The police arrived quickly, so fast that Er Shu didn't even react.

Grandma led the police around the house, detailing the items taken by Zhang Cuilan.

Roughly calculated, the amount far exceeded the threshold for filing a case.

The police comrades took it very seriously and immediately sent someone to bring Zhang Cuilan in for questioning.

She sat in the interrogation room wearing a silver bracelet, visibly flustered.

"Comrades, what do you mean by this? You brought me here for no reason, isn't that inappropriate!"

The investigating police didn't waste time with her and directly asked, "You know in your heart whether it's for no reason. Someone reported you for theft. First, explain where the bag in your hand came from."

Zhang Cuilan immediately became unhappy.

"Who is spreading rumors and falsely accusing me? How could I possibly steal? This bag was bought by me."

"Where's the receipt?"

Zhang Cuilan's eyes showed a hint of panic.

"It's been too long, I don't know where the receipt went."

Just as she was speaking, she saw me and Grandma bringing a guilty-looking Er Shu over. She instantly realized what was happening, then slammed the table and angrily pointed at me.

"Comrades, is this brat the one who called the police?"

"She's slandering me, you can't just listen to a little girl talking nonsense here. She's framing me, you need to arrest her!"

Zhang Cuilan glared fiercely at me, startling me. Grandma timely shielded me behind her and coldly replied to her.

"I called the police."

Zhang Cuilan was stunned, seemingly not expecting Grandma to take it this far. She panicked and quickly started throwing a tantrum.

One moment she accused Grandma of not cherishing the past, the next she claimed Grandma was targeting her.

The investigating police immediately reprimanded, "Zhang Cuilan, behave yourself!"

"I'll make it clear, we have clear evidence of what you stole. Answering is your chance to confess and accept the consequences!"

Hearing the words "conviction," Zhang Cuilan became even more flustered.

She cried, shouted, and even threatened to hang herself, insisting she didn't steal anything.

The investigating police couldn't handle her outburst and showed her the surveillance footage.

In the video, she went straight to my mom's dressing room as soon as she entered the house.

She casually looked through various items, checking prices online for those she didn't recognize.

After over half an hour of searching, Zhang Cuilan selected her targets: a Hermès Lindy bag worth , a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace worth , and a scarf my dad had just given to my mom, all of which she stuffed into her cloth pockets.

After the video played, the police asked Zhang Cuilan if she recognized herself.

To their surprise, she became even more hysterical.

"Ancestors, you're trying to force a confession!"
