Chapter 252: Want to Be a Bounty Hunter?

~7 min read 1,264 words

"What's going on?" Xu Mo muttered to himself as he looked at the security guard whose behavior was very strange.

He ignored the guard, turned with a puzzled expression, and walked back toward the front desk.

"Hello, I still need the 888 private room; please clean it again, and for the dishes, just make them the same as the three tables in front."

"Alright, sir."

The receptionist smiled and responded.

Her thoughts differed from the guard at the door.

Although she also thought Xu Mo was quite impressive for juggling so many relationships at once, she felt he was also a scoundrel.

Scoundrelous to the heavens!

One person, and he actually had four girlfriends?

And they had all already reached the point of meeting the parents?

And the most critical part.

This guy is even damn bold enough to meet different girlfriends' parents consecutively in the same hotel, in the same private room!?

A true master of time management...

Having the three prior practical experiences.

Xu Mo's application of psychology was even masterful.

Especially when chatting with the parents.

So that, helping to fool Li Jiaxin's parents, took only half an hour.

Finally, under the guard's extremely envious gaze, he left the hotel.

Meanwhile.

Police Station.

"Xu Mo got this tough guy to confess with just two sentences?" Wang Dui looked at Han Fei with a bewildered expression.

"Yes, two sentences, plus a slap," Han Fei nodded.

After speaking, he added, "I saw it with my own eyes; I was standing outside the one‑way glass beside the Interrogation Room, watching."

Although this sounds a bit far‑fetched, the fact is, it really happened!

Xu Mo's interrogation indeed used only two sentences.

The first: "Did you kill the person? Speak the truth!"

The second: "I'm damn asking you a question, why are you sleeping?"

Then the suspect freely confessed to his crimes.

The murder motive, the process, and everything else were explained clearly.

Wang Dui scratched his head, his expression full of confusion.

"This is messed up... this kid is unbelievably stubborn; we spent an entire night asking and couldn't get it, yet Xu Mo extracted it with just two sentences?"

Han Fei reached out and lightly patted Wang Dui on the shoulder.

"Stop getting tangled in these trivialities; in short, the suspect's confession is a good thing. Once he admits guilt, we can convict him."

"Indeed," Wang Dui nodded. "This time, thanks to Han Team bringing people to help; otherwise we wouldn't have been able to solve the case within a week."

As soon as the words finished, Wang Dui smiled again at Han Fei, his face even showing a hint of envy.

"This Xu Mo is no ordinary guy, Han Team; you've really hit the jackpot."

Come to think of it, although Xu Mo didn't display particularly impressive investigative skills this time.

But the crucial clue—the easily overlooked hair in the second victim's bathroom—was indeed discovered by Xu Mo.

Had Xu Mo not been sharp‑eyed, they might have had to expend considerable effort to identify the suspect.

Not to mention, this stubborn suspect was only dealt with because Xu Mo stepped in.

If Xu Mo hadn't been there.

By the time they were supposed to release him, they would still have gotten nothing and would have had to temporarily let him go according to regulations.

Hearing Wang Dui say he had hit a treasure, Han Fei merely smiled.

Actually, Wang Dui didn't even need to say that.

Han Fei, of course, knew he had hit a treasure!

Even without this case, Han Fei would think the same.

After all, the many outstanding qualities Xu Mo displayed on the program are all his shining points.

The Throw Corpse case came to a halt.

Han Fei and the others no longer needed to stay in Jiangcheng.

After greeting the Jiangcheng Police, they bought tickets back to Yangcheng that same day, preparing to head home.

As for Xu Mo.

He stayed in Jiangcheng for another two days.

After having his fill of fun, he finally bought a ticket to return to Yangcheng.

Of course, before leaving, Xu Mo arranged for a tow truck to transport the rs7 that the System Reward had given him back to Yangcheng.

On the plane.

After Xu Mo boarded.

He connected to the plane's Wi‑Fi, logged onto an official website, and began browsing the officially released wanted‑person list.

Xu Mo looks at the wanted criminal list because he knows that cases certainly can't happen every day.

But there are still quite a few wanted criminals who haven't been caught yet!

Just for fun, looking at the official bounty notices and memorizing the appearances of these wanted criminals is surely useful.

You never know, maybe luck will have you bump into a wanted criminal on the street… delighted!

I'm actually looking at them right now.

Zhou Qiaoqiao, who was sitting in the seat next to Xu Mo, leaned over and said.

"What are you looking at these things for? Do you want to be a Bounty Hunter?"

Xu Mo was too lazy to explain much.

He simply nodded: "Yeah, catching a wanted criminal can bring a reward of several hundred thousand, the money comes fast."

"The question is, can you actually catch them? A reward of several hundred thousand for catching a wanted criminal is nice, but look at how many years these people have been on the Bounty; if they were that easy to catch, they'd have been arrested long ago. I think we should skip it; these folks probably smuggled out of the country ages ago," Yang Jingxuan added from beside.

"I'm just looking at the Bounty; even if I don't catch anyone, it's not a loss, and what if I get lucky and run into one someday?" Xu Mo shrugged.

"There's no such thing as that kind of luck!" An Youyi interjected at that moment.

Xu Mo's face hardened.

"You all, can't you even tell who's the big joker and the little joker now? Is this the tone you should use when talking to me?"

After speaking, Xu Mo gave the others a malicious glance.

"Ladies, you probably don't want your families to know that all your boyfriends are me pretending, right?"

Yang Jingxuan: "???"

Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"

An Youyi: "???"

Li Jiaxin: "???"

The four of them followed Xu Mo to Yangcheng.

Mainly because Xu Mo had separately played the role of each of their boyfriends, deceiving their respective parents.

Now Xu Mo is heading back to Yangcheng, so they naturally have to come along.

Otherwise it would be hard to explain to the parents.

When it comes to dating, you have to be together; long‑distance relationships are nonsense.

If, because of this, they get suspected again or even directly exposed.

Then wouldn't they be forced into blind dates?

Blind dates are just too painful!

Of course they don't want to be forced into blind dates.

So they simply bought tickets on the same flight as Xu Mo and went to Yangcheng together.

Naturally, they had discussed this with Xu Mo beforehand.

It was only after Xu Mo agreed that they followed him to Yangcheng.

Xu Mo, following his "help to the end" mindset—"send the Buddha to the West"—didn't refuse, but gladly agreed.

After all, they're all friends; lending a hand is no big deal.

…

At this moment, the Flight Attendant was speaking to a passenger.

"Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please return to your seat and sit down, and refrain from moving around, okay?"

Following the voice, Xu Mo spotted a man wearing sunglasses…
