Chapter 951: Sweeten It Up

Smith was the first person to shake his head. “No, it still doesn’t make sense. I agree to the existence of the thief and that the victim’s insanity is linked to this thief who was following her, but you can’t just turn a thief into a murderer. We need evidence. Everyone has seen the video, the victim was the only one in the room when everything happened and the victim’s laptop was the device that captured the video. Thereafter, the victim had set a timing for the video to be released on the internet so that it would only be found after she had died. She wanted to be remembered. If she hadn’t killed herself, why else would she have filmed the video? From a psychological point of view, it was a deliberate suicide with a motive. She wanted the attention since she had felt wronged and that she was treated unjust. This is a more logical deduction. If she had been murdered, this video would never have appeared. Even if it had appeared, it would have been filmed in another angle, from a secret location the murderer had specifically picked out. But in contrast, the filming had been done by the victim herself. She opened the laptop. Other than her, there wasn’t anyone else in the scene who could have done it.”
Qin Mo’s finger tapped the side of his thigh, his actions giving off the illusion of a commander of an interstellar ship, cold, handsome, and very out of reach.
He glanced at Smith and seemed to be smiling, but there wasn’t a hint of warmth in his eyes as he continued to explain in a slow pace. “Who said you have to be present to film from a laptop?”
Smith wasn’t an ordinary person and had handled multiple cases. Even though he hasn’t caught Z, he still possessed a certain amount of common sense in this area.
Hence, when Qin Mo asked this questions, his entire face sank. “You mean…”
“Someone was controlling from afar.” There still wasn’t much emotion in his voice.
When he spoke, the youngster had already switched over to the main page.
With that, everyone in the crowd could see the change which was happening.
“The victim’s laptop had been hacked. There are traces of damage in the firewall. This can be verified easily if the change in the statistics is sent to the special forces for a test. That night, someone had infiltrated the victim’s network and had switched on the victim’s laptop camera using a far-range controlling tactic. That very person also made sure to schedule a time for the video to be automatically uploaded online.”
In that instant, Smith was stumped the crowd went into an uproar.
A suicide had just turned into a murder case and with such unorthodox methods. The reporters wouldn’t just stay in their seats since such a crime tactic was worthy of a big news.
Stalking, swapping medication, and filming the victim. Using such methods.
It explained the victim’s unease and her mentally unsound actions as she must have felt something, but couldn’t confirm where it was coming from.
Smith watched as the general consensus started to shift, but still felt like something was amiss. “What is the motive behind the murderer’s actions? If he had used such a complex method as you have mentioned, he definitely isn’t someone ordinary. But I cannot understand why a syndicate would spend so much effort on such an ordinary being. It just doesn’t make sense.”
“Mr Smith, you seem to have forgotten,” Qin Mo replied with deliberate slowness. “You have a case just like that. The perpetrator had never cared about his victim’s background or social standing and for both cases, there is a similarity, which is the use of the internet. You should be familiar with the name of this case, the Maiden’s Sacrifice. It was a thoroughly planned serial case.”
