Chapter 1330 The Outcome Is Death
There was a tinge of brittleness in Ichika’s usual chirpy voice as she explained.
Yet she had explained distinctly about her findings on the secretly recorded video. Her detailed observation and extensive knowledge of videography were impressive.
The employee was stunned.
This girl is good! Merely a glimpse of the video, and she already has it analyzed to every little detail.
The employee was thoroughly impressed.
The other employees working in the president’s office were bewildered by the appearance of Ichika since it was a sensitive time for her. Hence, the moment Ichika stepped into the office, everyone’s eyes were on her.
“Ms. Minamoto, you—”
“Everyone stay silent. Our Ichika has a mystery to solve.”
The female employee accompanying Ichika hushed the rest.
And so, under the scrutiny of the rest of the employees, Ichika stood there scanning the office. They were surprised to see the young woman wearing a determined and solemn expression on her face.
Ichika had a few positions in mind judging from the angle of the video. She walked to each position to verify her suspicion.
This one is not quite right.
This second one doesn’t really fit the bill either.
She hit the jackpot at the third position. She even posed as though she was recording a video from that angle.
“It’s here!”
Once she confirmed that the spot was correct, she spun around to glance at the work desk behind her.
The rest of the employees were shocked when they saw her location.
“Isn’t that Mr. Luke’s desk?”
“That’s right. Ms. Minamoto, that’s Mr. Luke’s desk!”
Everyone was telling and reminding Ichika simultaneously.
However, Ichika wasn’t listening to any of them. Instead, she was searching Luke’s desk. Soon after, she found a camera in the drawer.
Oh my god!
The entire office was in an uproar.
At that moment, Akiko finally returned from an offsite errand.
The moment she stepped into the office and saw the scene, her face paled. She immediately crossed the office to Ichika.
“Ms. Minamoto, what are you doing? How could you touch other’s things without the owner’s consent?”
Crash!
The camera in Ichika’s hand fell onto the floor with a well-placed smack from Akiko.
Everyone was stunned by Akiko’s over-the-top reaction. Everything had happened so quickly that none of them could grasp the situation. They were pondering what the two women were doing.
Ichika stared at the camera that had smashed into pieces upon contact with the floor. By the looks of it, it couldn’t be used anymore. She shifted her gaze from the fallen camera and focused it on Akiko.
At that point, Luke came over after hearing all the commotion.
“What’s this?”
He was dumbfounded at the entire scene. Anger surged through him when his gaze landed on the camera on the floor.
Who the f**k did this?
I can’t even explain myself at this point. How can anyone believe my words when the evidence is so damning?
“Ms. Minamoto, I—”
“Calm down, Mr. Luke. I know you didn’t do this. Can you do me a favor and bring Mr. Akiyama here?”
He was surprised by her request.
She hadn’t blamed or accused him of being the perpetrator.
Instead, she requested him to bring Solomon over.
Luke stood there in a daze, blinking in disbelief for a while. Soon snapping out of his thoughts, he left the office again to bring Solomon over.
“What’s wrong? What happened? Why is everyone here?”
Solomon tried to grasp the situation after having arrived at the scene.
Pushing the office door open, the first thing he saw was the entire office staff standing there, gawking. He was not happy about that.
Soon, a petite woman squeezed through the crowd and rushed toward him.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Akiyama. I know our earlier meeting didn’t end on a happy note, but because of that, someone spread a nasty rumor on the Internet. My family has now become the butt of every joke in Terrandya.”
“What?”
Solomon narrowed his eyes.
“Who did it? I was in a meeting earlier, so I wasn’t aware of the news.”
Ichika nodded her head immediately. “I understand. Hence, the reason for me asking you to come here is to act as a witness to see whether I have done something to disgrace the Minamoto family name.”
Then, she pointed toward the broken camera on the floor.
Solomon questioned, “What’s that?”
Ichika answered, “This is a camera, which Akiko smacked from my hands just now. It’s broken, but that’s fine. Now let me show you the perpetrator who did all this to me.”
She then picked the camera up from the floor under everyone’s scrutiny.
What is she trying to do?
Everyone simply stared in confusion.
Ichika set the camera on the desk, then took out a piece of cling film and wrapped the camera with it. Finally, she unwound the cling film, setting it flat on the desk, and poured a liquid she had brought with her onto the film.
Shortly after, an astonishing scene unfolded before the crowd’s amazed gaze. Many distinctive fingerprints emerged on the cling film.
“What is this?”
“Mr. Akiyama, please be patient. Let me input it into the system and have a quick cross-check against Jetroina’s system,” informed Ichika calmly.
She took some photos of the fingerprints, fired up her computer then swiftly hacked into Jetroina’s security system. Then, she uploaded the fingerprints.
Within three minutes, the results were out. One of the prints belonged to Ichika, while the others all belonged to Akiko.
The entire room fell into a dead silence.
In actuality, for someone of Ichika’s status to crush Akiko was as easy as a flick of the fingers.
