Chapter 200: Checking the Surveillance

Translator: Zayn_

“What do you mean-”

“It looks like it’s been formatted?”

Song Qingyou didn’t understand.

So had it been formatted or not?

“It means that the computer itself has not been restored to the factory settings, but the files inside have been deleted,” Fang Yan explained hurriedly.

Two seconds later, he added, “Everything was deleted very cleanly.”

“Can you take me to that computer?” Song Qingyou asked.

“I’m afraid-”

Supervisor Lin wanted to refuse

He felt that Song Qingyou wanted to join in the fun.

Fang Yan interrupted him and said, “Miss Song found that program on Zhuang

Wei’s computer yesterday. Maybe she can find something this time…”

“Miss Song, please.”

Song Qingyou smiled. “Assistant Fang, you don’t have to be so polite. You should call me Secretary Song.”

Fang Yan immediately changed his words.

The three of them walked towards the floor where the Planning Department was located.

Luo Zhen’s computer was now off-limits, and it was surrounded by people.

If Song Qingyou wanted to touch it, she had to wear gloves.

Most of the people in the Planning Department were still in the cafeteria, including Yu Muhuai.

Therefore, with Fang Yan and the department head around, no one came over.

Song Qingyou naturally wouldn’t show off her hacking skills in front of outsiders. She just used the method she used yesterday to search through Zhuang Wei’s computer to find something that might still exist in Luo Zhen’s computer.

There must be signs before sudden death.

For example, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.

A normal person would definitely call the emergency number or use other methods to ask for help because this was a human’s survival instinct.

However, from what Fang Yan and the others had said, Luo Zhen might have taken advantage of this time to delete the things on the computer, thus delaying the time to ask for help.

This period of time was definitely not long, and the possibility of deleting all the files was very low.

Song Qingyou thought that she would be able to find some traces.

However, the reality was beyond her expectations.

Although there are some folders labeled with the names of other companies, they were all empty.

Just as Director Lin had said, this computer seemed to have been formatted.

Even if she used some other methods, she could not find any traces left behind!

The names of these files seemed to be mocking those who were trying to find evidence.

Seeing Song Qingyou’s hands move away from the keyboard and mouse, Director Lin asked with anticipation, “How is it? Did Secretary Song find anything?”

Song Qingyou shook her head.

The two of them couldn’t help but look disappointed.

Song Qingyou frowned. “Sudden death usually doesn’t take too long. I saw that Luo Zhen’s computer had saved files everywhere, so I opened them all.”

“He doesn’t have the habit of sorting his files. The deleted files aren’t categorized either.”

“What do you mean?” Director Lin was a little confused.

“It means that it’s impossible to delete the files scattered in various storage spaces in such a short period of time.”

“Are you suspecting that someone helped Luo Zhen delete the contents of the computer?” he asked in surprise.

“It’s just a possibility.” Song Qingyou said, “Let’s take a look at the surveillance footage first.”

When the police arrived, they must have only seen the surveillance footage from before and after Luo Zhen’s sudden death, as well as the time when the cleaner found the body.

What they wanted to see was whether anyone had been here the entire night after Luo Zhen’s sudden death.

The three of them went to the monitoring room in the blink of an eye.

“Logically speaking, no one should be able to come in. The security guards have to lock the door every day, and Luo Zhen was only secretly working overtime…”

“Unless there was someone hiding in the company at that time.”

Fang Yan’s guess was reasonable, but it did not make sense.

Luo Zhen’s body had been identified by the police. He must have died suddenly.

Who would have known that he would suddenly die? This was simply impossible.

Therefore, it was absolutely nonsense for someone to hide in the company in advance just to help Luo Zhen delete the documents.

Song Qingyou also knew that it was impossible.

Then, they asked the security staff who was on duty last night.

“Who is in charge of patrolling the entire building after work?” Song Qingyou asked again.

“It’s me.” Jiang Xuyan raised his hand.

“Last night, I went up with the cameraman from the program team to patrol. At that time, I didn’t see Luo Zhen at the company, nor did I see anyone else. The camera recorded the entire process of the patrol.”

The few people standing beside Jiang Xuyan all heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuyan was the one in charge of the patrol last night. He had a video to prove that he was not lazy.

Otherwise, the people from the security department would have to take the blame.

The group had no choice but to continue watching the surveillance cameras.

Since there were only so many monitors in the monitoring room, the people on duty at night would basically only check the surveillance cameras around the company to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

Therefore, the surveillance cameras of the Planning Department were not within the scope of inspection.

Fortunately, the surveillance cameras inside were all turned on and there were recordings.

The process of Luo Zhen’s sudden death was also completely recorded.

“Looks like there’s nothing unusual…Could it be that Luo Zhen’s computer is like Zhuang Wei’s and someone can delete files remotely…”

Fang Yan had just made such a guess when the clear surveillance video was suddenly filled with static.

“What’s going on?” Director Lin was shocked. “The surveillance cameras aren’t broken, are they?!”

The video showed that the static screen lasted for an hour or two before returning to normal.

No one knew if someone had gone in and done something in those two hours. After all, the cameras in the company could not be without blind spots.

The people from the security department looked as if they had seen a ghost and said at once,

“We check these surveillance cameras every day. There shouldn’t be any problems!”

“Could there be a problem with the quality of the surveillance cameras?”

“Assistant Fang, this has nothing to do with our security department!”

The monitoring room was noisy, and Fang Yan’s frown deepened.

In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and scolded, “Enough! I didn’t say that this was your problem. You don’t have to be in a hurry to explain!”

Everyone instantly fell silent.

“Even if the quality of the camera isn’t up to standard, it can’t be so coincidental that something went wrong at such a crucial time,” Song Qingyou said.

“The current guess is that someone deleted the evidence on the computer. Assistant Fang can start with colleagues who are close to Luo Zhen and see who is suspicious.”

To be able to sneak into the company without being discovered, it was most likely an internal employee.

Fang Yan understood immediately. After thanking Song Qingyou, he quickly got to work.

When Song Qingyou returned to the secretary department, Lin Hui and the rest were also discussing this matter while Shen Fei wasn’t around.

However, they were more concerned about the impact of the matter than the ins and outs of the matter.

“If the news of an employee’s sudden death reaches the shareholders and they haven’t resolved it yet, they might make an issue out of this matter and dismiss Mr. Jiang from his position.”

“That serious?” Song Qingyou was stunned.

“That’s what people who want Mr. Jiang to step down will definitely do.”

“We’re secretaries, so we don’t know about this either. However, if Mr. Jiang leaves and is replaced by the Old Master Jiang, our lives will be hard.”

The pessimistic people sighed.

Lin Hui patted Song Qingyou’s shoulder comfortingly and reminded them, “Don’t talk too much about things that haven’t happened yet. Trouble comes from your mouth.”

The group quickly changed the topic..
