The three of them talked while entering the bureau. They were heading to the monitoring room where Ye Jian and Xia Jinyuan went last time.
Ye Jian said that she saw the silver-gray car, but she did not see a silver-gray car at the entrance of every intersection of the highway to the road where the accident occurred, and there was no CCTV installed at the accident scene. So, only Ye Jian could find out which car was abnormal from last night as soon as possible.
“Several workers in the repair shop are very sure that every wheel of the car has been carefully inspected. There is absolutely no trace of a steel nail puncturing the tires at all. The steel nails that could puncture the wheel are the most common nails in the market. The workers also used it. But they just could not trace where that steel nail came from.”
“Lao Guan’s friend said that Lao Guan is a kind-hearted person, he never quarrels with others, and he has never offended anyone.” Ye Jian carefully observed the video of the CCTV. Ye Jian could also listen to the officials of the Public Security as they dictated the situation they had investigated to Xia Jinyuan.
The video switched scenes quickly. It started with the appearance of Lao Guan’s car through Hongkou City. This video was from the Hongkou City Transportation Bureau.
Last time when Ye Jian watched this video, Director Yang was not present. So, he was very much surprised when he saw her in action now… How fast was this kid playing the video? Could she even see anything?
Ye Jian stared at the scenes that played by quickly, then she asked Xia Jinyuan, “Is there a paint that can quickly repaint a car’s color? If from the highway till the accident scene, there is no trace of that gray car passing by at every intersection, could it be that maybe they have modified the car?”
“Why do you say that?” Xia Jinyuan looked up at Ye Jian, who had been staring closely at the screen. The video was playing fast; one could only see her eyes constantly moving, even the cold screen light made her expression to have some evil hints.
Ye Jian paused the video five minutes after Lao Guan drove past the highway; there was a milky white car appearing in the scene.
Director Yang, who had been looking at Ye Jian, secretly took a deep breath. Not only was she watching, but she was really watching it. She could even remember very clearly which scene appeared, at which time, that was why she could input the exact time to pause the video.
This was not a sharp memory; this should be called super memory and reaction ability.
Ye Jian did not pay attention to Director Yang’s reaction; she just began to talk about what she found from the scenes, “This car has been following Lao Guan after his lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Lao Guan was at the highway at 3:12 pm yesterday, and this car was also there at 3:22 pm.”
“At 10 o’clock in the evening, Lao Guan drove his car to the service area and rested for two hours. This car also entered the service area and rested for two hours. At 12 o’clock, Lao Guan continued driving and entered the auto repair shop after exiting the highway at 3 o’clock in the morning; he started driving again at 3:45 am, and the car accident was at 4:21 pm.
Ye Jian paused these four frames and pointed at the four scenes with a finger, “The white car is seen entering and exiting the highway, but then the white car disappeared. I’ve looked through the videos of every intersection. The white car is gone.”
The Public Bureau personnel quickly took Ye Jian’s record and explained it carefully, “Go look and see if the white car entered any nearby repair shop to spray paint and then ask…”
“No, no need to ask, they didn’t spray paint in a repair shop, they sprayed the car themselves.” Ye Jian said with certainty: “When I got out of the car at the scene to have a look, I smelled paint. Then, a grey car appeared.”
