Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2451

Following the young officer's prompt, Shannon zoomed in on the video at just the right moment.

As the video enlarged, everyone noticed an unintentionally captured scene from the building across the street.

Pearl's cat litter box was placed near a window, and her camera angle had inadvertently included the neighboring building in the background. But this usually wouldn't be noticeable unless someone zoomed in on purpose, especially since the video's focus wasn't on the window or the opposite building.

As Shannon zoomed in to the maximum, the officers on duty and the livestream audience could see a murder scene, despite the blurry image onscreen.

Pearl hadn't noticed anything unusual when she posted the video, but the man in the opposite building had come across the clip and noticed it.

The officers shifted uncomfortably and felt goosebumps rise on their skin. "Could the person in the opposite building be…"

Before they could finish, Shannon revealed the answer. "The assassin in the recent murder case you've been investigating."

She didn't give the officers much time to process the shock and promptly reminded them. "You should arrest him now."

He was likely still outside Pearl's apartment.

Shannon's words jolted the stunned livestream audience and officers. Everyone snapped out of their daze.

It was a weekend, and the police station only had a few officers on duty. Before springing into immediate action, they called their superiors for backup.

Pearl would never have expected a random video of her cat's poop schedule to almost attract an assassin's attention.

Upon realizing that the video had captured part of the crime scene from the opposite building, the man panicked. His face wasn't clearly shown, but he feared sharp-eyed internet users might spot clues in the background and notify the police, so he made the bold decision to track down the owner of the video.

Pearl was curious, but she was too terrified to tag along during the arrest. Instead, she chose to stay behind at the police station with her cat.

She kept the video call with her best friend connected the whole time, and the livestream audience waited with her.

His reply came swiftly. "No need."

Olivia typed furiously before deleting the message. Then, she rewrote something with a slightly pitiful tone. "Do you look down on me that much? You won't even have dinner with me…"

After a pause, she added, "Fine then… I won't bother you anymore."

She'd been making moves on her for two years, yet received no response, so she was going to give up now. She had her pride too.

No reply came from the phone screen. Just as she thought Skylar was going to ghost her again, Skylar's message appeared. "Fine. You pick the restaurant."

Olivia was utterly baffled.

He'd agreed to dinner, but why did she feel a little sad?
