Sponsor System: Harem With Infinite Money-Chapter 138: Investigation

With that, she directed her team to put on gloves and carefully bag each phone as evidence.

Then Nancy casually said, "First, let’s establish the timeline of the theft. Everyone, since it seems others are still observing, let’s move to your security office."

"Alright," the school official agreed, leading the way with a somewhat annoyed expression.

In the security office’s meeting room, Dongle, Ryan, Yasmin, the school director, and Nancy, along with her team, gathered.

More than ten students who had lost their phones also arrived. They quickly identified their phones through the evidence bags and waited obediently.

"Send these for fingerprint analysis. A few students can come along to provide their fingerprints. We’ll check if there are any other fingerprints on your phones," Nancy instructed methodically, smirking coldly.

"With over ten phones, if they were stolen by the same person, there will definitely be overlapping fingerprints. Whoever’s prints show up will be the thief."

"Although the library’s surveillance isn’t working, other areas’ cameras are still operational."

Nancy was very efficient. She had the students write down the times their phones were stolen and, based on the timeline, said coldly, "First, check the surveillance footage of the male dormitory, including the entrance and the hallway."

"The theft happened within less than an hour. The thief must have had a key to enter the dorm, as there were no signs of forced entry."

"Whoever did it had to pass through to place the phones in that dorm."

The security guard in charge of checking the footage awkwardly said, "Officer, for some reason, the hallway surveillance on their floor wasn’t turned on."

Dongle was already sweating profusely. Nancy gave him a thoughtful look and said, "What a coincidence. The library cameras were down during the theft, and the hallway surveillance on his floor was turned off when the phones were placed."

Yasmin immediately spoke up, "Officer Nancy, my student doesn’t have that kind of authority. Besides, there’s no way there could be so many coincidences."

The school director also frowned, giving Dongle a thoughtful look.

"No matter. For the same time period, anyone who went to the third floor but not the fourth floor should be noted. Then, we’ll question those students to see if they live on the third floor."

This didn’t stump Nancy. She spoke with professional calmness, outlining her investigation plan, then smiled and said, "While we wait for the results, this student," she gestured to Ryan, "you can also prove your innocence. After all, establishing your alibi during the time of the theft is crucial."

Seeing her bright and charming smile, Ryan’s heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, This woman wouldn’t still hold a grudge and try to set me up, would she?

Damn… it was you who got drunk and came onto me. What does that have to do with me?

Though it was pretty great.

Yasmin, full of confidence, said, "Ryan, don’t worry. If you didn’t do it, no one can frame you. The teachers and school officials will stand by you."

"The theft occurred between 7:20 PM and 8:10 PM," Nancy said, carefully reviewing the records, then smirked. "Ryan, what were you doing during that time?"

Ryan casually replied, "I was having dinner and drinks. Then something happened, and I rushed back."

"Is that so? You’ll need to elaborate. I’ll verify everything," Nancy said, taking detailed notes. When she reached the final part, Ryan coldly added, "At that time, a drunk guy jumped off a building, and we all went to the South District of City Central Hospital."

"You can check the surveillance records there, as well as the police dispatch records!"

Hearing this, Nancy was momentarily stunned but quickly regained her composure. "Alright, based on this information, I’ll investigate further."

The surveillance footage revealed a crucial fact: when the security team entered the male dormitory, Ryan had just arrived at the school gate. Based on the timeline, he couldn’t have had the time to commit the theft.

Anyone with basic common sense would know it was impossible to travel from the suburbs to the school in that timeframe.

Dongle anxiously shouted, "Leader, if it’s not him, there are other people in his dorm!"

Nancy smirked. "You’re right. Don’t worry, since we’re here, we’ll investigate thoroughly and leave no stone unturned."

As she spoke, she sent someone to check on Weston and Jacob. It turned out Jacob had been delivering food the entire time, riding the electric scooter Ryan had given him.

Countless surveillance cameras and delivery records proved his innocence. Weston, on the other hand, had been playing mahjong in another dorm. The entry and exit records, along with testimonies from other students, confirmed he hadn’t left.

Weston angrily said, "You can deal with me however you want, but none of us in the dorm were even there. How the hell could we have stolen anything?"

At this point, the officer who had taken the phones for fingerprint analysis returned, looking serious. "Boss, we’ve done the comparison. There are no unfamiliar fingerprints."

"Seems like they had some counter-surveillance awareness. Probably wore gloves, huh?" Nancy frowned slightly, then asked, "Ryan, how many people have keys to your dorm?"

"Only the three of us live here," Jacob shook his head.

The school director added, "To prevent emergencies, there are two spare keys for each dorm. One is kept by the dorm supervisor, and the other is in the school security office."

Nancy immediately sent someone to check. The dorm supervisor had gone home for dinner at the time, and her door had been locked the entire time, so she hadn’t gone upstairs.

That left the other suspect. Nancy narrowed her eyes and looked at Dongle.

"Bring the spare keys from the security office."

Another security guard brought over the entire set of keys for the third floor of the dormitory, each clearly labeled with the corresponding dorm number.

Finding the key to Ryan’s dorm, Nancy coldly said, "Your security team is quite diligent. You even oil the keys regularly to prevent rust, huh?"

"And, interestingly, only this one key has been oiled!"

At this, Dongle’s face completely changed.
