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 .

As the mid-level manager of the company, Liu Miao didn’t have an office of his own, but he did have a separate large desk . It was on the edge of the public area close to the wall . His team sometimes came over to report to him or had him review something . He was a busy man .
Some co-workers from other departments heard about the luxurious watch and came over to look at it . Liu Miao felt it was too troublesome to keep pulling the watch out from the drawer, so he kept it on the desk . In fact, he was also trying to show off the watch .
Liu Miao’s department was quite stable; thus, the turnover rate was low . There hadn’t been any new employees lately nor did he hear about anyone trying to change departments . He had worked in the company for years . Sometimes, people were frightened that they lost their phone or wallet . Soon they would find that they were careless and found the item quickly . There had never been anything officially stolen in the office . People who worked there had a great job and they didn’t have to risk their reputation for a few thousand Yuan .
When it was almost noon, an acquaintance sent Liu Miao a message saying that he wanted to buy a similar watch so he wanted to come look at it . If he liked it, he also would like Liu Miao’s friend help him get a piece from overseas and he was willing to pay him some commission .


Liu Miao understood . In fact, before he got the watch, he was worried that it would be taxed at customs . Now that his friend really showed himself to be reliable, Liu was extremely happy about the purchase . It was normal that other people wanted to do the same because of the savings . Liu Miao was a great friend of that guy, so he only needed to take him out as a thank-you . Other people wanting the same service would have to pay his friend commission .
He replied, "Okay . You may come over . "
The co-worker replied, "Coming . "
Liu Miao needed to use the bathroom . He hesitated for half a second whether he should put the watch in his drawer . He then thought it was unnecessary because the bathroom was very close to his desk and it should only take him a few minutes to get back . Thinking that his co-worker was on his way down, it was too much trouble putting the watch back . He trusted his co-workers wouldn’t do anything to it . Also, his desk was separated . If someone wanted to come over and steal the watch, someone would see it .
He rushed to the bathroom, leaving the watch out .
From the surveillance camera, the total time from him leaving the desk to returning was only three or four minutes . However, something happened during that time .
When Liu Miao returned, his acquaintance was waiting by his desk .
The acquaintance’s name was Shaoyu . He joined the company at almost the same time as Liu Miao . Both shared the same hobbies – watching soccer and drinking beer . They spent a lot of time together at bars during the last World Cup . Shaoyu wasn’t married yet so he enjoyed more freedom than Liu Miao .
Seeing him return, Shaoyu said immediately, "Everyone is talking about your fancy watch . Let me take a look…"
Liu Miao laughed and pointed at the desk, "It is on the desk…"
The watch was missing .
