Chapter 144: Doubts
Parker quickly walked inside, the furnishings were simple, and the house itself was not large. It is a single room. Not far from the door is a small hall, a toilet and a kitchen, and then a small bedroom.
Parker took off his coat and placed a bag on the table. Then he took out a digital video recorder and a few memory cards. Then he took out a notebook from the bedroom, put it on the table, put the memory card into the card reader, and inserted it into the USB port of the laptop. After reading the data from the memory card, the computer screen played a video of the white Toyota car recorded along the way.
Parker looked at it while remembering the person he had sent before and his own report, first of all, this way was normal, there were no accidents, which means that Adar Hassan, who had planned to meet the joint, should not have missed the appointment because of an accident. Secondly, in Novoco, it was reported that it was also very calm, and nothing was found, especially at 33 Foster Road and 42 Palomar Road, which are to be of particular importance. This made Parker nervous, because this was the most abnormal part.
Parker retracted his thoughts and focused his attention on the screen, which was now in the direction of the front of the car, and at this moment it was already in Novoko. Parker had been to that place, and had been there more than once, and had seen it many times, both inside and out, so it was easy to identify the place in the frame.
I saw that the Novoko in the picture was indeed the same as the person he sent to Novoko to reconnoitre, and the cars and people on the road were still the same, not particularly few, not particularly many. The occasional pedestrian on the side of the road is also very laid-back, and it doesn't look like a detective or something like that. In short, everything is similar to what I remember, and I can't see anything abnormal.
After a while, the picture came to No. 33, the gate was still very clean, the crossbar of the access control was blocked in front of the door, and it was vaguely seen that there were still security personnel standing at the door. Nothing different. Soon after, I came to 42 Palomar Road, which is in front of the apartment building.
The road in front of the building is the same as before, there is no difference, there are several cars with Los Angeles license plates parked in the parking space on the side of the road, there are two people walking along the side of the road, everything is normal and nothing can be seen. But Parker inexplicably felt that the atmosphere here was a little weird. When the screen left No. 42, Parker turned off the video and picked up the digital video camera in his hand and put it on.
This is a completely different angle from the previous image on the laptop, which was taken to the left in the direction of the car. In other words, shooting from this angle will capture the front of the two buildings, 33 Foster Road and 42 Palomar Road. Reading nests
Parker didn't have the patience to start from the beginning, but fast-forwarded to the 33rd before stopping. I saw that the No. 33 gate in the picture slowly appeared in front of me, and from this angle, I could clearly see the guards standing at the door, and the road near the gate in No. 33 was already part of the image of the main building.
Parker pressed pause, then backtracked the footage, watched it again, and then again, and after three or four repetitions, he found a doubt. It was the bus he remembered near the gate that was used to park and transport people to and from 42 Palomar Road and here was not in that position, and in that part of the image of the main building, which was flashing, it seemed as if the lights on the upper floor were not turned on. In my memory, I went to that neighborhood several times, and the lights in the main building were all on, and I don't remember that there was a situation where the lights were not on.
Seeing this, Parker couldn't help frowning, and at the same time, the speed of his heart beating was noticeably faster. Because in his opinion, if he hadn't remembered it by mistake or that there had been some temporary change there, then there must have been a problem with this place, and it is likely that the person who was supposed to come to work on the 33rd did not come at all, and the bus might still be there at the 42nd... Where is this car parked? Parker quickly recalled in his mind where the minibus was parked at 42.
It seems to be near the east, in an alley. Yes, there is also this surveillance on that alley, right in front of the location where the minibus parked.
Thinking of this, Parker immediately fast-forwarded a section and directly fast-forwarded the image to the place near No. 42. Then he slowed down and looked closely. I saw the appearance of Building 42 in the picture, and at the door, you can see that the access control is closed, and you can vaguely see someone inside, but this is normal, it should be the security there. But soon Parker noticed something unusual, that is, upstairs here, where not only were many of the rooms lit up, but there were also figures in some of the windows. What does this mean? This means that people here don't go to work at all!
At this moment, Parker can already be sure that something is wrong here, and it can already be determined that something is definitely going on. However, he continued to look down, and after a while, the alley with the minibus was parked, but it was not only the minibus parked there, but there were other cars, and it seemed that there was more than one.
Seeing this, Parker pressed the pause. Look no further, it's now certain that something is going on there. Judging by the vehicles, there were already outsiders who had crept into the place and cordoned off the place. It is not known exactly why, let alone if it has something to do with what he and Adar Hassan did. Thinking of this, Parker thought carefully about the situation of his contact with Adar Hassan from the previous to the present, and came to the conclusion that there should be no problem, no problem at all. Not only did there be no mistakes, but even Hassan shouldn't have any loopholes to be caught, after all, the connector didn't carry any equipment that could be used to record or store, but the memory ability of his brain was restored after meeting. So there's no way to find out, and there shouldn't be a problem at all.
Parker took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked while thinking, it is likely that there is something else that caused the two places to be locked down, because if Adar Hassan had an accident, the first person to be implicated should be Casey Chen, after all, it is Casey that Adar Hassan wants to see today, and this alone is enough to launch a comprehensive investigation against Casey. But I stood there for almost a day and didn't find anything at all, let alone the plainclothes spies, not even the patrolling policemen themselves.
