Chapter 480 Time
The Asian restaurant in Cheng Ling's memory and the lighting mall next door to his home all appeared on the screen. But they all passed by like a fleeting glimpse.
Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of the sign at the entrance of the flavor restaurant.
How was it filmed?
Is the camera tied to a pet dog’s neck?
Or a remote-controlled four-wheel drive equipped with a camera?
This shooting instrument, which looks like a children's toy truck, can be connected to a mobile phone APP for operation. The camera angle on the roof can be adjusted through software.
Most of the video footage is the legs of pedestrians, bicycle wheels, street flower beds, street lamp posts... and garbage.
Sanitary conditions on the streets of Paris have always been poor.
These past few years have been particularly bad.
Randomly discarded garbage bags, lunch boxes, and packaging bags crowd the trash cans.
There are even many homeless and gypsy houses - simple tents at the foot of the wall.
There are yellow urine stains around the street lamps, and the walls are painted with chaotic and exaggerated graffiti by "artists"...
However, the pedestrians in the video don’t care much about this.
Cheng Ling remembered that the sidewalk on the street was covered with huge stone bricks. There were many cracks and uneven brick surfaces due to the age.
Also, the camera shakes without any rhythm to speak of.
If it is a pet, it will swing in a regular and rhythmic manner.
Therefore, Cheng Ling prefers the latter - the photographer most likely used some kind of remote-controlled movable shooting device to shoot.
The video has no sound - but Cheng Ling can tell from the expressions on the pedestrians' faces that they are in a good mood.
It can be seen from the clothing that the temperature was suitable when shooting.
There are people performing on the streets, people selling flowers with flower baskets, people talking and laughing, people talking on the phone, people covering their mouths and coughing, people drinking coffee, people skateboarding...
It all seemed so peaceful and normal, without any doubts.
The video lasted 7 minutes and 56 seconds.
Alexei pressed the pause button.
"Sister, the second video has finished playing."
Alexey raised her chest and raised her head, looking like she was waiting for Cheng Ling to examine her.
This is her hometown, and she takes it very seriously.
Seeing her head held high, Cheng Ling couldn't help softening the corners of her mouth: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
"Reporting to the big sister, I only extracted one useful key information: the shooting time. This video was shot in the autumn of 2019, which should be after October 9."
This was beyond Cheng Ling's expectation.
Cheng Ling did not get such precise time information from this video.
She recalled it quickly, not realizing that she had missed anything.
Cheng Ling leaned forward slightly with a serious expression. He looked at Alexai and said, "How did you determine the time? Tell me."
"At 8 minutes and 23 seconds (referring to the complete video, plus four minutes of the first video), a woman wearing a short dress appears in the upper right corner of the video. The skirt is woven with black, white and red plaids Cloth. Several of her companions were surrounding her."
Cheng Ling nodded.
She traced the image back through her mind.
The video only captured the area below the chest, not the faces of these people.
But Cheng Ling could conclude that the woman in the plaid dress Alexei was talking about was the central focus of her small group.
You can tell from your standing posture.
Everyone's knees were pointed towards her.
——This kind of body language is an affirmation of her identity or interest in a certain topic she is talking about.
Alexey continued: "The skirt she is wearing is the dress released at Chanel's 2020 spring and summer haute couture collection."
At this point, Cheng Ling understood.
There are only a few top international brands.
One of the most eye-catching brands is Chanel, which has two haute couture ready-to-wear shows every year.
——The press conference in March released the autumn and winter fashions of that year.
——The conference in October will release the second spring and summer fashion.
Press conferences are one of the opportunities for dignitaries to show their status.
Generally, powerful people can get the brand's high-end ready-to-wear clothing on the day of the ready-to-wear launch, or the next day.
——The shooting location of this video is Paris.
Chanel's ready-to-wear show was held in Paris.
What can attract women to admire is definitely not the out-of-season clothes from last year or the year before—
It can only be clothes that have just been released at the conference.
If you make a bolder idea, the time should be accurate to October 8 and 9, 2019.
"Great, Alexei, I really didn't see this." Cheng Ling said frankly.
"That's because the eldest sister doesn't like chasing luxury goods. I'm superficial..." Alexai rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
Cheng Ling shook his head: "Alixai, there is no distinction between high and low knowledge. Knowledge related to agriculture, astronomy, physics, technology, finance, and luxury goods are all knowledge. It's just that people are on different tracks."
This reminded Cheng Ling, and she decided to find time to catch up on her knowledge about luxury goods.
——Joint Association, either rich or noble.
These people must know all about luxury goods.
She must know more than her enemy to be more likely to win in future confrontations.
