Chapter 56: The Praying Mantis (2)

6 hours ago:

"That's it, let's go our separate ways now, you know where the reporter's home and his black book are, go find it immediately, I'll go and check the hotel's surveillance to track his whereabouts, ok?"

“OK!”

Before the words fell, Zhou Ji rushed out with a brisk step. Wang Yao looked at his back and frowned, although he has always admired people who do things neatly and never drag people with high work efficiency, but a serious work like Zhou Ji is no longer normal. Sometimes he can't do things in a hurry, but he doesn't seem to understand that he still takes everything on himself, and he can't tolerate anything else in his eyes. Seems...

It was as if he was in a hurry to consume his short and young life quickly.

Wang Yao shook his head. Now is not the time to be sentimental, so why point fingers at everyone with their own way of life?

Thinking like this, he also hurried to the top floor where the surveillance room was located, and after showing his personal ID to the agents stationed there, he was able to get the right to watch the surveillance video. So Wang Yao stood aside and debugged the equipment, and soon found the video from the incident about 20 minutes ago:

As soon as the elevator door opened in the spacious hall corridor, Zhou Ji took the thin arm of a man who was so thin that he was not humanoid and walked over slowly. However, seeing this kind of scene, Wang Yao couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a long time to react to what Zhou Ji said that the paparazzi he brought back should be the leather bag skeleton. Since he hadn't been in contact with the paparazzi Zhou Yanjun a few times before, he didn't have a deep impression of him, let alone the 'dry corpse' in the video.

But how far does it take for a living person to become this virtuous? Even if it's anorexia, it's only been more than a month, could it be that this is the sequelae that Yue Zhi said?

Continue to watch the video: Zhou Ji and the paparazzi came to the door of the room, only to see that he was not in a hurry to open the door but groped for something between the gaps in the door frame with his hands up and down, and finally took a few steps back with a solemn face and told the paparazzi Xiao Zhou to hide, took a deep breath and kicked open the door and rushed in.

This scheming ghost!

Wang Yao scolded secretly. Only then did he understand why he was still noticed in the room, and it was estimated that this guy with habitual obsessive-compulsive disorder had moved something on the door that no one else could find out about except himself. I have to say that although Zhou Ji looks like a rookie conscientiously, he is actually so thoughtful that vigilance is integrated into his blood. This hotel is a top asset, is it necessary?

You must know that it was because of Zhou Ji's unintentionally revealed behavior and attitude that Wang Yao became suspicious of him. Compared with Li Tangyue and Lin Xingcheng, people with their own characteristics, it is expected that they will be bait thrown by the black book company to do some self-interested small things. But Zhou Jike is not, his personality and behavior seem to be very ordinary, just like an ordinary and serious working agent. However, it is this kind of person who makes people who can't figure out what his real desires are, and is most likely to harbor very terrible destructive thoughts, in case he does something dangerous after coming into contact with the Black Book Company...

Of course, that's not something to worry about right now. Zhou Ji should have no problem, at least for the time being.

Wang Yao pressed his eyebrows, drove all the useless thoughts out of his brain, and continued to stare at the paparazzi Xiao Zhou who was shrunk behind the trash can in the video. Ten minutes passed, however, and he remained motionless. Everything seemed normal now, but Wang Yao knew that something was about to happen soon.

Sure enough, after another two minutes, the paparazzi Xiao Zhou in the picture suddenly changed his posture, he no longer curled up in horror, but slowly stood up, stared at the air in front of him with a dull gaze, stiffly raised his arm and waved his hand forward.

Here it comes! Wang Yao's spirits perked. What did the paparazzi see?

But from this angle in the video, Wang Yao can't see what appears in front of the paparazzi. Because it was a fire escape, although it was not close to Zhou Ji's room, it was because the paparazzi were timid and afraid to hide far away, which caused the current trouble.

But that's okay, there are cameras in the fire escape. Wang Yao snorted contemptuously. No matter whether you are a human or a ghost, you will not think that the hotel monitoring equipment set up by the Security Bureau has 360 degrees without dead ends, right? Even if you're a cockroach, they can pull you out! Thinking like this, he immediately called up the infrared camera located in the dark fire escape in the computer, adjusted the time, and stared intently at the screen.

A few minutes later, Wang Yao's face suddenly turned pale. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and hurriedly lowered his head to proofread the time of the two video recordings.

SP1:2017-08-29-14:02:36

SP2:2017-08-29-14:02:30

That's not right! Why hasn't there been any change in the video in the second fire escape? So why did the paparazzi suddenly get up and make that weird move 6 seconds later?

Could it be that the timing of the two cameras is wrong?

Wang Yao clicked the play button and let the time of the image in Video 2 pass. It wasn't until he saw the thin figure of the paparazzi Xiao Zhou pushing open the door of the stairway and kneeling down, waving his hands and kowtowing, turning to leave, staggering into the elevator and disappearing out of the monitoring range, that he was convinced that nothing had happened just now.

This X's... Is it another Lan Kerr! Hell no!

Wang Yao felt as if his chest was being suppressed. He stared viciously at the infrared-lit and empty fire escape in Video 2, as if there was an invisible monster in it provoking him: See, I took your important witnesses right under your noses, I don't need to hide at all, because you are so incompetent, you can't see anything, you can't do anything!!

"Grass!"

Wang Yao's heart was on fire, and he threw the wireless mouse in his hand to the ground and smashed it to pieces. The other agents who were working around were startled and looked at each other, wondering how the commander from above could be so angry for no reason.

Wang Yao stuck his waist and gasped for a long time before calming down. He knew very well that he couldn't use any help from above now, and he had already made a mistake by deserting to Zhou Ji on the way back to the headquarters. So...

"Hey, can you mobilize all the surveillance cameras in this neighborhood?" Wang Yao asked the agents.

"Ah, it can be, but we need the approval password from above, otherwise it will be a peeping into the personal privacy of citizens, and we will be punished." A lead-looking agent spoke, "Sir, shall we get in touch first?" ”

"No, I can do it." Wang Yao said, pushing away the agent and sitting in front of the chief processor.
