Upon hearing this, Cao Sheng was also startled and unconsciously frowned slightly.

Although he was a traffic police officer, his instincts as a policeman told him that Lin Mo’s behavior didn’t quite resemble that of a typical victim’s relative.

After pausing for a few seconds, he tentatively said, “It wasn’t due to vandalism, but rather a circuit malfunction, Mr. Lin… Have you offended anyone recently?”

“Ah? No, that’s not what I’m thinking. 1 just simply want to see the video from

that time.”

Lin Mo didn’t reveal his true intentions.

To avoid startling the snake in the grass.

What he needed to do was to disguise himself as a regular relative of a victim.

“Such videos… I think it’s better for you to watch less of them, the incident has already happened, and watching those videos now is meaningless,” Cao Sheng suddenly remembered something, opened the drawer of the desk beside him, and took out a ziplock bag containing a memory card and four mobile phones, one of which was severely damaged. Lin Mo recognized it at a glance as his

father’s phone.

“This is from the dashboard camera of the business car. We have already copied the content. You can have a look at the copy we made later. After confirming that there is no problem, sign on the evidence form, and then you can take it

with you.”

“Also, these are your family members’ mobile phones. After signing, you can

take them as well.”

For investigative purposes, the traffic management department can obtain the records of vehicle black boxes, satellite positioning devices, surveillance equipment, and other evidence related to the accident from relevant units and individuals.

And according to property law regulations, after copying relevant video evidence, the original must be returned to the party involved. If there is any damage, they must compensate at the current value.

“Thank you.”

Lin Mo nodded, took the ziplock bag, and if Officer Cao hadn’t mentioned it, he would have asked for these items back himself, since this was also part of his plan. Of course, since Officer Cao brought it up, it saved him some trouble. After signing a few documents, Lin Mo left the traffic police brigade, hailed a taxi, and first rushed to the impound lot where the detained car was parked.

The parking lot was guarded by a gatekeeper, and without a permit from the traffic police, one couldn’t enter.

But such a matter was all too easy to handle. Lin Mo directly gave the gatekeeper two hundred yuan, and he was let through right away, only being warned not to tamper with anything.

He found the train that had been burned.

And the business car driven by Zhang Li.

Lin Mo took dozens of photos from various angles, both in front and behind, before leaving.

Next, Lin Mo took a taxi to the scene of the car accident.

The rain had been heavy yesterday, and almost no trace was visible on the

road.

Lin Mo was no trace expert. He only came to the scene to stay for a while,

hoping to acquire related intelligence tomorrow.

After squatting at the scene for a full two hours, Lin Mo finally left, then he bought a card reader, took the memory card from the traffic police, and entered a nearby internet cafe.

He found a private booth.

Lin Mo inserted the card reader and began to watch the video.

(Hey, son, we’re almost there, almost there. Tell your in-laws not to worry, we’re on our way and will be there soon!]

| Don’t rush, it’s not like we’re hurrying you. My father-in-law asked me to tell you, take it slow, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time! What about mom?

Did she take the motion sickness medicine so she doesn’t feel bad later?]

[Taken, taken, rest assured! Little Li drives very steadily, even steadier than you. I don’t get motion sickness much today.]

[I don’t feel sick at all when I ride in his car.]

[Mom, 1 think you’re not sick from the motion, it’s the person you’re sick of, isn’t it? It’s fine when someone else drives?]

[This child, always talking nonsense!]

[Son, don’t be dissatisfied.]

[Little Li used to be an automotive soldier in the army, he really does drive steadily. Anyway, it’s steadier than any other car I’ve been in! ]

[Okay, then you elders should hurry up and discuss it with your precious daughter. Such a good driver shouldn’t be missed! ]

Inside the booth of the internet cafe.

The dashboard camera was aimed at the front of the vehicle. Due to the angle, Lin Mo couldn’t see his family members seated inside, he could only hear the sounds that were recorded.

But even the sounds quickly brought tears to Lin Mo’s eyes.

Back then, his parents and he had laughed so happily, looking forward to the whole family reuniting for a joyous meal together and living under the same roof for a better life in the future.

But a car accident had pressed the pause button on all those happy moments.

With the video continuing to play forward, Lin Mo’s heart clenched as well, desperately suppressing the growing excitement in his emotions, waiting for the imminent tragic accident.

The feeling of waiting was not pleasant; it was like reinserting a splinter that had been pulled out of one’s body back into the flesh. Even though he knew the outcome, Lin Mo still wanted to yell at the video, urging his family to get out of the car, to leave at once!

But to find out more information, he had to watch on, no matter how hard it was.

Beep… Beep beep…

Less than io minutes after his parents hung up the phone, the screen suddenly went blank, followed by the urgent sound of brakes screeching and a horn blaring for a long time.

The next second, a huge collision noise sounded, the video screen shook violently, turned upside down, and then the screen went completely black.

The playback stopped abruptly.

Lin Mo gritted his teeth, staring intensely at the computer screen for a long time without snapping out of it.

“Hiss…”

“Sigh ”

Lin Mo lit the cigarette he had bought from the internet cafe manager and took

a deep drag.

“Cough… Cough cough…”

The intense nicotine stimulated his mouth and lungs, causing him to cough uncontrollably, and his eyes turned red.

It was uncomfortable. Although it was his body that ached, it somewhat soothed his heart.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, replaying the scenes from the video in his mind, but found nothing.

Everything seemed normal, just a common rear-end collision.

Lin Mo rewound the video to the very beginning and began to watch at 3x speed.

Everything was normal throughout the journey, even up to the collision, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Watch again!

The third time, the fourth time.

The tenth time!

For several hours, Lin Mo forced himself to watch the entire driving process over and over again.

Zhang Li drove very steadily, and throughout the whole process, he didn’t curse at anyone or show any impatience. Even when Lin Siyu urged him on, the speed of the car didn’t increase significantly.

This could be seen from the vehicle information at the bottom of the video.

“1 didn’t see anything suspicious, but why did Zhang Li say that someone intentionally wanted to hit them?”

Lin Mo rubbed his sore eyes, closed them to rest for a while, lit a cigarette, and then played the video again.

Gradually, he could remember the traffic lights at each intersection, as well as every word spoken by family members in the car.

Similarly, Lin Mo was also paying close attention to the information outside the car, especially the trucks that appeared in the footage, which he then compared with the license plates of the accident vehicles taken by his cell phone.

From start to finish, there wasn’t a single match, indicating the truck hadn’t been following Zhang Li all along.

After another viewing, there were still no clues.

But Lin Mo was not disappointed.

He wasn’t a professional detective, so naturally, he couldn’t easily find clues.

The reason he watched the driving records over and over was actually to trigger the Intelligence System for the next day!

“Could there be any clues in the cell phones?”

With his eyes aching slightly, Lin Mo decided to take a break and continue watching the video later. He took out four blood-stained cell phones from his backpack, wiped the screens, and unlocked the one belonging to his parents with the passcode.

He didn’t know the passcodes for Lin Siyu and Zhang Li’s phones, but that wasn’t a problem.

Both phones had fingerprint and facial recognition unlocking, which he could check at the hospital later.

Right now, Lin Mo’s priority was to find out whether there were any messages about going to Lvkai Group to collect the construction funds on his dad’s phone.

His dad’s cellphone was severely damaged, its screen was cracked, and the body was shattered, but fortunately, it still worked.

After unlocking the screen and carefully checking it, Lin Mo found that his dad’s phone was clean, without any useful information.

Suddenly, Lin Mo realized that he had overlooked an issue.

The Lvkai Group didn’t just owe his dad money; maybe his colleagues were present when the debt was collected.

Lin Mo opened the contact list, found a contact saved as ‘Mao Dan,’ and then dialed through.

Village people usually go by nicknames, and over time, hardly anyone remembers their full names.

Mao Dan was also from Lin Mo’s village, and according to seniority, Lin Mo should address him as ‘uncle.’

He called him because Mao Dan had the best relationship with his dad, often eating and drinking together.

The first call went unanswered.

He dialed again, and the second attempt was still unanswered.

What’s going on?

Just as Lin Mo was about to make a third call, he saw that Mao Dan was calling back.

“Hello, Uncle Mao Dan.”

Huh?

There was a moment of confusion on the other end of the line before a voice said, “Is that Lin Mo? What’s up, what do you need from your uncle?”

The car accident happened in North City District, and aside from family, outsiders didn’t know about it.

Lin Mo didn’t ask directly but instead said obliquely, “Uncle, my dad asked me to remind you not to spend the money you’ve received recklessly. Save it for returning home during the New Year. Maybe you can even find a wife with it.” Mao Dan on the phone replied, “You kid, always joking about your uncle. Your dad’s enjoying life at your place, isn’t he? Just let him stay a few more days. Collecting the money this time was tough, and it wore him out!”

Hearing the other party bring up the matter of collecting money, Lin Mo perked up and inquired, “Uncle, tell me about it. How did you manage to get the money? Dad was so incoherent about it, mentioning seeing the chairman and leader inspections. It all sounded a bit scary. 1 think he must be bluffing, right?”

“How could that be a bluff? Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy getting that money this time…” Mao Dan began recounting the story vividly.

Lin Mo listened very attentively and even pressed the record button.

But unfortunately, even after Mao Dan had finished, there was nothing that caught Lin Mo’s attention.

When they went to collect the money, they indeed encountered leaders inspecting the site, but only Lin Changshui was invited upstairs for a chat. Mao Dan was too nervous and took the chance to slip away as soon as he could.

“Phew…”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo watched the driving recorder a few more times. Noticing it was getting late, he left the internet cafe.

Outside, the sky had darkened, and the street lamps were already on.

Lin Mo lit a cigarette, placed it between his lips, and returned to the scene of the incident, walking over and over. At the same time, an open lecture by Chen Kainan of Lvkai Group played through the earphones hanging on his ear.

He had done pretty much everything he could think of for the entire day. Unfortunately, he still hadn’t discovered any useful information.

So next… it was time to rely on the Intelligence System.

Lin Mo was eager to learn the truth as soon as possible.

But he knew he couldn’t rush it, and that haste wouldn’t help.

Neither did he put all his hopes on tomorrow’s Intelligence System.

He was aware of the randomness of the Intelligence System; it might not generate the information he wanted the next day.

However…

The method to deal with this mechanism was also very simple.

If once is not enough, then twice, if twice is not enough, then thrice, if thrice is not enough, then… three thousand times!

Whenever he thought of his parents in the 1UC ward, still in life-threatening condition; whenever he thought of his younger sister who, even if she woke up, would suffer from severe aftereffects; whenever he thought of his wife and daughter who might be in danger, Lin Mo’s heart grew unprecedentedly determined.

All this, had best just be an ordinary car accident…

If it wasn’t…

Then, even if it meant betting the rest of his life…

Lin Mo would make the culprit… regret ever coming into this world!

[Chapter 8, 20,000 words, another day going all out, barely left the chair at all… Thick-skinned as 1 am, I’m once again asking my brothers for a round of monthly tickets, recommendation votes, as we’re in the middle of a race.. They’re really important, your few seconds of voting are a tremendous motivation for my daily grind of writing!!]
