"Previously, there was a report on the news stating that this wasn’t an ordinary pickpocketing incident,"
"I know that; the two of them are Tomb Raiders, allegedly carrying an artifact worth a fortune in their bag,"
"Yes, the official story about the whereabouts of this artifact is that it was placed in the evidence room,"
Tang Shu was silent for a moment, "Did the police deliberately set a trap, luring them into a pot?"
When she watched the video just now, she felt something was off. Having spent so much time in various production crews, she knew exactly where the cameras were supposed to be, yet the angles in the footage were particularly tricky.
Those who sneaked in had no idea there were cameras!
It was a hidden camera recording, Tang Shu quickly concluded.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nuan paused and looked at Tang Shu with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"To be honest, you’re really cut out for our line of work."
Your topic is going off course, you know —
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you,"
Wen Nuan didn’t continue joking about recruiting announcements and got straight to the point about why she had called her over.
"The case involving the theft of the artifact is widespread and not suitable for public disclosure, so it was transferred to me this morning. In short, through an informant, we learned that the people behind the scenes believe that the artifact has accidentally ended up in your hands,"
Tang Shu felt joke had gone too far.
She was clearly a hero who had bravely saved two lives without intending to.
One second she had a positive image, and the next she was labeled a dangerous individual?
This sudden change was entirely unexpected.
Wen Nuan sighed, "Among these five individuals in the video, one escaped during the arrest, and they didn’t find the artifact in the evidence room. While questioning the remaining four, we received information that they believe the artifact is either in the evidence room or with you. Since the one who fled knows it isn’t in the evidence room, then..."
"So, based on the earlier guess, the remaining possibility is that I have it? Do these people have a problem with their brains? Why would they think such an important item would be with me?"
Tang Shu still couldn’t fathom this bizarre line of thinking.
Wen Nuan gave a slight cough, her expression tinged with embarrassment.
"A few days ago, a newspaper released an interview video where the Tomb Raider mentioned your name on camera,"
Tang Shu was taken aback upon hearing this, and then she realized the reason.
So it was the video that caused all this trouble.
"They think the person in the video was sending them a message? They guessed the item was with me because I was the only one who had physical contact with them at the train station?"
Hearing Wen Nuan’s affirmative response, Tang Shu suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Great, this logic is just perfect.
She now just wanted to curse.
"You set a trap to catch all of them in one go, and not only did that fail, but it also misled them?"
Is this how you backstab your teammates?
Tang Shu felt like she was the "teammate" who had been tragically backstabbed.
Wen Nuan felt equally embarrassed about having such an inept teammate, "Actually, we have just taken over this case, but indeed, it was our mistake."
Although the mistake wasn’t hers, after all, she represented the same side —
Who can blame anyone for not being as smart as she is?
