"Those things were all voluntarily given to me by my aunt, how can you call it stealing!"
Zhang Cuilan shouted at the police in desperation.
The police were not lenient with her, directly asking who would send things when the owner was not present, and who would accept gifts cautiously to avoid being seen by others.
Zhang Cuilan couldn't explain herself.
Because she knew in her heart that the so-called "voluntary gifts" were just her grandmother disapproving of her father spending money on her mother, but not daring to confront her father directly, so she pretended not to know and let her take them.
She never imagined that her grandmother had changed her attitude and installed surveillance cameras in the house!
Faced with solid evidence, Zhang Cuilan couldn't prove her innocence no matter how many excuses she made.
In desperation, she chose to drag her second aunt into this.
"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, say something!
"You knew I took these!
"You said it's okay to take whatever and however much I want! Speak up!"
With just two sentences, a simple theft case turned into a coordinated crime.
The police naturally wouldn't overlook such voluntarily offered clues, so the focus of the inquiry shifted to the second aunt.
"Did you ask her to take these?"
The second aunt shook her head vigorously, pointing to the surveillance footage and accusing the police, "It's clear in the surveillance that she stole the items while I was in the kitchen washing fruits. I don't have eyes on the back of my head, how could I have known!
"I respected her as the elder sister every time she came to the house, treating her well with good food and drinks, but she stole behind my back!
"I... I'm useless. My mother-in-law entrusted the house to me to look after, but I didn't even know when a thief entered the house. You... you can arrest me, I have no face to return to this family!"
The more the second aunt spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and finally, she managed to squeeze out a few drops of tears.
Zhang Cuilan was furious.
Everyone could see that the second aunt washing fruits was giving her an opportunity.
But in handling the case, the police focused on evidence, and no matter how much she revealed, it was useless.
Seeing the second aunt about to walk away unscathed, Zhang Cuilan couldn't care less and dropped a bombshell.
"Comrade police, I report!
"She's trying to kill someone!"
