Chapter 371: Chapter 372 Major Discovery!

When Meng Yao suddenly came out wanting to challenge him, Qin Tian could only respond with a ”heh.”

At the time when he heard Meng Yao asking Meng Changming to get involved, Qin Tian wanted to retort, ”Women with bigger chests have smaller brains.”

However, considering that Meng Yao’s father, Meng Changming, was present and such a comment would be blatantly flirtatious, he feared Meng Changming might get unintentionally hurt, so he held back and didn’t say it.

Later, during the meal, Qin Tian saw Meng Yao constantly making calls and arranging things with her special action team, making it clear to him that she was determined to compete with him in solving the case.

”Number two, number three, we need to handle this task more neatly, or else the police might try to take our credit. This is Dragon Soul’s first gig in Zhonghai City, let’s not ruin our reputation.”

On the way back to Wolong Mountain, Qin Tian chatted with Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang in the WeChat group.

”Boss, you took on this assignment quite suddenly, but no worries, handling things neatly and efficiently is Dragon Soul’s tradition. You come back first, then we’ll discuss the detailed plan of action,” Lin Yu texted in WeChat.

Qin Tian returned to Wolong Mountain, where Zhou Yang, Wild Boar, and others were already waiting in the conference room.

Qin Tian informed everyone about the specifics of the mission, and Xiao Zhuang, on his way there, had prepared the related materials for the major bank robbery in Jinshan District.

Using hacking techniques, Xiao Zhuang managed to obtain the surveillance footage extracted from the bank by the police in less than half an hour.

”Xiao Zhuang, your skills are getting more high-end, huh?” Qin Tian couldn’t help but give Xiao Zhuang a thumbs up after seeing the video surveillance.

Xiao Zhuang chuckled, ”I can crack the high-end firewalls of the United States in minutes, domestic technology is relatively backward. How could it stump me, the leading big brother of the hacking world?”

As Xiao Zhuang played the surveillance video, he said this with a grin.

In the conference room of Dragon Soul Base, everyone felt quite relaxed, not sensing the mission as any Herculean task.

An electronic screen was in the middle of the conference room, smoothly playing the footage Xiao Zhuang obtained of the bank heist within the bank and the street outside, captured that day.

After setting up the equipment, Xiao Zhuang sped up the footage to the afternoon, when the armored truck arrived to transport the money from the bank.

At that time, nothing abnormal was visible on the bank’s internal surveillance since it was after working hours; besides the bank’s staff, there were no outsiders.

However, the surveillance at the bank’s entrance looked more complicated. The armored truck was parked at the entrance, two security personnel were on guard with guns, one security guard was handling the handover with a bank staff, while another sat in the driver’s seat.

The footage seemed calm and uneventful, but when Qin Tian and the others watched the entire video for the second time, Qin Tian quickly discovered its secret!

”Did you see, the man across the street from the armored truck, pretending to make a phone call? But did you see, his eyes kept watching the armored truck here, it looks like he’s reporting the situation to his accomplices,” Qin Tian pointed out a man sitting on a bench in the park on the square, hardly noticed by anyone in the top right corner of the surveillance screen.

Wild Boar was startled; he did not understand why Qin Tian suddenly pointed out a seemingly problem-free man among so many coming and going and lingering at the bank entrance where the armored vehicle was parked.

”Boss, that person...is he a robber?” Wild Boar asked, puzzled.

At this moment, Zhou Yang remembered a footage he had seen before and said, ”Very likely. Look, when the armored vehicle is about to drive away, the man stands up and moves a bit closer to this side. He seems to be getting a closer view to check the specific situation.”

As Zhou Yang suggested, Xiao Zhuang continued to fast forward the surveillance video, and sure enough, a few minutes later in the video, a man in a white T-shirt, denim jeans, and black Nike sneakers, pretending to be on the phone, walked back and forth next to the armored vehicle.

As the man passed by the armored vehicle, his gaze was clearly observing it carefully.

”Hiss, if this man is a robber, then what is he doing here? Look, he walked so close, but he did nothing,” someone remarked.

Lin Yu began to wonder, ”Plus, this man seems to know that there are surveillance cameras nearby, so after walking back and forth, he disappeared. Since the place is a square with many people walking back and forth, he wouldn’t draw any attention. So, was his only purpose here to check the detailed situation of the armored vehicle? If we speculate like this, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that this man is a robber.”

Lin Yu’s analysis made Xiao Zhuang and the others nod in agreement. Indeed, just because he paced around and frequently glanced at the armored vehicle, does it mean he’s a robber? There were many people curiously watching the armored vehicle as well!

Qin Tian fell into deep thought, feeling strongly that this man was the robber; it was an intense intuition.

But Qin Tian couldn’t just investigate this man based solely on intuition. Investigating one person would take a lot of time. If there were no clear clues and they investigated this man, it would be a huge waste of time.

For a moment, everyone was silent, continuing to watch the surveillance video.

In the meeting room of the Jinshan District police station’s Special Operations Team, under Meng Yao’s leadership, the four-person team including Meng Yao was earnestly watching the surveillance footage they had obtained from the police.

Of course, Meng Yao and her team were mainly focused on the portion where the robber made a move on the armored vehicle. As for the suspicious man analyzed by Qin Tian’s group earlier, Meng Yao had her subordinate skip past that part.

”Everyone, watch carefully to see if there’s anything suspicious in this segment. Take notes, and we’ll discuss them together shortly,” she instructed.

Meng Yao confidently told her team, inwardly thinking of Qin Tian’s group also working on this case and could not help but sneer.

”Still trying to solve the case, huh? You can’t even get the surveillance footage; I’d like to see how you manage!”

Today, when Meng Yao went to the police station to request surveillance data, she deliberately asked if anyone else had requested it. The answer was no, and the bank’s data was confidential and not to be disclosed.

Thus, Meng Yao was certain that Qin Tian and his team had not seen the surveillance footage from the scene of the incident. This put her a step ahead of Qin Tian in starting the investigation of this case.

”With the unique resources available to the police for solving cases, I’d like to see how you compare to me,” Meng Yao thought more cheerfully.

”Pause! Xiao Zhuang, hit pause!”

Just as Meng Yao was filled with confidence, in the Wolong Mountain meeting room, right after Qin Tian had watched the footage of the robber making a move on the armored vehicle for the third time, he suddenly cried out excitedly!
