Chapter 12: Mysterious Video

The air conditioner is still turned on so fully that it makes people feel like they don't want to move when they sit down, which is very pleasant.

Lin Yuansi just wanted to close his eyes and close his eyes for a while, but he didn't know where to come from, and the uninteresting guy interrupted Lin Yuansi's rest with a voice.

"Captain!" People shout as they walk, and the whole office can hear them.

Lin Yuansi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and opened his mouth to ask what was the matter. But I silently muttered in my heart, if it's some trivial things, I have to make you look good.

"Captain, there's something new!" Team member Li Qiang excitedly shook the USB flash drive in his hand in front of Lin Yuansi's eyes.

"What's that?" Seeing the mysterious appearance of the other party, Lin Yuansi was attracted to the past.

"Captain, just look at it." Li Qiang said and inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, and with a few mouse clicks, a video was displayed on the computer screen.

After watching it for a few seconds, Lin Yuansi almost jumped out of his seat in surprise. "This is?!"

"This is a video file that the technical department just recovered from Zhang Shengyi's computer at noon, and it seems that someone deleted it intentionally."

"Yes, well done!" Lin Yuansi said as he patted Li Qiang's shoulder with satisfaction.

The time shown in the video is 17:15 on the 25th, and there is no one else in the house except Zhang Shengyi, who should have reached an agreement with Vera at this time.

Vera left the room, and Zhang Shengyi turned on the camera again.

According to Vera's previous statement, Vera turned back to room 1906 for the second time, and she heard Zhang Shengyi's mobile phone ringing, but no one responded to her.

Could it be that Zhang Shengyi really stayed in the room all the time, just pretending to be absent? Or did Zhang Shengyi leave the room at that time and go somewhere else, but after a while, he returned to the room and turned on the camera?

I saw Zhang Shengyi sitting on the sofa for a while, during which he kept looking at his watch, and after 3 minutes, Zhang Shengyi couldn't hold it back, stood up from the sofa, and paced back and forth in the room, looking very uneasy and nervous. After about 3 minutes, Zhang Shengyi put his hand into his pocket, as if he was sure that something existed, and his facial expression softened a lot, and he could see that he was secretly relieved.

At this time, Zhang Shengyi looked at his watch again, and the displayed time was 17:21 on the 25th. This is not much time left from the time of death inferred by the police.

At this time, Zhang Shengyi had already left the living room and went to other rooms. Lin Yuansi looked at the empty room, and felt that every second was torment, and countless conjectures flashed through Lin Yuansi's mind one by one, where was Zhang Shengyi at this time, and what was he doing.

Lin Yuansi held his breath and tried to hear every sound in the video clearly, refusing to let go of the slightest, but disappointingly, there was only an empty silence left in the video, and nothing could be heard.

Another 3 minutes passed, and it was 17:24.

Zhang Shengyi's figure flashed. With the sound of hurried footsteps, Lin Yuansi clearly heard the sound of "bang".

It was probably the sound of the door closing.

Lin Yuansi sighed fiercely, within a few minutes after this, Zhang Shengyi's life could be threatened at any time.

Lin Yuansi felt that he was powerless, and an executioner disguised as the Grim Reaper forced Zhang Shengyi into a desperate situation step by step, and he himself couldn't do anything.

Lin Yuansi slammed his fist on the table, and a muffled voice came, like Lin Yuansi's heavy mood at the moment.

Seeing that the captain looked depressed, he knew that he shouldn't have talked too much, but Li Qiang still couldn't hold back and opened his mouth. "Captain, don't be discouraged, there is a video later that you may be interested in."

Hearing Li Qiang's words, Lin Yuansi raised his head, as if he saw hope, settled down, and watched the video attentively again.

The video changed again, and with the sound of the key turning, a person came into view. This person is Zhu Xiaolin, who is still sobering up in the interrogation room at the moment.

Her steps were already a little shaky, and she looked like she had drunk a lot, but she seemed to be quite conscious.

What made Lin Yuansi feel strange was that Zhu Xiaolin's dress on the video was exactly the same as today's. If there is no difference, her hair on the video is still clean and not knotted like today, and the stockings on her legs also look like new, and there are no signs of tearing.

Could it be that from the 25th to today, Zhu Xiaolin has not changed her clothes?

Lin Yuansi guessed that a little girl in her twenties should not be so sloppy. Coupled with the feedback from the monitoring in the past few days, Zhu Xiaolin has not returned home, where has she gone in the past few days when she has not gone home?

And where did these tearing marks on Zhu Xiaolin's stockings come from?

On the video, Zhu Xiaolin began to look for someone as soon as she entered room 1906, and she could clearly hear her hurried footsteps and shouts, calling Zhang Shengyi's name.

Probably after looking around and not finding anyone, Zhu Xiaolin returned to the living room, took out her mobile phone and broadcast the call, but the other party did not respond for a long time, over and over again.

Zhu Xiaolin's worried expression was clearly written on her face.

After a while, there was a knock at the door.

Lin Yuansi was stunned for a moment, who would it be at this time, could it be Zhang Shengyi?

Zhu Xiaolin asked, and a strange man's voice came from the door, Zhu Xiaolin didn't respond after hearing it, but opened the door silently.

Then, the two came into view, followed by Zhu Xiaolin was a tall but thin man, wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of white-washed blue jeans. It doesn't look much older than Zhu Xiaolin.

"What are you doing here?" In the video, Zhu Xiaolin opened her mouth first, looking cold. "You're following me."

"Xiaolin, I was worried about you, I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came with you." The man's voice sounded weak.

"You don't have to worry about my business, we've made it clear."

"Listen to me, that old man is not a good thing, and you will not be happy with him."

"If you're not with him, do you want to be with you?" Zhu Xiaolin said, showing a disdainful expression.

"Xiaolin, you weren't like this before. We used to be very happy together. ā€

"Don't say yourself so pitiful, if I hadn't given you money to help you, would you have been able to live as nourishing as you are now?"

"I—" The man seemed to know that he was in the wrong, and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, don't say anything, I'll just act as if nothing happened today, you can go." Zhu Xiaolin said, not even looking at him.

As if knowing that it was useless to say more, the man didn't say anything more and left the room silently.

Zhu Xiaolin was the only one left in the room, and her face was once again full of worry.

Lin Yuansi looked at it and guessed that it should be Zhang Shengyi who called Zhu Xiaolin and asked her to come to 1906, saying that he had something to look for her, but he didn't expect Zhu Xiaolin to be a step late.

They said something on the phone, so that Zhu Xiaolin left her birthday party and came here on purpose.

In the video, Zhu Xiaolin kept calling, but none of them could get through, and it could be seen that she was a little restless at this time.

Time passed for a while, and Zhu Xiaolin answered a phone call, which seemed to be from a friend, urging her to go back.

Zhu Xiaolin hesitated, and finally left the room.

The video returned to an almost static state.

Just when Lin Yuansi thought that this was all there was to it, Li Qiang fast-forwarded the video for a long time in a timely manner.

Lin Yuan Temple looked at it again, and the video showed 13:18 on the 26th.

What will happen at this time?

Lin Yuansi silently waited for the passage of time, and after about half a minute, he heard the sound of the door lock turning, and then the door opened, and a person came in, this person was the man who had followed Zhu Xiaolin before.

Once in the room, he walked straight in the direction of the study, where the computer was kept.

After a while, there was no image on the video, and it looked like someone had cut off the connection.

"Captain, the people from the technical department said that the time when this video was deleted was at 13:20." Li Qiang opened his mouth to explain.

"In other words, it was this person who deleted this video." Lin Yuansi said as he fell into deep thought.

What is the purpose of this person to delete this video?

When he came to the room before, it didn't look like he knew about the camera. In this case, who did he hear about this from, could it be Zhu Xiaolin?

Lin Yuansi didn't feel like it.

Could it be that there are others?

Judging from the video, the man who appeared last has become the most likely person to kill Zhang Shengyi.

Not only did he have the motive to kill, but he also had the conditions to kill, and the man did appear at the scene of the death during the time when the police speculated that Zhang Shengyi was dead, and he left there alone.

And judging from the final deletion of the video, no matter how he learned about the camera, it can show that this man's understanding of Zhang Shengyi is by no means ordinary.

Lin Yuansi intuitively believed that the man's follow-up to Room 1906 was not his first visit.

Maybe the person Zhang Shengyi wants to watch out for is him.

It seems that it is necessary to understand the basic situation through Zhu Xiaolin.

Lin Yuansi came to the interrogation room again.

knocked on the door, and Zhu Xiaolin's soft voice came from inside.

Lin Yuan Temple entered in response.

Zhu Xiaolin looked weak and lay on the table, with a paper cup next to her, and the water in it was still fresh.

"How's it going, do you feel better after taking the sobering pills?" Lin Yuansi opened his mouth slightly kindly.

"Hmm... It's still a headache, but it's much better..."Zhu Xiaolin replied pretending to be energetic, smiling slightly.

"You know, we can't keep you here for too long, and the media outside will probably gossip after a long time. So, I hope you can cooperate with us. Lin Yuansi smiled, with a helpless expression.

"I understand. If you have any questions, just ask. ā€
