"Damn, will this ever end?" Pig Monk felt desperate when he heard footsteps behind him.
His companions had already fled far ahead, leaving him behind due to his injured leg that slowed him down.
However, when he turned around, he only saw Xu Mo alone, and his anxious heart immediately calmed down.
I thought there were many pursuers, but it's just one person? And they dare to chase after me alone? More importantly, this pursuer isn't even the skilled fighter from before!
He couldn't beat the one in the floral dress earlier, but surely he could handle this pretty boy?
He refused to believe that all these police officers were equally skilled fighters!
Could they all be martial arts experts? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
With these thoughts, he stopped running, waiting for Xu Mo to get closer so he could deliver a fatal strike.
"I'll teach you a lesson for chasing me!" When Xu Mo was close enough, at such a short distance, it would be easy to succeed. Pig Monk grabbed a brick from the ground and swung it at Xu Mo's head.
If this hit connected, it would result in at least a concussion.
But he clearly underestimated Xu Mo, whose fighting skills surpassed even Chen Ke's. With a quick duck, he easily dodged the brick.
Seeing this, Pig Monk was slightly stunned. Pretty agile, huh? Let's see how many times you can dodge! He bent down to pick up another brick.
However, when he looked up again, he froze.
Xu Mo had drawn his gun while he was bending down to pick up the brick...
"Drop it, hands on your head and squat facing the wall."
Looking at the brick in his hand, then at the gun in Xu Mo's hand.
Pig Monk quickly dropped the brick and obediently squatted facing the wall with his hands on his head.
With the dark barrel of the gun pointing at him, there was no question about which was faster - a brick or a bullet.
At this moment, submission was the best choice.
Seeing this, Xu Mo quickly moved forward and handcuffed Pig Monk's hands behind his back.
Xu Mo didn't continue pursuing the remaining three men, not because he didn't want to, but because he had no idea which direction they went.
The layout of the shantytown was incredibly complex. He had only caught up with Pig Monk because the latter was injured and moving slowly, making his escape route visible.
As for the other three, Xu Mo was helpless.
Although his night vision was considerably better than average people's, it was of little use in this maze-like shantytown - after all, he couldn't see through walls.
However, catching this one was enough.
With one member of the four-person gang in custody, how hard could it be to catch the remaining three?
Xu Mo looked at Pig Monk: "Who are your accomplices? And where's the girl you kidnapped?"
Hearing this, Pig Monk turned his head away, showing no intention of answering Xu Mo's questions.
"Quite loyal, aren't you..." Xu Mo continued staring at him: "Active cooperation could count as merit and lead to a reduced sentence. You could spend fewer years in prison. Are you sure you want to pass up this opportunity?"
Pig Monk remained unmoved.
He had made up his mind to say nothing.
The promise of a reduced sentence wasn't necessarily reliable. Even if he revealed his accomplices' identities, there was no guarantee of a reduction, let alone how much time would be cut off.
Moreover, if it weren't for his accomplices, he would have been caught earlier and wouldn't have made it this far.
If Sand Monk was willing to risk capture to save him, he wouldn't be such a disloyal person in return.
No matter what Xu Mo asked next, he wouldn't talk!
However, the scenario he imagined of Xu Mo continuing to question him didn't materialize.
Instead, Xu Mo pressed his hand to his earpiece and spoke:
"You caught one too? This Pig Monk is being tight-lipped, won't say anything. Has the Tang Monk you caught confessed?"
Seeing Xu Mo deliberately speaking like this in front of him, Pig Monk gave a cold smile.
Trying to drive a wedge between us? Such a basic trick won't fool me! No way!
Xu Mo ignored Pig Monk's cold smile and continued speaking into his earpiece.
"Their hideout is near the intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road? What else did he say? Did he reveal the true identities of the other two?"
Pig Monk's eyes widened: ??
Near the intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road?
That was exactly where their hideout was!
All their "goods" were being held there, not yet disposed of.
That place was secluded and well-hidden; the police couldn't possibly know about it.
But Xu Mo had mentioned this specific location, which could only mean one thing - he was telling the truth, and their leader Tang Monk had really been caught!
And he had revealed their hideout's location...
He betrayed them just to get his sentence reduced?
Thinking about it carefully, he realized their boss was exactly the type to do such a treacherous thing - after all, he was the first to run away earlier, showing no concern for the other three!
Before he could think it through, Pig Monk couldn't hold back anymore.
He had been so loyal, refusing to talk even at the cost of a reduced sentence, but their boss showed no loyalty at all, immediately giving up their hideout's location...
Given the situation, the boss would surely reveal the identities of the other two brothers to reduce his sentence.
Of the four brothers, none would escape... Since they were all going to be caught anyway, why shouldn't he take the opportunity for a reduced sentence? Why should the boss be the only one to benefit?
With this thought, Pig Monk spoke up.
"I know the real identities of the other two, I'll tell you! One is called Xiong Yan, the other is Zhang Li! They're both from Ram City. I even know their exact addresses - one lives in Lijiang Garden, Building 3, Unit 504, and the other..."
After spilling everything, Xu Mo lowered his hand from his earpiece and looked at him with an ambiguous smile.
"See? You can be quite cooperative. Continue - besides these two, what's the other one's name? Where exactly is your hideout near the intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road? Where are the girls you kidnapped?"
Xu Mo's previous words had all been deliberate.
The other officers hadn't caught anyone else, and Xu Mo didn't actually know where the human traffickers' hideout was.
The intersection of Dayu Road and Xifeng Road was just a location they had spotted during their surveillance camera investigation as a suspected hideout location, but Xu Mo wasn't even sure if it was correct.
He was just trying to get information, and surprisingly, it worked.
The divide-and-conquer strategy... really was effective!
No wonder the police station always interrogated suspects separately.
Pig Monk stared at Xu Mo in bewilderment.
He had fallen right into Xu Mo's trap!
