Chapter 501: These Eyes Are Way Too Overpowered!
On the way back to the Police Station.
The officers were clamoring to know how Xu Mo pinpointed the suspect and deduced the suspect's method of operation.
Because there were too many people for one car, they simply held a conference call while driving back to the Police Station, pestering Xu Mo over the phone to tell them.
So Xu Mo spent a few minutes restating to the curious officers what he had just told Han Fei.
"…That's about it; that's how I guessed the suspect's method."
After hearing Xu Mo, the officers' looks at him changed.
"You determined the suspect's method thanks to a tiny flying insect? Team Leader Xu, you're truly my god!"
"I told you Team Leader Xu must have a trick; when we left school and he sent us back to the mall, I guessed it, and it actually turned out to be true."
"So Team Leader Xu, you were in the Restroom just now looking for the small flying insect that got dizzy from the Ethanol, no wonder you were so meticulous."
"If only I could have Team Leader Xu's observational skill."
"Hey, Team Leader Xu, how did you determine the suspect's identity?"
"Well…" Xu Mo gave the credit to Han Fei: "All of this is thanks to Han Team; Han Team, you take it from here."
Han Fei gave Xu Mo a surprised glance; when reviewing the surveillance to filter the suspect, Xu Mo also contributed, and Han Fei didn't expect Xu Mo to forgo any chance of taking the spotlight, instead handing it to her.
Xu Mo didn't want his subordinates to see him, the team leader, looking incompetent, so he voluntarily gave up part of the credit; that gesture was very considerate.
Han Fei expressed great satisfaction with that.
"How can you say it's all my credit? Team Leader Xu, you're too modest; clearly your contribution was the greatest." Han Fei smiled and recapped the situation.
"It went like this: Team Leader Xu had me copy a set of the mall's surveillance footage…"
After hearing that, the officers sighed again.
"No wonder Han Team and Team Leader Xu are our leaders; they're far more capable than us! Their insight is truly impressive."
"The gap between people really is huge; I didn't think of so many details while watching the footage, I feel ashamed."
"Turns out even a simple surveillance check has so many layers; I've learned a lot."
…
Soon, the group returned to the Police Station and activated Tianyan Search to locate the suspect.
The Tianyan Search results showed that the suspect had recently driven off the Huanxian Chadaokou onto a side road, the last spot captured by surveillance.
"This place is remote, rarely visited, yet easily reachable… a perfect hideout. If I'm not mistaken, their base must be nearby," Han Fei said. "Check the map for any abandoned factories or self‑built houses around there."
"Yes!"
The officers immediately opened a real‑time map and began searching for nearby structures.
Their search actually turned up something.
Directly beneath the overpass, there was an old self‑built house.
"Han Team, Team Leader Xu, there's a self‑built house under this overpass that looks quite old; do you think the suspect could be hiding there?"
Han Fei and Xu Mo glanced at the map, exchanged a look, and both nodded.
The spot is both remote and easily reachable, close to an overpass junction, and highly concealed; being directly under the overpass, it's hard to notice the self‑built house without close inspection.
Moreover, the overpass above brings constant traffic, which can easily mask any sounds from the house below—perfect for abducting children.
"That must be it. Let's go and check!" Han Fei decided on the spot.
The party set out again, preparing to investigate.
…
After a one‑and‑a‑half‑hour drive, the officers arrived at the junction.
To prevent the suspect from noticing the police and fleeing, the officers drove down the Chadaokou and simply parked by the roadside.
The vehicle was too conspicuous, so they chose to approach on foot.
After getting out and walking a short distance, the group saw the old self‑built house in the distance.
Among those present, Xu Mo had the best eyesight; while the other officers could barely make out the house's outline, Xu Mo could clearly see the fan blades of the operating air‑conditioner unit attached to the house.
"We've found it; this must be it. Someone lives inside."
"From that distance, how do you know someone's inside?" Han Fei asked, puzzled.
It would be easy at night—just check if the lights are on—but it's daytime with no lights at all. How did Xu Mo determine from so far away that the house was occupied?
Xu Mo pointed and said, "The air‑conditioner unit's fan blades are still whirring; the AC is on inside, so there must be people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers' eyes twitched.
Good heavens, from that distance you can even tell whether the air‑conditioner fan blades are turning!
What the hell kind of eyesight is that!
At that moment, Han Fei muttered softly, "Pervert."
Xu Mo's eyesight is truly perverse, like a damn telescope!
Han Fei could only make out the house's outline; she couldn't even see where the air‑conditioner unit was mounted, let alone whether its fan blades were turning.
In the meantime, Wang Dachuan pulled a phone from his pocket, aimed it at the house ahead, and pinched the screen to zoom.
With the camera at 100× zoom, Wang Dachuan finally managed to see the rotating fan blades of the air‑conditioner unit.
"Team Leader Xu was right; the air‑conditioner fan blades are indeed…"
As soon as he finished, Han Fei turned and stared at Wang Dachuan in surprise: "You can see the fan blades too?"
"No, no, no, Han Team, you're overestimating me; I can't see it." Wang Dachuan waved his hand vigorously, explaining: "I'm using my phone; it supports 100× zoom, so I can capture distant things clearly. Han Team, look…"
While saying that, Wang Dachuan handed the phone to Han Fei.
Using the phone, Han Fei also saw the rotating fan blades of the air‑conditioner unit.
After returning the phone to Wang Dachuan, Han Fei glanced at Xu Mo beside her, her gaze at him like she was sizing up a monster.
Xu Mo's eyes are almost too overpowered, as if they come with 100× zoom!
However, he didn't get overly tangled up in the matter, but instead turned to the police officers behind him and said:
"The self‑built house ahead does indeed have occupants; let's move over slowly, surround the house, and be careful not to stir the grass and startle the snake."
