Chapter 236: Big Brother, Watch Out for Accidental Discharge

"Go faster!" Xu Mo urged after reporting his Wanted Status.

The taxi driver cleared his throat.

From the color and feel of the gun in Xu Mo's hand, it didn't look fake.

This damn thing is very likely a Real Weapon!

So… I really gave a ride to a wanted criminal!?

At that moment, the taxi driver really wanted to give himself a big b‑bag.

What the hell is this? Huh?

Just drive honestly, park at the destination and that's it.

And damn chat with people?

Now it's perfect: chatting up an armed wanted criminal, and he got himself kidnapped!

The Live Broadcast Room's Water Friends all laughed.

"Hahaha this driver, I'm dying of laughter, if his words weren't so terse Xu Mo probably wouldn't have tied him up."

"Wanted criminals traveling all over the country is so damn impressive, and they work all year round, Xu Mo's words make a lot of sense!"

"The driver's face turned white with fear, hahaha!"

"Stop laughing, do you know how much trauma a taxi driver's young mind gets from giving a ride to a wanted criminal?"

"..."

Meanwhile.

Han Fei was also leading the Police, rushing to the next place where the Escapee was hidden.

The two hid near Liangdao Street.

This is a relatively well‑known Snack Street.

Many shops on the street are internet‑celebrity check‑in spots, attracting many visitors.

Besides food lovers, there's also a school on this street.

So the foot traffic is considerable.

Moreover, both sides of the street retain many old low‑rise houses and a maze of narrow alleys.

Presumably the two Escapees chose to hide here because of the crowds and the complex terrain.

Surveillance shows the two Escapees slipped into a side alley.

After that they vanished.

Because the alley has almost no cameras, only the main road is well covered.

Hiding in an unmonitored alley seems smart, but it's actually self‑entangling.

As long as the Police block all exits and enlist a few locals to guide officers into the alley for a split search, they'll soon capture them.

On the way, Han Fei had already contacted the local police station and recruited some officers familiar with the alley.

…

Liangdao Street.

"The internet cafe ahead, stop," Xu Mo shouted to the taxi driver.

He stepped on the foot brake.

The driver gave a wry smile and turned to look at Xu Mo.

"Big Brother, let me go, I have elders above and children below… Rest assured, I know the rules, I promise not to call the Police, I'll pretend I never saw you today!"

"That won't do," Xu Mo said with a smile, shaking his head, "Get out of the car with me."

Saying that, he pulled the driver out of the car.

One hand around his shoulder, the other hand pressing the gun against the driver's lower back: "Don't try any tricks, or you'll know the consequences."

Feeling the pressure on his lower back, the driver immediately pledged he would never try any tricks.

"Big Brother, I promise not to try tricks, could you… could you lower the gun first, so it won't fire accidentally?"

Xu Mo ignored him.

The gun has a safety; without disengaging it, the gun can't fire at all.

Accidental discharge? Impossible.

He drew the gun merely to intimidate.

He forced the driver into an internet cafe and swiped his ID card to log onto a terminal.

Xu Mo didn't have Police resources; he couldn't seek help from the local station like Han Fei.

But he just thought of a method—locating the Escapee's phone!

However, this method has a prerequisite.

The prerequisite is that the Escapee's phone must stay in call mode for a while.

After booting up, Xu Mo performed some operations.

He retrieved the Escapee's detailed information.

First, he called the Escapee's father, posing as an insurance salesman, and chatted idly.

Then he used Hacker Technique to spoof the family's number and called the Escapee.

As soon as the call connected, Xu Mo spoke first.

Of course, while speaking, he also mimicked the father's voice.

"Hey, son, did you do something illegal? I heard the Police are after you?"

The Escapee on the other end was momentarily stunned, then quickly explained.

"No, Dad, how could I do anything illegal? The Police really caught me, but this is a …"

He hadn't finished explaining when he was interrupted.

"You rabbit brat, so everything they said was true, you're really on Police Wanted Status!?"

"It's not, Dad, it's not the way you think; I was caught by the Police because I took part in a…"

"You still argue? You've gotten clever, huh! Where are you now? Watch me go over and cut off your lackey!"

"Ah, Dad! It's really not the way you think, it's all fake! I'm just pretending to be an escapee!"

"Pretending to be an escapee? Why would you pretend to be that? Trying to land in a big prison!?"

"……"

Amid Xu Mo's messy interference.

What could have been cleared up with a single sentence was somehow dragged for a whole minute before it was finally explained.

And during that minute, Xu Mo successfully obtained the escapee's phone location.

Live Broadcast Room.

"Xiu Er, not only did you get the escapee's location, you also let people shout 'dad' that many times."

"This round, this round is called 'recognize the thief as father'!"

"Xu Mo, are you being bad, pretending to be someone else's dad to deceive people?"

"That big brother, after later realizing he shouted 'dad' at Xu Mo so many times, probably collapsed."

"……"

After obtaining this escapee's location, Xu Mo didn't intend to go capture them immediately.

He had just thought of using phone location to get the escapee's exact position.

He didn't expect this method to be quite useful!

Next, Xu Mo replicated the method, using the same approach to obtain the locations of the remaining two groups of escapees, and then captured them all at once.

In fact, the Police also have technology to lock onto a phone that's in a call.

However, this method isn't very practical.

Because most escapees know the Police have this capability; they simply don't answer strangers' calls, and even if they do, they hang up immediately upon sensing something off, to avoid being located.

Xu Mo finds this method useful because he can mimic the escapee's family members' voices.

This is a side function of the System Reward's Disguise technique.

Moreover, as long as he picks a good entry point in conversation and chats with the escapee for a short while, he can successfully locate them.

After busily working in the Internet cafe for a while.

Xu Mo obtained the locations of all escapees except himself.

After securing these locations, Xu Mo left the Internet cafe with the taxi driver.

He's ready to go capture them!

Of course, a small taxi can't seat that many people.

He needs a bigger vehicle.

Coincidentally, a delivery van was parked at the entrance of a nearby small shop, and its keys hadn't been removed.

Thanks to Big Brother for sending the van!
