Luke frowned, and his gaze turned sharp.

If the signal jammer was in the mansion and close to the cameras, how did the thief manage to sneak it
in?
Bianca noticed the grim expression on her husband''s face and could guess that he was thinking about
the incident. She did not want to disturb him, so she said softly, "I''ll bring Lanie upstairs." "Mm. I''ll get
the caretaker to bring breakfast upstairster." Luke kissed her forehead and went to the couch.
Bianca held Lanie''s hand and said softly, "Let''s go upstairs." "Alright, Mommy." Lanie still looked a little
weak. The two of them went up the stairs.
After seeing his wife and son go up the stairs, Luke went into the kitchen to tell the caretaker to prepare
breakfast for them, then walked around the living room. "Why are you so sure?" "It''s like this, Mr.
Crawford. The technicians have managed to restore the footage from outside the mansion, but they
haven''t managed to do so for the footage within the mansion. The footage gets harder to restore the
closer it is to the signal jammer, so the only exnation is that the signal jammer had been ced
inside the mansion. Also, we''ve found out that all the cameras were disrupted at the same time, but the
intensities were different. It means that the signal jammer remained a constant distance to the
cameras," the manager of the securitypany exined.
Luke instantly understood that the thief did not bring the signal jammer in. All evidence pointed to the
fact that someone had ced the signal jammer in the mansion in advance.
"Mr. Griffin," he called out.
"Yes, Sir," the butler stepped up to Luke and waited for orders.
"Have there been any strangers in the house? Including maintenance workers and others," Luke
asked.
"There were no strangers in the house recently, Sir. There are also no utility maintenance records
either," the butler replied.
"Are you sure?" Luke nced at him.
"Yes, I am sure, Sir. Thest scheduled maintenance to the electrical systems was six months ago.
There were a few minor repairs after that, but the most recent one was five months ago. I have
recorded them in a notebook," the butler said determinedly.
"Give me the notebook." Luke did not want to forgo any leads.
If the signal jammer had been installed beforehand, everyone who stepped in or out of the mansion
was a suspect. He would have to investigate them all.
The butler handed him the notebook.
Luke flipped through the pages and asked, "Is the signal jammer found?" "No. We''ve tried to detect it
with specialized equipment, but we didn''t find anything. The thief must have brought it away when they
left,” the manager replied.
Luke frowned. "If he took it away and the signal jammer wasn''t turned off, the effects should be seen in
the disrupted footage, right?" "Yes, but he might have done something..." the manager exined.
"What is it?" Luke was relentless in his questioning.
"The technology is already avable overseas, but we''ll still have to investigate thoroughly before
reaching a conclusion." The manager was already breaking out in a sweat from the questioning.
"If the technology exists, then you can''t say that the signal jammer is in the house." Luke closed the
notebook after finding no one suspicious.
"Well..." The manager was at a loss for words.
"The signal jammer is in the house. Find it whatever it takes," Luke ordered.
The manager was at his wit''s end. If the technicians could not find the signal jammer with their most
sophisticated equipment, what else could he do?
He could not afford to offend the Crawfords. Their reputation would be affected if they did not solve the
problem.
"Alright, we''ll do a thorough search again," the manager could only promise that.
Luke handed the notebook to the butler. "Give me a copy of all the details inside." "Yes, Sir." The butler
went away with the notebook.
Allison came down the stairs. She was flustered when she saw the technicians that were still there.
She had been eavesdropping on the situation downstairs and knew that they had restored the security
footage in the garden. If they were lucky, they would restore the security in the living room too.
If that were the case...
Allison became afraid. She decided to go to the bankter to transfer the money to Jon, then tell him
not to fence the stolen antiques first.
"You''re back, Luke," she said. She stole a nce at the technician''sputer and could only see
static.
"Mm." Luke nodded. His eyes were transfixed on theputer screen, which only made the technician
even more nervous.
"Is Lanie feeling better?" Allison asked out of concern.
"His fever has subsided. He''s resting upstairs now." Luke did not look at her.
Allison pretended to look relieved. "That''s good to know. Whatever happenedst night, I didn''t sleep
well because of it. I''m going home."
Luke did not stop her.
However, the manager of the securitypany said, '' Please wait a moment, Madam."
Allison''s heart skipped a beat. She turned around and pretended to look impatient. "What is it?"
The manager knew that she was Luke''s mother. After all, her tantrum toward the public during T
Corporation''s crisis was all over the papers.
"Madam, when we checked the footage before the incident, we found that you were in the living room.
I’d like to ask if you noticed anything strange. It''s a very small item, something the size of a wireless
headset or a security camera."
Allison''s heart was beating very fast when she heard those questions. She barely managed to hold her
composure. "What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I’ve done something in my own house?" "No,
please don''t be mistaken. I''m only asking if you had seen something like a signal jammer," the
manager replied with a smile, trying to be as courteous as possible. They suspected that the jammer
was located within the house, but they could not find it. They might as well ask her.
"No, no, why would I have seen it? How strange. Are you suspecting that I''m the one who installed the
signal jammer?" Allison''s voice became louder to hide her anxiety.
"We wouldn''t dare to do that. Just asking." The manager was wondering why Allison was giving him
such a hard time.
Allison grunted coldly. She noticed that Luke''s expression did not change, which meant that he
probably did not suspect anything.
"If I knew anything, then there''s no need for you or the police. The audacity!
" She mocked.
After that, she turned around and left the house.
Luke frowned as he looked at his mother''s back. Even if she might be offended, Luke thought that she
was overreacting.
"I didn''t mean to suspect your mother, Mr. Crawford," the manager exined.
