“Ms. An, don’t you know that criminals often destroy the surveillance cameras first before proceeding to commit the crime? That’s because they’re afraid that their faces will be caught on camera.”

An Xiaoning remained quiet before saying, “The footage is so long, it’s going to take me quite a bit of time to watch everything. It’s really tiring to be standing up like this. Would you let me sit down and continue watching while you go get some rest?”

“Alright, sure.”

While he was standing up, An Xiaoning had casually stuffed something into his pocket, which Fan Shixin had noticed. However, the guard did not discover anything unusual at all.

After she sat down, the guard said, “I’ll need to use the washroom.”

“Go ahead.”

The guard then exited. Fan Shixin stepped forward and said, “Something’s off about him.”

“Yeah, I noticed that he was sitting upright when we first entered and his legs were shaking continuously when we were talking. Although they were only trembling slightly, I could still see it. On top of that, he’s been pressing his lips tightly together whenever he wasn’t speaking, as if he was under tremendous stress. He may seem composed in general, but there were some bits of his actions that gave it away.”

An Xiaoning turned around and faced away from the monitor. She was not interested in watching the surveillance camera footages at all because she saw no point in it.

She whipped out her mobile phone and put on her earphones.

Upon hearing the guard’s voice in her earphones, she pressed the button to begin recording.

The guard was making a call, and his voice sounded extremely soft.

“Ms. An is here at the guardroom and she’s brought a man along with her. They’re watching the surveillance camera footages.”

“…”

“She only asked if any of our security officers died. Other than that, she didn’t ask much. I still feel a little worried after hearing what she said. Why would she ask such a question?”

“…”

“Alright, got it.”

She removed her earphones and switched off the entire surveillance system of the estate, including the cameras inside the guardroom.

The monitors instantly turned pitch dark.

“It’s just like what we had expected.”

Fan Shixin turned around and walked toward the door. He then shot An Xiaoning a glance to hint that the guard had returned.

Upon discovering that the system had been shut down, he asked, “What happened to the surveillance cameras?”

“I’m sorry, but I think I pressed the wrong button by accident and turned off all the monitors.”

Feeling a little nervous and jittery, the guard said, “It’s alright, I’ll just turn it on again.”

He stepped forward and extended a hand in a bid to press the button.

However, he froze in shock just as he extended his arm.

A gun was held against his head.

Fan Shixin was standing beside him with the gun, and the door of the guardroom was also closed.

An Xiaoning unplugged her earphones and played the recording once more.

Frightened beyond his senses, the guard’s legs turned to jelly and he stared wide-eyed at An Xiaoning, who removed the recording device from his pocket. He had no idea when she’d stuffed it inside either.

That’s it, I’m finished! he thought to himself.

“I’ll shoot you right now if you still refuse to speak the truth.”

The guard crumbled and fell onto his knees. “Ms. An, please spare my life. I really have no idea about anything. I still have a family to feed, I don’t want to die.”

“Tell me everything you know. I won’t tell anyone that you were the one who leaked it and I’ll even spare your life. After all, you don’t exactly have anything to do with planning the scheme. You just have to come clean and tell me everything truthfully.”

He was trembling uncontrollably from head to toe like a sifter.

He explained, “Last night, one of my colleagues, Yang Yong, passed away. They claimed that he committed suicide, but we all know that he was murdered, though we have no idea who the murderer is. We merely received orders from our superiors, who told us not to spout any nonsense, lest we end up dying like Yang Yong. We’re just a bunch of small fry, and we wouldn’t dare to embroil ourselves in such a serious situation. Ms. An, I really don’t know anything.”

“Stand up.”

He stood up unsteadily while his limbs quivered uncontrollably.

“Where did Yang Yong live?”

He told her the truth and said, “Ms. An, on account that I have a family, please don’t say that I was the one who told you.”

“Got it. Give me a set of your uniform. We’ll return it to you later.”

He immediately handed her a spare set of his uniform.

Without further delay, An Xiaoning and Fan Shixin left the place.

The guard sat down on the chair, breaking out in cold sweat.

He was completely terrorized by what happened earlier.

After leaving the estate, they headed straight to Yang Yong’s residential address.

His family were in the midst of mourning and organizing his funeral. An Xiaoning whispered softly to Fan Shixin and told him to follow her instructions. His eyes lit up and he nodded.

He took the recording device from her, changed into the guard’s uniform, and quickly got down from the car.

Fan Shixin did not look any less charming in the uniform, although it was rather tight on him because of his tall stature.

One would look good in anything as long as they had a killer figure, be it a man or a woman.

He looked like a model even in a uniform.

An Xiaoning put on the headphones and sat in the car quietly while listening closely to the sounds coming out of her earphones.

There were all sorts of miscellaneous sounds that were going on continuously in the background.

Once Fan Shixin found Yang Yong’s wife, he explained to her that he was a security officer in Sanqiao Estate. The latter immediately believed him at the sight of his uniform.

After hearing that he had something important to tell her, Yang Yong’s wife brought him to a secluded room.

The miscellaneous noises faded.

“Sis, our boss wants me to ask you about Brother Yang’s birth characters and exact birth timing. Do you know what they are?”

“I’m aware of his birth date but not his birth timing. Why do you need those?”

“Our boss said that he’d like to hire a medium to perform a ritual to let Brother Yang go in peace, on account of him having been a hardworking employee.”

Yang Yong’s wife nodded and sighed. “I’ll go ask my mother-in-law. Please give me a moment.”

“Alright.”

She returned soon after and informed Fan Shixin of Yang Yong’s birth characters and timing.

Being extra meticulous, Fan Shixin continued to probe, “Apart from my colleagues, has there been anyone else who came by to look for you?”

“No, but we received a parcel containing a sum of cash and a note saying that that was a compensation for our family. Your superior has come to look for me and instructed us not to tell anyone of this matter, so as to prevent the reputation of the estate from being tarnished. He even threatened to harm us if we don’t compromise. Hence, we didn’t dare to spout any nonsense to anyone, not even our closest friends and family. I only said that he had gotten into a fatal car accident. Well, there’s nothing we can do since we still have to live.”

“Yes, it’s best not to spout nonsense to anyone. I’ll take my leave now, then.”

“Sure.”

Fan Shixin returned to the car and asked An Xiaoning, who was sitting in the passenger’s seat, “Do those birth characters and timing belong to him?”

“Yes, they do. Change out of the uniform, we’ll head back now.”

“Alright.”

They returned to Sanqiao Estate, where An Xiaoning returned the uniform to the guard inside the guardroom. Noticing that she was about to go to the hospital, Fan Shixin asked in puzzlement, “Young Madam, you’ve gotten his birth characters and timing. Aren’t you going to do something with them?”
