After a flash marriage, the abstinent president dotes on his wife
Chapter 113 The Thief Is Someone Else
Hearing this, Manwei's face changed. He knew that Mr. Mike was very dissatisfied with this matter. He could only respond with a fake smile, but he felt a chill in his heart.
He realized that this incident might bring him a lot of trouble, but he also understood that now he could only try his best to make up for his mistakes and regain Mr. Mike's favor.
The lady just now has made it very clear that if her personal belongings are to be checked, then everyone present will have to be checked.
Mr. Mac's words were powerful and pushed the atmosphere to a new climax. He turned around and stared at Manwei with a sharp gaze, as if waiting for his response.
Manwei's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect Mr. Mike to defend Xing Nian so firmly.
He felt that his situation had become very embarrassing. On the one hand, he was eager to find the lost jewelry to maintain the reputation of the jewelry exhibition; on the other hand, he did not want to offend the VIP customers and Mr. Mike who were present.
At this moment, Manwe can be said to be in a difficult situation.
He knew very well that if he refused Mr. Mike's request, he would completely lose Mr. Mike's trust and support, and might even be kicked out of the jewelry industry.
If you agree to check everyone's personal belongings, even if it offends some VIP customers, at least you can save some face.
After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, Manwe finally made a decision.
He gritted his teeth and ordered his bodyguards to check all the belongings of everyone present. Although this decision was difficult, he had no way out.
Although the people present were dissatisfied, they could only choose to accept it silently in view of Mr. Mike's lofty status in the jewelry industry.
They blamed Manwë for the unpleasant decision.
At this moment, Manwe had no choice but to bite the bullet and personally supervise the bodyguards in the search.
He hopes to find the lost jewelry on Xing Nian's body to restore his image in Mr. Mike's heart.
However, reality gave him a cruel blow.
The bodyguards emptied out all the contents of Xing Nian's bag and searched carefully several times, but still could not find any trace of the jewelry.
Manwe went into battle himself in disbelief and searched several times, but the result was still disappointing.
However, at this moment, a bodyguard suddenly shouted: "Found it! The lost jewels are here!"
Manwei walked over quickly and saw the dazzling jewel lying quietly in Mrs. Wei's bag.
Mrs. Wei's face turned pale instantly. She waved her hands in panic and said, "It wasn't me. I don't know how the jewelry got into my bag."
Mr. Manwei looked at the scene in front of him, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. He said with all his strength: "Mrs. Wei, now that you have caught the criminal red-handed, what else do you have to say?" After that, he ordered the bodyguard to take Mrs. Wei to the police station.
Just as the bodyguard was about to step forward and carry Mrs. Wei away, Xing Nian suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Manwei, wait."
She calmly analyzed, "The lost jewelry was found in Mrs. Wei's bag, but it cannot be confirmed that she stole the jewelry."
Mrs. Wei looked at Xing Nian with confusion, not understanding why she was speaking for herself.
Xing Nian smiled slightly and continued, "I think everyone present has seen the surveillance. Before and after the jewelry was lost, Mrs. Wei was not seen near the display case. Now the lost jewelry was found in Mrs. Wei's bag. Either the person who stole the jewelry is in cahoots with Mrs. Wei, or someone else stole the jewelry and put the jewelry into her bag without Mrs. Wei's knowledge in order to frame her."
After hearing Xing Nian's words, everyone present re-examined the surveillance video.
Indeed, Mrs. Wei did not appear near the display case during the period before and after the jewelry was lost.
Mr. Manwei also realized the complexity of the problem. He frowned and remained silent.
Xing Nian picked up the jewelry, calmly held it in front of a wealthy lady next to her, and instructed her to smell whether there was any other smell on the jewelry.
The rich lady did as she was told half-believingly. After sniffing it carefully, she frowned and said, "Why do I seem to smell a very faint smell of alcohol on this jewelry? The smell is too faint. If you don't smell it carefully, you can't even detect it."
Mrs. Fu's words attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at Xing Nian, waiting for her explanation.
Xing Nian nodded and explained, "That's because the person who touched the jewelry smelled of alcohol, and even though it's been a while since the jewelry was lost, the smell of alcohol still hasn't dissipated. This means that the person who stole the jewelry had a lot of alcohol on his hands, which caused the strong smell of alcohol on his hands to stain the jewelry when he stole it."
Everyone thought Xing Nian's analysis made sense, and they all began to smell the smell of alcohol on Mrs. Wei, but none of them found any.
At this time, someone suggested checking the surveillance video to see if there were any suspicious persons.
The surveillance video of the missing jewels was played in a loop, and someone noticed that a sommelier passed by the display case and stood there for a few minutes before and after the jewels were lost. Moreover, after the sommelier left, the jewels disappeared.
Upon seeing this, the person in charge of the venue immediately sent someone to bring over David, the wine waiter shown in the surveillance video.
When he was brought into the exhibition hall, in addition to Xing Nian, Qi Anran's expression also changed slightly. She recognized that David was the staff member who had been holding on to her arm yesterday.
When David saw Xing Nian, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he did not hide his dissatisfaction with Xing Nian. He stared at her as if he wanted to see through her.
Mr. Mike walked up to David with a warm smile on his face, but his tone was a bit serious: "Young man, can you tell me what you were doing standing in front of this display case for the past few minutes in the surveillance video?"
David glanced at the surveillance screen, then at the people present, with a hint of an unruly smile on his face, but he remained calm and said, "I just thought the jewelry was particularly beautiful, so I stood in front of it for a few minutes longer. Just because I stood in front of this display case for a while longer, do you suspect that the theft of the jewelry has something to do with me?"
Xing Nian smiled slightly, walked forward and said, "From the beginning to the end, no one has ever said that the loss of the jewels had anything to do with you. However, you are so anxious to defend yourself that it seems that the loss of the jewels really has something to do with you."
David's face froze. He didn't expect Xing Nian to point out his nervousness so directly.
He tried to refute, but Xing Nian went on: "Moreover, based on our observations just now, there is a faint smell of alcohol on the jewelry, and as a wine waiter, you are likely to have this smell on your hands. In addition, you appeared in front of the display case around the time when the jewelry was lost. These coincidences add up to make it hard not to be suspicious."
David's face became even uglier, and he tried to defend himself, but Xing Nian's words had already attracted the attention of everyone present. They began to re-examine David and became suspicious of him.
