"The box, the box is gone!" Zhu Bairong shouted.

"What?" Everyone was amazed in unison.

"Wait, what's going on?" Zhu Haoran shouted indignantly, "Why hasn't the box been gone before it started!" ”

"It's easy, because the box is in my hand." Yang Wenbin showed a smile and took out the delicate jewelry box from his pocket to play with.

Everyone was taken aback and sighed, only Yan Junli looked at Yang Wenbin and smiled.

"When did you ......" Zhu Bairong looked at Yang Wenbin in surprise, "When was it taken away by you!" ”

"Everyone has a misunderstanding about this theft." Yang Wenbin said, "That is, everyone thought that the necklace was stolen after Miss Zhu Bairong left the room, but in fact, the necklace was stolen long before Miss Zhu entered the room!" ”

"How, how!" Yin Mingxu couldn't help but say.

"Absolutely. That's because the person who lied was Miss Zhu Bairong. Yang Wenbin said word by word, and Zhu Bairong on the side immediately turned white.

"Miss Zhu said that after she left the room at half past eight, she didn't know that the necklace had been stolen until she heard the movement upstairs, which was absolutely impossible." Yang Wenbin paced through the crowd, analyzing word by word, "Security, please ask, what kind of lock cylinder is used for the guest room door on this ship?" ”

One of the security guards replied, "Now I'm using a super B-level anti-theft lock cylinder." ”

Yang Wenbin nodded, squatted down and stroked the deadbolt of the door, "Yes, the current super B-level anti-theft lock is the best lock cylinder for anti-theft, and the key slot is double-sided concave plus S-type." After trials, it took at least 270 minutes for the thief to pick the lock. So at first I thought it was very strange, the door of the room was so well locked, and you see, the lock was very intact both in terms of keyhole and deadbolt, and there was no trace of being picked at all. ”

"Really." Mao Yingqin came up and looked at it, and said in surprise.

"Well, there are only two people who have the key to this room. The owner Zhu Bairong and the management personnel, but if the cruise management personnel want to open the door of the guest with a spare key, they must go through the double authentication of the front desk and the guest, and they will definitely leave a record, which is difficult to commit a crime. Then, there is only one person left who opens this door, and that is the owner of the room himself, Zhu Bairong. ”

Yang Wenbin stood up and faced Zhu Bairong, "The next thing is my guess." I'm afraid that Miss Zhu, the necklace you brought with you was stolen before you went back to your room at night, but you didn't find the box empty until you returned to your room and wanted to put the necklace in your room. You were very flustered, but you didn't say anything to anyone. I'm afraid that at that time, you decided that the person who took your necklace must be Zhu Haoran and his wife. After all, they have always disagreed with you and always want to take the necklace. So you left the room in a rage and panic, leaving the door closed, leaving only an empty jewelry box in the room. I'm afraid that you didn't go to Mr. Zhu Zhixin to discuss any family business, but just wanted to ask him to come forward and get the necklace back or something, so as to avoid a direct conflict with your uncle again. ”

Zhu Bairong lowered her head.

"Then why did it cause such a riot, and you still didn't tell everyone the real situation?" Yin Mingxu couldn't help but ask.

"That's because ......," Zhu Bairong said with some embarrassment, "After listening to my uncle and aunt's alibi, I quickly realized that they were not thieves, but I misunderstood them......"

Yang Wenbin nodded, "It seems so." ”

"In that case, wouldn't all the alibi certificates of all the staff be invalidated?" Yan Junli asked, "I can't determine the time of the crime." ”

"No, don't worry." Yang Wenbin smiled, and took the jewelry box in his hand again and played with it, "When I took the box from Miss Zhu Bairong's pocket just now, I just stole it. But our thieves used a more clever trick to make it difficult for Miss Zhu to find out that the necklace was missing. ”

"A more clever approach?"

"Drop the bag." Yang Wenbin said, "This thief used an almost identical empty jewelry box, and the jewelry box containing the necklace of Miss Zhu fell off. Although I don't know why the thief has a jewelry box that is exactly the same as Zhu Bairong, this technique is indeed very beautiful. Even if Zhu Bairong cared about the necklace, she would only take out the box and take a look. And since the box is exactly the same, as long as Zhu Bairong doesn't open it, she won't find out that the necklace was stolen. ”

"And since the boxes are identical, how did you find out?" Zhu Haoran couldn't help but ask.

"Let's take a look at the inside of this box." Yang Wenbin opened the box and showed the inside to everyone to see, "The inside of the box is a soft sponge filled to protect the jewelry. You can see that even if the inside is empty now, you can still see the traces of the original jewelry squeezed inside, right? ”

"Indeed, there are two small circles." Yan Junli leaned over and looked at it for a while and said.

"But the small circle is obviously not a trace of a necklace, right? If Miss Zhu Bairong is intoxicated, the sponge pad should be squeezed out of a gentle semi-circular arc. The small circle in this box was supposed to contain something like a ring. Yang Wenbin judged, "This box should be the thief's own thing, not the box that Miss Zhu used for the necklace." ”

"And who is that thief?" Mao Yingqin asked.

"Luo Yan." Yang Wenbin raised his chin to the little girl in the crowd who had been silent and didn't speak, "You should know best what this is going on." ”

Luo Yan's face turned pale all of a sudden, she raised her head suddenly, and argued vigorously, "Why! Why do you say I did it! Anyone present can do this kind of thing! ”

"First of all, Yan Junli will be framed and suspected, and the culprit is you!" Yang Wenbin pressed step by step, "Pretending that something urgent had happened, and leading Yan Junli to Zhu Bairong's room." What you think is still very smart, you want to use Zhu Bairong's reluctance to expose her psychology to find an alibi for yourself, and by the way, frame Yan Junli, who has always been unaccustomed to it. But look down at your own fingernails. ”

Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand and looked down at it, and was stunned.

"Your nails are still painted with the bottle of nail polish on the counter when you visited the gift shop this afternoon, you must have dropped Zhu Bairong's box before the nail polish dried." Yang Wenbin showed the box in his hand to everyone, but there was a small purple mark on the delicate box, and the color was exactly the same as the color on Luo Yan's nails, "So do you have anything else to say?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Luo Yan panicked, looking left and right, as if trying to find a way to escape, but found that all sides were already full of people.

"It turned out that you stinky girl stole my necklace!" Zhu Bairong, who learned the truth, immediately became furious, she took two steps forward and stretched out her hand to Luo Yan, "Hurry up and give me back the 'drunkenness'!" Do you know what an important thing that is! ”

Luo Yan glared at Zhu Bairong, grabbed the necklace from her pocket in a half-sound, and before she could hand it to Zhu Bairong, Zhu Bairong snatched it back roughly. Then something happened that everyone couldn't react, Zhu Bairong snatched back the necklace with her left hand, and then slapped Luo Yan's face with her right hand, so strong that the defenseless Luo Yan was directly beaten to the ground.

"You hateful stinky who steals things!" Zhu Bairong scolded loudly, "You should let Yin Mingxu throw you off the boat directly!" ”

In this way, the scene suddenly got out of control. Zhu Bairong wanted to fight Luo Yan again, but was held down by Yan Junli, who rushed up.

"Wouldn't it be nice if the necklace was recovered! Miss Zhu, calm down! Yang Wenbin also hurriedly dissuaded.

"She stole my most important thing, how can she just forget it!" Zhu Bairong was still shouting angrily.

"Even if you want to be punished, you have to wait until you get off the ship!" Yan Junli said sharply, "No matter how impulsive you are, you should be the one who violates the law!" ”

As soon as Yan Junli said this, Zhu Bairong finally calmed down a little, she flicked her sleeves angrily, and turned around and left the scene with a "hum". The people who were still gathered around looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"The incident has been resolved, let's all go back to sleep." Yang Wenbin said, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Slowly, the onlookers left. Only Luo Yan was still sitting on the ground, covering the hot half of her face, with tears in her eyes, biting her lip unwillingly.

"Alright, get up." Yang Wenbin held out his hand to her.

"Don't worry about you!!" Luo Yan shook off Yang Wenbin's hand fiercely, staggered to his feet, and ran away while crying.

"Hey!" Yang Wenbin wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Yan Junli.

"Leave her alone." Yan Junli shook his head, "She stole things, and she originally did it herself. ”

——————————————

On the cruise, Yang Wenbin and Yan Junli had a thrilling day. Thankfully, there were no more thefts or anything like that in the time since. But in the same way, Luo Yan did not appear in front of the two anymore. She seemed to have evaporated out of thin air on the huge cruise ship, and no one knew where she had gone.

But no matter what happens, the cruise ship is still moving unhurriedly, riding the scorching sun on the waves, and heading towards the destination unhurriedly.

It is less than three hours away from the southern island where Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin are on vacation.

"Please note that there are about three hours left before our destination, please pay attention to the time, pack your bags in advance to prepare for disembarkation, I wish you all a pleasant journey, thank you for taking the Empress cruise."
