Chapter 329: Mo Li’s Retaliation

“Okay, now we need to do one thing.” Mo Li took out a small camera. “Take a good look at this. Find similar hidden cameras on the island!”

Hidden camera? Such things are placed on the island?

..

“Due to the recurring incidents, we have to stop the show.” Si Lin told Zhu Wen, hoping that she would stop the production.

“Impossible!” Zhu Wen was rarely anxious but now she was. “We have already finished shooting the first episode. We can’t stop the shoot now! What about the rest of the episodes?”

“But people have been injured and killed.”

“I also want to know what is going on with that? Aren’t the police supposed to be protecting us? How can this happen? Plus we have already handed in a request to the local government. There shouldn’t be any other fishing boats coming around to disturb the shoot during this period. Why haven’t you looked into that?”

Si Lin was still trying to persuade Zhu Wen when Mo Li picked up Xiao Rui’s walkie-talkie. “Attention. Now I need everyone to split into groups of five. Start from the northern and southern sides of the island and move towards the center. I need you to root out all the hidden cameras.”

“Mo Li, you’re investigating the signal transmission and searching for hidden cameras… Does that mean you have a lead on this case?”

Mo Li took a deep breath, she originally didn’t want to get entangled with Flower Appraisal but these people kept challenging her bottom line. “Do you remember when we investigated the case at 22 High School, and there was a death portrait of me and Xiao Rui? And how the school surveillance tapes have all been wiped and even Headmaster Shen’s iPad had mysteriously been hacked.”

Kang Zhi nodded. “I remember it was Si Lin who looked into the surveillance footage. The footage during the week of the incident had mysteriously gone missing. When we arrested Headmaster Shen, we confiscated her iPad. We handed it to our IT Team and they found the trojan virus on it. Everything valuable inside it had been corrupted and that trail turned cold.”

“Yes, now relate it to the fire from Jiang Zhi’s computer. At the time, there wasn’t supposed to be anyone on the yacht because the police were questioning everyone.” Mo Li explained, “Kang Zhi said that the fire started from the motherboard. The hacking technology today is good enough that one can remotely attack a weakened motherboard to make it spark and burn. Furthermore, let’s not forget about the question of the lights on Xiao Rui’s speedboat.”

Just as they were about to investigate it, Jiang Zhi’s computer caught fire; just as they were about to catch a suspect, the tragedy happened due to the lights on Xiao Rui’s boat. “There are no such coincidences. Someone is watching and hindering our investigation from the dark.”

“I get it now!” Kang Zhi’s brain was clear this one time. “Mo Li, you are suspecting that our phones and even the boss’ speedboat were hacked like Headmaster Shen’s iPad?”

“Yes, and that is the scary part. The culprit managed to do all these from a distance and without leaving behind a trace.” Mo Li then turned to the small camera she was holding. “With regards to this, as we’ve been told, this island is a nature preserve, and the only cameras allowed are the ones brought by the camera crew, but the fact that we’ve found other cameras on the island can only mean that…”

“They have been placed there on purpose. We can perhaps trace the person who did it from the cameras.” Kang Zhi said.

“Indeed!”

For the next half an hour, Mo Li’s walkie-talkie never stopped ringing.

“Report! We’ve found a hidden camera at the northeast landing point.”

“Report! There’s one in the West too!”

“Report, there’s one here too!”

“Report! We’ve found two near the power distribution box.”

“Miss Mo Li…” They were all impressed by Mo Li.

“So far, we’ve found 9 cameras. Their signals are automatically transmitted to the internet via wireless signals. The IT team is still working to find out more.”

Mo Li ordered. “Check the purchase records for these cameras with Pearl River’s online and retail stores. We need to catch the culprit!”

Kang Zhi drove the boat away from Xiao Rui’s accident spot. At that moment, Mo Li noticed something floating in the water.

…

On the subway, Kerria put on her headphones and studied the video on her phone with interest. The chatroom was booming.

“Fuck, how did he survive?”

“Tsk, how boring. How thick of a skull he has anyway?”

“Reminder: It has been nearly 24 hours since the incident.”

“What does that mean?”

“Are we supposed to stop our bet?”

“Wait, someone has changed their bets! That’s unfair!”

“There are no rules that state we can’t change our bets, right?”

“Eh. What’s wrong? What’s with the black screen?”

“The livestream has been cut off!”

“What? What about our money?!”
