270: The other party's actions

If the observer is too close, when the screen jumps, they need time to react and crane their necks to adjust their line of sight to the monitor.

However, from a distance, they can adjust their view faster and keep up with the other party's movements, since moving one's eyes is much easier than turning one's neck.

But for everyone else, being too far away means they cannot see clearly.

Two minutes passed, and finally, someone made a move.

The person who moved was the one sitting in the chair reading the newspaper.

The reason he observed for so long must have been to determine whether anyone was hiding in the shadows.

After more than ten minutes of observation, he must have confirmed the situation, so he acted very boldly.

Looking at the corner of the person's mouth in the video, everyone could sense his smugness even through the screen.

Perhaps he thought they were holding back due to fear of collateral damage, and thus dared not send anyone to lie in wait or ambush by the door.

Xu Bai did not set up an ambush there; firstly, to make the other party relax their guard, and secondly, because he felt it was unnecessary.

No one was watching physically, but the surveillance cameras were recording.

Thankfully, he had developed the surveillance system, and thankfully, the other party only acted today.

If it had been two days earlier, he might have been powerless.

Xu Bai felt a little fortunate about this.

Although many people present were itching with hatred for the person on the surveillance screen, they could do nothing now but stare intently at the monitoring footage on the television...

They watched as the person constantly moved beside the trees, using them to conceal his figure, then gradually approached the main gate. Immediately after, in the split second the guard looked away, he stepped forward, placed the letter into the mailbox of the Thunderbolt Company, and immediately returned the way he came after delivering the letter.

The entire process took less than one minute; he finished his task, and even if there had been a guard, he would not have been noticed at all.

Seeing the man use the trees for cover, Li Lan thought to himself: Later, he must have people cut down these trees and create a flat, open space in the middle, so that future malicious visitors would have nowhere to hide.

After delivering the letter, the man walked down one street and then turned into a small alleyway.

They had not installed surveillance inside the alleyway, but fortunately, there was a very tall street lamp beside it. They installed a camera on this street lamp, capable of recording everything below it.

This street lamp was extremely tall, about four stories high, while the houses in this alleyway were only one or two stories tall.

Logically, this was a very unreasonable design, but the street lamp was extremely bright, so even though it was built high, it could illuminate the alley below, and its range of illumination was also very wide.

With this street lamp, the probability of incidents in the alley dropped significantly, and everyone felt safer going home, so the residents of the alley liked it very much.

When they climbed up in the afternoon, they were initially driven away. They only managed to climb up and install the surveillance camera using the excuse of performing maintenance.

There were quite a few people in the alley. Xu Bai watched the figure in the surveillance constantly moving, then skillfully blending into the stream of people heading home from work. Within two seconds, the figure was lost.

Xu Bai could not find his figure and felt a little anxious.

However, seeing no change in Qi Weiqi's expression, he calmed down again.

Judging by its appearance, it had not lost track.

Ji Tao's parents and the Li Family siblings next to them had also lost track, and could only turn their heads to look at the surveillance footage of the other person...

The person delivering the letter had strong anti-surveillance capabilities, circling around on the road for a long time and changing clothes seven or eight times. It could be said he was very cautious.

However, Qi Weiqi's eyesight was extraordinary. It had not lost track and kept following the figure until it reached a certain location.

Although it looked like the person had reached its destination, it did not relax, watching that location while simultaneously paying attention to the other person.

The reason it was standing far away from the television was so that all the surveillance footage could appear in its field of vision at the same time. This allowed it to promptly switch the observation screen based on the person's movements so as not to lose sight of the figure, while simultaneously multi-tasking to monitor the whereabouts of both letter carriers.

This method was not something everyone could manage, as some people's eyesight couldn't keep up, and others' minds couldn't keep up.

From this, Qi Weiqi's professionalism was evident.

Qi Weiqi was not the only one paying attention to this information. Others watching the surveillance footage sketched out the route the person took based on his movements, and simultaneously circled the locations where he changed clothes.

Others nearby recorded the circled locations and simultaneously checked who owned them. After all, if the person felt safe changing clothes there, it meant the location was trustworthy to them, or they had people inside.

Later, once they captured the person, all these locations would be investigated in greater detail, one by one...

On the other side, the person delivering the letter to the Ji Family did not act himself, but instead found a child.

It was probably because the front of the Ji Family residence was quite tall, and he was worried someone might be observing from above, so he did not dare deliver the letter personally.

After the child delivered the letter, the man did not disappear but remained observing from a distance.

Only when someone from the Ji Family came out, retrieved the letter, and then took out a communicator to make contact did he leave the area.

Although the two people sent to deliver the letters used different methods, they shared one thing in common: caution.

This person also did not return directly; instead, like the previous person, he circled around the city, changing clothes several times to avoid being tracked.

This side also simultaneously recorded the locations where the person changed clothes.

At the same time, Mr. Ji's communicator received a message from the butler, who also sent him the contents of the letter.

However, after Mr. Ji glanced at it and confirmed it was a kidnapping and ransom demand, he put it aside for the moment.

Previously, they definitely would have focused on reading the contents of the letter and following the opponent's steps one by one.

But now that they were able to locate the enemy's lair, what was written in the letter was no longer important and could be read later...

Qi Weiqi was now performing three tasks simultaneously. It was observing two surveillance screens—one currently showing a building, and the other constantly jumping between camera views as it followed the person's movements—while also drawing circles and markings on a city map with its hand.

Time passed slowly.

Finally, when the other person also walked into the same building the first person had entered, Qi Weiqi confirmed that it was the enemy's lair. It reported this to Mr. Number Three.

"Mr. Number Three, both individuals are gathered inside the 16th house on the second row in the upper left corner of Monitor 42. Currently, no one has come out."

"Alright, everyone keep watching. I will immediately send people to observe the vicinity. Continue to report any unusual movements to me."

After Mr. Number Three finished giving instructions, he immediately pulled out his communicator and relayed the orders.
