On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 154 Surveillance Content!

Chen Mo had already prepared his answer to the police's questions.

"He rang the doorbell, saying he was my friend's uncle, coming to deliver something. But when I opened the door, he suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed me. Luckily, I was wearing cut-resistant work gloves while I was working, so I managed to disarm him and subdue him." Chen Mo succinctly described the key events, pointing to the work gloves he had just taken off and placed aside.

"Your friend? Where is he?" the police officer pressed.

“She’s at school for evening self-study, she’s not home,” Chen Mo replied.

At this moment, the young policeman who had subdued Li Tie searched Li Tie and found his wallet on him, from which he discovered Li Tie's ID card.

The older policeman looked at him and compared his face to Li Tie's pained expression, and basically confirmed his identity.

"Okay, we have a preliminary understanding of the situation. Li Tie, you are suspected of breaking into a house with a knife and committing assault. You are now being arrested in accordance with the law!" After the older police officer announced this to Li Tie, he signaled to his colleague to handcuff him.

Just as the police were about to take Li Tie away, the older officer seemed to remember something, glanced around the living room, and his gaze fell on the security camera in the corner: "You have security cameras in your house?"

"Yes, it was installed for safety." Chen Mo nodded in agreement.

“Okay, then we need to make a copy of tonight’s surveillance footage as evidence,” the police officer said matter-of-factly, as it was standard procedure.

Chen Mo already had a plan in mind.

He looked embarrassed and explained sincerely, "Officer, this surveillance camera is mainly used for home security, but it also captures a lot of my and my roommate's daily life, which involves a lot of personal privacy."

How about this? I'll immediately cut out the relevant footage from when this person appeared tonight until you appeared, delete all irrelevant or private parts, and only keep the crucial middle part: him knocking on the door, entering, committing the crime, and me subduing him. I'll ensure it's clear and complete.

Then I should immediately copy this edited video file to you? Or should I upload it directly to your designated cloud drive? This way, we can ensure the validity of the evidence while also protecting our privacy.

If needed, I can sign a guarantee ensuring that the submitted videos are the original key clips and have not been tampered with.

Chen Mo's reasons were reasonable, and his attitude was cooperative.

After some consideration, the older police officer concluded that the situation at the scene was now basically clear, the suspect had been apprehended, and the surveillance footage was only supplementary evidence; it wasn't necessary to obtain all the original data on the spot.

He nodded: "Okay, let's do it your way. I'll leave you an email address. Submit the edited key video clips to our police station as soon as possible. Remember, they must be the original clips, and you can't make any modifications that would affect their authenticity! We will verify them."

"Understood, I guarantee there won't be any problems. Thank you for your understanding, officer." Chen Mo smiled and gave a salute.

"Wow, your salute is pretty standard." The older policeman said with some surprise when he saw Chen Mo give an extremely standard salute.

At the same time, he instantly recalled Chen Mo's performance just now.

Although this young man is not old, he was able to subdue an armed assailant on his own. The information he submitted when calling the police was also concise and clear. He was also able to explain the problems with the video editing so clearly. He is so experienced that it is a bit too much.

He glanced at Chen Mo with surprise, but didn't think much of it.

A crowd of onlookers had already gathered, all eager to find out what had happened.

As more and more people gathered around, the police immediately covered Li Tie's face, quickly escorted the still groaning and complaining Li Tie into the police car, and drove away.

The noise outside the door gradually faded away with the sound of police sirens.

Chen Mo closed the door, leaning against the cold door panel. The room instantly returned to silence, with only his own slightly heavy breathing remaining.

As my tense nerves relaxed slightly, a wave of fatigue and the emotions I had been forcibly suppressing surged up.

Coupled with his illness, he felt extremely tired at that moment.

However, he still had things to do. Back in his room, Chen Mo turned on his computer and started reviewing the surveillance footage.

The surveillance footage shows that as soon as he learned that Li Tie had arrived, he immediately went to find gloves and put them on.

He obviously wouldn't let the police see this, otherwise there would be unnecessary explanations.

He cut out both the preceding and following footage.

They only cut the part where he was wearing gloves and went to open the door.

From this point onward, until Li Tie entered and was subdued, Chen Mo edited out the entire content himself.

After all, any editing techniques used in this process can be easily detected by the police.

No use.

When he was a criminal investigator, he watched the video frame by frame and discovered the flaws in the splicing and editing of the video.

It's impossible to fool the police by editing.

After Chen Mo finished cutting, he looked at it carefully again.

The main purpose is to determine the extent of one's actions, and if the police discover one's skills and ask questions, whether and how to explain them.

He needs to think everything through.

After all, he was a victim. No matter how capable he was in combat, the police did not have the right to interrogate him about information unrelated to the case.

Chen Mo can answer if he wants, or not answer if he doesn't want to.

However, not answering the question might attract extra attention from the police, which is unnecessary.

If we can get away with it, that would be the best outcome.

After editing the video and sending it to the email address left by the police, Chen Mo went to the sofa, lay down on it, and was too tired to move at all.

After all, he was currently ill. He hadn't felt anything during his adrenaline rush, but now that he was calming down, he felt increasingly tired, and his eyelids were getting heavy...

Inside the police station, the officers who received the video email from Chen Mo opened the attachment and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, come and see! This kid is incredibly skilled!"

The police officers who brought Li Tie back to the station were interrogating him about what had just happened.

However, Li Tie remained stubborn and refused to reveal anything.

Just as they were getting into trouble with this, news came from the evidence room that Chen Mo had sent over the video.

The older policeman who had spoken with Chen Mo earlier immediately rushed to the evidence room.

As soon as he entered, he saw several people gathered around a computer in the evidence room, discussing and debating something.

"What are you doing?"

"Old Liu, come over here quickly. It's the house you just called. That kid sent over the surveillance footage. Wow, anyone who didn't know better would think they were filming an action movie."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xin immediately walked over curiously and looked at the screen.
