Schomer's Provocation

As a "wanted" target, he actually walked past the three pursuing him right under their noses.

This feeling was simply thrilling!

Xu Mo had never felt such a thrill before. It was far more exciting than his previous life of working nine-to-five, either at home or the office.

It was an odd, indescribable thrill!

The live stream viewers were also clearly excited, constantly typing "666" ...

"Too awesome, this episode's Xu Mo is simply too awesome!"

"Haha, the investigation team members must be dumbfounded."

"Who would have thought that Xu Mo would disguise himself as a deliveryman."

...

Of course, Xu Mo could not see the viewers praising him. The elevator kept descending, the red numbers on the display decreasing continuously.

Finally with a "ding" the elevator stopped at the first floor and the doors opened automatically. As Xu Mo stepped out, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Among the people getting on and off the elevator normally, one person stood out.

This person, upon seeing the elevator reach the first floor, did not get on or move away from the elevator doors, but stared fixedly at the elevator.

Not only that, his attention also turned to the nearby stairwell.

The investigation team had more than just the three who went upstairs!

There was also this person in front of him.

Xu Mo instantly understood.

But he was not surprised either, because this was the most sensible thing to do if they wanted to prevent his escape - to have someone guarding the exit.

He had to leave quickly.

Otherwise the three upstairs would surely react soon.

Xu Mo's footsteps moved slowly.

Near the elevator, Chen Ke naturally also saw Xu Mo, his gaze fixed on the latter. But seeing the Meituan delivery uniform and helmet Xu Mo was wearing, his wariness dissipated by more than half.

At the same time.

In room 2404.

When Han Fei, Li Chen and Shen Manni entered Xu Mo's room, they started searching everywhere immediately.

After a quick search, not a shadow of anyone could be found.

"Xu Mo escaped!"

"This guy is pretty fast," Li Chen said from the kitchen.

"The kidnapped celebrity Yang Jingxuan is also missing along with him."

Shen Manni exchanged words with Li Chen.

Han Fei ignored their conversation, his gaze fixed on the takeout on the coffee table in the living room.

"Captain Han, did you discover something?"

Noticing Han Fei's situation, Shen Manni asked.

Han Fei did not answer, but walked to the coffee table, feeling the takeout box with his palm. The box was still hot, and it was not just regular hot, but the kind of scalding hot from a box that had just been opened.

He said to Shen Manni, "The takeout box is still scalding. This Xu Mo definitely did not go far. While we were on our way up, he even ordered takeout. This guy has some guts!"

"He ordered takeout!"

Shen Manni was startled. She did not expect that Xu Mo, as a "wanted" man, would have the leisure to order takeout in this situation.

This kind of person must be either crazy!

Or very confident.

Confident that even taking the time to order takeout, he could still escape right under their noses.

Judging from the current situation, Xu Mo was undoubtedly the second kind.

Because he did escape.

When Shen Manni and the others were on their way up, they did not encounter any suspicious person at all.

Wait...

That deliveryman from earlier!!

The scalding hot takeout.

The deliveryman looking at his phone lowering his head.

As if a flash of realization, Shen Manni exclaimed loudly, "Xu Mo is not gutsy, this guy did not order takeout to eat, but for the delivery uniform that deliveryman was wearing. It's very likely that the deliveryman we saw earlier was Xu Mo in disguise!"

With Shen Manni's reminder, Han Fei also reacted - it made sense. That deliveryman kept his head lowered looking at his phone the whole time, never once raising his head. At that time Han Fei thought he was probably in a rush to meet the delivery deadline. But now that he thought about it, it was highly likely he was avoiding their gaze.

This speculation was very possible!

Han Fei immediately took out his phone, preparing to alert Chen Ke who was standing guard downstairs.

At this moment...

"Boom!"

A sudden explosive sound came from the kitchen, shocking the three of them.

"What's the situation?"

The unexpected explosive sound set all their nerves on edge.

Li Chen in the kitchen felt it most acutely.

He saw that the microwave oven in the kitchen had exploded, spewing out a pile of flour which quickly caught fire.

Seeing this, Li Chen immediately reached out to grab a basin on the wall to put out the fire.

As he grabbed it, a sheet of paper the size of a diary fell out from inside the basin.

He glanced at it instinctively.

Written on it...

"Members of the Investigation Team, I hope you won't treat this as a game. I want you to take me as a real fugitive and go all out with no mercy, that will excite me. Tell me, what if I put combustibles and some nails and scrap iron instead of flour in the microwave, how would the person in the kitchen fare when it exploded?

So, in this livestream, I'll let you know that real criminals are not so simple. Bring out your capabilities!"
