"Officer Han Fei, that woman doesn't seem like a good person!"
"Han Fei, that woman over there doesn't seem like a good person either!"
"Han Fei, take a look at that guy over there, the one telling fortunes at the stall. He doesn't seem like a good person either!"
"And that beggar over there, he doesn't seem like a good person either!"
"..."
The young man helping Han Fei maintain his cover hadn't stopped talking for a moment. In his eyes, almost no one seemed like a good person.
"Alright, alright, stop talking and stop looking around. Be careful not to blow our cover."
Han Fei really wanted to shoo away this chatty young man, but since he had no idea how to make pancakes, and customers kept coming to buy them, he decided to endure it.
A middle-aged man running a pancake stall but making a mess of it would surely raise suspicions if the suspect wasn't completely clueless.
"Forget it this time, but I'm never pretending to be a pancake seller again. What a hassle!" Han Fei thought to himself.
At the same time, he was pretending to casually observe the passing crowd, not missing a single person.
Aside from Han Fei, the other undercover officers were doing the same, meticulously scrutinizing everyone who passed by, not letting anyone slip through unnoticed.
Everyone was on edge, afraid they might miss the suspect if they let their guard down for even a second.
But Xu Mo was different.
Compared to the other officers, Xu Mo was much more relaxed.
In fact, he was currently telling the fortune of a stunningly beautiful girl squatting in front of his fortune-telling stall. The main reason was that it wasn't yet 6:30, and the time mentioned in the system's clue was still a while away, so there was no rush.
The other officers didn't know when the suspect would appear on the bridge, but Xu Mo did, so he wasn't worried about the suspect showing up at that moment.
Pretending to pinch his fingers a couple of times, Xu Mo looked at the girl in front of him and said,
"Miss, you're going to have a bloody disaster soon!"
"Ah? A bloody disaster? Master, do you have a way to avert it?"
Xu Mo calmly shook his head.
"There is a way... but it's unnecessary. Don't worry, it's just a minor issue, very normal. At most, it'll resolve itself within a week."
The girl was stunned for a moment before she finally understood what Xu Mo meant.
First, she felt a bit embarrassed, then surprised, thinking to herself that Xu Mo really knew his stuff! He actually knew how to tell fortunes!
Originally, the girl had approached Xu Mo's stall because she recognized him as the famous Xu Mo.
She had just wanted to interact with this legendary figure, but she hadn't expected Xu Mo to actually know how to tell fortunes, even accurately predicting her "bloody disaster."
"You really are something! The man who outsmarted the pursuit team can even tell fortunes. I'm curious, is there anything you can't do?"
"You know me?"
"Of course! The infamous 'Outlaw' Xu Mo. It's hard not to know you. Um, could you give me an autograph?" As she spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from her bag.
"Blank paper? That's not very convenient." Xu Mo glanced at the blank paper and immediately rejected her request for an autograph.
As a public figure, he wasn't going to sign a blank piece of paper, as it could lead to unnecessary trouble.
After being rejected, the girl looked disappointed, but then she seemed to have an idea. She put the paper back in her bag, adjusted her clothes, revealing her shoulder strap, and asked,
"Can you sign here instead?"
Seeing Xu Mo glance at the shoulder strap without responding, the girl smiled faintly, understanding his hesitation. "If it's really inconvenient, forget it. How about a photo instead?"
But she had misunderstood Xu Mo's thoughts.
Xu Mo was actually thinking, "You can do that?! Signing on blank paper is a no-go, but signing here? That's perfect!"
"No, no, it's not inconvenient at all. I'm a pretty easygoing person. As long as it's not on blank paper, I usually don't refuse."
Xu Mo took the pen from the girl and signed his name on the narrow shoulder strap.
Not far away, Han Fei noticed this scene, but from his angle, Xu Mo's actions looked like he was being a pervert, with his head practically buried in the girl's shoulder!
Han Fei: "???"
What are you doing?! You're supposed to be undercover, not out here harassing girls!
And why isn't the girl rejecting him? She's even leaning in closer?!
Han Fei immediately reminded Xu Mo through the wireless earpiece: "Xu Mo, watch your behavior. You're here to catch a suspect."
"I know, I know. I just ran into a fan who wanted an autograph. I couldn't refuse, or people would say I'm being arrogant."
The other officers also heard their conversation through the earpiece and couldn't help but glance in Xu Mo's direction. They all saw him signing the autograph.
As soon as the girl left, satisfied, another guy recognized Xu Mo.
"Xu Mo? Wow, it really is you! I'm a huge fan. Can I get an autograph too?"
This time, Xu Mo didn't hesitate to refuse.
"Sorry, not convenient."
Han Fei: "???"
The other officers: "???"
"Only signing for girls and not for guys? Is that even about autographs? I don't want to call you out, but you're not signing—you're just being a creep!" Han Fei's exasperated voice came through the earpiece.
Xu Mo shrugged and argued with Han Fei.
"What are you talking about? If men don't appreciate beauty, what should they appreciate? Being polite?
"Besides, Captain Han, you were the one who told me to watch my behavior earlier. I'm just reflecting deeply and refusing to sign now. You scold me when I sign, and you scold me when I don't. You've got all the good and bad things to say. So, should I sign or not? Huh?"
Not far away, Han Fei pinched the bridge of his nose, looking utterly defeated. Xu Mo's twisted logic was too much for him to handle.
Come to think of it, it was indeed Han Fei who had told Xu Mo to watch his behavior earlier, and now Xu Mo was turning it around and blaming him.
"You... forget it, I'm not arguing with you. I can't win." Han Fei decisively chose not to engage further.
Soon, another girl squatted in front of Xu Mo's fortune-telling stall, and he began reading her palm and telling her fortune.
Seeing this, Han Fei couldn't help but sigh, thinking that next time they had a similar mission, he definitely wouldn't let Xu Mo run a fortune-telling stall. He'd swap Xu Mo and Wang Dachuan's roles.
Let Wang Dachuan run the fortune-telling stall, and make Xu Mo beg with a broken bowl. Let's see what kind of trouble he can stir up then!
