Chapter 677: 222: Sylvia Thompson never expected this! _4
Hearing Samuel’s words, Viola was surprised and took her phone out of her pocket.
How could her phone be turned off?
When she took it out and looked at it, Viola realized that her phone indeed was turned off!
Viola’s face was full of apologies, “Mom, Dad, Grandma, my two older brothers, I didn’t know my phone had run out of battery. I’m sorry for making you worry unnecessarily.”
Mrs. Thompson smiled and said, “As long as you are alright.”
Mary’s eyes were somewhat red, and she walked up to Viola, holding her hand, “Viola, has nobody bullied you out there?”
She was truly worried about Viola.
Not exaggerating at all.
Because, she had once experienced losing her daughter before.
She was more afraid of separation than anyone else.
“No,” Viola softly hugged Mary, “Mom, you don’t need to worry.”
Seeing her daughter, whom she was embracing, Mary finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t just Mary.
Even Sawyer had been frightened.
But men’s ways of expressing emotions are always more reserved than women’s, so there wasn’t anything unusual visible on Sawyer’s face.
A moment later, he continued, “It’s good that Viola is back. Are you hungry? I’ll have the kitchen prepare some food. What do you want to eat, Viola?”
“Just a bowl of noodles is fine,” said Viola.
She was easily satisfied, and besides Milk Tea, she didn’t have any particular demands for food as long as she it filled her stomach.
“Alright.” Sawyer nodded, instructing the kitchen to cook noodles and not to forget to make a cup of Milk Tea while they were at it, “Add more taro balls.”
A father’s love is silent, and it shows in the details.
Viola’s eyes curved in happiness, feeling fortunate that there were so many people caring about her.
After eating and going upstairs,
Viola first took a shower, changed into her sleepwear, and after coming out of the bathroom, she didn’t go to sleep immediately. Instead, she turned on her computer, hacked into the street surveillance system, and searched the necessary route from Maureen’s home to the Imperial Court Apartments according to the time.
Although the time was clear and couldn’t be longer than half an hour, the range involved was too broad, the number of people passing through too large, making it not so convenient to search. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Viola first sped up, scanning the images roughly.
The surveillance footage appeared as a 3D movie in front of her eyes, and she squinted slightly – with the same results as the police investigation.
She didn’t see Sylvia’s figure.
It was strange.
She had investigated the layout of Maureen’s residential area.
Although there were blind spots in the surveillance,
no matter how Sylvia avoided the blind spots, there should have been a scene of her leaving the residential area’s main gate.
Unless…
She had climbed over the wall,
but that was clearly impossible.
Because the security system of the residential area where Maureen lived was very high, with guards patrolling 24 hours a day and surveillance cameras installed on the walls. If Sylvia had climbed over the wall, she would have been spotted by the security room guards immediately.
So…
This possibility could be basically ruled out!
At that moment, Viola suddenly thought of the two strands of false hair.
Although the results of the examination hadn’t come out yet, Viola’s intuition told her it was false hair.
If the corpse could speak…
Why did James try so hard to leave a strand of false hair in his fingernail gaps?
Why was there also false hair on Sylvia’s wash basin at home?
Unless…
Sylvia had changed her appearance.
Suppose Sylvia had put on a wig and a mask and changed into men’s clothes, then there wouldn’t be anyone similar to Sylvia in the surveillance footage.
With this lead, Viola immediately re-watched the surveillance.
She started with the entrance surveillance of the residential area.
According to the time estimation, Sylvia would appear at the gate between 6:40 and 6:45.
Viola adjusted the time to 6:40, slowed down the speed, and watched carefully.
This time was during rush hour, with a lot of people coming and going.
Viola wasn’t in a hurry.
Watching slowly,
at that moment, she suddenly saw a different figure among the crowd.
Among a crowd of people wearing short sleeves.
This person was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, short hair, a black mask, and was looking down, making it difficult to see their face clearly.
The shoes on their feet seemed to not fit very well.
Because Viola noticed that when they stepped down, they almost fell down because the shoes were too long. Luckily, there was a pillar in front of them.
They grabbed the pillar just in time, preventing a fall.
Viola pressed the pause button.
Noticed…
That person’s hands were even wearing gloves.
Summer was already hot enough.
Who would wear gloves in this season if they weren’t engaged in a particular profession?
Viola recorded this segment of the video separately.
Then, she adjusted the time to 9:10 and started watching the crowd entering the residential area.
