The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 666 - The Person Captured on the Surveillance Camera

Chapter 666: The Person Captured on the Surveillance Camera

Team Leader Liu nodded apologetically. This was a tricky case and if it wasn’t for the urgent order from the higher-ups at the police department, they wouldn’t be acting so quickly either.

“However, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t any clues. We’ve already obtained the surveillance camera footage from a certain street and we suspect that your ex-wife He Xiyan was captured on that particular camera.”

“Show it to me,” Ye Hao stood up anxiously when he heard that there was surveillance footage.

Team Leader Liu brought them to the investigation center, took out the footage and soon, the video started to play.

This was footage from the surveillance cameras along the street and according to the time stamp, it was taken at 9:35 PM on the 16th of March.

At the 15th second of the 35th minute, a woman appeared on the street and she was pulling her luggage down the road. It was none other than He Xiyan.

Her face couldn’t be clearly seen in the camera but Ye Hao could tell from her clothes and her figure that she was definitely his ex-wife. As he stared at the woman in the video, his eyes suddenly p.r.i.c.ked with tears as though a speck of sand had flown in while his heart throbbed in pain. He felt like he was about to vomit blood with each painful throb of his heart.

He watched as she stood helplessly along the road and looked like she couldn’t decide whether or not to cross the road. She ultimately decided not to cross and loitered along the roadside for a while before she sat on the stairs next to the road and stared blankly into s.p.a.ce. She didn’t move at all and sat as still as a statue.

“Yan Yan…” Ye Hao suddenly muttered softly.

Shu Man gripped her hands tightly and her palms were filled with cold sweat as she stared at the screen and carefully watched her sister’s every move.

However, the recording from the cameras only showed the cars zooming across the road while that woman continued to sit in a daze.

Team Leader Liu pointed at the screen and said, “Mr. Ye, your ex-wife sat by the roadside for two hours on the night of the 16th of March and only rose to leave at 11:41 PM.”

Team Leader Liu hit the fast-forward b.u.t.ton and only stopped when the timestamp showed 11:41 PM. As he mentioned earlier, He Xiyan finally rose to her feet but she didn’t cross the road but instead, she dragged her luggage down a small alley in the south-west direction.

There were only limits to how much the surveillance cameras could capture and soon, she disappeared from view and could not be found again.

“Is that it? What about the cameras installed along that alley?” Ye Hao said as he slammed his palm against the desk. His bloodshot eyes showed that he was truly very upset and worried.

He rarely cried but now, his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears and his long eyelashes were already stuck to his eyelids because of his tears.

“This two-way street would lead to a small town in the suburbs. The nearest surveillance camera is located three kilometers away. We’ve already looked through the footage but saw no sign of your ex-wife,” Team Leader Liu said with a sigh.

He had many years of experience under his belt and had handled countless cases, including missing person cases. He thought that there was something obviously odd about this case and even could guess what had happened to Ye Hao’s ex-wife.

Then, a young policeman rushed over.

“Sir, we’ve got a new lead,” the policeman had immediately entered when he saw that the door to Team Leader Liu’s office wasn’t close.

“Go on,” Team Leader Liu said with a nod.

The policeman quickly made his report, “We’ve checked her mobile phone positioning data and her phone was turned off at 3:12 AM on the 18th of March and the latest date we’ve managed to capture before her phone was switched off showed that she was near the intersection of highway 1065 and Hailin Road at Haichuan County, Yuenan Province. This was the final positioning data before the signal was turned off.”
