Originally, Xu Mo was thinking that relying on body shape and walking posture to identify someone might be inaccurate.
After all, it could be a coincidence, and Sun Jian might not be the cleaner they were looking for.
Even though the chances were slim, they couldn't rule out such a possibility.
However, with the addition of these shoes, Xu Mo could be certain that they hadn't found the wrong person.
Having the same body shape and walking posture could be a coincidence.
Wearing the same shoes could also be a coincidence.
But when these two factors were combined, the probability of it being a coincidence became extremely small, almost non-existent.
After changing his shoes, Sun Jian looked at the group.
"Alright, let's go."
"Let's go," Wang Dachuan nodded.
At that moment, a young woman walked out of the room. She had a sweet appearance, the girl-next-door type, but looked a bit listless.
"Brother, are you going out again?"
"Yes, my friends need me for something," Sun Jian turned to look at his sister. "I probably won't be able to have dinner with you. You should order takeout for yourself."
The girl looked at Sun Jian, then at Xu Mo and the others, and nodded obediently.
"Okay, come back early then."
Wang Dachuan and the other police officer didn't find anything amiss in this scene.
But Xu Mo kept staring at Sun Jian's sister with a thoughtful expression.
Seeing Xu Mo staring at the girl, Wang Dachuan quickly pulled him aside and whispered.
"Stop staring, it's not right to keep looking at a young lady like that. You're affecting our image as police officers!"
Xu Mo shrugged without saying anything and turned to leave.
"Remember to lock the door when you're home alone," Sun Jian reminded his sister before leaving.
"Mm-hmm."
At the elevator.
"Is Mr. Sun's sister single?" Xu Mo suddenly asked Sun Jian.
Wang Dachuan: "???"
What was going on?
They were here to investigate a case, not to find a girlfriend!
Xu Mo was being too inappropriate.
It was bad enough that he kept staring at the sister earlier.
Now he was directly asking if she was single. Was this appropriate???
Yes, Sun Jian's sister was indeed quite pretty.
But there was no need to go this far!
It's worth noting that after Xu Mo asked this question, a flash of anger crossed Sun Jian's face.
"That shouldn't be any of your business, should it?"
"Of course not, I was just asking casually," Xu Mo smiled.
Wang Dachuan immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
"Don't mind him, my colleague was just asking out of curiosity, he didn't mean anything by it. He tends to talk a lot."
He then gave Xu Mo a look, silently telling him to stop talking nonsense, as it wasn't making a good impression.
Sun Jian didn't respond.
Wang Dachuan laughed awkwardly and didn't say anything further.
He was thinking that they couldn't let Xu Mo's behavior affect people's perception of the police.
Mainly because Xu Mo's actions were indeed inappropriate.
They came to bring someone to the police station for questioning, and he kept staring at the man's sister?
And after staring, he even asked if she was single.
Is this how a police officer should behave?
Even if he was desperate for a girlfriend, he should show some restraint!
If it was really that bad, he could have said something, and Wang Dachuan could have tried to set him up with someone!
At this point, Wang Dachuan was already planning to report Xu Mo to Han Fei when they got back.
Han Fei must reprimand Xu Mo!
They couldn't let Xu Mo behave like this again during future operations.
It was making a really bad impression.
Due to this little incident, everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere became quite awkward.
Just then, Xu Mo spoke up again.
"Did Mr. Sun's sister recently break up with someone? She doesn't seem to be in a good state, did she just go through a breakup?"
Wang Dachuan: "???"
Again???
This was getting out of hand!
What, if she just broke up, you're ready to step in?
Brother, we're here to bring Sun Jian in for questioning, not to find you a girlfriend!
Why keep asking these irrelevant questions?
Whether she's single or just broke up, what does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with the case?
Why are you asking such nonsense!
Can't you focus on the matter at hand? Huh?
Hearing Xu Mo's words, Sun Jian glared at him fiercely.
"What's going on with my sister is none of your business. Don't you dare have any ideas about her."
Just as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened with a 'ding'.
The group prepared to enter the elevator to go downstairs.
Xu Mo continued with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn. From Mr. Sun's reaction, I can see that you care deeply about your sister."
Then, in a half-joking, half-serious tone, he asked.
"If Mr. Sun's sister was hurt by a scumbag, would you kill for her?"
Sun Jian, who was about to enter the elevator, visibly froze upon hearing this, his expression becoming very unnatural.
This time, the change in Sun Jian's expression was so obvious that even the other two police officers besides Xu Mo noticed it.
This expression was clearly problematic, very problematic!
Killing for his sister?
Wang Dachuan was shocked by Xu Mo's logic.
He looked at Xu Mo in surprise.
Recalling everything that had happened, Wang Dachuan's expression kept changing.
Sun Jian had a sister, and she was quite pretty, the type that most men would find attractive.
Moreover, she was young, with an innocent look, clearly inexperienced in the ways of the world, the kind that would be easy to deceive.
Combine this with Xu Mo's earlier question about whether Sun Jian's sister had recently gone through a breakup.
And the cold, fierce look on Sun Jian's face when Xu Mo mentioned his sister.
Didn't it all add up?
The sister was deceived by a scumbag, and the brother killed for revenge... it made sense!
Most brothers might not be so extreme.
But... when Xu Mo asked if Sun Jian would kill for his sister, Sun Jian's reaction was clearly off.
As a police officer, Wang Dachuan knew well that being a cop meant thinking more, considering more, and doubting more.
Whether it was right or wrong, even wild guesses were better than not guessing at all.
In many cases, they investigated with no leads at all.
To solve a murder case without clear evidence, they had to suspect everyone around the victim to have any chance of finding the real killer.
Without suspicion, they wouldn't even have a direction for investigation, after all, the murderer wouldn't just jump out and confess.
Only by constantly making guesses, suspecting, and then confirming or disproving them, could they solve the case.
Xu Mo, as a newcomer, actually had a broader perspective than him, a veteran officer!
Impressive!
Realizing this, Wang Dachuan's view of Xu Mo had completely changed.
He decided to take back his prejudices against Xu Mo.
When they got back to the police station, he wouldn't report to Han Fei anymore!
