To avoid too bright light, surveillance cameras in conference rooms are usually installed on the same side of the window.
But even with this consideration, the projection screen in the monitoring screen is still reflected in white, and the screen projected at that time cannot be seen at all. However, the monitoring showed that at 13:23, there was a sudden reaction from everyone in the conference room of the marketing department. It was also almost at the same time that the director Luo Ge suddenly pulled off the connection cable. Come to the video".
"Eh Qiumang?" Brother Luo didn't understand why she wanted to locate the precise time of the incident: "What's going on? Could it be that Xiao Zheng has an 'alibi' at this time?"
By "alibi" he was referring to an action that contradicted "the ability to transmit video at the same time" - such as he was on the phone, tying up the signal; such as he had a clear witness that he had not been in contact during that time cell phone.
But Zheng Yi had no evidence.
After getting confirmation from Brother Luo, Qiu Mang sent Zheng Yi WeChat to verify, but Zheng Yi said that he didn't - "I seemed to be beating Yang Yi at that time."
Qiu Mang felt very uncomfortable when he got this answer: he was being beaten for Yang Yi, but Yang Yi was deliberately trying to slander him.
The camera in front of the company's door has a narrow field of view and can't capture the panorama - only from 13:06, there are "two suspicious people" that Zheng Yi said swaying, and one of them frequently appears on the screen. outside. 13:12 The person who stayed in the picture seemed to be attracted by something next to him. A small half of Zheng Yi's figure entered the painting for a few seconds, and the person stretched out his fingers and walked towards Zheng Yi and walked out of the monitoring range - yes go Went with Zheng Yi to "reason".
But Zheng Yi was entangled and pulled into the fire escape after that—and Qiumang knew that the property had not set up surveillance there.
Although it is common sense: no one will be idle enough to send flirting videos to others in the process of arguing with others... But if there is no conclusive evidence in the direction of checking the timeline, then everything checked so far is in vain energy.
It's easy to smear, but hard to whiten.
Qiumang sighed in distress and turned to walk out of the conference room of the marketing department.
Brother Luo is still asking: "Does Xiao Zheng have any evidence?"
Qiu Mang let out his breath: "Don't take a 'Xiao Zheng' one at a time - Zheng Yi is your same level!"
After the ruthless words, Qiumang felt that his indiscriminate attack was really unnecessary. But Zheng Yi was at the center of the turmoil, and Qiu Mang had no time to make the most perfect emotional management.
After leaving the conference room, Qiu Mang called Yang Yi's name: "Come with me."
Turning around and walking more than ten steps, he noticed that Yang Yi hadn't followed; looking back, he was being stopped by Brother Luo and seemed to be questioning.
After they finished speaking, Yang Yi and Qiu Mang entered the Human Resources Office.
Qiumang hit the pain point: "Are you in debt?"
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment: "This is my personal matter, and it has nothing to do with the company."
Qiumang sneered: "There are only us in the office, and I won't go anywhere to publicize your personal financial management problems. But as long as I find out what happened this time, you can pack your things and leave HALO."
Yang Yi shrugged, as if he didn't care about Qiumang's threat.
"I was one of the few people who knew about the installation of cameras in the hotel to blackmail Zheng Yi. Today you claimed that Zheng Yi did not delete you, and you were entangled with you. But the day you asked Zheng Yi to delete your contact information, He just told me about it - he never made things difficult for you; so that day he thought it was bad for you to use my power to stand up for him, which led you to ask him to delete you after many days ; at that time he told me that everyone makes mistakes and that he was afraid that scolding you would make you feel too guilty - but you? What the hell are you thinking?"
Yang Yi was silent.
"When you directed and acted 'Zheng Yi harassing you with a video', do you know what he was doing? He was being beaten—for you."
"Being beaten?"
"The debt collection company asked you to find HALO, for fear that you could not handle it and would be blocked by Zheng Yi for you - I really hate him now that he thinks he is a representative of justice when he is called 'Zheng Yi', and hate him to be meddling; If he doesn't block it for you, your plan to harm him this time will never come true."
Yang Yi was silent for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Qiumang calmly: "Where's the evidence? Does Mr. Qiu have any evidence?"
This time it was Qiumang's turn to be silent.
"If there is no evidence, everything you say now, Mr. Qiu, is slandering me." Yang Yi bit Qiumang back and laughed again: "How do you know the specific process of their dispute? Besides, even if he was beaten this way. How can I prove that he has no time to harass me?"
"You're really gross."
"I'm disgusted or not, that's your subjective opinion, but I think it's better to handle things objectively - HALO knows your relationship with Zheng Yi; you can both join the company by saying hello. The phoenix of the layer, there is no need to put us in the eyes of the little people who can't fly up..."
"… "
"I'll leave without anything."
After saying the last sentence, Yang Yi said goodbye and walked out of the office.
Qiumang felt that this person was terrifying; he stared at his back until he disappeared into the corner, and then pressed the record button—all the guiding words were slurred by him in silence, and no valid information was recorded.
The computer screen is densely covered with nine monitoring images of the whole HALO, and the images from 13:00-13:30 are repeatedly and rapidly rotated; the people coming and going from the bird's-eye view point of view make Qiu Mang sick to his stomach.
Mayflies are tree-shaking...
Because the big tree was so busy looking up to the sky, he didn't expect the mayfly to erode under the flies.
When the monitoring background is turned off, the software program has a period of lag.
Qiumang sipped his coffee distractedly, but inadvertently glanced at two adjacent stop frames.
At exactly 13:00, the cameras at the entrance of the Marketing Department Office and the Tea Area in the Vision Department Office recorded the figures of the two returning to the company after their lunch break; the coincidence was that they each held a cup of the same brand of take-out drink.
According to the packaging Qiumang, the brand can be quickly identified - this beverage brand has a store at the bottom of the office building, and it is a high-priced beverage store. If it was only held by Yang Yi, whose consumption habits have always been extravagant, Qiumang would not find it strange; but when she always claimed that she was poor and poor, Qiumang sensed something was wrong.
The worst part is: Could it be that the two met during their lunch break
A conjecture gradually formed in Qiumang's mind: If at the other end of the dialogue column, someone is acting with Yang Yi... Is it possible that this person is her? But... why
Yao Jiaren was restless.
After the incident at noon, Yao Jiaren followed Chen Gong to the marketing department immediately.
When Chen Gong entered the conference room to communicate with the director of the marketing department, Yao Jiaren took the opportunity to catch a passerby in the tea area to ask about the situation: "I heard that Zheng Jian's... is very exciting? Do you have any photos?"
"I was pulled out by Brother Luo before I had time to shoot - but I saw it with my own eyes, and it wasn't so exciting... I'm in good shape!"
"Hey... eh? Who is the man that Zheng Jian likes? - You secretly pointed it out to me. I'm a little curious about his appearance."
"It's okay, I'm better at dressing up... Don't look back—the one in the middle of the second row."
"Hey... I guess he's a high-ranking person, and he can deceive your young master into all kinds of things... Eh? Apart from the video, did Supervisor Zheng say anything flirtatious?"
"No, just video."
"What about before the video?"
"No."
"Didn't see it or didn't have it at all?"
"No-ah, it's strange for you to say this: If the old supervisor Zheng harassed him, how could there be no other conversation records?"
"Yeah! It's so strange..."—This is the conclusion that Yao Jiaren wanted to draw.
In fact, not long after he first came to the company, Yao Jiaren had no friendship with Zheng Yi.
But Yao Jiaren subconsciously wanted to stand on Zheng Yi's side and fight against the malicious person hiding in the dark - otherwise, he would never be able to get out of the shadow in his heart.
No matter how much you can help, help; even if it's just to pry the suspicion of a passerby.
In today's matter, Yang Yi claimed that Zheng Yi was entangled because of love.
Yao Jiaren encountered the exact same thing: at that time, he helped the drunk girl and smiled at the camera with her; when he pressed the shutter, he never thought that this photo would one day become evidence of his "violation of colleagues".
The information presented in a picture is limited, but it can be derived from thousands of interpretations.
What's even more ridiculous is that among so many interpretations, everyone is willing to believe the dirtiest one.
Keeping calm, Yao Jiaren sorted out the collected information over and over again. But no matter how I think about it, I feel that something is wrong.
If it was Zheng Yi who played with Yang Yi's feelings at first, it would be reasonable and reasonable to say that it was Yang Yi now. However, after hearing Qiumang say that it was Yang Yi who was trying to trick Zheng Yi at the time, Zheng Yi didn't feel sorry for Yang Yi in the end...
Yang Yi was shot because he wanted Zheng Yi to be unable to stay in HALO - where did such turbulent "hatred" come from
Being injured, Qiu Mang told Cheng Shen to "go home early after handing over the most important work", but Cheng Shen still patiently explained all the things to be finalized in the "three-in-one" project this week. .
After moving his wrist a little, Cheng Shen turned his head to look at Yao Jiaren's workstation - he looked at the computer, but was obviously absent-minded.
My left middle finger is fractured. If I go back on a motorcycle at night... It's okay to slowly slide home alone, and forget about carrying Yao Jiaren.
Cheng Shen was a little disappointed. I wanted to say that I could use the excuse of sending him to stay with him for a while... That's all.
When standing up to pour the coffee, Cheng Shen passed by Yao Jiaren and asked, "Brother Chen, haven't they come back yet? - We've all been back for more than 20 minutes."
"Yeah." Yao Jiaren smiled at him: "You also listen to Sister Qiu, go back early."
Cheng Shen whispered, "I'll wait for you."
"Need not."
"Then... I'll wait for Brother Chen and Brother Zheng and the others—I'll be relieved after watching this matter."
"Okay." Yao Jiaren obeyed Cheng Shen's stubbornness and asked him, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt now."
"Um."
At this moment, a series of mail prompts sounded one after another.
Yao Jiaren clicked on his mailbox - it was a notification from the Human Resources Department: Due to special reasons, Zheng Yi was temporarily demoted to the deputy director of the HALO Vision Department; the former deputy director and Chen Gong served as the director of the Vision Department.
The loud discussions around him doubled in volume.
No specific reason was given, but Zheng Yi was punished.
It may seem like punishment, but nothing has changed the actual situation.
Cheng Shen smoked a cigarette and lost his temper: "Didn't Sister Qiu say that she believed in Brother Zheng? Besides, I can testify that Brother Zheng was beaten! - How could anyone be beating each other and send videos to others?"
Yao Jiaren doesn't know how to smoke. Holding a burning cigarette, he smiled wryly: "What you think is really simple. Sending a video is a premeditated action, being beaten is a temporary emergency, and there is a time lag in the middle - all the people who have not been hit The 'evidence' recorded by surveillance, publicized at this juncture, will only be regarded as a quibble by everyone."
Cheng Shen snorted irritably, "How can it be so complicated?"
"If people's hearts weren't so complicated, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Cheng Shen closed his mouth.
Think carefully: In order to frame Zheng Yi, Yang Yi set up this game without any loopholes—since he suddenly asked Zheng Yi to delete himself a few days ago, it blocked Zheng Yi's mouth to defend himself; then he chose Friday afternoon The department reported the time, and acted in public from receiving harassment to deleting contacts, erasing the only evidence that could be used for verification.
Only the people were left in shock, and they recorded the scene that flashed by in front of them before they had time to scrutinize them, convicting Zheng in his heart.
Cheng Shen was puzzled: "It's only been two hours since the incident happened, and the truth has not been found out yet; but Sister Qiu clearly knows that Brother Zheng is innocent, so why did you demote Brother Zheng?"
"Becoming Deputy Supervisor Zheng and Supervisor Chen, do you think this punishment is any different from the previous structure?"
"I don't know... it doesn't feel like a difference."
"Yes, there is no difference." Yao Jiaren analyzed: "If I guessed correctly, Sister Qiu's 'punishment' is to lure snakes out of their holes."
"What's the meaning?"
"Punishing Zheng Yi means that the company's attitude is 'the case is closed'; but this case has not brought any substantial setbacks to Zheng Yi - the opponent has already spent a lot of effort to stir up the matter, but he has not Achieving the goal of 'defeating Zheng Yi', if you put aside the weekend for two days, you will become nothing more than a Rashomon in the future. If you are an opponent, what will you do?"
"I'll... make up the knife?"
Yao Jiaren nodded.
Pressing on the phone, he glanced at the time: "Exit the cigarette and go, the weekly meeting is about to start."
The author has something to say: In the next chapter, Zheng Yigao can fight back, see you tomorrow!
