The Three Little Guardian Angels -
Chapter 2097
Chapter 2097 "That means he died in the wee hours of the morning." Cameron lifted her eyelids and scanned at the staff members of the Southern Chamber of Commerce. Then, she asked, "Who was on duty last night?"
A few staff members turned to look at a skinny young man standing at the back. Sensing their gazes, the skinny young man said, "It's me, sir. B-But I really didn't see or hear any fight."
The people from The Serpents shouted, "Of course, you would say that. You guys must be helping your own people." Cameron rose to her feet and replied, "Helping our own people? Then why did you guys come to my place early in the morning? Do you not know that's trespassing? So it's reasonable for my people to beat you guys up when they found you.
"Moreover, my subordinate said that he didn't see any signs of a fight, so why would the corpse appear here out of nowhere? Could it be that he walked all the way to my place after he died?"
"Cameron, the body was found here. This is the evidence, and there's no way you can deny it," Manuel said, his voice filled with rage.
Cameron turned her head around and ordered, "Go get the security camera footage."
The man behind her nodded and went to the surveillance room. Manuel let out a cold smirk as if he was confident they couldn't get anything from the footage. Soon, the man returned and whispered into Cameron's ear. "Sir, a part of the footage from last night is gone."
Cameron fell silent.
"So what now? Where is your footage? Is it gone? It seems like someone from your side is light-fingered. They're afraid of getting exposed for what they've done, so they destroyed the footage in advance." The fact that a part of the footage was gone meant the security camera must have captured something on it. Only the people from the Southern Chamber of Commerce had access to the surveillance room. 'What a nice move.
Without the footage, they couldn't explain why the body would appear at their place anymore. Besides, judging from the fact that The Serpents were so confident that the man was killed there, it meant that they came prepared and were certain that Cameron wouldn't be able to prove the Southern Chamber of Commerce's innocence no matter what. Waylon suddenly turned to look at the skinny man and asked, "You're very sure that you didn't hear any noise last night, right?" The skinny man nodded.
Waylon squinted and continued. "Were you the only one on duty last night?"
The skinny man trembled with fear. "There will be people on duty every night. Other than me, there are another three security guards." Cameron asked someone to bring the security guards inside. After they were informed of what happened last night, they all said they did not realize anything. Manuel harrumphed and said, "Mr. Southern, it seems like all of your men aren't going to admit it. It's a fact that one of my brothers was killed here, so how about this? If you're willing to hand The Commune and The Sexta to us, we'll forget everything that happened today."
Cameron's gaze turned sharp. "I don't know from where you got the courage to say such a thing to me."
The Commune and The Sexta were areas governed by the Southern Clan. The Commune managed the dock and the ferry area, while The Sexta was the center of the Southern Chamber of Commerce. Regardless of which area it was, they were inseparable territories of the Southern Clan.
It seemed to Cameron that it must be Fabio who asked them to request something like that, and it was only now that she realized why it was Manuel who came today instead of Florence.
Florence was too incompetent, and Fabio should be worried that she might spoil his plans. Therefore, he appointed Manuel to take care of The Serpents.
Manuel dusted his suit and continued. "If you refuse to accept the suggestion, then there's nothing I can do about it. It's just that I wonder what other people will think when they learn that the Southern Clan has killed someone today."
His voice was filled with threat.
Cameron let out a grim smile and said emotionlessly, "Mahina."
Mahina came forward. "Your order, sir?"
"Lock up all the people on duty last night, and by whatever means, replace a way to pry them open within the day."
