Chapter 1018 - There is an inside thief

He introduced everyone in the room, one by one, to Mrs. Smith.

Finally, facing the crowd again, he introduced, "Let me introduce to you, this is my wife, Monica Smith."

Charlie and Victoria rushed forward and politely called out, "Mrs. Smith."

Mrs. Smith should also look forty years old, perhaps because of poor health, and not too much maintenance, a face a little pale and haggard, but still can see the foundation is good, the features are very clear, when young should be a beautiful beauty.

She smiled faintly and said, "It's cold outside, what do you have to say, come in and talk."

With that, he staggered to let them in.

When the group entered the house, the warm air baked the whole house with a warm atmosphere, and Mrs. Smith directed the maids to come up and get their clothes.

Natalia and her group came out in a hurry, still wearing the dresses they just attended the party, only the outer surface covered with a coat.

But the good thing is that the house is warm, take off the coat is not cold, so one by one will take off the outside jacket.

Uncle Smith asked anxiously, "What is going on? Wasn't the Celestial Book at home all along? How could it be lost just like that?"

Mrs. Smith's face doesn't look too good when she mentions this.

"I do not know what is going on, the things at home, has always been where you put it, and no one to move, just now you called me, let me open the safe to take out that thing, I opened, only to replace that it is missing."

Uncle Smith's face was grim.

"Show me."

So, a group of people went to the second floor.

The Celestial Book, which was previously kept in a safe.

Although it may well be a fake in the eyes of Uncle Smith, that just means it's a fake Celestial Book, but that doesn't stop it from being a really good piece of jade.

So, Uncle Smith still put it in the safe and locked it up.

The safe, on the other hand, is kept in the bedroom on the second floor.

When a group of people came to the scene, only to see the door of the safe is open, which put some cash and documents, next to a black velvet box, the box opened, it was empty. Uncle Smith quickly stepped forward and picked up the box.

Natalia asks, "Celestial Book, was it in this box before?"

Uncle Smith nodded his head.

His face didn't look too good as he turned the box over and over a few times, then looked inside the safe again and said in a deep voice, "Is this how the box was opened after you opened it?"

Mrs. Smith shook her head.

"No, it was closed, I thought the stuff was inside and was about to take it out, when I picked up the box I felt it was much lighter, something was wrong, I didn't expect to open it and replace that the stuff was gone."

Uncle Smith sulked.

Mrs. Smith and he had been married for nearly twenty years, and was absolutely trustworthy, but the house except for the two of them, the usual maids could not enter this side of the bedroom without permission, so where did it go?

With that in mind, he turned his head to Felix.

"Mr. Bissel, I'm really sorry, I thought I could help you guys out, but now ..."

Felix raised his hand, stopping his later words.

"No one expected this to happen, I believe in the good intentions of Uncle Smith, and now since the item is lost, we are willing to accompany you to get it back if you wish."

Uncle Smith nodded his head.

"Then of course I would like to, except ... how do I replace it?"

Doing business he is good at, but this catching thieves, he is confused.

Felix looks to Mrs. Smith.

"When was this thing put in?"

Mrs. Smith said softly, "It was put in a long time ago, really, about five years ago."

"It's been sitting in there untouched?"

"Not really." Uncle Smith added: "We do business everywhere, we bought properties in every place, this is just one of them, sometimes I need to stay here for a long time for business, I will live here, occasionally remember this thing, will also take out to play a little, but the total number of times is really not a lot."

"Can Uncle Smith remember the last time you saw it, when it was?"

"About... three days ago?"

Uncle Smith thought about it, hesitantly said: "At that time I originally thought, to take it to Vicky's birthday, but then turned to think, it is a fake, not inauspicious, so did not send, and put back." "Then that means that it was lost within these three days. Within these three days, did anyone else come in the villa besides you two?"

"No."

This time, it was Mrs. Smith who opened her mouth, "I live here with dear two people, we have no children, naturally there will be no one else to come over, the house maids are usually upstairs, upstairs bedroom and study, are my own hands to take care of, there is no way outsiders come in."

Victoria laughed: "That's strange, no one came in, can that thing still disappear out of thin air?"

"Naturally, it can't just disappear into thin air."

Felix walked up, took a closer look at the safe, and asked, "The combination to this safe, is it something only you two know?"

"No, there is also a nephew of my mother's family, because this safe is he came to help us install, we two do not have children, has always treated him as a biological child, so did not hide him, for fear of an accident, at least he can still help us deal with some things."

Felix nodded.

He first checked the safe and then walked outside and looked at the bedroom door.

Queeny looked at him curiously and wondered what he was looking at.

Felix asks, "Where is your nephew now?"

"Oh, he went to Vicky's birthday party, too."

"He went to the party too?" Victoria was surprised for a moment.

"What's his name? I don't seem to see any fresh faces today."

After all, she has been married to Charlie for so many years, and has met all the relatives of The Stevenson family, large and small, Victoria has no other merits, but one merit that is a good memory.

Not to mention the ability to remember each and every name, but at least it was a face she had seen and would never forget the next time she saw it.

Mrs. Smith said suspiciously, "Never seen it? That can't be right, he told me himself he would be there."

Charlie asked, "May I ask what your nephew's name is?"

"His name is Johnny."

Johnny?

Victoria and Charlie looked at each other.

After all, it is a birthday banquet, and all the guests who have come to the birthday banquet will give gifts.

When receiving gifts, it is convenient to note down the human interaction, and usually the list of guests is also noted down.

Charlie, as Vicky's only grandson, the list will naturally go through.
