Reborn a day later, I emptied my enemy's possessions beforehand.

If Zhou Haibing only entered and exited the residential area once, and there was no sign of anything being loaded in the car, then the person who emptied the villa might not be Zhou Haibing.

If it's not Zhou Haibing, then who could it be?

Who would move all their belongings out of their house, leaving not even a single grain of rice behind?

Who could be so capable as to move everything out of the entire villa without anyone noticing?

Wang Jinshan suddenly turned his head, his voice urgent as if he wanted to bite someone:

"Come to my house! Come to my neighborhood and check the security camera footage!"

Captain Fang nodded, and the group came out of the monitoring room, got into the police car, and drove towards Wang Jinshan's residential area.

When they arrived at the entrance of Wang Jinshan's residential compound, the security guard's expression changed when he saw the police car, and he hurriedly came to greet them.

Wang Jinshan leaned out of the car window, his face resembling a pig's head, and roared:

"Open the door, the police need to go in and check the surveillance footage!" The security guard let them through without saying a word.

The group went directly to the monitoring room.

Captain Fang had the technician retrieve the surveillance footage from yesterday morning.

The footage fast-forwarded, the timecode jumping all the way to 10:37—

Zhou Haibing's black Mercedes appeared at the entrance of the residential area.

Just like before, there was one person and one car. The car window was half open. He leaned out and said something to the security guard before the car drove in.

At 10:53, the same car drove out of the community exit.

After that, it never appeared again.

The electronic records of vehicle entry and exit in the community have also been retrieved.

Zhou Haibing's license plate number appeared only twice—once when he entered and once when he left.

There were no trucks, no other vehicles, nothing at all.

The air in the monitoring room felt like it had been sucked out, and the expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly grim.

Wang Jinshan stared at the screen, repeatedly muttering the same phrase: "This is impossible...this is impossible..."

His voice grew softer and softer until it became a silent mouth movement, his swollen lips opening and closing as if he were chanting some kind of spell.

Zhao Shuzhen's lips were trembling, and her voice was shrill and piercing:

"Has the surveillance footage been tampered with? Has someone deleted the footage?"

The technician shook his head and pointed to the timestamps on the screen, saying:

"The timecode is continuous, with no trace of editing. Every frame matches perfectly."

Captain Fang stood beside the control panel, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He quickly went through all the information in his mind—

Zhou Haibing's car only entered and exited each of the two residential areas once, and each time the car stayed for no more than forty minutes.

What can a person do in less than forty minutes?

They can talk to people and have a cup of tea, but they could never move an entire villa of several hundred square meters.

Moreover, his car couldn't hold that much stuff, and there was no record of large trucks entering or leaving the neighborhood.

All the physical evidence points to the same conclusion:

Zhou Haibing could not possibly be the one who emptied the villa.

But if it wasn't him, who else could it be?

Captain Fang racked his brains but couldn't come up with an answer.

Sun Guiying racked her brains but couldn't come up with an answer.

Wang Jinshan and Zhao Shuzhen couldn't come up with an answer either.

They would never have imagined that Zhou Haibing had something called Shennong Space.

On a thousand acres of land, time can stand still, and a thought can move all things.

One person, one car, nothing else is needed. Just stand there, and with a single thought, everything in the entire villa will magically disappear into another dimension.

The surveillance cameras couldn't capture it because those items were never loaded onto any truck.

The neighbors couldn't hear anything because there was no moving, loading or unloading, and no physical movement whatsoever.

Everything is silent, invisible, and unseen.

In this way, Zhou Haibing, alone with a car, emptied his own house and Wang Jinshan's house in less than an hour.

Everyone tries to deduce this matter using logic within their own cognitive framework, so they will never get the answer.

The monitoring room was so quiet that you could hear the hum of the air conditioner's outdoor unit.

Everyone stood still; no one moved, and no one spoke.

Captain Fang's fingers tapped unconsciously on the notebook. Sun Guiying stood against the wall, her bare feet on the cold floor tiles, her eyes fixed on the frozen image on the screen, motionless.

Zhao Shuzhen suddenly spoke up.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet monitoring room:

"By the way, all three of our phones are missing. This can't be a coincidence, right? Could Zhou Haibing have taken them?"

Wang Jinshan frowned, his voice muffled:

"What did he do with our phones? How much are phones worth? Any one of the things he took is more expensive than phones."

Zhao Shuzhen's voice was tense, each word uttered clearly: "I didn't say he took the phone to sell for money."

I mean—he took our phones, could it be... could it be that he transferred money from our bank accounts?

Nowadays, there are banking apps on mobile phones, making mobile transfers very easy.

The air in the monitoring room seemed to tighten suddenly, as if something had drawn it in.

Wang Jinshan's expression changed.

He abruptly turned to look at Sun Guiying, his eyes holding something he had never shown to her before—

It wasn't anger, nor doubt, but a more primal, instinctive alertness.

Sun Guiying's expression also changed; the red marks on her cheeks, which were swollen like steamed buns, seemed to have deepened.

Sun Guiying thought for a moment, then shook her head. She spoke slowly, as if she were thinking as she spoke, pausing between each word:

"He couldn't possibly know our phone passwords, let alone our payment passwords. Without the passwords, how could he transfer money?"

As Wang Jinshan listened, his tense shoulders relaxed a little.

Zhao Shuzhen bit her lip and didn't say anything more, but her brows were still furrowed and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

That feeling of unease was like a thorn stuck in her chest, impossible to pull out.

Captain Fang closed his notebook and cleared his throat.

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear:

"Okay, let's go to the police station first and ask the colleagues in the Economic Crime Investigation Division to check your bank accounts and see if there are any unusual fund transfers."

The group left the monitoring room and got into a police car.

No one spoke the rest of the way.

The streets, pedestrians, and vehicles outside the car window rushed past, but Sun Guiying saw nothing.

She sat in the back seat, her hands clenched together, her knuckles white.

Upon arriving at the police station, Captain Fang led them through the corridor to the third floor and opened the door to the Economic Crime Investigation Team's office.

Several uniformed police officers were sitting in the office. When they saw Captain Fang come in, one of them stood up and greeted him.

Captain Fang briefly explained the situation and asked the other party to help check the recent two days' fund changes in all bank accounts under the names of Sun Guiying, Wang Jinshan, and Zhao Shuzhen.
