Bringing space to the countryside, others eat bran while I eat meat

"...but the pattern on it is a little different. I accidentally broke it, and my sister has already sent it to be repaired..."

The police officer who came to investigate immediately frowned and asked, "It was sent for repair. Which shop did you go to for repair?"

Mao Zhiwei frowned, looking a little confused. "How should I know? It could be in the east or west of the city. You know, I am a grown man and I don't usually pay attention to these jewelry stores..."

The police officer's face darkened and he warned, "Be serious, please cooperate with the police in handling the case and think carefully about Mao Lin's daily habits. Which store would she go to?"

Mao Zhiwei raised his eyebrows slightly, not afraid at all, "Oh, I said I don't know, I don't know!

How do you want me to answer? Or should I wait until my sister comes back and ask her clearly before telling you?"

After saying this, he slammed the door shut, mumbling something dirty, which could be clearly heard by the two police officers through the door.

"You two little bastards, you dare to talk to me like this, I'm Gu Jichuanqun's brother-in-law, why don't you go out and ask around!"

The two were so angry that one of them even wanted to knock on the door to argue, but was stopped by the other. "We don't have any evidence, so let's report the situation first and send someone to check the nearby gold shops as soon as possible..."

......

Mao Lin tightly grasped the Eight Treasures Ruyi Compass in her hand and quickly shuttled through the crowd. As long as she destroyed it in time and there was no physical evidence, no one could do anything to her...

The owner of the jewelry store was about to close the door with her, but Wang Aihua held the door and said, "Boss, wait, I have something here. Can you help me melt it and change the design?"

The young boss frowned and said, "It's closed today. I have to go home to eat. Please come back tomorrow..."

"No, this is a gift for my brother and sister-in-law. If it's really important, I can pay three times the labor cost." Wang Aihua looked anxious and pleaded again, "Please."

The young boss was secretly delighted. Triple the wages was not a small sum. He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Okay, come in. If it weren't for your urgent need, I wouldn't help you even if you paid me several times more..."

Wang Aihua's face lit up with joy, and he immediately followed the boss into the store.

With a crisp "ding" sound, the compass was thrown into the vessel used to heat and melt gold ornaments. Wang Aihua ordered impatiently, "Melt it..."

With a "swoosh" sound, hot flames shot out, and the bright firelight reflected Wang Aihua's smug smile.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind. Mao Lin's face changed suddenly and he clenched his arms tightly at both sides of his body.

Before he could turn around, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side, "Stop!"

Another loud shout frightened the shop owner so much that his hands trembled and the flames deviated, almost burning the workbench. He looked up in surprise and cursed, "You scared me to death, who are you?"

The flame on his hand quickly went out, and the gold jewelry that had been burning red lost its heat source and quickly returned to its original color.

Gu Changgeng stared at the Eight Treasures Ruyi Compass in the vessel and said in a deep voice, "Mao Lin, it really is you."

Mao Lin's face was frozen. "Chang Geng, what are you talking about? I don't understand you. By the way, why are you here? Are you buying something for your girlfriend..."

Gu Changgeng's sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people, "Don't pretend, Mao Lin, you did all this..."

Mao Lin's scalp tingled and her face turned pale when he looked at her like that. Fortunately, at this moment, steady footsteps were heard from behind her, followed by Gu Jichuan's voice, "Chang Geng, what are you doing here?"

Mao Lin seemed to have found her backbone in an instant. She rushed to Gu Jichuan and grabbed his arm. Her tone was full of bitterness. "Jichuan, you are finally here. I don't know what's wrong with Chang Geng. He said some inexplicable things as soon as he came!"

Gu Jichuan protected Mao Lin behind him, staring at the angry Gu Changgeng, and said with a tone of deep displeasure, "If you want to trouble your aunt about the matter of the jade compass, there is no need.

I chose the item and delivered it myself. I feel sorry for what happened. It was my momentary negligence that almost caused a big mistake, but Mao Lin has nothing to do with it. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"

Mao Lin's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. She glanced at Gu Changgeng provocatively and then said, "It's a good thing you came to pick me up, otherwise I really can't explain it! I was almost arrested as a criminal for no reason..."

Gu Changgeng sneered and questioned Mao Lin, "On September 9, you clearly returned to Master Cai's workshop, met with him privately, and customized an Eight Treasures Ruyi Compass that was exactly the same as the one you gave to Shen Ning.

But why did you deliberately avoid this matter when being questioned by the police? You denied that you had met in private! "

Mao Lin's lips curled up slightly, without any embarrassment of being caught. Instead, it was as if she was looking at a child who was making trouble for no reason.

"Chang Geng, I don't understand what you said. I just saw that Master Jiang's craftsmanship is good, and I also want to buy one for my future sister-in-law as a gift. Is this illegal?"

Gu Changgeng sneered, "Don't confuse the concepts. When the public security comrades were investigating, you deliberately concealed it.

Gu Jichuan clearly customized three different patterns of the Eight Treasures Jade Compass, but why did you secretly order another one behind Gu Jichuan's back, and it is exactly the same as the one you gave to Shen Ning? If you have nothing to hide, why are you in such a hurry to destroy it......"

"What do you mean exactly the same?" Mao Lin looked puzzled. "Chang Geng, did you misunderstand something? That's not the case at all. The pattern I customized is completely different from the one Ji Chuan gave to Shen Ning..."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to turn over the Eight Treasures Jade Compass in the vessel, clearly displaying the front of the compass to everyone, her tone full of regret.

"It's a pity that my brother accidentally broke it. It's hard to identify it now. I am so wronged..."

Gu Changgeng then noticed that the front of the Eight Treasures Jade Compass had been dented by a heavy object and was badly damaged. The patterns on it were also damaged, and it was completely unrecognizable from its previous appearance...

A surge of anger suddenly arose in my heart. I was still a step too slow. I didn't expect that Mao Lin was so cautious. Before coming to the gold shop, he had deliberately damaged the compass and called Gu Jichuan. I was afraid that all this was part of his plan!
