Chapter 281: Is This Trying to Seduce Me?

Based on a few bits of clues, they immediately thought of this method of crime.

Xu Mo, as a rookie, has abilities that far exceed the officers' expectations.

At this moment, every officer's view of Xu Mo has completely changed.

Earlier, a considerable number of officers thought that Han Fei bringing Xu Mo in as some special consultant was a rash decision by Han Fei.

Now it seems, how could Han Fei be the one who was rash? This is damn a case of keen insight!

Thus, right now, the officers genuinely want to praise: …Han Team is wise!

One should know that having a top‑notch case‑solving colleague in the Police Station brings many benefits.

The most obvious benefit is a higher clearance rate and noticeably faster solving speed.

That means the Police Station can earn more collective honors, and overtime hours are greatly reduced.

Moreover, if the solving speed is fast enough to close a case before quitting time, they can completely avoid overtime!

Nine‑to‑five… not a dream!

"Not…," Xu Mo, feeling a chill under everyone's stare, immediately pointed to Sun Ying nearby: "Shouldn't the most important thing now be to take her statement? Once that's done, we can leave on time."

"Right, right, take her for a statement! Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, you two go record her statement," Han Fei told the two.

Because earlier, Sun Ying and Xu Mo had already given all the necessary explanations.

Therefore, there is no need to interrogate her.

What remains is simply to have Sun Ying repeat what she and Xu Mo just explained, so the officers can record it.

It's not complicated; just let the officers under your command handle it.

"By the way," Han Fei added as if he remembered something: "Chen Ke, go fetch Sun Jian, bring him to the Interrogation Room; this kid needs another charge added."

"Got it."

At that moment, a system notification sound suddenly rang in Xu Mo's mind.

"You have successfully captured an Escapee and earned a reward—one thousand successful case‑solving experiences."

This time, the System Reward is an Experience Gift Pack.

It directly inserts into Xu Mo's mind the experience of solving one thousand Major Cases.

There's a saying—after watching over a thousand movies, you realize there truly is nothing bizarre in this world.

That saying also makes sense when applied to case solving.

When a person possesses the experience of solving a thousand Major Cases.

Then any strange case, to him, is no longer strange.

This reward's pretty good! Xu Mo feels a bit excited.

One thousand case‑solving experiences—that's something!

Han Fei, the veteran Criminal Investigation Team Leader, likely hasn't taken part in that many Major Cases.

Xu Mo plans to ask Han Fei.

"Han Team, how many Major Cases have you participated in?"

"Major Cases? You mean the ones with huge impact and hard to solve?" Han Fei mentally counted: "I've done thirty years in Criminal Investigation; the high‑difficulty, high‑impact cases total about fifty, and almost all were solved. Only one case lacked any evidence, so I couldn't proceed. Why are you asking this now?"

Xu Mo thought, how could Han Fei be so weak? Thirty years and only about fifty cases? Yet in his mind he thought that, while his words were different: "Nothing, I'm just asking casually. Han Team, you're really impressive, having taken part in over fifty Major Cases, and only one went unsolved."

Hearing that, Han Fei instantly felt a bit elated.

Usually when people flatter him, he might feel a little pleased inside but never shows it.

But the flattery Xu Mo gives is different.

Han Fei couldn't hide the joyful expression on his face at all; he even put on a slight act in front of Xu Mo.

"Hey, why bring it up? Fifty cases, forty‑nine solved, that's only a 98% clearance rate—actually not that high."

What Han Fei doesn't know is that before him stands someone with experience solving a thousand Major Cases.

Xu Mo gave a shy smile, thinking to himself that a 98% clearance rate really isn't high.

The System Reward gave him the experience of a thousand successful Major Case resolutions, plus the few cases Xu Mo himself had taken part in.

Xu Mo's clearance rate is 100%!

Han Fei saw that Xu Mo's smile was a bit unnatural.

He thought perhaps Xu Mo felt insecure after learning of his own brilliant record.

He immediately patted Xu Mo's shoulder and comforted him, saying.

"Take your time; someday you'll catch up to me! I have faith in you!"

……

In the temporary holding cell of the Police Station.

Sun Jian is waiting for the officers to bring Sun Ying; he wants to catch one more glimpse of his sister before going in.

At that moment, Chen Ke walked over.

He had the guard officer open the cell door that was holding Sun Jian.

"Come with me for a walk," Chen Ke said expressionlessly.

Seeing Chen Ke about to take him out.

Sun Jian couldn't be happier: "Is my sister here? Where is she?"

If earlier, Chen Ke might have even smiled upon seeing Sun Jian.

Although Sun Jian isn't a law‑abiding citizen, he is still a good brother who cares for his sister.

After all, Chen Ke's motive for killing differs from those perverse serial killers; he killed for his own sister, targeting a personal scum.

There are still certain distinctions between criminals.

Just on that basis, Chen Ke wouldn't give Sun Jian any hostile look.

However, after learning everything, Chen Ke no longer showed any goodwill toward Sun Jian.

"You want to see her; do you think she wants to see you? Don't you know what disgusting things you've done to her?"

Hearing that, Sun Jian's smile vanished instantly.

He sensed that something was off.

Chen Ke's words clearly indicated he knew something.

For example, the events that occurred during the period when his stepmother had just married Sun Ying...

He asked Chen Ke cautiously.

"Did my sister tell you something?"

Chen Ke didn't answer his question and said, "Move faster!"

Although Chen Ke didn't answer him,

Sun Jian already had an answer in his mind.

Interrogation Room.

"We called you here because your sister told us something; you know what I mean, right?" Han Fei said bluntly.

Sun Jian gave a wry smile and nodded, "I understand."

"Then don't waste our time; confess honestly."

Hearing that, Sun Jian slumped into his seat.

His face contorted with pain as he began to speak.

"It's true that this was my fault. I was young and immature then, and I did something that wronged her. It's the thing I regret most, and I've been trying for years to make it up to my sister..."

After the case was fully investigated, Xu Mo returned home.

In the villa.

After his shower, Xu Mo took the Beauty-Boosting Pill that the System Reward had given him.

Although Xu Mo was fairly satisfied with his own looks.

But... since the system had already rewarded this item, wouldn't not taking it be wasteful?

He had just swallowed the pill.

The Doorbell rang.

Xu Mo, still in his bathrobe, opened the door.

Standing outside, ringing the Doorbell, was Yang Jingxuan.

"You just got back from overtime, right? I brought you some fruit..." Yang Jingxuan stopped mid‑sentence, stunned.

Xu Mo was still the Xu Mo she knew.

But for some reason, she felt that today's Xu Mo was unusually handsome.

Especially since Xu Mo was still in his bathrobe, his hair not even dried.

Seeing Xu Mo's deep gaze, Yang Jingxuan couldn't help but swallow dryly.

Is this a tease?!
