Xia Shige didn't say anything. She knew that the person in the surveillance footage was not her. This was just a farce directed and performed by the Song family.
There are three surveillance videos, but not even one shot of her face facing forward. It's simply a dream to accuse her of theft based on these!
but……
Xia Shige couldn't understand why a down jacket of the same style as the one she was wearing appeared in the surveillance footage.
You know, this down jacket is not a popular style...
Song's mother thought that Xia Shige was afraid because she didn't speak, so she immediately turned to Officer Tan Zhen and said, "Police officer, you saw it all! This little girl broke into my house. She stole my ring and ate a plate of snacks. The surveillance camera captured it clearly!"
Song Yu also nodded and said to Officer Tan Zhen: "Police officer, we ask the police to deal with their family as soon as possible, make them compensate my family for the losses, and then move out of this community!"
After Song Xiao finished speaking, Song's mother continued to add: "Police officer, you also know that this is a natural disaster. The plate of cakes she ate was specially supplied by the tea restaurant of the five-star hotel in the center of the city, and it costs 30,000 yuan per plate! And the ring she took away, it was a sapphire inlaid with gold, and its value exceeded five figures!"
As soon as Song's mother finished speaking, Song's father pretended to be in great pain again. He sighed, pointed at Xia Shige and said, "The six-digit loss should have been enough to get a few years in court. However, we are old friends with her mother after all... For the sake of her mother, we just need to let her compensate for the loss and move out of here."
The couple sang in unison, as if they wanted to nail Xia Shige to the pillar of shame.
Officer Tan Zhen didn't say anything. He just took the phone from Song's mother and looked at the surveillance footage again with a frown.
Then, he raised his head and faced Song Xiao and Song's mother's expectant gaze. He replied in a deep voice: "Don't rush to convict her. None of these three surveillance videos show her face, and they can't prove who this thief is."
Song Xiao and her mother were stunned when they heard this, and then they said anxiously: "Why can't you prove it?! When she took off her mask in the living room, I saw her face! I can prove that it was her!"
Officer Tan Zhen shook his head upon hearing this: "You are the party involved. Your testimony cannot be used as decisive evidence. You should have this common sense, right?"
After hearing what Officer Tan Zhen said, Song Yu also became anxious.
Song Yu stretched out his hand, pointed at the down jacket on Xia Shige and said, "What about the clothes she is wearing?! The down jacket she is wearing is exactly the same as the one the thief was wearing in the surveillance video! This can't be fake!"
Officer Tan Zhen frowned and looked at the surveillance footage carefully again. Xia Shige also leaned over to stare at the surveillance camera.
It is indeed one thing...
The collar of this down jacket has a slightly lotus leaf design, and it is a little fluffy underneath, like the curve of a skirt, and there is also a waist belt designed in the middle.
Xia Shige bought this down jacket when she was in college. She was young at the time and liked fancy things, so she bought this down jacket. She wore it for several years and became attached to it, so she couldn't bear to throw it away.
The key point is that this down jacket is neither a big brand nor a hot-selling item. It was bought by Xia Shige from a niche online store with only more than a hundred fans.
The online store is an independent brand, and the owner is the only designer. Out of interest and hobby, the owner designs, makes patterns, and makes clothes by himself. Because it is too niche, the sales volume of this down jacket is very low, with only about ten pieces sold.
A few days after Xia Shige bought this down jacket, the store cleared out its inventory and went bankrupt.
Is it really such a coincidence that a piece of clothing with a nationwide sales volume of about ten pieces just happened to appear in Xindu Community for the second time?
Xia Shige was immersed in his own memories, only to hear Officer Tan Zhen shaking his head and answering: "This doesn't prove anything. Maybe it just happened to be a piece of clothing. None of your evidence can stand up."
This is not because Officer Tan Zhen is biased towards Xia Shige, but there is really no way to convict Xia Shige based on just these three surveillance videos!
There was no frontal face, and no traces were left at the scene. He was just a suspect no matter what! Innocent until proven guilty, none of these could convict Xia Shige!
Officer Tan Zhen pinched his brows and asked Song Xu and his mother, "Can you provide any other evidence?"
At this moment, a female voice came from behind: "Police officer, I can be a witness!"
Xia Shige was stunned when she heard this, and then she rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
She was so familiar with this voice that she knew who was speaking without even looking up - it was Lin Mai.
