Too Slow at Triple Speed, Let's Go at Sixty-Four Times Speed

Xu Mo chose a straightforward approach to questioning, primarily to save time.

He was well-versed in psychology and could easily judge whether someone was lying based on their microexpressions.

For Xu Mo, a direct questioning method was undoubtedly the most efficient.

If the person called in for questioning had indeed tampered with something in the power supply room, their microexpressions would inevitably give them away when they saw the two plastic bags on Xu Mo's desk, even if they tried to conceal it.

"Did you put this rat in the power supply room?"

"No," the employee shook his head.

"Are you sure it wasn't you?"

"Officer, I'm sure."

"Alright," Xu Mo smiled. "You can go now, and call the next person in."

The employee left the office, looking just as bewildered as when he had entered.

This is how real police investigations are done... It's not like in the TV dramas. It feels more like a joke. Can they really solve the case this way? The employee doubted Xu Mo's abilities.

Of course, he only silently complained in his heart and didn't voice his thoughts.

After leaving the office, he called the next colleague to come in for questioning.

"Why did you come out so quickly? What did they ask you?" another employee asked curiously.

"They didn't ask much, just..."

Before he could finish, Li Chen, who was overseeing the employees, interrupted: "No whispering, stay quiet."

The recently questioned employee shrugged and didn't continue.

Soon, the second employee who entered the office also came out and called another person in.

...

The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth employees.

Xu Mo repeated the process, questioning all the employees.

After the questioning, Xu Mo concluded that none of the six employees were involved.

In short, they were not colluding with the thieves to sabotage the power lines; the person who deliberately damaged the lines was someone else.

Chen Ke, who had witnessed Xu Mo questioning the insurance company employees, was puzzled.

"Xu Team, is that it? That's... not going to ask them more carefully?"

Xu Mo had questioned the six employees in less than five minutes.

Basically, he asked each of them a few questions and then had them leave to call the next person in.

Chen Ke knew that Xu Mo had his own methods of interrogation and had seen him determine whether someone was lying with just a couple of questions.

But the current situation was... the only people in the insurance company who could access and enter the power supply room were these six individuals.

Xu Mo's interrogation led to the conclusion that none of the six were involved.

If all six were innocent, then the case couldn't be solved!

All leads were cut off.

Chen Ke believed that the person colluding with the thief gang must be among these six, and it must be that Xu Mo had made a wrong judgment, otherwise, it didn't make sense.

After all, he was counting on the interrogation to uncover the person colluding with the thief gang and, through that, track down this bold gang of thieves.

Who knew that after Xu Mo's interrogation, poof! The trail was gone!

"Of course, I'm not questioning your judgment... I mean, maybe asking more carefully could yield something. I think the third guy who came in seemed a bit suspicious. How about questioning him again?" Chen Ke added.

Xu Mo waved his hand.

"No need. The damage to the lines isn't related to them. Asking them is a waste of time." His tone was very certain.

"The real person who deliberately damaged the lines is someone else. Go get the manager. I need to ask him some questions."

"Get the manager?" Chen Ke showed a pensive expression, and soon, he understood: "I see! You suspect the manager isn't being honest?"

Since these six people weren't the culprits, it meant the manager was likely lying. Maybe he deliberately didn't bring the problematic people for Xu Mo to question, only bringing in a group of innocent individuals.

The six people brought by the manager knew nothing, so it would be strange if anything could be gleaned from them.

Xu Mo smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Ke left the office and called the manager, who was waiting outside: "Manager, our Xu Team wants to see you."

"Me?" The manager was momentarily stunned and then entered the office.

"Are there only six people who can enter the power supply room?" Xu Mo asked after the manager came in.

"Yes," the manager nodded without hesitation. "Only their job responsibilities involve that. Others don't go to the power supply room, and they don't have the keys to enter."

From the manager's tone and expression, Xu Mo could tell he wasn't lying.

Only the six people he brought had the keys to the insurance company's power supply room, in other words, only they could enter the power supply room through legitimate means.

The manager wasn't lying, and neither were the six employees.

This meant the person who entered the power supply room and deliberately damaged the lines did so through other means, possibly by stealing the keys or picking the lock.

"I understand. You can go now." After some thought, Xu Mo stood up and left the office with the manager and Chen Ke.

As soon as they stepped out, a police officer waiting outside approached: "Xu Team, did you find anything?"

Xu Mo shook his head.

"No useful clues. Let's go find Han Team and see if he's found anything."

In the surveillance room.

Han Fei and several police officers were diligently reviewing the surveillance footage, trying to find clues.

At that moment, Xu Mo arrived with his team.

"Han Team, did you find anything?"

"Not yet, we just started looking," Han Fei glanced at Xu Mo. Only a few minutes had passed, so what could they have found? They had just begun their search. "You're done? Already finished the interrogation?"

"Yes, it's not related to those six people," Xu Mo nodded and then walked over to Han Fei's side, ready to review the surveillance footage together.

According to the manager, the power line failure occurred at noon, so the person who tampered with the power supply room should have entered before noon.

To not miss anyone, Han Fei chose to start reviewing from 8:00 AM, the insurance company's working hours.

Of course, they couldn't review the footage minute by minute, as that would be too time-consuming. Han Fei decided to watch at three times the normal speed to save time.

However, after Xu Mo arrived, he thought three times the speed was still too slow...

"Let's watch at 64 times the speed; that will be faster."

The three police officers who came to learn investigation techniques: "???"
