Chen Ming had failed to go any further with the search. During the investigation, he found out someone had attempted to erase the surveillance footage, so he had to get an in-house computer expert to help recover the files.
Chen Ming scratched his head and asked quizzically. “Miss Huo, who is this guy anyway?”
Huo Yao had already taken out the document for a look. She read through their report and quickly got to the last page before she finally raised her head and looked at Chen Ming. “He’s an old friend.”
Chen Ming thought about the surveillance footage he had seen. Mi Wei was undoubtedly much older than Huo Yao, so he did not detect anything amiss with her words.
He wondered how Huo Yao had befriended Mi Wei.
!!
Chen Ming did not ask Huo Yao and simply pointed at the flash drive. “Oh yes. Miss Huo, I copied the surveillance footage into the flash drive. I had to get someone to recover it.”
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes quizzically.
Mi Wei knew how to use a smartphone, but he was not particularly handy with technology. It was impossible for him to be behind the missing surveillance footage.
Huo Yao gathered her thoughts and ran through the investigation report again. “Got it. Thanks, Uncle Ming.”
“You’re welcome, Miss Huo.” Chen Ming smiled and said, “I will continue to keep an eye on Mi Wei.”
“Thanks.” Huo Yao nodded.
“In that case, I’ll be on my way, Miss Huo.”
Chen Ming was quite busy. Ever since Yuan Huan was released on bail, the guy disappeared into thin air. There was no trace of him both locally or abroad.
Yuan Huan must be working for someone. Since they did not have any other intel about Yuan Huan’s background, he had to keep a close eye on the person.
Huo Yao watched as Chen Ming drove off before heading into the villa.
The maid was cooking when Huo Yao entered the villa. She glanced at the kitchen and contemplated as she went upstairs with Chen Ming’s investigation report.
Before long, she turned on the laptop and plugged in the flash drive.
The flash drive contained five surveillance footage files in total. Huo Yao patiently went through every single footage. Since the footage was quite long, she played it at a higher speed.
After watching the last surveillance footage file, she replayed the last one and paused halfway.
Mi Wei could be seen entering a teahouse. A man wearing sunglasses entered behind him. After the man entered the teahouse, neither of them was seen leaving the place.
The surveillance cameras were unable to capture the man’s face and it was impossible for her to even figure out his age, but he had a lean physique.
Chen Ming had mentioned having to recover the footage and this must be the clip he was talking about. This meant they had already established the moment Mi Wei disappeared.
Mi Wei vanished near the Apothecaries’ Association.
Huo Yao leaned against her cheek as she scrutinized the surveillance footage with various thoughts running through her mind.
A lot of people were walking in and out of the tea house, but only Mi Wei and the man were not captured leaving the place.
Huo Yao pondered before rewatching the surveillance footage again. She found the part where the man could be seen the most clearly from the side and took a screenshot of it and sent it to her phone.
Huo Yao did not continue watching the surveillance footage and turned off the computer.
After turning off the laptop, she leaned against her chair lazily without moving and pondered.
When the maid knocked on the bedroom door telling her dinner was ready, she finally snapped out of her thoughts.
Huo Yao paused briefly and took out her phone. She swiped down to her chat group with Zhuo Yun and sent him the screenshot she had just taken.
