“You… you guys…” Mr. Smith was speechless. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself before saying, “Listen, I don’t care what you’re up to. You have to stay here until the law enforcement officers arrive.”

“Oh,” Aurelia replied faintly, “Then what exactly did my young master do wrong?”

“Alvin stole my watch,” Mr. Smith picked up the watch. “This was found in his drawer. That’s the evidence!”

“I don’t care whether there’s evidence or not. Did you personally see my young master do something to your cheap watch?”

…

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Alvin took a few deep breaths to adjust his state of mind.

Sure enough, Aurelia was more or less mentally ill.

This had nothing to do with her.

Besides, just saying “It’s not me, it’s really not me” would not solve the problem.

The key problem now was that the watch was found in Alvin’s drawer. Until Alvin found out who the culprit was, anything he say would be useless.

While Alvin thought about this rationally, he could not help but feel touched when he saw Aurelia’s back in front of him.

Even if she was a little crazy, even if her actions were out of the ordinary…

At least at this moment, she stood up for him.

“Miss, I understand you…” Mr. Smith said halfway, but the rest of his words seemed to be stuck in his throat.

After umming and ahhing for a long time, Mr. Smith said, “Forget it. To be honest, I still can’t understand what you’re doing with your cosplay. We are in the midst of a serious discussion right now.”

“If you don’t have any evidence to prove that your young mast-… ahem, if you can’t prove that Alvin is innocent, please don’t get in the way, okay?”

“Heh.”

Aurelia suddenly laughed and tilted her head. “If I’m not wrong, you bought a deck of tarot cards for divination, right?”

Mr. Smith frowned, “How did you know?”

“That’s not the only thing I know, I also know that your question for divination was ‘Where is the watch’ and not ‘Who stole the watch’!”

“Newbies at divination shouldn’t do these by themselves! Causing a misunderstanding like this, that’s not good!”

Saying that, Aurelia walked quickly to a corner, and everyone stared at her back.

As she walked, she suddenly jumped.

She raised her hand and touched the ceiling.

The ceiling was at least four meters high. Since it was an old-fashioned office space, the ceiling was designed to be taller. The design took into account that some bosses would not install air conditioners, but would use electric fans instead.

However, she easily touched the ceiling. With a sweep of her arm, she brought something down.

This move caused many people to click their tongues.

This was because anyone who had played basketball before knew that touching a 3.05-meter-tall backboard was the upper limit of a normal person.

Moreover, if one was not naturally tall enough, they would not be able to touch it even if they jumped with all their might.

This woman was only 1.6 meters tall, but she managed to touch a 4-meter-tall ceiling?

And she managed to bring something down?

Aurelia’s hand slowly opened, revealing a small black gadget.

“I’ve forgotten the name of the smallest camera that current technology can make, but the price is high enough to buy the land you’re standing on.”

As she spoke, Aurelia threw the camera to Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith fiddled with it for a while and suddenly thought of a critical question. “Why did you install the camera in my office?”

“It’s all because the young master is here,” Aurelia replied while she held Alvin’s arm.
