"Holy crap, I just took a peek at the neighboring livestream room, and Xu Mo was right. There really is a group of people at World City Pedestrian Street right now!"

"The police spent hours painstakingly reviewing surveillance footage to find a lead, but Xu Mo found it in just a few minutes?"

"What the hell is going on? Does Xu Mo really know where the rest of them are?"

"Could he have actually spotted something in the surveillance footage?"

"No way, he must be bluffing. It's just a lucky guess. How could one person watch dozens of surveillance feeds at 32x speed and catch anything?"

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Whatever the case, Xu Mo correctly identified the location of the other 'fugitives'. Maybe he really can multitask that well?"

"..."

"You watched that little bit of surveillance footage and now you know where the others are hiding?" Zhou Qiaoqiao asked with a look of disbelief.

"What, you don't believe me?" Xu Mo smiled. "Let's go. You'll see soon enough."

With that, he led the four of them out of the park.

Compared to the hiding spots of other show contestants, World City Pedestrian Street was the closest to the small park where Xu Mo and his group were currently located.

Even so, the two places were still two or three kilometers apart.

Xu Mo certainly didn't plan on walking there.

He needed to find a vehicle.

...

At the park entrance.

Xu Mo took out the Hangzhou police officer's badge he had stolen earlier and stood there.

He was waiting for a fortuitous encounter.

Xu Mo's luck was pretty good.

After waiting for less than a minute,

He happened to run into someone who had driven to the park for a visit.

Before the girl could even park her car, Xu Mo approached.

Flashing the police badge, he got straight to the point.

"I'm a police officer. I'm in pursuit of a fugitive and need to temporarily requisition your vehicle."

As he spoke, he opened the car door.

It seemed he wasn't really asking for permission, but rather informing her - your car has been requisitioned.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected for Xu Mo.

The girl in the car stared at him blankly.

"I recognize you. You're Xu Mo, right? I've watched the livestream. That police badge... isn't it stolen? What kind of police officer are you..."

Xu Mo: "..."

Having been exposed on the spot, Xu Mo's motion of opening the car door halted.

It was rather awkward.

Come to think of it, he had impersonated a police officer to deceive people quite a few times already.

But this was the first time he'd been called out face-to-face!

Who would have thought he'd run into someone who had watched the livestream?

Seeing this scene unfold, the viewers in the livestream chat all burst out laughing.

"Hahahahaha, that's what you get for always pretending to be a cop. Busted!"

"I'm dying of laughter. Xu Mo's gotten addicted to playing cop, even trying to requisition someone's car. How embarrassing!"

"I can feel the awkwardness through the screen. Xu Mo, you might want to move to another planet hahaha."

"..."

This girl hadn't just watched Xu Mo's livestream.

She was actually a fan of his.

As for lending Xu Mo her car, she was more than willing.

The next moment, she voluntarily got out of the car, being very cooperative.

"You can borrow my car... but I want to take a picture with you."

Without waiting for Xu Mo's response, she immediately took out her phone and sidled up to him.

Switching to the front camera, she snapped several photos in quick succession.

Then she started admiring the selfies, her lips unconsciously curving into a smile.

After a quick edit of the photos,

She promptly posted the selfies with Xu Mo on a short video platform.

The caption accompanying the photos read: "Guys, I just 'solo killed' Xu Mo IRL!"

...

Jiangcheng City Police Station.

At this time, the "Eye in the Sky Operation" show was a huge hit.

Anything related to the show that got posted online was bound to go viral.

The girl's selfies with Xu Mo had blown up shortly after she posted them on the short video app.

In fact, most people who had the app installed received a text notification on their phones.

Han Fei was no exception.

During work hours, he wouldn't normally browse short videos.

But this notification immediately piqued his interest.

Because it was related to Xu Mo.

Han Fei immediately clicked on the text notification that popped up from the short video app.

His phone automatically redirected, entering the short video app interface.

What played were the photos that the girl whose car Xu Mo had just requisitioned had posted not long ago.

Looking at the photos, Han Fei was a bit confused.

The background in the photos was clearly not Sakura Country!

Han Fei noticed a small detail.

In the photos, the license plate of a car not far behind the two of them started with "Jiang A".

Wasn't that Jiangcheng City?

Xu Mo had come to Jiangcheng?

All along, Han Fei had believed that Xu Mo was still hiding in Sakura Country.

The show's production team hadn't disclosed Xu Mo's location to the pursuit team.

Moreover, Han Fei hadn't been able to trace any bank card transactions for plane tickets purchased by Xu Mo's group.

Originally, he had planned to go to Sakura Country to apprehend them after catching the "fugitives" in Jiangcheng.

Now it seemed that wouldn't be necessary!

Of course, whether Xu Mo was actually in Jiangcheng still needed to be confirmed.

Han Fei opened the short video creator's profile.

Her WeChat ID was displayed on her profile.

Through the WeChat ID, Han Fei also managed to find the girl's phone number.

He immediately called her using the police station's landline.

"Hello, this is a police officer. Are those photos you uploaded to the short video app authentic? When did you take them?"

Having watched the livestream, the girl recognized Han Fei's voice.

"Captain Han!? Oh my god, what kind of luck am I having today? First I run into Xu Mo, and now you're calling me. Um... could you repeat what you just said? I want to record it for content!"

Han Fei: "..."

He didn't do as the girl asked.

From her words, he had already gotten the answer he wanted.

Han Fei could confirm that Xu Mo was indeed in Jiangcheng right now!

"Where did you run into Xu Mo today? What time was it?" Han Fei asked.

The girl thought for a moment. "I met him at Forest Park. I'm not sure of the exact time, I didn't check. I'd guess it was about ten or twenty minutes ago, no more than half an hour at most."

"Which way did he go?" Han Fei continued.

"I didn't notice that. I was busy editing the photos. I don't even know when he drove off with my car."

"He took your car?" Han Fei seized on the key point. "What's the license plate number?"

Then Han Fei added,

"This isn't cheating. I just happened to come across this short video that could provide a clue. You didn't peek at the screen to tell me Xu Mo's location, you're just providing some information you know. Telling me the license plate number doesn't count as helping me cheat... and even if you don't tell me, I can find out your license plate number with a bit of time."

Hearing this, the girl thought he had a point. This really didn't count as cheating, it was just normally providing information to the police.

And even if she didn't say, the police could trace her license plate through her phone number.

So she simply gave her license plate number: "Jiang A.EF097."

"Thank you for your cooperation," Han Fei said with a smile.

Then he turned to the police officer beside him: "Jiang A.EF097, check where this license plate is now!"
