Chapter 16 — Staying at Thanh Ba Host

"In the future, we will collect evidence in accordance with the law." Phuong Dung's voice was high-pitched. "You can't use this to harm me." I looked at her. "That's what you said." "I'm a stupid cousin, easy to deceive." Phuong Dung's lips trembled for a long time. "That happened many years ago." "At that time, I just blurted out a random thing." Co Tue Cam stood up. "You said the child was playing with the computer, it was also talking nonsense." "You said Tieu Man deserved it." Being sent to boarding house is also nonsense." "You said that Duong Nhan took advantage of your house, it is also nonsense." "Phuong Dung, this mouth of yours, why does it always poke at other people's hearts?" Phuong Dung was questioned until her face turned pale and pale. Uncle was silent and didn't say a word. His previous aura had disappeared, leaving behind only awkwardness and humiliation. She cried exhaustedly, leaning against the wall, her eyes empty. The police asked Phuong Dung if she was willing to coordinate contact with Lao Tan. Phuong Dung hesitated for a long time. She asked: "If I cooperate, can you not prosecute me?" The police said: "Whether you cooperate or not, we will record it truthfully." "But whether to prosecute or not, is not a verbal decision at this time." Phuong Dung looked at me. "Duong Nhan." "Say one thing." "As long as you get your bracelet back, don't sue me." "From now on I will never go to your house again." I looked at the bedroom door. Tieu Man is still in there. She was originally drawing pictures, watching cartoons, and eating dinner. But because of an adult's malice, she learned to be afraid. I said: "You cooperate, that's what you have to do." "Whether or not I prosecute is up to me and my family." A trace of resentment flashed through Phuong Dung's eyes. But she had no other choice. She can only call Lao Qin again at the request of the police. As soon as the phone rang, Old Qin's voice rang out with laughter. "Thinking clearly?" Phuong Dung pressed her shaking hand. "I don't have that much cash." Old Qin snorted contemptuously. "Stop acting." "Aren't you staying at your rich cousin's house?" "The house is big, the old lady even defends the children." "That type of person is the most afraid of losing face." "You make a fuss." Just a minute, tell her daughter to steal things, tell her mother-in-law to bully her." "They want to keep things quiet, what is ten thousand?" I clenched my fists. Lam Tranh pressed the back of my hand. His hands are very steady. But I can feel that he is also very angry. There were beads of sweat on Phuong Dung's forehead. "How did you know I was at his house?" Old Tan laughed. "You sent me a text message this afternoon, didn't you say it yourself?" "You said the story had already broken down and wanted me to help you smooth the surface." "I'll help you, of course I have to charge a fee." The police wrote a few words on the paper. The guide continued. Phuong Dung gulped. "Is the bracelet really at your place?" Old Tan lost patience. "The video was sent to you, too." "You brought it to me and broke it. When you came back, you cried and begged me to help you find a similar one." "I saw you were pitiful, so I helped you make a play." "Who would have thought that after all these years, you would still be so cruel." Phuong Dung closed her eyes, tears falling. But this time no one came to help her. Old Tan continued: "I tell you, tonight at eleven o'clock." "You come alone." "Don't bring your parents, let alone your cousin." "If not, I will send that recording directly." Phuong Dung asked according to the words the police wrote: "Where do you want me to put the money?" Old Tan said: "Next to the trash can at the back door of the old tea shop in the south of the city." "Put down the money, you can go." "I will find another place to give you the bracelet." The police wrote again. Request to see goods. Phuong Dung looked at the words and read: "No." "I have to look

saw the bracelet." Old Qin replied. "Do you have the right to make conditions with me now?" "Don't forget, you said something more cruel in the past." "You said that bracelet was given to you by your cousin's husband's family anyway, even if he lost a thing, he wouldn't dare to complain." My stomach cramped, cold. My mother's face was scary white. Co Tue Cam slowly clung to the edge of the table, but her eyes were still on. pinned on Phuong Dung. Phuong Dung screamed in despair: "Stop talking." The other end of the line was silent for a second. Old Tan seemed to hear something unusual. "Is there someone next to you?" Phuong Dung panicked and raised her head to look at the police. The police immediately signaled her to calm down. Phuong Dung took a breath. "No." "My mother just came in, I'm just upset." Old Tan snorted coldly. "Stop playing tricks." "If you haven't seen me at eleven o'clock, I'll sell the things to someone else." "After all these years, the price of gold has increased quite a bit." The phone hung up. The police immediately arranged further action. They asked Phuong Dung to come to the station to record detailed testimony, and asked us to bring along the pawning receipt, the current bracelet, the purchase receipt and related videos. Co Tue Cam went into the room to see Tieu Man first. Tieu Man was no longer crying.
