You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 She Has To Be Bai Rong

“Mr. Stephen!” One of Stephen’s security guards entered the room with a plastic bag in hand. “Someone scraped off the insulation cover on the wires of the electricity generator and then poured water all over it, causing the entire generator to break down.”

“Mr. Stephen!” His butler also came rushing back into the room. “The signal transmitter was immersed in water when I found it. It can’t be fixed!” He said, holding up the plastic bag containing the broken device.

“So… the killer has two accomplices… There’s three of them at the very least?” Lisa’s face was turning paler by the second.

“Can I take a look on site?” Wu Nian asked.

“I’ll go with you,” Gu Mingchen immediately added.

“Me too!” Liu Yan said, glaring at Gu Mingchen.

I’m not letting you stay alone with Wu Nian!

“I think crowding around her would affect her focus. You two stay here. I’ll go.” Aaron smiled and held Wu Nian’s hand.

Wu Nian nodded and left for the electricity generator room with him and Stephen’s security guard, ignoring Gu Mingchen’s burning gaze.

She swiftly swept her eyes across the room. The floor was full of messy footprints. “You guys don’t come to the electricity generator room often, do you? But look at these footprints. They look like they had just been made. Did you notice anyone going into this room today?”

“Miss Lisa came here this morning. She brought two of her friends to tour around the villa,” the security guard replied.

“And where did you find the plastic bag? How did it look like when you initially discovered it?”

“Well, it was hung on the wires and was filled with water when I first saw it. Oh, I wonder who did this! It can’t be Miss Lisa, can it? Miss Lisa has never really gotten along well with her sister.” The security guard expressed his thoughts earnestly.

Wu Nian narrowed her eyes as she looked at the water droplets dripping from a tube above the place where the plastic bag was supposedly hung at. “Do you have a ladder?”

“Yes.” The security guard swiftly grabbed the ladder and set it up for her.

Wu Nian climbed up toward the tube and found an ice cube within it, along with thin ropes all tangled within the tube.

Carefully, she took the items out.

“How could there be an ice cube up there? Did the condensation freeze up? In this weather?” The security guard seemed rather baffled.

“Let’s go,” Wu Nian said quietly.

“Who do you think the killer is?” Aaron finally spoke.

“Let’s talk about this in the living room,” Wu Nian said, walking in front of him.

Aaron wrapped his arms around her waist gently and stared at her. “I only knew about how you were trained in the medical sciences and psychology. Who would have thought that you’re such an expert detective too.”

“I was…” Wu Nian paused. “I used to read a lot of mystery novels on solving crimes. I’m really interested in such things.”

“You never cease to surprise, do you? Oh, I think I might fall head over heels for you soon,” Aaron lamented.

“Don’t worry. You have discovered all of my good qualities. All that’s left is the bad and the ugly. Prepare to be disappointed,” Wu Nian said.

When they returned to the living room, Stephen hurried over and asked, “Any findings in the electricity generator room?”

“Yes. The killer fixed a plastic bag filled with water onto the wires. In the tube directly above it, the killer inserted an ice cube. Since there is no airflow within the tube, so the water from the melted ice will drip right into the plastic bag.” Wu Nian held up the items in her hand.

“Due to the increase in mass of the water contained within the plastic bag, it eventually broke, and large amounts of water were splashed over the wires, resulting in short circuits and melted wires.”

Looking at Stephen with a serious expression, Wu Nian explained, “It’s difficult to obtain fingerprints from the ropes or the plastic bag. However, since your machinery is manufactured in Danontand, there is a black box with five hundred megabytes of storage located within the generator. As long as that hasn’t been tampered with, we can extract it and connect it to a computer to obtain the surveillance footage. That way, we’ll know for sure who hung the plastic bag on the wires.”
