With a press of one of the remote control buttons, a black object the size of a fingernail stretched out its wings and flew down from the ceiling of the room.
Although no one had ever seen such a thing before, Zhou Wei’s face turned pale when he saw it.
Unlike Zhou Wei with his fear, Chi Yang had remained silent from the very beginning. However, his cold expression softened when he heard his wife’s affectionate words.
He knew that Nuannuan was the most competent military wife in the world because she supported his work and respected his beliefs. She was also extremely protective.
No matter how good of a relationship she had with the Wu family, she was still just an outsider. The most she could do was help them get out of trouble.
Before, Nuannuan had spoken up to help the Wu family. However, after Zhou Wei said those nasty words, this was no longer about the Wu family. From this point on, everything Nuannuan did was to protect her own family. She wanted everyone involved to suffer the repercussions of Zhou Wei’s words. In his attempt to earn their sympathy and get himself out of this situation safely, he unintentionally slandered Chi Yang.
Nuannuan was a girl who was not particularly aware of the bigger picture and perhaps did not have much of a sense of righteousness for her country. However, she had a clear distinction between love and hate and was extremely protective of her own family.
Soon, a projection was displayed on the wall of the study room in the Wu family’s residence. It displayed Zhou Wei’s actions from the moment he first entered the Wu family’s villa.
It followed Zhou Wei wherever he went. As he watched himself in the video, Zhou Wei’s face paled. He thought to himself, ‘Game over!’.
The video showed the 10 police officers and Zhou Wei himself getting divided into three groups. Two groups comprised 4 officers, while Zhou Wei’s group included 2 officers and himself.
Since the other two groups were not followed, no one knew how they had gone about searching for evidence. However, Zhou Wei’s behavior was up for display.
First, he divided the work. Once the other two groups of police officers got busy conducting their search, Zhou Wei slowly walked up to the second floor, casually pushed open a door to a room, and ordered the two policemen behind him to go in and investigate. He then stood by the door, not doing anything.
Then, he went to the second room. Again, he asked the two officers to go in and investigate while he waited at the door.
There was another room opposite those two rooms, but Zhou Wei did not ask the officers to go in and investigate it. Instead, he walked straight into the third room—which was the room that they were in now.
The two policemen followed behind him and searched it the same way that they had the other two rooms. However, just as they were about to leave, Zhou Wei asked them to move the bookcases away.
Once the first bookcase was moved away, Zhou Wei walked up and carefully inspected the floor under the bookcase. He made sure that there was nothing there, even though he did not check the floor anywhere else in the room. Then, he asked for the second bookcase to be moved away—the bookcase that hid the secret compartment.
As soon as it was moved away, he saw slits through the floor. He immediately walked up to it and said, “There’s something here.”
Then, he picked up the piece of solid wood on the ground that hid the secret compartment and looked down into it.
However, when he removed this wood and peered inside, Zhou Wei was dumbfounded. He could not help but mutter, “Where’s the thing?”
His voice was very soft, so even the two police officers behind him did not hear him. However, the movement of his lips had been clearly captured by the camera.
Nangong Nuannuan could not help but laugh. “Captain Zhou, you were asked to investigate an obvious highway crime. Everything you’ve told us is just a possibility and does not clearly reflect intentional murder.”
