Chapter 13 — Don't Open The Door At 2 A.M

“Paste it behind the router.” “She knows?” “The first day she moved in, I connected her.” Officer Cao said: “So she doesn't need to ask again.” My stomach flipped a bit. Duong Ly really didn't ask. She didn't ask anything. But she remembers it all. At one o'clock in the morning, Duong Ly was taken out again. She was much unkempt than before, her hair was tangled, her lips were dry and cracked. Officer Tran placed a photo of a speaker in front of her. "Who modified this?" Duong Ly took a look, her eyes clearly flashing. "I don't know." "This is a birthday gift you gave to the victim." "I just bought it on a whim." "Where is the purchase record?" Duong Ly did not say. "Ha Xuyen said you know there is something inside." She suddenly raised her head. "He said nonsense!" As soon as this sentence came out, she herself realized it. I missed my words. Officer Tran did not immediately question her, just looked at her quietly. Duong Ly's lips trembled. "I didn't know it could transmit so much." I stood outside the door and heard this sentence through the slightly opened door. The whole person immediately became cold. She knows. She just didn't know how big the consequences would be. Police officer Tran asked: "Who is Old Mieu?" Duong Ly bowed her head. "I haven't met her yet." "How are we in contact?" "In the group." "What group?" She was silent. Officer Cao put the screenshot of Ha Xuyen's phone conversation on the table. "Do you still want to continue to suffer?" Duong Ly looked at the paper, his eyes suddenly red. "I only owe money." "Owing money can harm people?" "They forced me." Officer Tran's voice was very cold. "Who forced you to record your roommate's identification information, who forced you to open the door in the middle of the night, who forced you to hang the blood bag on the door?" Duong Ly's shoulders slumped. down. After a long time, she spoke softly. "Old Mieu said, as long as I get enough documents, he will help me pay half of the debt." "What do the documents include?" "Documents, addresses, relatives, work, facial videos, recordings of daily activities." I stood outside the door, my fingers clenched tightly into my palm. Face videos. Record daily activities. She said these words gently, as if she were saying that they were some small items that could be packaged and sold. Police Officer Tran asked: "How do you prepare to use it?" Duong Ly closed her eyes. "Borrow money, register an account, create a scam scenario, and also use it to intimidate people when they don't listen." "How to threaten?" She didn't say. Police Officer Tran said: "If you don't say it, Ha Xuyen will say it too." Duong Ly opened her eyes, her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Cut and combine videos." A buzzing sound rang out in my head. "Combining different parts, making things that people can't explain clearly." Having said that, her whole body trembled. "But I haven't finished it yet." Policeman Tran asked: "Where is the file now?" Duong Ly raised her head and looked out the door. She knows I'm there. Her eyes were blank for a few seconds, then suddenly pulled out a smile that was even more ugly than crying. "It's late." My phone rang at this very moment. On the screen was the boss's call. 15 When I received the phone, the voice was almost no longer mine. "General Manager Vuong." The boss's side was very noisy, like in the office hallway. "Ninh Ninh, you heard me first." He spoke very quickly, but tried to keep it steady. "Several groups of departments in the company all received the same video, the administration immediately recovered it, but maybe someone still saw it." My ears went blank for a moment. match. "What is the content of the video?" The other end of the line was silent for a moment. "It's collage." I closed my eyes. "How serious?" The boss lowered his voice and said: "The image is not clear, but the caption text is very malicious." I put my hands on the hallway wall. The cold wall paint stuck to the palm of my new hand made me unsteady on my feet. The boss continued: "I told the information department to block messages in the group, and also asked everyone not to spread them. The law is also being saved."

evidence.” I wanted to say thank you, but my throat felt blocked. The boss's voice became even lower. "For now, don't go to the company, wait for the police to handle it, don't worry about salary and timekeeping." This sentence made my eyes heat up. But soon, anger overwhelmed all self-pity. I shouldn't have run away. The wrong person is not me. I said: "General Manager Wang, tomorrow I will coordinate with the police to send a statement explaining the situation." The boss stopped. "Are you sure?" "Sure." "Okay, the company will coordinate with you." After hanging up the phone, I told police officer Tran the situation. He immediately told his colleagues to try to spread the notes among company groups, and asked his boss to upload the original file to the police. Duong Ly sat in the interrogation room, hearing the words "video sent out", his face also changed. She whispered: "I didn't send it." I looked at her. "But without you, there wouldn't be any of these things." Tears fell from her eyes. "I really didn't think it would turn out like that." For the first time I saw her tears, it was so dazzling. "You thought about every step." "When you took the key, you thought about it." "When you recorded my schedule, you thought about it." "When you gave me the speaker, you also thought about it." She opened her mouth, but could not refute a word.
