The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 485

"Sure, take your time."

Nora wasn't actually that tired. She scrolled on her phone for a while, noticing that the top headlines were still plastered with Michael Devereaux's scandal. Just as she was about to close the app, a trending hashtag caught her eye.

#TheVanishedFamilyOfFour

Nora's heart skipped a beat. She had a sinking feeling this hashtag was connected to their current case.

She tapped on it, and sure enough, the IP address of the media outlet that broke the news was traced right back to Luminport City.

"Nathan."

Nora couldn't help but call out his name.

"Hmm?"

Nathan turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"

Nora handed him her phone.

Nathan had the exact same reaction when he saw the trending topic.

He took the phone, his expression darkening instantly.

"I'll have someone handle this."

Nathan pulled out his own phone and made a call.

The person on the other end was shocked to hear the dismemberment case had made it to the trending list.

"We've been monitoring related keywords. There was no sign of this news earlier."

"Someone must have deliberately boosted it to the top."

The case was far from closed. Allowing these wild speculations to trend now would only incite public panic.

Especially with such a glaringly obvious IP address and the explicit mention of The Grand Harvest Buffet. Anyone in Luminport City who knew the restaurant would immediately put two and two together.

"Find a way to scrub it first." Nathan wasn't calling to place blame. After giving the order, he hung up.

"Who could have leaked this?" Nora asked curiously, seeing his expression soften slightly.

Most of the comments under the post were saying things like Nice story, bro, You really can find anything on the internet at night, huh, and What you miss during the day, haunts you at night.

Clearly, the public wasn't buying it.

Nora refreshed her screen, saw the hashtag had vanished, and let it go.

Once Nathan finished his work, she asked what he had been discussing with the officer earlier.

"It's a new type of surveillance camera developed in collaboration with a tech firm."

"It comes with a scanning feature. They've only manufactured ten prototypes so far, and they handed them over to our task force for a trial run."

"A scanning feature? What does that do?"

Nathan playfully pinched her nose. "It's too complicated to explain right now. Let's head back."

"Next time, I'll take you to see the footage it transmits. You'll understand then."

Nora was curious about the high-tech gadgets, but she didn't feel the need to press for details.
