Chapter 23: Evidence

Shen Qinghuan almost didn't react and asked, "What did I steal?"

Quan Shiyan saw the commotion and came over immediately.

He frowned and said, "Officer, who called the police?"

The music stopped at some point, and the dancers stopped dancing and turned their attention to the situation over here.

Xu Zhiyan walked over from the crowd, followed by her younger sister Tong Yun instead of Du Shuwei.

"I called the police because she stole my diamond bracelet worth hundreds of thousands of dollars." Xu Zhiyan pointed at Shen Qinghuan.

Shen Qinghuan stared at Xu Zhiyan coldly: "What evidence do you have?"

Xu Zhiyan said arrogantly: "You have a history of stealing other people's things. My bracelet is missing, wasn't it you who stole it?"

Tonight she will make Shen Qinghuan the number one thief in the city and let her have a taste of what it feels like to be behind bars.

"If you don't believe me, search her bag. The bracelet must be in her bag."

Xu Zhiyan pointed directly at Shen Qinghuan's handbag.

Shen Qinghuan seemed to understand something.

Looking at Xu Zhiyan’s impatient look, I’m afraid the bracelet is really in her bag right now.

In an instant, Shen Qinghuan's thoughts turned several times, and she took the handbag and handed it to the police.

"Comrade police, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation."

Shen Qinghuan's active cooperation left a good impression on the two policemen, and their originally serious faces relaxed a little.

The police put on gloves.

There wasn't much stuff in such a small handbag, and everything was taken out quickly, including Xu Zhiyan's bracelet.

"It's this bracelet." Xu Zhiyan pointed at the item.

"Oh my god, it's really her. She's so beautiful, I thought she was the daughter of a wealthy family."

"Don't judge a person by his appearance. A bracelet worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is enough to keep him in jail for the rest of his life."

The people around started whispering and looked at Shen Qinghuan with contempt.

Quan Shiyan gave his assistant a look, and the assistant immediately left the crowd.

Yu Beiting and Xu Mufeng came out from another place after finishing their discussion. Seeing everyone gathered together, Yu Beiting had no intention of joining in the fun and was about to leave, but he heard a familiar voice.

"It seems to be Xu Zhiyan." Xu Mufeng reminded.

Yu Beiting frowned and walked over with big strides.

The crowd automatically made way.

Seeing that several people were on edge, including the police, Yu Beiting asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

When Xu Zhiyan saw him, she felt like she saw a savior. She hugged Yu Beiting's arm and complained, "Brother, Shen Qinghuan stole the bracelet that Sister Wanning gave me. It was designed by Sister Wanning herself."

"You're talking nonsense." Song Xixi squeezed in from the crowd and protected Shen Qinghuan behind her: "Qinghuan didn't steal the things, Xu Zhiyan, you'd better think it over. You will go to jail for slander."

Xu Zhiyan said confidently: "All the things have been found, if anyone has to go to jail, it should be Shen Qinghuan!"

Shen Qinghuan clenched her hands. If she didn't explain today's incident clearly, her reputation in the industry would probably be completely ruined.

She straightened her back and glanced at everyone with a firm and frank look.

"I didn't take the bracelet, and I don't know why it appeared in my bag. I believe the police will investigate it thoroughly and clear my name."

Quan Shiyan: "Everyone continue playing. I will go to the police station with the police to cooperate with the investigation."

His eyes scanned around dangerously, finally landing on Xu Zhiyan, his tone cold.

"I want to see who dares to slander my guests at my party."

Smart people could tell that Quan Shiyan was protecting Shen Qinghuan, and at the same time warning them that if they leaked anything, it would be against him, Quan Shiyan.

The last person who went against Quan Shiyan has disappeared in S City.

Everyone present suddenly fell silent and dared not say anything.

The police put the bracelet into the evidence bag, and another policeman took photos of the whole process before returning the bag to Shen Qinghuan.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the police station.

"Comrade police officer, I didn't steal." Shen Qinghuan's attitude was very calm and firm.

"The physical evidence is all here, and you still want to quibble." Xu Zhiyan wanted the police to lock Shen Qinghuan up immediately.

"Then tell me, your bracelet was worn perfectly, how did I steal it?"

Xu Zhiyan had expected this question and had already thought of an answer.

"I put the bracelet in my bag and didn't wear it. You must have stolen it when I wasn't paying attention when we entered the banquet hall."

Shen Qinghuan sneered: "If it was really me who stole it, there should be my fingerprints on the bracelet, and the police would know it clearly after just one check."

"Also, there should be surveillance at the scene."

After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan's eyes flickered instantly.

Yu Beiting, who had been looking at the two of them, darkened his eyes.

When Shen Qinghuan raised her eyes, she inadvertently met Yu Beiting's gaze. She clenched her fingers suddenly. Yu Beiting hated her so much that he would definitely help Xu Zhiyan to suppress her.

She has to find strong evidence to prove her innocence.

"I have a witness." Xu Zhiyan pushed her younger sister Tong Yun out: "Tong Yun saw it at the time."

Tong Yun is the daughter of Tong's Enterprise. She is on good terms with Xu Zhiyan because of her family business.

When she was pulled out, she panicked for a moment, because it was not in her plan to testify.

She lowered her head and could only follow Xu Zhiyan's words and say, "Yes, yes, I saw it."

"What did you see?" the policeman asked.

"I saw Shen Qinghuan put her hand in Zhiyan's bag."

"Did you see the bracelet?"

"No, I just saw her take something out, but I couldn't see it clearly because it was far away."

Xu Zhiyan was very satisfied with Tong Yun's answer. She looked at Shen Qinghuan proudly.

Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, let’s see how Shen Qinghuan can argue.

"Are you sure you were there?" Shen Qinghuan stared at Tong Yun with cold eyes.

Tong Yun was shocked by Shen Qinghuan's aura.

Xu Zhiyan pulled Yu Beiting and said, "Brother, look at her. She is so arrogant even after stealing something."

Yu Beiting's eyes were like an ancient well, deep and bottomless. He pursed his thin lips and was silent for a while. He looked at Shen Qinghuan with a sharp look and a warning in his eyes.

"If it was really you who stole it, Shen Qinghuan, you know the consequences."

After saying that, he instructed Lin Yi: "Cooperate with the police and check the surveillance."

"No need." Quan Shiyan sneered: "The surveillance is here."

Quan Shiyan took out his cell phone and handed it to the police. His assistant Wei Bin had just sent the surveillance video to his cell phone.

After the police looked at it, his expression became more serious, and then he turned the phone over to show everyone.

There are two sections of monitoring in total.

One scene is that Shen Qinghuan was bumped into by a waiter while choosing dim sum. While the waiter was helping Shen Qinghuan pick up her handbag, he threw something into it.

Under the lighting at the scene, the thing sparkled with the light of diamonds, and it was obvious at first glance that it was a bracelet.

The other segment is about the time when Tong Yun entered the banquet hall, ten minutes earlier than Shen Qinghuan and Xu Zhiyan. When Xu Zhiyan was looking for trouble with Shen Qinghuan, Tong Yun was not there.

So Tong Yun's testimony was overturned.
