Chapter 677 Why is there surveillance?
The case only requires a brief touch.

Chen Xiao believed that any detective with some ability could actually find the problem.

There was something wrong with the mode of transportation chosen by the deceased Professor Yuan Keyu!

This is one of them.

Second: Professor Yuan Keyu was neither born nor worked in Zhushan City or Xiaozhuang South Town. Why did he come here?
Third: Yuan Keyu's family was relatively well-off from childhood to adulthood, which is why he was able to receive top-notch education. Therefore, the place where Professor Yuan Keyu lived in the past was not as bad as the one he is in now.

People’s living habits are very strange things.

He can make a person subconsciously want to copy and paste wherever he goes.

Chen Xiao felt that there were too many suspicious points about Professor Yuan Keyu's coming to Xiaozhuang South Town.

It can even be said that a place like Xiaozhuangnan Town is not a place Professor Yuan Keyu would go to at all.

Everything goes wrong for a reason.

Chen Xiao sat on the chair, as if a big tree was planted in his mind.

The foundation of the big tree is Professor Yuan Keyu.

The trunk is Xiaozhuangnan Town.

The branches represent the infinite possibilities that Professor Yuan Keyu encountered when he came to Xiaozhuangnan Town.

Regarding possible speculation, Chen Xiao believes that there should be a very special person in Xiaozhuang South Town.

If there is no one, that's a problem.

But the probability of this happening is not high in Chen Xiao's opinion.

Because Yuan Keyu has been studying and working abroad for many years, he only decided to return to serve his country after receiving an invitation from his motherland recently.

For a person who has been abroad for a long time, there should be no intersection between him and China, especially places he has never been to.

It is more logical that only people drive events.

Chen Xiao was wondering if Yuan Keyu had met someone abroad.

And that person happened to be from Xiaozhuangnan Town, Zhushan City.

After all, Zhushan City has a characteristic: decades ago, many people went abroad, either to work or to live abroad for a long time.

If Yuan Keyu had some interaction with someone from Zhushan City while abroad, then the possibility of him coming to Xiaozhuang South Town would be greatly increased.

It’s a pity that as Professor Yuan Keyu’s wife and children, they were all very sure that none of Yuan Keyu’s friends were from Zhushan City.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help feeling helpless.

The breakthrough point in the case was blocked so tightly that it seemed as if there were not walls of earth but walls of iron and steel blocking the way.

Chen Xiao sat in the chair for a while, then opened his eyes.

He felt that instead of thinking about the reason why Yuan Keyu came to Xiaozhuang South Town, it would be better to try to see if he could solve the mystery of the secret room.

Chen Xiao stood up and locked the door.

Even the window was completely sealed in his mind at this moment.

In such a state, how could Yuan Keyu be killed and even skinned?
After thinking it over, Chen Xiao felt that there was only one possibility.

That is, the murderer never left the house from beginning to end.

But if he had been staying here all the time, how did he leave?
There are surveillance cameras in the corridor.

The only escape window was sealed.

And the glue used directly sealed the entire window!
If the window was opened and then resealed with glue, the police would be able to identify it from the traces at a glance.

But whether it is the photos taken on the scene or the on-site investigation records conducted by Cao Xiuyuan, they all show that the window has not been touched for at least several years!

The window was left untouched.

The surveillance camera did not capture anyone entering or leaving.

Could it be that a ghost entered the house and killed and skinned the person?

Chen Xiao felt that the murderer was too clever in this regard. So clever that the three police files could not solve the mystery of his secret room.

Chen Xiao wondered if there was something fishy in the surveillance video.

Unfortunately, all he had seen were paper and photo materials, and he had not yet come across any video materials.

But on second thought, Cao Xiuyuan is one of the best detectives in the province.

Chen Xiao also learned from Qin Fei that Cao Xiuyuan was a trace investigator and he was extremely sensitive to details and traces.

Therefore, there should be no problem with the inspection of surveillance and investigation of the crime scene.

Unless, there is a place that is perfect enough to deceive Cao Xiuyuan's eyes!

Chen Xiao was helpless.

But don't be discouraged.

He was making some advance preparations so that he could devote himself to solving the case more quickly after arriving in Zhushan City.

But soon, his heart moved again.

He was thinking, he was thinking about the problem from a detective's perspective.

If they change the angle, or if someone else thinks about this problem, will they have new insights?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao began to think about leaving.

So he got up, opened the locked door, then went out and locked the door again.

When preparing to leave, Chen Xiao subconsciously looked up at the surveillance camera.

Chen Xiao told Qin's mother that the house he wanted would preferably have surveillance cameras in the corridor.

Aunt Cai’s building is also equipped with surveillance cameras!

Just looking at the surveillance video, Chen Xiao's mind started to move again.

"That's not right. Surveillance cameras are not widely used in this era. Not to mention low-rent housing. Which landlord is so good and has such a strong sense of security that he would install surveillance cameras in a small low-rent housing?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao immediately called Aunt Cai.

The latter answered the call and asked in the same tone as before:
"Hey, Mr. Chen, do you have any questions?"

"Aunt Cai, I want to ask if your house has surveillance cameras installed on every floor?"

"Yup."

"Why do you want to install surveillance? The rent of this house is not high, but the cost of installing surveillance is not low."

Chen Xiao asked with a smile, but Aunt Cai began to hesitate.

"Ah... this, that... this is also for the safety of the tenants' lives and property!"

"So that's it!"

Chen Xiao didn't ask any further questions.

Because he knew that Aunt Cai was lying.

He admitted that some landlords were concerned about the personal and property safety of their tenants.

However, he does not think that landlords would be so concerned as to install surveillance cameras in their worthless rental houses in this day and age.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao said a few words casually and hung up the phone, then called Qin's mother.

"Auntie Qin, I just saw Aunt Cai's house and it's pretty good. But I have a question, are all the rental houses in your family equipped with surveillance cameras?"

Mother Tan: "Why would you want to install that? Not only is it very expensive, but if you want to install it you have to report it to the police station, which is very troublesome!"

Look... even Mrs. Qin, who has someone in the police force, thinks that installing surveillance cameras is a costly and troublesome thing. Is Aunt Cai really that kind?

Chen Xiao continued to ask tentatively: "Why does Aunt Cai's house have surveillance cameras?"

Mother Tan: "I don't know, it seems like he started pretending suddenly two years ago. Why don't you ask Xiao Fei about this, he might know!"
