Chapter 262: Is This Even Human Speech?

Police Station.

"You successfully captured the escapee, and earned a reward—Hypnosis Technique."

The criminal was just taken into the Police Station, and the reward was already credited.

Xu Mo began to briefly study the usage of the Hypnosis Technique.

Meanwhile, the other officers performed an analysis on all the raw materials brought back from the Shao Kao Tan.

In the end, a large amount of powder ground from Red‑flower Plant shells was found in the barbecue ingredients.

Han Fei arrived at the Interrogation Room holding the analysis report.

He waved the analysis report in front of the Shao Kao Tan owner a couple of times, then opened it.

"This is the analysis result of your barbecue ingredients. Speak up, where did that stuff come from."

When he saw the analysis report, the Shao Kao Tan owner fell silent immediately.

With the report laid out before him, his continued sophistry was useless; he had to speak truthfully: "I grew it myself."

Han Fei continued, "How many did you grow in total?"

"Officer, I know I was wrong, I was greedy at the time, I..."

He was cut off by Han Fei before he could finish.

"Don't sidetrack the conversation, I asked how many you grew in total?"

"Four hundred ninety‑nine... Officer, I looked it up online; planting fewer than five hundred doesn't constitute a criminal case, only an administrative one, so you can only detain me for at most fifteen days..." the Shao Kao Tan owner said weakly.

Han Fei let out a cold laugh.

"What, you even looked it up? So you're a law‑knowing offender then?"

Xu Mo, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask.

"Only fifteen days? Isn't that punishment a bit too light?"

"Just planting for ornamental purposes can indeed only merit up to fifteen days..." Han Fei said, then shifted tone: "But deliberately adding it to food makes the crime much heavier; severe cases can lead to years of imprisonment."

Xu Mo nodded with satisfaction.

"That's about right... So, Han Team, the results are out, it's fine, I'll head back first."

"Alright, you may go back," Han Fei nodded.

Xu Mo turned and left the Interrogation Room.

He went to meet the four people waiting in the Da Ting.

After a dozen seconds, Han Fei suddenly seemed to recall something.

He also stepped out of the Interrogation Room to chase after Xu Mo.

Eventually, at the Da Ting, he saw Xu Mo still standing before the main gate.

"Xu Mo, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

"What is it, Han Team?"

"Don't drive that car to the Police Station tomorrow; it doesn't meet regulations—a three‑million‑plus vehicle... I know you have money, but outsiders don't know that; if they see it, they won't know how to think of our Police Station."

Before Xu Mo could speak, An Youyi, standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully.

"I think so too; you work at the Police Station, driving a three‑million luxury car is way too flashy. I just ordered a Cayenne today for commuting; how about we take turns? Mine is cheap."

Han Fei: "???"

Is this even human speech!?

Do you want to hear what you're saying??

Cayenne... cheap?

Not only Han Fei, Xu Mo also looked at An Youyi with a surprised expression.

That little girl probably doesn't even know how to write the characters for "cheap"...

A three‑million car is a luxury car, but a one‑million‑plus one doesn't count?

That's also a luxury car, damn it!

"Han Team, I only have that one car. If I'm not allowed to drive it, I'd have to buy another, which wastes money... Could you make an exception? Starting tomorrow I'll park the car in the parking lot on the east side of the Police Station and walk over, so no one will know I drive a luxury car to work."

Han Fei thought it over and felt Xu Mo's method... wasn't unreasonable, but it mainly forced Xu Mo to buy another car, which wasn't great.

However, just as he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered that Xu Mo owned a black Volkswagen; that car, at the start of the program, Xu Mo was still driving.

Is that called having only one car?

Thinking of that, Han Fei prepared to refuse Xu Mo's request.

"No, don't try to fool me; you still have a Volkswagen, don't think I don't know..."

"I already sold that car; now I only have one," Xu Mo, anticipating Han Fei's words, told a small lie.

That car Xu Mo hadn't managed to sell yet, but now he has a new car; who wants to drive an old car every day?

Immediately, without waiting for Han Fei to speak, he continued: "Alright, let's settle it like that. Thanks for understanding, Han Team! See you tomorrow!"

After speaking, he turned with the four people and left the Police Station, giving Han Fei no chance to respond.

Han Fei: "???"

"No, who told you that?"

"He hasn't agreed yet!"

But Han Fei reconsidered; if Xu Mo currently only has that one car, buying another just for commuting would indeed be wasteful.

According to Xu Mo, driving the car directly into the Police Station at work, instead of parking it in a nearby lot, is also a viable method.

So, let him handle it!

……

After dealing with the person just captured.

The many officers in the Police Station gathered together and started discussing Xu Mo again.

This Xu Mo seems to have something going on; it's only his first day, first he personally captured a Wanted Status suspect, then he, I, and Xiao Wang went after those two A San, and now he reported another one, meaning that in a single day he directly participated in three cases and solved them all.

He does have something; I think we really underestimated him…

Also, today a friend of mine in Jiangcheng told me that Xu Mo was also taken by Han Team there to take part in a case, and because of that case the Police Station there praised him to the heavens!

He also took part in a case in Jiangcheng? What exactly happened, tell us.

They say he discovered the key clue of that case; that's not all—he also conducted the interrogation alone. Supposedly the criminal was interrogated by officers in shifts all night without saying a word, even Han Team couldn't handle the criminal, but Xu Mo only used two sentences and got the criminal to confess everything.

Is it really that uncanny? A criminal that even Han Team couldn't crack, and Xu Mo managed it? Your friend must be lying to you…

I don't know the details; that's what he said. As for the specifics, I think we could go ask Han Team—they should know!
