Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Damian sent the surveillance video to the group, and upon inspection, it was considerably clearer after the enhancement.

Although the surveillance footage did not capture the girl’s body, it did show a small part of her. She was walking while looking at her phone and walked to a wooden board that was laid on the ground at a construction site to protect the floor from scratches.

At that moment, she abruptly froze, and the high-voltage electricity instantly rendered her motionless. A distorted shadow was visible under the street lamp, and shortly thereafter, she fell to the ground, lifeless. The screen displayed only one hand, the source of the electrical contact, while the scorched hand on the ground remained curled up. Over time, it became barely recognizable as a human hand.

Josh’s hair stood on end as he exclaimed, “This is too scary…”

Lilly fixed her gaze on the monitor and asked, “That’s it?”

Blake replied, “Keep watching.”

Approximately five minutes later, another arm entered the frame of the surveillance footage. It appeared as only one arm due to the limited range of the surveillance, which captured only a small part of the incident scene.

The area had been overlooked during the initial investigation because it was too distant, small, and blurry, blending with the swirling shadow of the trees. Without careful examination, one would assume it was the shadow of branches.

The person in the video appeared to be startled, taking a few steps back before sitting on the ground. However, the electrocuted girl’s arm was soon dragged out of the screen, and the surveillance video abruptly ended.

Lilly was taken aback, stating, “I still don’t know who that person is…”

Blake clicked on another video and said, “Keep watching.”

The next video was from the mall and specifically focused on the first-floor bathroom, which led to the back door mentioned by people on the internet. The footage was taken in the morning when the mall was bustling with people.

In the video, a man wearing an orange vest, resembling a worker, emerged from the back door carrying two tool bags. He seemed to be in a hurry as he swiftly made his way out.

Hannah expressed her confusion, saying, “I don’t see anything unusual!”

Blake nodded and explained, “To most people, there doesn’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary. Firstly, it’s common to have maintenance workers in the mall. Secondly, it’s normal for a worker to carry two tool bags. Thirdly, no one would suspect that two bags could contain a corpse, as it wouldn’t be feasible to walk so easily with such weight. And finally, the weight of the bags he’s carrying is likely similar to that of actual tools.”

Thus, during the initial investigation and monitoring, this worker was overlooked.

As the video progressed to around noon, the worker returned to the scene again.

“Take a closer look, although the bags he’s carrying this time are bulging, they seem very light,” Blake pointed out.
