Chapter 1213 Nothing Escapes Wynter’s Eyes
There were people with different opinions. “It’s normal for nightclub staff to wear earpieces inside the ber.”
Wynter chuckled softly. Tm not saying it’s abnormal. It’s just that this might be our breakthrough.”
“What do you mean?”
Wynter gestured for them to look at the surveillance footage. “Countless cameras are recording every movement of everyone in this bar
‘That’s what we see on the surface. Hence, it’s our first instinct to check the surveillance. There’s nothing wrong with that.
The problem is that the bar handed over the surveillance footage to you in -advance. It’s as if they had everything prepared.”
Wynter pointed at the enlarged image on the monitor. These aren’t ordinary earpieces. They have strong anti–interference capabilities, so they would have backup archives.
‘Since the surveillance footage is preserved so well, we can assume that whatever Sky said that day was recorded as well. We need to find a way to get our hands on it‘
Some of the officers were a little puzzled. How did Wynter know so much about communication devices?
But of course, she knew. It was part of Wynter’s job. She had been involved in building security nets. She had knowledge of them since some of the
equipment came from the dark web.
Not everyone in the team knew Wynter’s identity. The higher–ups only mentioned that she was there to help with the investigation. It appeared now that she was indeed a specialist in this.
Plus, as someone who had both medical and legal expertise, Wynter’s eyes were sharper than anyone’s.
‘Also, the victim’s walking posture seemed peculiar after she got up. People’s movements may be unsteady when under the influence, and their legs may be

shaky, but they wouldn’t exhibit the kind of behavior she did.
“From the footage, it seems like she was walking with self–awareness, but I’m inclined to believe she was unconscious of it.
“Has the forensic department conducted any analysis? Or are the victim’s family refusing an autopsy?”
“We’ve contacted her family, and they are on their way here now. It’ll take some time.”
Wynter glanced at the time on her phone, her gaze then settled on the corner where Vanessa had disappeared. “Let’s retrieve the data archive first. Don’t alert anyone.”
Not much time had passed since the incident. The other party likely hadn’t had a chance to delete it yet if there was anything recorded in the data archive.
Judging from the bar’s response, they seemed more concerned about the surveillance footage.
Wynter was experienced in this regard. While others might not realize, she understood better than anyone that while surveillance footage could sometimes provide clues, it could also create illusions.
For instance, the footage might give the impression that Vanessa had disappeared in the corner. However, in reality, she might have simply walked into one of the cameras‘ blind spots.
Moreover, these cameras were not stationary. With someone capable of manipulating camera angles, what you saw was exactly what they intended to show you.
Wynter pointed to an empty section of the corridor. “Get the investigation team to check this stretch of pathway. Specifically, investigate whether there are any hidden passages leading to Hawford Financial Center.”
“Hidden passages?”
Wynter nodded. “It can’t be teleportation. A person can’t just inexplicably appear in another building. Yet, the security guard in Hawford Financial Center
is certain that the victim never entered their premises.
“There is also no footage of the victim on their surveillance. That’s why I suspect there might be a hidden passage here.”

3/3
A hidden passage? Wasn’t that overly complex? Some of the officers were considering this.
One of them voiced their skepticism, “This isn’t a movie or a TV show. What would a bar gain from having a hidden passage?”
