"Did I say anything wrong? These things happen all the ti on TV! If you don’t find my diamond today, I’ll ruin your store’s reputation! I want to see how you can continue to operate in this city!"
The woman looked at Wang Li, then arrogantly glanced at Qin Mu.
Qin Mu’s eyes moved, suddenly catching the key point, and then stared at her sharply: "Miss Lu, right? Miss Lu just said she wants to ruin our store’s reputation? Is it okay for to suspect now that you’re causing trouble here not because you actually lost a diamond, but because a competitor wants to ruin our store?"
Qin Mu really suspected that; many competitors indeed play such low tricks.
"Miss Qin, this Miss Lu isn’t in the clothing business; she’s currently unemployed."
The officer explained to her politely.
Qin Mu then glanced at the officer, feeling even more puzzled.
So what exactly is going on?
Did her diamond ring really get lost in the store?
"How about we check the surveillance footage first? Apart from the dressing room, the store is covered from all angles without blind spots, so if our staff pulled anything, it should be easy to find out."
Qin Mu suggested.
The officer nodded, and then except for one staff mber left to watch the door, a group of people majestically headed to Qin Mu’s office. Wang Li went over to rewind the surveillance to when Miss Lu arrived, and Miss Lu stood aside haughtily, her chest moving slightly with every breath, while the others were tense, truly afraid that this woman’s item was lost in their store. Such a woman is really not to be ssed with.
But if it’s lost in the store, unless soone else picked it up, it should definitely be found; the staff were relatively confident.
However, the fact is...
A custor did bend down after entering the store, but she was tying her shoelace.
Since Miss Lu ca to the store, only four custors in total arrived. On this beautiful rainy day, one ca alone, took a pre-reserved gown, tied a shoelace, and left; the other three, being regular custors of the store, happened to co by as the rain started, seeking shelter, sitting in the lounge area playing on their phones, and left once the rain stopped.
The ones remaining were Miss Lu and her bodyguard.
As for the staff, nobody bent down from beginning to end, so they were eliminated.
The officer watched for a while with no leads and stepped out to take a phone call when his phone rang. Within a few minutes, Yang Bo entered the store in uniform.
The group was still standing there, with Miss Lu feeling agitated. Upon spotting Yang Bo entering the office, she imdiately squeezed through the crowd: "Yang Bo! You’re finally here! I’m being bullied to death!"
The woman tugged at Yang Bo’s sleeves with both hands, pleading her grievances.
Yang Bo looked down at her briefly, and then raised his eyes to Qin Mu: "Are you alright?"
Qin Mu felt unsure initially at seeing him, but after catching his gaze, shook her head, recalling Yang Bo’s always-on-call nature, suggesting he wouldn’t blindly take sides.
"Did you lose the ring my mom gave you?"
Yang Bo asked her softly, looking down.
"It wasn’t intentional; it was still on my hand when I entered the store. But I was afraid it would get scratched when I tried on clothes, so I put it on the sofa, and then it was nowhere to be seen."
The woman beca more pitiful, her voice much eker.
Qin Mu and the others quietly listened by the side, but couldn’t help but ntally gripe, so it was in the sofa area. In that case, why did they trouble themselves earlier? Shouldn’t they have just searched the sofa area directly?
The woman didn’t ntion a single word earlier and not only gave irrelevant answers but also blad the staff.
"Did the surveillance show anything?"
Yang Bo pushed her hands away from his wrists and walked into the crowd.
"Not yet, the surveillance shows Miss Lu didn’t put anything besides her bag on our sofa."
Wang Li shook her head, still staring at the screen, and upon hearing Miss Lu say the ring was placed on the sofa, she rewinded to check, but didn’t see that scene Miss Lu described.
"Adjust the surveillance to when Miss Lu entered the store."
Yang Bo bent over, with one hand gently resting on the edge of the table, the other on the back of Wang Li’s chair, and his sharp eyes fixed on the screen.
