Some plainclothes didn't understand, "Team Han, what should we do?"
Han Fei asked, "Do you know why we call it Operation Skynet?"
"Why?"
"Because we have a very sophisticated Skynet system."
"No matter how cunning the criminals are, it's difficult for them to escape the tracking of Skynet technology."
"The net of law is sparse but let's nothing through. If you want to commit crimes in this day and age, it's not that easy!"
Han Fei narrowed his eyes slightly and got into the car, looking very confident.
"Let's go back."
"And show everyone what Skynet technology is."
"What it is, is the net of law!"
"No matter how cunning he is, he can't flip the sky over."
Han Fei took his people back to headquarters.
They came to a large hall with many office areas. At the very front of the hall was an extremely large screen.
"Activate Skynet."
"Check footage from Wanda Plaza Street to 2nd Street from 9 pm onwards, compare all pedestrian images with Xu Mo's image, and lock down Xu Mo's location."
"Xu Mo's ID number, 1307891..."
The show crew blocked out the rest of the ID number, leaving only the beeping sound, so viewers couldn't hear it clearly. This was the show's way of intelligently protecting Xu Mo's privacy, since Xu Mo was still a guest at this point, not an actual fugitive.
The screen read "Activating Skynet..."
Countless facial images flashed by. "Retrieving all of Xu Mo's personal information."
"Locking personal data files..."
"Building information model..."
"Model built successfully."
Snap!
A portrait of Xu Mo appeared on the screen, along with full body shots and various information.
However, most of the information was encrypted with *** that required access permissions to view.
It's not something that can be seen just because you want to see it.
"Commencing search and match..."
On the left side of the screen was Xu Mo's portrait.
While on the right were facial and body scans of all the people captured on surveillance cameras in the area Han Fei mentioned that passed by.
These two sides were then matched against each other.
There was a similarity percentage in the middle that kept jumping.
The matching speed was extremely fast.
The facial scans on the right side were switching rapidly.
The percentage similarity in the middle was jumping like milliseconds.
The human eye simply couldn't keep up.
This made the audience exclaim in wonder.
"Wow, they went straight to using national high tech!"
"Is this the legendary Skynet system?"
"This thing should be a supercomputer, right?"
"It must contain files and information like everyone's records, DNA, fingerprints, facial data etc inside."
"Damn, whipping this thing out, who could still get away?"
"That's right, there are cameras everywhere nowadays. This is like swatting ants with a cannon."
"Even with Xu Mo's high IQ, it'd be very difficult for him to escape now."
It was as if responding to the audience's guesses.
The fluctuating similarity percentage in the middle soon stopped.
The footage was frozen.
The camera on the right had locked onto a young masked man carrying a travel bag.
Similarity: 100%!
"Xu Mo, found you."
Han Fei said, "Track Xu Mo's current location."
The footage violently flashed again as countless surveillance cameras were accessed and searched.
Soon, a map route appeared.
However, this route was disjointed and broken up.
"Just the general area, but that's good enough," Han Fei nodded. "This guy really is clever, taking all the small paths without cameras wherever possible."
"Even when he passes cameras, he uses blind spots to avoid detection."
"Just having such strong observational skills and memory is already quite incredible. What a talent."
"Why did he go into finance instead? Someone like him should've studied criminal investigation!!"
The audience cracked up. "Damn, this is searching for a criminal? This is headhunting!"
"Xu Mo probably never expected that instead of pursuing him, the veteran detective has taken a liking to him and wants to headhunt him hahaha."
"But it's true, it'd be very difficult for an average person to completely map out a district with cameras in a single day."
"Most importantly, Xu Mo seems to have slipped by even in areas with cameras. That's just badass."
"But Xu Mo's location has been pinned down now."
"It'd be very difficult for him to leave at this point."
Han Fei looked at the map on screen, his gaze quickly locking onto a café.
"If I'm not wrong, they should be using this place as a base."
"Move out, seal off this area."
"Focus the search around this café."
If Xu Mo was there, he'd probably be quite surprised too.
Because the cafe Han Fei mentioned was the one they were hiding in that day.
There weren't many cameras around this area.
Plus this cafe was relatively obscure with low visitor traffic.
After checking the vicinity, it was the most suitable hiding spot he found.
Most importantly, this cafe had a very covert route leading to Wanda Plaza.
Allowing him to safely withdraw after obtaining the money.
...
On the other side, in the cafe.
By now, it was almost 10 pm.
Only Xu Mo and Yang Jingxuan were left in the cafe.
"Sir, we're closing."
A waitress came over and said.
Xu Mo replied, "Oh, I know."
"We'll leave soon."
After the waitress left, Yang Jingxuan turned around, "Where can we go?"
"You've really scammed the show team out of 500k today. The investigation team will surely get serious now."
"Your ID card and documents can't be used anymore."
"I'm afraid we've got nowhere left to go."
"We might even get caught by midnight."
Xu Mo seemed to be looking elsewhere.
"Then you're looking down on me huh?"
"Just wait awhile more."
Yang Jingxuan pouted, "Wait more, the police will be here by the time we're done waiting."
But she didn't say much more. Xu Mo's performance today had caught her quite off guard, she was rather impressed with him now.
She'll just listen to whatever Xu Mo says.
Xu Mo didn't reply because he was making a choice.
"You successfully outwitted the show team and investigation team, gaining the reward to choose one of the following:"
"1: Master-level driving skills."
"2: Expert-level forgery techniques"
"3: A combat tank"
"4: A highly confidential black card."
Master-level driving skills?
That didn't seem too bad.
With driving skills, he could go Fast and Furious.
Give me a car and I'll leave the investigation team in the dust.
Go street racing with a hot girl, how cool would that be.
And a tank would be even more badass!
Simply preposterous.
This would definitely make headlines.
So.
"I choose expert-level forgery techniques."
Come on, choosing master-level driving skills would be useless now!
Do I look like a donkey brain to you?
Even if I wanted some excitement, I wouldn't choose driving skills to go street racing.
No matter how awesome the skills, cars can't fly.
Being surrounded by cops in cars, there'd still be no escape.
The investigation team will surely conduct a massive manhunt now.
And he had no idea how to operate a tank.
Who chose that, instant death!
After considering everything, only expert-level forgery techniques were most suitable for Xu Mo now.
