Chapter 5 Helplessness to board the thief ship

Mizhen's words left me speechless, and I couldn't find a reason to refute it, so I could only listen silently. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In fact, her words shattered the fact that I had been reluctant to admit. I do keep getting others to pay for my sadness. My tears remind those around me time and time again that they have lost their loved ones. It's like repeatedly uncovering the scars in someone else's heart, which is really selfish and cruel. After getting in the taxi, there was no conversation between me and Mi Zhen, and I have to say that Mi Zhen's words touched me a lot. But there was another reason for my silence, the role of my father in the story that Mizhen said. I believe that my father would not do such a ridiculous thing, but Mi Zhen's sworn appearance makes me suspicious again.

More than ten minutes later, the taxi turned into an upscale neighborhood. After getting out of the car, Mizhen took me into one of the apartment buildings. Mi Zhen's home is on the fifth floor of the apartment, with two bedrooms and one living room, and the decoration is a popular Nordic style.

She turned to the kitchen to pour me a drink, and when she came out, she saw me staring at a brick-red leather sofa chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. She smiled and put the drink on the coffee table: "When I went to France in the past, I bought it at the auction over there, it is considered an antique, but the price is quite good." After all, there is no special story about this chair, except for the age of its manufacture. I just took pictures of them just because they looked pretty. When I brought it back, the leather on the cushion was a little broken, and I asked someone to help fix it. Pretty good, right? You can't tell it's been repaired twice, right? After showing off, she pulled me back into the living room, and she got up and went to the bedroom to get a brown paper bag for me. Here's all the evidence that your father helped me sell jewelry. I really think your father knew that the jewelry was coming from the wrong place. He never signed any paper contract with me, and even when he paid me for the goods, he gave me cash, face-to-face delivery, and never entrusted to a third party for execution. I guess I'm afraid that I will have to break up any relationship after the accident, right? Mi Zhen handed me the brown paper bag in her hand.

I cautiously opened the paper bag, and there were documents with catalogs and prices for the jewelry, and Mi Zhen told me that these were all the jewels that had passed my father's hands. There are also some photos, almost every photo shows the figure of her father and Mizhen, the photos were taken in recent years, and in each photo, Mizhen is holding beautiful jewelry in her hand. There is only one photo of my father holding a necklace that looks familiar.

"Did you leave my father alone with all this stuff you stolen?" I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart, and looked at the necklace in the photo that was almost exactly the same style as Mi Zhen told me, the pendant was a snake coiled with a sparkling diamond.

'You're a snake, of course you've got a snake on your necklace,' I said in my head. I picked up the picture and asked Mizhen, "This is the necklace that got you in trouble, right?" ”

Mi Zhen looked at the photo and nodded: "That's right, it's this necklace." How? Got an impression of it? ”

I shook my head, not telling her the familiarity that had flashed in my mind: "No, it just feels very similar to the necklace you just described." But you haven't answered my question yet, my father won't be the only seller, right? ”

"Of course not." Mi Zhen shook her head briskly, "But it's your father's line that has the problem." ”

I was silent for a while, silently putting the evidence back in the brown paper bag: "How do you prove that these photos are real?" ”

She took the brown paper bag from my hand with a smile: "You can find someone to verify the authenticity, but let me remind you first, this is a very dangerous choice." If my boss calls the police, your behavior will be tantamount to giving the handle to someone else, and if the police release the photo of the necklace, the friend in charge of the identification will become an eyewitness, and you don't need me to say that you know the consequences, right? ”

Mizhen's words undoubtedly shook my resolve to authenticate the photos, and if my father was really involved in their jewelry trade, as the people in front of me said, then my move to take out the photos was indeed very dangerous. Although I believed in my father's personality, in front of the photo, I was confused. Even if it is not ironclad evidence, it also indirectly proves that my father came into contact with the stolen diamond necklace before his death. If the transaction has nothing to do with his father, how to explain the photo in Mizhen's hand?

Mi Zhen saw my doubts, put the documents in her hand aside, picked up the juice and took a sip: "Believe it or not, the reason why I let others collect these evidence is so that one day after an accident, there will be first aid measures." These secretly taken photos could have been used as a bargaining chip for me to threaten the seller to help me recover the jewelry, not only your father, but everyone who has been involved in the transaction has a handle in my hands. ”

"Do you think I'm going to work with you because of your chips?" I leaned back on the couch, "I'll need to think about what to do next." ”

But Mi Zhen interrupted me with a sneer: "Consider? I don't have time for you to think about it, I can't hide the theft of the necklace for too long. I didn't want to be wiped out, so I cooperated with me to get the necklace back. ”

I thought about it for a moment and angrily slapped the sofa at hand: "What is this!" ”

Mizhen listened to my complaints and smiled silently.

I called the unit leader to ask for leave, on the grounds that the matter at home had not been completely dealt with, and he could not resume work this afternoon. I glanced at Mizhen and saw that she was sitting in the antique chair looking at me with her head propped up in her left hand. After thinking about it, I decided to take a few more days off: "Sister Xuan, I, I want to take a few more days off." There's something I can't get out of right now. I have a few days left on my annual leave, and I want to use it first. If you still can't go back, I'll call you again. ”

"No problem, you can take care of the affairs at home first, and I will help you take care of the rest. You must pay attention to your body. After taking a leave of absence and taking a few deep breaths on the sofa, I stabilized my mood, turned my head and asked Mi Zhen with a leisurely face: "Do you have any ideas?" For example, do you know my father's usual sales channels? ”

Mi Zhen had already walked into the kitchen again, came out with ice cream in her hand, handed me one, sat down next to me and said, "Do you think I would trouble you if I knew?" I'm only responsible for stealing and getting the stolen money back, and I don't care about the rest. So what exactly your father did with it, and who he sold to, I have no clue as you do. Mizhen spoke in a relaxed tone, as if it wasn't her who lost the necklace and was unlucky.

"Aren't you worried?" I felt like I couldn't control my temper anymore, "I really don't have any sense of responsibility at all." ”

Mi Zhen kept focusing on the ice cream in her hand, and when she heard me mutter, she looked up and smiled and said, "You are really naΓ―ve, do you think that if I were a responsible person, I would still do such a thing as guarding and stealing?" ”

"But even so, you're a little worried about your future fate, aren't you?" I continued to complain angrily.

Mi Zhen's eyes were completely focused on the ice cream in her hand, and she was scooping the strawberry-flavored ice cream with a spoon while arguing with me nonchalantly: "Of course I'm worried, otherwise why would I go all the way to you for help." But I really don't know your father's social connections, or who he sold the goods to, so I thought to ask him what you know closest to him. But now it seems that you can't help at all. As for not worrying about this. Didn't I criticize you for not being able to hold your breath? Come to think of it, if I were as frizzy as you were now, the two of us wouldn't have made any progress except to complain about each other here. Now that you and I don't have any clues that we can't help with, we might as well calm down and think about whether we've overlooked something. For example, I can recall if your father ever told me about him selling something, but I'm sure he never told me, but there are always benefits to recalling, and it's not a bad decision to refresh the details. And you, can you recall who your father had frequent contact with? Maybe one of them can find someone to help us get the necklace back. But now, the most important thing is to calm down. She pointed to the melting ice cream in my hand and said, "Don't be as distracted as an ant on a hot pan." ”

Thinking about what Mi Zhen said does make sense, although she can't be as calm and relaxed as her, but impatience doesn't solve the problem, and suddenly, I think of another question: "Mi Zhen, aren't you going to work today?" ”

Mi Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter: "I, I have resigned a long time ago." ”

"Huh? Resigned. I never expected to hear this answer, and immediately asked, "After the necklace was stolen?" ”

Mi Zhen waved her hand at me, as if she had heard some funny joke, and coughed with laughter: "How is it possible, do you think the boss will let us go after discovering that the jewelry has been stolen?" In his eyes, we are all suspects. ”

"But you said you heard the story of the necklace from your boss after the jewel was stolen."

Mi Zhen raised her head and looked out the window: "When I listened to the story, the boss hadn't found out that the necklace was lost, and the safe where the necklace was stored was removed just a few days before the theft was discovered, so it didn't delay me for a while." It happened to be my last day there, and by the time my boss found out that the necklace was missing, I had already left the jewelry store, so I was able to survive before I was found. ”
