When Li Yalin boarded the plane to Australia, numerous ninjas from Japan also mobilised and immediately headed to China.
Thanks to China’s recent visa-free policy, hundreds of ninjas did not need to handle any prior procedures. They simply carried their passports and boarded charter flights provided by the Ito family from various airports to China.
Su Ruoli did not wait for these ninjas to arrive. She had already started the investigation with the He family first.
She borrowed several security personnel from the Su family from her sister Su Zhiyu. They hacked into the surveillance system of Tangchen Yipin and the road surveillance, retrieving all the surveillance footage from the past two days at once.
When they analysed these videos, they quickly found the footage of Xiao Churan’s family leaving in a business vehicle.
However, what surprised Su Ruoli was that when this car passed under the surveillance cameras, the interior could not be captured at all through the windows.
The rear windows were originally very dark privacy films, completely unable to see any scene inside the car. But the front windshield, under the surveillance cameras, inexplicably became a mirror surface.
Su Ruoli originally did not pay too much attention, but when she continuously tracked in the surveillance and followed to the highway, a weird thing happened.
The highway surveillance was not fully covered. The surveillance footage was in segments, with at least more than one kilometre interval between each segment. So in the previous surveillance footage, the car Xiao Churan was in was still captured very clearly in the frame. In the next surveillance footage, seven identical cars appeared.
Su Ruoli was immediately stunned. She blurted out, “What’s going on?! Where did these cars come from?!”
The Su family’s technical personnel explained, “Second Miss, these cars appeared suddenly. It seems they were already waiting on the road before, just not in the same frame previously. Now they have all converged together.”
Su Ruoli enlarged the frame, carefully staring at each car, frowning, “These cars look exactly the same, all without licence plates, and no distinctive features. This way, it’s impossible to determine which car Ye’s wife is actually in…”
Then, in the next surveillance footage, the same cars continued to increase.
Continuing to track along the surveillance, the technical personnel said in confusion, “Second Miss, here the same type of vehicles are still increasing continuously. Moreover, we found that in the surveillance footage, they are constantly overtaking each other along the way. Probably the same when not captured. In this case, it’s basically impossible for us to locate which one is the target vehicle.”
Su Ruoli’s expression was grave, “The other party not only came prepared, but prepared a bit too thoroughly…”
Another technical personnel blurted out, “Second Miss, from here, there are already cars exiting the highway. Should we continue tracking along the vehicles that exited the highway?”
Su Ruoli said, “We fundamentally cannot distinguish which one is the target vehicle. If we have to track every car, with just us few people, I’m afraid it’s not enough at all.”
With that, Su Ruoli thought of a detail and quickly asked, “Quickly check what channel they took when exiting the highway, manual channel or ETC.”
The technical personnel brought up the video footage of the toll station and said, “Second Miss, it’s ETC.”
Su Ruoli felt she had caught a clue and said, “Even if the car doesn’t have a hanging licence plate, when applying for ETC, vehicle information must be left. Check the records in the ETC system!”
The technical personnel busied themselves at the computer for a while, then said, “Found it, Second Miss. The licence plate number is a local Jinling plate, number CK196.”
Su Ruoli said excitedly, “Then quickly check the registration information of this CK196!”
