Chapter 439 Doubt Exploration: The Mysterious Man's Traces
Wen Nuan quickly ran to the rooftop and saw Mo Han's face was ashen, with a document tightly clenched in his hand.
Across from him, the man in black had long since disappeared.
"What happened?" Wen Nuan asked worriedly.
Mo Han took a deep breath, handed the document to Wen Nuan, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the accident at the celebration was not accidental."
Wen Nuan quickly browsed the document and was shocked by its contents.
Documents show that a mysterious account transferred large sums of money to several waiters a few days before the celebration, and these waiters were responsible for working near the rooftop.
"Someone deliberately arranged all this," Wen Nuan clenched her fists, "but what's the purpose?" Mo Han's eyes were cold, "I'm afraid it's not just aimed at me, but also at you and the Mo family."
After the celebration, Wen Nuan and Mo Han immediately began their investigation.
The guest list was the first breakthrough, but the list had been tampered with, with a lot of information missing or tampered with, and the investigation was at a standstill.
Wen Nuan rubbed her temples and felt a headache.
"It seems like someone doesn't want us to find out the truth." Mo Han looked at the messy list, his eyes darkening.
He was unwilling to give up, so he used his family connections to find the staff member responsible for guest registration that day.
At first, the staff were hesitant and evasive.
But under Mo Han's coercion and inducement, he finally revealed some information that had been deliberately concealed: a tall man wearing a baseball cap and a mask had entered and exited the venue many times before the celebration began, and his behavior was suspicious.
The man was not registered and seemed very familiar with the layout of the venue.
"A baseball cap, a mask... He seems to be a repeat offender." Wen Nuan pondered, and suddenly remembered that at the celebration party, when the host announced that the Mo Group was about to launch a new project, she noticed that a man in a baseball cap in the corner had an unusual expression on his face, as if...
"Mo Han," Wen Nuan looked up suddenly, "I remember..."
"Mo Han," Wen Nuan looked up suddenly, "I remember when the host announced the new project, a man in a baseball cap in the corner had a strange expression, as if... surprised, and also like... disappointed?" She tried hard to recall the man's appearance, but only remembered a vague outline.
"Surveillance!" Mo Han reacted immediately, "The banquet hall's surveillance camera should have captured him."
The two immediately retrieved the surveillance video from the banquet hall.
However, when they found the video of the host announcing the new project, they discovered that the surveillance camera in that corner had malfunctioned and the picture was full of snow.
"Damn it!" Mo Han slammed his fist on the table, his face terribly gloomy.
"This was definitely done on purpose!"
Wen Nuan also felt a sense of powerlessness, and the clue was broken again.
"Are we just going to give up like this?" she asked unwillingly.
"Of course not!" Mo Han said firmly, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. No matter who it is, if they dare to hurt you, I will never let them go!"
Wen Nuan looked at Mo Han's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She knew that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, Mo Han would be there to face them with her.
"But now the surveillance is broken, where else can we start?" Wen Nuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Mo Han looked at her furrowed brows, held her in his arms with heartache, and gently stroked her hair.
"Don't worry, there will always be a way." His voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power.
"Even if I have to turn the whole city upside down, I will find the mastermind behind this."
Wen Nuan leaned in Mo Han's arms, feeling his warm embrace and strong heartbeat, and the anxiety in her heart gradually subsided.
She knew that with Mo Han around, she had nothing to fear.
Suddenly, Wen Nuan seemed to have thought of something and raised her head from Mo Han's arms.
"Wait, just because the surveillance is broken doesn't mean we are helpless..." A gleam flashed in her eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"You mean..." Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan, seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Wen Nuan didn't answer, but took out her cell phone from her bag and made a call.
"Hello, Officer Li? I need your help with something..."
Wen Nuan hung up the phone with a confident smile on her lips.
"The surveillance is broken, but there are other clues." She pulled Mo Han out of the monitoring room and went straight to the banquet hall.
"I remember the man standing next to the potted plant in the corner," Wen Nuan said as they walked over. "He seemed to be observing the surroundings all the time."
The two came to the corner that Wen Nuan mentioned and carefully searched every inch of the ground.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Mo Han was about to lose his patience, Wen Nuan suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"Found it!" She bent down and picked up a button from the bottom of the potted plant. It was dark gray and exquisitely crafted.
"This button... doesn't look like it belongs to our guest."
Mo Han took the button and looked at it carefully. There was a vague logo printed on the back of the button, which looked like the letter "K".
"This logo... I seem to have seen it somewhere." He tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember it.
"Maybe we can check the origin of this button." Wen Nuan suggested.
Relying on the power of the Mo family, they quickly found the manufacturer of these buttons - a clothing factory under the Mo Group.
"This button is produced in our factory," the factory manager said, pointing to a picture on the computer. "It's used on our latest men's suit jacket."
"Can I find the customer information of the person who bought this coat?" Mo Han asked.
The factory manager looked embarrassed. "Mr. Mo, this jacket is our best-seller. So many customers have bought it that it's hard to verify it one by one."
Wen Nuan looked at the picture of a suit jacket on the computer, her brows furrowed.
The clues were lost again. Are they going to search for the mysterious man like looking for a needle in a haystack?
Suddenly, she noticed a detail on the coat.
"Wait, this coat has a special embroidery pattern on the cuffs, right?"
The factory manager nodded and said, "Yes, this is the signature design of our jacket."
"That's right!" A gleam flashed in Wen Nuan's eyes. "I remember the man put his hands in his pockets, with part of his cuffs exposed, and I vaguely saw the embroidered pattern!"
"In other words, as long as we find the person who wore this jacket with embroidered patterns on the cuffs that day, we can narrow down the list of suspects!" Mo Han also became excited.
However, the factory manager poured cold water on him: "Mr. Mo, even though there are embroidered patterns, there are still many people who buy this coat. If you want to accurately target them, I'm afraid..."
Just as they were about to investigate further...
The door of the factory director's office was suddenly pushed open, and a breathless employee ran in, "Director! It's bad! The warehouse... the warehouse is on fire!" Just as they were about to investigate further, Mo Han's cell phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and his expression instantly became serious.
"It's Grandpa calling." He answered the phone in a respectful tone, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
The majestic voice of Mr. Mo came from the other end of the phone: "Mo Han, there is an emergency with the company's mining project in Africa. We need you to go there and handle it in person."
Mo Han frowned tightly.
The mining project in Africa is a key project of the Mo Group and cannot be lost, but he is currently busy investigating the mysterious man and is too busy to spare any time.
"Grandpa, I'm..."
"This matter is very important and cannot be delayed," Mr. Mo interrupted him, "You must set off immediately."
Mo Han took a deep breath. He knew the importance of this matter and also understood that his grandfather's decision could not be questioned.
"I understand, Grandpa. I'll arrange the itinerary right away."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Han's face became terribly gloomy.
He glanced at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of apology.
"Wen Nuan, I have to go to Africa. There's an emergency at the company."
Although Wen Nuan was disappointed, she also understood Mo Han's difficulties.
"I know. Go ahead and do your work. I'll continue investigating myself."
Mo Han held the warm hand tightly, his eyes full of worry.
"Be careful and notify me immediately if anything happens."
Wen Nuan nodded and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
After Mo Han left, Wen Nuan held the button and fell into deep thought.
The clues were broken again. Where should she start?
Suddenly, she thought of Uncle Wang, the old housekeeper of the Mo family. Uncle Wang had worked in the Mo family for decades and knew everything about the people and things in the Mo family. Perhaps he could provide some useful information.
Wen Nuan immediately called Uncle Wang.
"Uncle Wang, hello, I'm Wen Nuan, I want to ask you something..."
After Wen Nuan hung up the phone, a glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes.
She took the button, turned and left the factory, heading towards the unknown fog...
"This button..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself, clutching the button tightly in her hand.
