Chapter 158: The Dead Can't Speak

The swarming guests surged outward.

At first, the security guards tried to stop these guests who wanted to flee.

But soon they realized it was futile.

The guests went berserk and could not be stopped at all.

The problem was that there were far too many guests.

Relying only on a few guards to stop all the guests was like a fool's dream.

Seeing the chaotic scene before them.

Han Fei could now be 100% certain.

This was definitely the work of that kid Xu Mo.

The rumor that a girlfriend would be shot on the spot was definitely spread by Xu Mo.

His purpose was to leave amid the chaos.

"Xu Mo causing such a ruckus must be trying to blend into the crowd and escape, stopping everyone for individual checks!" Han Fei said to the Police.

Such large‑scale chaos cannot be quickly quelled and suppressed.

It cannot be solved with a few words.

The simplest method is to fire guns.

The Police also knew this.

So they all drew their sidearms and fired a shot into the sky.

Then they shouted in unison, "Everyone, stay quiet, remain where you are, do not move, and cooperate with our Police in carrying out the mission."

The harsh gunfire cracked through the quiet night sky.

It was different from what the Police had expected.

The gunfire did not calm the guests' frantic fleeing.

Instead, it made the situation even more chaotic.

This was mainly because the earlier scene was too chaotic.

Resulting in everyone not hearing the Police's announcement.

But they all, without exception, heard the gunshots.

Thus they formed a preconceived, mistaken notion.

At this moment, the guests were thinking...

The older brother's earlier words really turned out to be true.

Seeing this, it's truly a damn on‑the‑spot execution!

Otherwise, why would the Police carry guns?

Han Fei: "???"

He has not been in the profession for a short time.

He has even served as Criminal Investigation Team Leader.

One could say he has witnessed all kinds of scenes and endured all kinds of storms.

But he truly had never seen a scene like this!

Are these people all crazy?

Are they no longer afraid of guns?

He was slightly stunned.

Han Fei quickly fetched the loudspeaker attached to the police car.

"Everyone, don't panic. The rumor that a girlfriend would be shot on the spot is not that serious; it's a rumor spread by malicious people. We are here to capture the criminal, who is hidden among you. All you need to do now is cooperate with the Police and not run around. I guarantee that as long as you cooperate, the Police will definitely not harm you!"

He paused briefly, then Han Fei added another sentence, which was addressed both to the Police and to the chaotic crowd.

"Listen up, from now on anyone who moves erratically will be treated as a suspect and may be shot on sight!"

At first, people hadn't figured out the situation.

They only ran because they saw others running.

Now hearing Han Fei's explanation, most people finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood very calmly in place.

Of course, people dared not move, mainly because of Han Fei's latter words — move and you'll get shot.

Seeing the scene no longer as chaotic as at the start.

Han Fei also let out a deep breath.

He turned to the Police behind him and said, "Go and take everyone for individual checks. Xu Mo may have Disguised himself as someone else during this time, so… everyone here needs to be checked once more."

Hearing this, the Police moved forward.

Without makeup remover, they used their sleeves to wipe.

Anyone from whom a layer of powder could be wiped off might be the Disguised Xu Mo.

……

After a round of checks, they found no signs of makeup on anyone.

The Police gathered around Han Fei to report.

"Han Team, no suspicious individuals found."

"Same here, no suspicious personnel."

"Xu Mo not found."

"……"

Shen Man Ni, standing nearby, suddenly said to the Police, "It could also be a Human Skin Mask; Xu Mo's Disguise method is not limited to makeup."

"Right, check again, see if anyone is wearing a Human Skin Mask."

Upon saying that, Han Fei paused briefly and added a point.

"Also the club's staff must be inspected, none can be spared; Xu Mo might Disguise himself as anyone. Split a small squad to sweep the club and bring everyone out."

"Yes!" the officers said in unison.

Then they voluntarily divided into two teams.

One team stayed outside, continuing to check among those outside for anyone wearing a Human Skin Mask.

The other team entered the club, preparing to sweep it and clear everyone out.

Five minutes later.

A police officer hurriedly ran out of the club.

He jogged over to Han Fei.

He whispered to Han Fei.

"Han Team... something happened. The four people you left behind were knocked out and are lying in the corridor."

"Moreover, each of their foreheads has a 'Dead' character written on it."

Han Fei: "???"

What the hell is writing on the forehead?

And it's a 'Dead' character, damn it.

Does this mean Xu Mo 'killed' those four officers?

Han Fei could no longer contain his anger.

He prepared to go in and said, "Take me there."

Under the officers' guidance.

The four members of the Investigation Team, led by Han Fei, arrived beside the four knocked-out officers.

They saw the characters on the foreheads of the four officers who had collapsed.

Han Fei was numb.

Xu Mo is provoking!

The Water Friends in the Live Broadcast Room also saw this scene through the camera.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"6666666 can you still play like this?"

"Writing on the forehead is so slick, Xu Mo really has talent, damn!"

"Xu Mo's taunt is maxed out, the Investigation Team's faces shouldn't be able to stay composed, right?"

"How do you think Han Fei will explain to Wang Ju when he goes back? It's one thing that they borrowed several teams and didn't catch Xu Mo, but then let Xu Mo 'counter‑kill' four."

"Han Fei: Bad luck!"

"No... in the neighboring Live Broadcast Room I saw Xu Mo and Li Jiaxin's four separate early on, so did Xu Mo single‑handedly knock out those four officers??"

"WTF? Does Xu Mo have another hidden skill? Does he also know hand‑to‑hand combat?"

"Hard to say, Xu Mo's concealed clumsiness is evident to us all, who knows what abilities he truly hides?"

"..."

At that moment.

The hand of the knocked‑out officer Xiao Jiang lying on the ground suddenly moved.

It looks like he's about to wake up.

Han Fei immediately crouched.

He wanted to get some information from Xiao Jiang's mouth as he was about to wake.

The next second, Xiao Jiang slowly opened his eyes.

Han Fei was just about to question him, but Shen Manni interrupted from beside.

"Han Team... I suggest you don't try to get any information from his mouth."

Shen Manni pointed at the just‑awakened Xiao Jiang lying on the ground: "He's already dead; a 'dead person' doesn't speak. If you do this, the Water Friends will say we're cheating."

Hearing that, Han Fei gave a wry smile.

That was indeed his oversight.

He immediately abandoned the idea of questioning.

Hearing the two's conversation, the just‑woken Xiao Jiang was stunned.

"I'm dead???"
