Chapter 126: Surveillance in the Office Building Elevator – K’s New Peeping Method!

The priority of wiping out this drug trafficking organization was now extremely high—everything else had to make way for this case.

Because—Longguo’s control over narcotics was extremely strict.

Every year, countless anti-drug officers sacrificed their lives, and the country had long since reached a point of absolute loathing toward drugs.

And now…

Right here in the heart of Longguo—not even close to the Golden Triangle or any border regions—a massive drug trafficking organization had been hiding, undetected for several years until now.

If this wasn’t rooted out soon, all of Longguo’s longstanding anti-drug efforts would risk becoming a joke on the international stage.

…

At this moment—in front of the Vanke Cloud Tower in Xiangcheng District, Gusu City—two police cars were already parked.

The victim in the potassium cyanide poisoning case at the private cinema had worked at Jinwei Software Company, located on the 10th floor of this very building—and the company still hadn’t moved out.

The company currently had over 300 employees—a mid-to-large sized enterprise by Gusu City’s internet industry standards.

Liu Yang personally led the operation this time, dressed in his white police uniform.

Several officers from the Xiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team came along, accompanied by Zheng Hui, Bai Yu, and An Quan, to inquire about and investigate the case details.

The building security guards, who usually acted tough toward delivery guys, now kept their heads down in silence when faced with so many uniformed officers—not daring to say a word, let alone try to stop them from going upstairs.

Without hesitation, the group went straight into the elevator and pressed the button for the 10th floor.

Although this operation didn’t make a big scene—unlike before when the Huaihai Art Museum was fully surrounded, with passersby taking pictures out of curiosity—just as Su Ming had predicted:

Given how cautious the drug ring leader was,

they would no doubt find out…

that the police had once again turned their attention to the software company where the victim had worked.

When Liu Yang and his team arrived at Jinwei Software’s front desk, they immediately drew the attention of many employees.

The receptionist stood there stunned,

as if she’d never seen such a scene before, completely forgetting to even ask why the police were there.

The HR manager—one of the company boss’s loyal lapdogs—hurried to the general manager’s office to report the arrival of the police.

Once the company leadership showed up,

communication and cooperation became much easier. The general manager of Jinwei Software immediately expressed full support for the investigation without a hint of hesitation.

They too wanted to catch the murderer who had killed one of their employees—it was something everyone wanted closure on.

Of course—With Liu Yang himself showing up in his white uniform, only a fool would dare not cooperate.

Without delay, the officers began working. Each of them deployed their most familiar methods to search for useful clues.

Zheng Hui focused on chatting with the victim’s former colleagues, using emotional connection and casual conversation to pick out inconsistencies and get a clear picture of the dinner gathering that night.

An Quan went through the company’s surveillance records, as well as financial expenses from over a year ago and the projects being executed back then—hoping to uncover internal conflicts or factional disputes.

As for Bai Yu—He appeared to be aimlessly wandering the office, but in fact, he was scanning every corner for the special item Su Ming had mentioned earlier:

The one used by the drug ring leader to detect whether the police had started investigating Jinwei Software again.

After carefully checking the area several times,

Bai Yu frowned in confusion—he couldn’t find anything suspicious that could be used for transmitting information.

Besides, under normal circumstances,

no matter how bold the drug ring was, they wouldn’t dare install surveillance or bugs inside the company, right?

Unless…

The ring leader had been using existing equipment to monitor the place?

Like…

The ETC system, Heavenly Eye surveillance, media platforms—things Su Ming had brought up before.

So within a software company like this—what already-existing items could be used to deliver real-time intel?

That thought led Bai Yu to mentally cycle through various possibilities.

If he were Conan—or Sherlock Holmes—how would he go about finding that surveillance device?

No wait—in Sherlock’s time, such devices didn’t even exist.

So say he was Conan…

Where would he start searching for clues now?

Were there any similar cases he could reference,

any valuable methods he could borrow?

Just as Bai Yu was deep in thought—

Ding—The sound of the elevator arriving echoed from outside the company door.

His thoughts were interrupted, and he instinctively turned to look at the elevator.

A delivery guy holding milk tea rushed out—phone in hand, peeking into the office, muttering something under his breath.

A few seconds later, he placed the milk tea on the delivery table, then turned around and re-entered the elevator.

Watching the elevator doors slowly close, Bai Yu suddenly thought of something.

He immediately rushed out of the office, stretching out his hand to block the closing doors.

As the elevator opened again under the infrared sensor, Bai Yu stepped inside with a polite, apologetic smile.

He walked to the very back of the elevator, then looked up at the camera mounted on the ceiling.

Squinting slightly, he murmured under his breath:

“I think I’ve…found the rat’s eye!”

…

At that same moment—In Lucheng City’s Xing Sheng Tower, top floor.

K was swiping calmly across his laptop’s touchpad, confident and composed, reviewing the details of the poisoning case that “Poison” had previously shared.

As he analyzed carefully—trying to figure out where Poison might have exposed information.

The laptop screen suddenly popped up a live surveillance feed.

It was the elevator camera, capturing Liu Yang and his team heading to the software company.

All the officers in uniform were marked with red boxes. Bai Yu, in his suit, had no box around him.

It was obvious—K had hacked into the elevator camera feed and coded a script to identify police uniforms.

As soon as an officer appeared on camera, the script would immediately alert him—providing real-time updates on police actions.

Like a rat obsessed with peeping—K had truly gone to every length to keep tabs on the police’s every move.

After waiting several more minutes and confirming that this wasn’t just a show, but a serious move toward something significant—K picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Poison’s number.

Fifteen seconds later, the call was picked up right on time, and K’s calm, confident voice came through:

“They’ve tracked you down to the software company.”

“Just as I expected. Their next target is you. Keep hiding—just like I told you.”

“That’s it. I’m hanging up.”

After ending the call, the elevator feed showed Bai Yu and the delivery guy inside.

But the difference was—The delivery guy was looking down at the delivery receipt,while Bai Yu was staring straight at the elevator camera.

His eyes full of never-before-seen determination…
