Even with the exaggerated hyper-realistic mask, a person's height, build, and gait don't change.
West stared at the video for a long time but couldn't recognize the person.
Compounded by the fact that it was night, the footage wasn't perfectly clear, and the person had deliberately concealed their identity, even the high-definition lens couldn't capture a perfect image.
At first, he had suspected Winnie, but the person in the video was clearly taller and heavier than Winnie, and his walk was completely different.
So, it wasn't Winnie.
"Mr. Holt, Miss Holt, any discoveries? Is this person a Tasting Room employee?" Kenneth asked, noticing West staring so intensely at the phone his eyes seemed glued to the screen.
From the looks of it, Mr. Holt didn't recognize the person; otherwise, he would have said something by now.
Sure enough, in the next second, West shook his head in frustration. "I don't recognize him. He doesn't seem to be an employee of The Tasting Room."
West didn't state it as a certainty. It was possible someone had disguised their build, and a person's walk could be faked.
Janina also shook her head, indicating she didn't recognize him either.
Although she knew all of The Tasting Room's employees, she didn't know them well. She had only met all of them at the grand opening.
"Take a closer look. Did you notice anything particularly unusual?" Kenneth prompted.
Janina rewound the video and played it again in slow motion.
The man in black found the service door with practiced ease, which meant he was extremely familiar with The Tasting Room.
The lock on the service door was reinforced, yet the man opened it effortlessly and quickly. That was strange.
Janina looked at West. "West, besides you, who else has a key to the service door?"
