Chapter 64: Damn, He Got Away With It Again
In the airport taxi passenger area, there was only one taxi left.
Just like that, Xu Mo hadn't even gotten in, yet he still gave the driver 200 yuan for nothing, letting him drive empty.
Xu Mo said it was to give the Investigation Team members the Eye Drug.
The Eye Drug was applied, but the taxi was gone!
The two waited in place for about twenty minutes and didn't see a single taxi.
Yang Jingxuan began to complain.
"Xu Mo, we've been waiting twenty minutes and haven't gotten a taxi."
"You didn't take the taxi earlier; what now? We won't be stuck here, right...?"
Xu Mo calmly said, "Let the bullet fly a little longer."
"What does that mean?"
"It means a lot of taxis will arrive in a moment."
Yang Jingxuan frowned, feeling Xu Mo was lying: "How could that be? I don't believe it…"
…
Five minutes later, taxis arrived.
Not just one, but a crowd.
Countless taxis drove over.
Seeing this scene, Xu Mo let out a deep breath.
Don't be fooled by how casually he said it earlier.
In fact, he had no idea inside!
Xu Mo was betting.
He bet that the driver earlier would tell the other drivers about getting 200 yuan for free at the airport.
He bet the other drivers would believe that driver and come to the airport to get 200 yuan for free.
Obviously, his bet was right.
At this moment, Yang Jingxuan's gaze at Xu Mo changed.
Her eyes were full of little stars.
Even her tone was surprised.
"How did you know so many taxis would come? Do you read fortunes?"
"No, I can't," Xu Mo smiled.
"Then how did you know?"
"Because that driver earlier would definitely tell the other drivers about getting 200 yuan for free at the airport; the other drivers, knowing this, would think of coming to the airport to get 200 yuan for free. Does that need calculation? Just a little thinking and you can guess it."
Yang Jingxuan: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
Seeing this, the Live Broadcast Room boiled over again.
"Damn, he got away with it again!"
"Ten times showing off, nine times slip; one successful show is enough to feel satisfied."
"I clearly saw Xu Mo take a deep breath earlier, but even he wasn't sure if his guess was right!"
"That was a good act this time; promise me, next time don't act like that, okay? If you act again, my Jingxuan wife will become yours…"
Looking at the newly arrived pile of taxis.
Yang Jingxuan glanced at Xu Mo.
"Now there are so many cars; we can leave, right?"
"No rush, the Eye Drug hasn't been applied enough yet," Xu Mo said, smiling and shaking his head.
Xu Mo knew that after the Investigation Team arrived at the airport, they would definitely check the surveillance.
He also guessed that once the Investigation Team realized the first taxi was his Smoke Bomb, they would split into two groups: one continuing to check the surveillance, the other chasing the cars.
What Xu Mo needed to do now was
to give the Investigation Team as much Eye Drug as possible.
Splitting into two groups wasn't a big problem for the Investigation Team.
But splitting into twenty groups?
They couldn't possibly have that many personnel, could they?
He took out the money he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
He waved to the driver.
"Whoa? He actually gave money?"
"That guy really didn't lie! Some people are just foolish with money."
"You can earn 200 without doing anything; this is a blast!"
Xu Mo also left no ink mark.
Holding the money in his hand, he gave each driver 200 yuan.
"Driver, we aren't getting in. You can drive wherever you want to relax. I guess you haven't taken a vacation in a long time? Take this chance to give yourself a break. We're filming a short video; this episode's theme is to comfort people who hustle in the city…"
It was still the line Xu Mo had used before.
The drivers didn't suspect anything at all.
After receiving Xu Mo's money, they thanked him one after another.
Most of the drivers thought Xu Mo's words made sense.
Although they didn't plan to take a full day off, taking half a day off wasn't a big problem.
After handing out money for a while, Xu Mo placed the remaining cash he held onto the ground.
"I won't give them out one by one. The drivers who didn't get money can come down and take it themselves. You all split this money and give yourselves a day off."
After speaking, he casually opened the door of one of the taxis and got in.
"Driver, drive."
…
Xu Mo's move.
But it completely threw off the Investigation Team that arrived at the airport an hour later.
Just now they chose to split into two groups.
Han Fei, Li Chen, and five police officers stayed at the airport to monitor the surveillance.
Shen Manni and Chen Ke, together with another five police officers, went to West Lake to chase that taxi and, while there, see if there were any clues about Xu Mo.
At this moment, Han Fei and his team were watching the surveillance.
In the footage, a bunch of taxis appeared.
Han Fei's heart gave an instinctive thud.
He had a premonition that these cabs might cause trouble…
And the feeling was extremely strong!
Immediately after, a taxi drove out of the airport's passenger area.
Seeing this, Han Fei first looked at the airport staff.
"Roll the footage back five seconds and zoom in on the license plate."
Then he turned his head toward one of the police officers.
"Xu Mo might be in that car; call and ask where that car is now."
Hearing that, the officer promptly complied.
He made a phone call.
The traffic department, a brother unit, quickly replied.
The taxi is now parked at the Provincial Museum.
Han Fei glanced at Li Chen beside him.
"Send two officers to the Provincial Museum!"
After arranging that, Han Fei continued watching the surveillance.
In the footage, another taxi drove away.
Han Fei: "???"
Playing with me?
He was a bit outraged.
But there was nothing he could do; he still had to investigate.
The officer called to check and found that this taxi had gone to Qinghe Fang.
So Han Fei dispatched two more officers to Qinghe Fang.
At this point, only he and one other officer remained at the airport watching the surveillance.
But that wasn't the end.
In the footage, yet another taxi drove away…
After that one, there was another…
Han Fei counted; in these few minutes of footage, a total of fifteen taxis had passed!
Seeing this, Han Fei was already completely fuming.
His hands rubbed back and forth over his head.
He stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape.
It was already a bewildered expression.
After a pause, Han Fei began swearing profusely, disregarding his image.
"F*** you ********"
This passage is too vulgar, so it can only be represented with asterisks; not a single character was written by Fan Qie…
Indeed, the Investigation Team was once again outwitted by Xu Mo.
They could split into two groups because they still had relatively many personnel.
The Investigation Team had four members, plus ten Hangcheng Police officers who came to cooperate.
Together, that made fourteen people.
Even when splitting, they could still guarantee seven on each side.
But…
They only had fourteen people.
But the cars that left the airport already numbered fifteen.
Wait, adding the one that went to West Lake twenty minutes ago makes sixteen.
Fourteen people can't split into sixteen routes, can they?
"Look at the childish—hahaha..."
"Han Fei: I'll check your mom! I'm done!"
"Even the production team's donkey wouldn't be handled like this, hahaha!"
"Han Team, promise me you won't continue the investigation, okay? You can't beat Xu Mo."
