Chapter 3986: A Perfect Match (182)

Because the angle of the camera only caught her from her side, all they could see was that she made a move to raise her hand. Then she glanced at the price tag and quickly made a move to put the ring back in place. However, because of the angle, it was impossible to see clearly if she had put it back. The store manager saw this and began to make a big deal of it.

“So you did touch this ring.”

Naturally, Liang Yin was honest in her reply. “I did, because I thought it was beautiful. But when I saw the price, I thought it was too expensive. I was afraid I’d break it, so I put it back.”

The store manager was obviously convinced of her “stealing”.

“From this angle, who can tell if you actually put it back in place!? We only saw you pick it up. We didn’t see you put it back. Look—” The store manager pointed at the screen. “You’re obviously bluffing. Actually, you didn’t put it back, did you? The item is actually still with you!”

Liang was furious. “How would I know where the surveillance cameras are positioned?”

“Perhaps you had already surveyed the store?”

“Don’t be unreasonable. You obviously want to search me, don’t you?” Liang Yin was clearly indignant. “Let me tell you, I will not allow you to search me!”

The store manager was furious when she heard this. She pointed at Liang Yin accusingly and told the policeman. “Officer, look, look! What kind of attitude is this? She’s not cooperating with the investigation at all!”

Liang Yin retorted, “Am I an offender? Why should I cooperate with your investigation?!”

The policeman scolded them. “Stop arguing, both of you. Calm down! You can’t judge this matter based on a few actions! Trying to convict someone based on this is pushing it too far.”

With that, the policeman turned around and said to Liang Yin, “Miss, I think you’ve seen the recording. Indeed, from this angle it’s not clear that you’ve put the item back. Of course, we have no right to perform a search, but if you’re willing to cooperate with us, you can prove your innocence. Why not? Let us check the items you have on you. If the missing item is indeed not on you, you can just cooperate with us and take a statement. Then you can go home. Nothing will happen.”

Liang Yin insisted, “I will only follow the rules. If you have a search warrant, I guarantee that I will cooperate with you and allow a search. If not, no one has the right. This is also my right! You have no right to violate it!”

……

The store manager got anxious. “Stop pretending! Don’t you know if you took it or not? Hurry up and return it!”

Although this sapphire ring was not the most expensive item in the store, it was still worth hundreds of thousands. If it were to go missing for no reason, the manager would lose her job! Of course she was anxious. She might even have to compensate out of her own pocket! How could she afford something that cost hundreds of thousands?!

Thus, she got agitated.

However, Liang Yin was determined. “Give up! Do you think I’m the kind of person who will humiliate myself?! I’m clearly innocent, so why should I let you search me?! Only criminals will be searched, right?!”

The store manager also clamored, “If you’re innocent, then why are you looking so guilty!? You can just show us everything you have. If you really don’t have it, who would want to waste their time on you?!”

Liang Yin seethed with anger.
