Protagonist:

Su Mo

"Understood."

After hearing Lu Xuanxin's arrangement, Wang Zhe responded seriously.

He clenched both fists, making them crack!

At the same time, he thought to himself: "If I really run into that guy, I'll definitely make him pay the price!"

Su Mo glanced at Wang Zhe, saw the killing intent in his eyes, then added from the side, "Mr. Wang Zhe, I understand your current feelings, but please cooperate with us when the time comes. Officer Lu and I will definitely give this matter a fair resolution! Please trust the capabilities of us Hong Kong Police!"

"..."

Although Lu Xuanxin didn't speak, she held the same opinion.

"Rest assured, you two, I understand."

Wang Zhe took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, looked at the two of them, and said seriously, "If he really comes over, I'll cooperate with your plan."

"Mm, good that you understand."

Lu Xuanxin nodded slightly and said, "Then we'll hide nearby first. Once there's any situation, you contact us with the pager, and we'll come provide support at that time."

"I understand, rest assured, Officer."

Wang Zhe nodded and saw Su Mo and Lu Xuanxin out of the room.

……

……

Mong Kok, downstairs of the tattoo shop.

Su Mo and Lu Xuanxin sat in the car, watching all the situations around the tattoo parlor.

Moreover, besides Su Mo and Lu Xuanxin, at this moment dozens of police squads had already been deployed under the duplex building of the entire Mong Kok tattoo shop, working in pairs responsible for tailing.

Once a suspicious person approaches, they will immediately rush forward!

Although Wang Zhe said he would report promptly if there were problems, they still felt they needed an extra layer of insurance.

Lu Xuanxin looked at Su Mo and asked, "Lin Yu, do you think he'll appear today?"

"What does the Chief think?" Su Mo smiled and countered.

Lu Xuanxin rested her chin on one hand, analyzing, "The previous two cases both occurred at night. I think since it's daytime now, that guy probably won't brazenly make a move, right?"

"What the Chief said is very correct, but you overlooked a very important point."

"Oh? What is it?"

"The reason the suspects in the previous two cases acted at night was still related to their identities. Mai Rong'en's public identity is the Boxing King of Hong Kong and Macau, while secretly he's also a triad gang member. It was hard for him to act during the day, so the suspect chose night. As for Tan Jingyao, as the Art Museum curator, the museum had many people and prying eyes during the day, likewise inconvenient for sparring with fists and feet, and hard to fully display his skills, so the suspect also chose night."

Changing the subject, Su Mo continued, "But Wang Zhe's tattoo shop is different."

"Why?" Lu Xuanxin frowned slightly and asked.

"Because this is Mong Kok, Tong Lau."

Su Mo smiled faintly and continued explaining, "The time when there are the most people and it's most chaotic here is night. Especially for this kind of tattoo shop Wang Zhe runs, the customer flow at night is far greater than during the day, so the success rate of acting during the day is higher than acting at night. Very few people would disturb their sparring match!"

"I see... so that's how it is..."

Lu Xuanxin's mind turned very fast.

With Su Mo's reminder reaching this level, she naturally understood as well.

Gurgle... gurgle...

Just as Su Mo wanted to say something more, an embarrassing sound suddenly came from the passenger seat.

"Uh..."

"Uh..."

Su Mo looked at Lu Xuanxin and touched his nose.

Lu Xuanxin's pretty face reddened, somewhat embarrassed she lowered her head.

Although she was usually thunderous and swift in action, having her subordinate hear her stomach growl was still a very embarrassing thing for her, especially since the two had just been discussing serious business.

"..."

For a moment both fell into silence, not knowing how to break the ice.

Su Mo's head then turned to look out the window.

Suddenly a fragrance wafted to his nose tip. Following the direction the smell came from, Su Mo saw a wonton stall selling breakfast at the storefront under the Tong Lau.

The fragrance was drifting from that side.

"Smells so good..."

Su Mo took a deep breath, and under the stimulation of the smell also felt a bit hungry.

"Chief, my stomach is a bit hungry..."

Su Mo thought for a moment, then spoke to give Lu Xuanxin a way out, "Come to think of it, from yesterday returning to the station from Stanley Prison until now it's been almost a day without eating. How about we go down and eat a bowl of wontons?"

"But we're currently on a mission. As the overall commander of this mission, if I leave..."

Lu Xuanxin was somewhat tempted but still hesitated.

After all, they were still executing a mission, and she was the person in charge of this mission. If she left her post without authorization, the impact on their Serious Crimes Unit would be bad.

"Who said we're eating? We're just changing locations to scout the nearby situation. Who knows, the criminal suspect might be eating at the breakfast stall right now? Besides, we're right nearby, so even if an emergency happens there's time to rush over." Su Mo persuaded.

"Then... go eat a bowl?" Lu Xuanxin's eyes brightened, somewhat moved.

"Let's go!"

Su Mo smiled and got out of the car first.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanxin hurriedly trotted after him.

Since both were dressed in ordinary clothes and had no fear of drawing the suspect's attention, they concealed their weapons at their waists and walked openly to the wonton stall and sat down.

"Auntie, two bowls of wontons, one bowl with extra dried shrimp and cilantro." After speaking, Su Mo looked at Lu Xuanxin, "Chief... Sister Lu, what about you?"

He had almost called her Chief Lu.

Fortunately, Su Mo reacted in time and stopped himself, calling her Sister Lu instead.

"Same as you." Lu Xuanxin glared at him, still shaken.

"Hehe..."

Su Mo smiled, then said to the auntie, "Auntie, make both bowls with extra dried shrimp and cilantro, and add two tea eggs and two fried dough sticks."

"Got it!"

The auntie answered, "Young man, the tea eggs are in the insulated pot to your right, help yourself. The pickled vegetables are also to your right; if you need any, use the small plate to pick some."

"I know, thank you, Auntie."

"Lin Yu, let me..."

"Sister Lu, just sit. I can do it alone."

Su Mo smiled at Lu Xuanxin, stood up, and went to the right to get the food.

Watching Su Mo's back, Lu Xuanxin was slightly stunned.

A moment later, Su Mo returned carrying two small plates.

"Sister Lu, here."

Su Mo said, handing Lu Xuanxin a tea egg.

Taking the tea egg and peeling the shell, Lu Xuanxin asked curiously, "Lin Yu, how come I've never heard Old Wang mention that he has someone as talented as you under him?"

"I only graduated two months ago, Sister Lu, so it's normal you don't know," Su Mo explained.

"I see..."

Lu Xuanxin nodded and continued peeling the egg shell.

Su Mo smiled, paired the pickled vegetables with the tea egg, and took a bite.
