Chapter 7021
While Duncan was flying to Australia, numerous Japanese ninjas also immediately set out for China.
Thanks to China’s recent visa-free policy, hundreds of ninjas, free of any prior paperwork, simply arrived from various airports on chartered flights provided by the Ito family, with their passports in hand.
Ruoli, before the ninjas arrived, had already begun her investigation with the He family.
She borrowed several of the Su family’s security personnel from her sister, Zhiyu.
And had them hack into Tomson’s surveillance system and roadside surveillance,
Immediately retrieving all the footage from the past two days.
Analyzing the footage, they quickly found footage of Claire and her family departing in a commercial vehicle.
However, Ruoli was surprised to find that the car’s windows completely blocked out any view of the interior as it passed the surveillance camera.
The rear windows were covered in black privacy film, obscuring any view of the interior,
But the front windshield, inexplicably, became a mirrored surface beneath the camera.
Ruoli initially dismissed the issue,
But as she tracked the incident through the surveillance cameras and reached the highway, something strange happened.
The highway surveillance doesn’t cover the entire route.
The footage is segmented, each separated by at least a kilometer.
So, in one surveillance frame, Claire’s car was clearly visible,
But in the next seven identical cars appeared.
Ruoli was stunned.
“What’s going on? Where did all these cars come from?”
The Su family’s technician explained:
“Second Miss, these cars suddenly appeared. It seems they were already waiting on the road.”
“They weren’t in the same frame before, but now they’ve all converged.”
Ruoli zoomed in, scrutinizing each car, frowning.
“These cars look identical.”
“No license plates, nothing special.”
“Now it’s impossible to tell which car Mrs. Wade is in…”
Then, in the next surveillance frame,
The number of identical cars continued to increase.
Continuing to track along the surveillance, the technician said in confusion:
“Second Miss, the number of vehicles of the same type here is still increasing,”
“And we found that they are constantly overtaking each other in the surveillance footage.”
“It is probably the same when we can’t take pictures.”
“In this case, it is basically impossible for us to locate which one is the target vehicle.”
Ruoli said solemnly:
“The other party is not only well prepared, but also a little too well prepared…”
Another technician blurted out:
“Second Miss, there are already cars leaving the highway from here.”
“Should we continue to track along the vehicles leaving the highway?”
Ruoli said, “We can’t tell which one is the target vehicle at all.”
“If we have to track every single one of them, we alone wouldn’t be enough.”
After that, she thought of a detail and quickly asked,
“Quickly check which lane they used to exit the highway.”
“Was it a manual lane or the ETC?”
The technician brought up the toll booth video and said,
“Second Miss, it’s the ETC.”
Ruoli felt like she had grasped a clue and said,
“Even if the car didn’t have a license plate, it must have left its vehicle information when applying for the ETC.”
“Let’s check the records in the ETC system!”
The technician busied himself at the computer for a moment, then said,
“We found the Second Miss. The license plate is an Aurous Hill license plate, number ck196.”
Ruoli said excitedly: “Then quickly check the registration information of this CK196!”
The other party replied: “The owner’s name is Jacob Willson, and the registered vehicle information is a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.”
“Jacob Willson?”
Ruoli frowned and said, “This…how is this possible?”
Ruoli naturally knew Jacob’s situation.
She knew that Jacob had the most expensive Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Why would this commercial vehicle use his ETC?
So, Ruoli asked: “Can the current ETC be removed without damage?”
“I remember that it couldn’t be used after it was removed before.”
“And it had to be reactivated.”
A staff member said, “ETC is much more relaxed now. There is no need to go to a designated location for installation.”
“If you buy it online, it can be mailed directly to your home.”
“And it can also be activated on your behalf.”
“The previous ETC had an elastic switch.”
“It would be activated after being stuck on the glass.”
“After being removed from the glass, the elastic switch would be invalid when it was opened.”
“But now if you buy it online, the seller can directly stick the elastic switch with a hard object,”
“So it doesn’t need to be stuck on the glass and can be placed anywhere.”
Ruoli said with some surprise:
“So, Jacob took the ETC from Cullinan and put it into this car.”
After that, she immediately ordered:
“Keep an eye on this car for me,”
“I want to know where it has been and where it finally went!”
“Okay, Second Miss.”
Ruoli thought that she had found a clue as soon as she came up,
But unexpectedly, another staff member soon said:
“Second Miss, I also see a car getting off the highway here.”
“It also took the ETC channel.”
“I checked in the system, and its ETC information is also CK196.”
“What’s going on?”
Ruoli suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked quickly:
“Did they copy Jacob Willson’s ETC?”
The technician said, “The logic of ETC is the encryption key.”
“It is difficult for ordinary people to crack it, but for professionals, it is very simple to crack it.”
“It’s just that cracking it is of little value.”
“In theory, as long as all the electronic tags of a certain car can be deciphered, it can be copied.”
The joy that Ruoli had just felt disappeared in an instant.
She sighed and said, “It seems that these identical cars are using identical ETC labels.”
“In this way, every car cannot be cleared of suspicion.”
The technician said solemnly, “Second Miss, the number of identical cars is still increasing.”
“There are at least 30 of them now.”
Ruoli, unable to come up with a plan, quickly sent the information about the situation to Charlie.
When Charlie saw the surveillance footage, he was equally stunned.
He hadn’t expected Leon to go to such lengths to relocate Claire and her parents.
It seemed he truly didn’t want him to find Claire!
