Gu Yibei fixed his gaze on Principal Zhang's face, and put one hand in his pocket: "It seems I need to trouble Principal Zhang to go to the monitoring room."
………
When Principal Zhang took Gu Yibei and Ji Zhinan to the monitoring room, there were two security guards on duty inside.
Seeing Principal Zhang coming, the security guard was flattered and quickly stood up from his seat: "Principal Zhang, why are you here?"
Principal Zhang waved his hand, not having time for idle chatter. He got straight to the point: "Check the surveillance cameras in the lobby on the first floor of the administration building for me."
Hearing this, the two security guards looked at each other with an embarrassed look.
Principal Zhang noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
One of the security guards stepped forward with an awkward smile, "Principal Zhang, the surveillance camera in the lobby on the first floor of the administration building is broken."
"It's broken?" How coincidental, why did it break down at this time instead of earlier or later?
"Yeah." Another busy security guard nodded and said, "We found out it was broken this morning, but we didn't have time to report it yet."
“…” This is a dilemma. If the camera is broken, we won’t be able to see who put the oil on the stairs.
In order to prove that the surveillance was really broken, the security guard specially turned on the surveillance in the lobby on the first floor of the administrative building, tapped the keyboard a few times, and the screen went black.
"Principal Zhang, look."
"This..." Principal Zhang looked at Gu Yibei in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.
The man's expression remained unchanged as he asked calmly, "Except for the surveillance footage in the lobby on the first floor, are all the other surveillance cameras functioning normally?"
The two security guards looked at Gu Yibei secretly and didn't answer immediately. After receiving Principal Zhang's gaze, they nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, everything else is normal."
The man curled his lips and said, "Then please check the surveillance footage outside the monitoring room to see if anyone else has been here in the hour before we arrived."
The two security guards' expressions changed drastically, Ji Zhinan remained calm, while Principal Zhang was puzzled.
"Mr. Gu, why are you checking the person who came to the monitoring room an hour ago..."
Principal Zhang fell silent before he could finish his words because he figured it out.
Suddenly his face turned ugly, and Principal Zhang stared at the security guard: "Go check the surveillance!"
The security guards were panicked, their eyes clearly filled with confusion, and they evaded the question: "Principal Zhang, what happened that brought you to the monitoring room so suddenly? You..."
Principal Zhang gave the two security guards a look and they immediately fell silent.
Gu Yibei stepped forward and tapped a few times on the keyboard. Suddenly, a picture popped up on the originally dark computer screen, and the angle of the picture was exactly the lobby on the first floor of the administrative building.
The security guard's already pale face turned even paler. Seeing them like this, Principal Zhang was even more certain that they were up to something.
Principal Zhang looked at the two people coldly: "Aren't you going to confess yet?"
Things have come to this point, there is no point in covering it up anymore. The two security guards bowed and apologized with sad faces.
"I'm sorry, Principal. We were just confused for a moment..."
"We shouldn't lie, Principal Zhang. Please give us another chance. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of..."
Principal Zhang was unmoved and pressed, "What's going on? Tell me!"
One of the security guards tremblingly pulled out a card from his pocket. "It's from the daughter of the Mu Group. She wants us to delete all the surveillance cameras in the lobby on the first floor of the administration building and then destroy them. If we do as she says, she'll give us 200,000 yuan each. Here's the card..."
Putting the card on the table next to them, the two men in their forties were about to cry.
