Chapter 546: The Truth Is Revealed

The mediation room fell into a quiet lull, the only sound remaining was that of breathing.
After a while, the police smacked his lips and said, “Strange, I distinctly remember that this area has surveillance cameras! How could they be gone? Could they be broken?”
At these words, everyone reacted differently.
Mei Shu’s ears perked up, catching the sound of Chen Guo’s relieved sigh.
The tattooed boy hurriedly approached the computer, “How could there be no surveillance? Can the cameras in other areas confirm whether she and my sister entered the same alley?”
“Don’t be hasty, let me check again,” the police gestured for him to calm down, then retrieved footage from nearby cameras, narrowing down the timeframe according to the girl’s account. After a while, he said, “No, these cameras didn’t capture that area.”
“Doesn’t that mean there’s no evidence?” The tattooed boy couldn’t contain his anger, grabbing Chen Guo by the collar, “Did you plan this in advance? You knew there was no surveillance there, so you chose to rob my sister there!”
“Don’t make baseless accusations! 1 really didn’t do it, 1 don’t know why your sister suddenly accused me. I haven’t offended her. It’s not me, she must have mistaken me for someone else!” Chen Guo explained pitifully, trying to dodge away.
But how could she match a man’s strength?
With a little force, the tattooed boy pushed her, causing her to stumble and hit the wall, tears streaming down from the pain.
“You’ve wronged me. Do you still want to hit me in front of the police?”
“You!” The tattooed man gritted his teeth in anger.
It was clear that if it weren’t for the police’s presence, he would have given her a few slaps.
Chen Guo clutched Mei Jing’s wrist in desperation, pleading, “Ajing, I’m so scared. I really didn’t do anything, but they’re accusing me without evidence. They’re trying to extort me!”
“Whether you did it or not, you know it best in your heart!” The tattooed boy said fiercely before retreating to his sister’s side, his chest heaving with rage.
The girl hurriedly patted his chest to calm him down, “Brother, let it go. Fortunately, your birthday is still a few days away, and I still have time to save money again.”
“We can’t just let it go!”
The tattooed boy glared at her angrily, forgetting to control his intimidating expression.
That money was hard-earned by his sister through her part-time work. How could he let that lying woman take advantage of it?
But even though he said that, now that even the police had no way, what else could he do? He couldn’t really beat up Chen Guo. He might end up paying a hefty price!
Chen Guo, knowing that they couldn’t do anything to her now, became even more brazen in her pretense of innocence.
Mei Shu quietly watched for a while. Just when everyone hated Chen Guo but was helpless, she suddenly spoke up, “Actually, there is evidence that can prove it.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze turned towards her.
Even the police asked curiously, “What can you do?”
Mei Shu lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the computer, “May I borrow it for a moment?”
The police stood up, somewhat incredulous, and stepped aside from the computer.
Mei Shu sat down, her hands swiftly tapping on the keyboard for a while, then clicking the mouse twice.
Mei Jing leaned over curiously, “Sis, what are you doing?”
Yeyan also looked interested.
Mei Shu said, “I’m trying to repair the surveillance footage.”
“You can fix surveillance footage?” The police officer was completely shocked this time. He looked Mei Shu up and down, finding it hard to believe she was a professional technician.
Aren’t most people who study computer technology middle-aged men with thinning hair?
Mei Shu humbly said, “Just a little bit. Fixing a surveillance camera is no problem, but it depends on whether it’s external damage or internal damage. If it’s external, you’ll have to take the camera back for repairs. If you want to find out the truth, it’s necessary to make this trip yourself.”
The police pledged confidently, “Of course. Since I’m wearing this police uniform, I will do my best to uncover the truth.”
The size of this police station wasn’t large, and there probably weren’t any real technical talents. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be at a loss for a damaged surveillance system.
Soon, there was a light ding from the computer. Several people stretched their necks to look at the screen, and indeed, the previously dark screen suddenly showed clear footage.
Mei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, “It seems I’m lucky. The surveillance footage was just slightly damaged. It’s not a big problem. I’ve fixed it, and now we can see the footage from the corresponding time.”
Having said that, she stepped aside, leaving the rest to the police to operate personally.
After Mei Shu’s repairs, the footage from last night’s alley did indeed show the figures of both Chen Guo and the girl.
The tattooed boy stared at the screen intently, witnessing his sister being pushed down and her wallet snatched away, his anger boiling over, wishing he could teach Chen Guo a lesson right then and there..
