Chapter 36: Duplicity



The thief's eyes flickered, and he obviously didn't expect Fang Jinyu to start from this detail. He turned his eyes and continued to speak arrogantly.

"I accidentally bumped into him when I passed by him just now, and that's why I pulled the fabric off his clothes. But if you want to accuse me of being a thief, you must have evidence. Look for yourself, I have nothing on me."

The thief still refused to admit his crime. Facing the torture of everyone, he remained calm. It was obvious that this group of people had received professional training. It seemed that they had been stealing for a long time.

"Of course there is evidence. The things you stole were on him."

Luo Xue Ning spoke calmly, and she stretched out her slender jade finger, pointing at a person who was watching in the crowd.

Following the direction of Luo Xuening's finger, the thief who was pointed out naturally felt the attention of everyone. Luo Xuening frowned and walked towards the person.

Fang Jinyu was about to speak when she saw that the man suddenly changed direction, and the direction his feet were pointing was exactly towards the exit of the restaurant.

This subconscious action of his completely exposed him. Luo Xuening shook her head lightly. It was obvious that this thief had a very poor psychological quality and was easily exposed.

"You two are in cahoots. He stole the property first and handed it to you. If he is caught, the property will naturally not be found. This trick of you two is not exciting enough. You can stop it now."

"Where did you come from, little girl? What nonsense are you talking about? I just heard the noise over here and came here. I came here to eat. How could I associate with thieves?"

As the saying goes, clothes make the man. The thief put on a brocade robe, looking like a decent man. He also spoke with more confidence. He raised his head and looked at Luo Xuening, with a look of "calmness" in his eyes.

"Yes, this girl and this gentleman are customers of our store. He came alone and didn't know the thief at all."

The waiter also started to help out at this time. He couldn't understand the tricks of these two thieves.

Soon, some people came to help, helping the thief to accuse Luo Xu Ning. However, facing everyone's unanimous favoritism, Luo Xu Ning remained indifferent, with a clear look in her eyes.

Fang Jinyu originally wanted to go forward to help Luo Xue Ning, but when he saw the determination in Luo Xue Ning's eyes, he automatically backed off. He knew that since Luo Xue Ning dared to say it, she must have evidence.

"Your room was across from ours. When your accomplices stole the property, they passed it on to you. At this stage, you didn't need to go out at all. You just needed to open the door of your room a little. However, in order to conceal your presence, you deliberately stayed in the room for a while. After everyone arrived, you came out to create an alibi for yourself."

After Luo Xuening finished speaking, the well-dressed thief's face changed. He frowned, but his hands were rubbing unconsciously. It was obvious that he was very nervous.

In another closed private room, Long Moxun suddenly curled his lips, and the slight curve made it hard to tell whether it was a smile or contempt.

Long Lingxun was sitting opposite Long Moxun and was very curious about his subtle change: "Why, is my brother also interested in what's happening outside the door?"

"I am not as boring as you."

Long Moxun took a sip of tea, looking calm. Although he was teasing, he was actually still listening carefully to what was happening outside.

Long Lingxun choked, but couldn't expose her, so he could only hum softly and continue to pretend to be nonchalant, listening carefully to the movements outside. After all, the woman's inference just now was very exciting, which made him inexplicably want to see the style of the woman who said this.

In response to this, the two followers of the two princes glanced dimly at their masters, who were saying one thing and thinking another.

And outside, it was still Luo Xuening's home court.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just like quietness. If you hadn't quarreled so fiercely just now, I wouldn't have come out to see you. Besides, I only have a few pieces of silver on me, no jewelry. You are simply slandering me."

"Hey, I didn't say that my jewelry was stolen. How did you know that? And you still dare to say that you are not an accomplice?"

This time, Nangong Yu was the first to react. As expected, this thief exposed his IQ as soon as he opened his mouth.

The thief panicked. The two thieves looked at each other, and then the thief denied it: "I was just guessing."

"Someone, take these two thieves to the government."

This time, even the shop owner was shocked. He also saw through the tricks of the two thieves. At this time, the thieves were panicking, but he still yelled loudly.

"Besides, I don't have anything on me. Even if you say I'm a thief, you have to have evidence that I stole something, right?"

The shopkeeper couldn't care less. Two of his employees had already stepped forward and held up the thief. Nangong Yu was still anxiously shouting, "Wait a minute, let me find my beads first."

Nangong Yu was about to search the two thieves. He was very anxious, fearing that his beads had been hidden.

"No need to look for it. The beads are not on them. They should still be in the room."

Nangong Yu turned around and looked at Luo Xuening in confusion. How did she know all this? He turned around and saw Fang Jinyu nodded at him. Nangong Yu then let go of the two thieves and searched their room. After a while, he found his beads.

Nangong Yu looked deeply at the bead, his eyes seemed to be looking through the bead at another person...

The silent crowd finally reacted. The little girl in front of them found out the thief and the stolen property in just a few words. She was really an expert in predicting things.

"Ning'er, you know what, you just acted like a reincarnated detective. If you were not a man, I would definitely fall in love with you."

"......?"

excuse me?

Could it be that I traveled through time and changed my gender?

"Hey, Yiyi, you are just a kid, don't talk about love or not so casually."

"Luoxue Ning, thank you."

Nangong Yu was serious for once, with a handsome face, he thanked Luo Xuening. At the same time, there was a trace of guilt in his eyes. He shouldn't have treated Luo Xuening like that just now.

"No need to thank me, it's just a small favor."

Luo Xuening's expression was indifferent. He knew that Nangong Yu was a proud and arrogant person. In fact, he still looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

"Miss Luo, how did you know that person was an accomplice?"

There was more appreciation in Fang Jinyu's eyes when he looked at Luo Xuening at this moment. His eyebrows and eyes were light, yet just the right amount of gentle, completely different from Nangong Yu's Zhang Yang. Being with Fang Jinyu, Luo Xuening felt comfortable and natural, and her tone was also much softer.

"I figured it out based on his behavior. You see, when Nangong Yu was arguing with the thief just now, all the onlookers had condemnatory looks in their eyes. When we were talking, they took the initiative to look at us because they still hoped to learn the truth from us. Only the accomplice had a look of worry in his eyes. Moreover, his eyes were on the thief from beginning to end. That was the nervousness that only people with close relationships would have."

Fang Jinyu nodded, with deeper admiration in her eyes: "Miss Luo is very observant, but how did you know that the bead was not on them?"

Fang Jinyu continued to ask questions without shame.

"I determined this by observing their behavior. You see, when the two thieves were in trouble, they repeatedly emphasized that the beads were not on them. This was enough to show that this was their territory. So, I guessed that they were telling the truth when they said that the beads were not on them."

"But when they said they didn't steal anything, they would touch their noses, wipe their hands, or do all sorts of other things to show they were lying."

Luo Xue Ning's words led the others to recreate the scene just now. It was just as Luo Xue Ning said, the two thieves did make all kinds of small movements when they were lying.

"Ms. Luo, do you usually make judgments about a person based on these?"

Fang Jinyu only felt that the woman in front of him, her world, seemed different from theirs.

Although Fang Jinyu himself is respected as a detective and his subordinates have solved many unjust cases, in Fang Jinyu's view, his analysis of the case when he judged the case was an exception.

He had never thought about summarizing all these and forming a skill to analyze and argue them, but today, Luo Xuening did it.

In response to Fang Jinyu's question, Luo Xuening took a deep breath. As a criminal psychologist, while she was studying others, she was actually being seen through by others. Being able to judge her habits through just a few sentences from her, this Fang Jinyu really lived up to the name of detective.

"Indeed, in fact, human behavior can be analyzed and judged, but the research requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and I have only summarized some of my usual observations and judgments."

"I'd like to hear the details."

Fang Jinyu became interested and was ready to get to the bottom of the matter.
