The manager looked at Mu Huan, but when he saw her face, he frowned. This girl looked like a high school student. How could she have changed their necklaces? Hence, he looked at the counter employee and asked, “Are you sure?”
“How could I have made a mistake?! I’ve worked in the store for more than ten years, and I can pick out the real and fake necklace with just one touch!” The counter employee did not expect that the manager would not suspect this young lady. He even asked if the employee had made a mistake. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red!
The manager gestured for someone to bring those over and took a closer look. It was indeed fake. He looked at the counter employee and asked, “Were there any other guests with her just now?”
The three diamond necklaces that had been swapped out looked as if they were real. From their appearance, it was impossible to tell that they were fake. If it weren’t for the fact that the person who was in charge happened to be the most experienced counter employee in their store, they would have let the person go!
To be able to create such an identical fake necklace in advance, this wasn’t something just any person could commit. She must have an accomplice!
“Yes. Just now, a man and a woman were picking with her. The woman said that this young lady was picking a diamond necklace for her mother to be filial, so she also wanted to pick a necklace for her mother. The man generously asked me to take out more and better ones so that the woman could pick whatever she wanted. I saw that they were dressed decently and thought that they were going to buy them, so I took out all the items for them to pick. When this young lady saw that I had taken out more, she also picked from among them. After a while, the man picked up a call and said that something urgent had happened, so he didn’t buy anything and forcefully dragged the woman away. The moment they left, this young lady called someone and said that her mother didn’t like diamonds and liked jades. She said sorry that she didn’t buy anything and would have to leave. When I checked the necklaces, I found out some of them were fake ones!”
The counter employee roughly explained the situation.
“Have only the three of them touched these necklaces?”
“Yes, only the three of them!” the counter employee said affirmatively.
When the manager heard this, he confirmed that this was a crime committed by a gang. Hence, he turned to look at Mu Huan again and thought to himself, Indeed, one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Such a young lady would actually do such a thing. However, she must be a newbie. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been stopped. Thinking of something, he said, “Young lady, I think you’ve been used by someone. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left first and left you behind. It’s best if you tell us all their information. If you can help us get the items back, we won’t hold you accountable.”
The necklaces were definitely not with this young lady. The goods had been transferred away by her partner. If they wanted to get back the goods in the shortest time possible, they had to break through using this young lady.
Mu Huan had initially thought that the store was a black shop, but the expression on the counter employee’s face did not look like it was fake. Furthermore, on careful thought, there was indeed something wrong with the woman who was looking at the necklace beside her. She picked up everything that Mu Huan had seen and taken a look at. Furthermore, if the shop assistant wasn’t involved, the other party must have planned and prepared everything beforehand.
When they saw her coming in, the other party made use of her and picked out necklaces with her. This way, not only would they be able to complete the stolen mission, but they would also be able to make the shop suspect Mu Huan and buy time to escape.
They actually dared to make use of Mu Huan and even wanted her to take the blame! She really wanted to have a do-over and find the two of them to give them a good thrashing! Didn’t they know that harming someone like this could cause people to die?!
