Frightening Joke: Above the Mist
Chapter 319: Video Recording

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Video Recording

Xu Zhifei had been quietly observing everything, of course he wouldn’t overlook those details.

Just now, in his rush to find the script, Ouyang Kang completely failed to notice what he had pulled from Lin Dayou’s corpse; anything that wasn’t paper, he casually tossed aside.

And when his own ring fell out, Xu Zhifei noticed it.

The ring... was from the same series as the watch.

But they were found separately on the victim Lin Dayou and Ouyang Kang.

At this moment, what other choice did Ouyang Kang have?

He trembled as he took out the ring and placed it on the dining table.

Xu Zhifei then took out the watch and placed it on the dining table as well.

Song Que took a close look and indeed, they were from the same person; the back of the watch and the inside of the ring were engraved with the same letter: L.

"L? Li? Liang? Liu? Or love?"

Song Que stared at Ouyang Kang, waiting for his answer.

"I don’t know..." Ouyang Kang, having been beaten up first by Zhan Yunhong and then by Song Que, was now completely devoid of temper, "The ring was something I picked up... I don’t know whose it is..."

Song Que stared at him for a long while, then suddenly turned to look at Wang Rui.

"What about you? Do you know?"

Wang Rui seemed taken aback that Song Que was suddenly paying attention to her, she shook her head fearfully, "I... I don’t know."

"Don’t know? Isn’t he your boyfriend? Why don’t you know?" Song Que looked sharply at this gentle, weak woman, "Is he really your boyfriend?"

"He is..." Wang Rui seemed almost driven to tears by Song Que’s intimidation.

"Why didn’t you come out to stop it when he was being beaten?" Song Que glanced at Ouyang Kang, "Both just now and now, you watched him get beaten without making a sound, there’s even a trace of pleasure, why?"

Song Que’s words made Ouyang Kang incredulously turn his head just in time to see the faintly abnormal smile at the corner of his girlfriend’s mouth, he asked tremblingly, "Xiao... Xiao Rui?"

Wang Rui’s body suddenly trembled, and she looked down without speaking.

...

In the hall.

Bai Yanliang and Qi Nian dragged the wooden table out, then flipped it over.

"There really is something!" Qi Nian said in amazement.

Bai Yanliang carefully removed the chip that was stuck on the back of the wooden table, looked around at it, and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Qi Nian widened her eyes and looked at him, "A memory card!"

"A memory card?" Bai Yanliang didn’t quite get it, "How do you use it?"

It wasn’t really his fault, when Bai Yanliang was hospitalized he was still young and had never come into contact with such things, and after being discharged and owning a phone, the era of external phone memory had long passed, truth be told, this was the first time he’d seen a memory card.

"Here, let me, my phone model is outdated." Qi Nian said as she took the memory card, and inserted it into her phone.

She was also very curious about what exactly was in it.

After successful reading, Bai Yanliang leaned forward to watch Qi Nian’s operation.

"This seems to be... a dashcam?"

Qi Nian clicked on a video, the screen was smoothly and steadily playing backward.

The two stared intently at the phone, soon... the unexpected happened.

The vehicle seemed to malfunction, the direction suddenly veered, and the screen spun wildly.

When it stabilized again, the camera was askew, a bloodied middle-aged man was barely alive, leaning against the seat.

"He... who is he? Liu Anzhi?" Qi Nian had already guessed his identity, "This is the dashcam record of when he got into the car accident!"

Bai Yanliang carefully observed every corner of the image.

Qi Nian wasn’t wrong, this should indeed be Liu Anzhi.

But... is that all?

If it was just a car accident video, there was no need to hide it in such a secret place, this accident no matter how you look at it, seemed to be simply Liu Anzhi’s bad luck.

"No, Liu Anzhi didn’t die from this, right?" Qi Nian watched the screen quizzically, "Though he appears to be covered in blood, it doesn’t seem fatal, right?"

"Let’s keep watching."

Bai Yanliang was certain the video wasn’t just about this, and sure enough, changes appeared soon.

A tall figure appeared outside Liu Anzhi’s car window, knocking on the door, seemingly trying to rescue Liu Anzhi.

But at this moment, Liu Anzhi’s lips suddenly moved.

"Thirty million, I have thirty million in a nearby villa, save me."

Bai Yanliang watched Liu Anzhi’s lips and interpreted what he was saying.

"Thirty million!" Qi Nian was startled, the villa Liu Anzhi mentioned should be this one, but... wasn’t it three million?

Unexpectedly, after Liu Anzhi uttered those words, the action of breaking the car suddenly halted.

"I’ve hidden it, the clue is on me."

Bai Yanliang deciphered Liu Anzhi’s lip movements once more.

"I beg you, save me."

After Liu Anzhi said these four words, an arm suddenly reached in through the broken window but instead of choosing to help Liu Anzhi, it snatched the pendant off his neck.

"Stop." Bai Yanliang suddenly spoke up.

Qi Nian immediately paused the playback, the screen froze on the arm reaching in.

"This person is Zhan Yunhong." Bai Yanliang said with certainty.

"Huh?" Qi Nian couldn’t comprehend how Bai Yanliang figured it out.

"Continue."

"Oh... okay."

The video resumed playback.

After taking the pendant, the hand moved toward Liu Anzhi’s wrist, aiming to take off the watch, but it abruptly retracted out of the broken window, and the figure quickly vanished.

"Zhan Yunhong ran away, someone was passing by." Bai Yanliang commented.

Soon, another person appeared.

Since this person wasn’t tall, half of his face was vaguely revealed in the image.

"...Is that Lin Dayou?" Qi Nian recognized the person.

In the video, the barely breathing Liu Anzhi continued uttering the same words.

"Save me, I have money."

"Save me, thirty million, it’s all yours."

"It’s hidden, only I know the location."

"The clue is on me."

However, a horrifying scene unfolded on screen, after Liu Anzhi spoke these words, the hand which Lin Dayou had extended to assist him suddenly withdrew, his face contorted into an incredibly fierce and unpleasant expression, he reached through the broken window, and slapped Liu Anzhi’s already blood-covered face repeatedly, then... tore off his watch and fled.

Qi Nian felt her heart grow cold; she even thought that just now Lin Dayou was more terrifying than a fierce ghost.

"Why... why did they suddenly stop trying to save Liu Anzhi?" Qi Nian murmured.

Bai Yanliang shook his head, "I don’t know."

Though saying this, a trace of understanding flashed in Bai Yanliang’s eyes.

Liu Anzhi meeting this fate was a result of his own doing, though he was an excellent director, he forgot that the reality of human nature can be more dramatic than drama itself...

"Someone else is coming!"

Qi Nian said.

This time it was another man.

Upon seeing the tragic car accident scene, he was the only one who immediately smashed the car door to save Liu Anzhi.

He was... Ouyang Kang.
