Chapter 2195: Chapter 2197: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi

Going to the police station was much smoother. After Officer Mahali received the surveillance footage they provided, he immediately checked the relevant case files. Indeed, they found a suspect that matched the criteria.

The old white woman lived in Mahali’s infamous red-light district, which was also a slum area. The low-rise houses were haphazardly built together, leaving only narrow passageways. The ground was littered with dirty water, and rats scurried through piles of garbage, not fearing the passersby at all.

Jiang Nuan followed the police to the house where the old woman lived and knocked on the door.

"Open the door."

"Who is it?"

The sound of footsteps creaked from inside, and the old, poorly maintained door panel trembled under the police’s knocking as if it might fall at any moment.

"Collecting rent."

The person inside cursed and opened the door, "I just paid the rent a couple of days ago. What’s wrong with you? Asking me for..."

She saw Jiang Nuan and Fu Yi outside the door, along with several police officers, and immediately showed a frightened expression, "Who are you looking for?"

"What do you think?" The police officer impatiently flashed his badge and put it away quickly, saying to the pale-faced woman, "Hand over the luggage."

"I, I don’t know, you say luggage, what luggage?" The old woman tried to make a final resistance.

Jiang Nuan exposed her, "My friend’s luggage. You stole it at the airport the day before yesterday. Don’t say you forgot in just two days. It doesn’t matter if you forgot; we have airport surveillance footage clearly showing you taking it during the chaos."

With both witness and physical evidence, and the police knocking at her door.

Now the old woman deflated, telling the police to wait a moment while she dragged out a small black suitcase from the room and gave it back to Jiang Nuan.

Pleading and arguing, she said, "I didn’t know this luggage belonged to your friend. I saw it go around the carousel for a long time with no one taking it, so I thought it was unwanted and took it home. You should see on the surveillance that this luggage was left on the carousel. I really didn’t mean to steal anything. I’ve returned the things to you; please don’t give me any trouble."

Jiang Nuan didn’t waste words with her, opened the suitcase on the spot, and found the combination lock brutally broken, with nothing inside.

She took a deep breath, spread the empty suitcase open in front of the old woman, her pretty face slightly stern, "Where are the things inside?"

She guessed the other party wouldn’t leave the items untouched for two days and would definitely have taken the money from the suitcase to use, but she didn’t expect that the other would have the audacity to return it with nothing inside.

The old woman’s expression was unnatural, still trying to deny, "What things? I’ve already returned the suitcase to you. We agreed that once I return the suitcase, you won’t give me any trouble. Hurry up and leave. Stop standing at my doorstep."

As she spoke, she tried to retreat into the house, grabbing the door with one hand, intending to close it.

Nobody expected Jiang Nuan to step forward swiftly, in a few quick strides, raising her leg to kick the door hard. The door slipped from the old woman’s grasp as Jiang Nuan reached out with one hand to hold the door and grabbed her by the collar with the other, dragging her out of the house and in front of the suitcase, pointing at the empty suitcase with a fierce look, "Where do you think you’re going? I’m asking you where the items in the suitcase are."

"I, I don’t know."

"Stop playing dumb." Jiang Nuan kicked her ankle, making her cry out in pain.
