Chen Lanfang turned pale with fright and gripped Xia Wei's hand tightly: "Weiwei, I really didn't steal the necklace! I don't want to be arrested by the police! Please think of a way to save me! Oh, and call Mr. Guo right away. Isn't he a big boss? He must have a way to save me."

Xia Wei frowned: "Since you didn't steal the necklace, there's no need to be afraid. Let the police handle everything."

Chen Lanfang glared at Xia Wei and said angrily, "Mr. Guo could have solved this with just a word, but you still made me go to the police station to suffer. You brat, are you deliberately trying to torture me?"

Xia Wei sneered: "They have no relation to us, why should they help us?"

"Xia Wei, you're such an ingrate!"

Xia Wei ignored Chen Lanfang's shouting and said to the sales assistant next to her, "Don't you want to call the police? Call them then."

The sales assistant sneered and took out her phone to call the police.

"etc!"

A cool, clear voice came from the crowd.

Xia Wei looked in the direction of the sound, and when she saw the other person, a look of joy appeared on her face.

Although the girl who stepped out of the crowd was wearing a baseball cap and a black mask, she still recognized who she was at a glance.

Bai Qianmo walked to the center of the crowd and glanced at the surveillance video playing back on the LCD screen.

The sales assistant was questioned in a clear, crisp voice: "You're adamant that this woman stole the necklace, but can the security camera footage prove it was her?"

The sales assistant glanced coldly at Bai Qianmo: "The necklace was in her pocket, which is enough to prove that she stole it."

Bai Qianmo said coldly, "Answer my question!"

The sales assistant paused for a moment, then met the girl's clear, cold eyes, and a chill ran through her: "It can't be proven from the video, but..."

"Since it cannot be proven, shouldn't there be three suspicious individuals at the scene of the theft?"

Yu Qianqian and Mu Sirou's expressions both changed.

Yu Qianqian said, "Do we look like people who stole necklaces?"

"A thief doesn't have 'I am a thief' written on his face."

Mu Sirou snorted lightly: "We wouldn't even look at a necklace that costs a few thousand yuan."

Because Bai Qianmo was disguised, Yu Qianqian and Mu Sirou had only met her once and did not recognize her at this moment.

Mu Sirou glanced at Bai Qianmo and asked, "You're not in cahoots with this thief, are you?"

Bai Qianmo scoffed and turned to look at Xia Wei: "If you are truly innocent, I suggest you call the police yourselves. The real thief should feel guilty right now."

Chen Lanfang wasn't stupid; she immediately understood.

Seeing that Xia Wei refused to ask Guo Qiheng for help, she had no choice but to save herself.

She pulled her phone out of her bag and glared at Yu Qianqian and Mu Sirou resentfully.

"Okay, I'll call the police. The innocent will clear their names. I want the police to clear my name."

A hint of panic flashed in Yu Qianqian and Mu Sirou's eyes, and they unconsciously suppressed their arrogance and smugness.

Bai Qianmo took in the expressions of the two of them and scoffed coldly.

Chen Lanfang called the police, and within ten minutes, several uniformed police officers arrived.

Chen Lanfang immediately knelt on the ground, crying out that she was wronged.

The police officers inquired about the situation and reviewed the surveillance footage from that time.

Based on the existing evidence, a criminal police officer said, "According to the surveillance footage, there were two people who had the opportunity to steal the necklace at the time: Chen Lanfang and Yu Qianqian. You were right next to the counter, so you are the most suspicious. Mu Sirou went around to Chen Lanfang's side from Yu Qianqian's left during the moment the necklace was stolen, which blocked the surveillance video at the time. Therefore, the necklace in Chen Lanfang's pocket is not enough to prove that Chen Lanfang stole it."

Yu Qianqian glanced nervously at Mu Sirou, clutching her purse tightly in one hand.

"Officer, I'm a regular customer at this store. The sales assistant can vouch for me."

The sales assistant next to her immediately nodded: "Miss Yu is a VIP customer of our store. She is a frequent visitor. With Miss Yu's means, she would not be interested in a necklace that costs several thousand yuan."

Yu Qianqian suppressed a hint of panic in her heart and put on a proud and aloof expression.

Mu Sirou said, "Officer, any piece of jewelry we wear is several times more expensive than this necklace. Who would want a cheap necklace? Besides, we had never seen this lady before we entered the store, so we have no reason to frame her."

After saying that, Mu Sirou glared angrily at Chen Lanfang: "Qianqian and I both saw her secretly put the necklace in her pocket. We are the best witnesses."

"You're talking nonsense! You've clearly framed me! Officer, I'm truly innocent! What grudge do these two bitches have against me to slander me like this? I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore, waaaah..." Chen Lanfang collapsed to the ground, wailing and crying.

The police were also stumped. The necklace was in Chen Lanfang's pocket, so it was highly likely that she stole it.

However, the on-site surveillance did not record the crime, and given Chen Lanfang's crying and commotion, there is indeed a possibility that she was wrongly accused.

This situation is quite tricky.

Bai Qianmo stared at the surveillance video for a while: "Officer, the surveillance footage has actually revealed who the thief who stole the necklace is."

The police officer looked at Bai Qianmo and said, "Tell me about it."

Bai Qianmo picked up the remote and started playing the video from the beginning. The video clip was 32 seconds long. Bai Qianmo immediately rewound to the 17-second mark. This part of the video was exactly when Mu Sirou walked from Yu Qianqian's side to behind Chen Lanfang, which blocked the surveillance footage.
