"Secret cameras?"
"Yes. I've just contacted Charlie, who said that you ordered him to install the surveillance cameras after Mrs. Martin was taken away by Edward at the construction site. In order to prevent potential sabotage, he installed several relatively secret pinhole cameras, but..."
The more Curtis spoke, the more Benjamin's eyes darkened.
Because it was reported by an injured person, the police immediately rushed to the construction site and took Charlie away to the police station for investigation.
During police interrogation, Charlie openly confessed to his role in recruiting individuals to install surveillance cameras. He admitted to replacing several groups, including those responsible for setting up hidden pinhole cameras. However, he couldn't even recall the precise details of every location.
In other words, he was tasked with sourcing individuals for installation but lacked complete knowledge of the locations.
This statement aroused doubts from the police. Owen asked, "Isn't there a backend system for surveillance that allows you to access monitoring images at any time? Do you not have access to this backend?"
Charlie hesitated for a moment and said to Owen, "May I meet Mr. Martin?"
Owen observed his reluctance, but considering that Charlie couldn't cause any trouble in the police station, he agreed to his request.
Benjamin rushed over immediately.
Owen organized a separate small room for Benjamin to talk with Charlie, ensuring there was no surveillance inside, as per Benjamin's specific request.
Benjamin looked at Charlie, who seemed to be much more exhausted even though he had just come to the police station for an investigation.
He asked, "Well, what do you want to tell me?"
"Mr. Martin, I do have no idea of all the locations of the surveillance cameras at the construction site."
"But you were in charge of the installation."
"Yeah, but as a precaution against potential accidents, once all the cameras were set up, I provided Mrs. Martin with the locations of the cameras and the backend system. You can inquire at the police for some of the surveillance footage. They haven't had the opportunity to activate them yet. Perhaps Mrs. Martin hasn't inspected them."
Charlie deliberately lowered his voice. After finishing speaking, he carefully glanced at Benjamin and waited for his response.
His handsome face was sullen and cold, and his deep eyes were unfathomable, as if they were covered with a thick fog.
The room was quiet for about half a minute before he looked up at Charlie and asked calmly, "Do the police know about this?"
