Chapter 167: Clues
Thinking of this, the security guard could not help glancing at Rong Xingyu a few more times as he said, "Luckily you’re checking footage from this day. If you’d gone back one more day earlier, there would’ve been nothing at all."
Rong Xingyu: "..."
An indescribable expression also appeared on Ye Shiyuan’s face. "I don’t even know whether to say you’re lucky or unlucky."
Rong Xingyu said, "Indeed."
If he was unlucky, then the camera had just happened to be fixed the day before.
But if he was lucky, then he would not have been sabotaged behind his back like this in the first place!
"There should’ve been a notice about the surveillance," the security guard scratched his head. "Didn’t you guys see it? Why did you still use that lab?"
Rong Xingyu smiled at the security guard, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
The laboratory had been reserved by Pan Yinhu. Could it be that Pan Yinhu knew that the surveillance camera in that laboratory had been broken?
Thinking of Pan Yinhu’s gentle smile, Rong Xingyu’s heart could not help sinking a little.
Perhaps Pan Yinhu was not aware of it either.
After copying the surveillance footage, Rong Xingyu thanked the security guard.
The security guard waved his hand dismissively. "No need to be polite. Isn’t it all for catching this thief as soon as possible?"
He had been standing by watching Rong Xingyu review the footage and had thought that Rong Xingyu had lost something.
Rong Xingyu paused for a moment, then also smiled as he said, "That’s right. We’ll catch him."
He and Ye Shiyuan walked outside together.
"That person just now..." Ye Shiyuan rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
Rong Xingyu glanced at him and asked, "Look familiar?"
Ye Shiyuan shook his head decisively. "I’m never seen him before."
Rong Xingyu: "..."
Rong Xingyu shrugged helplessly. "I can’t tell who it is either."
The person had covered himself up so tightly. He was not clairvoyant, if he could recognize him, that would really be something supernatural.
Beside him, Ye Shiyuan seemed to deflate all at once. He said dejectedly, "Then what do we do? With just this one surveillance video, how are we supposed to find this bastard?"
Rong Xingyu was amused by Ye Shiyuan’s furious use of the word "bastard."
He let out a soft laugh and reached out to pat Ye Shiyuan on the shoulder.
"It’s fine. We’ve already grasped quite a bit of information about this person."
Ye Shiyuan let out a confused "Huh?" and subconsciously repeated Rong Xingyu’s words. "Quite a bit?"
Wasn’t it true that they could not even see the person’s face?
Seeing that Ye Shiyuan was still completely bewildered, Rong Xingyu began explaining to him one point at a time.
"First of all, we can determine this person’s basic characteristics from the surveillance footage. It’s an adult male, on the thin side, with a height of roughly around one meter eighty-five."
"Wait," Ye Shiyuan could not help raising his hand to ask a question. "Teacher Rong, I have a question."
Rong Xingyu said, "Go ahead."
"How do you know his height is one meter eighty-five?"
Could it be that Rong Xingyu’s eyes were a ruler, able to measure height precisely down to the centimeter just by looking?
"It’s very simple. The doors to our school’s laboratories are two meters tall, and I’ve noticed that every time you pass through the doorway, you subconsciously lower your head a little, afraid of hitting the doorframe. At that moment, the height of your head lines up with the small window on the door."
Ye Shiyuan said uncertainly, "I... do I really lower my head when I go in?"
So he actually lowered his head every time he entered?
Rong Xingyu nodded. "But you can rest assured, even if you stand up straight, your head still won’t hit the doorframe."
Ye Shiyuan: "..."
Rong Xingyu continued, "So when I saw that boy on the surveillance footage walking into the lab with his head lowered, the height of the top of his head was also basically level with the window."
"My height is one meter eighty-six," Ye Shiyuan followed along with Rong Xingyu’s line of reasoning, "so this person’s height should be around one meter eighty-five?"
"That’s right." Rong Xingyu looked at Ye Shiyuan with approval. "You’re quite teachable."
Ye Shiyuan scratched his head and let out an embarrassed chuckle.
"There’s also another distinctive feature on this person."
Rong Xingyu narrowed his eyes, as if recalling what he had just seen in the surveillance footage.
"Do you remember? His left hand had scars, and they covered a relatively large area." Rong Xingyu raised his own left hand in front of Ye Shiyuan and waved it up and down.
Of course, there was not a single scar on Rong Xingyu’s hand. It even looked as smooth and fair as a peeled boiled egg.
Then Rong Xingyu used that same hand to point at his own left leg.
"And when this person walks, he’s always more cautious when stepping out with his left leg than with his right, and his pace is just a bit slower. So I boldly speculate that his left leg may have been injured before. Even if the wound has healed, it has already affected his walking posture and habits."
Ye Shiyuan’s mouth fell open. "..."
All of that... was seen from the surveillance footage?
So when he had been standing in front of the screen earlier, he had only been watching the excitement?
All Ye Shiyuan could remember was that a stranger had come in, bam, tampered with Rong Xingyu’s data, then turned around and left.
"And also..."
Hearing that Rong Xingyu was not done with his deductions yet, Ye Shiyuan quickly leaned in and asked, "And what else?"
Seeing the "thirst for knowledge" in Ye Shiyuan’s eyes, Rong Xingyu could not help finding it a little funny. He did not keep him in suspense and continued.
"Also, don’t you think he’s very familiar with our laboratory?"
