They entered the apartment, which had already been designated as a "key inspection area" by the police. Gu Nianzhi then fast-forwarded the video and began playing at a normal speed when the surveillance footage indicated that it was evening.
After spending nearly a whole day at Seth's apartment, York and Ramona finally came out. They both carried many black trash bags, taking them out one by one. Throwing them into the back of the pickup truck, they then drove away into the dark night.
