120: murderer

Chen Chuan, however, didn't react much. He looked at the hundreds of small screens on the monitor, then turned to Li Zhou and smiled, "Your surveillance system is quite comprehensive."

Hearing this, Li Zhou chuckled and replied, "It's a strict requirement. This is so we can constantly monitor the players' condition."

After speaking, he walked to the screen and said again, "Officer Chen, what do you need to see?"

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's look at the gate surveillance footage from three days ago."

Gate surveillance?

Li Zhou raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask further. He directly pulled up the three surveillance feeds from the gate area from three days ago.

The three cameras captured almost the entire scene outside the Haunted House's main entrance.

And, it was all in high definition.

Looking at this scene, Chen Chuan spoke again:

"From opening in the morning to closing, fast-forward through it."

Li Zhou complied.

Soon, the images on the monitor began to change.

Around 7 AM, figures started appearing outside the Haunted House.

Players drove up to the Haunted House's entrance, and quite consciously, formed a queue.

Around 8:30 AM, Li Zhou opened the door.

After saying a few words to the players, he walked into the Haunted House.

At 8:35 AM, Fang Xiaolu walked out, yawning.

Then, one by one, players entered the Haunted House after signing an agreement.

At this point, the speed had been accelerated to four times. Chen Chuan's eyes were fixed on the screen, seemingly searching for something.

Behind him, two young police officers also leaned forward, watching the screen without blinking.

"Speed it up a bit more."

After watching for a while, Chen Chuan suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Li Zhou continued to comply.

The surveillance footage at eight times speed was still very stable, without any pixelation or screen distortion.

"Faster!"

However, Chen Chuan only watched for a short while before again calling for acceleration.

The speed was increased to sixteen times.

Fortunately, those players would all stop outside the door for a while to sign the agreement before entering the Haunted House.

Otherwise, at sixteen times speed, it would be impossible to even make out a person's figure, let alone their appearance.

At this moment, Li Zhou also roughly understood what Chen Chuan was looking for.

His eyes were constantly fixed on the players in the footage, not letting any face escape his notice.

However, even after the entire surveillance playback from three days ago was finished, he still didn't seem to find the person he was looking for.

"The day before yesterday's."

Chen Chuan didn't stop, speaking again.

Taking advantage of this brief interval, the two young police officers behind him immediately rubbed their eyes.

Li Zhou pulled up the surveillance from the day before yesterday and started playing it back again at sixteen times speed.

Soon, the day's footage was played through again.

A hint of disappointment clearly flashed in Chen Chuan's eyes, who still had no new findings.

However, he still said, "Yes—"

This time, before he could finish his sentence, Li Zhou had already brought up yesterday's footage.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan didn't waste words and once again immersed himself in the footage.

However, after yesterday's surveillance playback was complete, he still didn't see what he wanted to see.

"Officer Chen, do you want today's?"

Looking at the two police officers who couldn't hide their disappointment, Li Zhou asked tentatively.

"No need for today's."

"Thank you, Boss Li."

Chen Chuan rubbed his temples and said.

"No trouble at all, it's just a small favor."

Li Zhou smiled, waved his hand, and shook his head.

He pursed his lips, still unable to suppress his curiosity, and asked, "Officer Chen, are you looking for someone?"

"That's right."

This time, Chen Chuan did not hide anything.

After rubbing his somewhat sore eyes, he turned to the two young police officers and said, "You two go out and wait for me first."

"Yes, Captain Chen!"

Hearing Chen Chuan's words, the two police officers nodded and turned to leave the monitoring room.

After the two left, Chen Chuan looked at Li Zhou and said, "For a while, I might still need your help to keep an eye out."

"Keep an eye out for what?"

Li Zhou was startled and asked subconsciously.

Chen Chuan took out his phone and then handed it to Li Zhou.

"Recently, there's been a murder case in Nanshan District. After investigation, the suspect is very likely hiding in this area."

"This suspect is very unusual; he especially likes to do exciting things. The previous crime scene was in an escape room in Nanshan District."

"This person is extremely dangerous. If you see him, remember not to make a fuss and call me immediately."

Hearing this, Li Zhou lowered his head and looked at the phone.

On a photo, a young man was holding a pair of scissors in one hand and making a V-sign with the other towards the camera, with a bright smile on his face.

Looking at the man in the phone, Li Zhou raised an eyebrow.

He didn't look like a dangerous person.

"Anyway, for this period, you and your employees should try not to go out at night."

"I'll send you this photo later, and you can tell your employees about it too."

"Remember, if you really see him, don't have any ideas!"

"Everything, wait until I arrive!"

Chen Chuan's tone was very serious.

Seeing that Li Zhou seemed indifferent, he immediately added:

"This is not a joke; he has at least three lives on his hands!"

Three lives?

Hearing this number, Li Zhou's expression finally changed slightly.

However, it wasn't fear, but rather a strange look.

If it were before, upon hearing that a murderer was in his vicinity, he might really have worried a bit.

But now, he felt no pressure at all.

Any one of his three horror employees could easily overpower this guy.

"Officer Chen, don't worry, I'll pay attention."

"If I see him, I'll call you immediately."

Although he didn't care much about this guy internally, he was still very willing to do something to eliminate harm for the people.

"Alright, then I'll be going first."

"I'll send you the photo later."

Hearing Li Zhou's words, Chen Chuan nodded.

He put his phone away and turned to walk out of the monitoring room.

Soon, he left the Haunted House with the other two police officers.

"Boss, what's going on here?"

"Why are Police Uncles here again?"

Not long after, Dai Xiaomei suddenly appeared in the monitoring room.

Looking at Li Zhou, who was sitting thoughtfully in front of the screen, she asked curiously.

"Nothing."

"Has your friend not arrived yet?"

Li Zhou didn't mention the murderer.

Shaking his head, he looked at Dai Xiaomei and asked.

"Not that fast."

Dai Xiaomei pouted when she saw Li Zhou didn't want to talk.

"Remember to let me know when she arrives."

Li Zhou didn't mind, saying without turning his head.

After speaking, he adjusted the monitoring screen back to its previous layout.

Then, he looked at one of the screens.

In the lounge, Wang Lin was standing in front of a player who had fainted.

Behind him, there were three other players who had also fainted.

A total of four people had been scared unconscious. This scene seemed to give Wang Lin an unknown shock.

Even through the screen, Li Zhou could see the bewildered look on his face.
