The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 195 Body Language
"Oh, the so-called God rewards hard work, but it has become a fatal problem for Chen Hao." Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but sigh, her eyes following the tip of the pen to read every business word by word, taking notes from time to time.

"Fortunately, the diamonds we found are pink diamonds, which are rarer than ordinary diamonds. I have learned that the main production area was in Australia a few years ago, but the mine in Australia has been closed in recent years. More than 90% of the newly produced pink diamonds in recent years are from Angola." Qi Fei looked at it with his head down and said.

"Angola? Where?"

"Africa, you are geography illiterate."

"Oh, so the key is to focus on the passengers flying to Africa."

"Female passenger," Qi Fei corrected. "Didn't Captain Liu say that cosmetics should be checked primarily on women? Wouldn't it be very noticeable for men to carry cosmetics through customs?"

"That makes sense..."

The office returned to silence as my colleagues left work one after another.

Only Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu continued to study like good students.

"Ah, I've been looking for a long time but there's no one flying to Angola..." Wu Shanqiu's words revealed a bit of despair.

"I can tell you didn't do your homework properly. Nancheng Airport doesn't have any flights to Angola." Qi Fei said without raising his head.

"Huh? Then what are we looking for now?" Wu Shanqiu threw the business form and said dejectedly.

"If I were a criminal smuggling diamonds, would I choose to go directly to this place? What are you thinking?" Qi Fei said as he handed his cheat sheet to Wu Shanqiu.

There were only people's names and several African countries marked on it: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, and Namibia.

"I brushed up on my geography. These countries all border Angola. If someone wants to enter Angola to buy diamonds, they can fly to a neighboring country first."

"Speaking of which..." Wu Shanqiu looked at it, then flipped back through the business forms she had read before, quickly finding a name and marking it with a red pen. "Brother Fei, I also see someone named Su Jing here. She started booking tickets through Chen Hao three months ago. Including the ones you found here, she's already made ten trips to and from Africa in just that short period of time!"

"And the destinations are all around Angola." Qi Fei said, taking out Chen Hao's phone and searching through the contact records of the two people according to the phone number left on the business order. "It's very strange. Look, most of Chen Hao's other regular customers have added him on WeChat and have daily chat records. Only Su Jing always contacts him by phone."

"I don't want to leave any text messages, unless I don't want a third person to know the content of the conversation."

"It seems that we have to check the airport surveillance again. Let's see the movements of the two people at the airport on the dates when Su Jing returned and returned." Qi Fei said with a sharp look in his eyes.

In the silent footage, Chen Hao, dressed in a cheap suit, clutched his briefcase in his left hand, his ticketing company badge draped across his chest. He hurried through the crowd in the check-in hall, occasionally glancing back. Judging from the current situation, this behavior was definitely suspicious.

But there are just too many people at the airport. Everyone is in a hurry and has different expressions. In the crowd, any slight abnormality will be drowned out and no one will care.

He walked to Gate No. 1 for domestic arrivals and waited anxiously. After a while, a slightly plump woman wearing a fisherman's hat came towards him pushing a suitcase. Comparing her with the photo in the household registration information, this person was Su Jing.

The atmosphere was overly serious. There were no enthusiastic waving or pleasantries. Chen Hao simply took her suitcase silently, and the two of them walked side by side towards Area F.

After a while, they arrived at the corner that Qi Fei was familiar with. Further ahead was the mother and baby room that was in the blind spot of the surveillance.

It seemed that Su Jing wanted to go to the bathroom, so Chen Hao stayed where he was waiting for her.

However, an action of the two at this time confirmed their suspicion.

"Do you need to push your suitcase into the bathroom? Isn't Chen Hao waiting outside?" Wu Shanqiu said immediately.

In the surveillance video, Su Jing took the suitcase from Chen Hao, turned around and walked into the blind spot of the surveillance.

"Let's review this part again?" Zhong Kui's voice came.

After listening to it, Wu Shanqiu dragged the progress bar and started playing again.

Zhong Kui watched the surveillance video intently, and finally said, "Interesting, look carefully at their actions, it was Chen Hao who took the initiative to hand the suitcase to Su Jing, Su Jing did not take it.

If Su Jing was going to the restroom, as a ticketing manager known for his attentive service, he wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to hand the suitcase to Su Jing at this time and cause her more trouble, right?

"Haha, unless the two of them had agreed on it early on." Qi Fei thought immediately.

"Hmm, did you notice how Su Jing's wrist turned when she took the box? It was clearly unnatural and turned inward. This is defensive body language, indicating that she feels extremely insecure about handing over the box. It's just going to the bathroom, why are you so nervous?" Zhong Kui's bright red lips curled up slightly, and her ethereal eyes reflected the two figures in the picture. "Of course, Chen Hao was also nervous. In fact, he knew there was no one behind him, but this mechanical reaction of constantly looking back also shows that he is in a state of high tension at the moment."

In the flickering light of the surveillance screen, Su Jing's figure reappeared from the corner of the mother and baby room.

She held the suitcase handle with one hand and pulled the brim of her fisherman's hat even lower.

"The location of the suitcase's zipper." Qi Fei grabbed the mouse and pressed pause, pointing the cursor at the inconspicuous white dot on the suitcase in the picture. "The zipper was locked on the side before, but now it's on the top. It seems that she opened the suitcase after entering the maternity room."

Zhong Kui's fingertips hovered over Su Jing's shoulders and neck in the surveillance footage. "Your shoulders have clearly relaxed. It looks like you've successfully completed the task. Is going to the bathroom so stressful?"

Then she pointed at Su Jing's profile. The woman's jawline and mouth were clearly visible beneath the brim of her hat. "Look at this unilateral contraction of the zygomatic major muscle. It's a typical stress-relieving micro-expression."

As the surveillance footage continued, Chen Hao and Su Jing walked in opposite directions in Area F without even saying goodbye.

"Huh? I see that Chen Hao treats other customers by sending them to the place where they get on the car, but he lets Su Jing go by herself?" Wu Shanqiu couldn't help but say. It seems that she has been studying Chen Hao's movements at the airport a lot during this period.

"Hmph, it seems there's something more precious than a distinguished customer here to protect." Zhong Kui said with a half-smile, "Chen Hao really isn't one to pretend. All his body language shows that he's panicking..."
