Mr. Scott has worked at a police station since he left army five years ago. He's brave and has already caught
many thieves. He was promoted (提升) to the rank of officer last month. Now he works harder.
It was Mrs Scott's birthday yesterday. The woman thought her husband was very busy,and she decided to
hold a small party only with her husband. Mr. Scott agreed with her and they didn't invite any friends of theirs
to the party. At noon he didn't go home for lunch and went to a shop. There he bought an expensive diamond
necklace for his wife. He hoped to put it on her neck with his own hands at the party. To his sorrow, a rich
woman's house was broken into and some jewellery was stolen, and at once he was sent there to solve the cas
e (案件). When he came back to his office, it was late at night. He was tired and hungry. He brought out the
necklace and was going to leave when he was asked to answer a telephone. Several minutes later when he came
into his office, he found the necklace was gone, and he saw the case (盒子) only on his table. He became very
angry and called all the policemen in and told them about it. But nobody acknowledged (承认) having stolen the
necklace.
"I'll give you a chance," said Mr. Scott, "All the lights will be tumed off. The man who took the necklace
away will be able to put the necklace into the case in the dark."
