Chapter 390: Keep Praising, Don't Stop

The case wrapped up, so Xu Mo drove straight home.

"You successfully captured the escapee and earned a reward—Truth Serum ×10!"

Truth Serum, an old friend; Xu Mo knows this stuff well.

Since the previous reward batch was nearly used up, the system, being considerate, sent him another batch.

With this gadget, even tough nuts don't give him a headache.

Early the next morning.

The news that Team Seven cracked a murder case overnight last night has already spread through the Police Station.

Before work hours began, the officers were already buzzing about it.

"Team Seven solved a case last night!?"

"They really have skill; Team Seven was just formed yesterday and already solved a murder case that same night."

"You haven't heard? Supposedly this breakthrough was also thanks to Xu Mo's effort…"

"How so? Tell us the details!"

"Do you know about simulated portrait? Xu Mo used that technique while solving the case yesterday; based on others' descriptions, he sketched the victim's face in a few strokes. The reason he solved it so quickly is that his portrait captured the victim's appearance… If it weren't for Xu Mo, the murderer would have fled by high‑speed rail to Yun Province and then smuggled out, making capture much harder later."

"Simulated portrait? Xu Mo can do that? I've never seen him use it; you aren't pulling a fast one on us, are you?"

"What are you trying to pull? I heard about it this morning when Xiao Li told me during handover; the portrait is still in the file, just go check it yourself."

"..."

In the office.

Han Fei also heard about it; Xu Mo really is a capable officer!

It had to be Xu Mo; if another officer handled it, they probably wouldn't have solved it at all, and they'd still need this Criminal Investigation Team Leader to follow up.

But what puzzles Han Fei is why the cases have suddenly multiplied lately?

The police station had been quiet for a while, with plenty of idle time, but in the past two days cases have been coming in one after another.

And it seems that ever since Chen Ke returned from Fu Sheng, cases have been piling up… Han Fei recalled the day Chen Ke came back from Fu Sheng: Chen Ke had just finished a phone call with him, and moments later a bus bombing occurred, which struck Han Fei as odd.

He didn't expect that yesterday, after Chen Ke joined the newly formed Team Seven, the Fragmented Corpse Case erupted again, and it happened at the hotel where Team Seven was having a meal.

Thinking of this, Han Fei couldn't help but frown, feeling that Chen Ke seemed a bit like a calamity star!?

Never mind, let it be; calamity star or not, the case is solved, and it's good to have Xu Mo, the little whiz at solving cases, so I don't have to worry.

At the same time.

Chen Ke entered the Police Station carrying the breakfast he bought on the way.

As he stepped in, he sneezed several times in a row.

Who was muttering behind him? Chen Ke wiped his face.

"Chen Ke, your Team Seven is impressive; I heard you solved a murder case last night with ease? Amazing!"

Chen Ke's posture straightened a few degrees involuntarily; he waved his hand, and with a calm expression said, "What's so impressive? It wasn't solved effortlessly; it was still somewhat difficult!"

He said that, but inside Chen Ke was already overjoyed… Keep praising, don't stop!

After a while, Xu Mo and the other officers gradually arrived at the Police Station.

After another round of small talk, everyone finally began today's work.

Calling it work, there wasn't much to handle; as long as no reports came in, the officers were in a half‑busy, half‑idle state.

The day passed quickly.

With nothing much happening today, Xu Mo rushed home after work.

"Getting off work so early today?"

"Yeah, nothing much today, just fished all day."

Xu Mo bent down to change his shoes, but the four women stopped him: "Don't change shoes; let's go out and have some fun!"

Hearing that, Xu Mo halted his action.

"Play what?"

"The beach—we're planning to watch the sunset over the sea, it's beautiful. We were going to call you to borrow your yacht… just as you returned," Zhou Qiaoqiao said, pulling out her phone to show Xu Mo a short video she had scrolled to.

The short video showed the seaside sunset.

"What's there to see in a sunset? Not going!" Xu Mo was about to say, but suddenly noticed the neatly arranged four bikinis on the coffee table.

"!!!"

In his mind, the image of the four women splashing in bikinis in the yacht's private pool flashed unbidden.

"I'm not really interested in bikini beauties; I mainly want to see the sunset, that's all…," Xu Mo said firmly, "Coincidentally, I also want to see the sunset, but I've been busy and had no time before."

Perfect, the matter of acquiring an Aircraft Carrier can also go on the agenda…

The group quickly agreed and decided to set off right away.

They drove to the dock where the yacht was moored, and Xu Mo's party boarded the yacht.

"A question just occurred to me…," An Youyi said, "We have no crew; the yacht can't sail, we can't just stay at the dock watching the sunset, can we?"

Upon hearing that, the other three women showed a hint of melancholy; hiring a crew on short notice seemed difficult.

When they arrived at the dock, it was just past six; sunset was an hour away. At this rate, their spontaneous plan to go out to sea to watch the sunset seemed doomed, and lacking a crew was a huge problem—how could they operate such a large yacht?

But they were clearly overthinking.

With Xu Mo, the veteran driver, there's no worry about moving the yacht, right?

With System Reward backing, Xu Mo can pilot any vehicle; not just a yacht—give him a submarine and he'll sail it away!

"No crew needed; I can drive the yacht," Xu Mo said calmly.

"You can?" the four women looked at Xu Mo, their tone a mix of surprise, delight, and a hint of doubt.

Xu Mo nodded.

"Almost, it's just a yacht. It's not going to be harder to operate than an airplane; it's just a few maneuvers—forward, backward, turning—nothing too difficult. Just study it a bit."

A few people know that Xu Mo can fly an airplane, and his words make sense.

Can a yacht be harder to operate than an airplane? Of course not.

Xu Mo can fly an airplane, can even make a car take off; surely piloting a yacht is no problem.

Moreover, they don't plan to go far out to sea; as long as they can get a little away from the coastline, it's the best spot to watch the sunset.

"Then you should first study whether the yacht is easy to operate; if it's not very easy to handle, we can postpone it." Zhou Qiaoqiao said, looking at him.

"Alright."

The group together entered the yacht's cockpit.

After a brief 'study', Xu Mo turned to the four women: "It's not hard to operate; just control the rudder to steer, much like driving a car—pretty simple..."
