"What's going on?" Xu Mo thought to himself, puzzled by the strange behavior of the security guard in front of him.
Ignoring the guard, he turned around with a confused expression and walked back towards the reception desk.
"Hello, I'll need to use Room 888 again. Please clean it up, and for the food, just prepare the same as the previous three tables."
"Certainly, sir," the receptionist responded with a smile.
Her thoughts differed from those of the security guard at the entrance.
While she also found Xu Mo impressive for juggling so many relationships simultaneously, she primarily thought of him as utterly despicable.
A scumbag of the highest order!
One man, dating four girlfriends at once?
And all of them at the 'meet the parents' stage?
But the most outrageous part was...
This guy had the audacity to meet different girlfriends' parents in the same hotel, in the same private room, back-to-back!?
A true master of time management...
With the experience of the previous three encounters, Xu Mo's application of psychology had become even more refined.
Especially when chatting with the parents.
As a result, it only took him half an hour to help fool Li Jiaxin's parents.
In the end, he left the hotel under the envious gaze of the security guard at the entrance.
...
Meanwhile, at the police station.
"Xu Mo got that tough nut to confess with just two sentences?" Captain Wang looked at Han Fei, completely baffled.
"Yes, two sentences and one slap," Han Fei nodded.
He then added, "I saw it with my own eyes. I was standing outside the one-way glass next to the interrogation room, watching."
Although it sounded far-fetched, that was exactly what happened!
Xu Mo's interrogation indeed only consisted of two sentences.
The first: "Did you kill the person? Tell the truth!"
The second: "I'm talking to you, why the hell are you sleeping?"
Then, the suspect confessed to his crime without reservation.
He disclosed everything clearly, from the motive for the murder to the process.
Captain Wang scratched his head, his expression full of confusion.
"This is bizarre... This guy was so tight-lipped, we couldn't get anything out of him all night with so many people questioning him, but Xu Mo got him to confess with just two sentences?"
Han Fei gently patted Captain Wang's shoulder.
"Don't dwell on the details. The important thing is that the suspect confessed, which is good news. Now that he's admitted his guilt, we can convict him."
"You're right," Captain Wang nodded. "We're lucky you brought your team to help, Han. Otherwise, we might not have been able to solve the case within a week."
As he finished speaking, Captain Wang looked at Han Fei with a smile, his face even showing a hint of envy.
"This Xu Mo is something else. Captain Han, you've really struck gold with him."
To be fair, although Xu Mo hadn't demonstrated exceptional investigative skills this time, he had discovered the crucial clue - the easily overlooked hair in the second victim's bathroom.
If it weren't for Xu Mo's sharp eye, they might have needed much more effort to identify the suspect.
Not to mention, it was Xu Mo who finally got the tight-lipped suspect to talk.
If Xu Mo hadn't been there, they probably would have still been empty-handed by the time they had to release the suspect, as per regulations.
Hearing Captain Wang say he had struck gold, Han Fei just smiled.
He didn't need Captain Wang to tell him that.
Han Fei certainly knew he had struck gold!
Even without this case, Han Fei would have thought the same.
After all, the various exceptional qualities Xu Mo had displayed on the show were all his strong points.
...
With the body-dumping case wrapped up, Han Fei and his team had no reason to stay in Jiangcheng City any longer.
After bidding farewell to the Jiangcheng police, they bought tickets for a flight back to Ram City that same day, preparing to head home.
As for Xu Mo, he stayed in Jiangcheng City for two more days.
After he had his fill of fun, he bought a ticket to return to Ram City.
Of course, before leaving, Xu Mo also arranged for a tow truck to transport the RS7 that the system had rewarded him back to Ram City.
...
On the plane.
After boarding, Xu Mo connected to the plane's WiFi and logged into an official website, browsing through the list of wanted criminals.
He was looking at the wanted list because Xu Mo knew that cases wouldn't come up every day.
But there were quite a few fugitives still at large!
It would certainly be useful to occasionally check these official wanted notices and memorize the appearances of these fugitives.
You never know, he might get lucky one day and bump into a wanted criminal on the street... Sweet!
As he was looking, Zhou Qiaoqiao, sitting in the seat next to Xu Mo, leaned over and said,
"Why are you looking at this stuff? Do you want to be a bounty hunter?"
Xu Mo didn't bother to explain too much.
He simply nodded, "Yeah, catching one fugitive can get you a reward of several hundred thousand. It's quick money."
"But can you actually catch one? Sure, the reward for catching a fugitive is nice, but have you seen how many years these people on the wanted list have been on the run? If they were that easy to catch, they would have been caught long ago. I think you should give up. These people have probably snuck out of the country and are hiding somewhere," Yang Jingxuan chimed in.
"I'm just looking at the rewards, it's not like I lose anything even if I can't catch them. Besides, what if I get lucky and run into one someday?" Xu Mo shrugged.
"As if anyone could be that lucky!" An Youyi also threw in her two cents.
Xu Mo put on a stern face.
"All of you, have you forgotten who's in charge here? Is this how you should be talking to me?"
He then gave them all a mischievous look.
"Ladies, I'm sure you wouldn't want your families to know that your boyfriends were all just me pretending, would you?"
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
An Youyi: "???"
Li Jiaxin: "???"
The four of them were accompanying Xu Mo to Ram City.
This was mainly because Xu Mo had played the role of boyfriend for each of them, helping to fool their respective parents.
Now that Xu Mo was returning to Ram City, they naturally had to follow along.
Otherwise, it would be hard to explain to their parents.
When you're in a relationship, you're supposed to be together, right? What kind of talk is a long-distance relationship?
If they were to be suspected or even found out because of this, wouldn't they end up being forced into arranged dates?
Arranged dates are just too painful!
They certainly didn't want to be forced into that.
So, they bought tickets for the same flight as Xu Mo and went to Ram City together.
Of course, they had discussed this with Xu Mo beforehand.
It was only after Xu Mo agreed that they followed him to Ram City.
Xu Mo, adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, didn't refuse and gladly agreed.
After all, they were friends, and it wasn't a big deal to help out a bit.
...
At this moment, a flight attendant was speaking to a passenger.
"Sir, the plane is about to take off. Could you please return to your seat and sit down? Please don't move around randomly, okay?"
Looking towards the voice, Xu Mo noticed a man wearing sunglasses...

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
