BXBX NOVEL Chapter 622 - 622: Surveillance Screen
On the way, Lin Nan asked worriedly, “You say…Could this person be Shen
Lingxue?”
“Why would you think that?” Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
“I just remembered that the internet cafe is very close to Shen Lingxue’s school. Ever since you told me about Shen Lingxue’s past, I’ve stopped funding her. I’ve changed it to a young lady who’s in a more difficult situation.”
Lin Nan paused for a moment and muttered to himself, “I was just thinking, could it be her? However, I only stopped funding her and didn’t say why. She probably doesn’t know about our relationship, right?”
“I can’t be sure. We’ll only know when we get there.” Ji Yuanyuan shook her
head.
The two of them quickly arrived at the internet cafe.
It was a relatively small internet cafe. The moment Ji Yuanyuan entered, he looked around, and her heart sank.
This internet cafe was small in scale, the facilities were old, and no cameras were installed.
However, Ji Yuanyuan did not give up and went to ask the staff, “Excuse me, have you installed a camera here?
“No, I didn’t.” The manager immediately shook his head.
Hearing this, Lin Nan said to Ji Yuanyuan in a low voice with some disappointment, “It’s difficult without a camera. Even if we call the police, it’s probably useless. That person must be very cautious. That account should not be a real name.”
When the manager heard the words ‘call the police’, his expression didn’t seem right.
“Give me a seat first,” Ji Yuanyuan said deliberately. “Can I choose my own seat?”
The manager seemed to heave a sigh of relief and nodded, “Of course you can.”
Ji Yuanyuan said to Lin Nan, “I’ll go find a better seat.”
She turned around and looked around.
There were only a dozen machines inside, and the place was quite spacious.
When Ji Yuanyuan turned to a corner, she looked at the back of the computer and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that Ji Yuanyuan was still standing there, the staff urged, “Have you chosen?”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the back of the computer and then at the entrance of the Internet cafe. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face.
“Boss, what is this?” Ji Yuanyuan pointed at a red dot on the back of the computer and asked.
When the manager saw where Ji Yuanyuan’s fingers were, his expression changed, “Get lost, get lost. Why are the two of you so busy? I’m not doing business with you anymore. Get lost.”
Lin Nan had never been scolded like this before. He immediately put her hands on her waist and said, “Who are you scolding? We’re just asking. What are you feeling guilty about?”
Although Lin Nan did not know what Yuanyuan had discovered, she could tell from the manager’s reaction he was feeling guilty.
The staff immediately came out from behind the bar counter and reached out to push Lin Nan, “I think you’re here to cause trouble, right? Hurry up and get lost. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Ji Yuanyuan quickly went forward. Before the staff could touch Lin Nan, she reached out and pushed him back.
The manager staggered a few steps and only managed to stand up when he leaned against the wall.
“If you guys cause trouble again, I’ll call the police!” A man was almost pushed down by a young lady. He felt embarrassed and immediately threatened her.
“Call the police? Do you dare to call the police? You should know what the pinhole camera recorded, right?” Ji Yuanyuan said coldly.
When Lin Nan heard this, she looked in the direction where Ji Yuanyuan was standing in surprise.
So, that red dot was a pinhole camera?
The manager was still stubborn, “What else can I film? I’ll just film the door.” Ji Yuanyuan pulled Lin Nan behind her and put on a fake smile, “Looking at your attitude, if I want to see the contents of the surveillance camera, you won’t let me see it, right? Why don’t I call the police?
The manager’s expression changed drastically. He was about to make a move, but when he thought of the two moves just now, he did not dare to make a move in the end.
The young lady in front of him clearly knew some martial arts.
It was a little embarrassing to say it out loud. He might not be able to beat her.
Therefore, a wise man knew how to adapt to the times.
“What do you two want?” After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and asked.
“We just want to see the surveillance camera at around 11 o’clock last night to find out who was here.” Ji Yuanyuan did not pester him further and directly stated his purpose for coming.
“If I let you see, can you pretend you don’t know what happened today?” The manager asked again.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded, “As long as you don’t do it in the future, we can pretend that we don’t know.”
The manager heaved a sigh of relief, and his tone softened, “Alright, I can show you the surveillance footage.”
The manager immediately sat down next to the computer. With the mouse in his hand, he began looking for the computer’s surveillance video.
“Don’t try to play any tricks,” Ji Yuanyuan warned him. “Even if you delete the video, the police still have a way to recover it.
She opened her mouth to scare the manager.
The internet cafe could have installed a regular camera, but he had installed a pinhole camera.
Moreover, the position of the pinhole camera looked a little strange. Therefore, the purpose of the internet cafe’s manager installing this pinhole camera was definitely not simple.
Now that he was being threatened, he likely would delete the video while Ji Yuanyuan was not paying attention.
It would be difficult for Ji Yuanyuan to find the person who was messing with her behind her back.
When the manager heard this, his expression turned ugly, “I’m afraid of you. Find what you want and leave quickly.”
He flipped through the computer for a while and quickly said, “This is the surveillance footage from 10:50 p.m. last night. Take a look for yourself.” Ji Yuanyuan, who was standing behind the manager, rushed forward and stared at the computer.
The pinhole camera was a little lower, so the image was not very complete. No one came to the front until around 11:10 p.m. Then, a woman in a black dress walked in.
As the picture went up, only her lips could be seen.
“Was she the only one who came here around eleven o’clock last night? Do you still remember what she looks like?” Ji Yuanyuan asked.
After being scared, the manager’s attitude became much better, “There were quite a few students who stayed up all night at the internet cafe last night, but they all came early in the morning. Around eleven o’clock… She really came alone. I remember that she didn’t stay long before leaving.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and continued watching the surveillance footage.
After the woman passed through the door, she did not appear for a long time. It was not until 20 minutes later that she appeared on camera again.
This time, she left the internet cafe. When she left, her back was facing the camera, and she did not show her face.
Ji Yuanyuan rewound the video to the scene where the woman had just entered the room.
This was the only time the woman showed her face.
Ji Yuanyuan froze the video and zoomed in after taking a screenshot.
“It doesn’t look like Shen Lingxue!” Lin Nan muttered.
Although only her mouth was exposed, it didn’t look like it..
