"Um, beautiful policewoman, although there are no surveillance cameras, there are eyewitnesses."

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Su Muchen knew it was time to make his move.

"You said there are eyewitnesses, who are they?"

Upon hearing Su Muchen's words, policewoman Xu Lu reacted as if she had grasped a lifeline, becoming instantly excited.

It's no wonder Xu Lu was agitated. There was no surveillance footage or eyewitnesses, so whatever the stall owner said was the truth. Even if she was a police officer, she couldn't stand up for Ying Er, which made her feel very depressed.

Hearing that there were eyewitnesses at the scene, how could Xu Lu not be excited?

"Of course, I'm the eyewitness!"

Su Muchen pointed to his own nose and said.

"It was you? You mean you witnessed everything?"

Policewoman Xu Lu was skeptical; she was somewhat prejudiced and didn't quite believe Su Muchen's words.

"Officer, he's talking nonsense. How could he have witnessed the whole thing? He didn't even know where he was at the time. His words are not credible."

Upon hearing that someone had witnessed the whole thing, the stall owner immediately panicked and began to defend himself. He was confident that his actions were very discreet and that no one could have seen them, let alone this kid who had interfered.

"Xiao Zhou, shut him up. Don't let him disturb our investigation of the case."

"Yes……"

The stall owner was stopped by the male police officer, whose stern gaze made him dare not interrupt again.

"Sir, please tell me the whole story, what exactly happened, and who is telling the truth."

Everyone at the scene fell silent, eager to hear what the eyewitness had seen—whether the stall owner was lying or Ying'er was concealing the truth.

The most nervous person was Ying'er. She never expected that the kind older brother who helped her had witnessed the whole thing, which would clear her name.

"I'm the kind of person who pays special attention to beautiful things. When I saw how beautiful Ying'er was, I couldn't help but take a second look..."

Su Muchen's opening remarks left everyone speechless. "We asked you to explain what happened, where did you get that idea?"

Ying'er blushed deeply at Su Muchen's words, though she was secretly delighted. After all, Su Muchen was handsome and had stood up for her, making him the most likable man.

"Sir, please be serious. We need you to explain the process of the case, not ramble on."

Policewoman Xu Lu was also disgusted by Su Muchen's words. The label of Su Muchen as a lecherous playboy was completely imprinted in her mind.

"Don't rush me. This is just to explain why I witnessed this process. Otherwise, how can you be convinced? Getting back to the point, I saw that Ying'er was so beautiful... Ugh... I've already said that."

Everyone was speechless again by Su Muchen. Everyone was listening intently to his explanation, but he just kept laughing it off.

"Big brother, stop fooling around! Quickly prove Ying'er's innocence!"

Even Ying'er couldn't stand it anymore and gave Su Muchen a disapproving look.

"Alright, alright. I saw Miss Ying'er picking and choosing at this stall, and the owner turned around and took out this porcelain bottle from the storage box, wanting to hand it to Miss Ying'er to take a look. But Miss Ying'er thought it was too precious and didn't take it to look at. I didn't expect the owner to force it into Miss Ying'er's hands."

"As Miss Ying'er said, she only glanced at it twice before handing it back to the boss. In just a second or two, how could she have made a scratch? But when the boss took the porcelain bottle, he immediately noticed the scratch and insisted on compensation from Miss Ying'er. That's how it happened."

After Su Muchen finished speaking, he shrugged. Whether everyone believed what he said or not was none of his business.

Did Su Muchen really witness the whole thing? Bullshit! If it weren't for the noise from the stall owner and Ying'er that attracted his attention, he wouldn't have noticed what was going on. He just made it up based on what Ying'er said, but the truth is pretty much the same.

"Bullshit! I've kept this antique on my stall the whole time. When did I ever take it out of the storage box? You're slandering me! Everyone, look, he's slandering me!"

After listening to Su Muchen's explanation, the stall owner couldn't help but jump out. Although what Su Muchen said was close to the truth, based on this point alone, the stall owner was certain that Su Muchen had not witnessed the process.

Not to mention the stall owner, even Miss Ying'er knew that Su Muchen had not witnessed the whole process. Just as the stall owner said, the antique porcelain bottle had been placed on the stall the whole time, and the stall owner had not taken anything from the storage box behind him.

When Su Muchen saw Ying'er looking at him with a questioning gaze, he naturally knew what she was thinking. He quickly gave her a wink, signaling her not to interrupt.

"Oh, you're saying I'm slandering you? Fine, then let me ask you, do you have a few other antiques similar to this in your storage box?"

"How...how did you know?"

Su Muchen's words startled the stall owner. He had never let anyone see the contents of the storage box, and he was confident that no one knew about it. But how did Su Muchen know?

"I already said I saw you take the porcelain bottle out of the storage box, and I also saw what was inside the storage box. What, judging from the boss's expression, it's as if what's in the storage box is something extraordinary."

Su Muchen sneered inwardly. He was doing it on purpose, deliberately leading the policewoman to notice the storage box step by step, since there were still many things inside that the stall owners used to swindle people.

"No, those are things that are not presentable, so I didn't display them."

As the stall owner spoke, he moved toward the storage box.

"Xiao Zhou, stop him!"

The stall owner's actions could not escape the eyes of the crowd. Policewoman Xu Lu immediately ordered the officers to stop the stall owner, then walked to the storage box and opened it amidst the stall owner's terrified gaze.

"No...don't touch my things..."

The stall owner screamed in terror, trying to stop them, but the police officers held him back. He could only watch helplessly as policewoman Xu Lu took a porcelain bottle from the storage box.

"Hmm! This porcelain vase also has scratches..."

Policewoman Xu Lu's words made the stall owner unable to hold back any longer. He turned his head and looked around, trying to find an escape route.

However, he was surrounded by onlookers, and the three police officers stood in a triangular formation, completely blocking his escape route.

"Xiao Zhou, you guys take him under control right now..."

After examining the bottles and jars in the storage box, policewoman Xu Lu immediately gave orders to her officers.

The stall owner was already completely despondent and had no intention of resisting. The police officers easily pinned him to the ground.

"So, it was all your doing, deliberately using a scratched antique to scam someone. Very well, very well indeed!"

Policewoman Xu Lu realized that this was all a scheme set up by the stall owner, and her anger flared up immediately.

"Um, beautiful policewoman, you might be wrong about something. These are probably not genuine antiques. I suspect they are fakes. The boss is using fakes to impersonate antiques, specifically to set people up."

Su Muchen added fuel to the fire, further enraging policewoman Xu Lu.

"Xiao Zhou, take this swindler back to the city police criminal investigation team. I want to interrogate him personally. Also, take these things back with you; they are evidence of his fraud."

The stall owner was completely finished. The city's criminal investigation team leader was called in to interrogate him. They wouldn't allow him to vomit up everything he had eaten before, even if he had completely emptied his bowels.
