Chapter 179: Was Director Wang Tied Up?
The officers' phones are all specially made.
They can use the police system at any time for precise tracking.
And even if the phone is turned off, it can still be located.
After a police officer fiddled with it, they found the location of Director Wang's phone.
"Han Team, we've pinpointed Director Wang's location!"
"Where?" Han Fei asked immediately.
"It's right inside the residential complex where Director Wang lives."
Hearing that, Han Fei instantly let out a sigh of relief.
"As long as it's in the complex..."
He knows the residential complex where Director Wang lives very well.
That place isn't accessible to just anyone.
And the guards in the complex aren't ordinary people either.
Since the location is the complex, it suggests Director Wang is most likely not in danger.
He probably just missed the call because he didn't see the phone.
Thinking that Director Wang may have simply missed the call.
He continued to look at the five female officers.
"Please recount the situation in detail. What did Xu Mo do?"
Han Fei really couldn't figure it out.
Why did Xu Mo risk being exposed and kicked by coming to the police station?
He doesn't believe Xu Mo came out of a malicious hobby, deliberately to write a few words on the wall to disgust people!
The female officers recalled what had happened.
"He first disguised himself as Director Wang to enter, diverted everyone, then closed the door, tore off the Human Skin Mask, handcuffed us... and then we lost track of him."
"That's all? He didn't do anything else?" Han Fei asked, puzzled.
That shouldn't be the case.
Was Xu Mo just idle with nothing to do?
"Unclear. After he handcuffed us, he went inside, not in the Da Ting. We don't know exactly what he did, but he stayed inside for quite a while—about an hour or so—before coming out."
"We kept trying to call you for help, but he took our phones and left them at the door. Our hands were cuffed, so we couldn't reach them."
Speaking of that, the female officer pointed at the few sheets of paper on the wall and stammered.
"Oh right, after he came out he found some paper, wrote a few words and stuck them on the wall. After that he left, re‑locked the main door, and said... he even said we should thank him. If he hadn't locked the door, some bad guys might have taken advantage of the opening..."
Han Fei: "???"
Preventing bad guys from taking advantage of the opening?
Does Xu Mo not even know who the bad guys are?
Besides, this is a police station.
Even if no one is inside, no bad guy would dare come in and cause trouble!
From the female officers' words.
Han Fei gathered a piece of information.
Xu Mo spent roughly an hour and a bit not in the Da Ting, but deep inside the police station.
"An hour or so? What did he do, steal something?" Li Chen said, a bit stunned.
Immediately after, he dismissed that thought himself.
"No way. There's nothing worth stealing in the police station—just some files and documents, nothing valuable. If he had the leisure, he'd rather steal elsewhere."
Li Chen wasn't wrong.
Files and documents are indeed very precious to the police.
But to ordinary people, they're practically useless!
Xu Mo certainly wasn't after those things.
"Wait, there's something other places really don't have..." Shen Manni said slowly, "A gun! If Xu Mo's target is a gun, then he could only come here."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned uneasy.
At that moment, Han Fei waved to the officer beside her.
"Check whether any guns are missing!"
As soon as the words finished, an officer headed straight for the armory.
After the check, if they find guns missing in the armory,
that would explain why Xu Mo risked coming to the police station.
But Han Fei still felt uneasy.
"It takes less than an hour to use a gun; at most a few minutes. He must have done something else. Check the surveillance; maybe it reveals something."
…
Ten minutes later.
The officer who went to inspect the armory returned.
Looking at Han Fei, he swallowed dryly and said slowly,
"Han Team... four guns are missing, three hundred Rubber Bullets, and a sniper rifle's infrared side scope!"
At first, Han Fei could hardly believe her ears.
"How many did he take? Three hundred!?"
The officer, his face mournful, nodded.
Just then.
Another officer who went to check the surveillance also returned.
He reported to Han Fei the clues he found in the surveillance.
"Han Team, the surveillance shows Xu Mo stayed in Wang Ju's office for an hour, then went to the armory, and after leaving the armory he left."
"He stayed in Wang Ju's office for an hour? What could he have gone there for?" Han Fei asked, puzzled, and walked toward Wang Ju's office.
At this moment, Han Fei thought Xu Mo went to Wang Ju's office also to get something.
But Han Fei couldn't figure out exactly what Xu Mo was after.
He arrived at Wang Ju's office.
The office was very tidy.
There was no trace of anyone having rummaged through it.
This left Han Fei unable to determine what Xu Mo was after.
After thinking, he took out his phone again, intending to call Wang Ju to ask what in Wang Ju's office might be worth Xu Mo's attention.
Unlike the previous attempts, this call was answered shortly after dialing.
As soon as the line connected, Han Fei immediately spoke.
"Hello, Lao Wang, why didn't you answer earlier? You gave me a scare; I thought…"
Unexpectedly, a stranger's voice on the other end cut off Han Fei.
"Sorry, I found this phone in the Ting Che Chang of a residential complex. Could you tell me who the owner is? I'll give it to the gate guard to return to them."
He heard that unfamiliar voice.
Han Fei was stunned.
"Picked up?"
Han Fei instinctively sensed something was off.
When the phone's location showed Wang Ju's device was in his own residential complex, Han Fei had breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Wang Ju couldn't have trouble there.
But now, it seems… hard to say.
Han Fei suddenly thought of something.
Xu Mo, being so cautious, would certainly not do anything too risky.
Since he dared to linger in the Police Station for over an hour without fear, it shows he was confident he wouldn't be exposed or uncovered!
Otherwise he would never have come.
So what does Xu Mo rely on? What gives him the confidence to stay in the Police Station for over an hour?
Isn't he afraid Wang Ju might suddenly show up at the Police Station, that they might meet there and be exposed?
He must be afraid.
Yet he still came!
What does that indicate?
It indicates that Wang Ju is in trouble! He couldn't be at the Police Station at the same time as Xu Mo.
Thus Xu Mo dared to be so reckless!
Han Fei suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
So… is Lao Wang tied up?
Or was he tied up in his own residential complex!?
How did Xu Mo manage that??
