Chapter 1. (:

Beep! Beep! My handphone rang again and it woke me up from my sleep. Reluctantly, I picked it up.

"Detective Charles, new case for you. There is a burglar case at Rainbow Street 15. Mrs Lily's ring got stolen in the middle of the night," my boss said urgently. I sighed heavily at the thought of solving another case. Immediately, I rushed down to the crime scene.

At the crime scene

Mrs Lily's apartment was huge. Very huge. It would be better if there were a swimming pool, I thought. I walked briskly towards the living room and I saw an old woman crouching on an arm chair weeping silently. Her face was very wrinkled. It looked as though she was ninety years old.

"Mrs Lily, can you tell me what exactly happened yesterday night?" I asked concernedly.

"Well," Mrs Lily said sadly. "It was late at night around one thirty. I was reading and munching some cookies. My precious ring was on my table, just beside my plate of cookies. I wanted to wash my hands. Hence, I left my bedroom to the toilet. When I was back, it was gone!"

"When did you leave your bedroom and when did you came back?" I asked while taking down notes into my detective notebook.

"One forty. I saw the clock on my desk. That was why I wanted to sleep. I came back at around one fifty," Mrs Lily replied.

After interrogating, I went around the house and did some detective work. No luck, I thought.
Just then, I stepped on a sweet wrapper.

Excitedly, I picked it up and put it inside a plastic bag.
