" 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," Devid explained.
" So, do you suspect anyone?" Arthur asked him.
" No. I can't suspect anyone." David shook his head and said.
"Do any of your family members know about it?" Arthur asked.
" Only no one knows about it. I didn't tell anyone about it." David said.
"Mr. Devid, if you don't mind, can you tell me in full detail what's happened? And when did you realize that someone stole the ring? Please tell me in detail or I won't be able to help you." Arthur said.

Arthur POV:
"Mr. Devid, if you don't mind, can you tell me in full detail of what's happened? And when did you realize that someone stole the ring? Please tell me in detail or I won't be able to help you." I said to him, that if I don't know the full incident, I can't help him.
"Ok, detective Arthur." He said, after drinking a glass of water he began to tell,
' Yesterday at 10:00 a.m. I went to the shop. Nothing major happened that day. Like any other day, yesterday was also the same. At 5:00 p.m. the craftsman of our shop sent me the good news that the ring was ready. So I happily approached the craftsman room with manager Alena and Bob. Bob was Mike's apprentice. Mike Gajor is the head craftsman of our shop."
" So, we approached the crafting room. After reaching, we saw the ring. The ring was so beautiful. Here I also have a picture." After saying that, he opened his mobile and showed me a picture of a ring. I looked at the photo carefully. I have to say, it was really beautiful.
"Then I put the ring in a box and left the crafting room. This time, only Alena and I left the room. I put the ring box in my coat's inner pocket. When I was in the shop, the Ring was always with me."
" At 8:00 p.m. we closed the shop, and I was coming back home while driving my car. In my home I have a wife, two children, one is 8 years old and the other one is 10 years old, my little brother, and some servants. After coming back home, I went to my room."
"I have a cupboard in my house that I don't let anyone touch. I keep all my essentials inside that cupboard. In that cupboard, I have a small iron locker, in which I kept this ring. When I woke up this morning and opened the locker to check the ring, I found nothing inside of the locker."
" Seeing that, I was dizzy. I didn't know what I should do now. I immediately called my trusted manager, Alena, and told her everything. I even thought about calling the police, but then Alena said that we couldn't do that. Only then did she tell me about you. Just hearing your name, I searched for your address and quickly came here." With that, David finished telling me the details of the case.
I am at this time, busy thinking about the case. So, he took the ring home with him and then put the ring in a locker. Nobody could touch the closest, but still, someone opens that closet, then opens the iron locker, and steals the ring. Mr. David only understands that someone stole the ring when he opens the closet to check the ring. So, the person who stole the ring. As for the others, he touched nothing. Because of this, David is unable to guess that at first.
"Mr. Devid, who has the key to that cupboard except you?" I asked him.
" No, one. I didn't give the key to anyone. I kept many important documents in that closet. So, I don't give the key to anyone. I didn't even give the key to my wife." He replied.
" One thing is sure, the person who stole the ring was in your home. He also had the key to your closet. Did you suspect any of your servants?"
" No, they all are loyal. All of them have been working there for a long time. I trust all of them." David said to me.
" Umm… then did you see anything weird around you? Like anyone behaving weirdly, their behavior suddenly changed, or any suspicious person. If anything like this happens or you feel, then tell me about it." I asked him.
"Ummm... weird things happened around me… " he began to think. I didn't disturb him at this moment. Uncle James once again gave me a cup of coffee. He knows I love coffee the most.
Sometime later,
"Well, I don't know if you call this weird, but when lady Helena came to our shop…. Ohh, she was the person who wanted that ring. So when lady Helena came to our shop and talked to me, for a second I glanced outside. I saw a person looking in Lady Helena's direction. But when he noticed me, he stopped looking. That time I didn't pay that much attention. Also, because I just glanced for a second, I can't remember that much, but I can tell you that person was wearing a sky blue jacket." Devid told me.
Hearing him, I just nodded and began to think. Did behind this stealing. Is there any connection between lady Helana and the theft? I am thinking about that.
"Well, did you see anyone in your house behaving weirdly?" I suddenly asked him.
"Umm… Well, as you can see, I spend most of my time in the jewelry shop. So even if someone is behaving weirdly, I cannot tell. But recently I saw some weird behavior in my brother. Like, 3 days ago, he came back home at 11:30 p.m. Previously, he never came back later." Devid is telling me.
