Chapter 263: I

That night, the officers hounded Han Fei, asking him to recount the circumstances.

Having just finished the case and with nothing else to do, Han Fei simply began to tell the officers about what had happened.

From Xu Mo's "hit‑or‑miss" autopsy at the Throw Corpse scene that turned out correct, to Xu Mo finding a short hair at the second crime scene that the Forensic Inspection Section had missed, to Xu Mo coaxing a stubborn criminal into confessing each of his crimes with just two sentences.

Han Fei, in meticulous detail, recounted all the events.

The officers were dumbfounded.

Self‑taught forensic autopsy methods?

Two sentences that make a hard‑hearted criminal spill all his crimes?

How could that be possible?

Can you self‑learn autopsy? Can self‑study really make you proficient?

Moreover, interrogating a criminal requires skill; getting a confession with just two sentences—does that make sense?

So as soon as Han Fei finished speaking, the officers began to doubt him.

"Han Team, what you said is way too far‑fetched—are you serious…?"

"Exactly, it sounds like a joke. I can believe you found a hair at the crime scene that the Forensic Inspection Section missed—that's possible. But the autopsy and interrogation… how could that be?"

"…"

Han Fei completely understood the officers' thinking.

"To be honest, not only do you not believe it, I don't believe it myself either, but I saw it with my own eyes; that's the fact."

After speaking, Han Fei turned to Chen Ke and Li Chen beside him: "You two, is that right? You were there at the time, too."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Ke and Li Chen nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Han Fei shrugged at the officers.

"Whatever I said, fine—stop gossiping, disperse. The matter's settled, go home and rest early."

…

Next day.

Police Station.

As soon as Xu Mo entered, Wang Dachuan kindly stepped forward and put an arm around Xu Mo's shoulder.

"Hey, have you had breakfast?"

"I ate at home before coming," Xu Mo replied.

Wang Dachuan was one of the officers who carried out the capture mission with Xu Mo yesterday; the two A San were the ones they and another officer apprehended together.

"Alright then," Wang Dachuan smiled. "I'll take you to try something exciting. Han Team assigned me to teach you gun practice; our line of work is still dangerous, and for certain missions, we have to go out armed."

This is a training session specially arranged by Han Fei.

After all, a police officer can't afford not to know how to use a gun.

When carrying out certain hazardous missions, officers need to be equipped with firearms.

If they have a gun but can't use it, that's a big problem!

Of course, this training is only for Xu Mo.

The other officers are either graduates of the police academy or former military personnel, so they're all familiar with firearms.

But Xu Mo is different; he hasn't received any professional training.

At most, he only grabbed a few guns during a live broadcast and handled them for a short while.

He might not even know the structure of a gun.

It's still necessary to find someone to teach Xu Mo to get familiar with firearms.

Xu Mo was slightly stunned.

Gun practice?

This thing… he knows!

The System Reward that gave him a firearms master wasn't given for free.

Xu Mo is not only extremely familiar with all kinds of guns, but also possesses Absolute Gun Sense; his shooting technique can even rival a sniper's. Practicing with a gun is basically unnecessary.

After a brief daze, Xu Mo nodded, "Alright, where are we going to train?"

Even though his shooting skill is excellent and he's familiar with various firearms.

But it can't just be ungrounded, right?

Anyway, there has to be some reason.

Now Han Fei has specifically found someone to teach him gun practice, and that's a good opportunity.

Xu Mo can take advantage of this learning chance to legitimately "learn" how to use firearms!

Being taught and then hitting the mark every time is a completely different concept from hitting the mark every time without any instruction.

The former can be explained by an extraordinary innate talent; the latter would be a pure monster!

Moreover, gun technique is unlike autopsy or other skills.

Xu Mo can perform autopsies and even claims to have self‑studied, having read books on the subject.

Books are easy to buy, but guns aren't; you can't even find an excuse to get them.

Know that Xu Mo has only handled a real gun once so far, and the number of times he's actually fired one is negligible.

To outsiders, it's normal that Xu Mo can't use a gun; if he could, that would be the oddity.

…

Under Wang Dachuan's lead.

Xu Mo arrived at the shooting range inside the Police Station.

"When you fire later, put this on your ears; it protects the eardrum," Wang Dachuan said, picking up the headset earplugs on the table.

Xu Mo took the earplugs and nodded.

Then Wang Dachuan casually picked up a handgun and began his briefing to Xu Mo.

"Type 92 pistol, there are two versions: police and military. The one we use is the police version; the military Type 92 fires 5.8mm pointed bullets, while ours uses 9mm round‑nose bullets. The round‑nose has less penetration than the pointed, so its power is considerably lower than the military Type 92, but it's sufficient. This gun's magazine holds 15 rounds, and the bullet velocity is 350 meters per second…"

Wang Dachuan looked at Xu Mo while introducing the gun.

He knew that Xu Mo indeed excelled in other areas.

But shooting a gun, Xu Mo could never possibly know how!

When it comes to knowledge of firearms and shooting technique, Xu Mo is certainly severely lacking, one could even say he knows nothing at all.

On this point, Wang Dachuan felt he was far superior to Xu Mo, and his mind eased considerably.

He thought to himself, finally found something he's better at than Xu Mo; this is how a senior should mentor a newcomer!

So he grew more enthusiastic as he continued the introduction.

He looked quite animated, eyebrows flying, face expressive.

After a brief rundown of the Type 92 police pistol's specifications, he began to explain how to use the firearm.

"This is the safety. You must disengage the safety for the gun to fire; if the safety is on… see, the trigger won't pull. Remember this. When we issue guns for patrol, the firearm must stay with the safety engaged when not in use, otherwise it may discharge unintentionally."

Xu Mo nodded, indicating he understood.

Seeing this, Wang Dachuan continued.

"Chambering is done like this—pull back a bit. You should know this; TV dramas always show it that way. There's also ejecting; I'll demonstrate that too… pretty simple, right? Did you get it?"

"Got it," Xu Mo said, nodding.

"There's another gun on the table; pick it up and try chambering and ejecting," Wang Dachuan said, pointing to the other handgun already prepared on the table.

Xu Mo smoothly picked up the handgun on the table and performed both chambering and ejecting motions, his movements crisp and decisive.

Seeing this, Wang Dachuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, alright! That's it—chambering and ejecting are straightforward; you'll pick it up after one look. The hard part with a gun is aiming. Next, I'll teach you how to aim and shoot…"
