Zhang Qiumei was taken away by the police from her own home.
She took the diamond brooch in the morning and took the afternoon off to prepare to sell it. She was arrested by the police as soon as she entered her home.
At the time, she was somewhat bewildered.
The host is too careless to have noticed the brooch was missing so quickly. Could it be that her deadbeat husband has caused trouble again?
"What right do you have to arrest me?" Zhang Qiumei was quite skilled at throwing a tantrum, and she knocked the hand of a policeman away.
"Don't you know what you've done?" The police don't say it outright. By asking such vague questions, suspects with poor mental fortitude are often tricked into confessing to many crimes that the police are unaware of!
"What did I do? I didn't do anything. Did that bastard cause trouble again? It has nothing to do with me. Let me tell you, I'm going through a divorce with him right now, and I don't know anything about his affairs."
Seeing that they couldn't get any information from her, the police said, "Zhang Qiumei, you are suspected of stealing other people's valuables. Please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation."
theft?
Zhang Qiumei was stunned.
She immediately started making a scene. "I didn't steal it! You're accusing me without any evidence!"
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, we'll find out after the investigation. Take him away!"
Zhang Qiumei felt weak and was sweating profusely. She touched her pocket and prayed silently: "Please don't let this brooch be too expensive."
On the way, she secretly thought about throwing the brooch into the grass or somewhere else.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as he took it out, a policeman grabbed his hand.
"The evidence has been found; the diamond brooch worth twelve million has been found."
Zhang Huixiang was stunned. "How much?"
The policeman smiled and said, "It's worth twelve million. Zhang Qiumei, you're under arrest. It's confirmed that you stole this diamond brooch. The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"
Zhang Qiumei panicked. Twelve million yuan—she could never earn that much money in her entire life.
"Officer, I didn't know this was worth so much money. I thought it was just a small thing worth a dozen yuan, and I brought it to give to my child to play with."
Police officer: "..." Do you think we're blind? Can't we tell the difference between good and bad things?
...
During the statement taking, the police asked Zhang Qiumei if it was possible that she had picked up the diamond thinking it was something the owner didn't want.
Linghu Lan said firmly:
“I don’t agree with this statement. Zhang Qiumei has seen all kinds of jewelry in my house, and I have told her the price range of many of them. It’s impossible that she thought it was something that cost only a few dollars. In addition, I have video footage that can prove that she stole the diamond brooch after careful consideration, rather than accidentally picking it up.”
Linghu Lan handed over the USB drive.
After watching the video together, the police officers finally reached a consensus: the case could be closed, and the case file could be transferred to the judicial authorities for trial.
When leaving the police station.
Zhang Qiumei had just gotten off the bus.
She spotted Linghu Lan at a glance.
"Sister Ling, I was so naive. I didn't know that thing was so valuable. If I had known, I wouldn't have taken it to play with. Sister Ling, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I will never do it again."
Zhang Qiumei's face was covered in tears and snot, and it took two policemen to support her so that she wouldn't fall.
Linghu Lan watched all of this with a cold eye.
Too late!
If you had shown some compassion when Lingyun lay in bed asking you for a drink of water, you wouldn't be suffering this fate today.
Stealing twelve million dollars worth of diamonds could result in a sentence of more than ten years, up to life imprisonment; a long prison term awaits you.
I hope you have a happy time.
