Chapter 378 They Can’t Refuse
Simone was an expert in handling these types of situations. She confidently stated, “There are no traces of editing, as confirmed by the backup surveillance videos in the control room. The issue must lie within the two minutes of surveillance footage. I will return to the corridor and take another look.
Sean and Skyler also had their own theories. “Alright, let’s go back.”
The three of them made their way back to the corridor.
Simone used her gemstone ring to summon a strand of auspicious energy and wrapped it around the surveillance footage.
Soon, they discovered a strand of residual negative energy.
“It appears that the person used negative energy to manipulate the surveillance when they took and returned the talisman to Jane. This caused the surveillance magnetic field to become chaotic, resulting in the disappearance of the footage for about two minutes.”
As a member of the special department, Sean was aware of powerful geomancy masters who possessed. such abilities.
He asked with concern, ‘Does this mean we won’t find any evidence?’ If they didn’t even know who was responsible and all the evidence had been cleared, how could they solve this case?
However, Simone shook her head. ‘No, we can still find evidence. That person couldn’t have used negative energy to disrupt all the surveillance along the way. So as long as we trace and investigate other surveillance footage, we will definitely find something.”
Sean agreed, “Alright, I’ll go and retrieve the footage.
He quickly went to copy the surveillance footage from the residential area and the nearby streets during the time of the inexplicable disappearances.
Simone pulled up the footage on the computer and opened multiple windows to play and browse through
them.
Sean and Skyler stood behind her and watched, but their eyes quickly grew tired.
The two exchanged a glance. With so many videos to review, could Simone really find the problem? If it were them, they would have to go through them one by one.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to find anything while multitasking.
Ten minutes later.

Sean and Skyler were both shocked.
This was incredibly impressive.
Simone not only watched multiple windows simultaneously but also found five problems.
Impressive. They couldn’t help but be in awe.
Scan hurriedly asked, “Is there still hope to recover the edited footage? I’ll find a professional to come and
try.”
Simone said. “No need, I can do it.”
They might collaborate with each other in the future, so there was no harm in letting them know about some of their abilities.
Sean and the others were stunned for a moment. “Ah, you can?”
Simone nodded, “Yes.”
Then Sean and the others saw Simone’s hands moving quickly on the notebook
Another window popped up, filled with code that they couldn’t understand at all.
After a while, the first edited footage in the surveillance video was successfully restored.
It showed a corner of the community garden.
At night, a man and Jane appeared in the garden and walked towards the entrance of the community.
The timing coincided with the earlier disappearance.
Seeing the restored footage, Sean and Skyler were once again amazed.
She was able to restore it so quickly.
Her skills were even more impressive than those of their department’s professionals. Sean couldn’t help but exclaim that they had struck gold.
wenty minutes later, Simone restored all the edited footage in the other four videos.
polded at the video and said, “Have you noticed something off about Jane in the later footage at these two-time points?”
Skyler also noticed, “Her movements are stiff, her complexion is pale without a hint of color, as pale as a drad prsson

spell similar to reanimating a corpse. He brought Jane back all the way so he wouldn’t be discovered.”
She said to Sean, “You can go and check the surveillance from the community to the ancient city. These two people will definitely appear again, and that will be enough evidence.”
Indeed, her intuition was correct; the surveillance footage was crucial.
Sean’s face lit up with a smile, “Great, I’ll go and check right away.”
Indeed, asking for Simone’s help was the right decision.
If it were up to them, they would never have noticed the two instances of missing time.
Nor would they have noticed the edited surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage was retrieved, and the sections on the road were not edited.
At several intersections on the highway, the man was captured driving with Jane sitting beside him in the footage.
And when she went to the ancient city and returned to the capital city, Jane’s state was noticeably different.
When she left, she was laughing and joking with the man.
But when she came back, she sat in the passenger seat with a vacant look in her eyes.
Her eyes didn’t blink, she didn’t speak, and throughout the journey, she seemed like a living dead.
Sean said. “This man is the suspect. We need to immediately investigate his identity and apprehend him.”
These surveillance videos can serve as evidence to capture the suspect.
He added. “However, relying solely on these surveillance videos cannot completely prove that Jane was killed by him. After all, just by observing her state, it cannot be proven whether Jane was already dead or if he killed her
Simone asked, “Where is Jane’s b*dy? I want to see it.”
Sean and the others now highly regarded her abilities and took her directly to the specialized morgue.
The morgue had undergone special treatment so the b*dy would not decompose for several months.
Simone walked over and carefully examined it.
She was indeed killed by someone who absorbed her luck and life force.”.
She then turned Jane’s b*dy over and pulled down her clothes.
There are traces of a curse on her back.”

It was the first occasion for them to encounter someone capable of extracting the aura of a spellcaster.
In addition to her remarkable skills, they were at a loss for words to further characterize Simone.
