Mu Jiahe slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "What else is there to say? This matter definitely has something to do with him."
The person said innocently, "I really don't know. I'm new here. I was only told during the pre-job training that the monitoring room is a restricted area and no one is allowed to operate the computer privately."
Xiao Xun waved his hand. "Take him away first! You all wait. Give me some time, and I'll make him accept it willingly."
After the police took everyone away, Xiao Xun began his operation. The first thing he did was to tilt the monitoring camera behind him so that it faced the ceiling.
Then he sat in front of the computer, wanting to connect the computer to the internet without a network cable. This might have been impossible before, but now it was very easy. As long as a portable wireless network adapter, the size of a card reader, was used, the computer could be connected to the internet.
Xiao Xun first checked the computer's network connection records. As expected, there were records. He used his phone to take pictures of the computer screen.
As long as the time period was clarified and it was known who was in the monitoring room, the killer or accomplice could be identified.
What needed to be done now was to restore the data. He cloned the storage hard drive and then proceeded to reveal hidden files. Through a series of operations, he organized and copied the data channels one by one, restoring the fragmented data bit by bit into the designated folder.
It took more than an hour. During this time, the police opened the door a few times. Seeing Xiao Xun busy, they didn't disturb him further.
The data was fully restored. He first checked the monitoring time to see who was in the monitoring room during that period and who had made the suspicious move.
However, after looking, he was surprised to find that it wasn't the person who had been clamoring just now, but someone he had never seen before.
And the person who had been clamoring with Xiao Xun had not entered the monitoring room at all from last night until the incident.
Xiao Xun then checked the surveillance footage around the villa where he lived. To his surprise, Yun Mei had left on her own.
What's more, she acted like a thief, glancing around at every step she took, and then hiding in a blind spot. Due to privacy concerns, that area was not under surveillance, so nothing could be seen.
Xiao Xun checked the approximate time and the location of the villa, recorded it, and then checked the surveillance footage of the garbage collection area. Electric garbage trucks collected the garbage uniformly and dumped it into the garbage pool all at once. If the bag containing Yun Mei's body had not broken, this matter might have been treated as a missing person case.
Because the large mud trucks would directly lift the garbage pool and send it to the incineration plant, they would not check what was inside.
After checking what he wanted to know, Xiao Xun restored the monitoring camera to its original position.
When he walked out, the police immediately surrounded him. "How is it? Was it restored?"
Seeing the police more anxious than himself, Xiao Xun didn't suspect or question them. He just told them what he had captured on his phone, along with his suspicions.
Looking at the person they had apprehended, the police asked, "So, this person has no problems?"
Xiao Xun nodded and replied, "At least in the surveillance footage, there are no problems."
Mu Jiahe looked at the person from earlier impatiently. "You have nothing to do with this, why are you making a fuss?"
The person still looked wronged. "I told you I was framed. My captain told me to do this."
The security captain's face flushed. He sputtered, "You, why are you so stubborn? Did I say that?"
Seeing that the person was about to speak again, the security captain coughed hard and then lowered his voice, saying, "Shut up."
The police took Xiao Xun's phone and asked the security captain, "Is this person on your security team?"
The security captain nodded vigorously. "That's right. I'll call him now."
The police and Xiao Xun shouted at the same time, "No, don't call!"
This startled the security captain, making him tremble. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xun said, "If you contact him directly, won't you alert the culprit!"
The police officers nodded in unison, then asked the security captain for the person's contact information and home address. They said to Xiao Xun, "The body has been temporarily placed in the morgue of the Central Hospital. We hope you will contact the deceased's direct relatives as soon as possible, and our forensic doctors will perform an autopsy to determine the cause and time of death."
Xiao Xun felt annoyed. How could he explain this to his mother!
However, he still nodded. "Okay, I'll contact them now."
Xiao Xun dialed his mother's number.
"It's about time you remembered to call your old mother."
Xiao Xun remained silent, unsure how to begin.
There was a moment of silence on the other end. "Why are you calling so early in the morning? Is something wrong?"
"Mom~"
Xiao Xun's voice was a little choked. His mother also sensed that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Just say it."
Xiao Xun pursed his lips. "Who else is in Yun Mei's family? Are my brother and sister-in-law still there?"
His mother looked confused. "Why are you asking this so early in the morning? What happened to Yun Mei?"
"She... she's dead."
"What!!!"
A tumultuous roar came from the other end. "What happened? The person was fine with you, how could she die?"
"The police are investigating. I don't know either."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then Xiao Xun's father took the phone. "Xiao Xun, I entrusted a living person to you, how could you let your niece have an accident? How will I explain this to your second uncle?"
Xiao Xun swallowed hard. "Dad, I didn't want this to happen, Yun Mei she..."
"Alright, stop talking. We're on our way now. You wait there and don't go anywhere."
After that, without waiting for Xiao Xun to speak, he hung up the phone.
Xiao Xun looked at the disconnected phone and clenched his fist fiercely, shouting in his heart: Whoever did this, they must pay the price.
He initially thought that Yun Mei was assassinated by a mysterious person, just like when he met her here. Later, he was often in another world and didn't pay much attention.
But after checking the surveillance footage, he saw Yun Mei voluntarily leaving the villa and knew that things were not that simple.
The police conducted a brief inquiry, copied the restored content from Xiao Xun, and then went to investigate the villa.
The residents of this place were all wealthy and powerful in the city, so they could not be easily offended.
However, Yun Mei's identity was special, and Mu Jiahe had vowed to the police investigating the case, "No matter who is involved in this, the truth must be revealed."
Setting aside Yun Mei's identity, a murder case in such a community would also be bad for the community itself.
Secretary Fan had been following Xiao Xun, remaining silent and staying close.
Mu Jiahe was unhappy and stood in front of Secretary Fan. "Why are you following us all the time?"
Secretary Fan blinked her large, watery eyes and said with an innocent expression, "I'm not doing anything."
Mu Jiahe showed a look of disgust, thinking: A person in their fifties still pretending to be pure, what a 'green tea bitch'.
And Secretary Fan, behind Xiao Xun's back, had an expression that said, "What can you do to me?", showing extreme arrogance.
As a ruler of the country, Mu Jiahe naturally had ways to deal with such people.
Xiao Xun followed the police to the villa. The person who opened the door was actually the little girl holding the Totoro.
She looked at the stern-faced crowd at the door with innocent eyes. "Who are you looking for?"
A police officer stepped forward. "Little sister, are your adults at home?"
The little girl turned and called out, "Mom!"
A middle-aged woman wearing armbands, who was cleaning the house, came over. Seeing that they were police officers, she showed a surprised expression. "May I ask what's the matter?"
