"You said Nancheng has a solution?"
"What solution?"
Chen Yumin looked at Yang Guoming in surprise.
Beside him, Su Dahai and Wu Cheng'an also turned their gazes over.
This matter wasn't easy to resolve.
If it had been, they wouldn't all be so worried.
"Heh, you all know how we got those Fence Locations to talk, right?"
Yang Guoming grinned and said:
"Our station's Su Mo has some... special techniques when it comes to interrogation."
"Those thieves who won't cooperate? Just send Su Mo over—problem solved."
Yang Guoming had witnessed Su Mo in action the night before.
That guy interrogated over forty suspects on his own—and had them all fired up and spilling everything.
Handling a few uncooperative crooks now? That's child's play in comparison.
He was confident in Su Mo's abilities.
"Yang Guoming, today's situation isn't the same as interrogation—it's mainly about guidance and persuasion."
"Even if Su Mo's good at interrogation, it doesn't mean he can do counseling."
Su Dahai interjected.
He'd heard about Su Mo's interrogation feats over the phone with Yang Guoming yesterday.
But he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and honestly... he had a hard time believing his son was that capable.
"Su Mo? That young guy who caught over forty thieves?"
It was the first time Chen Yumin had heard of this, and he was genuinely impressed:
"Su Mo's got a lot up his sleeve, huh? Not just good at catching crooks, but interrogating them too?"
"Guoming, are you sure about this?"
"Rest assured, sir!"
Yang Guoming stood straight and replied solemnly:
"If things go sideways, you can hold me fully accountable!"
Chen Yumin nodded.
Time was running out—dawn was fast approaching. They could only give Su Mo a try.
Without hesitation, Yang Guoming started contacting Su Mo.
...
Yongkang Supermarket
Su Mo led four team members and quickly located the target site.
The supermarket owner, who'd been fencing stolen goods, was initially uncooperative.
But under Su Mo's brief persuasion, the man caved quickly and got everything done.
This scene made Liu Yan and the others look at Su Mo with newfound respect.
They'd assumed Su Mo was just a rookie with a fancy team leader title, and they'd have to carry him.
Turns out, Su Mo had real skills.
From that moment, they dropped all their preconceived notions about the "newbie cop."
Now, everything was ready—they just had to wait till dawn and spring the trap.
But right then, Su Mo's earpiece buzzed with Yang Guoming's voice:
"Su Mo, there's been a change of plans."
"Leave your current location immediately. Head to Old Residential House No. 137—it's a high-priority Fence Location."
"The suspect there is being uncooperative. Go talk to him."
"Move quickly. Two more locations are waiting after that."
Su Mo blinked but didn't ask questions—he knew time was tight.
"Yes, sir!"
He gave Liu Yan and the others a quick explanation and set off for the new location.
"Su Mo's not simple, huh? Looks like he's about to earn more merit again."
Watching Su Mo disappear into the distance, Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The other young officers looked on with envy.
But hey—what could they say? The guy had real talent...
Meanwhile, Su Mo exited the supermarket and headed toward the new location.
The Old Residential House complex was large, with narrow, twisting alleys.
Fortunately, Su Mo was a local and knew the area well—otherwise, he'd have gotten lost for sure.
Still, it took him nearly twenty minutes to get there.
The place turned out to be a junkyard.
Su Mo stepped inside and, after a brief conversation with a few waiting officers, found the thief who'd been fencing stolen goods.
Then he started his talk.
To be honest, this kind of thing was no challenge to Su Mo at all.
The guy wasn't even hardened—just scared after being caught off guard.
Remove the fear, offer some guidance, and he'd cooperate easily.
In other words... it was a hustle.
And Su Mo? A master of the craft.
Within ten minutes—less time than it took to walk there—the suspect was fully cooperative.
The advanced psychological tricks recorded in the Speech Master system were no joke.
This situation? Absolute overkill.
After solving this case, Su Mo immediately rushed to the next location.
Back at HQ, Chen Yumin and the others, who had been monitoring the whole conversation, were stunned.
They heard everything Su Mo said via the surveillance equipment.
"Yang Guoming... this Su Mo... What did he do before joining the force?"
Wu Cheng'an stared at Yang Guoming, wide-eyed.
That wasn't "guidance"—that was full-on scamming.
He sounded exactly like those shady pyramid scheme ringleaders they used to bust.
Even Su Dahai was silent, looking utterly confused.
He remembered his son being a model student before the academy...
How did a few years in police school turn him into this?
Not only could he pick locks like a pro, now he could talk people into anything?
"What the hell are they teaching at that police academy?!"
Su Dahai was now seriously questioning whether his son had gone to the right school...
Chen Yumin wore a complicated expression.
In his decades in the force, he'd seen all types of officers.
Slow ones, sharp ones—even the occasional genius.
But Su Mo?
A true anomaly.
A rare talent... who seemed to have leveled up the wrong skill tree.
"Ah, don't worry about what methods Su Mo uses."
"Black cat or white cat—as long as it catches the mouse, it's a good cat!"
Seeing everyone's expressions, Yang Guoming got a little anxious:
"Chief, you've gotta record Su Mo's contribution here."
"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have broken any of those Fence Locations. And now he's handling emergencies on top of that!"
"A third-class merit at least, right?"
Originally, Yang Guoming just wanted Su Mo to act as squad leader and catch a few thieves—so he could request some credit from the higher-ups.
Now that the thief-catching would be delayed, he couldn't let this persuasion gig go unrewarded.
"Heh, don't worry—I'm taking note."
"If we manage to catch Wang Meng today, and it leads us to Wang Hu and the murder case is solved, Su Mo will definitely earn third-class merit."
Chen Yumin smirked at the anxious Yang Guoming:
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think Su Mo was your nephew or something."
"And hey—if we manage to classify it as a group merit, Nancheng's budget problem could get a whole lot better."
Su Dahai's mouth twitched.
Su Mo had no blood relation to Yang Guoming.
But he himself was Su Mo's father.
To avoid any perception of bias, he'd deliberately stayed quiet about his son's achievements.
Not that it mattered.
When it came to lobbying the higher-ups, Yang Guoming was miles ahead of him.
"Heh, c'mon, Chief! Don't make it sound like Su Mo's merit means Nancheng gets nothing out of it."
Yang Guoming grinned like a sly old fox.
"You sly bastard, you were waiting for me to say that, weren't you?"
Chen Yumin couldn't help but laugh and curse.
Wu Cheng'an, meanwhile, looked at Yang Guoming with open disdain.
He really despised shameless types like this.
...But damn, he was jealous.
The sudden crisis had been resolved, so everyone was in a fairly good mood.
Just then, a message came from the officers on the front lines.
"Reporting! We've spotted Wang Meng!"
"He's at Yongkang Supermarket—currently shopping!"
"Awaiting instructions—should we begin the arrest?"
