Chapter 165: Xu Mo Who Doesn't Play by the Rules

Although they haven't entered the house to search yet.

But Han Fei can now basically confirm one thing.

That is… Xu Mo is not in this villa right now.

He has already fled.

What the Police have surrounded, of course, is not Xu Mo.

It's a bunch of ducks!

After being busy for most of the day, Han Fei finally led the officers to surround a pile of toy ducks…

At this moment, Han Fei can only describe his mood as miserable.

The viral repeating ducks keep echoing Han Fei's sentence.

Han Fei doesn't intend to keep listening.

Instead, he tells the officers accompanying him, "Go inside and have a look."

Although he can basically confirm that Xu Mo is no longer in this villa.

Even though he already has a rough answer in his mind.

But after so many overt and covert moves with Xu Mo.

In Han Fei's world, the word "absolute" gradually disappears.

Nothing is absolute.

What if…

What if Xu Mo used these toy ducks merely as a smokescreen, and he himself counted on Han Fei getting angry at the ducks, turning away, and then hid inside the villa?

The officers did as Han Fei said.

Without a word, they walked straight into the villa.

Preparing to conduct a thorough search.

As they entered, one officer couldn't help but kick the noisy repeating ducks, shouting, "Go nn, you're hurting my brain!"

So the repeating ducks began to repeat that line.

"Go nn, you're hurting my brain!"

"Go nn, you're hurting my brain!"

"..."

The officers: "..."

Leaving aside everything else.

Xu Mo, that damn guy, is truly the most manipulative person they've encountered in their careers!

After passing the repeating ducks and entering the villa.

The officers also found the missing Xiao Zhang.

At this moment, Xiao Zhang has a "Dead" character written on his forehead.

His body is also wrapped in large Transparent Tape.

Xiao Zhang is tied up with thick rope, leaning beside the TV cabinet opposite the sofa.

The TV cabinet is not directly opposite the main door.

Thus, before the officers entered, they hadn't seen the rope‑bound Xiao Zhang; they only saw him after stepping inside.

Upon seeing Xiao Zhang, one officer immediately reported the situation to Han Fei outside the door.

"Han Team, we've found Xiao Zhang!"

Only then did they continue to search the villa meticulously.

Hearing that, Han Fei immediately walked in.

He approached Xiao Zhang.

He observed carefully.

After finding no obvious wounds on Xiao Zhang, he relaxed.

The intermittent duck quacks in the villa woke the Xiao Zhang who had been knocked out by Xu Mo.

He opened his eyes with a bewildered expression.

After seeing Han Fei and his group.

A look of guilt appeared on Xiao Zhang's face.

"Sorry, Han Team, I… I couldn't complete the task you assigned."

"It's fine, Xu Mo is hard to deal with, I understand," Han Fei comforted him.

Then, Han Fei began tearing off the Transparent Tape wrapped around Xiao Zhang.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhang seemed to recall something, looking at Han Fei with an excited expression.

"Han Team, I have an important clue to report to you!"

However, he stopped halfway.

He suddenly remembered.

He is already a "dead person".

So he abruptly stopped speaking.

Han Fei also said he could understand Xiao Zhang's behavior.

You have to follow the game rules, right?

At that moment, the officers Han Fei had sent out to search the villa returned one after another.

"Han Team, we've thoroughly searched the villa and didn't find Xu Mo."

"Hmm." Han Fei nodded, saying nothing more.

He had already guessed this outcome before.

It's just that Xu Mo was too cunning.

Even though he had long guessed the result, he still had to search the villa once before feeling at ease.

He paused, and Han Fei slowly stood up.

"Disband the team."

Han Fei quickly gathered his thoughts.

His earlier speculation was correct.

Xu Mo was indeed hiding in one of the three addresses.

This point has now been confirmed.

They couldn't catch Xu Mo only because his Anti‑Surveillance Ability was too strong; he was so sharp that even undercover police officers couldn't evade his sight.

From the current situation,

Xu Mo probably left the villa after seeing through Xiao Zhang's identity.

The key issue now is how Xu Mo left the villa.

Only after clarifying this can they devise the next capture plan.

This is also the most puzzling part for Han Fei.

All vehicles under An Youyi's name are under Police surveillance.

The cars haven't moved, indicating Xu Mo didn't drive away.

By Eleven Road?

That's even more impossible.

Walking is slow, and the target is large; a group of four women and one man makes it hard for anyone on the road not to notice.

Escaping by bus or subway is the same—troublesome and conspicuous.

He believes Xu Mo wouldn't choose such a foolish mode of travel.

The most likely way Xu Mo would choose is still to drive.

But… he has no car to drive!

Suddenly, Han Fei thought of a possibility and sharply turned his head toward Xiao Zhang nearby.

Xu Mo actually does have a car he can drive.

An Youyi's car can't be driven, but Xiao Zhang's car can.

This must be the important clue Xiao Zhang had been about to mention but didn't.

After this idea emerged,

Han Fei immediately asked, "Did Xu Mo take your car keys?"

Xiao Zhang stared at Han Fei with an awkward expression.

"Han Team, this doesn't follow the rules, right? I'm already 'sacrificed'; the dead can't speak."

Han Fei: "…"

He sighed helplessly.

Han Fei pointed at Xiao Zhang and told the nearby police officer, "Perform a post‑mortem, search his body, see if he has any car keys."

Xiao Zhang, stunned: "…"

What does it feel like to autopsy a living person?

The officer felt around all of Xiao Zhang's pockets, then nodded at Han Fei.

"Han Team, the car keys are indeed missing."

Hearing this, Han Fei instantly got an idea.

Since Xu Mo drove away in Xiao Zhang's car,

that makes it easy.

Directly locate it!

Even if they can't find Xu Mo's exact location, they can provide a rough direction.

"Check where Xiao Zhang's car is now!"

The officer complied.

He made a call to a colleague at the Police Station.

In no time, the query results came back.

However, this result wasn't what Han Fei expected; it couldn't give him a direction to pursue.

Instead, it made him even more confused.

Because…

Xiao Zhang's car is parked near Lvcheng Jiangnanli!

Xu Mo didn't drive his car away.

Han Fei scratched his head, very puzzled.

"It wasn't to drive away… then why did he take the car keys?"

Not only Han Fei, but Xiao Zhang was also at a loss.

The crucial clue he wanted to tell Han Fei earlier was that Xu Mo took his car keys.

As long as they follow this clue, they should be able to uncover something.

But later he thought of himself as a "dead person" and didn't reveal the clue.

Instead, it made Han Fei think for himself.

Now Han Fei has thought of it and is also preparing to follow this clue further.

As a result, Xu Mo didn't play by the usual pattern at all.

What does it mean to take the car keys but not drive the car?

Wasn't Xu Mo taking his car keys in order to drive his car and flee?
