Chapter 9 — Three Weeks of Closure

The child in her arms kicked her foot, and her toes just kicked the suitcase next to her. The suitcase was not locked properly, and from the zipper gap rolled out a corner of a box covered in black velvet. Tham Ngoc Cam's lens steadily pointed straight at that place. When Luc Thua Binh saw that box, his whole body felt like someone had given him a fiery slap.08The black velvet box got stuck in the gap of the suitcase. The breathing of everyone in the room seemed to stop for a moment. Luc Xuan Mai immediately bent down to pick it up. The police quickly stopped him first. "Don't touch it." Luc Xuan Mai's hand stopped in mid-air. Her face was red, her mouth still trying to argue. "Who knows how it got in there?" "Maybe the children were playing with it and then conveniently stuffed it in." Tham Ngoc Cam coldly looked at her. "Didn't you just say you've never seen it before?" Luc Xuan Mai was speechless. Vuong Chi Cuong immediately continued. "Children are young, it's normal to take the wrong things." "Moreover, the box is still there, nothing is missing." The policeman put on gloves, took out the box, placed it on the table and opened it. The moment the lid of the box was opened, Tham Ngoc Cam's face darkened. Inside there were only a pair of earrings and an old bill left. The gold bracelet, necklace, and even that ring were all gone. The blue veins on the back of Ha Minh Vien's hand stood out. Luc Thua Binh also stood there motionless. He stared at the half-empty box, his lips turned white. "Sister." "Where are the things inside?" Luc Xuan Mai felt as if his tail had been stepped on, his feathers ruffled. "Why did you ask me?" "I told you I didn't know." "Who knows, Ha Ninh took it away early, deliberately leaving the box behind so as not to harm us." Tham Ngoc Cam directly opened the photo Ha Ninh sent. In the photo, the box is open, the gold bracelet and necklace are all still there. Shooting time was twelve forty-six last night. Tham Ngoc Cam said. "This is the picture he sent me before going to bed." "At that time he was worried that the house was messy today, so he asked me to keep a copy as evidence for him." Luc Xuan Mai's face turned even whiter. Luc Duc Hai still wanted to try to eat sticky rice. "Who knows if that photo was taken before?" Tham Ngoc Cam opened the photo details. Time, location, file information, all clearly visible. Luc Duc Hai's voice fell silent. The police asked Luc Xuan Mai, "Whose suitcase is this?" Luc Xuan Mai did not speak. Vuong Chi Cuong said. "My wife's." The police asked again. "Did the suitcase ever leave your sight?" Luc Xuan Mai quickly said. "So many people came in and out, how can I remember?" The older child suddenly muttered softly. "Dad opened it." Vuong Chi Cuong turned his head sharply. "Shut up for me." The child trembled in fear. Tham Ngoc Cam immediately turned the lens towards that direction. "Don't scare the children." The police also frowned. "Pay attention to your attitude." Luc Thua Binh looked at Vuong Chi Cuong. "Brother-in-law, what are you doing opening my sister's suitcase?" Vuong Chi Cuong's face was extremely unsightly. "Get clothes." "It's hot like this, can't I change my clothes?" The older child said again. "Not to get clothes." "Dad took the black box and said. inside is sparkling." Luc Xuan Mai rushed forward to cover the child's mouth. "If you talk nonsense again, I'll go home and I'll beat you to death." The child's tears immediately fell. The police voice was strict. "Request not to hinder the testimony of children." Vuong Chi Cuong's forehead was sweating. He took out the cigarette pack and wanted to light the cigarette again. The manager immediately reminded. "Smoking of drugs is prohibited in the house." Vuong Chi Cuong angrily threw the bag of drugs back on the tea table. "I don't know what kind of gold bracelets and necklaces there are." "Children are mistaken." Tham Ngoc Cam suddenly asked. "You went out just now." Vuong Chi's eyes

Cuong flashed. "I'm going to buy beer." Tham Ngoc Cam looked at Luc Thua Binh. "How many minutes does it take to get here from the convenience store?" Luc Thua Binh replied in a low voice. "About ten minutes." Tham Ngoc Cam said. "He was gone for twenty-seven minutes." Vuong Chi Cuong got angry. "Are you following me?" Tham Ngoc Cam held up his phone. "I'm not watching at all." "I always record videos." "You leave and come back evenly." There is a clear time." The police looked at the manager. "Can we extract the hallway and elevator cameras?" The manager immediately nodded. "Yes." Vuong Chi Cuong's face completely changed. Luc Xuan Mai was also panicked. "Comrade police, it's really not necessary." "It's just a little misunderstanding between relatives?" Tham Ngoc Cam said each word. "Just now you said the children accidentally did it." "Now you say it was a relative misunderstanding." "Wait until the camera is extracted, are you still going to say, is it my daughter who personally brought the gift to you?" Luc Xuan Mai was speechless, his face expressionless. green. The police asked the manager to extract the camera. The atmosphere in the living room was so stuffy that it made it difficult to breathe. Luc Thua Binh stood next to the tea table, looking at the half-empty jewelry box.
