Chapter 113: Sex in the Car (1/2)

In mere minutes, Lao Yao was able to restore a ton of files in the hard drive. There were numerous video files in there, and when Lao Yao clicked on one randomly, it turned out to be a video clip of a man stabbing another man with a knife.

“Oh my god!” shrieked Lao Yao.

“Well done, Lao Yao, but I need you to go out for a while,” ordered Xiaotao sternly. “Song Yang and will be going through these files together. They’re confidential, so the utmost care must be taken to avoid leaking anything out to the public.”

“Alright, I’ll go out and grab something to eat,” replied Lao Yao. “Don’t forget to protect yourselves, kids! The condoms are in the drawer!”

He then quickly slipped into his sandals and ran out the door. I was so focused on the video files that I didn’t really hear what he was saying at first. When I realized it, I balled up sheets of paper on the desk and threw it at him.

“Bastard!” I shouted.

Lao Yao left with a naughty smile on his face. Xiaotao closed the door immediately once he was gone.

Although there were many video files to look through, it actually wasn’t that hard to find the one we were looking for because they were catalogued with the date the videos were recorded on. We found it after only a few minutes. The surveillance video was shot at night, plus the camera used wasn’t of the highest quality, so it was very grainy and pixelated. Xiaotao asked me to increase the playback speed of the video, then after a while, she pointed at a car in the video and exclaimed, “That’s the one!”

“The video’s too blurry,” I commented. “I’ll tell Lao Yao to clean it up later.”

Xiaotao chuckled. “You’ve watched too many Hollywood movies, Song Yang. That kind of technology doesn’t exist. At most, you can adjust the color and tone of the video to sharpen the image. Here, let me try.”

As I sat in front of the computer screen, Xiaotao stood on my left and inched closer to hold the mouse. I could feel her soft body pressed against mine, and my face reddened again.

Xiaotao worked on the video for a while, and soon enough it looked much clearer. She looked back at me and asked, “Why is your face red?”

“No reason, let’s watch the video again.”

Xiaotao smiled. She pulled her chair right next to mine and sat down very close to me. I could clearly smell her scent and my heart started racing.

Fortunately, my attention gradually shifted away to the surveillance video after a while. We stared at the couple in the car for twelve minutes, then repeated the video again and again, but we found nothing. I frowned and remarked, “It looks like they didn’t change their positions at all!”

“What are you thinking about?” Xiaotao asked with a smile.

“No, seriously. Doesn’t it look like the woman was as still as a corpse from beginning to end to you?”

I rewound the video and zoomed in on the two figures in the car. Although the video was quite blurry, I could see that the woman’s eyes were open the whole time.

“Do women’s eyes stay open when they’re having sex?” I asked.

“I don’t think so,” answered Xiaotao. “If it was enjoyable, then her eyes should be closed.”

Right now, we were both in a serious mode, so neither of us felt shy about it anymore.

“Also,” I added, “this was the parking lot near the company where the husband worked. He seemed to have deliberately parked the car right where the camera could clearly capture them in action. They even turned on the light inside the car! It just seems to me that he was trying to provide evidence proving that his wife was alive before the car crash.”

“You mean the husband was having sex with his wife’s dead body in the car?!”

“Yes, that’s why he needed Viagra’s help.”

“That’s disgusting!” cried Xiaotao with a grimace. “To think that he’d go to such length just to get the insurance money!”

I copied the video to a USB flash drive, deleted all the recovered data, then unplugged the hard disk. We were leaving Lao Yao’s room when we bumped into him.

“You’re both done?” he asked.

“Yes,” Xiaotao replied. “By the way, are you interested in joining the police force as a consultant like Song Yang?”

“A consultant?” Lao Yao considered.

“Yes, a technical consultant.”

“How much money do I get?”
