Chapter 74 - 74: The Missing Surveillance Images (There’s More to Come)
Ghosts were impossible.
But why was there no one in the video?
Chen Yan turned his head and looked at Ren Hongfeng with a serious expression.”” Wang Xuan just said that he didn’t find anyone in the video. Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true. I’ve seen the video too…”
Hmm?
Ren Hongfeng’s expression suddenly stiffened!
Tsk!
It was dark under the lights!
How could he miss such an important clue?
When the deceased left the livestream, she heard a knock on the door to get the express delivery.
Through the order information and contact number on the deceased’s phone, they found the delivery man.
They had already asked.
However, even the courier had been found, so why wasn’t he in the video?
“Team Leader Chen, this is our negligence. We missed this important clue!”
Since the delivery man really existed, there must be something wrong with the video.
“Wang Xuan, immediately organize people to investigate and interrogate the security guards on duty in the surveillance room that day. Find out what went wrong with the video!”
Wang Xuan wasn’t stupid. When Chen Yan asked, he also noticed the problem.
Such an obvious problem, why didn’t he notice it!
At this moment, Wang Xuan was extremely vexed.
Five days, a total of five days had passed!
Chen Yan patted Wang Xuan’s shoulder. “”This kind of neglect is a common thing. It’s not a problem with your sense of responsibility.”
” It’s the same as you smoking and looking for a lighter. The lighter is clearly in your hand, but you didn’t notice it.”
In reality, such things were not uncommon.
As he made the call, he looked for his phone. He held the key in his hand and looked around for the key…
Many people had experienced this kind of thing.
“Moreover…” Chen Yan looked up at the surveillance camera.”The problem shouldn’t be in the monitoring room, but here!”
Was that the problem?
Wang Xuan and Ren Hongfeng looked at Chen Yan in confusion.
The two of them looked up at the surveillance camera.
The camera was flashing red. It should be working normally.
What problem could there be?
Hehe, what problem?
In the eyes of ordinary people, there was no problem.
However, in Chen Yan’s eyes, the problem was huge.
As soon as he got off the elevator, Chen Yan opened his olfactory and visual gene locks.
The ventilation windows in the corridor were open, and there was no special smell.
Even though Chen Yan had opened the smell gene lock, he didn’t find anything unusual.
However, when he opened his eyes and looked at the surveillance camera, he saw a problem.
“Wang Xuan, bring a ladder over.”
Ladder?
Wang Xuan was stunned. He did not understand why Chen Yan wanted a ladder. He looked at Ren Hongfeng in confusion.
“What are you looking at me for?” Ren Hongfeng’s expression changed.
“Find a ladder!
“Oh, oh … I’ll go now, I’ll go now…”
Ren Hongfeng looked at Chen Yan in embarrassment.
” Team Leader Chen,” Ren Hongfeng’s old face was red.”We didn’t notice such a huge loophole. It’s all my negligence…Wang Xuan’s performance is actually not bad…”
“Captain Ren, you don’t have to do this.” Chen Yan smiled and waved his hand.
“Although the clues were discovered a little late, even if they were discovered at that time, it might not be of much use.”
“The other party must have planned this for a long time. It’s impossible for them to leave too many traces through this.”
Ren Hongfeng looked at Chen Yan with gratitude.
In the investigation, everyone had a division of labor.
Wang Xuan’s duty was to check and analyze the surveillance video.
In the end, such a big mistake had happened. Even a punishment was light.
However, just as Chen Yan had said, this was not caused by Wang Xuan’s subjective intention to make a mistake.
Moreover, Ren Hongfeng and the others, as the management, did not notice this problem. They indeed had to bear some responsibility.
As long as Chen Yan wrote down this matter, it would be fine if the case was solved. At most, Ren Hongfeng would not have any credit.
Wang Xuan gave him a chat and settled the matter.
However, if the case was not solved, the two of them would be the ones to take the blame.
And now, Chen Yan obviously did not want to dwell on this matter.
“Team Leader Chen, thank you!”
Ren Hongfeng bowed slightly and cupped his fists, expressing his sincere gratitude.
Chen Yan helped Ren Hongfeng up. “”We’re on the same side now. There’s no need to thank me…”
At this moment, Wang Xuan returned with a ladder.”Captain, the ladder is here.”
“Team Leader Chen, the ladder is ready.” Ren Hongfeng personally set up the ladder.
Chen Yan nodded and climbed up the ladder.
A moment later, Ren Hongfeng and Wang Xuan came forward to take a closer look.
It was actually a piece of paper that was less than the size of a fingernail. There was a pattern on it.
Miniature photo?” Ren Hongfeng noticed the pattern on the paper at a glance. It was the empty scene in this corridor.
” Yes. ” Chen Yan nodded.” It’s a miniature photo.”
“The other party pasted the photo on the camera in advance. This way, the image that the camera uploaded to the monitoring room is the picture of the photo.”
There are dozens of screens in the monitoring room. It’s impossible to find them in a short period of time.”
Wang Xuan looked at Chen Yan in surprise.
How did Chen Yan find a photo that was less than the size of a fingernail at a height of three meters?
Wang Xuan raised his head and looked at the camera. He realized that it was no different from before.
Actually, it was not Ren Hongfeng and the others ‘fault for not noticing.
The miniature photo that the other party made was double-sided.
On one side was the corridor control screen, facing the camera.
On the other end, it was the image of the surveillance camera.
A normal person would not notice anything different at first glance.
The production of this kind of thing was actually not difficult. It was very simple.
However, it took a lot of effort, especially to have a certain understanding of the surveillance video.
Otherwise, the size of the photo, the clarity of the image, and so on would affect the results of the video uploaded by the surveillance camera.
If it was too fake, it would be easy for the surveillance room to find out.
However, it was obvious that the murderer had put in a lot of effort.
After all, even Wang Xuan, the investigator, was fooled for a moment.
If Chen Yan hadn’t unlocked his vision gene lock, he wouldn’t have noticed this abnormality.
Putting the photo in the evidence bag, Chen Yan looked at Wang Xuan seriously. “”Immediately check all the surveillance videos from the day before the incident.”
“Since the other party can paste a miniature photo on the video surveillance camera, it’s very likely that they recorded some clues and found out!”
“Yes, sir!” Wang Xuan was currently holding back his anger. He thought to himself that he had to be serious this time and not make another low-level mistake.
Opening the door of Room 1201, Chen Yan began to officially investigate the crime scene.
Whoosh!
The thick smell of blood assailed his nostrils.
Fortunately, Chen Yan’s gene lock could be opened and closed at any time. Otherwise, the smell of blood would have made Chen Yan vomit.
The room wasn’t big. There was only one bedroom.
A screen blocked the inside, and the crime scene was outside.
Ren Hongfeng shook his head and said, “”At the time of the incident, the live broadcast camera was only a hair’s breadth away from here…”
Chen Yan suddenly realized that such a distance was probably less than five meters.
No wonder the voice in the video was so clear. It turned out that this room was so small.
The corpse had been moved away. On the ground, there was a sketch of the corpse.
Although the bloodstains around them had dried up, the smell of blood was still thick.
In order to protect the scene, the windows of the room were not opened.
Therefore, the smell of the scene was preserved to a certain extent.
Enduring the strong smell of blood, Chen Yan opened the smell gene lock.
The room was filled with a mixture of odors. There were dozens of human body odors.
In the past five days, in addition to the murderer and the deceased, there were also many detectives investigating the scene.
It was obviously impossible to track the murderer by human smell.
But apart from that, there was still a special smell that made Chen Yan alert!
