Although the round-faced police officer and the flat-top police officer had been standing closest just now, the angle had prevented them from seeing where the captain had found the bracelet.
The man had been trying his hardest to back away, and their attention had been focused on controlling his movements.
They hadn't had the time to pay attention to what exactly the captain was doing.
So they hadn't seen where on the man the captain had found the necklace, either.
The captain glanced at Xiao Xiao again, his eyes full of admiration.
"It was inside his belt buckle."
"...Inside his belt buckle?!"
After a brief silence, everyone shouted almost in unison.
"That's right."
The captain nodded.
He pointed to the man's belt buckle.
"Right here."
The man froze.
"How... how did you find it...?"
He'd thought he'd hidden it perfectly.
He'd been certain no one would find it.
The captain looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao's lips curved slightly.
"We should probably thank that child."
That child?
The woman was the first to react. "Bao Bao?"
Was he talking about her baby?
Xiao Xiao nodded.
He meant the woman's child.
"He hit the belt buckle just now, and it came a little loose."
"Then the impact made it vibrate..."
"The bracelet inside poked halfway out."
Of course, the child hadn't actually hit it that hard.
And the bracelet hadn't just happened to peek out like that.
Fei Fei had been the unsung hero behind it all.
He'd brought about that whole chain of coincidences.
As for how Fei Fei had noticed it...?
A monster's intuition?
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Fei Fei was the one with the truly sharp eyes.
Everyone's mouths fell open.
"...Huh?"
"What a coincidence..."
