Qianjiang Road.
Inside room 306 of a homestay.
As soon as Xu Mo entered, he reflexively locked the door.
He looked at Yang Jingxuan with a smile.
"Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Almost instinctively, Yang Jingxuan took two steps back: "What is it?"
"Why are you so nervous?" Xu Mo laughed: "You're making me look like a bad guy."
After a pause, Xu Mo raised his eyebrows at Yang Jingxuan and said, "How about we play a game? Roleplaying."
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
Play games?
And roleplaying?
Subconsciously protecting herself with her hands, Yang Jingxuan looked terrified: "Get a grip, you're scaring me."
However, Xu Mo simply rolled his eyes.
"Not what you think...keep dreaming."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Mo went on, "That woman has issues, she's a scammer, a fraudster, I need you to cooperate with me and put on an act..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Jingxuan's rebuttal.
"I don't know if she's a scammer, but I know you must be lusting after her body, you pervert!"
"Forget it!"
In addition to rebutting, Yang Jingxuan also resolutely refused Xu Mo's unreasonable request: "Anyway, I absolutely won't help you harm others, I can't live with myself."
"Even if I treat you to a big meal?", Xu Mo glanced at her indifferently.
The next second, Yang Jingxuan nodded quickly: "Deal! What do you need me to do to cooperate?"
"It's simple, just do this...", Xu Mo whispered into Yang Jingxuan's ear for a few sentences.
...
At the same time, the investigation team had arrived at the taxi company.
After stating their identities and purpose,
the people at the taxi company said they were willing to cooperate.
The investigation team provided them with several dozen license plate numbers they had obtained and written down from the airport surveillance footage.
The taxi company staff also immediately arranged for some employees to check the driver information corresponding to those license plates.
And called them one by one to inquire.
The driver who had picked up Xu Mo responded.
The investigation team also learned from this driver that as soon as the car crossed the Qingchun Tunnel over the Qiantang River, Xu Mo got off.
Han Fei looked at the few Hangzhou police officers lent to him by Director Wang.
"Check the area around Qingchun Tunnel with Skynet."
To use Skynet they needed to go to headquarters.
So next, the investigation team followed the officers to headquarters.
Upon arriving at headquarters, the first thing Han Fei did was go to Director Wang's office to say hello to his old friend.
Pushing open the office door, he found the room filled with swirling smoke.
At this moment, Director Wang was sitting in his chair, frowning as he pondered something.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, Han Fei was slightly surprised.
"I wondered who would be so bold as to come in without knocking first." Director Wang looked at Han Fei unpleasantly: "Well, did you catch him?"
Han Fei shook his head.
"No, this guy is very crafty. All I know is where he appeared a few hours ago. I came to borrow Skynet," Han Fei said.
Next, Han Fei shifted the topic to Director Wang.
"What's this about...did you run into some difficult case?"
Although he didn't answer,
Han Fei had roughly guessed.
He reckoned it was some particularly tricky case, or one with very negative ramifications.
"What's going on, tell me about it. Maybe I can help you out," Han Fei said.
Although his current mission was to catch Xu Mo,
everything had its priorities.
Xu Mo wasn't really a fugitive, his threat to society was negligible. Whenever they caught him would be fine, it was just a show after all.
But what the Hangzhou police were facing now were real criminals.
By comparison, catching Xu Mo could wait, or even be temporarily put aside.
Also, he was getting headaches from Xu Mo messing with him now. He really needed a change of pace.
At this point, Han Fei even started wondering if there was something wrong with his abilities.
To the point that he worried the livestream viewers would see him as useless for failing to catch Xu Mo so far.
Han Fei desperately needed an opportunity to prove himself.
One that could help him regain confidence, and let the livestream viewers know that he really was very capable.
Not catching Xu Mo wasn't his fault.
Damn Xu Mo was the problem!
Unexpectedly, Director Wang declined his offer.
"It's fine, although a bit tricky, we can handle it. We've already tracked down the location of two members of that fraud ring," Director Wang said.
Hearing Director Wang say this, Han Fei didn't make much of the matter.
Since he already said he could handle it, there was no need to butt in.
"Alright, I won't disturb you then. See you later, after I catch Xu Mo, dinner's on me," Han Fei said before leaving the office.
Right at that moment, the Skynet comparison results came out.
After getting out of the taxi, Xu Mo had walked a long distance.
Although he tried very hard to avoid surveillance cameras along the way.
But with cameras so densely distributed, plus Xu Mo not wearing a disguise this time.
He was still captured by Skynet.
Skynet showed Xu Mo's last known location to be near Qianjiang Road.
"Qianjiang Road," Han Fei stroked his stubble, "No time to lose, let's move out!"
Han Fei knew very clearly, settling accommodation was something Xu Mo had to resolve.
With experience from last time.
This time, he was prepared to focus his investigation on all the high-end hotels in the area!
...
At the homestay.
Wang Yue came to the front desk and asked the boss lady,
"Boss, which room is the couple that just checked in staying at?"
"I can't tell you that." The boss shook his head: "That's the guests' privacy."
Wang Yue was prepared. She took out Xu Mo's phone.
"I bumped into him on the stairs just now and accidentally picked up his phone thinking it was mine. I have to return it to him and apologize, otherwise he might think I'm a thief."
The boss lady looked over Wang Yue's expression.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she answered without thinking too much: "Room 306 on the third floor."
"Thanks."
After thanking her, Wang Yue took Xu Mo's phone and headed upstairs to the third floor.
The sound of high heels on the floor was very recognizable.
Plus Xu Mo's extraordinary brain.
From the frequency and weight of the footsteps outside the door, he could judge that it was the female scammer who had come.
No need to think, obviously she was here to return the phone.
Pretending to be a good Samaritan to get closer to him.
Xu Mo signalled Yang Jingxuan with his eyes and said softly: "Do as I told you earlier."
Yang Jingxuan immediately understood.
As a celebrity, she still had some acting skills.
After brewing her emotions for a bit, she spoke.
"Can't you spend more time with me? What's that yellow-faced shrew at your home got that I don't?"
Due to the poor sound insulation of the homestay,
this sentence was heard loud and clear by Wang Yue, who had just arrived outside room 306.
Her hand, raised and ready to knock on the door, lowered...
