Chapter 1125:1124 Vanished into thin air

After the auction item was won, it would usually not be handed directly to the buyer. Instead, it would be placed in the auction room at the back. Only after the buyer had paid the full amount could the treasure be taken away.

Shen Jing had come to pay the money, but as soon as she and Mother Tao entered the house, they saw the servants of the Tao family running out in a panic.

“Madam! The bracelets and earrings in the box are gone,” said the servant, Ah Ju.

“What?” Mrs. Tao didn’t understand what she was saying. “Speak clearly. What’s missing?”

Alt Ju swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “The thing that this lady took is gone! Just now, we were about to open the box to check the auction item, but as soon as we opened it, we found that the two bracelets and two earrings inside were gone. Now there’s only a necklace left.”

Mrs. Tao and Shen Jing looked at each other and quickly ran to the jewelry box. Sure enough, there were no bracelets or earrings inside, only a lonely necklace.

“Check the surveillance cameras! Find out who stole the bracelet and earrings!” Mrs. Tao was furious.

There weren’t many surveillance cameras installed in the Tao family’s house, but there were surveillance cameras in this room. However, after checking the surveillance cameras, they realized that no one had opened the box at all.

“How is that possible?” Mrs. Tao did not believe her.

“If no one opened the box, how could the bracelet and earring disappear into thin air?”

Shen Jing sighed. “Forget it, don’t look for it. There are still many guests here tonight. If the others find out that something is missing, they will gossip.”

Although she wanted to wear the jewelry designed by Tan Rou, it was probably not fated for her. She had already bought it and it was stolen by someone else.

Mrs. Tao was very annoyed. “If I had known earlier, I would have given this box a lock.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen jewelry designed by Rourou,” Shen Jing said regretfully. “It’s a pity that I can’t wear it.”

“Mom, what happened?” Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were originally looking at pocket watches. This was because Tan Rou had bought the pocket watch in the end. She didn’t want to wear it and just wanted to study the structure inside. If she said she wanted it, Zhuang Liu would give it to her directly. However, Tan Rou did not want to do that.

“The jewelry I just bought is missing.” Shen Jing said sadly, “That’s the jewelry you designed. I haven’t even worn it yet and it’s gone.”

“Gone?” Tan Rou walked to the box and saw that there was only the necklace left. “Have you checked the surveillance camera?”

“Yes. We’ve already checked the surveillance footage a few times,” Shen Jing said dejectedly. “We didn’t find anyone opening the box.”

“When we were on stage just now, the jewelry inside was still intact. It was a two-minute walk from the stage to the stage. If someone stole the jewelry, it must have been stolen during this period.” Tan Rou said.

Mrs. Tao’s eyes turned cold. “Who stole the jewelry? Hurry up and come clean now! If you admit it now, I can still have mercy on you! But if I find out that you stole it, you can directly head to the police station right now!”

The servants looked at each other and said that they did not steal it.

“Are you all unwilling to admit it? Then I’ll have to hand you over to the police station,” Mrs. Tao said regretfully.

“Forget it.” Shen Jing said again, “The old lady organized this charity event to acc.u.mulate good fortune. If people knew that there was a thief in the house, they would say that it was bad luck.”

Mrs. Tao was also very conflicted. “If you call the police over, they’ll interrogate the guests. It’s not something expensive. The guests definitely won’t steal it. The guests who came today are all more important. It won’t be good to affect their mood.”

“Mom, I think the thief is still here,” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou agreed with him. “Who was holding this jewelry box when we left the stage just now?”

A maid immediately said, “Ah Ju was carrying it. She must have stolen the jewelry.”

Ah Ju was the first person to discover that the jewelry was missing. When she heard the accusation, she immediately retorted, “It wasn’t me. When I came down, my stomach suddenly hurt, so I gave the jewelry box to Ah Jiao.”

The maid named Alt Jiao stuttered, “No! It wasn’t me… I didn’t… I didn’t steal anything…”
