Everything that Charlie told him was roughly the same as what Jasper already knew.
However, he discovered something new from his father’s account of the incident.
There were surveillance cameras in the factory. Although there were not many cameras, they covered most of the important areas.
However, none of the cameras had captured the scene of the batch of defective steel plates being moved into the factory.
“I’ve checked before. There are at least three surveillance cameras along the way to the factory. There’s one at the main entrance, another one at the entrance of the production area, and one at the entrance of the warehouse. These are all important pathways, but none of these cameras managed to catch anything on footage.
“Therefore, there can only be two explanations for this. It was either a supernatural event where everything was the work of a ghost or the perpetrator is someone familiar with the environment of the factory and acted as a snitch.”
Lucas brought two executives over in a hurry when Charlie mentioned this.
“Mr. Laine, you didn’t notify us when you arrived. We should have come outside to greet you,” Lucas told Jasper.
Jasper waved his hand while he continued to eat. “You don’t have to be so courteous around me. I don’t like such behavior. Have you guys eaten? Let’s eat together if you haven’t,” he said.
Lucas flashed a meaningful gaze at one of the executives. The executive rushed off to take food for them at once.
Not long after, the three of them sat down. The small table was occupied by six people. The atmosphere was rather lively as everyone huddled together.
“My father told me about the surveillance cameras. Do all of you know about it?” Jasper asked.
Lucas nodded and said, “Yes, Chairman Laine was the one who proposed this idea to us. After investigating and drawing comparisons between the footage, we didn’t find anything suspicious.”
