Chapter 64: Surveillance

After saying that, York looked at the people following behind him, and looked at the silent Ezio.

"Mr. Ezio, I don't know the information of these tenants. Am I right in guessing?"

Ezio pursed his lips, glanced at Monica's rapid breathing, nodded, and said in a deep voice:

"You're right. What if this is a prank?"

"No." Yorks said calmly. He could see that Ezio wanted to stay out of it.

"Mr. Ezio, this is definitely not a prank. Pranks don't work like this. I know what you're thinking.
But aren’t you afraid that the person who carved the pattern will do something earth-shattering here?

If something happens to someone in your apartment, I think not only will the rent plummet, but no one will dare to live here.

I am sure he has done many shady things elsewhere, and your apartment is the point he chose after upgrading, and the person he chose is none other than your tenant, Ms. Monica."

York's half-threatening words made Ezio open his mouth, but he was completely unable to refute and could only sigh.

"Okay, Officer York, what can I do?"

York heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, he did not have the right to ask Ezio to cooperate directly. If Ezio did not cooperate, he would have no way to check the surveillance camera data.

As for whether this surveillance camera is just for decoration, let's wait and see.

"I need to check the video footage from the surveillance camera up there."

However, whatever you think in your mind will always happen. York saw Ezio glance at the surveillance camera above the stairs and laughed dryly with a bit of embarrassment.

"The surveillance cameras are actually empty shells and have long been damaged. I just hung them there as decorations."

Not to mention how York felt, Monica's face became quite ugly. She did not forget that when she rented this place, the landlord told her that these surveillance cameras were still running and he would also be watching them to ensure safety to a certain extent.

Yorks was a little speechless. Murphy's Law was true.

Although I have thought that the surveillance cameras in many places in the Free Country are just for decoration, I really didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. The surveillance cameras hanging on them look very new.

"Okay," York sighed and looked at Jino and Monica:
"It seems we can only think of other ways."

In a situation like this, either Monica would be asked to move somewhere else for safety, or a patrol search would be carried out to identify suspicious persons through the surveillance cameras on the streets outside.

After all, no one has ever seen the suspect's true face.

Of course, Yorks did not forget his guess. This guy must have done something earth-shattering somewhere else, but no one knew it yet.

In a word, he must be involved in this matter.

Perhaps because he felt the atmosphere was a bit depressing and he felt embarrassed, Ezio said:
"In fact, except for mine, other apartment buildings have surveillance cameras installed. Maybe they can be of some help to your investigation."

Then he said seriously: "We landlords all have some connections, I can go ask them!"

Yorks nodded: "Well, I'll trouble you, Mr. Ezio."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ezio looked at Monica, whose frown was slowly beginning to relax, and said awkwardly when he remembered his previous misunderstanding of her.

"This is what I should do."
-
After leaving their contacts, Ezio went to ask his neighbors for the video footage from the surveillance cameras and asked them to inquire about the tenants in their apartment building. Monica, on the other hand, moved to his side after talking to little Gusta.

Seeing the touching look on Monica's face when she got into the taxi, Yorks already knew that little Gusta was likely to marry the beauty tonight.

Thinking about how Monica looked about 70% done after she cleaned up, York decided to ask Little Gusta to send a few more croissants next time, and said to Kino who was waiting by the driver's door.

"Let's go. Let's walk around here first and see if there are any suspicious people or if the person who carved the pattern might have done something somewhere."

Jinuo nodded: "Okay!"

The two got into the car at the same time, and Jino picked up the intercom: "Calling the dispatch center, 10-A-11, resume patrol."

"Roger that!"

Hearing the reply, Kino started the car and subconsciously glanced at the calm York, curiously.

"Sir, have you ever learned anything special?"

York turned to look at Jino: "What do you mean?"

"It feels like you know everything." Jinuo said admiringly: "I didn't notice it when I went up there."

York turned his head and habitually looked out the window to recall the memories of last night. "As long as you make observation a habit and pay more attention to the details in life, you can also do this, because the crime scene or related environment often hides important information.
In the case of Ms. Monica, I just used the information I observed and the information provided by Ms. Monica herself to infer the connections and patterns between them through logical thinking. "

York paused and said, "This is actually not difficult."

Kino nodded and thought about it and it seemed to be true, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not as simple as York said.

Because if it were him, he would only focus on Ms. Monica herself. If Ms. Monica could not provide relevant evidence, he might really think that Ms. Monica was really sick.

"I'm really not cut out for that," he concluded.

York smiled and said, "So you still have to learn it. Otherwise, when you become a detective in the future, you will miss many important clues."

Gino shrugged: "By then, I would have probably quit."

"So what is your purpose in becoming a patrolman?" Yorks narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Kino whose expression changed.

"And he was specially arranged to be next to me."

"Ahem! Because being a policeman is my dream." Kino coughed a few times, realizing he had said something wrong. He shut up, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the right lane.

"Dream? Will you resign?" Yorks looked sarcastic.

Kino kept his mouth shut and said less to make fewer mistakes.

Seeing Jino like this, Yorks didn't bother to care: "I don't care why you became a patrolman. Anyway, your role during work is to obey orders. Otherwise, I will apply for a replacement and let you change to another instructor."

"Sir, I will definitely obey your orders! If you want me to go east, I will go east. If you want me to go west, I will go west!" Kino said loudly.

But York's next words made his face stiffen: "Very good, I will only give you a bad review for the first month. Now turn right and go to that apartment area."
