"Why do you say that?"

"Zhong Lan has always hated me, because he is a very rude person, and often abuses his wife, and I have had several long conversations with my wife about these situations, and I sympathize with my wife's plight, so I persuaded her to divorce. When Zhong Lan later learned about this, she stole the ring from her wife and secretly put it in my wife's incense powder bottle when I was about to leave office. Isn't that a good reason for me to be wronged?"

Zhong Lan and his wife unanimously denied this defense, and also pointed out that the consul was a greedy person for money and profit.

Both sides said it clearly, which made the Security Bureau brainless. The case fell into the fog. It is vaguely felt that there is a huge conspiracy hidden in the case. The local security bureau felt that it was difficult to cope, so it reported the situation to the Dongzhou Security Bureau, and soon Inspector Wu Changhao came here to deal with the matter.

For four whole days, he was like a hound, going through every detail of the case like a sieve, and his keen insight did not spare even the slightest evidence.

He re-inspected every corner of Zhong Lan's mansion, questioned the servants again, and checked the rooms of the people present on the day of the incident, and he did not even let go of the post office.

On the fifth day, he quietly left there. It wasn't until a week later that Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Lan received such a telegram:

I will be waiting for you at 17 o'clock tomorrow at the Penglai Teahouse on Jiasi Street.

Wu Changhao

"Let's go, he might find a clue." Zhong Lan and his wife thought so at the same time.

Zhong Lan and his wife came to the teahouse at the appointed time to meet with Inspector Wu Changhao.

They found that Wu Changhao also invited many people: Professor Ji Baitao in the lottery case, the nephew of the late General Cai Wei, and the young gentleman Li Zhiwei with the right to inherit. Soon, the Minister of Security, Zhu Deli, also drove in, and when he walked into the teahouse, he found that the team leader, Kong Jie, had taken a subordinate to sit in an inconspicuous corner of the teahouse, pretending to be an ordinary tea guest.

"Wu Changhao, so heavily guarded, is there a major case?"

"Yes, in an hour, I want you to enjoy a series of finale shows that I have worked so hard to direct!"

"It's the murderer who is going to be arrested, so let's talk about the case first."

"Let me begin by stating to you that Mr. and Mrs. Tostey have no connection with the theft of the stones."

"Oh!" Hearing the news, the most surprised person was Zhong Lan and his wife.

"The reason is that on the third day of the theft of the gemstone ring, the three VIPs in Zhonglan's mansion drove to Luyun Town, two of them went to visit the nearby ancient battlefield, and the one left behind rushed to the post office to deliver a package."

"Is there anything suspicious about this?" Zhong Lan was surprised.

"It's really normal to send the package itself, but that person didn't use his real name, but used a pseudonym named Russell, which is an article to be found, and what is even more suspicious is that the recipient wrote Mr. Polo from Dongzhou. Mr. Polo moved the night he received the package and has been missing since. Ladies and gentlemen, there must be the sapphire in this package, and the above facts can be fully proven. Wu Changhao proudly reported the above situation,

"Is it a package from one of my two cousins?"

"It's not."

"That's Mrs. Xie Ya?"

"That's right, it's her."

"What do you mean...... My good friend steals my gems?" Mrs. Zhong Lan cried out.

Wu Changhao remained silent. "Please don't get excited, Mrs. Zhong Lan, think about it carefully, on the day of the auction, was Mrs. Xie Ya also there?"

"Yes, but she didn't sit with me!"

"Isn't she the one who persuaded you to buy gems?"

"Yes, or did she tell me that the gems were going to be auctioned."

"You have to think about it, it's a key to the case."

"Yes. Will she persuade me to buy it first and then steal it from me? She's not that kind of person, my friends and family......"

"You think of her as your friend or relative, but you've only known her for a winter! How much do you know about her? Since she met you, she has been so dedicated to getting close to you that you think she is a bosom friend at first sight, but you have been fooled, her family background and experience are fake, and she has lied to you!"

"Oh?"

"Not only that, Dongzhou doesn't have a noble lady named Xie Ya at all!"

"I still don't believe she's the one who stole the gems. If she stole it, why did she put it in the luggage of the consul couple?"

"I don't know about this, I haven't found out, it's best to ask her herself."

"So, then there is still Xie Ya?"

"There is no Mrs. Xie Ya, just an ordinary female jeweler, Mrs. Liya, who lives in Dongzhou, and her main customers are countrymen."

"Huh?"

"I went to her residence, told her that someone wanted to buy a diamond ring, and made an appointment to negotiate here, and I didn't reveal my security identity."

"So will she really come?"

"It was half past five,...... Well, almost. ”

Someone downstairs made a code, Wu Changhao stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, the show has begun, please hide next door first, and then come out when you hear me say hello." Minister, please stay, and let us see the blonde beauty again. ”

"What? Blonde beauty, you say it's the blonde beauty in the lottery case?"

"That's right, it's Bai Lang's helper, that blonde beauty, and the murderer who pretended to be a maid to kill General Cai Wei, she is coming up, get ready!"

With a gentle knock on the door, a woman pushed the door and entered. She was slender and had a not very good complexion on her face. Strikingly, her shiny blonde hair was dazzling.

When she entered, she saw only two men in the door, and one of them staring at her, and she couldn't help but retreat to the door with some timidity.

Wu Changhao hurriedly greeted her: "Madam, please wait, don't be afraid, this is the gentleman who bought diamonds, since you are here, let's talk to him first."

Wu Changhao asked her to sit down opposite the minister, and sat aside himself to observe her movements.

Wu Changhao found that this woman looked frightened and became more and more uneasy.

Wu Changhao saw it in his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart: "I can't run away from you, you also found that the situation is not good, I will never let you go this time." With this in his heart, he said with a serious face: "Mrs. Liya, there are some things that you can please take a look at." He took out a small bag from his bag, and inside it were a few strands of blonde hair that the general had clutched in his hand when he was dying.

"That's it, it's the hair of a maid working somewhere, and it's kind of similar to yours!"

He handed the hair to the woman and secretly observed her reaction, she didn't change her face, but said in surprise, "Yes, it's very similar, what's the problem?"
