The surveillance room of the Demonic Crystal Spaceship was about 100 square meters and most of it was occupied by a semi-circular workbench.
On the workbench, apart from a few buttons, there were hundreds of Projection Crystals which were connected to the surveillance cameras.
As soon as they entered the surveillance room, Chen Wei waved at Lin Huang and said, "Come and take a look at this."
It was a video projection that was in a frozen state. The frozen image was of an empty corridor.
Lin Huang walked towards it and Chen Wei pressed the play button.
The video started playing and Lin Huang recognized that it was the corridor on the seventh floor of the spaceship. Although it looked similar to the other floors, the murals on the walls of the corridors on each floor were different. Lin Huang recognized that the murals were from the seventh floor.
Approximately half a minute into the video, Lin Xin's door opened all of a sudden. She pushed the door open and walked towards the direction of the elevator, disappearing from the surveillance camera's range.
"This is the video of your sister walking out of her room at 5: 03 pm," Chen Wei said and brought Lin Huang to the second paused video.
The video froze at the moment when Lin Xin walked into the elevator.
After pressing the play button, Lin Xin could be seen pressing the first floor button. She only stayed in the elevator for about 10 seconds and nobody came in during that time.
"This is the video of her in the elevator. When she walked out of the elevator, it was 5: 04 pm," Chen Wei said. "We found out that she went to the first floor and we pulled up the surveillance cameras on the first floor. We found her in a few different surveillance cameras."
"According to the time she appeared on the first floor, the first one is the surveillance camera at the entrance of the elevator."
Chen Wei played another video. In the video, Lin Xin was walking out of the elevator.
There were a few people waiting at the entrance of the elevator. A middle-aged man in a white shirt glanced at Lin Xin when she walked out of the elevator but he quickly walked into the elevator.
Lin Huang frowned. He did not plan to let go of anyone suspicious since he had no clue. He asked Chen Wei, "Which floor and room does the man in the white shirt stay in?"
"He's on the ninth floor. According to the information we have, it shouldn't be related to him." Chen Wei did not tell him the exact room number.
Lin Huang felt that he was overthinking so he did not ask for the room number. "Where's the next video?"
"The second video on the first floor was taken at the entrance of the bar." Chen Wei played another video.
In the video, Lin Xin stood at the entrance of the bar and hesitated for a while. Eventually, she walked into the bar but soon, she walked out again.
"It seems like the bar owner didn't lie. She came out in less than a minute," one of the security guards who went to the bar with Lin Huang said.
"Where did she go after leaving the bar?" Lin Huang asked immediately.
"We saw her walking around the lobby on the first floor. She bought some snacks and walked around while eating. At around 5: 40 pm, she suddenly walked into a blind spot of our surveillance camera and disappeared. "Chen Wei said and played the last video.
The last video was taken at a partition between two shops. The camera could not see the area under the surveillance camera.
In the video, when Lin Xin passed by the partition, she happened to have a trash bag filled with snacks in her hand. She took the trash bag and walked towards the camera.
However, ever since she disappeared from the camera's blind spot, she never appeared again.
Lin Huang stared at the video for a few minutes but Lin Xin did not come out.
But along the way, a few people passed by and brought their trash over, then left empty-handed.
"This blind spot is where a trash can was placed. We didn't think anyone would steal the trash so we didn't install another surveillance camera at another angle. It was our mistake …" Chen Wei explained helplessly.
"Wait, there's a little girl looking at this direction from time to time. Did she see something?" Lin Huang pointed at a spot in the video that was diagonally facing the surveillance camera. There was a little girl who was about the same age as Lin Xin sitting on the bench. She had her hair in two ponytails and was sipping her drink while looking at the video from time to time.
Lin Huang let the video continue. Ten minutes later, the girl finished her drink and walked over with an empty glass. She then turned around and left.
"She probably saw the trash can here and wanted to throw the glass away after finishing her drink." Chen Wei felt that Lin Huang was too paranoid.
"Bring me to the scene of the video." Lin Huang said and continued, "Also, help me find the girl in the video. I have something to ask her. I don't care if she saw anything, I can't let go of any clues. "
"Alright, we'll help you since we don't have any more clues." Chen Wei agreed helplessly.
A few minutes later, two security guards brought Lin Huang to the scene where Lin Xin went missing.
Not only did he activate Blood Hunt this time, he also enhanced his sense of smell to the maximum. He also activated Boundless Vision and his eyes turned into an eagle's amber color.
The air in the bar had been purified, so the smell on her body was much fainter. However, he could still smell her lingering scent when he arrived at the bar.
At the blind spot under the surveillance camera, there were two green trash cans that were half the height of a human and were completely filled.
Lin Xin's scent suddenly disappeared beside the trash cans. It was not like the scent that Lin Huang sensed in the bar that had lightened due to the air purification. Instead, it disappeared completely.
Lin Huang frowned as he observed his surroundings. He activated his vision to its maximum, but he could not find any traces at all.
Just when he was frowning and wondering if he had missed something, a fat lady walked over with a bag of trash.
She seemed to be a merchant nearby. Seeing the two trash cans, she shouted at the two security guards, "Didn't you add one trash can here today? Why are there two now? Look, the trash is piled up. Will the passengers feel comfortable seeing this? "
"Lady, we're just security guards. There's no point in looking for us …" One of them explained bitterly.
"Then tell me, who should I look for?" The fat lady was hot-tempered and unreasonable.
Lin Huang immediately turned around and asked, "Lady, when did you see three trash cans here?"
"Around 5: 40 pm. I just finished my takeout and came here to throw the takeout boxes. It's only been half an hour and now it's gone. That's weird. Could it be that someone steals the trash cans?! "The time that the fat lady mentioned coincided with the time that Lin Xin disappeared.
"Lady, did you see a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl passing by?" Lin Huang asked immediately.
"I see so many little girls every day. Why would I remember something like that?" The fat lady rolled her eyes and was about to leave after throwing the trash away. However, she suddenly turned around and said, "You're talking about little girls … I remember now. There was a little girl with two ponytails sitting over there in the afternoon, drinking a drink."
The direction that the fat lady was pointing at happened to be the bench that Lin Huang and the rest had seen from the video.
