Chapter 627 Encrypted Flash Drive “Leaf?’
“Yeah, the woman in this video is a very popular dancer, Leaf.”
Ainsley pressed the play button again, and the woman started dancing again. Roman proceeded to play a video of Leaf dancing on his tablet. Her dancing posture was exactly the same as on his computer.
Matteo noticed Ainsley’s disappointment and asked, ‘Aisy, where did you get the flash drive?”
Ainsley pursed her lips. “In my dad’s study at Green Road mansion, where the mainframe was dragged away, I found this inconspicuous flash drive lying in the corner.”
Listening to them talking, Manuel frowned slightly. “What happened?”
“No…”
“Aisy, have you forgotten what you promised me at home?” Matteo interrupted Ainsley.
Ainsley was silent for a moment. She understood what Matteo meant.
The autopsy report had already confirmed that her father’s death had nothing to do with Manuel. The car accident was not the real reason, but why was she still uncomfortable when she faced him? Why did she just want to escape?
“If we want to find out the truth, we should do whatever it takes.” Matteo’s voice from that day echoed in her ears. After a fierce battle, she finally made up her mind.
She took two steps forward and looked straight at Manuel with a hint of anger in her eyes.
“I got an autopsy report about my father. The report written on the death certificate a few years ago was fake, and the real report showed that my father died of lidocaine. I asked a detective to check the people my father had contacted back then, and the detective said that he could look at my father’s phone and computer to get some clues. But unfortunately, before I went to the mansion, someone had already taken my father’s computer and replaced the mainframe. I only saw this USB drive in the abandoned study.”
But now, she thought there would be some clues on the flash drive, but she didn’t expect there to be nothing. It was just a video of a woman dancing.
She didn’t know this dancing woman, Leaf, and she had never heard of her from her father.
Manuel’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He didn’t expect that Ainsley would ask a detective to find out the truth about Jake’s death.
He looked at the woman who lowered her eyes, and the kind of disappointment that couldn’t be ignored almost filled the whole study room.
He opened his mouth several times, but he didn’t know what to say.
Matteo took over the conversation and told him everything that had happened between Mary and Leonard. “Obviously, there is a huge net behind this that shrouds everything, and we can’t even see through the layer of mist. They do things secretly, but it’s certain that even Irene doesn’t know who those people are.’
Manuel’s eyes were solemn. He never thought that such forces would appear in Seattle that he wasn’t aware of. What was even more terrifying was that they had appeared a few years ago.
While everyone was still deep in thought, Roman leaned over and fiddled with the computer for a while. He suddenly exclaimed and caught everyone’s attention.
“I see! This flash drive is not that simple. It’s an encrypted flash drive, and the form of the password is something I’ve never seen before. Moreover, even the triggering channel has to go through a specific method. Gosh, who the hell are they!”
Roman’s exclamation made Matteo and Ainsley look even more solemn. They had long known that the way to find out the truth was not simple.
Ainsley asked in confusion, “How long will it take to unlock it?”
After pondering for a moment, Roman said uncertainly, “I can’t say the exact time. I can only say that I will try my best. After all, we haven’t even taken the first step.”
Manuel said decisively, “From this moment on, stop everything you’re doing and try your best to solve it.”
Roman nodded and couldn’t help but laugh. “Do I get a raise?”
It was rare for Roman to be able to liven up the atmosphere in such a serious setting.
“Didn’t you fall in love with a car? If you can crack it, I’ll give you the key directly,” Manuel said.
Roman almost jumped up in excitement. “No problem! Mr. Gage, I wrote down what you said just now. Don’t break your promise. Ms. Easton and Mr.
Easton have both heard it.”
Matteo said, “If you can figure it out, I’ll give it to you if Manuel doesn’t give it to you.”
When Matteo came out of the Gage Group’s building, he turned around and looked at Manuel. “By the way, you should know about Irene. We can’t find that witness. If your man can find him, please let me know. He is the key person who can bring Irene down.”
Manuel knew that Ainsley hated Irene’s determination, and he understood the seriousness of the matter. “I will.”
There was no need to say more. When Manuel wanted to say a few words to Ainsley, Ainsley had already gotten into the car. He tried to suppress his disappointment and forced himself to laugh out loud. After all, Ainsley was willing to let him help now.
Sitting back in the car, Ainsley looked at Matteo awkwardly. “Matteo, I’m not feeling well.”
“Why? Because Manuel found out about everything?” Matteo started the car.
Ainsley smiled bitterly. “I’ve always avoided contact with him because I was unable to face him, but today I personally told him that my father’s death had nothing to do with him. My previous reactions were like a joke.”
Matteo shook his head. “Aisy, perhaps because you’ve been in the Baldry family for too long, you’ve forgotten how fearless you were before. Instead, you’re letting your imagination run wild like now. Sometimes, it’s not good to think too much.”
Of course, Ainsley understood what he meant. Maybe Manuel wouldn’t even think about these questions.
Forty-eight hours later, at the Seattle Police Department, a policewoman looked at a woman in the interrogation room wearily.
Irene’s eyes were full of bruises. She knew that the detention period had passed, and there was no solid evidence, so they needed to release her.
However, what she didn’t expect was that just as she was released, she would be taken in again.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
With sharp eyes, the policewoman scowled at her face as if in mockery. “Irene, you are suspected of attempted sexual assault in Rulina Village
Area, as well as intentional physical assault. You are now under arrest according to the law.”
Her arms, which had just been uncuffed, were once again handcuffed. Irene’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the policewoman.
“Isn’t that matter over? Kaliyah’s imprisonment is over.”
“Yes, that’s right, but now that the case has been overturned, Glenn has resubmitted his statement. He has confessed that it was you,” the policewoman said indifferently.
Irene’s face turned completely pale. “Impossible! That’s impossible! I want to see him!”
However, the policewoman waved her hand and asked someone to take her away. “Please cooperate with our investigation.”
The Chernoff awards ceremony was as gorgeous and noble as ever, and all the guests were prominent figures in society.
Some of them were scientists and inventors who had made outstanding contributions to human development, while others were people with the same expertise as Ainsley.
The host stood on the podium, reciting praises for Ainsley in an excited voice.
