Tong Yu put down his coffee and said quizzically, "That's weird. If someone tampered with the car two months ago, then the accident should have happened a long time ago."
Although it was strange that the car had lost track of a particular day, the main problem was the brake malfunction. How could the brake malfunction only happen two months later? That obviously didn't make sense.
"Maybe it's because your artist doesn't drive very well." The detective paused before he continued. "We came up with a theory. When the culprit tampered with the brake, he did not completely destroy the brake pads. Instead, he calculated the number of times he could use the brake pads."
Tong Yu scratched his head and listened to the detective.
"It was a premeditated murder. I think the culprit must have known your artist's habits very well, so he must have been very skilled in tampering with the brake pads. He even calculated the degree of wear and tear on the brake pads. I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to discover it without a professional."
As the detective spoke, he took out his phone and showed Tong Yu the WeChat records of him consulting a professional on the brake pads.
Tong Yu only understood half of it. After all, he was not a car expert. He quickly returned the phone to the detective. "Have you found anything about the accident two months ago?"
The detective shook his head. "I haven't found anything yet based on the car's clues. I was afraid that you would be anxious, so I told you about it first."
Tong Yu sighed. "I am anxious too. If I don't find the culprit, my artist's safety will be in jeopardy."
"How is your artist now? Is he out of danger? "asked the detective.
Tong Yu wanted to keep this a secret from everyone, so he shook his head and said, "He's still unconscious."
"Alright. If he wakes up, ask him if he lent his car to anyone two months ago and see if he can provide any information," said the detective.
"Okay. Keep investigating. I'll let you know as soon as I find anything."
“OK。”
The two of them did not chat for long before they parted ways and left the cafe.
Tong Yu pondered over the detective's words before he drove to the hospital.
30 minutes later, in the hospital ward.
Tong Yu told Huo Xiang what his detective friend had told him.
Huo Yao hadn't been to school for the past two days. Song Ning and Huo Jinyan were frightened by the car accident. Although Huo Yao wasn't injured, they insisted on keeping their daughter in the hospital for a few more days to ensure that she was fine.
Huo Yao tilted her head to look at Tong Yu. "Are you saying that the dashcam can't be recovered?"
Tong Yu said as he peeled some fruits for the siblings. "Yeah. My friend was being modest. The programmer in the institute is also a computer expert. If he says it can't be restored, then it's probably true."
Huo Yao leaned against the chair lazily with her phone in her hand. She said, "Did you ask your friend to send me the dashcam footage?"
Tong Yu had already peeled an apple. He handed it to her. "Yao, why do you want this?"
Huo Yao took a bite and said solemnly, "I might be able to help you restore your record."
Tong Yu glanced at her quietly before he picked up an apple and continued peeling it. He turned to Huo Xiang and said, "Huo Xiang, why don't you think about where your car was on October 13th?"
