Chapter 296: Jumping off a building!
Hearing Aunt Liu's words, Shi Mubai's expression darkened further, and he said angrily, "But who else could it be but you! There are only the three of us in this house! Do you think my sister would be the one who stole things?"
Upon hearing Tang An's name, Aunt Liu quickly shook her head, "No, it's Miss Tang. Miss Tang is a good person; she wouldn't steal anything!"
Aunt Liu is a very simple person.
She will be good to whoever is good to her.
She felt that Tang An let her leave work early every day and spoke to her in a gentle and soft-spoken manner, so Tang An must be a good person.
“If it’s not you, and it’s not An’an, then who else could it be?” Shi Mubai continued, “My villa has the most advanced security system! Let alone a thief, even if a fly flies in, it will trigger an alarm.”
Although there were no surveillance cameras in the study, there were surveillance cameras all around the villa.
If a thief had actually broken in, Shi Mubai's phone would have received a message long ago.
Aunt Liu was extremely aggrieved. "Sir! It really wasn't me!"
Aunt Liu didn't know how to prove her innocence, so she held up three fingers and said, "I, Liu Ying, swear to God that if I stole Mr. Liu's design drafts, may I be damned and die a horrible death!"
Shi Mubai merely glanced at her coldly, "If swearing oaths were effective, what would be the point of having a police station?"
Aunt Liu was so wronged!
She really didn't bring the design drafts.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you really sure you don't have it?"
"No!" Aunt Liu shook her head. "I really don't!"
"Okay, no, right?" Shi Mubai nodded. "Then I'm telling you now, you're fired!"
After saying that, Shi Mubai turned and walked downstairs.
Aunt Liu caught up with Shi Mubai, "Sir, sir, I really didn't steal anything from home! You can fire me, you can fire me for not working hard enough! But you can't fire me for stealing!"
"Everything requires evidence. You say I stole your things, do you have any evidence?"
Tang An had just finished arranging the flowers when he saw the two of them coming downstairs one after the other.
Shi Mubai's face was full of anger.
Aunt Liu's eyes were red.
Tang An quickly guessed what had happened, but she pretended not to know anything and went over to ask, "Brother Mu Bai, what happened? Aunt Liu, why are you crying?"
Shi Mubai pressed his temples but didn't say anything.
Aunt Liu cried, "Miss Tang, the gentleman said I stole his things! But I really didn't steal his things! I didn't, I really didn't!"
Tang An immediately went to Aunt Liu's side, patted her back, and comforted her, "Aunt Liu, don't cry. I believe you wouldn't steal anything."
After saying this, Tang An looked at Shi Mubai, "Brother Mubai, I believe in Aunt Liu's character; she wouldn't steal anything!"
Mu Bai said angrily, "Besides her, there is no one else in this house. Who else could it be?"
"And me too! I'm an outsider too!" Strategists always get involved themselves, and Tang An knew how to say and do things to completely dispel Shi Mubai's doubts. "If you're going to have doubts, then both of you should have them. You can't just doubt Aunt Liu alone!"
At that moment, Aunt Liu's eyes were shining as she looked at Tang An.
How can there be such a wonderful girl in the world!
Shi Mubai didn't believe her, but Tang An did!
"Miss Tang, thank you, thank you for believing in me!" Aunt Liu burst into tears.
Tang An continued, "Aunt Liu, I know you're not that kind of person. Please go back and rest for a few days. My brother and I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and clear your name."
Aunt Liu nodded tearfully, took off her apron, and said, "Miss Tang, I'll be going now."
"Okay, you can go back now."
Watching Aunt Liu's retreating figure, Shi Mubai frowned and said, "It's her! It must be her! An'an, you're just too kind-hearted to believe that a thief is a good person."
Aunt Liu's tears, which she had finally managed to hold back, burst forth again at this moment.
Only after Aunt Liu left did Tang An continue, "Brother Mu Bai, we don't have any evidence right now, it's all just your own speculation! It's not too late to confront her after you find real evidence."
Shi Mubai nodded. "Yes, I'm sure I can find the evidence."
A glint flashed in Tang An's eyes.
With an idiot like Shi Mubai, he probably won't find any evidence in his entire life.
As soon as Aunt Liu rode her electric bike back to the neighborhood, an acquaintance recognized her. "Sister Liu, aren't you going to work today? Why are you back so early?"
Aunt Liu didn't know what to say, so she forced a smile and said, "Yes, I'm off today."
Before long, we arrived home.
Aunt Liu lives alone.
She was abusive in her early years, so she brought her children to Beijing to make a living. After her children grew up, they went to school in other places and later stayed in other places to get married and have children. Young people are not used to living with the elderly, and she was also afraid of causing trouble for her son and daughter-in-law, so she stayed in Beijing and would occasionally take the high-speed rail to visit her son and daughter-in-law.
After returning home, Aunt Liu sat on the sofa, feeling increasingly sad.
She had been a nanny for over a decade, and this was the first time she had been wrongly accused of stealing.
She is truly innocent!
She didn't steal anything!
Aunt Liu sat on the sofa in the living room for the entire afternoon.
From day to night.
She spent the entire afternoon reflecting on herself.
Why is her life such a failure?
She was abused by her husband when she was young.
In middle age, he was disliked by his children.
The nanny is suspected of being a thief by her employer!
After a long while, Aunt Liu finally stood up from the sofa, found a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote a line on the paper:
I'm not a thief!
After writing this line, Aunt Liu stood at the window and jumped.
boom!
A dozen seconds later, the sound of a huge object hitting the ground came from outside.
The elderly people who were with their grandson in the community square spotted Aunt Liu as she landed immediately.
"Someone jumped off the building!"
"My God! From which floor did she jump? She's injured like this!"
"Where's her head? Where's her head?"
Then came the sounds of police cars and ambulances.
When Shi Mubai received the call from the police station, it was already past 2 a.m. Because he was Aunt Liu's employer, and because of the note Aunt Liu left behind, the police station immediately followed the clues and found Shi Mubai.
Shi Mubai was naturally not in the mood to sleep today; he was still looking for evidence that Aunt Liu was a thief.
Upon hearing the news of Aunt Liu's death by jumping off a building, Shi Mubai was shocked and his legs were trembling. He quickly grabbed his phone and went outside.
died!
Aunt Liu is dead!
Could it be that I really misunderstood Aunt Liu?
For a while.
Shi Mubai felt very uncomfortable.
That was a life!
A living, breathing life!
If he had known that Aunt Liu would jump off the building because of this, he shouldn't have said such harsh things during the day.
Tang An was also on the first floor. She had come down to get a drink of water when she saw Mu Bai walking out in a hurry. Tang An asked, "Brother Mu Bai, what happened?"
"Aunt Liu jumped off a building and died." Shi Mubai said, emphasizing each word.
"Jumped to her death?" Tang An covered his mouth with his hand, shocked. "She...she didn't commit suicide out of guilt, did she?"
Upon hearing this news, Tang An was overjoyed!
She was just worried about not having a scapegoat!
did not expect.
That idiot Liu Ying actually delivered herself right to my doorstep!
Suicide out of fear of crime?
Upon hearing this, Shi Mubai was visibly taken aback.
Seeing Mu Bai's reaction, Tang An immediately waved his hand, "Brother Mu Bai, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. I just think that if someone isn't afraid of death, why would they be afraid of being wronged by others?"
"If you really wronged her, her innocence will be cleared one day. Why would she commit suicide?"
Originally, Shi Mubai felt guilty when he heard the news of Aunt Liu's death, but after hearing Tang An's words, he felt no guilt at all.
Tang An is right.
If a person is not afraid of death, why would they be afraid of being wronged?
She clearly couldn't bear the pressure after the incident, so she committed suicide out of guilt!
Thinking of this, Shi Mubai said angrily, "An'an, you're right! She must have committed suicide out of guilt! An'an, go to sleep, I'm going to the police station to give a statement and I'll be right back."
"Okay." Tang An nodded.
Shi Mubai spent the night at the police station, cooperating with the police to take many statements. When he came out of the police station, it was already past 1 p.m. the next day.
As soon as he came out of the police station, Qi Chengze, who was waiting there, went up to him and asked, "Mu Bai, what exactly happened? Why did you end up in the station all of a sudden?"
With such a big incident at CL Jewelry, Qi Chengze naturally had to come back to help Shi Mubai deal with the problem.
So he flew back from abroad overnight!
But he didn't expect that as soon as he got off the plane, he would hear the news that Shi Mubai had been arrested.
Shi Mubai scratched his head and recounted what had happened.
"Aunt Liu must have committed suicide out of guilt! I'm sure I can find evidence that she stole things!"
After hearing the whole story, Mu Bai exclaimed, "Mu Bai! You're so foolish! How could you frame someone without any evidence? That was a human life!"
"Your sister, Tang An, is clearly the prime suspect, yet you're doubting an innocent aunt! That's completely wrong of you!"
Shi Mubai also felt wronged. "She committed suicide. What does it have to do with me? Besides, if she really felt that I had wronged her, she could have found evidence to prove her innocence. Why did she have to jump off a building?"
Qi Chengze's words made it sound as if he had pushed the person down, which infuriated Shi Mubai.
"You say I wronged an innocent aunt, but didn't you also wrong my sister without any evidence?"
Qi Chengze also had a headache. "Let's not talk about this now, let's go to your house and take a look!"
Shi Mubai suppressed his anger and nodded.
Half an hour later, Shi Mubai brought Qi Chengze to the villa.
Tang An went out and isn't home right now.
The villa was empty.
Qi Chengze had been here before, so he knew the way well and went upstairs, opened the door to the study, and went inside.
As soon as he entered, Qi Chengze saw the camera above the corner of the wall. He frowned slightly. "Don't you have surveillance cameras in this study?"
Shi Mubai said, "That surveillance camera has been broken for a long time."
"Is it broken?" Qi Chengze walked to the monitor and looked at it from left to right. "Was the power cut off during this time?"
Shi Mubai shook his head, "After it broke, no one touched it."
At this point, Shi Mubai sighed, "If only this camera wasn't broken!"
The fact that the camera wasn't broken proves Tang An's innocence!
"Send me the monitoring account and password!" Qi Chengze then said.
Qi Chengze narrowed his eyes. "When I was still a nobody, I met a hacker on the internet. Later I found out that he was J, a big shot in the hacker world. Maybe J can help fix the surveillance."
Shi Mubai's eyes lit up instantly. "So, we can find evidence that Aunt Liu is the thief!"
At this point, Shi Mubai continued, "Chengze, if the surveillance footage shows that Aunt Liu is the thief, you must apologize to An'an in person!"
