"Is that Mr Horita?"

"It's me. Who is calling? "

"I am a devil comedian."

Dai Duoji's face twitched with pain.

"Making a phone call is a prank. If nothing happens, I will hang up. "

"No, don't hang up. I'm not playing a prank. To tell you the truth, I have a crush on your precious' Solomon Crown'. "

Dai Duoji's face turned pale. This "Solomon Crown" is a rare treasure. The crown is inlaid with more than 20 colorful gems, among which a big diamond inlaid on the front of the crown is the most. It is 30 mm long, 26 mm wide and 20 mm thick. Solomon's crown is now in the safe in Oshima's study. The safe is specially made and very strong.

I'll get it today. You can call the police. I'm afraid he can't help you, but it's not safe to lock it in the safe. I don't know without you. In short, you should be careful. Goodbye. "

The phone hung up. Frightened, Dai Duoji quickly reported the police.

About 10 minutes later, Maeda Tanaka arrived with 10 policemen.

"I am Maeda of the Metropolitan Police Department, and I have arranged personnel inside and outside your home. Please rest assured. "

Dai Duoji's nervous mood recovered a little.

"Is Solomon's crown in the safe?"

The sheriff pointed to the safe in the corner of the study and said.

"Yes, I usually put it in the safe rented by the bank, because I have a friend to see tomorrow night, so I can get it back from the bank. Oh, by the way, while you are here, you'd better confirm the safe. "

Dedorje clearly remembered what the devil comedian said, so he wanted to open the safe to see if the "Solomon Crown" was still there.

"Ah, it's beautiful?"

The sheriff couldn't help shouting. Dai Duoji took out the "Solomon Crown" from the safe, which was colorful and dazzling. He never dreamed that there was such a beautiful thing in the world.

It happened in a flash. Suddenly, the light in the room went out, and it became dark all around. Then I heard a gunshot from the window.

Everyone in the room rushed to the window in unison. The sheriff shouted out of the window, "What the hell happened?"

Watching the police outside the window nervously reported:

"A suspicious man appeared in the corner of the yard, fired a shot into the air and ran away."

"It wasn't a shot that was put down under strict defense."

Soon, the electricity came and the room lit up again. Someone tampered with the switch outside the house.

At the same time, Dedorje exclaimed sadly.

"Where is it? Solomon's crown is gone? "

The crown that was on the table just now is missing.

"Really, a ghost! The rooms are locked, and all the passages are guarded ... "

Several people present were searched carefully and no crown was found. How did the devil comedian steal the crown from the heavily guarded room?

Answer:

The devil comedian has been hiding in the room in advance. He hollowed out the chair and hid it. When his men saw Dedorje take the crown out of the safe from the window, they turned off the switch and caused a power outage, which was used as a signal to instruct another accomplice to shoot in the air.

Disturbed by the gunfire, Dedorje and the police in the house crowded to the window, and the comedian took the opportunity to slip out of the chair and get the crown before returning to the chair. Then, after the alarm was lifted, he slowly got out of his chair and ran out of the room. This is the mystery of the crown disappearing from the chamber of secrets.

Of course, the call to Dorje was also made by people under the comedian. Telling Dedorje that "it is not safe to lock in the safe" is a clever psychological inducement to Dedorje. Dai Duoji was afraid of an accident and took the initiative to take out the crown from the solid safe.
