Chapter 201: This Must Be Xu Mo's Doing

Interrogation Room No. 1.

The Bald Man pushed the door open and entered.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your cooperation; we have roughly understood the situation, you may leave now."

He came to let Xu Mo go.

After all, Xu Mo truly has no suspicion.

He literally lacks any time to commit the crime.

Moreover, the Bald Man doesn't even think Xu Mo is capable of committing the crime.

Can a person who only watches cosplayer girls' skirts at conventions possibly have the ability to plan such a heinous museum theft?

Absolutely impossible!

Furthermore, Xu Mo is not from Sakura Country; he is from Dragon Country.

Detaining a completely unsuspected foreigner without evidence is obviously insufficient.

It could even cause unnecessary trouble.

……

After the Bald Man announced the release.

The officer immediately complied.

He escorted Xu Mo out of the interrogation room and took him to the outside of the Police Station.

The reason Xu Mo could be released so quickly

was mainly thanks to his having prepared a perfect alibi in advance.

Otherwise, his suspicion wouldn't be cleared even for a short while.

Compared to Xu Mo, the West Eight Country man in the next Interrogation Room No. 2 was considerably more unlucky.

He probably won't be able to get out anytime soon.

Because, in the Police's view, his suspicion is huge!

He repeatedly overturns his statements, his words are incoherent.

He was carrying a bag when he entered the museum yesterday.

Since entering the Police Station, he has acted extremely nervous…

These are all the doubts about him!

After taking a sip of water, Shenhu Yi returned to the interrogation room and began questioning the West Eight Country man named Cui Minlong.

"I'll give you one last chance: around eleven o'clock last night, where exactly were you? I hope you can answer truthfully."

"Officer, I really didn't do the museum thing!" Cui Minlong roared, "I was indeed wandering the red-light district last night; didn't I answer that several times already?"

Hearing this, Shenhu Yi sneered.

"Do you need me to help you recall? The first time I asked, you said you stayed in the hotel all night without going out; the second time, you said you were eating out…"

Before he could finish, Cui Minlong interrupted him.

"Yes, I admit, but the key is… I didn't know at first that you suspected me of the museum theft! It was you who didn't explain clearly; if you had clarified from the start, how could I dare to lie!"

Cui Minlong was on the verge of breaking down.

At the start of the interrogation, Shenhu Yi only asked where he was last night.

At that time, he had no sense of the seriousness.

He even thought he was discovered while wandering the red-light district himself.

So without thinking, he immediately fabricated a lie.

Actually, Cui Minlong's behavior wasn't odd at all.

After all, who would come forward and tell the officer they were in the red-light district last night?

Isn't that asking to be arrested?

But soon, he learned from Shenhu Yi.

The Police didn't summon him because they discovered his red-light district visit.

It was because they suspected him of the museum theft.

Wandering the red-light district is illegal as well.

But that level of illegality can't compare to stealing from a museum!

He wasn't stupid, so he gave a detailed account of his red-light district activities last night.

But what he didn't expect was.

Shenhu Yi no longer believed him…

He even grew more suspicious of him because of his repeated contradictions and incoherent statements.

At this point, Cui Minlong desperately wished to be charged with the red-light district offense.

He would accept being seized outright; any punishment would be fine with him.

As long as they don't pin the massive museum theft on him, that's all he asks.

"Officer, I truly have nothing to do with the museum case! I'm innocent! I really didn't lie to you; I was indeed in the red-light district last night… If you don't believe me, you can ask the madam who took my money last night; she can testify for me!"

"I asked around," Shenhu Yi stared at Cui Minlong and said, "That madam said she has no recollection of you. Leniency for Confession, Severity for Resistance."

Cui Minlong: "???"

The museum theft has nothing to do with him at all.

What kind of confession is that?

He has no idea what he should confess!

……

At this point, the museum theft case had already become a hot, uproarious scandal.

The four members of the Investigation Team also learned the news.

Han Fei was completely stunned.

It was Xu Mo after all.

This kid really is a born criminal.

He's the kind that Heaven itself rewards with a feast!

He's only been here a few days?

First the Jin Country Divine Toilet caught fire, and then all the museum's collections were completely stolen.

Although the news said the Jin Country Divine Toilet arson was committed by two people from West Eight Country.

Han Fei still thought this matter was linked to Xu Mo!

Because it was just too coincidental.

Xu Mo had just set foot in Sakura Country.

And right after, the Jin Country Divine Toilet went up in flames.

He finds it hard to believe this had nothing to do with Xu Mo at all.

As for the museum theft case…

Han Fei believes this must have been done by Xu Mo.

Because the museum was emptied, every single item stolen, it is clearly Xu Mo's handiwork!

Not to mention whether other thieves have such nerve, but aside from Xu Mo, who could loot hundreds of museum items in half an hour?

…

Because they had the experience of being shortchanged last time.

This time, the four members of the Investigation Team did not foolishly stake out the hotel entrance, as that would be too obvious.

Xu Mo would notice, and he would certainly call security to disgust them!

The Investigation Team also couldn't confront the hotel security on the street, as that might bring unnecessary trouble.

This time, the Investigation Team rented a car and simply sat inside, staking out without any other action.

They didn't even intend to stop Xu Mo's crime at all.

Because they only wanted to catch Xu Mo when he entered or left the hotel and bring him back to the country, nothing more.

Anyway, whatever Xu Mo does here is none of their business.

This isn't even in the country.

He can do whatever he wants!

Even if he were to poke a hole through the sky, the Investigation Team wouldn't stop him.

…

After leaving the Police Station, Xu Mo took the subway straight back to a subway station near the hotel.

His Anti-Surveillance Ability is very strong.

So that before he even reached the hotel entrance, Xu Mo spotted the four members of the Investigation Team sitting in the car waiting for him.

After spotting the Investigation Team, Xu Mo immediately turned around and headed in the exact opposite direction from the hotel.

"Want to run? Gotcha!" Han Fei flung open the car door and gave chase.

In the bustling downtown, chasing someone by car is clearly unwise.

On the contrary, pursuing on foot is the better choice.

Han Fei also knew this, so he didn't intend to chase Xu Mo by car.

Xu Mo was intimately familiar with every road here; if he wanted, he could easily shake off the Investigation Team.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he kept giving the Investigation Team hope.

Every time he was about to lose the Investigation Team,

he would deliberately slow his pace, exposing a flaw so the four wouldn't completely lose him…
