“If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Let's go, let's grab some late-night snacks. I've been busy all night, and I'm starving.” Seeing that Xu Mo didn't want to tell the truth, Han Fei didn't press further.
Everyone has their own little secrets, and this might just be Xu Mo's.
If Xu Mo didn't want to talk about it, then he wouldn't ask. Han Fei chose to respect Xu Mo's little secret.
But what Han Fei didn't know was that Xu Mo was telling the truth. Xu Mo really did have a truth serum, and it was indeed by using the truth serum that he managed to make Gou Yong confess.
It was just that Han Fei himself didn't want to believe it...
“You successfully captured the fugitive and received a reward—Turtle Breathing Technique.”
Hmm? Turtle Breathing Technique? Xu Mo was taken aback.
He checked the system for an introduction to this reward.
Turtle Breathing Technique: Improves sleep quality. Using this method to sleep, you only need to sleep for two hours a day to ensure a full day of energy without fatigue. It also has benefits such as prolonging life and strengthening the body.
After reading the introduction, Xu Mo had a general understanding.
The so-called Turtle Breathing Technique was essentially a specific method of sleep.
By using the Turtle Breathing Technique, one could significantly improve sleep quality while shortening sleep time, and it also had benefits like prolonging life and strengthening the body.
“What are you spacing out for? There's a great street stall nearby with delicious food. I'll take you there to try it.” Han Fei patted Xu Mo, who was lost in thought.
The two walked out of the police station side by side.
When they were about to head to the parking lot to find their car, Han Fei suddenly remembered that he hadn't driven today.
“Did you drive?” Han Fei said, “My car is in for maintenance today, so I took a taxi.”
Xu Mo nodded, “Yes, it's parked on the side of the road.”
“Then let's take your car. I'll guide you.”
When they reached Xu Mo's RS7, Xu Mo noticed that Han Fei's eyes showed a hint of longing as he looked at the car.
Xu Mo immediately took out the keys and handed them to Han Fei with a smile, “Want to give it a try?”
“Isn't that a bit much? This car is so expensive, what if I scratch it...” Han Fei hesitated.
“What are you afraid of? I have insurance. Are you sure you don't want to try it?” Xu Mo asked again, “Besides, you're a seasoned driver with decades of experience. Don't you trust your own driving skills?”
Han Fei was very tempted.
But he still gritted his teeth and refused.
“No, this car is too expensive. I'd better not drive it. I'm a criminal investigation captain, driving such a nice car... it's not appropriate. If no one sees it, it's fine, but if someone sees it and takes a photo to post online, it's not good.”
After saying that, Han Fei added insincerely, “Actually, I'm not really interested in luxury cars. A car is just a car, right? Four wheels and a steering wheel, what's the difference between high and low, expensive and cheap? I think my Volkswagen is pretty good too, not much worse than yours.”
...
One minute later.
An RS7 was speeding on the roads of Ram City.
The person sitting in the driver's seat was none other than Han Fei.
At this moment, Han Fei's face was filled with a genuine smile.
“Wow! This acceleration... amazing! Luxury cars are luxury cars, just stepping on the gas and it shoots forward, it's really exhilarating! Your car is much better to drive than my old clunker!”
Xu Mo: “...”
Didn't you say you weren't interested in luxury cars?
Is this what you call not being interested!?
Just a moment ago, you said your car wasn't much worse than Xu Mo's.
And now you've changed your tune... your face changes too fast!
After driving Xu Mo's car for a spin and satisfying his craving, Han Fei drove Xu Mo to the street stall he had mentioned.
The two found a seat and sat down.
Han Fei was a regular here, so often that the owner knew him well.
“Do you have any dietary restrictions?” Han Fei asked Xu Mo before ordering.
“No, I don't have any dietary restrictions. You can order as you like.” Xu Mo shook his head.
“Then I'll order as usual.” Han Fei called out, “Boss, the usual.”
Seeing Han Fei, the regular customer, the owner smiled at him.
“You're here again, the usual, right? Just a moment, it'll be ready soon.”
After waiting for a while.
The owner of the street stall brought over a plate.
On the plate were some hearty dishes: lamb kidneys, leeks, oysters, lamb balls...
The owner placed the plate on the table and said, “There's more on the grill, you can start eating, the rest will be here soon.”
Xu Mo was stunned.
Lamb kidneys, leeks, oysters, lamb balls... good lord, do we need this much of a boost?
But then he thought about it and understood.
After all, Han Fei was getting on in years, and it was normal for a middle-aged man to eat something to boost his vitality.
Seeing that Xu Mo's expression was a bit off, Han Fei also glanced at the plate on the table and realized that the owner had brought out all the hearty dishes he had ordered at once.
These were all quite common items, but when placed together and served at the same time, it looked a bit odd...
It might lead to some not-so-great associations.
Worried that Xu Mo might misunderstand something, Han Fei quickly explained, “There's more, I didn't order just these. I'm not... I ordered these mainly because they're delicious.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know! I get it!” Xu Mo nodded, indicating he understood.
We're all men, we all want to save face, he got it!
Han Fei: “...”
Xu Mo's reaction made him feel like he was digging himself into a deeper hole.
The rest of the barbecue was brought out one by one, and Han Fei looked at Xu Mo again, “Do you want to add anything? There's a menu on the table, if you want anything else, you can add it yourself.”
“Nothing else to add, let's start eating, we can add more later if we need to.” Xu Mo said, shaking his head, indicating he didn't want to add anything more.
During the barbecue,
Han Fei ate and complained, “Ah, this period has been so busy that I feel like I have two heads. Recently, I don't know what's going on, cases just keep coming one after another, it feels like the crime rate has gone up a lot, it's really headache-inducing.”
Xu Mo didn't respond, just kept eating.
He didn't know what to say, because the cases one after another had something to do with him!
Han Fei didn't know that his feeling of rising crime rate was actually related to Xu Mo...
Before, things weren't so busy because the various systems were quite well-established, and crime prevention propaganda was also very effective, so the crime rate had been steadily declining, especially serious crimes like murder.
But because Xu Mo had the Conan physique, where he went, someone would die.
Now that he was working at the police station, cases naturally kept coming one after another.
Seeing that Xu Mo didn't say anything, Han Fei continued.
“It was fine before, the crime rate was very low, even if there were crimes, they were just petty thefts, and serious cases like murder were rare, maybe once every few months. Who knew... recently, it's been like a ghost is haunting us, the crime rate is skyrocketing, almost one murder case a day, and I've asked my friends in other areas, and they're still the same, it seems like only our jurisdiction's crime rate is rising, it's really bizarre.”
After saying that, Han Fei lit a cigarette, feeling very frustrated...

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
