Chapter 68: Return to the Owner
"Oh, that's so pitiful!" Yingzi said as she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
He didn't forget the scene. The main reason for stealing the necklace was that she couldn't bear to see her mother being used as a maid anymore, and she was often busy sewing clothes and fetching water until midnight. His goal was to make his mother live a happy life, so after stealing the necklace, he mailed the money from the sale of diamonds to his mother under a pseudonym. These are just a child's thoughts, thinking that they can make their mother live a more comfortable life. ”
Whenever his mother was sick, he doubled the money to send her, but he himself was reluctant to buy a piece of candy, and little Ding Ding was such a very filial child. After unremitting efforts, finally, twenty-five years later, he and Long Futao became acquainted, and they were invited to participate in the family banquet held by Long Futao's family. At the banquet, they talked about the theft of the necklace twenty-five years ago, but what he talked about—what kind of court judge his father was, and what intricate and bizarre cases he had helped his father solve—were all nonsense, and he made it up himself. ”
When the topic shifted to the case of the necklace theft, he was stunned for a while, but finally submitted various evidences to prove that the thief who stole the necklace was the child, Little Tintin, not her mother.
At first, Madame did not believe what Kevin said, but when he presented all the evidence and explanations, she believed that Anne was innocent. By this time, he had finally washed away the stains and shame on his mother's reputation. ”
In the end, he very frankly admitted that he was the thief Little Tintin, much to the shock of everyone present, and then he took out the part of the necklace that had not been sold.
"He then told Long Futao: 'Actually, what is missing from the diamonds in this necklace is what I sold to an antique dealer, but they are all fake diamonds (man-made diamonds), and what is left here are real diamonds, and I will return them to their rightful owners.'" As he spoke, he calmly glanced at the people who were amazed, and then calmly walked out of Long Futao's mansion. ”
"In that case, the loss suffered by Long Futao is not very large."
Indeed, it is said that a long, long time ago, it is not clear who replaced some of the real diamonds on the necklace with some artificial diamonds. No, not by rumors, but by fact. But the owner of the necklace had no idea about it. The stolen diamonds were rumored to have been resold to a jeweller. Then, this hanging necklace went through all the twists and turns to the hands of the current Long Futao. ”
"I see...... But it is also extremely rare for something that has been lost to return to one's possession after a long period of twenty-five years, which is why the newspapers have publicized it so much. …… Alas! You see there's a ...... in this newspaper as well."
Yingzi picked up a copy of the "Afternoon Newspaper" by her side, which is one of the famous newspapers in Dongzhou. While she was engrossed in watching, she suddenly exclaimed: "Look at this...", the content of this news article is like this:
Twenty-five years ago, the famous diamond necklace stolen from the wealthy Long Futao's house, the necklace of the Qing Emperor's concubine, was recently discovered by the grand thief Bai Lang......
"Ha, in that case, isn't Kevin the same as Shiraro?"
"Probably." Lang Xiaobai smiled as he lit his cigar cigarette and smoked leisurely.
At this time, Yingzi, who had been staring at him, said, "However, there is one thing I still can't figure out. ”
"What?"
"The white man you just told me, Mr. Kevin, confirmed in Long Futao's mansion that little Ding Ding's mother was innocent, and it was clear and clear, as if you had seen it with your own eyes, did you also invite to be a guest at this family dinner?"
"Yes, I'm here too, otherwise how could I have known so thoroughly?"
"However, you once told me that the only female guests present at that time were Long Futao's two nieces, who were cousins; Are the male guests Chief Judge Tang Guohua, Senator Shao Wenbo, General Ruzel and Kevin? You're not included, are you?"
"No, I'm included." Lang Xiaobai said, but he also laughed very humorously.
Yingzi stared blankly at his face, and after a while, suddenly remembered something.
"Hah, you ...... It's Kevin, it's that white lang!" Her face turned pale.
"Well, whatever you want. All in all, I was one of the four men who were there at the time, and I can't be mistaken. As he spoke, he took a leisurely puff out of his cigarette, and his clear eyes were full of smiles.
"Suppose I was that Hakuro, would you be terrified? Will you be disgusted with me because of this?"
"Not really!" Yingzi shook her head and said, "I'll be even happier!" Even her earlobes were red with shame as she spoke, and her two large, beautiful eyes flickered and shiled, and then she exhaled deeply.
After a moment of pause, she said: "To tell the truth, before that, although you called yourself Bai Lang, but I couldn't see what kind of person you were, my attitude was ambiguous, and I couldn't guess what you were thinking, so I felt a little constrained...... But now that I know of what you have suffered since childhood, I am very ......" Yingzi was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, she looked directly at Lang Xiaobai, no, it was Bai Lang, staring at his masculine eyes.
In a trance, she felt that her heart had been completely attracted by his eyes.
