259 Police
Looking at Gu Rou’s hypocritical smile, Gu Man felt impatient. She pulled her hand out. “Let’s do what we have to do.”
Gu Rou gritted her teeth and glared at Gu Man fiercely. She looked around but did not see Old Master Cui. She made up her mind.
Since Old Master Cui did not follow, it seemed like he still did not take Gu Man seriously. This gave her a chance. Whether it was true or not was up to her.
“Sister, my original intention was to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. I didn’t expect you to be unrepentant. In that case, let’s go through the procedure.”
Li Hua’s gaze kept lingering on Gu Man and Gu Rou, trying to tell who was telling the truth and who was lying.
Perhaps because of the negative example of Gu Yuan and Qu Bei, Li Hua had a good impression of Gu Rou.
“Mr. Policeman, back then, because of some conflict at home, Sister insisted on leaving, so we didn’t stop her. If she took something else, we wouldn’t mind. After all, we’re family, but she took a necklace worth millions. Brother Zhang gave it to me. It’s very important to me. I hope you can help me find it.”
“I will, Miss Gu Rou.”
Li Hua nodded. Seeing this, Gu Rou turned her head slightly and the corners of her lips curled up into a provocative but also unintentional smile.
The so-called investigation was just to enter the house and look at the surveillance footage.
Although there was no time to delete the surveillance footage, only the hall and corridor had surveillance cameras.
There were no surveillance cameras in the room, so they could only see Gu Man dragging a suitcase out.
Moreover, it had been too long ago. There was no way to investigate. They could only find some clues through asking.
“Miss Gu Man, can you tell me about the situation?”
“They chased me away. I didn’t want to stay in the Gu Family anyway, so I took my things and left,” Gu Man said.
“Are you sure you didn’t take anything else?”
Gu Man glanced at Li Hua lightly. It was clearly just a look, but it made one feel an unexplainable pressure.
Li Hua’s frown deepened and the corners of his mouth straightened.
“No.”
Li Hua felt the pressure on his body dissipate and heaved a sigh of relief. He recorded something in the book.
Of course, he knew that Chief Ou supported him because he wanted him to stand up for Gu Man, but to Li Hua, investigating the truth was the most important. “What evidence do you have to prove that you didn’t take anything?”
When Gu Man heard this, she chuckled and leaned back in her chair, her posture arrogant.
“Do you think the Gu Family has anything worth taking?”
Li Hua thought about the person behind Gu Man and silently noted it down without saying anything.
If Old Master Cui was Gu Man’s backer, the Gu Family’s million-dollar necklace was probably not worth mentioning in Gu Man’s opinion.
The next question was especially effortless because everyone’s evaluation of Gu Man was surprisingly uniform.
“Sister has always had some bad habits, but she’s my sister after all, so I’ve been enduring her at home. I just didn’t expect her to have designs on the million-dollar necklace Brother Zhang gave me.”
Gu Rou paused, her lowered eyelashes fluttering. “Besides, Sister has always been interested in Brother Zhang. I don’t mean to slander Sister, but she might take the necklace Brother Zhang gave me because she likes Brother Zhang.”
“If possible, I really want to pretend that I didn’t ever adopt her. Ever since she came to the Gu family, the family has been in chaos.”
When Gu Yuan mentioned Gu Man, his face was red. Of course, he was not shy, but angry.
It was as if the mention of this name would easily provoke his anger.
“Sheriff, let me say something unpleasant. Gu Man has always been dirty. Previously, I just turned a blind eye, but that’s a million yuan. Although our Gu Family has some money, we can’t just throw away a million yuan and be indifferent. Moreover, it’s not our own and it was given to us by someone else. How bad would it sound?”
Qu Bei was beaming with joy as she spoke, her saliva flying everywhere. She looked like a shrew.
