han Fei.
"Captain Han, I don't think Xu Mo was looking for helpers. Look, Xu Mo knocked these two out, tied them up, and even put on an act to report to the police and lead them there to make the arrest. This... this is helping us, the police, to catch people."
Both Han Fei and Shen Manyi had come to this realization.
They both believed that Xu Mo might be helping the police catch people.
But Han Fei was puzzled.
Why would Xu Mo help the police catch people?
After all, Xu Mo's status was that of a fugitive!
Since when did fugitives catch other fugitives? And even help the police catch people!
Was he crazy?
What was he thinking?
A fugitive, trying to do the police's job?
If Xu Mo caught everyone, what would the police do!?
In the live streaming room:
"Hahahahaha, he's confused, Han Fei is confused."
"I'd be confused too! Since when do fugitives help the police catch people? Isn't that crazy?"
"Han Fei must be seeing this kind of situation for the first time. Look at his expression, hahahahaha."
"It's normal that he can't figure it out right away. This is indeed quite bizarre. But Han Fei should soon realize that Xu Mo is helping catch people to get the 20 million prize money sooner."
"..."
Meanwhile,
At the World City Pedestrian Street.
Someone knocked on the window of a police car.
Li Chen, sitting inside, instinctively looked out.
He only saw a figure.
Before he could make out the face, the person who knocked had walked away.
Opening the car door to look,
He found two urea bags next to the car door!
The urea bags weren't the key issue.
The key was...
These two urea bags were wriggling. There must be people inside!
"Holy crap... who's so brazen!" Li Chen was dumbfounded.
In broad daylight, someone had caught two people and stuffed them into urea bags.
And even dumped them next to a police car!?
