Lin Mai had originally planned to throw away this down jacket last night, but when the incident came, she really couldn't bear to do so.
Ever since she insisted on dropping out of school to be with Wang Yifan, her family has not given her a penny.
Lin Mai came to Wang Yifan's house alone, and every day besides preparing for pregnancy, she did housework and served Wang Yifan's family.
She had no job and no income, so when she needed money she could only ask Wang Yifan for it. If she wanted to buy any clothes she had to ask Wang Yifan for approval first.
Wang Yifan likes sexy women, so he is only willing to buy sexy and mature clothes for Lin Mai.
Moreover, Wang Yifan refused to buy Lin Mai expensive clothes and only bought her some cheap items that looked good but were useless.
For example, the tweed skirt she was wearing was bought for her by Wang Yifan for 50 yuan before the natural disaster. It looked nice, but it was hard and prickly, irritating the skin and really uncomfortable to wear.
So Lin Mai is reluctant to part with this down jacket. It has a fresh and beautiful design, and is made of solid material. It is thick and warm. It is one of the few good clothes in Lin Mai’s wardrobe, and she really likes it.
If she lost it, she didn't know if she would have the chance to own a piece of clothing like this again.
She stood in the snow for more than ten hours yesterday holding the down jacket, struggling for more than ten hours, and finally brought it back quietly and put it under the bag of old shoes in the utility room.
Lin Mai comforted himself that Xia Shige didn't know that he bought the dress, so she shouldn't suspect him.
I didn't expect that Xia Shige actually knew it!
Officer Tan Zhen looked at Lin Mai's pale face, held up the down jacket and asked her, "Is this down jacket yours? Then why did you deny it just now and say you didn't have it?"
Lin Mai's body swayed slightly when she heard this, as if she was about to faint. She lowered her head and murmured, "I, I..."
Lin Mai was now too flustered to speak. Facing Officer Tan Zhen's stern gaze, she could only purse her lips tightly and hold on to her body to prevent herself from fainting.
Song's father and Song Xiao looked at each other, and saw uneasiness in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect that this woman Lin Mai would be so useless that she would lose her composure at such a time.
In this situation, Lin Mai should have denied it directly like Xia Shige did and said that she couldn't remember it.
Anyway, the face of the person cannot be seen in the surveillance video, and as long as the police insist that Xia Shige is the thief, they will be helpless for the time being.
But looking at Lin Mai's current condition, Song's father Song Li knew that it was obviously impossible to rely on her.
So Song's father cleared his throat twice and spoke to Lin Mai's rescue: "Comrade police, even if she has the same clothes, it doesn't prove anything. We saw the thief's face in the living room, and the thief is Xia Shige!"
Song Qi also nodded. She walked forward and gently hugged Lin Mai's shoulders, trying to calm Lin Mai's panic. She said, "Maybe this little girl is afraid of being implicated, so she doesn't dare to admit that she has this dress."
Song's father, Song Yi, is a seasoned businessman. The current situation can only prove that Lin Mai and Xia Shige are both suspects, but it cannot prove that they and Lin Mai have joined forces to set up the conspiracy.
Unexpectedly, just as Song Qi finished speaking, Xia Shige, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke up: "Officer Tan, I suggest that you check the bank statements and transfer records of the Song family, Wang Yifan, and Lin Mai."
Xia Shige's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder, exploding in the silent room.
Song's father, Song Qi and Wang Yifan raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at Xia Shige with astonished expressions, their eyes full of panic and disbelief.
Feeling the eyes of everyone in the room focused on her, Xia Shige remained calm. She continued, "Just now in the building, the three of them kept saying that this was the first time they met and that they didn't know each other. They also said that Lin Mai was just a witness who met by chance..."
"If that's the case, then check their bank statements. If they really don't know each other, there shouldn't be any records of money transfers."
