"Behind the third paragraph there is a hidden file. At that time I was afraid of being discovered so I changed the file extension."The technical staff quickly restored it. The new audio clip is just over forty seconds long. Tran Vi's voice started. "Deputy General Qin, do we need to delete the gift company's entry and exit history?" Tan Vien said: "Don't touch it for now. Deleting too much will attract attention." Tran Vi asked: "So who sent the anonymous message?" Tan Vien was silent for a few seconds. Then said: "Not sure." "But the person who can get the photo is right next to us." In the recording, the sound of a chair rubbing was heard. Then Do Minh's voice rang out again. "Could it be someone arranged by the president?" Tan Vien said: "If it was his person, he wouldn't have waited until now to appear." This statement made the atmosphere in the meeting room change again. The president's eyes became even darker. He looked at Qin Yuan. "You doubt me?" Tan Yuan looked back calmly. "Now I suspect everyone." Manager Trinh said coldly: "I don't care about your internal fighting." "I only care whether our price list is finally leaked or not." The head of human resources immediately opened the server history. "It has been determined that there were two sent out." "One sent to the customer's mailbox." "One sent to the supposed person." related to a rival company." Nghiem Man suddenly asked: "Can you check the watermark of the sent document?" My heart moved slightly. To prevent leaks, each download of the company's price list automatically embeds a hidden watermark. Watermarks include download account, device, time, and authorization chain. Normally no one notices. But when something really happens, it is the most direct evidence. The HR manager immediately nodded. “Maybe.” She opened the appraisal tool and imported the attached file saved on the server. A few minutes later, watermark information appeared on the screen. The first document sent to the customer showed that the download account was Truong Lam. The facility is a small reception room. The time is eight minutes past four on Wednesday afternoon. Coinciding with the time Phuong Duyet used my card in the camera. But the watermark on the second document sent to the opponent stunned everyone. The download account is not me. It's not Phuong Duyet either. It's Tan Vien. The equipment is an executive office meeting room. Download time was three twenty-six minutes Wednesday afternoon. At that time, my report had not yet begun. Tan Vien's face completely changed. Officer Cao looked at the screen. "Qin Yuan, how do you explain this document?" Qin Yuan's throat moved. Before he could speak, my phone lit up again. An anonymous number sent a sentence: Don't let Tan Vien bear it all alone. At twenty-six past three, he was not in the executive office conference room. I gave the message to police officer Cao. Policeman Cao finished reading and frowned even more. "It's this number again." The Chairman asked in a low voice: "What is the content?" Policeman Cao did not answer directly. He looked at the head of the human resources department. “Checked the camera of the executive office conference room at 3:26 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon.” The head of the human resources department looked pale. “That camera footage has not been taken before.” She quickly opened the system. This time, the image is not dark. At 3:21 on a Wednesday afternoon, the executive office conference room was empty. Twenty-four minutes past three, someone pushed the door open and walked in. He was wearing a dark suit and an employee ID card. Not Tan Vien. It's Tham Nam. Chairman's secretary, Tham Nam. In his hand he held an authorization card. After entering, he did not sit in his seat. Which goes straight to the computer next to the main screen. At three twenty-six minutes, he logged into the system and downloaded the customer price list. At three twenty-eight minutes, he copied the document in

a silver USB. At three thirty, he logged out of his account and pushed his chair back to its original position. The whole process only lasts six minutes. No one in the meeting room spoke up. Tham Nam stood close to the wall, his face as white as if blood had been drained from him. The chairman's voice was low. "Tham Nam." Tham Nam's lips trembled. "It's not what I wanted to do." Police Officer Cao asked: "Who told you to do it?" Tham Nam looked at Tan Vien. Tan Vien looked at him coldly. "You better think carefully." Tham Nam looked at the president again. The chairman's face was also extremely unsightly. He was sandwiched between the two, like a rope about to break. Finally, he collapsed, holding his head. "It was Deputy General Qin who told me to download." Tan Vien immediately said: "I didn't do it." Tham Nam cried: "You said the president wanted to see the price list but didn't have time to complete the approval procedures in the system." "You told me to use your authorization chain to enter the executive office meeting room." "But I didn't know that you would then send the documents to the rival company." Police Officer Cao asked: "Where is the USB?" Tham Nam's voice trembled. "I delivered to Tran Vi." Tran Vi suddenly raised her head. "You're lying!" Tham Nam pointed at her. "It's you." "You took the brown paper bag from the coffee shop downstairs." Nghiem Man immediately said: "It's the scene in the anonymous photo." Tran Vi's face gradually turned white.
