"Xiaofeng! Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was so excited, I didn't even have time to put on my makeup!"

Zhao Xiaogu walked into the conference room with a joyful expression, complaining as she went. She then closed the door, but when she entered the conference room, she found that there were two police officers, a man and a woman, sitting near the corner of the room, staring at her with disbelief in their eyes.

Zhao Xiaogu immediately stuck out her tongue, embarrassed, and said, "Ah? There are other people? Sorry, sorry!"

Guan Feng waved his hand helplessly and said, "Alright, with this unique opening, I don't think this questioning can be serious anymore. Let me introduce you. These are my two colleagues, Li Xiangdong and Huang Lili. They are here mainly to investigate the missing diamond case, and we would like to ask for your cooperation in our investigation."

Zhao Xiaogu shook hands with the two of them warmly.

Li Xiangdong said excitedly, "My name is Li Xiangdong, and I'm your fan."

Huang Lili also greeted him warmly, saying, "My name is Huang Lili. My whole family are your fans. My parents love watching your dramas."

Zhao Xiaogu expressed her gratitude.

Seeing this, Guan Feng reminded him, "Xiang Dong, didn't you want an autograph? Here, this is a rare opportunity."

Li Xiangdong asked suspiciously, "Captain, didn't you say we'd wait until the case was finished?"

Guan Feng said, "That was before! But if the opening remarks are like this, do you think it can be serious? Besides, Sister Xiao Gu is the pride of Hongcheng, so it's okay for her to be treated specially."

Li Xiangdong excitedly took the poster out of his bag and handed it over, saying, "You, you can sign this side!"

Zhao Xiaogu took the pen and asked, "Here? Okay, then I'll sign it."

As he spoke, he wrote the three characters "Zhao Xiaogu" on it in a flamboyant style, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Xiangdong asked, "Can we sign another one?"

Zhao Xiaogu laughed and said, "You're Xiaofeng's colleagues, what's wrong with signing a few more copies?"

Li Xiangdong regretted, "But I didn't bring any extra posters! Oh, I've got it! You can sign them on my T-shirt, and I won't have to wash it, right?"

Reminded by Li Xiangdong, Huang Lili also took out her notebook and asked, "Could you sign this notebook for me?"

Zhao Xiaogu nodded and said, "Of course!"

Then he started signing his name again.

Two minutes later.

Guan Feng said, "Alright, the autograph session is over. Now let's get down to business. Sister Xiao Gu, we may be familiar with each other, but I won't hold back on my questions. Don't even think about lying, or we'll handle this strictly by the book!"

Zhao Xiaogu sat up straight and said, "I know, go ahead and ask."

Guan Feng asked, "Name? Age? Place of origin?"

Zhao Xiaogu said, "Zhao Xiaogu, 26 years old, from Hongcheng."

Guan Feng asked, "Is it from the ID card?"

Zhao Xiaogu said, "Yes, do you want to see it? I'll have Sister Hong bring it over."

Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "No need! According to our understanding, you wore this lost diamond back to the dressing room privately, is that true?"

Zhao Xiaogu thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes! But there's nothing I can do about it. It's very troublesome to take off this necklace. I have to go back to the dressing room and take off my outer clothes before I can remove it. By the way, it was Sister Hong who helped me take it off."

Guan Feng asked, "So you didn't enter the locker room alone?"

Zhao Xiaogu thought for a moment and said, "Well, there were two of us when we went in, but Sister Hong came out after she took off the necklace, so I was alone afterwards. What? You don't suspect me of stealing this diamond, do you?"

Guan Feng said, "Before any clues are found, every person involved in the case is a suspect."

Zhao Xiaogu said, "I understand your approach to the case, but I would also like to defend myself. First, with my income, there is absolutely no need for me to steal this diamond. Xiaofeng, Captain Guan, you can look into it. Last month, I turned down two advertisements because I felt that their products were not conducive to the physical and mental health of teenagers. The value of those two advertisements alone exceeded that of this diamond."

Guan Feng asked, "Are there any other reasons?"

Zhao Xiaogu thought for a moment and said, "If I really wanted to steal, there would be plenty of opportunities. Why did I have to do it today?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "We also believe Miss Zhao's statement. However, as long as the real suspect is not found, the suspicion on Miss Zhao cannot be cleared. We will probably have to ask you to come in for questioning soon. Please don't find it troublesome, Miss Zhao."

Zhao Xiaogu laughed and said, "What's the trouble? You'll be the one taking the statements anyway."

Guan Feng: "???"

Li Xiangdong: "???"

Huang Lili: "???"

Guan Feng coughed twice, reminding her, "Miss Zhao, please be serious. We are conducting an inquiry."

Zhao Xiaogu then remembered that there was a camera on the other side, so she quickly sat up straight and said, "Okay, I won't mess with you anymore. Do you have any other questions?"

Guan Feng asked, "Regarding the missing diamond, do you have any suspects? Or is there anything unusual about today compared to usual?"

Zhao Xiaogu thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I do think there's something strange about today. Usually when I change the necklace, Liu Qiang and the security guard are waiting at the door to prevent any accidents during the handover. But today when I came out with the necklace, neither of them was there. That's the only unusual thing."

Guan Feng frowned and asked, "Are you sure? Is it only today? Or does it happen often before?"

Zhao Xiaogu thought about it carefully and said, "It has happened before, but only two or three times at most. They usually wait at the door with their suitcases. I put them in as soon as I change to prevent any accidents. It is rare for the two of them to leave at the same time. At least in the past half month of filming, it has only happened once or twice."

Guan Feng said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Zhao. Lily, write down this point of doubt."

Huang Lili said, "Okay."

Guan Feng continued to ask questions.

After a short while, seeing that they had asked enough questions, he said, "Alright, that's enough for today's questions. Miss Zhao, please go back now. If you remember any other clues, please feel free to contact us."

Zhao Xiaogu asked, "So, are you done asking questions now?"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhao Xiaogu then invited, "In that case, it's not illegal for me to invite you over for a chat, is it? And your two colleagues, why don't you join us for dinner too?"

Guan Feng shook his head and said, "There's still one person whose statement hasn't been taken. I'm afraid I won't have time today."

Zhao Xiaogu said disappointedly, "Okay, then I'll contact you again when you're done. I'm going back now."

Guan Feng nodded, watched the other person leave, and then looked at Li Xiangdong and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet this Liu Qiang first."
