Chapter 2508: Chapter 2508: Clues
Bubble Bean squeezed the bloodied arm of Bi Qinglian harder, causing the blood to flow faster.
"Not this one, look at the files behind, check the time!" Bi Qinglian shouted shamefully.
Xu Huo found the file. The footage from this shoot was facing the doorway of the room. At first, there was music, then the door and windows shook as if there was an earthquake. Following this, footsteps sounded inside the room, and a young woman walked into the frame and directly opened the door.
Outside the door stood a tall man in a black hoodie. His hat covered his head, and his face was tightly concealed. He reached out to the young woman, and she immediately lost the ability to resist, swaying as she followed him out.
The content didn’t end there. A second later, the hoodie man appeared in front of the camera, showing only his enlarged clothing details, and then the footage cut off.
"This is all I captured," Bi Qinglian said through gritted teeth, "I’ve been studying this video all day, trying to find out the man’s identity. Unfortunately, he’s too cautious, his attire was altered, and he didn’t wear any visible props, leaving no clues at all!"
"Xiao Dong was taken by them, and we still don’t know what’s happened to her..." As he spoke, he actually began to cry, "If anything happens to Xiao Dong, I will take a lifetime to avenge her!"
"You perverted voyeur, stop saying such righteous words," Bubble Bean slapped him, "Spill it, any other information!"
"I’m not a pervert!" Bi Qinglian defended himself, "I just like Xiao Dong too much but didn’t dare to say it, so I wanted to protect her in this way..."
The words weren’t finished when the Girl in the painting leaned her face in front of him from above, blinking at him, and then raised the communicator, "You’re bleeding out fast."
Bi Qinglian then remembered his life was hanging by a thread and immediately began to complain, "I just have a peculiar hobby, I haven’t done anything wrong, you can’t treat me like this!"
Xu Huo said while checking the previously recorded footage, "District 001 usually deals harshly with harassment offenses. You’re not a player from this zone, and you’ve stayed here, probably unable to leave, too afraid of jail to face others, so you spy on girls like this."
"If you truly believe you did nothing wrong, why hide?"
Bi Qinglian, caught at his heart’s matter, softened, "I genuinely like her, but she’s beautiful and kind, the best girl in the world, I don’t deserve her..."
Bubble Bean slapped him again, "Who wants to hear your brainless love story, say something useful!"
"Everything I know is in the video!" Bi Qinglian, afraid of being hit again, quickly said, "I don’t know anything else."
What was actually captured of the Wan Family incident was very short. Such a brief content barely reveals that the Wan Family was indeed kidnapped and not missing with no trace.
Xu Huo wanted to see the previous content. The surveillance device should be placed inside a pendant, and each activation was after the young woman returned to the room, hardly capturing anything outside, indicating that besides the surveillance camera, this Player also observed the Wan Family’s movements in other ways, or he couldn’t have known so accurately when to activate the surveillance without being discovered.
"Before this, did any special people or incidents happen at the Wan Family? Think carefully."
Bi Qinglian initially wanted to say no but swallowed his words upon seeing his expression, tried to recall, and said, "There’ve been too many people coming and going at the Wan Family recently, it’s like everyone is special, but then again, it’s not really..."
The Girl in the painting gave him a knock on the forehead, "Why are you babbling so much!"
Unable to come up with anything, Bi Qinglian resignedly said, "I have a crush on Xiao Dong, how could I pay attention to others, plus Xiao Dong seems to be in a relationship recently, I couldn’t mind other people if I wanted to..."
Bubble Bean’s hand raised again, and the person in the chair fell silent.
"Do you have a photo or video of that person?" Xu Huo asked.
Bi Qinglian paused for a moment, then immediately perked up, "There’s a storage device under the bed."
Bubble Bean pulled out the storage device, the previous was voyeurism, this was covert filming, with photos and videos all of Wan Dong going to school or playing outside, including quite a few males, this pervert with a dark mind even tracked and dug dirt on males who interacted with Wan Dong.
Most of those frequently socializing with Wan Dong were ordinary people, whose information was not noteworthy. The Players were mostly familiar with the Wan Family, but there were a few seldom-seen ones, particularly a Mi family young man under close scrutiny. His parents worked in the government, with his father stationed in Cat Fruit Town, but his mother worked at a higher level in the government, holding a significant position.
The Mi family youth was pursuing Wan Dong, and they had many opportunities of being seen together. From the secretly filmed videos, they seemed mutually fond of each other.
"This Mi surnamed guy, his height and build somewhat resemble the person who took Wan Dong," Bubble Bean said.
"Height and build are easy to disguise." Xu Huo refrained from making judgments easily; he’d wait until he actually saw the person. Additionally, previously Buzz Cut mentioned the Mi Family knowing the inside story, a visit to the Mi Family was certainly necessary.
"Take me with you, I want to go too!" Bi Qinglian immediately said, "Maybe the Mi Family is behind this, Xiao Dong was taken by that beast!"
Bubble Bean glanced at Xu Huo and made a neck-slashing gesture.
Seeing this, Bi Qinglian hurriedly added, "Take me with you, I’ll definitely be of help, I know many people related to the Wan Family, I’m sure to recognize those unknown to you!"
Xu Huo pondered briefly and said, "Bring him along."
Bubble Bean had no choice but to give him an antidote injection, "Clean up your face."
Bi Qinglian quickly made a fake face and quietly followed them.
"You’re familiar with the Wan Family, do you know this person?" Xu Huo showed the photo of the Long-haired Player.
"Oh, him, he’s the Wan Family’s adopted son," Bi Qinglian said, "This person is a Rank-A Player, very capable, he has a Beast Fighting Platform prop that can control opponents for five minutes; within those five minutes, unless he dies, no one can escape the Beast Fighting Platform."
"How large is the range of this Beast Fighting Platform?"
"I saw it once, it could trap a medium-sized community without any problem," Bi Qinglian recalled and added, "He was probably killed first, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for the Wan Family to be kidnapped so easily."
Xu Huo nodded, "You haven’t left since the incident?"
"How would I dare?" Bi Qinglian said, "That person damaged the surveillance, he’d definitely come for me afterward. I still need to avenge Xiao Dong, how can I die like this!"
"You’re unclear about the Mi Family’s situation as well?" Xu Huo asked again, "Everything’s been normal with the Mi Family these past couple of days?"
