Chapter 241: Has Xu Mo's Mouth Ever Been Enlightened?

Before making this call to Xu Mo.

Han Fei guessed that Xu Mo would reject him.

So he prepared many lines of argument.

Moreover, Han Fei had already decided that, even if it meant coaxing and deceiving, he must lure Xu Mo into the Police's ranks!

It was truly because the various methods Xu Mo had displayed during this period amazed him so much.

Someone like that cannot be left to his own devices; a way must be found to get him to join the Police.

After all, if Xu Mo were ever provoked and began to commit real crimes, it would certainly give those of us who are police officers a great headache.

What Han Fei didn't expect, however, was that...

All the many lines of argument he had prepared before making the call were completely unused.

He only asked Xu Mo at the start whether he was willing to join the Police and fight crime with them.

Xu Mo readily agreed.

Hearing that answer, Han Fei was a bit stunned.

"Ah? You… willing to join us?"

It should be noted that, in Han Fei's expectation, there was a high probability that Xu Mo would outright refuse his proposal.

After all, Xu Mo had earned, through his show, a fortune that many people could never attain in a lifetime.

For a salaried worker, after becoming suddenly rich, the likelihood of still wanting to go to work is undoubtedly very low.

"Willing, of course," Xu Mo smiled. "Serving the people! How could I not be willing?"

Come to think of it, Xu Mo hadn't expected Han Fei to throw an olive branch his way.

When you're really sleepy, someone will bring a pillow.

Whether to join the Police, does that even need to be asked?

He is, of course, willing!

After all, joining the Police means he can encounter cases that ordinary civilians never encounter, or even know about at all.

A police officer who can handle various cases has a far higher chance of encountering criminals than an ordinary civilian.

If you encounter a criminal, you can apprehend the criminal.

Apprehending criminals means receiving rewards!

Moreover, Xu Mo doesn't plan to lounge around all day after getting rich; even if Han Fei didn't throw this olive branch his way, he still intends to find something to do.

People, if they stay flat forever, will become useless.

"Han Team, when can I report to the Police Station? Any cases lately? I'm already eager to start solving cases!" Xu Mo exclaimed excitedly.

Han Fei: "???"

It always feels that Xu Mo's motives aren't pure!

But… Han Fei is too lazy to care about what Xu Mo's exact purpose is.

Never mind him; as long as Xu Mo is willing to join the Police, that's enough.

After a two‑second pause, Han Fei spoke.

"Where do you think there are so many cases for you to solve? Do you think you're Conan? Wherever you go, people just die… This is a Law-abiding Society; even a occasional petty thief is a big deal."

"Also," Han Fei continued, "being a police officer isn't open to just anyone; there's a threshold. So I applied upward and got you a special consultant position. Once you return to Yangcheng, we can process your employment, and then you can stay by my side, and I'll guide you."

"No cases? That's so unmotivating…" Xu Mo's tone was somewhat disappointed.

He even began to reconsider whether he should join the Police.

In detective TV dramas, various murder and kidnapping cases come one after another.

Who would have thought Han Fei would tell him there aren't that many cases for him to solve.

That's quite different from what he sees on TV!

He was still hoping to solve cases, catch people, and earn rewards.

No big cases, small ones are fine too; catching a petty thief, Xu Mo wouldn't mind.

"This damn, no cases at all—why would he join the Police?"

Before he could finish the sentence, Han Fei cut Xu Mo off.

"Hold on a moment, I've got a call. Let me take it, then we'll talk later,"

"Alright," Xu Mo replied.

After saying a word to Xu Mo, Han Fei hung up.

He answered the call that had just come in.

The call was from the Jiangcheng Police Bureau.

Right away it gave Han Fei a surprise—a major case!

It was a Throw Corpse case, and the killer's method was extremely brutal.

To prevent another victim, the higher-ups issued a death‑order, demanding the killer be brought to justice within a week.

Solving the case within a week is no small difficulty.

But there's no way around it; the order has already been given.

No matter how hard, the pressure must be borne and the work done.

The Jiangcheng Police, almost immediately, thought of Han Fei, the experienced Criminal Investigation Team Leader, and, believing that an extra pair of hands means extra strength, prepared to ask him to help investigate the case.

With Han Fei, the experienced Criminal Investigation Team Leader, assisting, the investigation speed might increase considerably.

"What did you say? A Throw Corpse case?" Han Fei's mind went blank for no reason.

He had just told Xu Mo that there weren't that many big cases to solve.

At most, it's just occasional petty thieves.

Who would have known… this just turned around and slapped me in the face, a major case has arrived!

Has Xu Mo finally opened his mouth??

So you just say whatever comes to mind?

"Right, the Throw Corpse case, the higher‑ups are pressing hard, demanding that the murderer be captured and brought to justice within a week, so I wanted to ask, Han Team, are you free? If you are, could you help?"

"I'm free, give me an address and I'll be there right away," Han Fei answered almost without thinking.

The program has wrapped up, the capture of Xu Mo is over, and Han Fei really does have free time now.

And he's more than willing to help with the investigation and such.

First, he's a police officer; investigating cases and arresting criminals are part of his duties.

Second, the Jiangcheng Police have asked him for assistance; can he just stand by?

To know, when he arrived in Jiangcheng and explained the situation to the Jiangcheng Police, they didn't hesitate to mobilize many idle officers to help him capture Xu Mo and other escapees.

Now that the Jiangcheng Police need his help, both logically and reasonably, he should lend a hand.

After learning from the Jiangcheng Police the location where the body was found, Han Fei prepared to set out with the remaining three members of the Investigation Team to help.

At that moment, Chen Ke offered Han Fei a suggestion.

"Han Team, why not bring Xu Mo along? Isn't he shouting about wanting to investigate the case?"

"Forget it," Han Fei shook his head. "He hasn't even started his job yet, and besides, the Throw Corpse scene might be too much for him; he just agreed to join, and if he's scared off, what will we do? Let's take it slow."

Seeing Han Fei refuse, Chen Ke immediately continued to persuade him.

"Han Team, I don't think Xu Mo is that fragile; if he were scared away, he wouldn't be Xu Mo. Moreover, this case gives you a chance to show him your professional ability, so he'll respect you, making it easier for you to lead him later. You know big cases aren't common; miss this one and the next won't come. If he goes to the Yangcheng Police Station and starts refusing your supervision every day… you might be willing to teach him but still can't succeed."

Hearing that, Han Fei instantly felt that Chen Ke's words did have some merit.

After a brief contemplation, he still called Xu Mo.

"You wanted to take part in solving the case, right? The Throw Corpse case just came up—interested? …Alright, I wasn't wrong about you. Give me the address; we're heading to the scene and will pick you up on the way."
