"Miss Zhong, I'm sorry, I would like to ask the lady next to you, has she touched the jade bracelet on the display case by the window?"
Zhong Qing asked calmly, "What happened?"
"I just went to the dressing room, and when I came back I found that the jade bracelet was missing." The receptionist spoke very restrainedly and carefully, "I just want to ask, did this lady accidentally put the bracelet somewhere else?"
Shen Mingzhu categorically denied, "No, I didn't touch the bracelet."
The receptionist stopped talking, but his expression looked very unhappy.
Even if she had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to accuse Shen Mingzhu without any evidence. She couldn't afford to offend Zhong Qing, who was by Shen Mingzhu's side.
At this time, Sun Feifei came back from the direction of the bathroom.
When the receptionist saw Sun Feifei, he immediately stepped forward to ask questions, and his words were almost exactly the same as when he asked Shen Mingzhu just now.
Ever since she learned that the jade bracelet was lost, Shen Mingzhu had bad suspicions in her mind. Now that she saw that Sun Feifei had not left yet, her suspicions became even stronger.
Sun Feifei first denied taking the bracelet, then she turned her eyes and looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Shen Mingzhu, you should know where the bracelet is, right?"
Shen Mingzhu looked back at him coldly, "You don't know, how can I know?"
Sun Feifei: "When I came in, you were standing in front of the bracelet, staring at it. Later, we went to the dressing room to change clothes, and you were the only one in the exhibition hall. It's easy for you to prove your innocence. Just let them check your bag."
"No need."
It was Zhong Qing who spoke. Her tone was still calm and she spoke softly to the receptionist, "I bought the bracelet. Please put the bill in my name and we will settle it together when the time comes."
The receptionist was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Sun Feifei stared at Zhong Qing with an expression of shock and jealousy.
What kind of luck did Shen Mingzhu have? Why did she always have all kinds of noble people helping her? She said unwillingly, "This bracelet is not cheap, is it? It just disappeared without any explanation. How can it be considered a failure?"
Zhong Qing looked towards Sun Feifei. There was rarely a smile in her light brown eyes, but her voice was still gentle. "I have lost count of how many bracelets of this quality I have lost since I was a child. If I have to look for every one of them, I am afraid I will only be looking for bracelets for the rest of my life and won't have time to do anything else."
Sun Feifei was speechless.
"Call the police."
Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, Shen Mingzhu suddenly said something shocking.
Sun Feifei reacted the fastest, "Yes, call the police! It's fairest to let the police investigate!"
After saying that, seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sun Feifei hurriedly explained: "I just don't want to be suspected of stealing for nothing. Shen Mingzhu, you don't want to either, right?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled, "I'm different from you. I prefer to see the real murderer caught, which is a very satisfying show."
Sun Feifei's face froze for a moment, then she said nonchalantly, "Okay, let's wait and see."
The receptionist looked at Zhong Qing undecidedly.
The latter nodded, and the receptionist turned around to make a phone call.
"It's hot outside, let's go in and sit and wait."
As she spoke, Zhong Qing was about to pull Shen Mingzhu into the exhibition hall, but was stopped by Sun Feifei.
"Let's wait for the police to arrive and then go in together."
Zhong Qing looked at the other person quietly, still speaking softly, but her words were not gentle at all, "Do you want to go away by yourself, or do you want me to have you thrown out?"
Sun Feifei's expression changed slightly.
"Forget it." Shen Mingzhu patted Zhong Qing's arm.
Shen Mingzhu was at a loss for a moment, then pointed to a clump of banana trees in the yard and said, "Go there, it's cooler there, ask them to bring you a chair to sit on."
"Okay." He said it somewhat reluctantly.
I have to say, a socialite is a socialite. She can turn an ordinary bamboo chair into a work of art.
The banana leaves, bamboo chairs and the beauty in cheongsam are so beautiful that they look like a painting.
I don’t know which man is so lucky to marry such a peerless beauty.
Shen Mingzhu looked at Zhong Qing's profile and thought to herself.
The news of the lost bracelet spread quickly, and other staff members of King's Landing also gathered around, whispering and speculating.
I won’t mention the old calendar in the past, but in the past ten years or so, there has been no theft in King’s Landing.
Those who can enter Junlin are either rich or noble, or are recommended by old customers, so their quality and upbringing are guaranteed.
But today is an exception. One is Shen Mingzhu and the other is Sun Feifei, both of them are strangers.

As soon as these two people arrived, things were lost in the store. It's hard not to be suspicious and despise them.
Zhong Qing looked at Shen Mingzhu with her light brown eyes, her tone hinting with a hint of coquettishness.
"Why go through so much trouble when you can just spend some money to solve the problem?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled and replied: "They have already set up the stage. If we don't sing a few lines along, wouldn't that spoil the fun?"
Not far away, Sun Feifei looked at the intimate posture of the two and couldn't help feeling jealous and envious.
She also wanted to have a friend as rich and powerful as this, so that she could move in and out of high society circles effortlessly.
The police arrived quickly.
After learning how the bracelet was lost, the two police officers immediately went into the exhibition hall to search.
"Wait a minute."
Seeing Shen Mingzhu trying to stop her, Sun Feifei immediately asked loudly, "Shen Mingzhu, are you feeling guilty?"
Shen Mingzhu ignored them and directly told the two police officers her opinion, "It's hot, and hands are sweaty, so it's easy to leave fingerprints on the surface of jade. I guess the bracelet must have the fingerprints of the thief."
"To avoid destroying the evidence, you two police comrades, it's best for you to wear gloves when searching. Also, if you find a bracelet, it's best not to touch it. Wait for professionals to come and extract fingerprints and compare them with those of the people at the scene."
When the two police officers heard this, they were surprised: Oh, he is an expert after all.
The staff in the store who originally suspected Shen Mingzhu, after hearing these words, also dispelled their suspicions about Shen Mingzhu and turned to suspect Sun Feifei.
After all, the bracelet won’t just grow legs and run away on its own.
Sun Feifei never dreamed that Shen Mingzhu would have such a trick up her sleeve.
But she reacted quickly, "Fingerprints don't prove anything. The bracelet is right there, anyone can try it on. I don't know how many people's fingerprints are on it. How can we check them all?"
Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly, "Don't you know that after trying on a jade bracelet, the staff will immediately clean it to ensure its glossiness and transparency?"
The receptionist quickly agreed, "It's like this. When the bracelet was put out this morning, I wiped it clean with a silk cloth. I made sure there was no dust on it. So far today, no one has tried on the bracelet."
Seeing Sun Feifei's face gradually turning pale, Shen Mingzhu smiled brightly, "I can be 100% sure that I didn't touch the bracelet. So, if the bracelet is found later, as long as you check the fingerprints on it, you will know who stole it."
