After the five people went upstairs.
The hostel owner almost instinctively started staring at the hallway surveillance footage.
In the video feed.
The five didn't disperse to their separate rooms.
Instead, they all entered one room together.
The owner could even imagine the scene that was about to unfold in that room.
"Just as I thought, fake propriety! Cousins during the day, lovers at night? I've seen this trick many times," the owner muttered to himself.
Having confirmed his suspicions, the owner stopped watching the hallway footage.
He casually picked up his phone and continued playing with it instead.
...
Meanwhile.
The pursuit team also arrived near the university town, following the SUV's location.
The SUV was parked on the roadside.
With the car parked here, Xu Mo must be nearby, likely posing as a student to blend into a campus.
But the problem was, there were several universities in the area. Who knew which one Xu Mo had sneaked into?
They checked the nearby networked surveillance cameras.
The footage only showed Xu Mo getting out of the car, but not where he went afterwards.
"This guy... he's as cautious as ever," Han Fei sighed helplessly.
Just then.
His phone rang.
It was an officer from the bureau calling.
Han Fei answered without much thought.
"Captain Han, we've located another group of 'fugitives', they're inside Jiangcheng University."
The officer's words on the other end of the line made Han Fei's heart tighten unexpectedly.
What a coincidence?
He was right in the university town at this moment!
And the main gate of Jiangcheng University was just diagonally across from where Xu Mo had parked.
At first, he thought Xu Mo had just randomly found a place to hide.
But now it seemed...
Xu Mo definitely came here with a purpose.
This wasn't a random hiding spot at all.
Xu Mo parking his car diagonally across from Jiangcheng University's main gate - wasn't he planning to go in and catch someone?
He was trying to beat them at their own job!
But Han Fei was puzzled about how Xu Mo had managed to find out that the 'fugitives' were hiding in the university town.
How could he be faster than the police?
Of course, the method Xu Mo used to locate the 'fugitives' hiding spot wasn't what Han Fei needed to know most urgently right now.
He just knew that they couldn't let Xu Mo take the lead every time.
What kind of nonsense was it for 'fugitives' to help the police catch other 'fugitives'?
And it was all being live-streamed now.
So many viewers were watching.
If they let Xu Mo get ahead of them every time, the audience might think the police were incompetent!
That absolutely couldn't happen.
Thinking of this, Han Fei quickly asked.
"I'm in the university town right now. Do you know the exact hiding location of the 'fugitives'? I can go in and arrest them immediately."
"We don't know the precise location yet. The school's surveillance isn't that comprehensive. Those two 'fugitives' only briefly appeared on one of the school's cameras. What we can confirm is that the two 'fugitives' are somewhere on Jiangcheng University's campus, but it's hard to say exactly where. You'll have to find them yourselves, Captain Han," the officer replied.
"Alright, I got it," Han Fei said, hanging up the phone.
He pointed to Jiangcheng University diagonally across the street, then turned to look at the officers beside him.
"Forget about Xu Mo for now. I've received information that two 'fugitives' are on Jiangcheng University's campus. Let's arrest those two first. I strongly suspect that Xu Mo came here to catch them, trying to beat us to it again. Everyone, be on high alert. We absolutely cannot let Xu Mo get ahead of us this time!"
"Yes, sir!" the officers responded in unison.
The officers' thoughts aligned perfectly with Han Fei's.
In fact, even if Han Fei hadn't emphasized it, the officers would have thought the same way.
They couldn't let Xu Mo beat them to the arrest again, no matter what.
A 'fugitive' moving faster than the police? How could that look good?
After all, they were the professionals!
Xu Mo could only be considered an 'amateur' at best.
The officers immediately gave up on continuing to pursue Xu Mo and instead headed towards Jiangcheng University across the street.
In the live stream chat:
"There are 'fugitives' hiding in Jiangcheng University? No wonder Xu Mo came to the university town! He planned his escape carefully."
"We might have really underestimated Xu Mo. He actually knows the locations of the other 'fugitives'?"
"Is he some kind of supernatural being? He knows all the fugitives' locations just from watching a few minutes of surveillance footage?"
"This efficiency... it seems even more terrifying than the Skynet system!"
"How is that possible? Xu Mo must be guessing... It can't be that exaggerated, right?"
"Guessing correctly once might be possible, but finding the right location twice? You think that's just guessing? Whether you accept it or not, I'm impressed."
"..."
After entering Jiangcheng University's campus.
Han Fei didn't have the officers conduct a mindless sweep search for the two 'fugitives'.
After all, Jiangcheng University's campus was quite large.
Just walking through the entire campus once would probably take an hour, let alone conducting a thorough search.
Using a sweep search method, they might not find the two 'fugitives' until the year of the monkey.
Han Fei went directly to the school leadership and explained the situation.
Jiangcheng University's campus area was vast, and the surveillance coverage wasn't very high.
Whether relying solely on surveillance or just on the few dozen officers he had brought this time, it would be nearly impossible to find the two 'fugitives' in a short time.
So Han Fei wanted to leverage the power of the crowd, issuing a 'bounty' to have the university students help keep an eye out.
After all, Jiangcheng University had tens of thousands of students.
This meant there were tens of thousands of eyes that could help them search.
After learning Han Fei's team's identity and purpose, the school authorities were very cooperative.
After all, this was for a show.
The police only needed students to help catch fake 'fugitives', not real ones.
There was virtually no danger.
They immediately issued a notice to students in all departments across the campus, asking everyone to assist the police for a reward. Anyone who could provide useful information would be given a thousand yuan!
To make it easier for students to find the people, the school also sent photos of the two 'fugitives' to the students on campus.
Of course, they weren't asking the students to directly apprehend anyone.
The school authorities also repeatedly emphasized that students should not act rashly, but only provide information.
After all, they were dealing with 'fugitives'.
Although they were fake 'fugitives' with almost no risk factor, it was still better to err on the side of caution.
What the faculty and students needed to do was just keep an eye out and call the school leadership immediately if they spotted the targets.
The police would then carry out the arrest operation!
In the live stream chat:
"The older ginger is spicier indeed. Han Fei's move is brilliant, getting students to help search when surveillance can't find them."
"Now Xu Mo probably can't get ahead. Han Fei's advantage is too big."
"Why didn't I encounter such a great opportunity when I was in school? A thousand yuan reward just for providing useful information? Isn't that free money?"
