The criminal was caught.
Pansy wanted to write an article on detectives for the school newspaper. To get information, she interviewed Detective Ken. This is part of the interview.
PANSY You say that you like being a detective. Why
KEN Let me tell you about a recent case that I dealt with, Pansy. Mr Jones is a very rich man who lives alone and enjoys collecting things. He purchased a vase for 300,000 dollars. He showed it to only two people — his friends Jill and Jenny. Then he locked it in the safe at his house. That night, someone stole it. Mr Jones reported the theft, and I went to his house to look for clues.
PANSY Did you find any
KEN Yes, I found a black pearl earring near the open safe and, outside the open window of the room, I saw a lot of mud on the wet ground. Inside the room, the carpet was spotlessly clean.
PANSY So what did you do next
KEN I interviewed Jill and Jenny. They both denied stealing the vase. But I noticed that Jill was wearing a black pearl necklace — but no earrings.
PANSY So Jill was the thief
KEN I didn’t know. I needed proof. A good detective never jumps to conclusions. I decided what to do next. I showed Jill the earring, and she admitted it was hers. She said someone had stolen it from her house a month before. I checked her story. It was true.
PANSY So Jill was no longer a suspect. But what about your other clue — the mud outside and the spotless carpet inside
KEN That told me that probably no thief broke into Mr Jones’s house. So I questioned Mr Jones and, in the end, he admitted stealing his own vase. He had bought insurance for it. The insurance company would pay him 300,000 dollars if the vase was stolen.
PANSY And who stole Jill’s earring
KEN Mr Jones did that as well. He tried to make sure that Jill would go to jail instead of him.
PANSY So now Mr Jones is behind bars.
KEN Yes, and Jill is free. My job is to protect the innocent as well as find the guilty. That’s why I like being a detective.
Find the words in the box in the interview and try to work out their meanings by reading the words around them. Then use the words to complete Ken’s diary. You will need to use one of the words twice.
