    Chapter 23 Evidence (6)

    Several people endured the black-screen video for a while.

    The boss asked the boy in the monitoring room, "Have you ever noticed this? Is it really that dark?"

    The young man was a little embarrassed: "Uh... Because it's not in the store, I didn't pay much attention to it."

    In fact, he doesn't always watch the video in the store. Although the video is to prevent some troubles, after all, the price of this restaurant is there. What are you doing here.

    At about 7:34, a light suddenly appeared at the location of Kitty Bell's house.

    It's just that the light flickered and seemed to move slowly with the footsteps of people.

    "This is... an emergency flashlight, right?" The young man moved his fingers and turned the screen up—

    From the camera's point of view, the position is also a bit awkward. The window between Kitty Bell's house can be photographed, but only the upper part, and most of the lower part is still blocked by the courtyard wall of the nearby house and the stacked wooden boards. Through the enlarged picture, everyone could barely see a figure holding an emergency flashlight, slowly walking from a farther part of the room to the window.

    Judging from the movement and form, it should be Mrs. Kitty Bell herself.

    When she stood farther away, people could still see her silhouette and flashlight through the upper half of the window. First legs and feet, then upper body, then shoulders and face...

    When she actually walked to the window, everyone could not see it.

    "Fuck, these walls and planks are really in the way!" The young man was even more excited than the lawyer.

    Yan Suizhi patted his shoulder, "Calm down."

    He had seen a lot of evidence that the chain was dropped at a critical moment. It was not bad to have this picture. How could there be so many things that just proved everything.

    Although no one can be seen, the shaking of light and shadow can roughly give a guess——

    The old lady seemed to put the flashlight down a bit, did something, and the lights in the house turned on.

    "Is there a light? I thought there was something wrong with the wiring in her house or the light was broken." This time it was the boss who spoke. "After all, that house is a year older than me."

    Julian Gower, the notary, has more contact with the boss every day. He said: "There are many people here who do not turn on the lights when it is not dark enough to save energy bills. But how did this old lady I don't know about this habit, I'm just guessing."

    After a while, the windowpane was covered with a thin layer of water vapor.

    "The old lady turned on the heat."

    According to the case documents, Mrs. Kitty Bell likes to do knitting. When the sun is shining during the day, she will sit by the window by the sun, and at night by the heater, warming her fingers, while do weaving.

    Heating is a good thing for an old lady to keep her fingers flexible. But it was too unfriendly to the few people watching the video.

    Because when the glass is covered with water vapor, the things in the room can't be seen clearly, only the hairy light and the blurred outline can be seen.

    The people in that low house area always use energy very cheaply, and most of the lights are yellow and dim. The light in the old lady's house was the same, and the eyes of the few people before the video were a little sore after watching it for a long time.

    And staring at a dimly yellow glass for 20 minutes is really boring, and it is a test of patience.

    At 7:55 pm in the video, something that shocked everyone appeared——

    "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Is this hair? A bunch of hairs are coming over!" The sleepy young man sat up suddenly, his fingers almost poking through the screen, pointing to a small black shadow that appeared in the window glass.

    It should be a person, quietly approaching the old lady from behind.

    Still because of the occlusion of the courtyard wall and wooden planks, only a little overhead can be seen.

    But everyone still held their breath, and then, through the little glass covered with water vapor, everyone saw a black shadow passing over the man's head and falling down again.

    Even if you can't hear the sound or see a clearer and more complete picture, you can still imagine that the person is holding a hard object and knocking the old lady unconscious.

    The young man watching the video didn't rush to speak this time, but covered his mouth with his hands and was stunned for a while before taking a breath.

    The boss sighed "Hey—", "I wish the old lady could hear the movement in advance. There are alarm bells in these old houses, usually near the light switch..."

    The notary thought for a while and said: "Actually, the alarm bells in these old houses are broken a lot, so they may not work. And if you are not afraid of the alarm, you don't need to knock the old lady unconscious first."

    When they were discussing sentence by sentence, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan, who really needed the video, never spoke, and still stared at the screen.

    The young man sitting in the seat felt that the person behind him leaned forward a little, and looked back subconsciously.

    When these people entered the door before, he listened to the boss and knew that the person standing directly behind him was a trainee lawyer. His first impression of this trainee lawyer was that he was very student-like, maybe because he looked at people with a little smile, he seemed gentle and close.

    But now, when the trainee lawyer looked at the screen, his face was almost expressionless, his smile was gone, and his sense of gentleness was gone. The screen on the wall is reflected in his eyes, and the stars are like very clear glass, beautiful and cold.

    Is there such a big difference in temperament when a person laughs or does not laugh?

    The young man glanced at the real lawyer again, who was resting on the table with one hand, staring at the screen with a blank expression on his face.

    "..."

    Pressed by two large ice mountains, the young man shrank his neck, turned his head silently, and moved his chair forward.

    When he looked back at the screen, the glass of Kitty Bell's house, which reflected the dim yellow light, suddenly went dark.

    "Huh? Why is it dark?!" The young man asked in surprise.

    "The man inside turned off the light," said notary Julian Gower.

    Just as the young man was staring at the screen, he felt that his shoulder was tapped twice.

    Yan Suizhi: "Excuse me, please enlarge the picture a little more."

    The boy adjusted the picture again.

    The pitch-black windowpane took up almost half of the screen. Yan Suizhi leaned forward again, leaning forward with his center of gravity. He supported the table with his left hand, but his eyes and attention did not take his eyes off the screen at all.

    I didn't even notice any difference in the "desktop" pressed by my palm.

    After another moment, the "desktop" suddenly moved and was taken away from his palm.

    Yan Suizhi glanced distractedly, and just saw Gu Yan retracted his hand and put it in the pocket of his trousers.

    "..."

    Gu Yan's eyes swept across his face.

    Yan Sui twisted her fingers subconsciously, and felt that her peripheral nerves were probably dead, and the back of her hand was so different from the desktop that she couldn't tell.

    When he raised his eyes again, Gu Yan had withdrawn his eyes and looked at the screen again.

    After the pitch black was enlarged, his eyes were still blind, and he couldn't see anything.

    After a while, at 8:05 p.m. in the video, the room lights up again. Immediately afterwards, a figure hurried to the window, rushing up and down...

    It should be the old lady's grandnephew, Juster, who has returned.

    The video with a very limited content was required to be replayed three times, and then the original video was taken under the witness of the notary Julian Gorker.

    The boss rubbed his hands: "Hey -it seems that you can't help some busy, if there are not so many blocking objects, or there is a street light in the alley, how can you know so unfortunately!"

    The young man also stood up and scratched his head: "I don't usually look at this piece outside the window. If I saw it at the time, maybe what can I start to start with."

    "Thank you." Yan Sui said, "This video is very useful."

    When he talked to people, the smile came out again, as if the cold when no one had paid attention to it was an illusion.

    The boss also talked to him with politely: "You're welcome, this time is almost the same, do you just use dinner here?"

    Gu Yan put his hand: "No, there is something."

    "Really? Okay ..." La Ke was unsuccessful, and the boss regretted it.

    After Yan Suizhi, Gu Yan, and Julian Gaul came out of this restaurant, they went to several restaurants around him, and also negotiated with the boss to call out the 23rd surveillance video.

    But unfortunately, there is no infrared that can be taken outside the window, and either the angle is more biased, or the height is not enough to provide more useful information.

    The only exception is the sixth.

    The surveillance videos did not take the window of Getty Bell's house, but the staff responsible for the monitoring said a word. He pointed at a corner not far from the courtyard wall and said, "His -I remember that it was not so dark here, and there was a little more here ... uh, there should be a street light in almost this position."

    "Sure?"

    "OK, I remember this is not so dark."

    If there is a street light there, you may be able to set a light light on the wall of Getty Bell's house, then whoever ... or which one can be photographed by turning over the wall before the incident.

    In order to confirm his words, he took the initiative to go forward for several days.

    Sure enough, on the night of the 15th, there was a street light on the corner of the road, which was not bright, the scope of the reflection was not large, and some were poorly exposed. Essence

    But anyway, you can indeed follow the fence of Getty Bell's house.

    Just happen to fail? Or did anyone deliberately break it?

    The employee accelerated the video from the night of 15th to the night of the 16th.

    "Pass." Gu Yan stared at the screen and said, "Change this side to the original speed."

    The video quickly returned to the original speed, and two teenagers were standing near the street lights, saying something. The two people are no stranger to Yan Sui, one is the old lady's nephew, Jest, and the other is Joshua Daller.

    The two did not know how to get a mouthful, pushing each other, as if they were about to fight.

    During the pull, Josya Daller dragged Jaster on the lamp pillars, and Jast slammed into the lamp column behind. Immediately, he hugged Joshua Daller again, a flip, and put him on the lamp column.

    Okay, two reunited.

    It is estimated that the street lights with poor contacts are likely to be so cold.

    In this way, the two bears were not let go.

    After playing for another two or three minutes, there was a persuasion next to it. The three were twisted into a ball. The picture was particularly beautiful.

    Yan Sui's face was paralyzed: "..."

    He turned his head and smiled, and said very lovingly: "Do you know, I want to unscrew Joshua Daller's head to hang it on the top of the street light."

    Said "kid" and sounded like "dumb".

    "..." Gu Yan rolled his eyelids and let him laugh for a while, then suddenly reached out and pinched his chin, turning his face back, and said coldly, "Tell Joshua, don't face me"

    Professor Yan Da has never been treated like this before, and he was stunned for a moment, thinking that you are really going against the sky.
