Father Zhu hung up the phone and sat down on the sofa.

Not long after I sat down, Mother Zhu came down from the second floor.

Zhu's mother walked to Zhu's father and sat down, and the two began to talk.

"The company's affairs haven't been settled yet?"

"I still have some savings over the years. If you don't have enough money, you can use it first."

Father Zhu took a deep breath and said, "No, my sons have already helped me pay back most of it."

"I can handle the rest myself."

As long as you sell the extra cars and real estate in your name, you can pay it off.

The conversation between the two was quite friendly at first, but as they talked, they started to quarrel.

"I told you in the past not to pamper Jiaojiao too much, as it would spoil others, but you just didn't listen. Now, you've made the Zhu family heavily in debt!"

"What do you mean? Am I the only one who spoiled Jiaojiao? Don't you want to pamper Jiaojiao anymore?"

"What's wrong with my pampering? I'm not as stupid as you doting!"

"What's the point of saying this now? Can the company be revived by just complaining?"

While the two were arguing fiercely, a man wearing servant's clothes stepped onto the stairs with a tray in both hands.

On the tray, there was a plate of delicious-looking pastries and a glass of juice.

The man's figure became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from the surveillance screen.

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother did not notice this person passing by at all, their minds were focused on the quarrel.

After about two minutes, the man quickly walked downstairs carrying the empty tray.

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother are still quarreling.

After a while, the man carried a bag of domestic garbage, lowered his head, and walked towards the door.

Not long after the man left, there was a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground on the second floor.

Zhu's father and Zhu's mother stopped arguing and hurried upstairs to check.

At the end of the surveillance screen, there is Mother Zhu’s helpless cry, “Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao…”

Gu Linjun clicked the mouse to pause the video, then moved the mouse and dragged the progress bar until the man appeared and left.

Gu Linjun watched it carefully for a long time, then silently closed the video.

He stood up from his seat, turned around and looked at the person behind him and said, "The murderer is a habitual criminal at first glance. Avoiding surveillance is almost a subconscious behavior on his part. He kept his head down the whole time, so the surveillance did not capture his appearance."

Gu Sen, "Now I can only find a man based on his body shape."

"But now is the era of beast control. If the murderer has an auxiliary spirit beast that can disguise his appearance, then the body shape data in the surveillance video will not be referenceable."

Several people in the room looked at each other and were speechless. They all knew that Gu Sen's guess was very likely to be true.

Otherwise, since the case of Gu Mengmeng's poisoning had been filed for so long, it would be impossible for the Town Security Bureau not to find a single suspect.

In other words, even if you go around in circles and know that the murderer is indeed there, you still can't catch him.

Everyone's mood was not good. Everyone felt depressed and unable to express their anger.

At this moment, Gu Mengmeng climbed onto the seat where Gu Linjun was sitting before. She stretched out her arms to get the mouse that Gu Linjun casually threw aside.

Gu Linjun was the first to notice Gu Mengmeng's actions. He moved the mouse to the edge of the table so that Gu Mengmeng could easily reach it.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong, do you want to play on the computer?"

Gu Linjun didn't even think in the direction that Gu Mengmeng wanted to watch the surveillance video, and subconsciously thought that she wanted to play computer games.

Gu Mengmeng had just watched Gu Linjun operate and had already learned how to use the computer.

She skillfully clicked on the video, dragged the progress bar, and moved it to the moment when the man came downstairs.

Gu Mengmeng opened her big round eyes, stared at the man in the surveillance screen for a while, and then spoke in a soft and waxy voice.

"Grandpa, I saw this man in school!"

When Gu Mengmeng stood aside and watched before, she felt like she had seen this man somewhere before.

After careful observation just now, Gu Mengmeng finally confirmed that she had seen the murderer.

The murderer did have a layer of disguise, but it had no effect on Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng was only briefly confused at first. After she blinked, the man's figure in her sight had changed into his real appearance.

She guessed in her mind that the monsters that helped men disguise themselves were birds, and they were of low racial rank.

As the king of birds, the phoenix cub can automatically break through this low-level confusion without even having to do anything.

Gu Linjun and others in the room suddenly became energetic when they heard Gu Mengmeng's words.

"!!!"

"Mengmeng, is what you said true?"

"Mengmeng, where have you seen him?"

"Mengmeng, are you sure he is the person you remember?"

"..."

Gu Mengmeng jumped down from the chair, her eyes swept across everyone, "Okay, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but I can't answer so many at once!"

"Just listen to me and tell me slowly."

Gu Mengmeng paused for a moment when she said this. She sorted out the words in her mind before continuing.

"First of all, I don't know why, but I don't seem to be affected by the disguise and can see the original figure of the person in the video."

Of course she couldn't say it was because the bloodline of the mythical beast Phoenix suppressed ordinary birds and spiritual beasts, and the disguise was easily broken.

But she couldn't think of how to explain it, so she chose to use such an ambiguous statement.

Let others guess, since they can't guess the real reason anyway.

"The person in the surveillance video is actually a boy, a boy of the same age as my eldest brother."

"The reason why I was deeply impressed by him is because for a period of time, I often saw his presence in every corner."

"Every time he appears, he hides in the crowd. Whenever I look at him, he will immediately turn around and leave."

"I was particularly impressed by the back view of the person leaving. It was exactly the same as the back view of the person in the video when he left."

Gu Qingfeng asked nervously, "Mengmeng, have you ever talked? He didn't do anything to you, right?"

Unexpectedly, the murderer was actually in the school. Just listening to it made him feel scared.

If something happened to Mengmeng, he would never forgive himself in this life.

He promised to protect Mengmeng, but in the end he didn't even notice the many potential dangers around Mengmeng. He really failed as the big brother.

Gu Qingsong also had an annoyed look on his face, annoyed that he had not been able to protect Mengmeng.
