☆, Chapter 110: Either Rich or Noble
The store manager briefly explained the whole story and gave Gu Yan a helpless look.
Although he was on Gu Yan's side in his heart, he could not ignore Zheng Tian's request as he was a guest.
This matter must be explained.
After listening to this, Gu Yan asked calmly, "Where are the bag and bracelet?"
The store manager quickly took two items from the counter.
The bag was indeed Shi Lanlan's. It was a luxury brand bag that Shi Lanlan bought before she got divorced. Shi Lanlan liked this bag very much and often carried it on her body. Gu Yan was also very familiar with it.
The bracelet was in the bag. In Zheng Tian's words, this was a case of catching the person red-handed, and the evidence could not be moved casually.
Gu Yan just took a look and didn't reach out to take the bracelet inside.
"I really didn't steal her bracelet." Shi Lanlan couldn't help but explain. She was obviously afraid that even Gu Yan wouldn't believe her.
Gu Yan still believed her on this point. It’s not that she trusted Shi Lanlan’s character, but this approach was too stupid.
And that bracelet is not worth much.
Gu Yan zipped up the bag, held it in her hand, and looked at Zheng Tian opposite her.
"I thought we were caught red-handed, but it turns out it's just a small matter. You keep saying that it was Lan Lan who stole your bracelet. Then, may I ask, you were away for so long, and Lan Lan had so much time, why didn't you move the bracelet? Why did you keep it in your bag? Wasn't that just waiting to be discovered? Are you so stupid as to be a thief?"
Luxury stores do not restrict their employees from going to the bathroom or going out. If Shi Lanlan really stole something, she would have plenty of opportunities to move the items to a place where no one could find them. Was she just leaving them in her bag waiting to be rummaged through?
Gu Yan felt that Zheng Tian's method of framing her was a little too childish.
Zheng Tian was momentarily stunned by the question, then snorted and said disapprovingly, "She's stupid, but how should I know where she gets those stupid ideas? I'm the victim, so why should I analyze the thief's thoughts? You're just blaming me!"
"Putting the blame on someone else?" Gu Yan snorted. "I remember Miss Zheng only has a high school diploma, right?"
Zheng Tian's expression changed. "What do you mean? Are you mocking me? What does my education have to do with you?"
"Oh, I don't mean anything else. Miss Zheng, please don't think too much about it."
Gu Yan covered her lips and smiled.
"I just thought that if Ms. Zheng's education level was too low, she might not know there is a scientific identification method called fingerprint identification."
“…” Zheng Tian was stunned, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
Gu Yan shook the bag in her hand. "Since Miss Zheng insisted that the bracelet was stolen by Lan Lan, then if she wanted to steal something, she must have been handled by someone else, right? We can take the bracelet for identification to see if there are any Lan Lan fingerprints on it. Then everything will be clear."
The corner of Zheng Tian's mouth twitched, and he finally understood what Gu Yan meant. His heart sank for a moment.
Gu Yan continued calmly, "If it was Lan Lan who stole it, then there would definitely be her fingerprints on it, but if there aren't any..."
"She can wear gloves to cover her fingerprints," Zheng Tian's friend quickly took over, saying a little anxiously, "I know wearing gloves can cover fingerprints."
"Yes, wearing gloves can indeed cover fingerprints." Gu Yan nodded approvingly and looked at her as if she were a fool.
"But may I ask, Lan Lan didn't wear gloves the entire time she was selling things. How could she have put on gloves right under your and Ms. Zheng's noses, and then taken them off again after stealing the bracelet?"
"It's rather unreasonable that you two didn't notice such a complicated series of processes."
"and…"
Gu Yan pointed at the surveillance camera on the corner of the wall.
"Every corner of the store is monitored by surveillance cameras. There aren't many blind spots. The footage of the two of you consuming in the store can be recorded. Just by looking through the surveillance footage, we can tell whether Lanlan wore gloves."
[Beautiful! As expected of a big sister, her logic is thorough and well-reasoned, leaving these two speechless.]
[Originally, this matter has many loopholes. Zheng Tian isn't a very smart person, so the method he used to frame people seems so stupid.]
[It's a shame that Shi Lanlan only knows how to complain to herself here, not trying to find a way to help herself, leaving everything to others.]
"You...I..." Zheng Tian was a little anxious, her face flushed, but she couldn't find a suitable breakthrough for a long time.
Gu Yan's words had blocked all her logic. If anyone was to blame anyone, it was only her and her friends who were busy accusing Shi Lanlan of the crime and did not let her touch the bracelet and leave any fingerprints.
It was said that the other party stole it, but there were no fingerprints of the other party on the bracelet. It was impossible for the other party to wear gloves and take them off in front of everyone in the store. This loophole is obviously inexplicable.
As for adjusting the surveillance, that is even more impossible. Although Zheng Tian's friend avoided the blind spots of the surveillance when putting the bracelet into Shi Lanlan's bag, who knows if any corners would be captured?
By then, the nature of the matter will have changed and it will be a blatant frame-up.
Do you still want this face?
Zheng Tian's friend was also visibly panicking. After all, she was the one who had handled the matter, and she was even more afraid than Zheng Tian that the matter would be discovered and implicated. So before Zheng Tian could even open her mouth to distance herself from the matter, her friend couldn't help but speak up.
"Forget it, it's just a bracelet. Now that we've found it, we don't want to pursue it. We're already busy and have things to do later. We don't have time to argue with you here."
"Give us back our things." Zheng Tian took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hand to ask Gu Yan for the bracelet.
Gu Yan moved the bag to her other hand and looked at Zheng Tian playfully.
"You said it was okay, so it's okay? You suspected others for no reason, accused them of stealing, and now you want to let it go just because you said you still have something else to do? Do you think everyone in the world should revolve around you and listen to you?"
Zheng Tian looked at Gu Yan angrily, "What else do you want?"
"You're busy, and so are everyone else. I also took time out of my busy schedule to come here. Since you have suspicions, let's get to the bottom of it. I'm calling the police right now and asking them to investigate this matter. We must get to the bottom of this."
As Gu Yan spoke, she was about to take out her cell phone to make a call.
Zheng Tian's friend was completely panicked and waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't call the police, don't call the police, don't make a big deal out of this little thing."
"Aren't you guys going to make a big fuss about this?" Gu Yan asked back.
"Of course not."
The reason why Zheng Tian's friends got involved in this mess was just to get some benefits and then flatter Zheng Tian.
However, now things are moving in a direction that is not favorable for them, and she certainly doesn't want to be dragged into it.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gu Yan was either rich or noble, and the store manager was also very courteous. If someone with such a background really called the police, it would be easy for him to make a big deal out of it.
