It was clearer and clearer who the culprit was.
As for why it was an operational computer Lana was probably afraid they might trace it back to her. But this diversion was useless as the only person in StreamWave who had a connection to Reuben was her.
“Did the police find Lana yet?”
“They did, but Lana denied it. She said that Reuben was framing her. There isn’t any direct evidence to prove that she’s the one using the account so the police can’t do anything about he

Reuben tried to provide his chat history with her to prove that he was telling the truth, but he could not produce his phone, Even after he had tumed the hotel room upside down, there was no sign of his phone
Based on his memory, he never used his phone again after Lana got someone to deliver the camera.
The police promptly requested all surveilance footage of the hotel lobby and all comiders, locusing on identifying the individual described by Reuben. However, the person in question wore a cap and a mask, making it difficult to obtain a clear view of their face.
Regrettably, the trail of clues came to an abrupt end.

Kevan ignored his complaint and said, “Remind Sharon to tell her company to pay the rest of the taxes within hall of this month, including the artist studios under her company. Those who have financial problems should have them solved within this timeframe.”
Dylan grew serious at once. “Within the half of this month What are you planning to do?”
