Chapter 820 How could it be her?
Wen Congwu said seriously, "Did you take this photo?" Then he took out his mobile phone and showed him the photo.
The waiter swallowed hard, his voice a little tense, "Yes, it was me. I recognized Shao Wenguang coming to dinner that day, and I was so excited that I secretly took a picture. I swear I never posted it online..."
Wen Congwu waved his hand to interrupt him, "I don't care about that. Let me ask you, did you take photos from other angles that day?"
The waiter was stunned. "Are you also his fan?"
Wen Congwu lost his patience and said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense to me and just tell me if there is anything else."
The waiter shuddered and raised his right hand, swearing, "That's all, that's all. I promise I'll only take this one picture."
Wen Congwu frowned, "Then take me to see where he was sitting."
"Okay, that's no problem." The waiter quickly extended his hand as a gesture of invitation and considerately pushed the door open.
Xiao Shiqiu and I followed them outside, and the waiter led us to a corner on the east side of the lobby. From the perspective of the entire restaurant, this location was relatively remote and less likely to attract attention.
Wen Congwu checked his phone, then stood over to where Jiang Yongzhe had been sitting. He looked around and asked, "How long do you usually keep the surveillance videos in your restaurant?"
The waiter was stunned again. "It seems, it seems like three months." He seemed to remember something and looked down at his phone's photo album. "Today is almost three months since the photo was taken."
Wen Congwu pointed to a camera in a corner of the hall and said, "Go tell your restaurant manager that I want to check the surveillance footage from that day. The time is the time you took the photo."
The waiter, probably afraid the manager would find out he'd secretly taken photos of celebrities, quickly said, "Uncle police, please don't say I took that photo. I took it at 6:24 PM on February 19th. Just ask to see the surveillance footage from that time."
Wen Congwu didn't want to make things difficult for a waiter, so he nodded in agreement. The waiter smiled at him gratefully and turned to find the restaurant manager.
Wen Congwu pulled out his phone and started calling people, "Xiao Zhang, I'm at Yongxing Roast Duck Restaurant. Bring a portable hard drive over and copy a video. Hurry up."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Congwu finally smiled. "My sister-in-law is really my lucky star. Fortunately, we discovered it in time. If we had been late for a day, this important clue might have disappeared."
Xiao Shiqiu's mouth twitched, "Who is your lucky star? This is my wife, so I am your lucky star."
"Tsk tsk~" Wen Congwu said, looking like he had a toothache. "I've never seen you guard your food so carefully before."
Just as they were about to start bickering again, the restaurant manager arrived in time.
"Comrade police officer, which surveillance camera do you want to see?" The restaurant manager's professionalism was quite good and he was quite cooperative.
Wen Congwu pointed to the camera in the corner and said, "Just look at this."
When we arrived at the monitoring room, the restaurant manager was not familiar with the operation of the monitoring software. He didn't know how to retrieve the video of the day we specified, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
But Wen Congwu was obviously not good at it either. He looked at Xiao Shiqiu and said, "Old Xiao, you are good at computers, are you good at it?"
Xiao Shiqiu spread his hands and said, "I have an assistant, so I don't need to learn these things."
Wen Congwu choked and could only pace back and forth, looking at his watch from time to time.
Finally, the person he had just called arrived 15 minutes later. When the waiter saw Xiao Zhang in police uniform, he took him directly to the monitoring room.
When Xiao Zhang saw me and Xiao Shiqiu, he didn't ask much. He just glanced at us and sat down to start watching the video.
With the sound of keyboard tapping, the dates on the screen flipped quickly.
The video scrolled quickly and I could actually feel the motion sickness.
Suddenly the video stopped. "Eureka!" Xiao Zhang said excitedly, "Captain Wen, this should be the part you're looking for."
We leaned over to take a look. Jiang Yongzhe was shown from behind, with two young women sitting opposite him. When the camera zoomed in, although the clarity wasn't clear enough, Xiao Shiqiu and I both recognized the woman pouring the wine. She was Xiao Shiqiu's former assistant, Si Kouting!
"Why is it her?" Xiao Shiqiu frowned. Wen Congwu asked hurriedly, "Do you know this woman?"
Xiao Shiqiu nodded, "Yes, she's my former assistant, now in the marketing department."
"How is her relationship with Jiang Yongzhe? Does she behave in an unusual way?"
Xiao Shiqiu pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "It's not surprising that she knows Jiang Yongzhe, but I don't think their relationship is close enough to have dinner together."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Wen Congwu did not miss any suspicious points.
"Oh, it's not that I know much about their private lives. I'm just looking at it from a colleague's perspective. When Si Kouting was my assistant, Jiang Yongzhe didn't need to report to me, so there shouldn't have been much overlap in work with the President's Office."
He paused and continued, "As for her going to the marketing department, she wasn't even in the same building as the investment department. The marketing department was in Building A, and the investment department was in Building B. Normally, they wouldn't even see each other..."
STG's office building consists of three main buildings, ABC. Although everyone works in the same company, the daily life of each department is no different from working in different companies. For old employees with more than ten years of experience, the only colleagues they know are those in their own department.
Only departments like the general assistant, special assistant, and HR will deal with various departments, but the general assistant and special assistant generally only know the heads of various departments, and middle-level staff will rarely have contact with them.
Wen Congwu suddenly narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to the screen: "Wait, stop here, the woman next to your former assistant looks a little familiar..."
Xiao Zhang added, "She looks a bit like that girl named Maggie Q, the salesperson at the medical examination center who was on the same flight as Jiang Yongzhe."
Wen Congwu complained, "Yes, yes, the hairstyle and hair color on the surveillance video are different from the last time I saw her. I almost didn't recognize her. Women are troublesome."
The surveillance footage clearly showed that the three of them were having a pleasant conversation. Si Guanting poured wine for the two of them from time to time, and their behavior was as intimate as old friends.
Maggie Q frequently looked at Jiang Yongzhe, and even put her hand on Jiang Yongzhe's hand twice. Adults can understand this signal, and it is definitely not a relationship of ordinary friends. Even I, a layman who studies Conan, can see how much information is conveyed.
First of all, Si Kou Ting and Maggie Q are friends, and their relationship should be very good.
Secondly, the ambiguity between Maggie Q and Jiang Yongzhe was not avoided by Si Kouting, especially since Jiang Yongzhe was married. Even if they had no intersection at work, they were in the same company after all, so he could not hide it from her. However, Jiang Yongzhe still had no scruples, which was a bit intriguing.
