At this moment, the expressions on the police officers' faces were as colorful as they could be.
You call yourself a decent person?
How can a decent person be someone's godfather!?
And calling her "baby" all the time?
An old bull eating tender grass, shameless!
Ptui!
In the eyes of the police officers,
This old man might as well have had "indecent" written on his face!
He was far from being decent!
Of course, no matter how indecent he was, it wasn't the police officers' business.
After all, becoming someone's godfather wasn't illegal.
The police had no right to interfere.
Han Fei naturally didn't bother to refute the old man's claim of being a decent person.
Instead, he took out his phone, found photos of the two fugitives, and showed them to the pair.
"We're hunting two fugitives. Have you seen these two people?"
Old man: "Never seen them."
Woman: "I have!"
Their answers were completely inconsistent.
Realizing that her answer contradicted the old man's, the woman quickly explained.
"I've seen these two, they live next door to me, but my godfather doesn't come here often, so he probably hasn't seen them."
Han Fei nodded.
The woman's response didn't arouse his suspicion.
Because the relationship between this man and woman didn't look very proper.
It was clearly a lover's relationship, so it was normal that the old man didn't come here often.
Therefore, it was reasonable for them to give completely opposite answers.
He continued to ask,
"Have you seen these two people today?"
The woman shook her head: "No."
Han Fei was a veteran detective with years of experience.
He could tell at a glance that the woman wasn't lying; she really hadn't seen the two fugitives today.
But what Han Fei worried about was another possibility: that the two fugitives had climbed over the balcony to the next apartment and hidden, and the woman said she hadn't seen them because she hadn't discovered them yet.
So he proposed the idea of going inside to take a look.
"Would it be alright if we came in to have a look?"
Hearing this, the woman instinctively looked at the old man beside her.
Although the old man seemed a bit reluctant, he still agreed: "Alright."
After getting permission, Han Fei led the police officers into the room.
They searched the living room and each bedroom one by one.
On the bed in the master bedroom, there were all kinds of toys and some clothes laid out.
The police officers were stunned by the sight.
They couldn't help but look at the old man.
Thinking to themselves that although this old man wasn't young, he sure had a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
After checking everything, they found that the two fugitives weren't hiding in the room, so the police officers gave up.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Sorry for the disturbance. If you see these two people again, be sure to contact the police immediately," Han Fei said to the two before leaving.
"Okay," the woman nodded.
Then, Han Fei led the police officers away.
They had already checked room 2010 to the left of 2011, and found nothing suspicious.
Having checked the left side, they naturally had to check the right side.
Next, he would go to check room 2012 on the right side of 2011.
As soon as the police officers left, the door of room 2010 closed immediately.
Shen Manyi frowned.
"Did anyone else feel that the woman's behavior wasn't very natural? From the moment we entered, she seemed a bit panicked."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Ke replied with a smile.
"It's normal for her to panic. She's being kept by a man about the same age as her father, and we caught them in the act. How could she not panic? Besides, even normal people who aren't doing anything wrong would instinctively panic in a situation where a bunch of police officers show up at their door."
After hearing Chen Ke's words, Shen Manyi nodded: "That's true."
The group arrived at the door of room 2012 and knocked again.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally came to open the door.
This time, it was a man who opened the door. From his appearance, he seemed to have just woken up; he had been awakened by the knocking.
"Who the hell are you? Is it a matter of life and death on a weekend? Can't you let people sleep? Knock, knock, knock! Are you in a hurry to be reborn?"
...
Meanwhile.
In room 2010.
As soon as the police officers left,
The woman immediately separated from the old man.
With a pleading and submissive tone.
"Brother, I did everything you said, please spare me..."
This old man was actually Xu Mo.
Earlier, he had deliberately used a disguise technique to make himself up to look like an old man.
It was because he was afraid the Investigation Team might come to take a look.
Who would have thought his guess would be right, the Investigation Team really did come knocking.
As for why the woman was so afraid of Xu Mo... Xu Mo had a gun!
At first, when Xu Mo said he wouldn't hurt her if she cooperated obediently, she thought Xu Mo was here to rob her or take advantage of her.
Looking at Xu Mo's face, she felt it wouldn't be a loss to be robbed or taken advantage of.
She even had a bit of anticipation in her heart, forgetting to be afraid.
After all, Xu Mo was much more handsome and younger than her affair partner!
But then Xu Mo took out his gun and pointed it at her head.
Of course, this gun wasn't that "gun"...
It wasn't the one between the legs, but a real gun, a handgun!
The woman was stunned.
A feeling of terror instantly surged in her heart.
She thought, it's just robbery or taking advantage, why bring out a gun?
Isn't that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?
She hadn't said she wouldn't cooperate!
Then, Xu Mo told her that he was here to hide from the police.
And he threatened the woman that if the police came to the door, she must help him cover up.
If she didn't do as Xu Mo said, he would shoot without hesitation.
Even if he got caught, he would drag the woman down with him.
This was why the woman had been so cooperative earlier.
To the extent that she didn't dare to call for help when she saw the police.
Instead, she very cooperatively acted out a play with Xu Mo.
She was afraid that if she didn't perform well enough and exposed Xu Mo, he would get angry and shoot her.
...
Looking at the woman in front of him, whose body was shaking like a sieve, Xu Mo smiled.
"What are you nervous about? I told you I wouldn't hurt you as long as you cooperated. Don't be afraid, I keep my word. You've already cooperated with me in acting out a play, I definitely won't hurt you. I'll leave once the police outside are gone."
He never intended to hurt anyone in the first place.
Taking out the gun earlier to scare her was just to force the woman to comply.
Moreover, his gun was loaded with rubber bullets. It wouldn't be easy to kill someone with that kind of bullet.
After a pause, Xu Mo looked at the woman and spoke again.
"You told the police earlier that you've seen those two next door. Are you familiar with them?"
The woman immediately shook her head: "I've only seen them a few times, I don't even know their names."
Xu Mo sighed helplessly.
He had originally thought that if this woman was very familiar with the two fugitives next door, he might be able to try to learn how to open the secret room next door from her.
But now it seemed he would have to rely on himself.
"Do you have a fairly large hammer in your house?"
