Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Crucial Evidence
He won’t say, and without the detailed incident, its truth remains unknown.
Mrs. Fang doesn’t believe her son did it intentionally, as he’s only seven years old, not even eight yet.
Perhaps, the two little kids were roughhousing in the swimming pool, and accidentally pushed Han down…
Or maybe the children wanted to play in the water, and seeing Han stumble and fall into the pool, Fang Heng was so scared that he ran back, and nobody made a sound.
In any case, she firmly believes her seven-year-old son wouldn’t harbor evil intentions and commit such an atrocious act as purposely pushing someone into the water.
Thus, Mrs. Fang naturally helped cover it up.
Throughout the night, staying up till dawn, Mrs. Fang finally drifted off into a troubled sleep.
…
The next day, Lin Qi felt out of sorts, but seeing that Han was stable and had a nanny looking after him, she went to work as usual.
Being a newcomer at work, taking a leave after just a few days might endanger her job.
When Huo Tingdong saw her leaving for work, he asked, “You didn’t rest well last night; do you still want to go to work today?”
Lin Qi replied, “I have no choice, maybe this is what being a corporate slave is about.” She wanted to stay with Han, but when she got up, Han, in a hazy sleep, clutched her tightly, refusing to let go. She replaced herself with a large stuffed toy in his embrace. He mistook the toy for her, loosened his grip on her, and tightly hugged the toy, allowing her to “escape.”
“When Han wakes up and misses me, he can call me,” Lin Qi informed the nanny.
Seeing her heading out, Huo Tingdong said, “I’ll take you.”
Lin Qi replied, “No need, I’ll take the subway.”
“Thank you for yesterday,” Tingdong said, noticing her peculiar walking due to her ankle injury.
Tingdong knew that Han’s life was saved by her; what is his debt to her if not more than just a ‘thank you’?
Lin Qi said, “No need to thank me. If it were any child, I would have jumped into the water to save them, let alone Han.”
After speaking, she said to Tingdong, “I’m running late today; could you drop Momo off?”
“Sure.”
Lin Qi went to work.
Momo went to school as usual.
However, what he found odd was that Fang Heng was also absent from school, having taken leave to stay at home.
Why did he take leave?
Momo was suspicious.
After all, Fang Heng had pushed him into a storeroom and locked him up before Han’s incident. He naturally suspected Fang Heng’s involvement in Han’s case. Could it be that he felt guilty and dared not attend school?
The classroom atmosphere was a bit strange.
The news of Han’s drowning had spread among the parents, and students in the class had come to know of the incident, becoming very cautious.
The swimming pool was also locked, and all swimming classes were suspended.
Nonetheless, with Fang Heng absent, no one bothered Momo.
The day went smoothly, but naturally, Momo needed to find an opportunity to clear everything up.
After lunch, students took naps in the classroom.
However, Momo wasn’t in the mood to sleep. Using the excuse of going to the restroom, he left the classroom.
He didn’t go to the restroom, but instead, he went to the school’s computer lab.
The door to the computer lab was locked, but a window was not. Climbing through it, Momo entered the lab, turned on the power, started the computer, connected to the internet, and expertly typed commands to hack into Windsor High School’s surveillance system.
Through accessing the surveillance system, Momo swiftly noticed several signs of erased footage.
He realized with alarm that someone had deleted parts of the surveillance video.
“Just as I suspected,” Momo muttered to himself, then used his skills to restore the deleted footage.
In any case, evidence is crucial.
After restoration, he accessed several surveillance clips. After watching them, Momo realized the incident was indeed complex, and thus, he edited the footage into an email and sent it to Huo Tingdong’s IP terminal.
In the afternoon.
Tingdong had just turned on his computer and saw an email from an unknown IP sending several GBs of video.
Initially, he thought it was some kind of Trojan virus, as since being hacked by Momo several times, he felt all security systems were pointless before this genius little hacker.
However, the title caught his attention.
—”The Truth Behind Han’s Drowning.”
Tingdong immediately tensed up.
He clicked to view the email.
The videos were crucial.
One clip showed Fang Heng running down the janitor’s corridor into the swim hall, and twenty seconds later, Han also ran in.
Another clip from inside the swimming pool showed an empty scene, but the screen was marked with a red circle. Tingdong noted, in a blind spot of surveillance, the half figure of Fang Heng was visible, evidently pushing something. Immediately after, there seemed to be a splash from a heavy object falling into the water. He retreated from the splash, watched the pool for a few seconds, then turned and ran out of the swim hall.
But Han never appeared on the video again.
The next three minutes showed Lin Qi and Momo arriving at the main entrance of the swimming hall. He saw her breaking through the door and rushing in.
What followed was the chaotic scene where Han was found.
Fang Heng…
Tingdong remembered he was Mrs. Fang’s youngest son.
After Mrs. Fang married into the Fang Family, she bore them two daughters. Then, due to health reasons, she rested for ten years and, despite the hardships of advanced age pregnancy and two miscarriages, she managed to have this son while restricted to bed for pregnancy care. She finally had a middle-aged child.
Therefore, the entire Fang Family practically revered him like a precious ancestor, spoiling him from a young age.
Could it have been Fang Heng who pushed Han into the water?
Why hadn’t Mo Ke noticed this video?
And who had sent this video?
He had too many questions.
As Tingdong finished watching the video, there was a knock on the study’s door. The nanny announced, “Mr. Huo, Han has woken up and is asking for Miss Lin.”
Tingdong stood up and went into the room. Seeing Han awake, leaning against the headboard, his eyes reddened clearly from crying, he sat beside the bed, “Han, why are you crying?”
Han asked, “Where is Aunt Qiqi?”
Tingdong replied, “Aunt Qiqi was with you all last night; do you remember?”
Han nodded blankly.
Tingdong continued, “She went to work. When she finishes work, you’ll see her, okay?”
But Han seemed a bit down, perhaps because he woke up and didn’t see Lin Qi, feeling a void in his heart.
Tingdong said, “Didn’t you want Aunt Qiqi to join the garden party? I bought her a pretty dress; do you want to see it?”
Han’s eyes suddenly lit up.
A pretty dress?
He wanted to see Aunt Qiqi wearing a pretty dress!
Han was already imagining how beautiful Lin Qi would look in the dress.
What do you think?
