Previously, the police had only checked the surveillance footage after the program started.
That's why they hadn't found these two people.
They even thought at one point that these two 'fugitives' were as tricky as Xu Mo, with a strong awareness of counter-surveillance, deliberately avoiding cameras.
That's why they couldn't find any traces of the two in the footage.
Little did they know, they had overestimated these 'fugitives'.
The pair hadn't actually avoided the cameras at all; they simply hadn't left their home since the program began, staying holed up inside!
It was understandable that the surveillance cameras hadn't captured them.
They never went out, so checking the footage was pointless.
Fortunately, a meticulous officer decided to check the footage from before the program started, which was yesterday.
This finally yielded a clue.
These two people, who hadn't been seen on camera since the program began, might have been hiding at home the whole time!
They had received notification last night and immediately went out to purchase a large amount of supplies before returning home.
After that, the cameras never caught sight of them again.
After ending the call with Old He,
Han Fei also received a message from him.
The content of the message was an address.
This address wasn't too far from their current location, about three kilometers away.
After looking at the address, Han Fei said to the officers,
"Pack up, everyone go get your vehicles. We're heading to Lijing Garden Residential Complex. Two fugitives might be there."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"You have successfully captured a fugitive. Reward obtained: Knowledge of Psychology."
As soon as the system prompt finished,
A flood of knowledge poured into Xu Mo's mind.
It was all related to psychology, including criminal psychology and other branches of the field.
He didn't need to make an effort to remember this information.
It was simply stored in his mind, ready to surface automatically when needed.
Almost as soon as he received this reward,
The world looked different to Xu Mo.
He could now determine whether someone was telling the truth or lying by observing their facial muscles, body language, even their eyes and speech patterns.
He could even discern people's true inner thoughts.
On the street, a young couple was having an argument.
"Baby, don't be angry. There's really nothing between her and me. She's just my adopted little sister. I've always seen her as a sister, I swear! There's absolutely nothing between us, it's not what you think. May lightning strike me if I'm lying to you!"
His eyes were shifty, repeatedly emphasizing the same point.
This man must be lying.
Adopted sister?
More like he wants to sleep with her!
Of course, even though Xu Mo could see through this man's lies, he chose not to interfere and expose him.
Instead, he unconsciously walked around the lying man.
He didn't want to risk getting hit by lightning if it actually struck the liar.
...
Time was of the essence.
To catch the fugitives before the investigation team, every second counted.
So, right after designing the capture of those two 'fugitives',
Xu Mo, a step ahead of the investigation team, rushed towards the nearest location where other 'fugitives' might be hiding.
He was almost there now.
Like the police,
Xu Mo also found it strange that this group of 'fugitives' hadn't shown up on any surveillance footage so far, which is why he curiously checked the previous day's footage.
The result was...
It wasn't that their methods of avoiding surveillance were particularly clever.
On the contrary, their tactics were quite stupid.
To avoid being caught on camera, the two had bought water, food, and other supplies before the program officially started, and simply hid in their home!
Weren't they just asking to be caught?
Once the police couldn't find any trace of these two on surveillance, they would surely investigate other angles.
No matter where they started looking, they would inevitably check the place where they lived.
He couldn't understand what these two were thinking.
Even hiding under a bridge would have been better than hiding at home!
...
Lijing Garden Residential Complex.
Building 2011.
This was the address Xu Mo had found.
He chose not to knock.
Instead, he used a wire he had prepared in advance to open the door.
Before pushing the door open, Xu Mo imagined that the two 'fugitives' hiding inside might look at him with terror on their faces when they heard the door opening.
They might even make some extreme moves.
But what Xu Mo never expected was...
There was no one in the apartment.
"Huh? Did I get the wrong place?" Xu Mo was a bit confused.
He instinctively stepped back out to check the door number.
It wasn't wrong!
So what was going on?
Could it be that he had misjudged, and these two weren't hiding at home?
That didn't make sense either.
If they weren't planning to hide at home, why did they buy a bunch of necessities and bring them back yesterday?
And according to the surveillance footage,
The two hadn't left the apartment since last night.
So they must still be inside!
Xu Mo guessed that they might have heard him opening the door earlier and hidden themselves.
As for where they could be hiding, it would probably be in the wardrobe, under the bed, and so on. He just needed to check each place.
With this in mind, Xu Mo took a tour of the apartment.
He checked every possible hiding place in the house.
No one under the bed.
No one in the wardrobe.
No one in the bathroom.
...
He even checked the refrigerator, but still found no one.
Xu Mo became puzzled.
He had looked everywhere possible but found no one.
Could he have really guessed wrong?
As he was pondering this, he noticed the curtains on the balcony in the living room.
This was also a potential hiding place.
He had checked everywhere else.
If there was someone hiding in the house, they must be behind the curtains or crouching in a corner of the balcony.
The next second, Xu Mo walked towards the balcony.
He grabbed the curtain and yanked it hard!
Still no one to be seen.
Not giving up, Xu Mo slid open the glass door and stepped onto the balcony.
He wanted to see if the two were crouching in a corner of the balcony.
After surveying the balcony,
Xu Mo was dumbfounded.
He didn't find anyone hiding on the balcony he was on.
But through the window, Xu Mo clearly saw a man crouching on the air conditioning unit outside the neighboring balcony—a middle-aged man without any clothes on!
Was this... some kind of performance art?
The middle-aged man was clinging tightly to the frame of the air conditioning unit, his body shaking uncontrollably.
His forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, though it wasn't clear if this was from fear or from the sun.
Realizing that Xu Mo was staring at him,
The man clinging to the air conditioning unit freed one hand and put it to his lips, making a 'shh' gesture towards Xu Mo.
At this moment, the sound of an argument from next door also reached Xu Mo's ears through the balcony.
"Where the hell did you hide that man? Make him come out! I'll chop him to pieces!"
"What man? Are you crazy? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
"..."
"Holy crap!" Hearing the argument next door, Xu Mo instantly understood. The man crouching on the air conditioning unit was indeed performing an act—the act of adultery!
He had come for an affair and got caught by the husband, with nowhere to hide he had resorted to crouching on the air conditioning unit outside the balcony.
Realizing this, Xu Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the middle-aged man crouching on the air conditioning unit.
"Bro, that's impressive!"
...
At the same time,
The investigation team, a step behind Xu Mo, had now driven to the entrance of the residential complex.
They were about to get out of their cars and enter the complex...
