Chapter 248: Peeling Back the Cocoon

"Tell me, who is it?"

I thought there was no hope, but I didn't know that Li Xiumei's words behind me were almost a twist, which made Ma Lie and Song Ning stunned and asked in unison. 『』

Seeing such an excited reaction of the two, Li Xiumei really scared the deer, and replied nervously: "Boss, it's Miss Lu......"

"Miss Lu?"

Ma Lie frowned when he heard this, muttered to himself, and asked, "Who is Miss Lu?" Why did you let her come into the office without permission? ”

"I don't know, anyway, she claims to be surnamed Lu, about ten years old, dressed very noble and fashionable, and looks very good."

Li Xiumei recalled, while saying: "It was the night before yesterday that she walked around with us and took a fancy to a jade Guanyin statue worth 100,000 yuan in the VLP counter......

After Li Xiumei said this, Song Ning suddenly woke up, nodded and said: "Well, I also remembered, I happened to be depositing money in the bank the day before yesterday, and I received a call from you, but I couldn't pull it out for a while, so I asked you to deal with it yourself." ”

Li Xiumei continued: "Well, that Miss Lu bought 100,000 yuan of goods in one go, and she is a super VIP in our store. ”

"After getting the permission of Manager Song, I invited her into the office to sit down, pour tea and water for her, and sign the relevant invoices, etc., and finally she swiped the card, I gave her the Guanyin jade statue to see, and after confirming that there was no problem, the transaction was completed in the office."

"Gone?"

"Well, there's nothing else, after the deal is completed, she will go straight away!"

Li Xiumei's voice was soft and eloquent, and Ma Lie seemed unsatisfied, and said in surprise: "Usually, when VIPs come to the door, do you invite them to the office to entertain?" ”

Song Ning explained to him: "This VIP system is stipulated by me, but all customers who buy more than 30,000 yuan of goods in our store will be automatically upgraded to VLP VIP in our store, and we will issue them a VIP card for free, and the next time you come to buy, there will be a discount of 20% off." ”

Ma Lie gave a thumbs up when he heard this, and said approvingly: "When it comes to doing business, Manager Song, you are much better than me." Well, your method is good, go directly to the high-end route, and the money of the rich is the best to earn. ”

Song Ning lamented: "It's a pity that this preferential method has been formulated for more than a month, and there are only two times when you can buy the VIP standard." ”

"Twice, not bad." Ma Lie smiled with relief and asked casually, "Then who was it last time?" ”

Li Xiumei preemptively said: "Boss, it's still that Miss Lu, the last time was not long after this time, just last Sunday, she bought a piece of bloodstone worth 50,000 yuan, counting the jade Guanyin the day before yesterday, her purchase volume alone is two-thirds of the store's performance." ”

"It's her again, the young lady surnamed Lu?" Ma Lie muttered to himself, and suddenly became suspicious, and a smart and clever girl with a sharp mouth appeared in his mind.

"Rich, beautiful, and surnamed Lu, could it be her?"

"She?" Song Ning asked curiously: "Boss, do you know her?" ”

"I know a few young ladies surnamed Lu, but it's not her, I'm not sure yet."

Ma Lie raised his head, saw the camera placed in the office, and immediately ordered: "Manager Song, you go and help me transfer the video recorded by several cameras in the store to my computer, especially when Miss Lu came." ”

"Good!" Song Ning knew what he was going to do, so without saying a word, he sat down at her desk, turned on the computer quickly, and clicked on the store's monitoring system.

While Song Ning was busy, Ma Lie asked Li Xiumei a few more words, but in the end, there was no clue, so he asked her to go out first.

Song Ning turned back the surveillance video and instructed him: "Boss, come and see, the girl in the white dress is Miss Lu." ”

"Oh..." Ma Lie leaned over to take a look, and saw that what was captured in the camera was only Miss Lu's delicate back, and occasionally turned around, and was blocked by Li Xiumei's delicate face.

I don't know if she did it intentionally or deliberately, Ma Lie carefully checked the video playback for more than ten minutes, but still couldn't see the front of Miss Lu. From behind, I only know that she is of medium height, with a well-proportioned figure, with long hair in a shawl, and her walking posture is light and graceful, which is very attractive.

"Boss, I'll help you bring back the surveillance footage from the office." Seeing Ma Lie's confused eyes, Song Ning, who was sitting beside him, realized that Miss Lu in the surveillance playback did not have a frontal camera, so he directly snatched the mouse from Ma Lie and replaced it with the surveillance video of the office.

Ma Lie pinched her white palm, which was smooth and pink, not like a palm that often does rough work, and said with a smile: "Manager Song, you still know my heart." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Ning glared at him angrily, endured the torment of being harassed, quickly adjusted the monitoring playback to him, and finally dared to retract his wrist: "Boss, see for yourself." ”

Ma Lie liked to see her shy expression, and a 'salty pig hand' naturally grabbed her slender waist and smiled: "I don't understand, please watch it with me, okay." ”

"Obviously I want to take advantage of others......" Song Ning complained secretly, reluctantly on the surface, but in the end he still acquiesced to the groping pig hand wandering around and harassing him.

When the surveillance video of the office was played in turn, Ma Lie frowned again and said speechlessly: "What does this Miss Lu look like?" ”

Song Ning told him: "Miss Lu, you are very beautiful. ”

"How beautiful is that?" Ma Lie put his finger on Manager Song's chin and asked with a sigh: "I want to compare with my Manager Song, who is more beautiful." ”

"What's my business, don't mess around." Song Ning weakly pushed his fingers away, but he grabbed them in his hand, and said with a sullen smile: "I'm not messing around, help me analyze and analyze." ”

"Analyze what?"

"Even the surveillance playback in the office didn't capture the front of this Miss Lu, you say, is this still a coincidence, could the theft of the Ziyuan Exercise be done by her?"

"It should ...... No way? Song Ning was puzzled: "After she entered the office, she sat on the sofa until the transaction was over, and she left." ”

"It's weird, it's weird here!"

Ma Lie touched his chin, picked up the message note, and pondered carefully: "She said that she would return it in three days, if this is the case, it proves that she still has a little conscience." But there was no problem with the video playback, and on that day, the 'Ziyuan Gongfa' should still be there. ”

Hearing this, he gave Song Ning a wake-up call and wondered: "Boss, if it's really Miss Lu, then could she sneak in and steal it when we close the door at night?" ”

"Possibly!" As he spoke, Ma Lie immediately mobilized the computer mouse and adjusted the monitoring playback to 11 o'clock that night. That was Song Ning's last time off work.

However, outside of work, the lights are generally turned off at night in the store, and you can't see anything in the video, so it takes time to look for it slowly. Ma Lie's time was limited, so he took a quick way to browse, and advanced until about four o'clock in the morning, and finally found a glimmer of anomalies.

In the office, which had been dark, the light of a flashlight suddenly appeared, and two figures vaguely appeared, dressed and even unable to see whether they were male or female.

Because, the bright light of the flashlight only shone for a while, and then quickly went out, and then there was no movement.

Song Ning also saw it, and shouted in surprise: "Boss, there are two people, they must have stolen your treasure." ”

"Hmm......" Ma Lie replied in a low voice, got up and walked to the door of the office, carefully checked the location of the keyhole, and frowned: "The door lock is not abnormal, so how did they get in?" ”

Song Ning was suspicious: "There is only one possibility......"

Ma Lie continued: "They have the key, and the key to the door of the shop, they have it. ”

Song Ning suddenly thought of a terrible scene, and exclaimed, "Could it be ...... Is it done by someone inside? ”

"It's possible......" Ma Lie's words stopped, his sharp gaze swept out of the door, and suddenly shouted: "Who's outside?" ”

"Don't be nervous, it's me!" I saw Li Yaming take Li Xiumei's wrist, walk into the office together, and say with a smile: "Hehe, Boss Ma, I haven't seen you for a few days, when did your ears become so powerful, I just stayed at the door for a short time, and you saw through it." ”

Ma Lie reprimanded: "Say, what are you eavesdropping outside the door? ”

"That's the case...... Li Yaming was about to explain, but his wrist was pinched by Li Xiumei, and he hurriedly changed his words, "It's okay, I just saw the two of you sneaking around, sneaking, or stealing here, so I wanted to come in and see what was going on, haha, I didn't expect that you didn't do anything, it's a disappointment." ”

Ma Lie swept past Li Yaming, turned to look at Li Xiumei beside him, and asked, "Li Xiumei, he didn't mean it, and you, why are you eavesdropping outside?" ”

"I ......" Li Xiumei panicked, and timidly cast a look at Li Yaming for help.

Ma Lie saw it, slapped the table and shouted: "Classmate Li Yaming, I trust you so much, and what have you done to be sorry for me behind my back?" ”

Li Yaming said in a daze: "Boss Ma, although what you said is very true, I still don't understand." ”

"See what this is?" Ma Lie turned the computer monitor to the two of them, turned back to the pitch-black playback, and then fixed on the confused figure of the two people, and asked, "At four o'clock the night before yesterday, what did you two sneak into my office for, give me an honest explanation!" ”

"Well, no." Seeing that Ma Lie was really here, Li Xiumei explained in a panic: "We have never been here in the middle of the night." ”

Ma Lie asked coldly, "Then you often come during the day?" ”

"I ......" Li Xiumei paused for a moment, not knowing how to answer
