I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 47 Tampered Surveillance
"Are you sure this surveillance won't go wrong?"

Yu Yu suddenly asked quietly.

"Absolutely not."

Tian Ming's eyes moved strangely.

He sped up the time display to 1 a.m. at ten times the speed, and then played it at double the speed.

"Gudong..."

Xinxin's mother glanced at Yu Yu, swallowed, stared at the TV, and leaned forward.

He barely concealed his appetite.

In the living room, several pairs of eyes were fixed on the screen.

"crunch..."

At 1:58 in the morning, the curtains in front of the window in the hall that was blown open by the wind kept fluttering in the strong wind.

But a slight creaking sound was so harsh.

In the picture, Lin Xing'an carefully pushed open the door.

but……

Xinxin's mother and Luo Siyuan's expressions changed.

Tian Ming's brows were furrowed again.

Lin Xing'an pushed open the bedroom door.

In the surveillance footage, he did not come back from outside.

Instead, he walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes and went into the bathroom yawning.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Yu walked out of the bedroom with disheveled hair and hugged Lin Xing'an, who had returned to the room.

Then he carried Lin Xing'an back to the bedroom.

After a while she came out again, looked at Lin Xing'an's shoes, and opened the door to take another look.

Then he closed the window that was blown open by the wind, stayed in the bathroom for a minute, and then returned to the bedroom.

Boom boom boom!
Lin Xing'an's pupils contracted.

Last night's surveillance footage...

It was tampered with...

But what made his back shiver even more was Yu Yu's actions.

My clothes and shoes were wet.

Yu Yu had already discovered that I went out last night...

So she knows I'm lying now!

Lin Xing'an lowered his eyes.

The blood in my body seems to be flowing backwards...

but why……

Why didn't she expose me?

Why doesn't she eat me?
Once discovered by gluttonous ghosts, they will definitely eat them.

Even the copy ghost last night, in that situation, which required his [Wave] ability, only dared to keep Lin Xing'an for two hours.

Even if Gu Tianqi gave him away, he would still be half dead.

And now...

"Why……"

Lin Xing'an felt like his brain was about to explode...

"He should have arrived home by now, haha, I might have remembered the time wrong."

"Why don't we stop watching the surveillance in the living room and look at the surveillance in the bedroom."

Luo Siyuan's breathing became a little rapid, and he said with an awkward smile.

Tian Mingze silently checked the surveillance footage of the bedroom and bathroom.

At 1:57, Lin Xing'an was sleeping peacefully in bed, with Yu Yu beside him.

At 1:58, he turned over, tossed and turned for half a minute, sat up reluctantly, and opened the door in a daze.

At 1:59, he urinated normally in the toilet, flushed the toilet, and washed his hands.

"You saw An An around 1:40 in the morning, right?"

Yu Yu took the remote control and continued to jump forward while talking.

At half past twelve in the morning, Lin Xing'an was lying in bed.

At twelve forty, Lin Xing'an lay in bed.

At one o'clock, Lin Xing'an was lying on the bed.

At half past one, Lin Xing'an was still lying in bed.

The whole night was normal.

It was so normal that Lin Xing'an even felt dazed...

His mind went back to the phone call in the garage.

Go home and don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid...

Lin Xing'an raised his head.

"What's wrong, baby?"

Yu Yu smiled and turned his head.

"..."

Lin Xing'an lowered his eyes, "Nothing, Mom."

he said softly.

My mind is a mess!
"This is impossible! There's definitely something wrong!"

Seeing the footage from the surveillance camera, Luo Siyuan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Last night, you were soaking wet at the station. You said your name was Xu Zhipeng and you were lost from your parents. You asked me to help you find them, right?"

"Tell the truth!"

He looked at Lin Xing'an in panic.

Lin Xing'an just turned his head and blinked, "I was sleeping at home last night." "You..."

Luo Siyuan's face turned pale and he pointed at Lin Xing'an, unable to utter a word.

"Kakaka!"

Xinxin's mother was also biting her nails anxiously.

He glanced at Yu Yu frequently.

"This... I get it. He might have put an inflatable doll that looks similar to himself on the bed when he left."

"After all, he was able to go to the train station at midnight by himself when he was six years old. Surely... he can do this, right?"

Luo Siyuan pointed at the TV and spoke haltingly.

Yu Yuzhe zoomed in on the surveillance camera and locked it on Lin Xing'an's face without saying a word.

You can clearly see Lin Xing'an's eyelashes trembling every time he breathes.

Occasionally he kicks the quilt dishonestly.

"...Yu Mei, this surveillance..."

"Captain Tian said there's absolutely no problem with surveillance."

Yu Yu said softly.

"...I know there's no problem with surveillance, but the surveillance authority is in your hands after all, and yesterday we did..."

"You mean we're faking surveillance?"

Lin Yunchen, who had been silent all this time, sneered.

"Are you trying to say that as the deputy director of the neurosurgery department at the Central Hospital, I would actively falsify surveillance footage?"

Lin Yunchen suddenly threw the remote control in his hand to the ground.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."

Xinxin’s mother quickly picked up the remote control.

"Even if we really wanted to, faking a video is not easy. Isn't faking a surveillance video a bit too difficult?"

"Besides, you came so early in the morning. Unless you predicted it last night, how would you have the time?"

"Even Taoyuan seven years ago couldn't do this?"

Yu Yu said softly.

Lin Xing'an also silently savored her words.

Utopia...

Is the Taoyuan they are talking about a person?
What did this person do to cause the glutton to stop using all surveillance?

What is the connection between his name and Taoyuan Village?
Lin Xing'an looked at the fake surveillance footage in front of him.

Doubts came one after another in my mind.

How did this scene become what it is now?
He couldn't even imagine it.

It was as if there really was a stand-in for him, sleeping at home for him while he was having a passionate fight with Xu Can last night.

What Yu Yu said makes a lot of sense.

Even if the technology really exists, it seems impossible to forge it.

If it was surveillance footage from thirty days ago, it would be fine.

This is what happened in the early hours of last night.

It's only six or seven hours from now.

Moreover, it seems that only Yu Yu and Lin Yunchen have this monitoring authority.

That is to say, there was someone who wanted to get the video from them immediately after Lin Xing'an returned last night.

The video was altered through technology to hide all traces of Lin Xing'an going out, and then the original video was replaced.

There are still two surveillance angles in the living room, and even those in the bedroom and bathroom need to be changed.

Is this really something a human can accomplish?

Is this achievable with current technology?
Could it be some special ability?

Will anyone awaken this technological ability?
At least Lin Xing'an didn't see it on the form last night.

And even if he has the relevant ability, how can this person be 100% sure that Tian Ming will come to watch the surveillance this morning?

Is there really anyone who can...

……Um?

Thinking of this, Lin Xing'an's breathing suddenly stopped.

As if realizing something, his blood seemed to freeze...

Who would know that there was a surveillance camera at home?

Yu Yu.

Who has monitoring authority?

Yu Yu.

Who would have thought that someone would come to look at the surveillance footage this morning?

Yu Yu......

Because last night, after I came back, she saw my wet shoes and clothes.

She knew I was out.

She guessed someone was coming.

"Gudong..."

Lin Xing'an only felt his heart slowly sink to the bottom.

He adjusted his demeanor, raised his head, and found that Yu Yu had been looking at him since he had no idea.

There are faint dark circles under his eyes, as if he had stayed up all night last night.

But the corners of his mouth were still slightly curved, and his face showed a reassuring gentleness.

The sunlight penetrated her hair, making her look like the mythical Madonna angel.

She just looked at Lin Xing'an quietly without saying a word.

……

But...how is that possible?

Do you believe it?
