Chapter 266: Is Xu Mo the

Han Fei was a bit puzzled.

Recently, this case suddenly increased!

He didn't know what's going on…

To know, including today, he's only been back in Yangcheng for two days.

No one knows that these two days he hasn't rested at all.

There were people operating excavators to dig up ATMs, some mixing something into barbecue supplies, and now there's even a bank robbery?

This crime rate… how does it keep climbing?

Moreover, all this seems to have happened after Xu Mo arrived at the Police Station…

Thinking that, Han Fei couldn't help but glance at Xu Mo.

He thought, "This kid can't have the legendary Conan condition, can he?"

Of course, Han Fei doesn't have time to ponder; he must get to the scene immediately, not a second to waste.

"Xu Mo, something's urgent, stop training for now, let's go together."

…

Meanwhile.

Bank.

"Hurry! I want the money! Hand over all the cash, or I'll stab him!" the irate robber was pressing a fruit knife against the lobby manager's neck, forcing the teller to fetch the money.

"I understand, please calm down, we'll get the money right away!" the teller said while soothing the robber and retrieving the cash.

At that moment, a short‑haired, black‑coated middle‑aged man in the bank raised his hands, standing opposite the robber, trying to negotiate.

He is the police's Negotiation Expert.

Coincidentally, when the robbery broke out, he happened to be inside the bank.

As a Negotiation Expert, he knows how to talk to the robber.

He also feels it necessary to step forward now, to save ordinary people from the flames!

Negotiating with robbers, he's very skilled at it.

As long as he declares his Negotiation Expert status, indicating he can act on behalf of the police, he can make the robber lower his guard, even possibly cause the robber to abandon thoughts of harming anyone.

"Sir, hello, I am…"

However, what the Negotiation Expert didn't expect was that the robber acted before he could finish speaking.

The robber instantly withdrew the knife from the lobby manager's neck, said nothing, and slashed the Negotiation Expert's chest.

"What the hell! Did I let you speak?"

Fortunately, the ribs protected him; the robber only cut once, not stabbing into the chest, so the wound didn't hit the heart or other organs.

Only the outer layer of skin and flesh was sliced open.

Of course, though there was no life‑threatening danger.

But bleeding and pain were inevitable.

Blood flowed quickly, soaking the Negotiation Expert's clothes in no time.

After losing a lot of blood, the Negotiation Expert's lips turned pale, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he soon went into shock, collapsing on the floor.

After slashing the Negotiation Expert, the robber immediately withdrew the bloodied knife, refocused it on the lobby manager's neck, and shouted.

"Don't think I won't kill anyone, hurry up and give me the money! Otherwise I'll kill you all!"

Seeing the robber so frantic, actually daring to talk about killing, the bank staff were terrified.

Even the more timid ones now had weak legs, unable to move.

The few remaining brave ones immediately carried the cash they had just taken out to outside the counter, placing it on the floor.

"Big Brother, the money's been taken out for you…"

"Pack it up, find something to pack it in! How the hell am I supposed to take it like this?" the robber roared.

Hearing that, the teller fetched a large travel bag and packed the money from the floor into it.

After filling it, he zipped it up: "It's packed."

The robber greedily licked his lips, eyeing the large travel bag filled with money on the floor.

"If you'd cooperated earlier, this wouldn't have been such a damn hassle."

After speaking, he immediately released the lobby manager and went to grab the travel bag on the floor.

He lifted the bag and prepared to run out.

But at that moment, a police car arrived.

Several police cars immediately blocked the bank's entrance, sealing it off.

Countless police officers disembarked from the cars.

At this time, the robber still couldn't get out of the bank doorway.

Seeing the police arrive, he instantly set the travel bag down, turned and continued holding the lobby manager hostage.

Running away was definitely impossible.

The police officers who rushed in to handle the robbery all surely had guns; if he went out now, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Holding the hostage and bargaining with the police is the optimal solution.

Anyway, that's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas…

The lobby manager, whose legs were still weak after being released, hadn't had time to run away before being taken hostage again.

Feeling the icy grip on his neck, he thought how miserable it was.

"Can't this Big Brother be someone else to hold hostage!"

"Why does he always keep staring at him!"

Outside the bank.

Han Fei had just stepped out of the police car when he heard the robber's voice from inside.

"All you cops out there, listen up; don't act rashly, or the knife in my hand isn't a harmless one!"

"We won't cause trouble, and you don't need to get worked up; we can talk. Whatever conditions you have for opening, we'll try to meet them, as long as you don't hurt anyone! How about we let a Negotiation Expert go in to hear your demands?" Han Fei shouted the same through the Megaphone, as a response to the robber.

"Hurry up, my patience is limited."

Hearing that, Han Fei pulled out his phone and began calling the Police's Negotiation Expert.

The result was that the call remained unanswered.

At that moment, a series of phone ringtones rang inside the bank…

Han Fei looked toward the bank and was stunned.

The Negotiation Expert he was looking for was lying in a pool of blood!

"What a coincidence, huh?"

Han Fei set the phone down, his face solemn.

"It's bad… the one lying on the ground is the Negotiation Expert; the robber stabbed the Negotiation Expert."

After thinking for two seconds, Han Fei decided to negotiate with the robber himself.

"I'll go in and talk to the robber; you wait outside."

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Ke objected: "No, Han Team, the robber's temperament is too volatile, it's dangerous; he's already injured someone, and there's no guarantee he'll refrain from any further reckless actions if you go in."

"It's fine, I'm confident, and you already said the robber is volatile; if I don't go in, he's even more likely to hurt someone again," Han Fei said.

He then turned his gaze to the Special Police Captain.

"Is the sniper in position?"

"In position."

"Alright, then it's up to you. I'm going in now; if the robber makes any further reckless move, open fire. We can't let him hurt anyone again."

"Fine…," the Special Police Captain agreed, then suddenly called out to Han Fei, "Wait!"

The reason was that a voice from the sniper came through the Wireless Earpiece.

The next second, the Special Police Captain looked at Han Fei: "The robber must have guessed we have a sniper; he's almost entirely crouched behind the hostage. This angle makes it hard to hit him, and we can't stop him from hurting anyone."

"Han Team, how about… let me try?" Xu Mo suddenly spoke from beside them.
