“With the police officers here, I have nothing to be afraid of,” i Shu smiled and chatted with them along the way.
Both police officers liked i Shu’s cheerful personality, and they developed a slightly stronger affinity for the young girl. They also put extra effort into handling the case.
However, to everyone’s surprise, after the video had been sent to the forensic departnt for an hour, the ssage that ca back was far from satisfactory.
The result was that there were no signs of forgery in the video.
This left the police captain deep in thought, and even the officers who had been joking with i Shu monts ago had their expressions change, their gazes taking on a hint of uncertainty.
“Boss, what’s going on? Is this video real?” Officer Xiao Liu asked, his eyes darting towards i Shu as he spoke. “Could it be that this girl was lying to us all along?”
The police captain pondered for a mont and said, “Our departnt’s technology isn’t advanced enough to detect all forms of facial swapping techniques. 1 think we should request higher-level expertise to reevaluate the video.”
“What?” Hearing that the captain wanted to escalate the situation, Officer Xiao Liu hesitated and pouted. “Is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Our departnt’s technology, while not cutting-edge, has never had any issues. If our colleagues from the forensic departnt find out about this, what will they think of us?”
Others shared similar concerns with Officer Xiao Liu.
They had originally thought i Shu was a good kid, but with this evaluation result, even they couldn’t help but have doubts.
If this girl really orchestrated this herself, her cunning was beyond asure!
She had even fooled experienced detectives like them!
The captain looked thoughtfully at i Shu and asked, “Do you know who you might have offended? Are there any individuals with hacking skills in your vicinity?”
There were, but i Shu couldn’t imagine that S and F would use such thods to fra her.
She smiled gently and shook her head, “I’m sorry, Uncle Policeman, but I can’t think of anyone who would resort to such despicable tactics to harm .”
The captain was in a dilemma. Just then, the police officer he had sent to investigate i Shu’s recent activities hurriedly returned. He quickly approached the officer and asked, “How did it go?”
The officer ran out of breath, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said, panting, “Captain, I found out that i Shu disappeared for half an hour while she was on her way ho from the Itai Club last night. The area had no surveillance caras, so we couldn’t determine what she did during that ti.”
“Disappeared?” The captain raised an eyebrow and asked, “What did the taxi driver say?”
The officer wiped away the sweat running down and said, “I’ve called the taxi company, and the driver will be here shortly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in his thirties or forties was brought into the office by other officers.
The mont he saw the captain, his gaze involuntarily started shifting, as if he felt extrely guilty.
The captain exchanged a glance with the officer and instructed him to notify the others to co over. Then, the captain personally brought a chair and asked the driver to sit down. “Hello, we appreciate your cooperation in taking the ti out of your busy schedule to co to the police station.”
The taxi driver waved his hand repeatedly. “Please don’t say that. Cooperating with the police is a civic duty.”
“It’s great that you understand that principle,” the captain said straightforwardly. “Did you pick up a young girl in the Morning Sun Alley yesterday evening?”
The taxi driver turned pale, and in the captain’s increasingly skeptical eyes, his hands trembled as he stamred, “Yes, there was a young girl.”
“Where was her destination? Did you encounter anything unusual during your trip?” The captain, sensing the driver’s unusual nervousness, montarily put aside the issue and continued with the questioning.
The driver nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “She, she wanted to go to the villa area in the south of the city, but my car was stopped and hijacked in Morning Sun Alley.”
“Hijacked? Did you encounter a robbery?” The captain imdiately straightened up, his expression turning serious.
The driver, however, appeared even more flustered as he shook his head repeatedly. “No, it wasn’t a robbery. Those people seed to be friends of the girl. They stopped the car, and she got out and left with them. They were chatting and laughing, and they told to leave.”
After he finished speaking, he wiped the sweat off his forehead, which was now drenched.
The captain nodded thoughtfully and asked, “Do you rember any distinctive features of the people who stopped your car?”
The driver licked his chapped lips and said, “I, I rember one of them had bright yellow hair!”
“Is it this one?” The captain handed him a photo of one of the n taken from the video.
The driver imdiately nodded and said, “Yes, that’s him! I rember him very clearly! He was hanging out with that girl yesterday, and I was worried sothing might happen, so I asked her if she wanted to report it to the police. But she said they were acquaintances, so I didn’t intervene.”
The captain took back the photo, and his face had turned ice-cold. “I’ve noted everything you’ve said. However, there’s sothing 1 want to make clear to you: giving false testimony to the police carries legal consequences..”
