The rental house was robbed. The school's dormitory was old, so some classmates who were assigned to the same dorm rented a place outside. At first, it was just small items, but later it escalated to wallets, phones, cosmetics, and other valuable things. The thief became more and more brazen.
Li Yu discovered that her newly bought perfume was missing and shouted angrily, "Which b*tch took my lipstick? I've only used it twice!" Liu Yu also mentioned that she lost a nice camisole: "It's strange that the thief would steal a camisole that costs only 9.9 for three." Liu Yu joked, "Could it be that they have a hobby?" Zhang Xin gently suggested, "Let's help each other look for it! It's possible you just misplaced it."
"Just like how I lost a compact powder a few days ago; I thought someone had stolen it. But yesterday, I found it under my bed." Following Zhang Xin's words, we began rummaging through our things. Liu Yu found her missing socks under the bed. Zhang Xin also discovered her missing agate bracelet in the wardrobe. However, Li Yu's perfume was nowhere to be found.
Li Yu was heartbroken: "This was a birthday gift from my best friend; I must find it." "Li Yu, didn't you find your other missing items before?" I casually remarked. Li Yu exploded: "Who said that? That was a new one my best friend bought for me. She used two months' worth of living expenses to get me the limited edition!"
"Newly bought?"
"Yes, I just got it last week. I hadn't even had the chance to use it before it went missing." Li Yu gritted her teeth: "It must be someone from our rental house who did this. Only you and I often lose things." I fell silent for a moment: "Actually, my cosmetics often go missing too."
Li Yu was stunned: "What happened?"
"At first, it was the compact powder, then blush, eyeshadow, and mascara; every few days, something would disappear."
"Why didn't you tell everyone?"
I forced a smile and shook my head. "Every time something goes missing, it mysteriously reappears the next day. And each time it does, there are more things that don't belong to me."
"Like last time, my powder was missing, and I found it on Liu Yu's desk. When I asked her about it, she said she borrowed it before and forgot to tell me."
"And the time before that, my mascara went missing but showed up in Zhang Xin's bag. She claimed she bought a new one, but she wouldn't splurge on that brand."
Li Yu's expression darkened. "That's really strange."
I nodded. "So I have no evidence. I can't just accuse them of stealing, can I?"
"Then let's create some evidence."
Li Yu leaned in closer and whispered something in my ear.
That evening, Li Yu was sobbing with her face buried in her hands. "My best friend wants to cut ties with me; she says I don't cherish the things he gave me."
Liu Yu and Zhang Xin rushed over to comfort her.
Zhang Xin said, "Li Yu, don't cry. We'll chip in to buy you a new one."
Li Yu sniffled and refused, "No, that's not the same. I can't let you spend money on me."
Suddenly, she stood up, choking back tears as she declared, "I've already requested to see the surveillance footage from the hallway."
When the property manager received the call about reviewing the footage, she sounded impatient.
"Viewing the hallway surveillance requires a process; it's quite complicated."
"And besides, no one else has been in your apartment; it must be your roommate who accidentally lost it and is now suspecting others."
"It could be the cleaning lady," Li Yu suggested.
