Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Someone Installed Cameras
Hearing Yun Zijin say that, Li Yuexing knew he wouldn’t get any important information out of her today, so he didn’t press the issue.
Yun Zijin led the group through the front garden to the door of Villa 01, unlocking it with the initial password from the information provided by the "Randomly Spend" system.
Since no one had cleaned the place for a long time, a thick layer of dust had accumulated inside the villa.
"You’ll have to hire someone for a deep clean before anyone can live here, right?"
Li Yuexing entered the villa’s living room and looked around.
The decor was in a European palace style. A thorough cleaning would definitely take a lot of work.
"I’ll go check the things in the villa."
The villa had been vacant for so long; some appliances might have broken down from disuse.
"I’ll help you check."
Of course, Lu Yunque wasn’t going to just stand by and watch Yun Zijin work alone. He was the kind of man who saw what needed to be done.
Since Lu Yunque was helping, Li Yuexing didn’t feel right just standing around, so he went to help with the inspection too.
Meanwhile, Zero One and his team checked various parts of the villa, looking for pinhole cameras and other potential security risks.
「Thirty minutes later」
The ten of them regrouped in the villa’s living room.
"I checked the first floor. No problems."
"I checked the second floor. No problems there either."
"Right, the third floor is also fine."
Boyue Residence was, after all, a luxury villa community, so its quality control over furniture and appliances was quite good.
If things broke after being left for a while, it would seriously damage the developer’s reputation.
It was Zero One’s team who, to the contrary, pulled out several pinhole cameras and listening devices from their pockets and tossed them onto the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Seeing these, Yun Zijin frowned slightly. It seemed Boyue Residence’s security had its shortcomings.
"Can you trace the video feeds from these?"
This was her first time here, so she definitely hadn’t been filmed by these things before. But since they were installed in her house, Yun Zijin had every right to investigate.
"We can try."
There was only one remote device, and it had been installed a long time ago. Many of them had already run out of power and stopped working, so Zero One and his team weren’t sure if they could succeed.
Still, she had faith in them.
"Then you handle it. Report any issues to me immediately."
Yun Zijin couldn’t be bothered with these things. From now on, no one would be able to exploit any weaknesses in her house.
"Then we’ll start by upgrading the security system here."
After all, it was Yun Zijin’s house, so Zero One and his team were extremely dedicated.
"Hey, since there’s so much junk here at Zijing’s place, don’t you think you should check yours too?"
Although Lu Yunque had people scheduled to clean his house regularly, there was no guarantee that he hadn’t been targeted as well.
Criminals these days had endless tricks up their sleeves.
"I’m pretty much done here. Let’s go check your house."
Yun Zijin thought that if even her vacant house could be targeted, Lu Yunque’s house was certainly a much bigger target. The situation there might be even worse than hers.
Lu Yunque nodded, not refusing Yun Zijin and Li Yuexing’s suggestion.
The group left Villa 01, got back into the Jinsheng Hotel car, and drove to Villa 02.
Villa 02 had a smaller footprint than Villa 01, but it also came with its own front and back gardens, with the villa situated right in the middle.
The group followed Lu Yunque through the front garden to the villa’s door.
Lu Yunque stepped forward and unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
"Please help check the place."
Yun Zijin said to Zero One’s team of seven.
Zero One nodded slightly and led the others to inspect the villa.
The result was just as Yun Zijin and the others expected: Villa 02 was also bugged with various pinhole cameras.
Seeing the devices that Zero One’s team threw onto the living room table, Lu Yunque’s expression turned ugly.
"I think we need to report this to the police."
Both of their villas had been bugged with cameras. This was clearly not a coincidence.
"The camera models from both houses are basically identical. Our preliminary judgment is that it was done by the same group."
Zero One examined the cameras found in Villa 02 and compared them with those from Villa 01.
"Who would dare do something like this in Boyue Residence?"
You have to understand, Boyue Residence was a famous wealthy neighborhood in C City. Many of its residents were prominent figures in the city.
"No matter who it is, they won’t escape the law!"
"I’ll do it."
Yun Zijin’s influence, after all, wasn’t yet well-established. There was a difference between her reporting it to the police and Lu Yunque doing it.
Lu Yunque directly notified the Lu Group’s legal department. Then, taking the pile of evidence they had found, they got into the Jinsheng Hotel’s car and headed for the nearest police station.
「At the local police station.」
The officer on duty stared at the pinhole cameras, separated into two piles in transparent sealed bags on his desk, and felt a massive headache coming on.
’Causing trouble in a Boyue Residence house... Does this suspect have a death wish?’
"We understand your complaint, but we can’t be sure what video content, if any, the other party has recorded. We can’t draw any conclusions just yet, so this may take some time to process."
Police investigations take time. You can’t report a case and expect it to be solved instantly.
"My bodyguard knows a bit about network tracking. He can assist you in retrieving the videos."
Yun Zijin didn’t want to waste too much time on this matter, so she had Zero One and his team step in to help.
The officer glanced at Zero One’s team behind Yun Zijin, not entirely convinced by her words.
But since the person filing the report had said so, they couldn’t just ignore it.
"I need a computer."
Zero One stepped up to handle it himself.
’If Mei Lin were here, she wouldn’t even need a computer.’
"You can’t use the desktop. You can only use this laptop."
The officer pointed to an unused Alienware laptop on the desk.
To Zero One, it made no difference whether it was a laptop or a desktop.
After getting the officer’s permission, Zero One began his tracking work.
That officer wasn’t a computer expert. All he could see were Zero One’s fingers flying across the keyboard, moving so fast they left afterimages.
’He really knows his stuff?’
This display from Zero One left the officer completely dumbfounded.
’Do bodyguards have to be this multi-talented these days?’
"Isn’t the answer obvious?"
Yun Zijin lifted her chin slightly, her expression full of pride.
"I’ll go get someone to take a look at this."
If they could really trace the video feed, then whoever’s computer it was on would basically be the prime suspect.
The officer wasn’t a tech specialist himself, so he promptly went to find the station’s expert.
Before long, the officer returned with another officer. "Old Chen, come take a look at this."
The man called Old Chen had his eyes immediately glued to the screen Zero One was working on.
"This... this is too fast. I can’t even see clearly..."
"Wait, Xiao Zhou, where did you find this genius? Are we getting a new hire at the station?"
Old Chen had been busy and didn’t know what had happened this late at night, so he was still a bit confused.
