Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1004

Luke frowned, and his gaze turned sharp.

If the signal jammer was in the mansion and close to the cameras, how did the thief manage to sneak it in?

Bianca noticed the grim expression on her husband's face and could guess that he was thinking about the incident. She did not want to disturb him, so she said softly, "I'll bring Lanie upstairs."

"Mm. I'll get the caretaker to bring breakfast upstairs later." Luke kissed her forehead and went to the couch.

Bianca held Lanie's hand and said softly, "Let's go upstairs."

"Alright, Mommy." Lanie still looked a little weak. The two of them went up the stairs.

After seeing his wife and son go up the stairs, Luke went into the kitchen to tell the caretaker to prepare breakfast for them, then walked around the living room. "Why are you so sure?"

"It's like this, Mr. Crawford. The technicians have managed to restore the footage from outside the mansion, but they haven't managed to do so for the footage within the mansion. The footage gets harder to restore the closer it is to the signal jammer, so the only explanation is that the signal jammer had been placed inside the mansion. Also, we've found out that all the cameras were disrupted at the same time, but the intensities were different. It means that the signal jammer remained a constant distance to the cameras," the manager of the security company explained.

Luke instantly understood that the thief did not bring the signal jammer in. All evidence pointed to the fact that someone had placed the signal jammer in the mansion in advance.

"Mr. Griffin," he called out.

"Yes, Sir," the butler stepped up to Luke and waited for orders.

"Have there been any strangers in the house? Including maintenance workers and others," Luke asked.

"There were no strangers in the house recently, Sir. There are also no utility maintenance records either," the butler replied.

"Are you sure?" Luke glanced at him.

"Yes, I am sure, Sir. The last scheduled maintenance to the electrical systems was six months ago. There were a few minor repairs after that, but the most recent one was five months ago. I have recorded them in a notebook," the butler said determinedly.

"Give me the notebook." Luke did not want to forgo any leads.

If the signal jammer had been installed beforehand, everyone who stepped in or out of the mansion was a suspect. He would have to investigate them all.

The butler handed him the notebook.

Luke flipped through the pages and asked, "Is the signal jammer found?"

"No. We've tried to detect it with specialized equipment, but we didn't find anything. The thief must have brought it away when they left," the manager replied.

Luke frowned. "If he took it away and the signal jammer wasn't turned off, the effects should be seen in the disrupted footage, right?"

"Yes, but he might have done something…" the manager explained.

"What is it?" Luke was relentless in his questioning.

"The technology is already available overseas, but we'll still have to investigate thoroughly before reaching a conclusion." The manager was already breaking out in a sweat from the questioning.

"If the technology exists, then you can't say that the signal jammer is in the house." Luke closed the notebook after finding no one suspicious.

"Well…" The manager was at a loss for words.

"The signal jammer is in the house. Find it whatever it takes," Luke ordered.
