Chapter 344 Hidden Camera
The room was sparsely furnished, consisting of a bed, table and chairs, a wardrobe, a sofa, and a coffee table.
Wu Zhiyuan worked in the national security system, and anti-espionage and anti-surveillance skills were his basic abilities.
He turned off the living room light and drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness.
Then, he turned on the professional equipment and slowly scanned every corner of the room.
On the screen, a faint red dot flickers near the power outlet under the TV cabinet.
Wu Zhiyuan bent down and examined it carefully.
It was a standard five-hole socket, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But when he gently pried at it with his hand, he noticed a slight, barely perceptible looseness at the edge of the socket panel.
He found a small screwdriver and carefully removed the panel.
A pinhole camera was blatantly hidden behind the panel, its lens pointing directly at the sofa and coffee table.
This indicates that there is a hidden camera in the living room.
Judging from the camera footage, it's not the latest model, so the target shouldn't be him, but rather his ex-girlfriend, Yu Jinxing.
Then he went to the master bedroom.
He checked each potential location where a hidden camera might be installed.
The air conditioner vent and the lamp base on the bedside table are both working properly.
He lay on the bed, simulating the possible directions of vision while sleeping, and then raised the professional equipment to begin scanning.
Two red dots.
One of the decorative moldings at the top of the wardrobe faces the bed.
Another picture is hidden on the edge of a decorative painting frame above the bed, angled slightly downwards, so that it captures both the bed and the bedside table area.
Wu Zhiyuan removed the decorative trim on the top of the wardrobe and confirmed that it was a hidden camera.
Then he stood on the bed and carefully removed the decorative painting.
The back panel of the picture frame had been tampered with; a miniature camera was embedded inside, with the lens protruding from a tiny hole on the edge of the frame.
This location is extremely difficult to detect without a professional examination.
Two cameras, two different positions, with slightly different angles.
Wu Zhiyuan was very confused. Why would there be two hidden cameras in one room?
Could there be listening devices or something in the room?
Learning from past mistakes and out of habit in the national security profession, Wu Zhiyuan now checks for hidden cameras and eavesdropping devices wherever he goes.
Take this temporary housing unit as an example. If it is not thoroughly searched, any hidden cameras or eavesdropping devices will pose a threat.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't miss any corner of the room.
He lay on the ground and shone the flashlight under the bed.
Most people wouldn't notice the space under the bed.
There was a black thing stuck to the inside of the bed board with tape.
Wu Zhiyuan took it down and saw that it was a black USB flash drive.
In another room, Wu Zhiyuan discovered a hidden camera.
It's shocking that a house had four hidden cameras.
Living in such a house, Yu Jinxing is practically invisible.
Wu Zhiyuan carefully checked each room again to make sure there were no hidden cameras or listening devices before turning on his laptop and plugging in the black USB drive.
The folder contains more than a dozen video files, named according to the year, month, and day.
The earliest date is more than a year ago.
Yu Jinxing worked in Qingyan County for a little over a year.
Wu Zhiyuan clicked on the first video.
The image is very clear, and the angle was taken from the decorative painting above the bedside table, directly facing the large bed.
The room was softly lit.
Yu Jinxing and a woman appeared in the picture.
The woman was in her early thirties, with long, flowing hair, a slender figure, and a charming expression.
The scene was appalling.
From the subsequent dialogue, we learn that this woman is Liao Shanshan.
No wonder Cao Mengde had that peculiar hobby.
No wonder many netizens commented on Cao Mengde with the same sentiment: hate Mengde, understand Mengde, become Mengde, and surpass Mengde.
He clicked on the second video.
The woman was older, around thirty or forty years old, but still retained her charm.
Wu Zhiyuan guessed that she was Jiang Xiaohua.
What followed made even someone like him, who had been through it all, blush and his heart race.
From the conversation, it was confirmed that the woman was Jiang Xiaohua.
Jiang Xiaohua, now middle-aged, still manages to make so many powerful and influential men fall at her feet. This is not only due to her flirtatiousness and charm, but also to her breathtaking skills and techniques.
It seems like this woman has received professional training in nightclubs.
Otherwise, how could she understand men so well? How could she be so good at pleasing men?
The third, the fourth, the fifth...
Different women, different times, the same scene.
On this bed, Yu Jinxing engaged in sexual intercourse with multiple men.
Wu Zhiyuan gained a new understanding of Venus.
This person is not greedy because he is not short of money. People with family businesses would not care about the small amount of money others give them.
If things go wrong, not only will you lose your official position, but you'll also end up in jail.
His brother-in-law accepting a house from a construction company owner may not have been his intention.
Some officials, because their families are wealthy, are genuinely not corrupt.
There have been reports online about a judicial official who rose through the ranks to the vice-ministerial level by fabricating evidence and offering bribes.
He was eventually sentenced to twelve years in prison, his only crime being bribery.
Wu Zhiyuan fell into deep thought. Lin Xue had said in their last conversation that women were a more deadly trap than money.
Wu Zhiyuan then opened the folder.
The main character in the picture is not Yu Jinxing, but Yuan Jin!
Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback.
The Yuan Jin in the video is completely different from the one who reprimanded Liu Mingda in the office during the day.
That powerful, domineering, and authoritative leader was now completely unguarded in bed, just like any ordinary man indulging in desire.
How did Yu Jinxing obtain Yuan Jin's indecent video?
However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
Since Yuan Jin was trying every means to find something to hold against Yu Jinxing, Yu Jinxing would naturally also rack his brains to find something to hold against Yuan Jin.
Yuan Jin has her own loyal followers, and Yu Jinxing will also have her own loyal followers.
The top two leaders don't focus on their work, but rather on seizing power and overthrowing their opponents.
How can Qingyan County's economy develop?
Even the best location, resources, and policies are useless.
As for why there are two cameras in the master bedroom, Wu Zhiyuan made a bold guess:
One camera was installed at Yuan Jin's behest, while the other was installed by Yu Jinxing herself.
This person is not only lecherous, but also has a peculiar collecting obsession.
He recorded each of their trysts and stored them neatly on a USB drive.
These videos are trophies to him, things to brag about, and things he can reminisce about in the quiet of the night.
This is far more exciting and thrilling than watching Japanese adult films, because the protagonist in those films is him.
It's highly likely that Yu Jinxing was unaware that there was a camera in the room.
If I had known, I would have taken them off long ago.
Wu Zhiyuan recalled what Lin Xue had said: "The waters in Qingyan County run deep; some people are specifically targeting the weaknesses of leading cadres."
Yu Jinxing has fallen, fallen because of a woman.
But the process of Venus's fall was far more complicated than he had imagined.
This is not merely a matter of conduct, nor simply a power struggle; it is an intricately woven web.
What Wu Zhiyuan couldn't understand was why Yu Jinxing didn't hand over the USB drive to the disciplinary committee after being investigated.
