Chapter 789 The Bullet Screen Deception 11
"Ms. Qiao, after our investigation, we found a hidden pinhole camera in your room. In addition, the lock on your door has also been tampered with; there is a miniature recorder inside. Listen to the knocking sound last night; is it this one?"

After saying that, the man took out a small, black object and fiddled with it. Soon, a knocking sound was heard, just like the knocking sound from last night.

Azhen nodded: "That is indeed the voice. So, someone is up to something."

"Call the police."

I wonder if the police can find evidence to prove that Shao Baocheng was behind all of this. The comments say he's behind it all, and that the plot has changed, but this part shouldn't be different, right?

“We should definitely call the police,” Shen Muyang stood up, took out his phone and dialed the police number. “This is no small matter; we need to arrest the people who are messing around with these things.”

"Inspect the entire villa thoroughly to see if there are any other oversights," Shen Muyang said again.

"We don't know who did it."

Compared to Shen Muyang's anger, Azhen appeared much calmer.

The two sat on the sofa, waiting for the police to arrive.

“Little Zhen, if you’re scared, you can stay at my house for a while. Anyway, that room is the one Mom left for you. I’ve been thinking about you for so long.” Shen Muyang sat down next to Zhen and said with a grin, “I’ll try to get up earlier so we can go to school together.”

"And all those maids and servants in your household need to be thoroughly investigated. If you really can't find anything out, you might as well replace them with a different group."

Azhen said, "These people have been working at home for a long time. If they really haven't done those things, it's not good to fire them for no reason."

[Didn't the comments say the butler was behind it? Just be wary of the butler.]

Are there any other issues? We really don't know yet. Many of them are long-time employees of the Qiao family and have worked very diligently. Is it a bit excessive to dismiss them because of this?

Hearing her thoughts, Shen Muyang smiled. Little Zhen was truly too kind.

She was the employer. Because of her own safety concerns, she didn't want to use these people anymore. Isn't it normal for her to give them compensation and dismiss them?
"So, are you going to stay at my house after that?"

A-Zhen shook her head: "No, thank you."

Although some of the things mentioned in the comments have come true, I can't believe everything they say. People's hearts aren't always the same. There's no need to move into the Shen family's house just because of these things; going there occasionally is fine.

Shen Muyang paused for a moment, then realized that there was nothing wrong with this idea.

Soon after, the police arrived and investigated the scene, bringing in the housekeeper, gardener, and other residents for questioning.

After a thorough search, they found no one who had installed hidden cameras or tampered with the electronic locks, but they did find two thieves. The investigators, being experienced, noticed something amiss with a maid and a gardener. Under questioning, the two confessed to stealing from the villa and already selling some items. They still had some stolen goods in their room, which they hadn't had time to sell.

So, both of them were arrested. The amount involved was substantial, and jail time was inevitable. They kept pleading with Azhen for leniency, hoping she would let them off easily if she didn't hold it against them.

Of course, Azhen had no intention of letting them go. These two had stolen a lot of things from the house, and they had even gone further in their crimes.

Seeing that there was no other way, one of the gardeners suddenly shouted, "If we report other people, can we get a reduced sentence?"

The officer nodded, his sharp gaze fixed on the gardener before sweeping over the others.

When the police officer saw Azhen, a hint of sympathy flashed in his eyes. They certainly knew something about the Qiao family's affairs; they had even investigated the situation after Qiao Haisheng and his wife's accidental deaths. Now that Old Master Qiao had also passed away, leaving only a young girl with a huge amount of assets, it wasn't surprising that all sorts of strange and shady characters would appear around her.

"I'm reporting the butler!" the gardener raised his voice. "The hidden camera in Miss's room and the recorder on the electronic lock must have been the butler's doing. I bet he's trying to scare Miss so that Shao Yifan will come to her rescue!"

It has to be said that the gardener's guess was exactly the same as the hints in the comments.

Azhen glanced at the gardener: "What evidence do you have? The butler has worked for the Qiao family for many years and his annual salary is not low. Why would he do such a thing? Besides, whether the so-called hero saves the beauty will succeed in the end is not up to them, but up to me."

“It’s not like we’ll lose anything by taking a gamble.” The gardener said with a somewhat crazy expression, “What if? Who doesn’t want more money? Do you think the butler is a good person? Miss, you’re only 16 years old. If it weren’t for the old man’s proper arrangements, no one would dare to touch you. You might be overgrown with weeds by now.”

"Stop rambling and tell me honestly how you knew the housekeeper was the one who installed the hidden camera. What evidence do you have?" the officer asked sternly.

At the same time, the gardener's appearance made them feel that there was probably a lot going on inside. His crazy appearance reminded them of a certain type of person—a gambler.

Is this guy a gambler?
The gardener shrank back, only thinking about getting a reduced sentence through meritorious service. Suddenly, his eyes darted around, and he looked at Azhen: "If Miss doesn't pursue my matter any further, I'll say how can I be sure it was the steward who did those things."

Azhen looked at him calmly: "If you don't want to spend another two years in jail, then you'd better confess honestly. You mentioned the butler, so as part of the risk assessment, we'll investigate the butler's affairs carefully. The police officers aren't pushovers; they'll definitely find some clues, and then you won't have a chance for a reduced sentence."

The officers were so angry they laughed; this guy actually dared to have such thoughts.

The gardener's face paled, realizing he had been delusional. He could only confess honestly: "About two weeks ago, shortly after Miss went to school, there was a short circuit in the villa's wiring, causing a power outage. The housekeeper gave us the day off and even gave us shopping cards. But I didn't go. As a gardener, the plants don't need pruning every day; often, watering is enough. So I'm usually quite free, and occasionally I even spend the night outside. The night before, I happened to have spent the whole night out and needed to catch up on sleep in the house. I didn't go out shopping like the others."

"And then?" A-Zhou asked.

The client had no recollection of this incident. After all, by the time she got home from school, the short circuit problem had already been resolved, and the maids certainly wouldn't have told her about it.

The gardener continued, "I woke up because I was hungry and was about to get up to find something to eat when I heard some noise coming from this villa. I was planning to check it out when the housekeeper and electrician came downstairs. Although I didn't see what they did, they would definitely have to go upstairs to install those things, so they are highly suspicious."
