Mrs. Tao wanted to stop them, but Tan Ron stopped her. “Mom, just let them fight. When they’re tired, the thief will show herself.”
Mrs. Tao didn’t quite understand. “Could it be that whoever loses is the thief?”
“No, but you can look forward to seeing who will be the final winner,” Tan Rou said with a smile.
Not long after, Aunt Zhou returned. She quietly walked to Tan Ron’s side and showed her the things in her hands.
“Where did you find it?” Tan Rou asked.
“In the bathroom,” Aunt Zhou said.
Tan Rou immediately knew who had stolen the jewelry. She stopped the two people who were fighting and said, “Stop arguing. I already know who the real thief is.”
Alt Ju and the other maid heard Tan Ron’s voice and immediately stopped. They pointed at each other. “Miss, she must have stolen it.”
Tan Rou didn’t directly say who the thief was. “I’ll give you one more chance. If the thief takes the initiative to admit his mistake, I can let you go this time. I won’t call the police to arrest you.”
None of the maids were willing to say that they were thieves. They clamored for Tan Rou to tell them who the real thief was.
Tan Rou shook her head lightly. “Since you’re not willing to step forward, I can only say it.” She pointed at Ah Ju.
“You stole the jewelry in the box, right?”
All Ju was very flustered. She said excitedly, “Miss, I didn’t steal anything. You know that I’ve worked for the Tao family for ten years. I’m very loyal to the Tao family. How could I steal anything?”
Tan Rou said, “I know you won’t admit it. Why don’t you listen to me? If I’m wrong, you can refute me.”
All Ju’s palms were sweaty. “Miss, I didn’t steal anything.” She kept emphasizing that she did not steal anything, as if she had really been wronged.
Tan Rou took the bracelet from Aunt Zhou and placed it in front of everyone. “Ah Ju, come over and take a look at what this is.”
All Ju was very shocked. “This… Isn’t this a bracelet?”
Tan Rou smiled. “Yes, it looks exactly like the lost bracelet. Do you want to guess where we found it?”
All Ju did not dare to look at Tan Rou again. “I don’t know. However, it’s good that we can find it. That way, we can be at ease.”
“Others can be at ease, but you can’t.” Tan Rou placed the bracelet back into Aunt Zhou’s hands.
” These items were found in the toilet and were hidden very well. Someone wrapped them in plastic bags and hid them under the mop behind the toilet door.”
A Ju said, “Really? That’s quite difficult to find.”
“Indeed. If you don’t know the people here well, how would you know that there’s a mop behind the door?” Tan Rou agreed.
“And that’s a dry mop that hasn’t been used for a long time.”
Only Ah Ju and the other maid often came to clean, so only the two of them knew that there was a dry mop behind the door.
“Miss, I didn’t go to the bathroom,” another maid said immediately. “They can testify for me.”
Tan Rou knew that she hadn’t been there. Among the people present, only Ah Ju went to the bathroom after she got off the stage.
“The thief knew the layout of the surveillance cameras here and how long it would take for the audience to get to the room, so she stole the jewelry here before the box was sent to this room. Then, she used the excuse of going to the toilet to hide the thing under the mop behind the door,” Tan Rou analyzed.
“Isn’t she afraid that someone will find out?” Mrs. Tao asked.
Tan Rou continued, “She wasn’t afraid because other than the two of them, no one else would come here to clean. Moreover, this venue has been used tonight. We will definitely have to clean it again tonight. As long as she takes the things away before the other person, no one will find out.”
Another maid said angrily, “I told you she stole it! A few days ago, I heard her say that she wanted to borrow money. Now, she’s not borrowing money anymore. Instead, she’s stealing.”
Tan Rou asked A Ju, “Did you steal the jewelry? Why did you steal?”
Alt Ju bit her lips and admitted, “Fine! I did steal the bracelet and earrings, and
I hid them under the mop.”
Mother Tao was furious. “Why did you do that?”
