Chapter 374: People Are More Annoying Than Death

"Confess and get leniency, resist and get harsh? Saying these eight words can make a suspect confess? Is that reliable?" After hearing Chen Ke's words, the officers were all stunned.

Chen Ke shrugged.

"It sounds indeed not very reliable, but Xu Mo actually did it that way, and as you saw, Lin Tian confessed."

To be honest, why those eight words spoken by Xu Mo can make someone instantly confess, Chen Ke also can't figure out.

But the reality is indeed so; once Xu Mo says those eight words, the criminal immediately confesses, with an eager attitude, answering whatever is asked.

At this moment in the Interrogation Room, this scene is playing out.

"Why did you kill?" Xu Mo continued to ask.

Lin Tian recalled the events of that year.

"At that time I hadn't been with her long when she got pregnant. I asked her to abort the child, but she refused, saying she wanted to give birth and marry me. I definitely couldn't agree; I only wanted to have fun with her, marrying her… impossible."

"She wouldn't abort the child at all, and even came to my house to cause trouble. I got angry and simply killed her, burying her in the Small Forest beside the school playground."

"One body, two lives," Li Yunfei, hearing this, was already fuming: "You didn't just kill Xu Jing, you also killed the child in her womb—that's your own flesh and blood, and you could do that?"

Lin Tian said nothing, just silently nodded.

After printing the transcript and having Lin Tian sign it, the Public Security University forest burial case was considered solved.

Fortunately, they solved the case within the stipulated time, so they won't be criticized.

Lin Tian will also face legal punishment.

At that moment, a prompt tone rang in Xu Mo's mind.

"You successfully captured an Escapee and earned the reward—Bomb Disposal Expert."

…

Xu Mo's move truly amazed the officers of the Lvteng City Police Bureau.

Not long ago they thought Xu Mo would never interrogate, that he was an amateur with no professional training; now it seems their perspective was narrow.

What the hell, how could he not interrogate?

He's basically a god!

Even as officers, they aren't unaware of how difficult a case like Lin Tian's is.

During interrogation, what officers fear most is not a suspect full of lies, but someone like Lin Tian who simply chooses to stay silent and say nothing.

If a suspect lies, they can still expose the gaps in his words, but if the suspect says nothing, that's truly a headache.

It's amazing that Xu Mo could handle such a tough case… that's awesome!

So the local officers' looks at Xu Mo changed.

To figure out what technique Xu Mo used to handle Lin Tian, the officers repeatedly watched the Interrogation Room footage after Xu Mo and his team left the Police Station.

However, it was of no use; Xu Mo's covert method of administering truth serum was already masterful, and unless it's a high‑speed camera, a normal camera simply can't capture it.

After catching the murderer of Xu Jing, Li Yunfei and his team didn't waste a moment and drove away from Lütengshi.

It was night when they returned to the Police Station.

Li Yunfei sent officers to escort Xu Mo and Chen Ke back to the hotel and the hospital respectively.

…

The next few days passed without incident.

Chen Ke's wound had almost healed; though not fully recovered, it was no longer serious, and the doctor told him that if he wanted to be discharged, he could do so now.

Bored, Chen Ke naturally didn't want to keep lying in the hospital, so early in the morning, accompanied by Xu Mo, he completed the discharge paperwork.

Once the discharge paperwork was done, he immediately called Han Fei to discuss rejoining the team.

Hearing Chen Ke's eagerness to return, Han Fei on the other end hurriedly tried to stop him.

"You should rest a while longer; the Police Station doesn't need you right now. These two days are quiet, the bureau is idle. Rest more, recover, and then rejoin when you're better."

"Han Team, I'm really fine; I've already looked at the tickets back to Yangcheng, just let me rejoin, I'm just idling at home anyway…"

After Chen Ke's repeated requests, Han Fei finally relented.

"Alright, you bought a flight to Yangcheng today, right? Then you don't need to rush back to the Police Station today; after this tiring trip, just rest a night and come tomorrow."

"Alright! See you tomorrow, Han Team."

…

While Chen Ke was on the call with Han Fei, Xu Mo also called Zhou Qiaoqiao and the others still at the hotel, telling them to pack up and leave, and he also bought tickets back to Yangcheng for the four of them.

Later, Xu Mo called Li Yunfei again, informing him that they were preparing to return to Yangcheng.

Upon learning that Xu Mo's group planned to return to Yangcheng today, Li Yunfei immediately took leave with Chief Zhang, preparing to see them off.

…

Airport.

Not only Li Yunfei but also Chief Zhang came to see Xu Mo and Chen Ke off.

"If you get the chance, you must come to Yangcheng to visit; when you do, the two of us brothers will host you," Chen Ke said with a smile before parting.

"Sure, if I get the chance, I will definitely…" Li Yunfei replied.

Chief Zhang said nothing, just smiled and nodded, forcing a smile.

Xu Mo is a talent; he has great confidence in Xu Mo and had previously thought about recruiting him.

Who would have thought Xu Mo is now preparing to return to Yangcheng, so the recruitment seems impossible now.

Moreover, Chief Zhang not only wanted to poach Xu Mo from Yangcheng, but also intended to match his own daughter with Xu Mo; now that seems unrealistic.

His daughter is indeed excellent, but compared to the four women standing by Xu Mo, there's a noticeable gap in looks, figure, and temperament.

Having such top‑tier beauties around Xu Mo, he likely doesn't favor his own daughter… sigh, that saying is indeed true: most things in life are unsatisfactory.

After a few polite exchanges, Xu Mo's party entered the security checkpoint, preparing to wait for boarding.

Watching Xu Mo's departing silhouette, Chief Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

They're both police officers, so why are the officers under other people's command so outstanding while the ones under my command are just a bunch of young brats?

People are unbelievably annoying!

Li Yunfei had no idea what Chief Zhang was thinking at that moment, yet he cheerfully said something.

"Chief Zhang, they're gone; let's go back as well."

As soon as the words finished, a sharp "Slap!" rang out, and Li Yunfei felt a slap on his back.

"Look at them, then look at you, you hopeless thing… all day you only know how to laugh foolishly! Back!"

Li Yunfei: "???"

"Why are you hitting me out of the blue??"

"Chief Zhang, is it… your big aunt's husband who came?"

"What big aunt's husband?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing…"
