Chapter 187 Lost Surveillance

Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan are both action-oriented.

After we decided to set off, we changed flights that afternoon and flew directly from City A to City S.

Based on the video they had previously obtained from Su Qing, the two quickly found the entrance to the alley where Ai Heng was taken away.

After arriving at the place, Jiang Wanning looked around.

City S is really remote, and even more desolate and depressed than the place where they found the two old Chens before.

It was around six or seven in the evening, when the streets should have been bustling, but at a glance, there were almost no people on the street.

"Xie Yanchuan." Jiang Wanning also noticed at this time that there was a small store at the intersection of the alley. The camera installed at the door seemed to be able to scan this side just right.

"Let's go over and ask the boss if we can get the surveillance footage from that time?"

As she said this, she tugged at Xie Yanchuan's sleeve.

The latter looked up at the same time, and after noticing the camera in that position, his eyes also flashed: "Okay."

"Let's go and ask first."

After confirming that there were no other useful clues around, the two of them walked towards the small shop at the entrance of the alley at the same time.

The seasons in Singapore are always hot and humid. When Jiang Wanning lifted the plastic curtain hanging in front of the store and walked in, the middle-aged owner of the store looked at the two of them with squinted eyes, as if he had just woken up from a nap.

The man was first stunned by Jiang Wanning's exquisite appearance, and then he was startled by Xie Yanchuan who came in behind her.

You should know that most adult men in Singapore are much taller than those in China.

But Xie Yanchuan looked not much smaller than them in terms of stature, and his pair of seemingly bottomless eyes, when he glanced at them inadvertently, made people feel a chill of fear.

"Is there anything you two need?" The boss's voice was even trembling when he spoke again.

Jiang Wanning obviously noticed this as well. After curling her lips and smiling for a moment, she decisively pulled Xie Yanchuan to her side.

"Boss, my husband and I came here to play a while ago, and we accidentally lost something. I want to borrow your surveillance camera to take a look. Is that okay with you?"

Shop owner: “…”

The middle-aged man stared at Xie Yanchuan's obviously terrifying aura and swallowed his saliva: "Of course, no problem."

On the other side, Xie Yanchuan, who was inexplicably "used", but heard someone calling her husband: "..."

There is no way, and I really enjoy this title.

After all, she is my wife, so I can only pamper her.

And it has to be said that the method Jiang Wanning came up with on the spur of the moment was very useful. It saved them a lot of effort, and the boss soon called up the archive interface of the surveillance camera outside the store.

But Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan's faces did not show joy after watching the video.

The reason is simple. This type of civilian-installed surveillance equipment can only store images up to one month ago.

The footage of Ai Heng being taken away happened two months ago and there was no way to find it.

Jiang Wanning saw that the hope she had just grasped was reduced to zero again, and the joyful expression on her face instantly dimmed.

Instead, Xie Yanchuan stared at the surveillance footage, seeming to be lost in thought.

"I didn't find anything. I'll go return the phone to the boss."

Jiang Wanning stood up as she said this, ready to take the phone from Xie Yanchuan, but was suddenly stopped by someone: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

The other party's reaction made Jiang Wanning, who was originally disappointed and ready to leave, cheer up again and move to the front of the video.

The distance between the two of them became very close in an instant.

From Xie Yanchuan's angle, he could even clearly see Jiang Wanning's slender neck looking down for a moment.

This also caused the man to pause for an inexplicable moment about what he was about to say, and then he moved a little further to the side uncomfortably.

He lowered his eyes, and there was nothing unusual on his face. However, if you looked closely, you could see that the earlobe under his hair had already been quietly stained with a blush without him knowing when.

"Cough." Xie Yanchuan cleared his throat which was obviously a little tight.

After glancing at the boss behind them who was nervously and quietly looking over here, he looked at Jiang Wanning and said again, "This is not the place to talk."

The two of them had been together for such a long time and had a tacit understanding, so Jiang Wanning immediately understood what he meant when she heard it.

After turning around and smiling at the store owner with a slightly "apologetic" look, he pulled Xie Yanchuan straight to the shelf in the back corner of the store.

"Is this location okay?"

"Um."

Xie Yanchuan nodded and lowered his voice: "Just now I was watching the surveillance, mainly to confirm whether the camera's position could capture the direction where Ai Heng and the others were at that time."

"The camera position is indeed just right..."

"I know, but the surveillance footage only covers content from a month ago. It's been too long now, and we can't see the content from that day anymore. Besides, there are no other surveillance cameras nearby."

Before Xie Yanchuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Wanning's slightly anxious voice.

Seeing this, the former smiled helplessly: "Don't be anxious, Ningning."

Then, under Jiang Wanning's gaze, he slowly said, "I just looked at the model of this surveillance camera. Usually, models like this are registered with the public security department."

"What do you mean...?" As if realizing something, Jiang Wanning's eyes, which had been anxious and lost, suddenly lit up again.

"Um."

Xie Yanchuan nodded again.

"The police surveillance system usually covers at least three months. I happen to know someone in City S who should be able to help us retrieve the surveillance footage from that day."

"That's great, let's go over there without further ado."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanning's originally depressed mood turned into joy again.

Xie Yanchuan also closed the monitored phone and sent a message to the friend he used to know here. After briefly summarizing his intentions, he prepared to return the phone to the boss and leave the store.

"Thank you, boss. This is your reward. Please don't tell anyone else about our visit today."

Jiang Wanning smiled brightly. While handing her phone to her boss, she was also careful and gave him a considerable amount of "hush money".

The latter's eyes lit up as he looked at the money, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Okay, you two can rest assured, I am the most trustworthy person to keep my promises."

After doing all this, Jiang Wanning prepared to call Xie Yanchuan to leave.

But she didn't expect that just as she started, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her back to the shelf in the corner of the store at an extremely fast speed.

"Shhh."

The man who had been calm and composed just now suddenly looked serious, and his expression was fierce as he stared at the entrance of the store.

"Don't make any noise for a moment, someone is coming."
