Chapter 116 Selling Qiuqiu

When Chen Ziqi and He Lewei saw Si Heng and Meng Xiaokai walk past, they quickly stepped forward as well.

Several people simultaneously presented their identification.

The diners were all stunned by what they saw.

"There are so many police officers!"

"They started catching thieves while eating? Typical Yunjing police!"

"Wow, living in a country like this makes me feel so safe."

Ah Shan also had a happy expression on her face.

She had a feeling that she would definitely find her gold bracelet.

A-Ping looked at Jiang Yuan and his group with fear and unease, inwardly cursing her bad luck.

We actually ran into a group of police officers!
Before the surveillance footage was pulled up, A-Ping quickly said, "Wait a minute, I was actually just joking with A-Shan."

After she finished speaking, she unzipped the small compartment of her bag and took out a red velvet pouch. "The gold bracelet is here. I was just joking with Shan."

Ah Shan immediately snatched the velvet bag and saw the gold bracelet inside; her heart finally settled down.

She clutched the gold bracelet tightly and looked at Jiang Yuan gratefully, "Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

Otherwise, she would have lost 60,000 yuan for nothing today.

This cost her half a year's salary; she saved up for a year to buy it.

"You're welcome." Jiang Yuan looked at Teddy Xiao Ha, a smile appearing in her eyes. "You should thank Xiao Ha; you've raised a smart dog."

Ah Shan hugged Teddy Bear and said happily, "Little Ha, thank you, you are truly my lucky star!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was on Ashan, Aping wanted to find an opportunity to sneak away.

As soon as she lifted her foot, her collar was grabbed.

"Ah Ping!" Ah Ling grabbed her collar, her voice filled with anger, "You've disappointed me so much! I never thought you were this kind of person!"

Aping quickly explained, "I was just joking with Ashan, why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Are you kidding me?" Ah Ling's face turned red with anger. "I trusted you so much just now, but I never expected that you really stole Ah Shan's gold bracelet!"

"What theft?" A-Ping said, displeased. "Why use such harsh language? I said it was just a joke! Didn't I return it to her? I was planning to remind A-Shan to check the bag after we finished eating!"

Ah Ling sneered, "If it weren't for the police, would you have returned the bracelet to Ah Ping? Did you steal the other jewelry that's missing from me too?"

She would lose one or two pieces of jewelry every now and then, but she couldn't find out where she lost them, so she could only accept her bad luck.

Looking back now, it seems like every time A-Ping went to her house, her jewelry would be lost.

"Don't make baseless accusations!" A-Ping retorted without any hesitation. "Do you have any evidence? Don't make things up if you don't have any evidence."

Ah Ling was furious. "I really made a bad choice in my friends!"

She looked at Ashan, her eyes filled with self-reproach, "I'm sorry, Ashan."

“It’s okay.” Ashan shook her head.

"Tch." A-Ping rolled her eyes, turned to leave, but was stopped again.

Meng Xiaokai said expressionlessly, "Excuse me, ma'am, you are suspected of theft and the amount involved is large. Please come with us to the police station."

A-Ping's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just joking, and I've already returned the bracelet to her! You have no reason to stop me!"

As she spoke, she reached out to push Meng Xiaokai away.

The next second, a cold, silver handcuff was fastened to her wrist.

Aping suddenly looked up.

Chen Ziqi grinned at her: "Madam, congratulations on getting a silver bracelet."

A-Ping: "..."

Ah-Shan and Ah-Ling also needed to go to the police station to give statements. Before leaving, Ah-Shan once again found Jiang Yuan to express her gratitude.

“If it weren’t for you today, I probably wouldn’t have found this gold bracelet.” She held Jiang Yuan’s hand tightly. “Could you give me your address? I want to buy you some gifts.”

"No need," Jiang Yuan said with a light laugh. "This is my job."

Seeing that she really didn't want to accept the gift, Ah Shan didn't press the matter. She bowed several times in thanks before leaving with Ah Ling.

As for A-Ping, although she voluntarily returned the stolen goods, she showed no remorse whatsoever. Even if she doesn't get a criminal sentence, she will still have to be detained and fined.

When Jiang Yuan returned home, the Brazilian tortoise asked curiously, "How did it go? Has the case of the corpse hidden in the flower bed been solved?"

"Checked it out."

Jiang Yuan sat down on the sofa and rubbed her shoulders.

Seeing this, Pipi immediately jumped onto the sofa and gently patted her shoulder with her two little paws, "Yuanyuan, let me help you."

Jiang Yuan looked at the other three furry kids lying lazily and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is this the realization of living under someone else's roof?
She reached out and hugged Pipi, patting its head. "Pipi, how can you be so sweet?"

Pipi answered obediently, "When Xingxing got tired from doing her homework, she would ask me to massage her."

"That's great." Jiang Yuan's eyes crinkled as she smiled. "Thinking about the stars?"

Pipi nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"Let me ask Xingxing if she's free to video chat right now." Jiang Yuan took out her phone and sent Xingxing a WeChat message.

A few minutes later, Xingxing sent a video call.

Jiang Yuan answered the phone, greeted Xingxing, and handed the screen to Pipi. "You two have a good chat. I'm going to take a shower."

The star on the other end of the screen quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Yuan Yuan."

"There's no need to thank me," Jiang Yuan said as she walked towards the balcony to get her clothes.

When she finished showering and went to the balcony to hang up her underwear, she found little sparrow Coco waiting for her on the railing.

"Coco, is there something you need so late?" Jiang Yuan leaned closer and asked the little one.

Coco the little sparrow cried out urgently, "Yuan Yuan, something terrible has happened! My sparrow friend has been captured by a group of humans! Can you help me save it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's expression turned serious. "Let's talk in the living room."

"Last night, Sparrow and Qiuqiu were playing by the river when suddenly a net caught them, and Qiuqiu was taken away!" Little Sparrow Coco was almost crying. "What should we do, Yuanyuan? Can you save Qiuqiu?"

"Qiuqiu?" Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully, "Is it a bird too?"

Little Sparrow Coco: "Qiuqiu is a white stork."

Jiang Yuan did a search and found that the white stork is a Class II protected animal in China.

She frowned. "Did you hear what the humans who captured Qiuqiu said?"

Little Sparrow Coco tried hard to recall: "They seemed to say they were going to sell Qiuqiu and make some money to play with some pretty big-breasted girls."

“I understand,” Jiang Yuan said. “Take me to the location where Qiuqiu was arrested tomorrow at daybreak.”

Little Sparrow Coco asked anxiously, "Can you save Qiuqiu?"

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment before replying, "I'm sorry, Coco, I can't guarantee that."

“Qiuqiu…” Little Sparrow Coco lowered her head and sobbed sadly, “You absolutely cannot be hurt.”

Jiang Yuan felt a pang of pity seeing the little guy's dejected look.

She thought of Anne the macaque who had lost her cub.

I wonder if there's been any progress in this case...
