Chapter 254: On the Day of Reporting, He Snagged a Wanted Criminal

After realizing that Xu Mo was a cop.

The man first glanced at the cabin door and saw that the aircraft's door hadn't opened yet.

Running out of the plane through the door was now impossible.

But he instantly thought of another method.

He swiftly grabbed the Flight Attendant, who was about to intervene, by the collar.

"Raise your hands and step back, or I'll kill her!"

He didn't dare to directly clash with Xu Mo, because Xu Mo was a police officer.

He was afraid Xu Mo had a gun!

The online claims about guns being faster beyond seven steps and swords being faster within seven steps are all false.

In reality, beyond seven steps the gun is fast, and within seven steps the gun is both fast and accurate!

As an unarmed Escapee, how could he dare to go against an armed police officer?

He immediately took a hostage, forcing Xu Mo to raise his hands and step back, precisely because he feared Xu Mo had a gun.

However, he underestimated Xu Mo's speed.

Just as he reached out to seize the Flight Attendant's collar, before he could make the next move,

Xu Mo's slap landed.

He gave him a hard slap right away!

That slap was delivered with considerable force by Xu Mo.

It even caused the man a brief ringing in his ears and a buzzing in his head.

For a moment he couldn't tell east from west.

The next second, Xu Mo stepped forward, subduing the man and pinning him hard onto the seat.

He then looked at the Flight Attendant beside him, whose face had turned a bit pale from fright.

"Are you okay?"

The Flight Attendant shook her head blankly.

"Could you get me a sturdier rope, or Tape would do," Xu Mo continued.

He didn't have Handcuffs.

He also didn't want to knock this guy out and carry him away; after all, lugging a person to the Police Station… would be too tiring!

So he could only find something to bind him with and then take him to the Police Station.

"Okay, okay, fine…" the unsettled Flight Attendant quickly nodded.

Soon, she fetched a roll of Transparent Tape.

"Help me tie his hands," Xu Mo said, his both hands occupied, leaving no free hand, so he asked the Flight Attendant for help.

The Flight Attendant hesitated to act for a moment.

At that moment, Li Jiaxin came over, took the Tape from the Flight Attendant's hand, and said, "I'll do it."

After speaking, she used the Tape to bind the man's hands for Xu Mo.

She had also heard the earlier conversation between Zhou Qiaoqiao and Xu Mo.

Knowing the man Xu Mo was grabbing was a Wanted Status criminal, she helped bind him without asking why.

During the process of being bound with Tape, the man struggled fiercely.

He knew what it meant to be caught by a police officer.

For the crimes he committed, even a single peanut couldn't let him escape!

He didn't want to die.

But no matter how he struggled, even using all his strength, he couldn't break free from Xu Mo.

In the end, he couldn't escape his bound fate.

"Kid, I'd advise you to let me go, otherwise if I get away, you'll be the first I kill!" the man threatened.

"Run?" Xu Mo smiled, "Can you run? Just wait to get shot."

After that, he gave the man another hard slap, "Be honest with me!"

The scene came too suddenly.

So the passengers on the plane mostly hadn't figured out what was happening.

They didn't even know why Xu Mo suddenly grabbed someone.

After all, Xu Mo hadn't explained why he grabbed anyone.

Some guessed that the captured man was an Escapee, a fairly reasonable speculation.

But a small group with odd reasoning wondered… was the man caught because he had insulted Xu Mo earlier?

Could insulting a police officer count as Police Assault!?

Thinking that, they suddenly dared not meet Xu Mo's gaze.

They should know that many of them had just mocked Xu Mo as a coward.

They didn't know whether Xu Mo heard them… nor whether he would also arrest them because of it…

The aircraft cabin door opened.

Xu Mo escorted the man with his hands bound down the plane.

He dialed Han Fei's phone.

"Han Team, I've arrived at Baiyun Airport, preparing to report to the Police Station; send a car to pick me up at the airport,"

Han Fei on the other end was taken aback by this.

If it's at the airport, it's at the airport; if it's reporting, then it's reporting.

Can't you just take a car yourself?

And still send a car to the airport to pick you up?

Isn't that just asking for trouble!

And you should know, Criminal Investigation Team Leader Han Fei, when returning to Yangcheng, always takes a car himself to the Police Station, and no one comes to pick him up.

Xu Mo, a newcomer who hasn't even checked in yet, on what basis should a police car go to the airport to pick him up?

He didn't even think about it and refused on the spot.

"Just take a car yourself, and I would still send a car to pick you up... It's work hours, everyone's busy, who has time? Besides, aren't you from Yangcheng? You won't get lost, just come yourself."

"Fine, then never mind," Xu Mo said deliberately, "Sigh, I just captured a wanted criminal. I originally wanted you to take him to the Police Station for safety, but if you don't come, I'll take him myself; I just don't know if the wanted criminal might escape halfway."

His words had just ended.

Han Fei was stunned.

For a moment, the voice rose involuntarily by several pitches.

"What did you say? What did you catch? A wanted criminal!? You can't be joking!"

"I'm not joking. Why would I joke with you? He's named Zhang San, has been on the run for five years, I just happened to run into him and caught him on the spot... If you're busy, fine, I'll just take a car myself and bring him to the Police Station, okay?"

When Han Fei heard that Xu Mo had captured a five-year escapee wanted criminal, his attitude instantly flipped 180 degrees.

"No, no, no! How can I let you take a car? Taking a wanted criminal by car is so dangerous! If something happens halfway, it's bad. You... first keep him under control, absolutely don't let him run, I'll drive to the airport to pick you up right now!"

"Aren't you busy?" Xu Mo said deliberately.

"I'm free, I'm free. Who said I'm not free? Keep an eye on him and don't let him run. I'm heading out now; wait a bit, I'll be there quickly!"

Xu Mo smiled.

"Alright, I'll wait for you... But Han Team, I still like the unruly you from before, get back to that."

Han Fei: "..."

After finding a place and waiting a bit, Han Fei arrived by car.

Just as Xu Mo said, he indeed caught a person.

Han Fei is a long‑serving veteran police officer; he's seen plenty of wanted notices and the like.

He memorizes clearly what each wanted criminal looks like, so that one day on the street he can spot and capture them rather than let them continue to roam free.

Thus, Han Fei instantly recognized that the person Xu Mo had captured was a five‑year escapee wanted criminal named Zhang San!

The instant he saw this wanted criminal.

Han Fei smiled.

Xu Mo really is a lucky guy!

Without even reporting to the Police Station, he took part in a case and contributed to solving it.

On the day he reported to the Police Station, he also conveniently caught an escapee... What else could this be but a lucky guy!?
