Chapter 164

Mall security arrived at the scene quickly, and the store manager also called the police immediately.

As an internationally renowned brand, they certainly had to react immediately to such matters to maintain the rights and personal safety of their customers. If handled improperly, it would be very easy for the brand to fall into public opinion.

The man still wanted to pester them, but the tall and sturdy sales associate blocked the front, protecting Shen Ci and Shen Yuzhen behind him.

"I deleted the video and apologized to you, isn't that enough? I really was just filming casually; they were all just backs anyway."

Even at this point, the other party still said he was just filming casually. Shen Ci looked at him and said: "Whether it was filming casually or not, you can explain it to the police when they arrive."

Before long, the police from the nearby duty station received the dispatch task and arrived at the scene.

When the man saw the police coming, he actually rushed forward to accuse them first: "Comrades police, they are robbing me of my phone."

Shen Yuzhen glared at him upon hearing this and scolded: "You stinking scumbag, how dare you quibble in front of the police?"

"Who called the police? What's going on?" The police officer scanned the store and asked.

At this time, the store manager stood out to indicate that the store had called the police and explained the general process of the matter clearly.

"Let me see the phone."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci handed the phone she was holding to the police: "He even wanted to secretly delete the video, but he didn't have time to delete it from 'Recently Deleted,' and I found it."

"Comrades police, I really was just filming casually. I saw her looking in the mirror, so I filmed for a while longer." The man continued to chatter on about his innocence.

The police officer ignored him, opened the album, and quickly found the secretly filmed video in "Recently Deleted."

There were two videos in total. The first video was of Shen Ci sitting on the sofa picking out items for a long time before getting up and entering the fitting room.

The second video was of Shen Ci changing into new clothes and looking in the mirror.

The two videos together lasted about five minutes.

The core content of the video was indeed "Shen Ci," and this evidence could also be used to characterize the other party's behavior as secret filming.

But it was difficult to define the severity of the content filmed in the video. Generally, in such situations, the police's way of handling it was to delete the video and apologize. If the impact caused was severe, a fine would also be pursued.

If one wanted to seek more serious punishment, it was basically impossible.

The police officer called Shen Ci and Shen Yuzhen to the side and sighed softly: "First of all, I really appreciate your bravery in having the courage to stand up and stop such behavior."

"But this is a public place. Even if the other party's camera was very targeted, as long as he doesn't admit it, it's very difficult to have an indisputable result. Do you understand what I mean?"

Shen Ci frowned and asked: "So he's just being a rascal?"

Although the police officer was very helpless, he nodded: "If he had filmed under a skirt or secretly filmed in a private space, such as a restroom for the opposite sex, then he certainly wouldn't be allowed to quibble. But filming your back in this store is really hard to handle. So, it can only be deleting the video and apologizing to you."

"Tsk." Shen Yuzhen couldn't help but sneer: "Who cares about an apology from this kind of person."

The man watched the police and them talking from afar, and clearly felt that the two girls' faces were not good, so he knew he would definitely be fine.

So what if he filmed videos in public? What could they do to him if he just didn't admit it?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a smug expression of a villain who had gotten his way. Wearing such a short skirt, wasn't it just for him to look at?

Stop pretending!

If he had known, he would have synced the video to the cloud immediately. That way, even if it was deleted, he could retrieve it and enjoy it slowly in the future.

"Comrades police, we suspect he is a repeat offender. There must be other videos in his hidden album. Make him unlock it. If there aren't any, then I won't pursue it, and I don't need an apology."

Shen Ci suddenly made another request. She didn't retreat but advanced, firmly believing that there must be secrets in the other party's "Hidden Album."

It was an innate sensitivity that a girl had toward a lecherous man.

Shen Yuzhen also nodded repeatedly: "There definitely is!"

Upon hearing this, the police officer nodded, turned around, walked to the man again, and handed the phone to him.

Seeing this, the man couldn't help but snort and look at Shen Ci with a provocative expression: "How about that? I told you I was just filming casually. You had to trouble the police comrades, and now you've been educated, right?"

After finishing, he reached out to take the phone and looked up at the police: "Comrade, can I go now?"

The police officer watched him finish showing off with an expressionless face before saying: "Open the hidden album."

"W-what?"

The man was startled, and the panic on his face could no longer be concealed: "H-hidden album? I don't have that thing."

"All Apple phones have it. Looking at your guilty conscience, there must be something fishy inside," Shen Yuzhen said.

Seeing this, the police officer saw the trickiness even more. The man's reaction clearly indicated there was a situation.

"Unlock it!"

A sharp shout made the man's small body tremble. But facing two police officers and several mall security personnel, the man had to obediently open the hidden album.

It would have been better if they hadn't looked. With just one glance, the eyes of the investigating police officer turned cold.

There were all kinds of secretly filmed videos, different locations, angles, and scales—everything was there, and there were even massive amounts of adult films.

Which of these were filmed by him personally required further investigation by the police, but this man definitely couldn't leave today.

"You have to come with us!" The police officer looked at the man and said with a stern face.

"No, these are all saved from the internet; it has nothing to do with me."

"Whether it has anything to do with you, we will investigate clearly ourselves. You just need to cooperate with us. Take him away!"

Seeing this, Shen Ci and Shen Yuzhen couldn't help but look at each other. Both raised their eyebrows slightly, clearly not surprised by this result.

"I don't need to go with you, right?" Shen Ci looked at the police officer and asked.

He had just said that her matter couldn't be characterized, so the dirty things in the other party's hidden album later had nothing to do with her.

She didn't want to waste her time on such a disgusting person.

The police officer nodded: "No need, but thank you for your reminder. We will definitely investigate thoroughly later. Once the criminal facts are clear, he will not be able to escape the sanctions of the law."

Shen Yuzhen seemed to have remembered something and spoke up to remind them again: "Don't forget to check his cloud space; there must be something in there."

The police officer finally smiled. Sure enough, they were young people who were very clear about this "modern technology."

After the police took the person away from the store, the scene quickly returned to normal.

The store manager stepped forward to apologize with deep regret: "Miss Shen, I am truly sorry. Such a thing happening in our store has brought you a very bad shopping experience."

Shen Ci shook her head with a light smile: "It has nothing to do with you; you handled it very well."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yuzhen again and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, beauty. It's all thanks to your reminder, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed."
