The case of_____________________________
It was a cold winter morning. Mr Kunkel, the director of the museum, opened the door and saw that the most expensive museum, a red ruby, was gone. He called the detective agency.
“this is Mr Kunkel. I’d like to report robbery in the museum. Could you please send someone?”
“Detective Jones is on his way.”
Mr Kunkel was waiting for the detective when he came into the hall.
“Hey there!”said detective Jones. What’s the robbery you would like to report?”
Mr Kunkel answered, “An expensive ruby has been stolen.”
Detective Jones and Mr Kunkel walked into Mr. Kunkel’s office. Detective Jones sat down and opened his notebook.
“I’d like to interview everyone who was here last night,” said Detective Jones.
“I think only Martha, my cleaning lady, and I were here last night,” answered Mr Kunkel.
“Well, first, I’ll start with you. Can you tell me what you did last night before you left,” asked Detective Jones.
“Well, first, I said good night to Martha. Then I turned off all the power. Martha said that she would lock the doors when she left. I don’t think that she took the ruby because she is very honest,” said Mr Kunkel.
“Could you please tell her to come here? I’d like to ask her about last night,” said Detective Jones.
Mr Kunkel called Martha. She finally came five minutes later.
“Did you see anything unusual last night when you were leaving work?” asked Detective Jones.
“I saw July parking her car when I left. I talked to her and she said she was going to check her computer to see how many people she was going to take on an excursion,” answered Martha.

Judy came into the room. She looked a bit frightened.
I’d like to ask you a few questions,” said Detective Jones. “Where were you last night?”
“I was reading at home, then I came here just to check my computer. It only took me ten minutes and then I went home,” answered Judy.
