Chapter 5 — Neighbors Occupied My House For Three Months, Finally Their Entire Family Had To Pay The Price

“He was the breaking point.”

“When we put the smart lock's data history in front of him, especially the record of unlocking with the 'permanent temporary passcode', his psychological defense immediately collapsed."

"He admitted that he opened the door and also admitted that he suggested that the whole family move in."

Police Officer Truong's voice became heavier.

"About the safe, he bit it to death and refused to accept it. He affirmed that he had never seen it from beginning to end."

“He said when the family moved in, that closet was empty, only a few old blankets.”

I raised my glass of water and took a sip.

“Of course he would say that.”

“Admitting illegal intrusion is at most just a matter of security and order.”

“But admitting to stealing a safe and 3,000,000 yuan in cash is completely different.”

Officer Truong nodded, clearly agreeing with my assessment.

“He thought that if we just bit him to death and refused to admit it, we wouldn't be able to do anything.”

"Because currently, other than the paint mark on the wall that you left behind, we still have no direct evidence to prove that the safe was still in that room after you left."

"He even hinted that it was possible that before going on a business trip, she had moved the safe to another place herself, and now deliberately slandered them."

I laughed.

“Slander them?”

"For what?"

“In exchange for them blatantly taking over my house for three months, then turning my house into a mess?”

“I'm afraid even he can't convince himself of this logic.”

"That's right."

Police Officer Truong replied.

“That defense is very weak.”

“But investigation must be based on a complete chain of evidence.”

“We need a witness or physical evidence to prove that the safe disappeared during their residence there.”

I put down the glass of water. Slightly lean forward.

“Officer Truong, a safe weighs 60 kg, I cannot move it alone.”

“When I first bought it, because it was so heavy, the elevator was almost overloaded.”

“In the end, I had to hire two employees from the moving company to carry it into the bedroom.”

Police Officer Truong's eyes lit up.

"Which moving company? Do you still have contact information?"

I took out my phone, opened the call history and payment documents.

“Brother One House moving company.”

“I still have the phone number of the captain in charge of that order, and also the payment history.”

"In the notes section, it is clearly written: 'Service for transporting bulky goods upstairs - Ho Bai safe'."

I turned the phone screen towards him.

“The payment date was August 16 last year.”

“Only one day different from the day I sprayed on the paint mark.”

“Those two delivery staff will definitely remember this order very clearly.”

“Because the drawers are designed to fit so tightly that they had to struggle to put the safe in the right position.”

“Then I also gave them an additional 200 yuan in thank you money.”

Police Truong immediately recorded all information. Then stood up.

“Contact this moving company immediately!”

“Find the two people in charge of orders that year!”

“Immediately take them to the station to take statements!”

“We have to hurry!”

The young policeman received the order and quickly left. The door to the testimony room closed. In There were only me and police officer Truong left in the room. He looked at me and was silent for a few seconds. Then suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

“Miss Tran... what do you do?”

I looked straight into his eyes and calmly replied:

“I am the head of the claims assessment department of an insurance company.”

Compensation assessment. To put it more simply, it is investigating insurance fraud cases. My daily job is to confront lies. Fake evidence. And human greed. Officer Truong nodded slightly. He seemed to understand everything. Understand why I left the paint mark from before. Understand why I retain all documents and transaction records. I also understand why I was always so calm from the beginning. Because in my eyes, the Vuong family's drama is no different from the clumsy insurance fraud cases I have handled. They are all people who think they are smart. But actually it's just prey. The one who has set the trap. At that moment, the phone rang. It's police officer Truong's phone. He picked up the phone. Just listening to a few short sentences, his face changed clearly.

“Found it?”

“That fast?”

He immediately said to the other end of the line:

"Okay! I understand!"

“You guys just stay at the scene!”

“Stabilize the situation first!”

“I'll be there soon!”

After hanging up. He looked at me. His eyes carried a very complex emotion.

“Our people just found something very surprising in Vuong Quan's old hometown.”
