Chapter 144 The VIP in the Jewelry Store

One day, a well-dressed couple came to a well-known jewelry store. The husband was wearing a famous brand suit, and the wife was wearing the most popular dress, holding a stainless steel vacuum flask.They told the clerk that they wanted to pick out a wedding souvenir.After listening to the clerk's introduction, the couple carefully selected the jewelry and diamonds they were satisfied with, and then took out their VIP cards and asked to try them in the try-on room.

The couple spent an entire afternoon trying on pieces in the fitting room and almost half of the jewelry in the store before deciding on a brooch and a necklace.When the husband and wife went to the cash register to pay, the cashier saw that his wife was holding a stainless steel thermos cup.After seeing this situation, the husband explained: "My wife has mild asthma and has to take medicine every half an hour, so I carry a cup with me." He took out the medicine he had brought, opened the cup and gave it to the clerk Look, the cup is full of coffee.

The wife took a sip of coffee at this time, and the clerk no longer doubted the situation and settled the bill for them.When the husband and wife had left and walked away, the cashier suddenly said that the husband and wife were thieves.The clerk checked the jewelry that the couple had tried on, and it turned out that several pieces of jewelry had been replaced by the couple with fakes.Excuse me, how did the cashier find out that the couple were thieves?How did they get the jewelry away?

[Answer] Put it in a coffee cup.The husband said that his wife was sick and had to take medicine every half an hour. To prove it, the two of them also "acted out" the process of taking medicine in front of the clerk.However, the two of them had been in the store all afternoon.If you need to take medicine once in half an hour, you have taken medicine at least five or six times, but the coffee cup is still full, which means there must be something hidden in it.
