Chapter 418: Don't be so modest

Although the man wanted to know why the police could lock onto him so quickly, Xu Mo and Han Fei had no intention of telling him.

After all, it involved the case details; they wouldn't discuss that with a criminal.

The man explained the whole chain of events clearly, answering the doubts in Xu Mo and Han Fei's minds.

No wonder Wang Yufei, a lowlife, could get in touch with Zhang Quan, a billionaire boss; it turned out to be because of a burglary.

At that time, Zhang Quan decided to embezzle, stealing all the items from his own Insurance Company, selling them for cash, and then fled.

While he was worrying about how to carry out the plan, he happened to meet Wang Yufei, who was breaking into his house to steal, and that ultimately enabled the bold scheme.

Wang Yufei was a drifter with no steady job, so he was short of cash, and Zhang Quan was generous, promising ten million after the job succeeded, so Wang Yufei was quickly blinded by the money.

He agreed with Zhang Quan to pull off a big heist and immediately contacted the fellow inmates he was sharing a cell with at the time.

Later, not wanting to share the ten million with them, he killed them all, both to silence them and to keep more money for himself.

Moreover, Wang Yufei, to get even more money, even killed the mastermind of this case: Zhang Quan.

"What are the names of those fellow inmates? What do they look like? Where are their bodies?" After grasping the whole story, Xu Mo asked in one breath.

The case was almost finished at this point, but the bodies still needed to be dealt with.

According to Wang Yufei, he recruited seven fellow inmates, and with the murdered Zhang Quan, that makes eight people, but the police have only found three bodies so far; the other five remain undiscovered.

Wang Yufei shook his head: "Zhang Meng, Wang Li, Deng Yunpeng… I don't know where their bodies are. I didn't kill those people; I only killed two, and their bodies are both in the abandoned factory."

Han Fei organized Wang Yufei's statement and then placed the records in front of him.

"Here is your statement; see if there's any problem or any omissions that need supplementing. If everything's fine, just sign at the bottom."

Wang Yufei took the statement and gave it a quick glance.

"No problem, no need to add anything; I've said everything I know."

"Then sign."

"……"

The case reached a pause.

Next, they only need to wait for officials from other departments to take Wang Yufei away for trial.

Of course, the other five bodies will take time to locate, and the stolen items also need to be dealt with.

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

"You successfully captured the criminal and earned a reward—SirenBowuguan!"

Xu Mo mentally checked the detailed information of the System Reward's private museum granted to him.

The private museum is located in the bustling downtown, housing a collection of rare artifacts.

Of course, being a private museum, the museum itself and all its collections belong to Xu Mo, with all the paperwork and certificates in perfect order.

In terms of value, the items in the museum together aren't cheaper than all the stolen goods in this case; they're even considerably more expensive.

The system is really generous!

Although the case isn't completely closed yet, the remaining tasks no longer require Xu Mo: coordinating with the department handling Wang Yufei's trial, locating the other victims' bodies, and dealing with the stolen items are all handled without him.

Capturing the criminal and recovering the loot are the top priorities, and those have already been resolved.

Compared to that, the remaining matters are much simpler; the officers at the Police Station can handle the rest, and there's no need for Xu Mo and Han Fei to worry.

Their task is to continue hosting the three visiting officers learning on the job.

In the office.

Xu Mo, Han Fei, and the three visiting officers are conversing.

The three officers' faces are filled with unmistakable excitement.

"Everyone says you solve cases quickly, basically in a day. I didn't believe it before, but now I do! Impressive!"

"How is that a day? We got the report just after one o'clock, and it's only a few o'clock now? We wrapped up a case in half a day, alright!"

"For a massive theft like this, if it were in our jurisdiction… it would probably take a couple of weeks, and we might still not solve it."

The three's gazes toward Xu Mo were full of admiration.

This massive theft case was driven almost entirely by Xu Mo alone.

First, he determined the Insurance Company's line failure was human-made, then pointed the finger at its owner Zhang Quan, and later traced it to an abandoned factory in the suburbs… all of it was guided by Xu Mo.

One could say that without Xu Mo, this case wouldn't have been solved anytime soon.

"By the way, Team Leader Xu, do you also perform autopsies?" one officer recalled Xu Mo's forensic methods during the investigation.

"I know a bit, just the basics," Xu Mo replied with a modest smile.

Han Fei, standing nearby, chimed in at that moment.

"Stop being modest, what basics? Our Police Station's medical examiner even says he's not as good as you."

Speaking of that, Han Fei turned to the three visiting officers: "The bodies in this case aren't worth examining; the causes of death are simple and obvious. How about I tell you about a previous case? That's the real excitement."

Hearing this, the three lit up instantly and pulled out their pocket notebooks.

"We can't wait! Officer Han, you speak, we're listening."

"First, let me recount the first report our Police Station received. The complainant said his son had slit his wrist at home and died; aside from the wrist wound, the body had no other injuries, which seems consistent with suicide, right? But Xu Mo, after just glancing at the scene photos, immediately concluded the death was murder, that it was a homicide and the suicide scene had been staged."

"How is that possible? To tell from photos that it wasn't suicide? What happened next?"

"Then I went to the scene with Xu Mo…"
