Chapter 540

At the sushi restaurant, Cherry Blossom.

“Sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to give you the surveillance footage but it’s just that our security cameras have

been down for some time so there’s no footage to speak of,” explained the lady owner fearfully when Lucas and

the others told her their reason for coming back to

the restaurant.

Lucas calmly looked over the security cameras located at the payment counter and the main dining hall. It was

exactly as Jeremy said, the security cameras were fine since the on buttons. were all flashing green.

“We know your surveillance system isn’t working so we’ve brought a professional to fix it. We would, of course,

require your cooperation in this matter,” said Lucas.

The lady owner did not know who they were but could tell from their clothes and demeanor that they were people

she could not afford to cross. Then there was, of course, the matter of an incident happening in the restaurant so

she did not dare to refuse.

“Yes, of course. The restaurant will cooperate with the investigation.”

Lucas summoned the best software engineer in his company and gestured with his chin for him to fix the

surveillance system. The software engineer immediately got to work. He asked permission from the lady owner to

go behind the payment counter and then used the computer there to check why the surveillance system was not

working.

The lady owner stood watching from the side while she kept on blabbering about the time she found the

surveillance system broken, how she asked someone to fix it, but then it broke down again, etc.

The software engineer was very good at his job. He quickly found the problem. There was a bug in the code which

made the system close itself down as soon as it started up. Within ten minutes, he managed to solve the problem.

“All done, Mister Lucas,” he said after completing the task.

The lady owner was shocked. “Wow! You’ve fixed it and so fast too! You’re amazing!”

“Now find the footage that shows the four of them dining in the private room,” Lucas ordered.

“Yes, Mister Lucas,” responded the software engineer. He then turned around and asked the lady owner, “What’s

the name of the private room and the time they were dining inside?”

“Bamboo Forest! The four of them were dining in Bamboo Forest at around half past twelve noontimes,” replied the

lady owner honestly.

The software engineer nodded and started toggling the time of the surveillance footage. However, he soon ran into

another problem. Frowning, he said. “Mister Lucas, I can’t find the

surveillance footage. All the security cameras except the one in Bamboo Forest are working fine. It says here that

the security camera in that room has no memory card.”

Lucas’ face darkened. He cast a suspicious eye over the lady owner. “How do you explain this?”

The lady owner was just as bewildered as he was. She quickly shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. The

memory card should be in there. No one has touched those cameras since the surveillance system broke down.

The cameras are too high for the employees to reach so even

the cleaners don’t clean there.”

Lucas looked at the lady owner to see if she was lying and after confirming she was not, then ordered the software

engineer to check the camera in Bamboo Forest.

In less than a minute, the software engine came back and said regretfully, “Mister Lucas, there was no memory

card in the camera in Bamboo Forest. Someone must have taken it away.”
