Chapter 276: You came to make an arrest, and now you're looking for a date?

At first, Xu Mo was still thinking that identifying someone by their physique and gait could be off.

After all, it could be a coincidence; Sun Jian is definitely not that janitor.

Even if the probability is tiny, it doesn't rule out such a situation.

But with these shoes, Xu Mo could be sure they hadn't got the wrong person.

The body shape and gait could both be coincidences.

The shoes being the same could also be a coincidence.

Yet the combination of the two makes the chance of coincidence much smaller, almost none.

After changing shoes, Sun Jian looked at the group.

"All right, let's go."

"Let's go," Wang Dachuan nodded.

At that moment, a girl stepped out of the room—sweet‑faced, the kind of neighbor's little sister type, looking a bit listless.

"Brother, are you heading out again?"

"Yeah, a friend needs me for something," Sun Jian turned his head to glance at his sister: "We probably won't have dinner together; you order takeout yourself."

The girl glanced at Sun Jian, then at Xu Mo and the others, and obediently nodded.

"Alright, then come back early."

Wang Dachuan and another police officer didn't think anything was amiss about the scene.

But Xu Mo kept staring at Sun Jian's sister, with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing Xu Mo staring intently at the sister, Wang Dachuan quickly tugged at Xu Mo and whispered beside him.

"Stop looking; there's no way you should keep staring at a girl like that. You're damaging the image of our police officers!"

Xu Mo shrugged, said nothing, and turned away.

"If you're home alone, remember to lock the door," Sun Jian reminded before leaving.

"Mm."

At the elevator entrance.

"Is Mr. Sun's sister single?" Xu Mo suddenly asked Sun Jian.

Wang Dachuan: "???"

What's going on?

They're here to investigate a case, not to look for dates!

Xu Mo's behavior was really out of line.

Staring at the sister earlier was one thing.

Now directly asking if she has a boyfriend—how appropriate is that??

Yes, Sun Jian's sister is indeed quite pretty.

But there's no need to go that far!

It's worth noting that after Xu Mo asked the question, a flash of malice crossed Sun Jian's face.

"That shouldn't concern you, right?"

"Of course it doesn't," Xu Mo smiled. "Just asking casually."

Wang Dachuan immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

"Don't take it personally; my colleague was just asking casually, no other meaning. He's a talkative person."

After speaking, he gave Xu Mo a look, signaling him to stop speaking out of turn, lest it cause trouble.

Sun Jian ignored him.

Wang Dachuan gave an awkward smile and said nothing more.

He was thinking that Xu Mo's behavior shouldn't affect others' view of police officers.

The main point is that Xu Mo's approach was indeed inappropriate.

Going to someone's house to bring them to the Police Station for questioning, and he keeps staring at the sister—what's that about?

After looking, he even damn asks whether the sister has a boyfriend.

Is that something a police officer should do?

Even if you want a partner, you have to restrain yourself!

If it really doesn't work, tell him—helping arrange a match isn't impossible!

At this moment, Wang Dachuan was already thinking that after they return, he must go to Han Fei to file a complaint against Xu Mo.

He must have Han Fei scold Xu Mo a couple of times!

Next time, Xu Mo shouldn't behave like this while on duty.

The impact is indeed somewhat negative.

Because of that little incident, everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere became awkward for a while.

Then, at that moment, Xu Mo spoke again.

"Did Mr. Sun's sister just break up? She looks off—did she get dumped?"

Wang Dachuan: "???"

Again??

This is endless, huh!

So, if she's heartbroken, are you planning to step in?

Big Brother, we're here to take Sun Jian back for questioning, not to find you a date!

Why are you constantly asking off‑topic questions?

Does she have a boyfriend, or did she just break up? What does that have to do with you? What does it have to do with the case?

What the hell are you asking!

Any serious business now? Huh?

Hearing Xu Mo's words, Sun Jian glared at Xu Mo fiercely.

"What about my sister? Does that concern you? Stop having designs on my sister."

As soon as the words fell, the elevator doors opened with a "ding".

The few of them prepared to step into the elevator and go down.

Xu Mo continued, smiling.

"Sorry, that was out of line, but I can see that Mr. Sun must care a lot about your sister."

He then asked, half‑joking, half‑serious.

"If Mr. Sun's sister were hurt by a scumbag, would Mr. Sun kill for her?"

Sun Jian, who was about to step into the elevator, visibly froze at the words, his expression turning very unnatural.

This time, Sun Jian's facial change was striking.

So much so that, besides Xu Mo, two other officers also noticed Sun Jian's change of expression.

That expression was clearly problematic—bigly problematic!

Kill for his sister?

Wang Dachuan was shocked by Xu Mo's logic.

He gave Xu Mo a puzzled look.

Recalling the earlier events, Wang Dachuan's expression kept shifting.

Sun Jian has a sister, who is quite beautiful—her looks are the kind most men would like.

She is also young, looking very innocent—a girl who hasn't seen much of the world, easy to deceive.

Combine that with Xu Mo's earlier question about whether Sun Jian's sister had just broken up.

And the cold, fierce expression Sun Jian showed when Xu Mo mentioned his own sister.

Isn't that damn obvious?

Sister deceived by a scumbag, brother kills in revenge… that makes sense!

Sun Jian's pause just now shows he could really kill for his sister!

As an officer, Wang Dachuan knows that a police officer should think more, contemplate more, doubt more.

Whether it's right or not, even wild speculation is far better than not guessing at all.

In many cases, they investigate the case with no clue at all.

When there is no clear evidence in a murder case, they must suspect everyone around the victim.

Only by constantly proposing hypotheses, doubting, then confirming or refuting them one by one can they solve the case.

Xu Mo is awesome!

As a rookie, he actually has a broader line of thought than this veteran!

Thinking that, Wang Dachuan's gaze toward Xu Mo had completely changed.
