Chapter 865 Noticing Something Abnormal
Qin Mofeng?
Jiang Ruan tried to imagine, but to no avail.
After all, in her memory, Qin Mo, though cold-hearted, was emotionally stable and had never lost his temper, no matter how big the trouble he encountered.
Rather than losing one's temper.
He is better at thinking about how to solve problems.
If it were any other matter, Qin Mo would indeed do it this way: solve the problem first, then deal with the person who caused it.
Kelintan is different.
If things are as Huo Zhizhou guessed, then Lin Tan has experienced the past again, and he hurt her again without knowing the truth.
He immediately called his secretary, Wen Zhi: "Get me the surveillance footage related to Lin Tan and Huo Sinian from the night of the wrap party for the drama 'Memory Prison'."
Wen Zhi: "Okay."
Thinking about the hospital, Qin Mo decided to investigate again after much deliberation: "Investigate again about the day I had the car accident, when Lin Tan met with my mother and Luo Feng."
Wen Zhi said, "I understand."
Qin Mo hummed in agreement and then hung up the phone.
Thinking about what Huo Zhizhou had said.
He dialed Qin Jiangye's number.
To find out Lin Tan's reaction, we need to create a situation where she is with Huo Sinian; otherwise, simply making a phone call would be too easy to misinterpret or miss something.
"Hello," Qin Jiangye said, his voice drawn out.
"Invite Huo Sinian and Lin Tan out for a meal in your name," Qin Mo stated his purpose directly. "Remember to bring a listening device and put it under the table."
Qin Jiangye glanced at the group of people who were still eating, picked up his phone, and got up to go to the side.
After confirming that no one could hear him from his location, he jokingly said, "Eavesdropping? Are you trying to find something on me to send me to jail?"
Qin Mo: "What do you want?"
Qin Jiangye: "I haven't decided yet."
Qin Mo: "Let me know when you've made up your mind."
Seeing how serious he was, Qin Jiangye's gossipy nature immediately kicked in: "Isn't it a bit too obvious that you want me to make the date? I have no business dealings with Huo Sinian, so it doesn't seem strange for me to suddenly ask him out for dinner?"
Qin Mo paused.
It is a bit strange.
While it's understandable that Qin Jiangye, as Lin Tan's boss, wanted to confirm the exact nature of her relationship with Huo Sinian, it was a bit deliberate to arrange a meal specifically for this matter.
"Compared to me, Huo Zhizhou is a more suitable younger brother." Qin Jiangye looked at Huo Zhizhou, who was sitting with Sui Sui and Jiang Ruan eating, and smiled. "He made an appointment with Huo Sinian, and I brought Lin Tan to bump into them."
"How did we bump into each other?" Qin Mo asked.
"Lin Tan is going to audition for Lao Ning's new movie in a couple of days." Qin Jiangye didn't hide anything. "Having a meal with the director before the audition to get to know each other better isn't a bad idea."
Seeing that he was truly reliable and wasn't just joking, Qin Mo finally felt relieved.
"Time," he said.
"This Friday, then. The audition is next Wednesday, so dinner on Friday should be enough," Qin Jiangye said unhurriedly.
Qin Mo: "Okay."
Qin Jiangye drawled out, "Mmm."
Qin Mo: "Oh, right."
Qin Jiangye: "What?"
Thinking about Huo Sinian's recording and Huo Zhizhou's advice, Qin Mo suppressed his emotions and asked, "Did Lin Tan have any unusual reaction after coming out of the restroom on the night of the wrap party?"
Qin Jiangye: "Wrap-up party?"
He recalled for a moment.
Since several days had passed, it took him a while to recall: "After she came back from the bathroom, she seemed a bit dazed and absent-minded, saying she wasn't feeling well, so I told her to go home and rest."
The mist in Qin Mo's eyes deepened little by little.
That's what I mean.
Huo Zhizhou's guess is very likely true.
The messages Lin Tan sent him were most likely sent by Huo Sinian. But how did her phone end up in Huo Sinian's hands? And how did Huo Sinian get the password to unlock it?
A series of questions arose in his mind.
"What's wrong?" Qin Jiangye sensed something was amiss. "What happened?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking." Qin Mo hung up the phone after saying that.
Qin Jiangye, however, sensed something was amiss.
Qin Mo is such a boring person that he would never ask meaningless questions.
Thinking this way.
He sent a message to Secretary Qin, asking him to investigate the night of the wrap party.
Qin Mo received the news the following afternoon.
After the meeting ended, Secretary Wen reported to him on her work. Only after all the procedures were completed did Qin Mo ask her, "How's the investigation into the wrap party going?"
"Some of the surveillance footage from that night has been deleted," Secretary Wen replied. "We're having it restored."
Qin Mo frowned slightly.
delete?
"Show me the videos before and after the deletion." Qin Mo felt increasingly suspicious.
Secretary Wen immediately tidied it up and sent it to him.
When Qin Mo turned on the surveillance footage, he asked another question: "What about the hospital?"
“Mrs. Yu and Young Master Qin have had contact with Miss Lin Tan.” Secretary Wen is very good at investigating things. “During the conversation, Miss Lin Tan was even slapped.”
Qin Mo stopped watching the surveillance footage: "Who did this?"
Secretary Wen: "It was either your mother or Second Young Master Qin. Miss Lin Tan was beaten after she entered that room."
Qin Mo's eyes were pitch black.
She was wearing a mask that day, and he assumed she was just worried about being recognized and didn't pay much attention. But what she said later stirred his emotions and pushed his reason aside, so he didn't notice anything amiss.
Thinking about it now.
If she really broke up with him because of those things, she should have shown him the slap mark then, to tell him that being with him would not only bring her trouble, but also physical harm.
He would definitely feel guilty and remorseful if she said it.
But she only said other things.
"Can we find out what they talked about?" Qin Mo felt that he had been too impulsive back then.
"We can't find out," Secretary Wen said. "Unless one of the three of them is willing to talk."
Qin Mo didn't ask any more questions and started watching the surveillance footage on the computer.
After reading everything, he knew something must have happened that night.
After all, the period when the surveillance footage was deleted coincided with the time when Lin Tan sent him a message.
He couldn't see where Lin Tan went after she got up.
All I saw was her sitting back down in her seat.
If things are really as Huo Sinian said, Lin Tan chose him, and if everything she did with him was just to spite Huo Sinian, then there's no need for them to delete each other's records, even if they went on dates and booked rooms together.
Deleted, only strangeness remains.
"How long will it take to restore it?" Qin Mo asked.
"It's not clear yet," Secretary Wen replied. "The technical department said the deletion was quite thorough, making restoration difficult."
Qin Mo said he understood and told her to go ahead and get busy.
For a fleeting moment, he wanted to ask Huo Sinian.
Since Lin Tan chose him, why would he delete the surveillance footage out of guilt?
But he held back. He wasn't in a hurry to know why Huo Sinian did this. He just wanted to know what Lin Tan had gone through and whether she had been coerced into saying those things to him.
Suppress the emotions in your heart.
He sent a message to Huo Zhizhou, telling him his thoughts and needs, and even offered a very generous reward in case Huo Zhizhou refused.
