Volume 8 – Chapter 43: Calm

“Who are the two women in there?”

Outside the door of the surveillance room, a crew member walked over while drinking coffee. He asked the crew member who was supposed to be manning the surveillance room, now standing outside the door.

“Probably, they are also the police?” The crew member shrugged. “Anyway, they are with Officer Ma. They said they wanted to look at the surveillance video again. So, I showed them.”

“Don’t we need to tell the captain?” the crew member holding the coffee asked curiously.

“Anyway, the police have to go back and forth several times to get evidence. We will tell the captain or deputy captain when we see them later.”

“It’s up to you.” The crew member holding the coffee smiled and said. “I’m off work. I’m going to change my clothes and do sightseeing on the island.”

“You go and look at the video that was recorded at other places at three and six o’clock.” Ren Ziling frowned and ordered.

Soon after, Li Zi turned back and said, “Sister Ren, all the videos at that period of time were frozen…”

At this time, Ren Ziling sat down, looking at the ceiling with her hands behind her head, thinking, “When Qian Guoliang died, it should be about eight forty-five in the morning… The power outage was at four…”

“Sister Ren, what causes the video to lag?”Li Zi asked puzzled.

Ren Ziling said, “If it’s just one video, it may be the problem of the machine. However, if this applied to all of the videos, then I’m… afraid that someone has edited the video for this time period, and used the old video.”
