The Story…
Thank you for coming so quickly Detective. Let me tell you what happened. As you can tell by the looks of my gorgeous mansion, all these gorgeous people, and all the gorgeous cars out front, I am a billionaire. This evening I was hosting a dinner party. Guests arrived at 6:00 and were greeted at the front door by my BUTLER. Everyone was led into the library where we had appetizers passed out by my SERVANT. We were also enjoying jazz music provided by this swell PIANIST. At 7:00 we enjoyed dinner in the dining room. At the time I didn’t think it strange, but everyone got up from the table at some point during dinner and left the dining room. I don’t know what they were doing. At 8:00 we headed to the living room for dessert. That’s when I noticed my new pig-in-a-dinner-jacket statue, worth ten million dollars, was missing. I had just acquired the statue last week. It was prominently displayed up high, on my oversized mantle, in the living room. Right away I told everyone to stay put and I called 911.”
CLUES:
- Chocolate smudge on the back of a chair in the living
- A single light shining through the dining room window during (Remember guests all left at some point.)
- Missing Dragon Statue- golden, the size of a football, 20
