Chapter 5 — Fake Rich Roommate

“This necklace is an auction-grade ruby, the invoice price is one hundred fifty-six thousand yuan.” Seeing the number on the certificate, the academic advisor took a cold breath. A theft in a university where the amount of money involved exceeds one hundred thousand yuan is definitely a serious enough incident to be on social news. “No need to check the school's cameras anymore, I've already checked.” I turned the computer screen towards them and pressed the play button. After watching the video, the academic advisor's face turned pale. "The nature of this is too serious! I will immediately notify the department leader and contact the police!" Everything progressed faster than I imagined. At eight o'clock in the evening, Tu Uyen Uyen hummed as she pushed open the dormitory door and entered. In her hand, she was carrying several cups of high-quality milk tea, with a proud smile on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, like the arrogant young lady from a rich family had returned. "Oh, is everyone here? This lady is happy today, so I invite you to drink..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw the academic advisor sitting in the middle of the dormitory with two uniformed policemen. The cups of milk tea in her hand fell to the ground with a thud, splashing onto her pants leg. "Advisor... police comrades, what... is going on?" Tu Uyen Uyen's face turned pale, forcing out a smile. A policeman stood up, looking at her with sharp eyes. "You are Tu Uyen Uyen, right? We received a report that a serious theft occurred in this dormitory. We hope you will cooperate in the investigation." 13 Hearing the three words "theft", Tu Uyen Uyen's body immediately staggered. Instinctively, she turned her head to look at me, panic flashed in her eyes, but quickly hid it. "Comrades of the police, are you mistaken? How could there be a thief in our dormitory? Everyone's belongings are still intact." She even turned to pretend to ask me: "Lin Hieu, have you lost something? Do you need me to help you find it?" Looking at her face that was still acting like she was about to die, I also feel tired. The police didn't waste any words, directly took out the tablet. "Tu Uyen Uyen, where are you at 2:15 this afternoon?" "I... I self-study in the library." She stubbornly lied. "Are you sure? We need to check your student card swipe history." Tu Uyen Uyen bit her lip and quickly corrected herself: "Ah, I remember. I went back to the dormitory to get things in the afternoon, then went to the city center." went for a walk.” The police officer nodded, pushing the tablet in front of her. “If you have returned to the dormitory, then please explain this video.” The video began to play. In clear images, Tu Uyen Uyen expertly pried open my drawer and took away the ruby necklace. Irrefutable evidence. Tu Uyen Uyen's psychological defense completely collapsed. She fell to the ground, pointed at me and shouted loudly: "I didn't steal! It was Lam Hieu! It was she who deliberately placed the necklace in the drawer to lure me!" "The police comrades don't know, she is always jealous because my family has money, deliberately setting a trap to harm me!" These words that changed black and white made those present so angry that they burst into laughter. I looked down at her from above. "Tu Uyen Uyen, you mean I spent one hundred and fifty thousand yuan to buy a necklace just to lure you into committing a crime?" "Who do you think you are to deserve me spending such a large amount of capital?" The police sternly interrupted her excuses. "Enough, put those words away. If you have admitted that the person in the video is you, then where did the things go?" Tu Uyen Uyen's whole body trembled, her voice was as small as a whisper. mosquitoes. “I... I sold it.” “Sold it to whom? How much did I get for it?” “I sold it to the owner of a used luxury goods store in my hometown.

The street behind the school... He... he gave me twenty thousand yuan..." Hearing this number, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. The ruby necklace was worth one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, but she sold it cheaply for twenty thousand. This was like exchanging a bar of gold for two baskets of white cabbage, so stupid that there was no way to cure it. 14 The police immediately divided into two groups. One group stayed at the dormitory to continue taking statements from Tu Uyen, the remaining group quickly went to the old luxury goods store behind the school to recover the evidence. Less than an hour later, the necklace was recovered intact. The owner of the second-hand shop was also taken to the police station on suspicion of handling stolen property. The academic advisor looked at the lost necklace and then found it again, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Classmate Lam Hieu, it's good to have found the item again. As for Tu Uyen Uyen..." The academic advisor looked at Tu Uyen Uyen sitting on the ground with disgust. "The amount of money involved exceeds one hundred thousand yuan, this is already a criminal case with an exceptionally large property value. The school will fully coordinate with the police, whatever needs to be handled will be handled like that." As soon as she heard this sentence, Tu Uyen Uyen suddenly seemed to go crazy, got up from the ground and rushed towards me.
