Trickster Hunter

Chapter 136 Surveillance Video

"What's wrong, Xiao Yin? You can't hold on anymore?" The middle-aged man raised his head, "You young people just can't bear the hardship. I think back then, I..."

"It's not this...Team leader, I just saw something..." Yin Xiang stared at the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the office, "flying past the window."

"What did you say?!" The team leader suddenly stood up, and the air flow immediately caused several pages of documents in front of him to fall to the ground.

"I said... I just saw something flying past the window..." Yin Xiang nervously repeated what he just said, "That thing was very fast, and I didn't see it clearly. What does it look like?”

"Are you sure it's not your imagination?" Another colleague asked, "It's normal to feel in a trance after working overtime at high intensity for so long."

"It's not an illusion! I really saw it, that thing is white and exudes a faint fluorescence..." Yin Xiang realized the key point after saying this, "Okay... it seems to be the thing we are looking for! "

"Notify the Information Department immediately! Security Department! Assemble the surveillance video!" the team leader said immediately, "In addition, ask the hunters who are waiting nearby to come over immediately!"

After saying this, the team leader turned to look at Yin Xiang: "Xiao Yin, let me confirm with you one last time, did you really see that white shadow?"

Yin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"I hope you can take responsibility for what you said." The team leader pulled away and walked towards the door of the office. After walking a few steps, he turned back, opened the drawer, took out the pistol inside, and inserted it under his ribs. Inside the holster.

"Bring your own weapons," the team leader said to the investigators in the office. "It's no longer safe here."

…

…

Fifteen minutes later, Tianfu City Anomaly Investigation Bureau Building, General Control Room.

The small general monitoring room was already crowded with people, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the screens hanging on the wall. As the progress bar of the surveillance video was dragged bit by bit, Yin Xiang finally I have a deep understanding of what it feels like to be "sweaty".

"I remember I just finished saying that. It was still half an hour before twelve o'clock. If Xiao Yin saw a shadow flying outside the window, then this shadow should appear on the surveillance screen during this time. ." said the team leader.

However, the Bureau of Investigation's surveillance cameras captured nothing.

The date, time, and location were all correct. Yin Xiang also recognized that the brightly lit window was his office on the sixth floor of Building A of the Investigation Bureau Building. After zooming in on the screen, he even saw someone sitting by the window. The female colleague looking through the documents.

"There is nothing abnormal about the video files." The technician responsible for accessing the surveillance video said, "That is the fact. The camera did not capture any 'white shadow flying past the window.'"

Yin Xiang could feel that more than half of the dozens of lines of sight in the main monitoring room moved from the screen to himself.

He couldn't help but think of the story of "The Wolf Cried" that his mother told him when he was a child.

But he never thought that one day he would become the protagonist in this story.

The shepherd boy who cried wolf was doing something bad on his own, and he was just unlucky.

"Let me tell you, Yin Xiang must be too tired and hallucinating." The colleague who questioned Yin Xiang before smiled and said, "But you can't blame him for this. Team leader, in my opinion, it's better to let everyone go." Let’s take a day off. After everyone has a rest, their work efficiency will increase. Sharpening your sword will not waste time chopping wood.”

"Yin Xiang, can you describe in detail what you saw?" A senior leader of the Investigation Bureau came over, pressed his hand on Yin Xiang's shoulder, and asked seriously.

"Hey... let me think about it..." Yin Xiang closed his eyes hard and began to recall, "Just like what the team leader said, it was just after 11:30, and the team leader had just finished shouting... Then My eyes feel a little sore, reading the handwriting on the file is a bit... I was about to look into the distance to give my eyes a break. The moment I raised my head, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a pale shadow from the corner of my eye. It flew past the window in a swish. I was so scared. I froze right there.”

"That is to say, you didn't see the shadow directly, right?" Another investigator asked, "Could it be that what you saw out of the corner of your eye was a moth flying nearby? You didn't "You can see double images in the words on the document, and you can be forgiven for mistaking the moths flying in the room for the white shadows flashing outside the window."

"It can't be a moth." The team leader shook his head, tugged on the cotton coat he was wearing, and said seriously, "Although it is June now, don't forget that under the influence of eternal night, the average temperature at night in Shuzhou is At such a temperature...the moths would have been frozen to death."

"Yes, at this time in previous years, mosquitoes have already become a problem... My body is particularly attracted to mosquitoes, so I know it very well." Another female investigator repeatedly echoed, "But this year, since the eternal night has fallen, , I haven’t been bitten by a mosquito even once.”

"Then what do you think Yin Xiang saw?" The leader looked at the others and asked.

Everyone looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.

"According to me, we still need to organize people to check the investigation bureau inside and out." The team leader said, "The last time the white shadow appeared was on the roof of Shengshu Securities. When we investigated the scene, we found a large area of ​​crushed marks on the glass curtain wall. We even calculated the mass of the strange object based on these marks... If 'it' really appeared in the investigation bureau this time, it must have left some traces - as long as we can find these traces, we can prove that what Yin Xiang saw was not an illusion."

"That makes sense...Okay, let's do as you say, and the task of allocating personnel will be..."

Before the leader finished speaking, a breathless security guard broke open the door of the main monitoring room and shouted incoherently: "It appeared! It appeared again! That shadow!"

"What? Are you saying that the white shadow appeared again? Where? Who saw it?" The team leader asked hurriedly.

"On the roof of Building C, a white glowing shadow flashed by in less than half a second." The security guard took a breath and continued, "My two colleagues and I were checking the roof of Building A at that time. When we turned around, we saw that shadow appeared on the roof of Building C... Not only me, but Du Cheng and Lou Haoyong also saw it!"

The Du Cheng and Lou Haoyong he mentioned were the other two security guards who checked the roof of Building A with him.

"Where are they?"

"Still guarding the same place." The security guard handed the walkie-talkie in his hand to the team leader.

"So, what Yin Xiang saw was not an illusion... But why is there nothing in the surveillance footage?" An investigator asked in confusion.

"There's nothing strange." A hunter who had been sitting in the corner and had not spoken much suddenly said, "There are some strange things that you can't see with your naked eyes, but you can use camera equipment to take pictures of them... There are some strange things, which are just the opposite."
