"How do you explain that limited-edition lipstick? I don't believe that with the financial resources of the hotel proprietress, she would be willing to buy such expensive cosmetics."

Huo Beixiao replied thoughtfully.

"Even if it can be proved that the lipstick belonged to Manli, it cannot be said that they must have been to the scene of the crime. Maybe the real culprit deliberately stole the lipstick and put it in the restaurant to blame her. You may It can't be completely ruled out, can it?"

Gu Nanyin couldn't help but forced a wry smile.

"You are purely conjecture without evidence."

Huo Beixiao nodded coldly.

"You're right. Before we get conclusive evidence, all our inferences are just speculations. You can imagine Qian Han as the murderer, and I can also assume his suspicion."

Gu Nanyin looked at the man suspiciously.

"Bei Xiao, I really don't understand why you are suddenly willing to speak up for him? From what aspect did he give you such confidence?"

Huo Beixiao slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"I've already mentioned the first point, and now I want to tell you the most critical second point. Qian Han's extreme desire for revenge and power is enough for him to eliminate all interference and concentrate on accumulating strength to wait for the explosion. Therefore, He will never ruin his path of ambition just to pursue a girl. This is the biggest reason why I judge that he is not a murderer."

Gu Nanyin sighed and shook her head lightly again.

"Your reason... I think it's still too far-fetched."

Huo Beixiao raised his eyebrows.

"Whether it's far-fetched or not, in short, we are now getting closer to the truth."

Gu Nanyin frowned slightly.

"What do you say? Did Assistant Lu find a new clue?"

Huo Beixiao nodded and whispered in Gu Nanyin's ear.

"Yesterday, Lu Qiran sent me a message saying that a surveillance camera was found near that bridge. If everything goes well, we can use the surveillance video to see exactly who stepped on the bridge that morning."

Hearing this, Gu Nanyin almost jumped up excitedly.

"Great! This is the strong evidence we need to find! As long as we have the video, we can successfully find out the murderer and give Wen Jun justice!"

Huo Beixiao was about to add something when his cell phone rang.

"Hey, Qiran, is there any new progress?"

When Gu Nanyin heard that it was Lu Qiran's call, she immediately held her breath and waited for Huo Beixiao to tell her the content of the call.

"Okay, I see. You continue to investigate, and notify me in time of any new developments."

Seeing Huo Beixiao put the phone aside, Gu Nanyin couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Did Assistant Lu find anything?"

Huo Beixiao's face was cold, and he didn't look very happy.After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and told the new situation.

It turned out that on the way Huo Beixiao and the others came to City B, Lu Qiran and the others had already rushed to the restaurant that sold mutton soup to investigate the situation.At first, the proprietress of the restaurant insisted that the lipstick was bought with her own money.But after Lu Qiran's hard work, she finally couldn't bear to tell the truth.

"I picked it up at the entrance of the hotel in the morning. I didn't know how much the lipstick was worth at the time. I was almost scared to death when I checked it online. I checked that at least [-]% of it was new, so I kept it for myself. Putting on lipstick in the store is, after all, just to show off."

After learning the truth, Lu Qiran bought the lipstick from the proprietress.Finally, she asked her if there was any suspicious person in the store that night. The proprietress showed Lu Qiran the surveillance video of the store that night. After careful observation, no suspicious person was found inside.

After leaving the hotel, Lu Qiran conducted a careful survey around the bridge.Finally, he found a surveillance camera not far from the bridgehead, which was the surveillance location that Huo Beixiao had just mentioned to Gu Nanyin.After visiting Lu Qiran, he obtained the surveillance video there, but just now, he reported bad news to Huo Beixiao.

"Mr. Huo, it may be because the camera is too old and the video inside is very blurry. So we have to find a professional video restoration team to repair the video before we can see the specific content inside. Of course, the worst case is The video cannot be repaired, and this possibility also exists.”

After Gu Nanyin listened to Huo Beixiao's narration, the hope that had just risen in her heart faded again.She really couldn't figure out why the fate of this child Wen Jun was so ill-fated, and why it was so difficult to find the truth for her?
Seeing Gu Nanyin's sad look, Huo Beixiao comforted him softly.

"Don't worry, since we have encountered difficulties, we have to find a way to overcome them. Besides, compared to the previous two days, the situation has become much clearer. What we have to do now is to concentrate and solve the problems in front of us."

Gu Nanyin raised her eyes slightly, muttering to herself while thinking.

"The immediate problem is to repair the surveillance video... If we can find a professional organization with outstanding capabilities, we may be able to pass this hurdle smoothly."

Huo Beixiao kissed Gu Nanyin lightly on the cheek.

"That's right! After straightening out the train of thought, everything will become extremely simple. I thought about it just now, and there is actually a very reliable company that can entrust this matter right now."

Gu Nanyin's pupils contracted rapidly, and she felt her breathing speed up a lot.

"You mean... this company is in City B?"

Huo Beixiao smiled slightly.

"That's right! I'm talking about the Sun Group, one of the four major families!"

Gu Nanyin was stunned, she never expected that Huo Beixiao would give such an answer.

"Isn't the Sun Group engaged in business? Why is it related to video restoration?"

Huo Beixiao's expression became serious.

"You don't know, the business scope of the Sun Group covers various fields. It has a branch called Chaoyang Electric, which specializes in the production of parts related to monitoring equipment. As far as I know, this company has repair The ability to monitor video.”

Gu Nanyin suddenly realized and nodded.

"So that's the case! Bei Xiao, I really didn't expect you to know so much about the situation of the four major families?"

Huo Beixiao sneered.

"Knowing ourselves and the enemy is invincible in a hundred battles. Only by knowing enough about our opponents can we not be afraid of their challenges."

As Gu Nanyin listened, she couldn't help falling into a new round of contemplation.

"But let Sun Shi deal with this matter that may be related to the Qian Group...I'm worried that he will shirk it because he cares about the relationship between the four major families."

Huo Beixiao touched his chin.

"Sun Shi is introverted and deep. It is difficult for ordinary people to see what is going on in his heart. But this time I have a hunch that he will help us."

Gu Nanyin smiled wryly.

"Is this your intuition from a man again?"

Huo Beixiao smiled leisurely.

"My intuition has been proven time and time again. You can't deny that."
