Chapter 105: Fooled Again by Xu Mo
Police Station.
Han Fei took out his phone and displayed the information he had just received.
He gave Wang Ju a glance.
"Lao Wang, this is Xu Mo's upcoming plan; take a look."
Although at first.
Han Fei thought Xu Mo lacked the ability to carry out such a plan, and even once believed that the plan was meant by Xu Mo to mislead them.
But when he received Lao Wang's call and learned that Xu Mo indeed had the ability to hack the bank's security system,
he only then realized that Xu Mo's plan might not be intended to mislead them.
Rather, Xu Mo truly intends to do so.
After Wang Ju finished reviewing Xu Mo's plan,
he looked at Han Fei.
"Wolf Comes... So Xu Mo's False Alarm Report is meant to mislead us into thinking his target is the bank?"
"Exactly," Han Fei nodded, "a feint to the east while striking west, making us think he's really preparing to rob the bank, thereby strengthening the bank's defenses, and then he'll hijack the Cash Transport Vehicle when the Police's attention is fully on the bank."
"According to Xu Mo's plan, will he issue another False Alarm Report later?" Wang Ju asked.
Han Fei nodded.
From the plan's perspective.
Xu Mo clearly intends it that way.
Repeated False Alarm Reports.
The Police will definitely be misled by the Wolf Comes story.
They will think the wolf will truly come.
Thus, instead of relaxing, they will increase their vigilance.
At this moment, Shen Manni, an expert well‑versed in criminal psychology,
unintentionally re‑examined Xu Mo.
"Xu Mo's mind is extremely meticulous; if it weren't for the Program Crew's tip this time, we would certainly have fallen into Xu Mo's trap,"
"What does that matter?" Li Chen chuckled, "I only know that Xu Mo's wishful scheme has failed; we know his entire plan, can he still get away this time?"
Wang Ju nodded.
"Since he intends to rob the Cash Transport Vehicle, we should concentrate most of our attention on the vehicle, leaving him no way out. I will deploy plainclothes officers along the vehicle's route; if Xu Mo dares to approach, we will capture him on the spot!"
"However, we must also watch the bank side; even if we know there's a fraud, we still have to dispatch, we can't put all our attention on the Cash Transport Vehicle," Han Fei added.
"I understand that," Wang Ju said, "When the bank raises an alarm, even if it's a fraud we must respond; what if real criminals take advantage of the opening? Moreover, we have to keep playing along with Xu Mo, otherwise he'll notice something's off and that would be bad."
Han Fei also nodded.
"Alright, that's the plan. We've already coordinated with the escort team; when the Cash Transport Vehicle departs tomorrow, we'll follow it, coordinate with the Police, and surely capture Xu Mo."
In a few words, they had already devised a simple countermeasure.
They intend to place most of their attention on the Cash Transport Vehicle.
Of course, the bank side still needs attention.
Once they receive an alarm call, the Police will still choose to dispatch as quickly as possible.
Even knowing there may be a problem, they must go.
After all, no one can be sure whether a criminal will choose to strike the bank at this moment.
But they have no idea.
All of this is within Xu Mo's calculations.
This is a Layered Plot.
Xu Mo's claim to rob the Cash Transport Vehicle was based on accurately counting that the Program Crew would be reluctant to spend funds and thus tip off the Investigation Team.
And the key is,
this Wolf Comes scheme is indeed Xu Mo's style.
The feint‑to‑the‑east‑and‑strike‑west method is something the Investigation Team knows all too well.
Not long ago they just suffered a loss once.
Xu Mo used the feint method, which allowed him to rescue Zhou Qiaoqiao from the Detention Center.
The same loss, one time is enough.
No matter what, they cannot suffer it a second time.
This time, they won't be fooled again!
Here, having just finished discussing the strategy against Xu Mo,
the door to Wang Ju's office was knocked.
"Please come in," Wang Ju said.
The next second, a police officer walked in.
He opened with a wry smile.
"Wang Ju, my seat hasn't even warmed up yet, and we've already received a bank alarm. I just checked the bank's surveillance; everything's normal. This time... should we still dispatch?"
His words hung in the air.
Wang Ju's face hardened.
"Are you saying we shouldn't dispatch just because it might be a fraud? What if real criminals try to exploit the opening? How does normal bank surveillance prove anything? Can't the bank's cameras be tampered with?"
Hearing that, the officer nodded, "Understood! I'm heading out with the team right now."
…
This time, the officer still came up empty.
They were fooled by Xu Mo again.
One of the officers.
His anger made his teeth ache.
With a hard heart he said, "I damn will just stay at the bank entrance and not leave! You all go back; if another alarm comes in, call me. As soon as I get the call I'll go in and take a look—if it's nothing, you don't need to come."
He plans to just stand at the bank entrance.
So that, when another alarm is received,
there's no need to trouble everyone to run over.
Just need to go into the bank for a glance to know whether anyone is robbing it.
Xu Mo also looked through the outside surveillance of the bank.
He saw that stubborn figure in a police uniform.
"Is this guy just standing at the doorway refusing to leave? He's planning to go toe‑to‑toe with us," Zhou Qiaoqiao said.
Xu Mo just smiled.
"Whatever, let him stand if he wants; it just so happens I'm not planning to continue testing today."
Yang Jingxuan looked at Xu Mo with some confusion.
"Not testing? Why?"
Xu Mo pointed at the time on the computer: "It's time; the bank is closing, the tellers have left. At this hour, could the one‑click alarm button still be pressed by a ghost?"
……
The officer standing at the bank entrance.
He watched helplessly as the bank staff left one by one after work.
He was a bit bewildered.
He suddenly felt that his plan to stay at the bank entrance and go all‑out at this hour was somewhat ill‑considered.
The bank had closed, the main doors were shut tight, and there was no one inside.
What meaning could there be in him staying at the doorway to guard?
If an alarm came at this time, it should be clear it wasn't the tellers who pressed the button.
Moreover, he didn't think any robber would be foolish enough to rob a bank after its doors were locked.
The bank is empty; what would they be robbing?
The money is in the Bank Vault; with no staff, does that robber even have the skill to open the Bank Vault?
After squatting at the bank entrance and taking a drag of stale smoke,
the officer muttered curses and left.
……
Night fell.
The inn.
If we talk about the inn's hardware facilities, they really aren't great.
The soundproofing is so poor it can't get any worse.
Especially at night.
During the noisy daytime, the poor soundproofing hadn't shown up yet.
But once night falls and it's quiet,
the inn's bad soundproofing becomes fully evident.
The sounds of the young couple living next door.
Pierced through the wall into Xu Mo's ears.
"Babe, I'm here!"
"…Did you come in?"
"?? I'm already done!"
Xu Mo: "……"
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "……"
Yang Jingxuan: "……"
Separated by the wall, they could all sense the guy next door's awkwardness.
