Chapter 917: Surveillance
The sight of the bullet pushed the entire group of subordinates into disbelief.
Yin Lei himself was shocked. He snapped his neck around, he stared at Xia Houshang.
The crowd outside the room was also sent into chaos.
“I see it. It’s a bullet produced by the Xia family?”
“That means Duke Xia was killed by an insider?!”
“The Xia family provides guns to the royal family as well. It could easily be one of their people as well.”
“But the Xia family is the sole provider of weaponry so there is no way the royal family would hurt the Duke!”
“…”
Everyone knew that the bullets produced by the Xia family were marked with three red lines.
The second the bullet revealed itself, Qiao Qing’s innocence had been proven.
Yin Lei looked at Xia Houshang, “How do you explain this?”
“What do you mean by that? You think by pulling that out, you can prove your innocence?!” Xia Houshang snickered.
“It is true that the bullet is produced by us. But she could’ve easily snuck into my home and stole a gun to kill my father. If she isn’t the killer, how would she know where to look for the bullet?!”
Everyone froze again. That was true. Qiao Qing didn’t check anywhere and went straight to where the bullet was lodged.
It was as if she already knew what she’d find.
Qiao Qing gave Xia Houshang a look that was almost sullen. This sadness, however, was towards her.
“I originally wanted to save your face. I also didn’t want to taint everyone’s ears. But it looks like you don’t need my grace.”
She turned to Lang Yin, “Get it out.”
Lang Yin, “Yes.”
The anxious feeling in Xia Houshang’s heart expanded. But she felt like she had no reason to worry.
She did everything perfectly. There was no way there was evidence against her.
Just as she thought this, Lang Yin took out a laptop.
Everyone exchanged glances. None of them knew what to expect next.
It was obvious. Since Qiao Qing brought a laptop, it meant she was going to play a video.
Could it be… a surveillance video?!
Naturally, Xia Houshang’s mind thought of this.
She realized what Qiao Qing planned on doing and once again went insane as she struggled against the guards, “Stop her! Stop!’
She then looked down at her subordinates and once again ordered them, “Take her away! At this instant! Now! Why are you not moving?!”
This time, nobody listened to her. On the contrary, they were looking at her with confusion.
The citizens were also starting to look at her differently.
They were skeptical why she’d try so hard to stop Qiao Qing. Xia Houshang shut up then and didn’t dare to try and stop Qiao Qing again.
She tried to comfort herself and tell herself that there was no way Qiao Qing would have any evidence.
She’s killed all the security guards in the surveillance room and just to be extra careful, she hired a hacker to destroy and wipe out all the surveillance videos. There was no way Qiao Qing got her hands on anything.
Just as she formed that thought, the image in front of her made her widen her eyes in shock and in disbelief.
Xia Houshang went delirious again. However, other than the guards restraining her, nobody else paid any attention to her. Instead, they stared at the laptop screen.
In the surveillance video, Xia Shixiong was in his study smoking a cigar when Xia Houshang stumbled her way in. Her clothes were in a disarray..
