The police station received an emergency call.
An ATM machine in a 24-hour self-service bank had been dug out!
That's right, it was dug out.
Someone drove an excavator and forcibly dug the ATM machine out of the 24-hour self-service bank!
When Han Fei heard about this from the police officer, he was completely dumbfounded.
This incident was truly absurd!
What were they thinking?
Using an excavator to dig out an ATM machine... Are they insane!?
"These foolish thieves..." Han Fei couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
Although this act had a very negative impact,
The culprits shouldn't be hard to catch.
After all, an excavator is a large target, and checking the surveillance footage should quickly reveal where they went.
So Han Fei couldn't be bothered to personally handle it.
He directly assigned the task of catching these stupid thieves to Xu Mo.
It would help him familiarize himself with the work and interact with his colleagues.
As soon as Han Fei finished explaining the situation to Xu Mo, Xu Mo was also bewildered.
"What? An ATM machine was dug out by someone with an excavator?"
Xu Mo didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
Using an excavator to dig out an ATM machine... What kind of thought process is that?
"Mm-hmm." Han Fei nodded helplessly: "Surprising, isn't it?"
"I really didn't expect that. It's too ridiculous! Using an excavator to dig out an ATM machine, what were they thinking?"
After Xu Mo finished speaking, Han Fei waved his hand: "Ridiculous? This is nothing. I've encountered even more absurd cases."
Han Fei continued.
"About a year ago, we received a report. The complainant said that drinks worth 50,000 yuan stored in their warehouse had vanished into thin air. They wanted us to help recover them. So we investigated. After two hours, we found out the result... The thief who stole the drinks had poured all of them into the river overnight, kept the bottles to sell, and made 202 yuan."
Xu Mo: "???"
"There's more," Han Fei spoke again: "There was a thief who broke into someone's house to steal. But he found that there was nothing valuable in the house. He thought a thief shouldn't leave empty-handed, it would be unlucky not to take anything... So he shaved the fur off the owner's cat's head and took it with him."
Xu Mo: "???"
"There are so many ridiculous things, let me tell you, using an excavator to dig out an ATM machine is really nothing. I've encountered far too many absurd cases, and there's also..." Han Fei stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
He changed the subject: "Anyway, you should go with the officers to catch the person who used the excavator to dig out the ATM machine. I won't waste your time now. When you come back after catching them, I'll continue telling you more."
Xu Mo nodded very decisively: "Alright."
Then he immediately stood up, ready to go catch the culprits with the other officers.
Xu Mo liked this arrest assignment Han Fei had given him.
Not only was it not too difficult, but he could also get system rewards.
...
Xu Mo and two other police officers drove to the self-service bank where the ATM machine had been dug out.
The glass door of the self-service bank had been smashed.
There should have been six self-service ATMs in the bank, but now only five remained.
There was also a long scratch mark on the floor of the bank.
It seemed to have been caused by dragging the ATM machine across the ground.
These scratch marks were not only inside the bank but also extended to the asphalt road outside.
In addition to the scratch marks caused by dragging the ATM machine on the ground, the excavator's tracks had also left very obvious driving traces on the road surface.
Xu Mo and the other two police officers looked at each other, momentarily dumbfounded.
Before coming, they had thought that these thieves would be easy to catch.
After all, the foolish thieves were using an excavator.
An excavator is not a small target, and following the surveillance footage would quickly lead them to the thieves' hiding place.
But now it seemed they had overthought it.
Why bother checking surveillance footage?
Checking surveillance footage would be a waste of time.
The excavator's tracks would leave very obvious driving traces on the road surface.
Similarly, the ATM machine being dragged on the ground would also leave marks.
Following the driving traces left by the excavator on the ground would certainly lead them to these foolish thieves.
No need to check surveillance footage.
The group immediately got into the police car.
They followed the driving traces left by the excavator's tracks on the ground.
...
Ten minutes later.
They found the excavator, the dug-out ATM machine, and the two foolish thieves who had used the excavator to dig out the ATM machine.
It's worth mentioning that these two foolish thieves were foreigners, judging by their appearance, they seemed to be Indians.
Xu Mo, who had just thought that using an excavator to dig out an ATM machine was very absurd, suddenly felt that this incident wasn't absurd at all.
In fact, it seemed quite reasonable!
After all, considering the imagination of Indian brothers... this kind of behavior was actually normal for them.
At this moment, the two Indians were completely unaware of the police's arrival.
They were sitting next to the violently dug-out ATM machine, counting money.
Counting money while grinning stupidly.
"I told you my idea was good, didn't I? Why work a job? How much can you earn from a job? Digging out one ATM machine gives us 240,000, this money is equivalent to us working hard for three years!"
"Your idea is indeed good, this is much better than working a job. We get 240,000 for one job, split 50-50, that's 120,000 each. If we dig out one ATM machine a month... we can each earn over 1.4 million a year!"
"No, let's do it once every two months. A self-service bank only has six machines, if we do it once every two months... six machines will last us exactly a year."
"Alright, let's do as you say, once every two months!"
"..."
The two were communicating in Hindi.
The police officers couldn't understand at all.
However, whether they understood or not didn't matter, as long as they confirmed these two were the criminals who had used the excavator to dig out the ATM machine.
The next second, two police officers walked up, interrupting the conversation between the two Indians.
They showed their police badges.
"Don't move, behave yourselves, you're under arrest!"
The Indians, not understanding the situation, quickly hugged the money they had taken from the ATM machine tightly: "&@￥*#@*&@*%￥@#"
The police officers were stunned after hearing this.
"What are they saying? It's all gibberish! I can't understand a word, can you guys?"
The other police officer also shook his head.
"I don't understand. I only know a little bit of English, but what he's saying doesn't seem to be English. That's strange, I thought Indians all spoke English?"
At this moment, Xu Mo spoke up.
"English is just one of the main languages in India. Besides English, they have other languages. What they just said was Hindi. He's mistaken us for robbers and is telling us not to steal his money, otherwise he'll call the police to arrest us."
Police officer: "???"
You're going to call the police!?
Call the police to arrest who? To arrest us? We are the police! Can't you see that big police car behind us??
Xu Mo looked at the two Indians and explained their identity in Hindi.
"No need to call the police, we are the police. We're here to arrest you. You have committed a crime."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
