Chapter 258: Xu Mo Uses This Car for His Commute?
Police Station.
Seeing Xu Mo and the others return with the people so quickly, Han Fei was startled.
"That fast, huh? And they're two international friends—sure it was them who did it... If we got it wrong, the consequences could be bad."
"Confirmed, the criminal and the loot were secured, and on the way back I asked them; they had already confessed," Xu Mo nodded.
"Alright then... Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, you two take these two foreigners for a statement," Han Fei assigned the interrogation to the two other officers who had joined Xu Mo on the capture mission.
He then looked at Xu Mo: "Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Han Fei turned with Xu Mo and walked into his office.
…
In the Interrogation Room.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang were grimacing as they took statements from the two A San.
It is worth mentioning that A San, besides Hindi, also knows English.
However, their English carries a strong curry flavor…
As for Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, whose English they use for the statements, it can only be described as passable, just barely sufficient.
If the other party's pronunciation is standard, they can understand.
But if the pronunciation is non‑standard, it becomes very difficult.
Ten minutes later.
Xiao Wang broke down.
"I really can't take it anymore; whatever he's saying… I can only grasp half of each sentence, the other half I have to guess. Let Xu Mo handle it, then."
"We should've called Xu Mo earlier; talking to this A San is pure torture!"
"Hold on, I'll go ask Han Team for backup."
Having said that, Xiao Wang immediately left the Interrogation Room.
He arrived at Han Fei's office, didn't knock, and just pushed the door open.
At that moment, Han Fei was discussing some regulations with Xu Mo.
Since Xu Mo had never taken the relevant exams, it was normal he didn't know certain things; Han Fei was briefing him on that knowledge.
"What are you doing?" Seeing Xiao Wang barge in without knocking, Han Fei looked annoyed: "Knock, knock, knock—how many times do I have to tell you to follow some protocol?"
"Alright, Han Team, next time for sure," Xiao Wang nodded.
Han Fei: "..."
"Again, 'next time for sure'—when exactly did you knock?"
Rolling his eyes, Han Fei didn't bother to argue further and, in a sour tone, said: "What do you want from me? Speak."
"Han Team, could we borrow Xu Mo for a while?"
"Borrow Xu Mo? What do you need him for?"
"Those two A San speak English we barely understand; the curry flavor is too strong. Han Team, you know our English is half‑baked, and A San's pronunciation is completely different from what we've learned. I truly can't make sense of it."
Hearing that, Han Fei turned and gave Xu Mo an inquisitive look.
"You said earlier you chatted with them in the car; you can understand what those two are saying, right?"
Xu Mo nodded: "Yes."
Han Fei continued.
"Then go over there; I was just about to finish what I needed to tell you."
…
Xu Mo followed Xiao Wang into the Interrogation Room.
After his arrival, the interrogation progressed noticeably faster.
After all, Xu Mo has the System Reward skill "Language Master."
Whether it's English with a heavy curry flavor or Hindi, he can understand it.
In less than ten minutes, he helped the officers finish one A San's statement.
He then moved to the adjacent Interrogation Room.
This one was another A San currently being interrogated.
The two were interrogated separately because they feared the pair might conceal crimes when questioned together.
Separate interrogations eliminate that concern.
After all, if their accounts differ, an experienced officer can spot the discrepancy at a glance.
With Xu Mo's help, another ten minutes later the second A San's statement was completed.
From the statements, the two recounted almost identical details.
They are friends.
Digging up the ATM was initially a spontaneous idea.
But once the idea emerged, it became unstoppable.
The two instantly agreed and acted without hesitation.
The excavator was stolen from a nearby construction site; they took it while the workers were eating, then headed straight to a relatively remote 24‑hour self‑service bank.
One handled the lookout, the other operated the excavator to dig out the ATM.
They then quickly drove the excavator to transport the ATM away from the scene.
…
"You successfully captured the Escapee and earned a reward—Luxury Villa ×1!"
A system notification sound rang.
In Xu Mo's mind appeared the location of the villa awarded by the System Reward, as well as the password for the villa's main door lock.
This reward…
Xu Mo thought the system was quite good at stirring things up.
He had just finished the "escape", then returned to Yangcheng, and the system promptly arranged both the luxury car and villa for him.
At that moment, Xiao Wang beside Xu Mo smiled and looked at him.
"Thanks, Xu Mo. If you couldn't understand what those two were saying, we wouldn't know how much effort we'd have to put in."
"What's there to be polite about." Xu Mo waved his hand: "We're all from the same department, family."
"Exactly, exactly, family!"
At this moment, Xiao Wang's opinion of Xu Mo quietly changed.
He suddenly felt that Xu Mo wasn't as terrible as everyone had been discussing.
At least, Xu Mo still had some strengths.
For example, Xu Mo's language talent is not bad, and his physical fitness is also okay.
Moreover, Xu Mo's personality is also quite likable, and getting along with him is rather comfortable.
……
4:30 p. m.
Xu Mo had the towing company bring the RS7 from Jiangcheng to Yangcheng ahead of time.
The master helped unload the car at the Police Station entrance.
Xu Mo drove the car into the Police Station's dedicated parking spot.
The remaining officers stared, dumbfounded.
"Holy shit…… an RS7, this car must cost over a million? Xu Mo drives this car to work?"
"What over a million? You're talking about the base price; this car starts at two million."
"You're also wrong; it can't be as low as two million. This is the ABT package top-spec deluxe version; picking it up incurs extra charges, plus luxury tax, purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, insurance, etc., so the on-the-road price is at least three million."
"Three million!? Isn't that too extravagant? Him driving this car to work…… might be against regulations."
……
5:00
Off-work time has arrived.
Although officers sometimes work overtime heavily, this only happens when there is a case.
When there is no security check for Xu Mo to handle, commuting remains punctual: start at 8:30 a. m., finish at 5:00 p. m.
Xu Mo simply tidied up and then prepared to leave.
His car was parked right next to Han Fei's car.
When Han Fei came out, he happened to see Xu Mo get into his car and drive off.
Seeing that Xu Mo was driving a luxury car worth two to three million, Han Fei was completely dumbfounded.
Just after finishing telling Xu Mo the regulations…… Xu Mo turned around and drove off in an RS7, preparing to get off work and go home!?
In other words, Xu Mo didn't absorb a single word of what he said, huh??
Driving this car in and out of the Police Station, letting others see it, who knows how they'll judge their Police Station!
Thinking this, Han Fei decided to nag Xu Mo a few more words when he comes to work tomorrow.
It would be best to persuade Xu Mo to switch cars; otherwise the impact would be too bad!
