Chapter 211: The Hand That Disappeared!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Chen Naidong had returned from Hangzhou just yesterday. Upon hearing the news of his father’s death, he had almost deleted the files he was holding. He hastily applied for leave, bought a ticket in a hurry, and rushed back home.

However, what he saw was a lifeless body lying there. Later, he heard from his mother that his father’s death might not have been an accident but a murder. He had hoped for it, even expected it. He wished that the police could find the culprit who harmed his dad.

But they hadn’t, and they still hadn’t. The police seemed utterly helpless, unable to determine the circumstances of his father’s death. Chen Naidong had lost confidence in them. When he saw the police approaching once again, he immediately rushed over.

“You police are utterly useless! You can’t even figure out how my dad died. What are you here for now? Trying to deceive us? Is it that difficult to say my dad accidentally fell into the water and died? Do you have to drag my dad into this for some ulterior motive, like boosting your performance? I despise people like you the most!”

Chen Naidong didn’t care about his mother Lan Xiaofen’s attempts to restrain him. He vented his frustration on Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang. He was just a young man in his twenties, suddenly without his father, and the burden weighed heavily on him.

Seeing Su Xuan and the others, who came over with his father’s death hanging over them, ready to arrest people and casually making baseless accusations, naturally, the police were not pleased.

“Sir, please mind your words,” Su Xuan responded calmly. “We are just approaching this case objectively. As for the speculations you mentioned, please refrain from defaming the dignity of public servants like us.”

Zhou (Jiang’s expression also turned serious. He was a police officer, and this time, he was investigating the case to find the culprit behind Chen Jianguo’s death. It was impossible for them to falsely accuse someone for personal gain. For the sake of performance? That was a laughable notion!

In their current situation, did they even need to think about their performance?

“Defamation?” Chen Naidong sneered. “That’s really amusing. Can 1 even defame you guys? Since you all claim my dad was murdered, then tell me, after investigating for so many days, where’s the murderer who killed my dad? Where’s the killer? Clearly, it was just an accidental drowning. You’ve turned it into this. Now, can you explain what you guys are thinking?”

Although Chen Naidong returned later, he had thoroughly reviewed all the surveillance footage from the night his father passed away. He didn’t believe that his father was murdered.

After all, he was well aware of his father’s habit. In the past, Chen Naidong had warned his father not to casually go to the riverbank at night. It was a quirk his father had—whenever he had an argument with his mother, he would head to the riverbank. Regardless of whether it was daytime or nighttime, he would take a stroll by the river, do some fishing, as if it could relieve his stress.

He would return as a perfectly ordinary father.

When he was younger and less understanding, Chen Naidong even thought that this habit of his father’s was quite good. It reduced a lot of conflicts in their family. Even his mother wouldn’t be frequently subjected to his father’s anger.

However, later on, ever since the father of his desk mate at school accidentally fell into the river and died, Chen Naidong had always felt that this habit of his father’s could easily lead to his own demise. But trying to get his father to change his ways was impossible.

Over the years, Chen Naidong had watched his father go to the riverbank without any incidents, which eventually made him forget about his concerns. However, he never expected that after all those years without any issues, this time, his father’s trip to the riverbank would result in wet shoes.

Chen Naidong was firmly convinced that this was simply an accident, and his father had slipped and fallen into the river. As for the wound on his ankle, he was aware of it as well.

But…

“People always have various wounds on their bodies.”

“I accidentally hurt my hand, and I still need to think about why and where I got injured.”

“How can you be so sure that my dad was definitely pulled down by someone?”

“Didn’t you check the surveillance? Even I, as a layman, could tell that he fell by himself.”

“Didn’t you see his feet? They were clearly visible, weren’t they?”

“Or did you see something else?”

Chen Naidong bombarded them with questions upon his arrival. However, it turned out that his questions were leaving Zhou Qiang somewhat speechless.

If they could see that hand, they wouldn’t still be investigating the case now.

“I saw it.”

At this moment, Su Xuan suddenly spoke up. Before anyone could react, he said, “I saw the hand grabbing your dad’s ankle.”

“At the same time, I can be sure that your dad was indeed murdered.”

“However, we’re still not certain who the perpetrator is.”

“Chen Naidong, you’re Chen Jianguo’s son.”

“I believe you also don’t want your dad’s death to remain unexplained, right?”

Chen Naidong:…

Facing the serious-looking police officers in front of him, Chen Naidong took a deep breath.

“Shouldn’t this matter be me questioning you instead? Why should you be the one to tell me this?”

“You claim you saw a hand. Come on, tell me, where exactly did you see it?”

He had watched the surveillance footage several times, front and back, and he never once saw the hand that Su Xuan was talking about…

Now…

He was saying he saw it?

Humph!

“Right here.”

Su Xuan certainly wouldn’t casually make things up. His body had been enhanced, and his vision was several times better than an ordinary person’s. He could see things that others couldn’t.

“I happen to have a copy of this particular surveillance footage.”

“You see this…”

Su Xuan had already anticipated that someone might doubt his theory, so he had made a backup copy of the surveillance footage on his own phone from the beginning.

Now, upon hearing Chen Naidong’s question, he took out his phone.

“This is the ten-second surveillance recording of when Chen Jianguo accidentally fell.”

“Look here…”

“I’m playing it back at half speed.”

While speaking, Su Xuan took out his phone and began to play the footage in slow motion.

Although Chen Naidong still had some doubts, when he saw Su Xuan’s serious expression, he leaned in.

However, the video on the phone was exactly the same as what he had seen before…

“Why are you showing me this?”

“Isn’t this the same video as before?”

Without Su Xuan’s extraordinary vision, it was impossible to see what was inside. Chen Naidong thought Su Xuan might be playing a trick on him and became angry on the spot.

“This spot.”

Su Xuan’s eyes were quick, so he paused the video and took a screenshot.

Then he zoomed in the image several times.

Using software repair, he restored the image that was originally blurry and couldn’t be made out any further.

Right under everyone’s noses.

The hand gripping Chen Jianguo’s ankle…

Was exposed in front of everyone.

Zhou Qiang:…??

Lan Xiaofen and Chen Naidong:!!!
