Han Fei claimed that he just went through the motions while Xu Mo did all the work, implying that Xu Mo solved the case single-handedly.
It's worth noting that while there were many capable individuals in the police station, those who could solve cases independently were extremely rare.
Especially considering this case that Xu Mo solved was one that had given all officers a headache.
A case that stumped everyone was cracked by Xu Mo, a newcomer.
This forced all the officers to reassess their view of this rookie...
What kind of monster was this guy?
He was almost unfairly good!
After Han Fei pushed through the crowd and returned to his office, the officers surrounded Xu Mo like stars orbiting the moon.
"That's impressive, Xu Mo! You solved this case all by yourself? Tell us how you did it!"
"Yes, yes, tell us! We want to learn from you!"
"What did I tell you? What did I say? When Xu Mo first arrived, I said he seemed extraordinary! That's what I call an eye for talent!"
"How did you come to suspect that psychologist? Tell us about it!"
"..."
How did it happen... Would they believe him if he said it was luck? Xu Mo thought back to the process: "It's really not as mysterious as everyone's making it out to be. I just got lucky."
His words were met with collective skepticism.
Luck?
Since when did solving cases depend on luck?
It should be about skill!
Who solves cases by luck?
Nobody believed Xu Mo's explanation, and they kept pressing him to share the whole process.
Feeling his colleagues' enthusiasm, Xu Mo began to recount the events.
"Last night, I checked the surveillance footage from the Guojin Building and noticed something odd. So I went back there and happened to stop someone from jumping off the building. I asked them why they wanted to jump... From their answer, I figured out the perpetrator might be a psychologist. After that, Captain Han led the team to arrest the psychologist, and we interrogated him together. He confessed to everything. It's that simple, really not as mysterious as everyone's making it out to be."
Xu Mo spoke casually because he genuinely felt there was nothing remarkable about how he solved the case; everything seemed normal to him.
But while he felt that way, others certainly didn't.
The officers could only assume this was Xu Mo being modest.
Simple? How was that simple??
Among all of them, only Xu Mo noticed something wrong with the surveillance footage.
The part about saving someone at the Guojin Building could be attributed to luck, as Xu Mo said.
But the interrogation... Was that really simple?
Especially when dealing with a psychologist, someone well-versed in psychology with exceptional mental fortitude!
Interrogating ordinary people was challenging enough, let alone a psychologist - that was definitely a tough nut to crack.
Was it really that simple to make a psychologically strong professional confess?
At this moment, everyone had the same thought.
Xu Mo was being too modest!
Then someone else asked.
"Wasn't the psychologist difficult to interrogate? I think psychologists and lawyers are the hardest to interrogate when they commit crimes... How did you get him to confess? Any special techniques?"
Xu Mo paused for two seconds, then put on a mysterious expression.
"To be honest, I have truth serum! One injection, and whether they're a lawyer or psychologist, if they've committed a crime, they'll confess everything immediately, without holding anything back."
Everyone: "..."
It was one thing to deflect, but this was ridiculous!
Truth serum? Really?
That only exists in TV dramas, not in the real world.
Was Xu Mo treating them like three-year-olds? Did he think they were that gullible?
Even in TV dramas, truth serum wasn't that effective - it wouldn't work on someone with strong willpower. Clearly, Xu Mo just didn't want to tell the truth.
It seemed Xu Mo had his own unique interrogation techniques, but obviously, he was unwilling to share them. This might be his little secret, or perhaps Xu Mo had some other reason he couldn't discuss.
Thinking this way, everyone dropped their curiosity and stopped asking.
"It's your little secret, right? No worries, if you don't want to tell us, that's fine. Everyone has their secrets, we understand."
"No wonder Captain Han picked you. You're really impressive, much better than me. I admit it."
"Either way, Xu Mo is part of our police force now, and that's lucky for all of us. Having such an expert here means we'll all benefit."
"..."
This trick worked well - as soon as I mentioned truth serum, they stopped asking... Xu Mo thought to himself that he hadn't actually lied to them; he'd told the truth, but they chose not to believe it.
...
For the rest of the day, most officers weren't too busy, so it was quite relaxed.
Most officers would occasionally discuss among themselves, frequently glancing at Xu Mo.
Their subject of discussion was naturally Xu Mo, but what exactly they were discussing remained unknown.
Xu Mo completely ignored these discussions and the occasional glances thrown his way, acting as if nothing was happening.
After finishing the small amount of work he had, Xu Mo simply started slacking off.
This continued for the entire day.
After returning home, he ate the dinner prepared by the four women, chatted with them for a while, watched some TV, and then went to his room.
He used the turtle breathing technique to sleep for two hours.
When he woke up, he felt refreshed, all fatigue gone, feeling full of energy.
Like yesterday, Xu Mo played games to pass the time until dawn, then ate breakfast and headed straight to the police station.
He arrived at eight-thirty.
Xu Mo had once again arrived just on time.
As soon as he entered, he noticed something was off about the atmosphere in the police station.
Today, the mood in the station was somewhat gloomy, completely different from yesterday's cheerful atmosphere.
Something seems wrong, is there a new case? Xu Mo asked Wang Dachuan, who had arrived earlier: "What's going on today? Why does everyone look so serious? Do we have a new case?"
"Yes!" Wang Dachuan nodded: "Missing persons cases. We've received over a dozen reports in the past three days. All the missing are girls, young women - the youngest is sixteen, and the oldest is only twenty-four."
"Human trafficking?" Xu Mo was startled, realizing he had guessed correctly about there being a case.
Wang Dachuan nodded again, then handed Xu Mo a document: "It's almost certainly trafficking. The frequency of disappearances isn't normally this high. These are the files on the known missing persons - take a look."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
