Zhuo Yun came back before long.
He disregarded Huo Yao’s presence and reported to Min Yu. “Someone entered the auction storeroom, but everything is still intact.”
Zhuo Yun felt really annoyed with himself. When he had gone over earlier, he should have entered the place to check. If he did, perhaps they would have caught the intruder by now.
Min Yu narrowed his eyes and asked. “What did he touch?”
“I can’t tell.” Zhuo Yun shook his head. He paused before he continued. “Perhaps he ran out of time and chose to give up?”
Yang Yi glanced sideways at Zhuo Yun and scoffed. “He was in the room. Why would he change his mind halfway?”
Even if he did not have enough time, it was easy enough to take a random object on his way out.
“I know what you mean, but I checked and he really didn’t take anything. Also, no one else was in there,” said Zhuo Yun, promptly scratching his head.
Yang Yi pressed his forehead. If the intruder wanted to enter the auction storeroom, he could only enter by the entrance. In order to access the room, he would have to walk by the surveillance cameras.
He turned to look at Huo Yao and asked. “Oh yes. Miss Huo, do you think you can help us restore the footage?”
Although they were unable to see live footage of the intruder, the signal jammer was unable to stop the surveillance cameras from recording the video.
After all, the intruder did not hack into the actual surveillance system.
Huo Yao was sitting quietly with her head lowered. She raised her head when she heard Yang Yi’s request. “I don’t mind trying.”
......
Yang Yi instantly felt hopeful.
Sure enough, it was the right decision to invite Miss Huo to the auction. Considering her puting abilities, it was easy as pie for her to recover the footage.
Huo Yao walked up in front of the puter again and pulled up her sleeves. She accessed the files on the puter’s hard disk and started inputting the code.
She was typing so quickly that Yang Yi was unable to follow her work even though he kept staring at the screen. However, he could roughly tell she was writing a recovery code.
Roughly two minutes later, a red exclamation mark appeared on the puter monitor indicating failure.
“I can’t do it,” said Huo Yao as she pulled her hands back.
Yang Yi did not expect Huo Yao to fail. Then again, if the intruder was not a pro, they would have captured him ages ago.
“Have you forgotten? There’s fluorescent powder on the floor in the storeroom. I’m sure some of it must have gotten onto the culprit. I’m sure we can find him by tracking the fluorescent powder.”
Zhuo Yun raised his chin proudly. He was the one who had e up with the idea.
Huo Yao looked at Zhuo Yun and asked. “What’s fluorescent powder?”
“The powder glows in the dark and it’s very hard to clean,” explained Zhuo Yun. “Since the intruder entered the room, we still have one final play against him.”
Zhuo Yun chuckled before turning to look at Yang Yi. “When the auction is over, just proceed as planned.”
Yang Yi nodded. He stopped trying to recover the surveillance footage and quickly gave the orders for the men to get ready.
