Chapter 26 Quickly Transmigrated! Got Bankrupt Overnight and Became the Young Master’s Bodyguard (29)
Her voice became quieter and quieter until it was almost inaudible. I tried hard to hear what she was saying, but I could hear nothing. My heart sank to the bottom, and a feeling of despair surged over me. Was I really being wronged?
At this moment, I felt a hand gently on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was Shen Haoxuan. His eyes were complicated, with a hint of worry and a hint of determination. He said nothing, but just patted my shoulder gently, then turned and walked towards Maid Zhou.
"What did you see?" His voice was low and calm, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.
Maid Zhou raised her head and looked at him in horror. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't say anything. She seemed to be strangled by something and couldn't make any sound. She shook her head desperately, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
Shen Haoxuan's face became increasingly gloomy. His gaze was as sharp as a knife. He stared directly at Maid Zhou and spoke word by word, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Maid Zhou's body trembled even more violently. She seemed to be about to collapse. She suddenly shouted, "I don't know! I don't know anything!" Then she turned around and ran, disappearing into the crowd.
I watched her running away, my heart filled with doubts and confusion. What did she see? Why did she accuse me? Who was behind her? All of this was like a huge mystery, hanging over my heart and suffocating me.
Shen Haoxuan turned around and looked at me with deep and complicated eyes. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "I believe you."
My heart warmed up and a feeling of gratitude welled up in my heart. I knew how precious Shen Haoxuan's trust was to me at this moment.
"Thank you," I whispered.
"I will get to the bottom of this matter." Shen Haoxuan's tone was firm and powerful.
I nodded, a glimmer of hope in my heart. I knew that I couldn't just sit there and wait for death, I had to find clues myself to prove my innocence. I looked at Shen Haoxuan and said, "I will also..." Before I finished speaking, suddenly, a voice came from the crowd...
"I will find out the truth, too." My tone was firm and unquestionable. Shen Haoxuan looked at me deeply, his eyes full of trust and encouragement.
In the following days, I cooperated with Detective Wu's investigation on the surface, but secretly started my own investigation. Maid Zhou's testimony puzzled me. Why did she want to frame me? I tried hard to recall every detail of the banquet that day, trying to find a clue.
I first found the housemaid Zhou's residence, a simple little room with simple furnishings and cleanliness. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. I pushed open the door and found that the room was empty. Only the neatly stacked bedding on the bed and a photo on the table caught my attention. In the photo, the housemaid Zhou and a young man were snuggling together intimately, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
Who is this man? I was a little confused. I picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. The man's face looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. I put the photo back and left Maid Zhou's room.
I continued to walk around the Shen family, trying to find some clues. I went to the banquet hall, which had been cleaned up, and there was no sign of what happened that night. I looked around carefully, trying to reconstruct the scene at that time. The necklace was stolen in Shen Haoxuan's study, and I was in charge of the security of the banquet hall at the time. It was impossible for me to have the opportunity to steal the necklace from the study.
Could it be that someone framed me? This thought became stronger and stronger in my mind. I recalled that night, the look in Director Liu's eyes was full of hostility and disdain. He had always been dissatisfied with me and thought that I was not worthy of being Shen Haoxuan's bodyguard. Could it be him?
I decided to find Director Liu and ask him face to face. I went to Director Liu's office and he was sitting at his desk, holding a document in his hand with a frown on his face.
"Director Liu, I would like to ask you a few questions." I said straight to the point.
Director Liu raised his head and looked at me. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "What's the matter?"
"Do you have anything to say about the party that night?" I looked him straight in the eye, my tone calm and firm.
Director Liu put down the documents in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and sneered. "What do you want to say?"
"I want to know why you framed me?" I asked in a cold tone, not hiding my suspicion.
Director Liu's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal. "Frame you? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"You really don't understand?" I pressed on. "That night, the look you gave me was full of hostility. You have always been dissatisfied with me and thought that I was not worthy of being Shen Haoxuan's bodyguard. You just wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of me, right?"
Director Liu's face became increasingly ugly. He stood up suddenly, pointed at me and shouted, "You are talking nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that I framed you?"
"I have no evidence," I admitted. "But I will find it."
I turned around and left Director Liu's office. I knew that I had to find evidence as soon as possible to prove my innocence. As night fell, I looked out the window at the dark night, and a bold idea emerged in my mind. I had to go to the banquet hall again. Maybe there were some clues hidden there that I hadn't discovered.
I quietly left the room. The corridor was quiet, with only the sound of my footsteps echoing in the empty corridor. I came to the door of the banquet hall and gently opened the door... At the end of the corridor, a dark shadow flashed by.
At the end of the corridor, a dark figure flashed by. My heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that other people also had doubts about this matter? I slowed down my pace and followed quietly. The dark figure was very fast and I almost lost it. Fortunately, it finally stopped in front of a door - the banquet hall.
I held my breath and carefully pushed open the half-open door. A familiar smell of champagne and perfume hit me, as if I was back in that chaotic night. The hall was empty, and the light from the crystal chandelier reflected a cold light on the ground. I looked around, trying to recall everything that happened that night.
The location where the security system was damaged was in the southwest corner of the banquet hall. I walked straight there. It had been restored to its original state and there was nothing unusual. I was unwilling to give up, so I squatted down and carefully checked the gaps in the floor, hoping to find some clues.
"What are you doing?" A cold voice came from behind.
I turned around suddenly and saw Detective Wu standing at the door, looking at me warily. "Detective Wu? Why are you here so late?"
"I should be the one asking you this question." Detective Wu's tone was full of suspicion. "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
