The girl had just entered the shop when a portly man came running from behind the long row.
"You would be officer Andrea if I am not mistaken," he said as he reached her, to which Andrea nodded.
"You called and said that you have a case for me?" Andrea asked.
"Yes, its a very important one you see this is one of the biggest stores in the country, and not only is this a jewelry shop but a bank for jewelleries too where you can deposit your valuable. Our reputation has made the queen herself deposit her valuable gem scepter here"
"Your store must be making good money if the queen herself trust's you with her belongings"
"Yes, but there's a problem that has risen. Her Majesty's scepter that was stored here, its-it's missing" he broke down at the last word.
"Well this really is a serious case, let us meet your staff first," Andrea said.
After some time the staff was standing in front of her and she was looking at them.
There were in all five people three girls who were doing part-time there to support themselves. When she had questioned them she came to know that they all lived together. She ruled them out, for if they lived together it would be risky for anyone of them to steal and hide it in their apartment. There was another thought that she had, they all might be in it together but, this seems unlikely and far fetched so she didn't bother.
Now remained the other two one was the manager and Mr. Gray the owner trusted him the most. That left the last person, the boy.
Mr. Gray suspected him and when she had asked him why he had answered that the boy had joined just a week back and that too he agreed to work for a small sum of money.
Andrea couldn't think of anybody more guilty than him. She went to him and motioned for him to come to the storeroom.
"I would like to interrogate him in private if you don't mind," She said to Mr. Gray when he looked at her.
"Go ahead, I don't mind the least," He said as he motioned his head towards the storeroom.
When they both were in the room, Andrea turned to face the boy.
