Chapter 181 I found it!

Claire and Matthew were back at headquarters, sitting in front of a large monitor in the dimly lit room. After their visit to the internet café, Claire decided to put her focus on this matter that she neglected her work in order to find a clue from the surveillance video. Matthew glanced at Claire, noting the intensity in her eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this now? We can take a break."

Claire shook her head, her eyes fixed on the screen. "I will not rest until I find a clue. We have to figure out who posted that video about my wedding. I don't want another photo or video about me surface online."

Matthew sighed, admiring her determination. "Alright, let's do this."

The surveillance video began to play, showing the entrance of the internet café. Just like the second café Matthew visited. This one only had two working cameras, one at the entrance and one inside the room. The camera inside the room only capture half of the space making it difficult to see all the people.

Claire leaned forward, her eyes unblinking as she scrutinized every frame. Matthew watched her for a moment before turning his attention back to the screen. They both knew how important it was to find a lead.

Minutes turned into hours as they watched the footage in silence. Finally, Matthew broke the silence. "Claire, have you spotted anything yet?"

Claire shook her head, frustration evident in her voice. "No, I am still looking. There has to be something here."

Matthew leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyes. "It's hard to tell with such limited angles. Why would someone go through so much trouble to post that video? What do they gain from it?"

Claire sighed, her eyes still glued to the screen. "I don't know, Matthew. Maybe they're trying to ruin my reputation, or maybe it's something more personal. We need to find out who it is."

"I know but I still don't understand why someone would do this if it's not for revenge?"

Claire turned to Matthew. "I have a feeling it is a revenge, but I don't know the person who did this."

"Do you have any thought of the one behind this?"

Claire shook her head. "No. For the first time, I couldn't think. Not to mention this person got access to my wedding photos and video. I have no idea who."

Matthew was silent for a moment then he looked straight to Claire's eyes. "The only one who got access to your wedding photo and video other than Alex is...his parents. Can it be them?"
