Lin Li followed Zhao Gang and the technical expert Su Ran into the surveillance room of the police station.
In the dimly lit room, rows of screens flickered with cold light, resembling a mysterious electronic forest.
The surveillance equipment was state-of-the-art, yet they were faced with unexpected issues.
They began to carefully examine the hotel surveillance footage, time slipping away silently, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, as if the air itself had solidified.
However, the footage revealed multiple frustrating blind spots; crucial moments seemed to have been erased by an invisible hand, leaving only darkness and indistinct images behind.
Lin Li furrowed her brow, her eyes filled with anxiety and confusion. She leaned closer to the screen, trying to find a clue in the blurred edges or shifting shadows, her fingers unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothing tightly.
She knew that these missing frames must conceal vital clues—perhaps the key to unraveling her sister's death mystery—but at that moment, they felt like an impenetrable wall standing between her and the truth, making her anxious yet helpless.
While reviewing call records, Lin Li keenly noticed a mysterious phone call received by her sister shortly before her death.
This call became their new lead in the investigation, like a ray of hope piercing through the darkness.
Su Ran quickly immersed himself in technical tracking work, his fingers flying over the keyboard with fluidity. Codes and data scrolled across the screen in a dazzling display.
A technician nearby, Xiao Li, couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Su, your skills are incredible! No one else could handle this task so quickly."
Su Ran didn’t look up; he simply replied casually, "Stop chatting and help me verify the data."
Lin Li waited anxiously by the side, her gaze fixed on the screen as if she could see through it. Her eyes revealed a mix of urgency and anticipation.
After a painstaking investigation and meticulous analysis, they finally traced the source of the call to her sister's boss, Chen Yu.
Lin Li was filled with confusion. What intricate connections existed between her sister and her boss?
Was this call somehow related to her sister's death?
Countless possibilities flashed through her mind in an instant, and her heartbeat quickened involuntarily. A tense yet hopeful emotion spread wildly within her like rampant weeds.
Zhao Gang and Lin Li made a swift decision to head directly to Chen Yu's company.
Chen Yu's company was located in a high-rise building in the bustling part of the city, lavishly decorated to showcase its extraordinary commercial status and substantial financial power.
Under the guidance of the secretary, they entered Chen Yu's spacious and bright office. Chen Yu sat behind a large desk, dressed in an exquisitely tailored suit. Upon seeing the police arrive, his eyes flickered involuntarily, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead, despite his attempts to mask his inner turmoil with a cough.
When Zhao Gang inquired about the call, Chen Yu feigned calmness, claiming it was merely a routine discussion about work projects. However, his stammering speech and trembling voice, along with his frequent adjustments of his collar, did not escape Lin Li's keen observation.
Lin Li fixed her gaze on Chen Yu, her eyes sharp as she sought more cracks in his facade.
She began to ask clever questions, pressing him on the content of the call, the timing, and her sister's state at work: "Mr. Chen, could you tell me which project this call was specifically about? How did my sister sound at that time?"
Chen Yu avoided her gaze as he replied, "It was... it was about that new collaboration project. She sounded perfectly normal; she just mentioned some work arrangements."
Lin Li pressed on, "Were there any disagreements or issues with this project before?"
Chen Yu stammered, "No... nothing major, just some minor details that we're handling."
His response grew increasingly weak and full of holes, and his gaze began to wander, unable to meet Lin Li's eyes.
Lin Li felt more certain than ever that Chen Yu was hiding something important, and the truth behind it might be the key to unraveling the mystery of her sister's death.
