Chapter 192
It was in the commercial zone of Binhai, surrounded by skyscrapers and high-end offices . The companies in those buildings are some quite successful local companies or branch offices from national enterprises .
The case happened not long ago… that was not accurate . It should be said that the first official report was set up in the police station not long ago . No one except for the offender knew when the first case was .
One day, the police received a case reporting a stolen watch . Honestly, it was quite normal that petty thieves stole something here and there . The policemen kept a record most of the time, but they wouldn’t really spend time searching for the loss because most of the stuff could not be found . If they caught a big group of thieves, then they might be able to get back some stuff . Only when the lost item was extremely valuable would the police take the case seriously .
The value of the lost item wasn’t extremely high . It was an imported luxury watch . Local policemen went to file a case . Captain Sheng knew nothing about it .
The location of the case was Yuanhua Building – an office building at the edge of the commercial zone . The policemen went and took statements .
The person who reported the case was a 37-year old man called Liu Miao . He was a mid-level manager in a local company . His annual income was about 200,000 Yuan . He filed a case with the police that an imported diamond accent TAG Heuer female watch was missing in the company and he suspected one of his co-workers stole it .
His friend bought this brand-new watch from overseas for him . The watch cost about 30,000 Yuan, which was shown on the receipt . Because his friend bought it from overseas, his friend had to wear it to enter customs . This way, they could avoid paying the duties . The police found out afterwards that a luxurious item like that should be taxed at 60% . Therefore, that watch was in fact sold in China for more than 50,000 Yuan .
His friend brought the watch to the company and told him he would mail the box over in a few days . He was a trustworthy friend . Also, before Liu Miao bought this watch, he did extensive research on how to identify a counterfeit watch so he was comfortable about receiving the watch without a receipt and box . After receiving the watch, Liu Miao was thrilled . He was going to hide it and surprise his wife when the box arrived .
After his friend left, a few co-workers heard that he bought an expensive watch and all came over to congratulate him and have a look . The girls were jealous of his wife for having such a generous and caring husband . Because there wasn’t a box, he left it on his desk for his co-workers to look at .
His co-workers were clever . They looked at it and then put it down immediately . No one dared to try it on . Liu Miao was watching the whole time . He trusted his co-workers and wasn’t worried about losing the watch . All he worried about was someone dropping the watch, so he was prepared to save it if that happened .
After looking at the watch, his co-workers all promised they wouldn’t tell his wife about it . Then they all went back to work .
Up until then, the watch was still laying on his desk, safe and sound .
