13th December, Tuesday, East plaza,
Arthur was drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. In the morning, he has the habit of reading the newspaper. He was reading the news about the achievements of the police. These few days police officers arrest many big businessmen or rich people in the storm city.
Police have solid evidence against them, so those people can do anything. Some people also left the city to hide away from the police. But they still got captured by Police officers Mark, John, and many others.
"Well, it is good for them," Arthur said with a smile. After seeing his friend's name on the news, he was thrilled.
Suddenly, he heard a car sound outside of his house. He was unfamiliar with this car's sound. Arthur looked at the time. It was now 8:30 a.m. So, who can come to his noise this early? Well, he began to wait for the man to enter his house.
Arthur didn't have to wait that long because a few minutes later, he could hear a door knock. His attendant, James Layek, went toward the door to open it. Actually, James was his father's attendant. James should be 60-year-old. He didn't have any family, only a niece. When Arthur was solving Kenny's case, James went to his niece's house. Arthur called him Uncle James.
A few seconds later, James came to the hall room with another person. The person should be 45 to 50 years old, 5 foot 8 inches in height, have black eyes, and have a slightly fat figure. He was wearing a brown coat, brown pants, a white shirt, formal shoes, and a Finolex watch. Just seeing this man, you can tell that he was a rich person. But why was he here?
"Master, this person wants to meet you. He said he had a case that he wanted to discuss with you." James was the first person to talk. He told me the reason for this person coming here.
"Ok. Uncle, can you bring us two tea," he told his uncle James. James, listening to his order, left the room. Only then, Arthur said to them,
" Please, sit down," Arthur said to the person.
"Thank you," with a grateful tone as the person sat down.
"Well, let me introduce myself. I am Devid Yegar, the owner of Styles Jewelry." The person introduces himself to Arthur.
" Oh, so you are the owner of Stylex Jewelry. Nice to meet you, your shop's manager really helped me last. If I didn't get help from your shop, I wouldn't be able to solve the case." Arthur said to David with a grateful tone.
" No, no, Detective Arthur, you don't need to thank us. It was our duty to help." Devid said with a smile. He also felt good that someone was praising his shop.
"So, Mr. Devid, what do you want to talk about?" Arthur asked him.
" Mr. Arthur, before telling you what happened, I wanted to ask you. Did you know that in our shop, we bought a Blood diamond on 29th November?" He asked Arthur.
[A/N: This type of diamond has a drop of blood-like symbol inside them.]
" Yes, I heard that the Stylex Jewelry shop was the first to buy blood diamonds. The price of the ring which has the red ruby should be at least 60 million dollars. Am I right?" Arthur asked him.
" Yes, the price of the ring that has the diamond was 60 million dollars." He nodded and answered Arthur's question.
"So, what happened to the diamond?" Arthur asked.
"Well, to tell you the truth Mr. Arthur, at first I was very anxious. What if nobody wanted to buy the diamond ring? But fortunately, some days ago we finally got a customer that wanted to buy a ring that had a diamond. It thrilled us that someone wanted to buy it. So, I told the best craftsman in our shop to make the ring for the lady. On 12th December, the ring was finally done. The customer will come to our shop on 20 December to get the ring. She already paid the advance money.".
" So, I am very happy that the blood diamond ring was ready. We just needed to wait until 20 December, then the lady would come and get her diamond ring. But, yesterday someone stole the ring. I don't know what to do? I can't go to the police. The lady belongs to a high-ranking family, so I will go to the police. She will know about this and the result won't be good. I was panicking when my manager Alena told me about you, and I came to you." Devid said. At first, he was ok when he mentioned stealing, his emotions changed. Arthur notices it. His voice was very sad, like was about to cry any moment.
"Take a deep breath, Mr. Devid, and relax," Arthur said to him. He was trying to calm down David.
A few minutes later, David finally came down. At that time, James brings their tea. While finished drinking his tea, Arthur asked,
"Mr. Devid, I have some questions."
"Yes, yes, Detective Arthur, you asked me any questions. I will tell you everything." David quickly responded.
" First question, from where did that diamond ring get stolen?" Arthur asked.
" From my home." He answered. Arthur looked at him with an interest in hearing his answer.
"Why is that?" Arthur asked.
"Well, Detective Arthur, from the moment I brought the diamond to my shop, I always brought that diamond with me in my home," David answered.
" Anyone knows you brought the diamond to your house?" Arthur asked.
" Well, only manager Alena. She knows this because she was the one who suggested that I bring the diamond with me." He said.
" Do you think that manager Alena was the thief?" Arthur asked.
" No, she will never do that. She was the most trusted person I had. She is my old employee. When I first opened the shop, she joined the shop. So, you can say I trust her," David explains.
