Chapter 146 Tracking
Shao Ting is not someone who would easily go back on his word, so Jiang Wan felt relieved to hear that.
But not long after the man left, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Wan was stunned. His first reaction was of course that it was Shao Ting who had returned, but when he looked at the smart cat's eye, he found that it was not Shao Ting, but the property manager of the community.
A man and a woman, both looked to be in their late thirties. They would occasionally say hello to Jiang Wan when they saw them.
She thought for two seconds, half-opened the door and looked at the man standing slightly in front of her, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Manager Hu, you came to see me so late, is there something wrong?"
The two men who were raising their hands to continue knocking on the door froze in place the moment they saw her.
The girl's appearance at this moment was too stimulating to people's sensory nerves. Her soft and fluffy dark black hair was a little messy, and her porcelain white skin was flushed with pink, spreading from her thin and upturned nose bone to the base of her ears. The strands of hair on her forehead were still a little wet, and it looked... like she was hot.
But it did make the two people outside the door lose consciousness for several seconds.
Hu Wenqin reacted and exchanged glances with the supervisor beside him, then said in a gentle voice: "Ms. Jiang, we are indeed sorry to bother you so late, but we are afraid that further delays will affect your safety, so we came directly here after seeing this."
Her safety?
Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little confused.
"What did you see?"
Hu Wenqin took the tablet from his supervisor and handed it to her.
"We didn't actually notice this at first, but this time the head office happened to come to inspect our work, so we checked all the surveillance footage."
"It turned out that the surveillance records between 6:20 and 6:40 yesterday morning were deleted, and they are not the kind that ordinary people can recover."
"We realized something was wrong, so we took some time to find professionals and used technical means to finally recover it. We finally confirmed that it was most likely related to you."
Jiang Wan had already heard the seriousness of the matter. He took the tablet and clicked the video play button. A surveillance screen that could accurately identify faces appeared on the screen.
The video is obviously a deliberate combination of footage recorded by several surveillance cameras at different angles and at different times, so it looks relatively coherent.
The time point should be the night before yesterday after she and Jiang Xu came back from Lu Lin Mansion. In the surveillance footage, she got out of the car from the passenger seat of Jiang Xu's car, waved goodbye to the man, and then walked into the community to the downstairs of the building where she rented the house, and entered the elevator by scanning her face.
So far, there was nothing unusual, but after a period of accelerated processing, Jiang Wan soon saw a man with a very unremarkable figure and appearance appear.
The other person walked almost the same route as her, and then began to wander around the gardens of the entire community.
The man should have left halfway, and finally appeared at the gate of the community again around six in the morning, obviously waiting for something to happen.
To be honest, when she returned home, the neighborhood was crowded with people, and the other party's behavior was not particularly noticeable. If the data was not retrieved separately, it would be difficult for anyone to notice anything wrong.
Jiang Wan's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked softly, "Manager Hu, do you want to say that someone is following me?"
Hu Wenqin nodded and showed her the surveillance video from the morning before yesterday, which showed the other person following him at a distance.
"Someone was indeed following you, and they must have been following you for a whole day. We guess that the other party is someone who specializes in this business, has a lot of experience, and has proof that he can enter the community."
"But there are so many people coming and going in the community every day. If it weren't for your travel trajectory, there would be no sign of anything unusual, and the community security guards really didn't notice anything wrong."
Jiang Wan lowered her eyelashes and quickly heard the key point.
"In that case, what brought him to your attention?"
Hu Wenqin pursed his lips: "So the key point of finding you this time is actually related to another person."
Someone else?
Jiang Wan raised her eyes slightly and saw Hu Wenqin scrolling to the next video for her, and then clicked the play button again.
It was around six o'clock in the morning yesterday. The man who was following her was wandering casually under the tree path at the entrance of the community, making phone calls from time to time.
But as he looked, Jiang Wan's gaze suddenly stopped.
It was still dark at this time, and the surveillance camera was actually a bit far away, but one could still see an extremely tall and upright figure gradually appearing in the field of vision.
The man was dressed in black, with his hat brim pulled down low. His skin was translucent and pale, and the half-smoked cigarette butt between his lips was scarlet, burning faintly in the darkness. He gave off a sense of loneliness and toughness, like the edge of a steep cliff.
He stared at the person who was following her for a few seconds. The moment he put out his cigarette, he stepped closer and smashed the back of the person's head against a tree trunk. Then he clamped the person's arm, twisted it with his backhand, snatched the phone, threw it on the ground, and crushed it.
There is no sound in the video, but the man's hideous and painful expression is enough to show how much brutal force the man used.
But someone who is capable of tracking is certainly not completely without skills. She took advantage of the moment when the man tried to grab the phone, pulled out a sharp knife from her waist, and stabbed the man in the waist and abdomen with her backhand.
Fortunately, just when the tip of the knife was about to pierce in, the man grabbed the back of his neck and hit him hard several times, leaving him unable to resist.
The man almost slowly snatched the knife from his hand and slapped it on his face. After saying something, he pressed the man's left hand against the tree trunk without any hesitation and stabbed the knife into the back of his hand very neatly.
Blood appeared almost instantly.
The piercing pain made the man's veins bulge, and his expression became more and more ferocious, but he could only nod his head in response.
The man finally let go, and the man staggered two steps and couldn't stand up. Finally, he collapsed to the ground. After a long while, the man picked him up by the back and dragged him away on the ground.
Just when the two figures were about to disappear from the screen, the man seemed to suddenly remember something. He suddenly stopped, turned sideways slowly, and looked straight in the direction of the surveillance camera.
Jiang Wan's pupils shrank almost instinctively. When she thought she was about to see the man's appearance, the video screen suddenly went black.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and before she could ask the question, she heard Hu Wenqin's questioning voice.
"Hmm? There should be more than ten seconds left."
