38. The Case of the Stolen Painting “Could you tell me what happened?” asked Officer Underhill. It was just 7:45 in the morning, and Officer Underhill was already at the Norwood City Art Museum. The director of the museum, Adam, Nix, was explaining the theft of one of the museum’s most valuable paintings to Officer Underhill.

39. The Case of the Stolen Painting “Well, I got here around 7:15 and found the back door open. It was strange because I am always the first person here, and I’m the one who usually opens all the doors here in the morning.” “Was the lock on the door broken?” asked Officer Underhill. A few other officers were walking around now, looking for any clues that might help them to catch the thief. “No,” replied Mr. Nix, “it wasn’t. The door was open and I walked in and looked around. That’s when I saw it.” “Saw what?” Officer Underhill asked Mr. Nix. “What did you see?” “A painting was missing from the east wall in the modern art room. Roses by the Window was our most valuable painting. It cost us more than half a million dollars!” Officer Underhill continued with his questions. “What about the alarm? Didn’t the alarm go off?”

40. The Case of the Stolen Painting “No, it didn’t,” said Mr. Nix. “I don’t know why it didn’t go off.” “Mr. Nix, who has keys to the museum?” “Well, of course I had a set of keys. Then Mr. Potts and Mrs. Jacksons have a set.” “Who are they?” asked the officer. “Mr. Potts in my assistant, and Mrs. Jackson is our head secretary.” Mr. Nix continued, “They’ve both worked here for as long as I can remember.” Just then Mr. Potts walked into the museum. It was 7:55.

41. The Case of the Stolen Painting “Mr. Nix, what happened?” asked the newcomer. “I’m afraid we’ve have a robbery during the night. On of the-“ Just then the officer interrupted. “Good morning, sir. My name is Officer Underhill and I’m here to investigate the theft of the painting. What can you tell me about it?” “Well, I don’t know much about that painting. It’s new to the museum,” said Mr. Potts. “That’s right,” added Mr. Nix. “We just got Rose by the Window about three weeks ago.” Officer Underhill spoke again. “What do you know about this painting?” “Well, as Mr. Nix said, we go it about three weeks ago. And I know that it was such an expensive painting, but they decided to buy it anyway.” “Mr. Potts, where were you last night?” asked the police officer. “Well, I was home all night,” answered the man. “Was anyone with you?” continued Officer Underhill.

42. The Case of the Stolen Painting Mr. Potts thought for a minute. “No,” he began. “I’m single, and I was alone last night.” Just then a woman came into the museum. “Oh, Mr. Nix, I’m sorry to be late again, but –“ Just then she saw the policeman and her voice stopped. With a very surprised look on her face, she continued talking. “What is going on here?”

43. The Case of the Stolen Painting Mr. Nix began explaining. “There was a robbery last night or early this morning. Someone took our Roses by the Window.” There was an empty look on the woman’s face. And this is Officer Underhill,” said Mr. Nix as he turned towards the officer. “He’s investigating the case.” “Good morning,” said Officer Underhill. “You must be Mrs. Jackson. I’m Officer Underhill and I’m in charge of this case.” “Yes, I see,” she said, still in shock over the theft of the painting. “Mr. Nix told me that you have a set of keys to the museum. Do you still your keys?” asked the officer. “Yes, I do,” she said rather quietly. “They’re right here in my purse,” she said as she put her left hand in her purse. She pulled out a set of keys and said, “Yes, here they are.”

44. The Case of the Stolen Painting Turning to Mr. Potts, the officer said, “What about you, Mr. Potts? Do you still have a set of keys to the museum?” “Sure, I have always had a set of keys to this museum,” answered Mr. Potts. The two police officers who had been looking around the modern art room walked into the room where the four people were standing. One of them turned towards the Officer and said, “We’re finished, sir. We’re ready to go back to the office to think about this crime.” “OK, everyone, I’m going back to my office now. Just as soon as I know something I’ll call you,” said Officer Underhill.

45. The Case of the Stolen Painting “Well, thank you very much for coming out so quickly. We’ll clean up the area around where the missing painting was. We have to hurry because we open at 9 a.m. That only gives us about 25 more minutes,” announced Mr. Nix. Later that afternoon, Officer Underhill called up Mr. Nix. “Mr. Nix, this is Officer Underhill. We believe that we know who stole the painting. The name of the thief is….

46. The Case of the Stolen Painting • What name did Office Underhill say to Mr. Nix? • Why does he think this person is the thief? Mr. Potts Mr. Potts should not have know which painting was stolen. Officer Underhill interrupted Mr. Nix off as he was explaining what painting was stolen.
