The Richest Man in Town - Short Crime Story

Detective Max, a man weary from late nights and countless solved cases, found himself standing before the magnificent gates of Blackwood Manor. The wrought iron, curved into menacing gargoyles, seemed to mock him. Inside, nestled among acres of manicured lawns and meticulously landscaped gardens, was the home of Richard Thornton, the richest man in town. Tonight, it transformed into a crime scene.  Thornton, a man known for his shrewd business acumen and even more extravagant art collection, had reported a theft. A priceless diamond necklace, the "Eye of Orion," had disappeared from his supposedly impenetrable vault.  The atmosphere in the mansion was tense. Thornton, a large man with a perpetually flushed face, paced nervously around his office. His elegant wife, Eleanor, sat stiffly on a velvet chaise longue, her face pale and haggard. Around them were scattered the remains of a lavish party—half-empty champagne glasses, discarded canapé plates, and the lingering scent of expensive perfume.  Max, a man of quiet observation, surveyed the scene. He spoke little, preferring to let the details speak for themselves. The vault, located behind a false panel in Thornton’s office, was a marvel of engineering. With its laser grids, pressure plates, and intricate combination lock, the vault appeared impenetrable to intruders. However, the Eye of Orion had vanished. “Detective, I don’t get it,” Thornton grunted, wiping his forehead with a silk handkerchief. “The vault was locked. The alarm never went off. It was like the necklace just…disappeared!” Max nodded slowly. He had already spoken to the security team, had inspected the vault thoroughly, and had reviewed the security footage. None of it made sense. There were no signs of forced entry, no tripped alarms, and no suspicious activity caught on camera. The only people with access to the vault—Thornton, Eleanor, and the head of security, a large man named Boris—were at the party. He gathered the three suspects into the office. Thornton was still agitated, Eleanor was calm but clearly upset, and Boris was a stoic figure with a watchful gaze. “Mr. Thornton,” Max began in a calm and measured voice. “Tell me when you last saw the necklace.” “I put it in the vault myself yesterday afternoon, after showing it to a potential buyer,” Thornton replied, his voice trembling slightly. “I checked the vault again this morning before the party started. Everything was fine.” “Mrs. Thornton,” Max said to Eleanor. “Did you know that your husband put the necklace back in the vault?” Eleanor hesitated for a moment, then said, “Yes, I did. He mentioned it to me at breakfast. “Boris,” Max said to the security chief. “You're responsible for the security system. Can you confirm that there were no violations?” Boris, his gaze unwavering, said, “There were no breaches, Detective. The system worked perfectly. No alarms were set off. We recorded no unauthorized access. Max paused, stroking his chin thoughtfully. He knew one of these three was lying. The problem was, he couldn’t prove it with evidence. He decided to try a different approach, using a logic puzzle disguised as a simple question.  “I have a question for you all,” Max announced, holding up a small, inconspicuous object—a silver paperweight in the shape of an owl. “That owl paperweight was also in the vault, next to the necklace. Now, if someone had stolen the necklace, who would have been the first to notice its absence? Please answer only from your perspective.” Thornton immediately exploded. “Of course, I would! I own the necklace! It’s my responsibility to ensure its safety!” Eleanor, after a moment of reflection, replied, “I believe I would. As Richard’s wife, I am often privy to his business dealings and would probably have noticed his absence.” Boris, ever the professional, declared, “I would be the first. As head of security, I am responsible for regularly checking the contents of the vault to ensure their safety and security.” Max closed his eyes for a moment, a faint smile playing on his lips. The puzzle was solved. The thieves had unwittingly revealed themselves. He opened his eyes and pointed at Elinor. “You’re the thief, Mrs. Thornton.” Elinor gasped, her composure breaking. Thornton stared at her in disbelief. Boris remained unfazed, but his face showed surprise. “How… how did you know?” Elinor stammered, barely audible.  Max explained, “Your answers, while seemingly innocent, betrayed you. Mr. Thornton, as the owner, would naturally assume that he would be the first to discover the theft. Boris, in his professional capacity, would logically assume that he would be the first to discover the missing necklace during his routine checks. However, Mrs. Thornton, as the wife, is unlikely to have checked the vault without permission or prompting. She should not believe that discovering it was missing was her responsibility. She asserted that as the thief, she would have been the first to discover the necklace's disappearance.  He continued, “You knew the necklace was missing because you took it. Only you would have that certainty. Your response was a subtle move, a desperate attempt to appear innocent, but it ultimately convicted you. Eleanor, defeated, confessed. She had been deep in debt, unbeknownst to her husband. She had hoped to sell the necklace and escape her financial troubles. She had used her knowledge of the safe combination, gleaned from years of surveillance, to slip in quietly and take the necklace. Eleanor's dressing room revealed the hidden Eye of Orion. Thornton, heartbroken but relieved, thanked Max sincerely. As Max walked back to the gates, the gargoyles seemed to nod in approval. Justice had been served not through brute force or clever devices, but through the simple power of logic and observation. The case of the stolen necklace was closed, yet another testament to Detective Max’s sharp mind and his ability to see through carefully constructed facades of deception. Detective Max understood that the truth, akin to a concealed gem, consistently surfaced for those with the right focus. The key to solving the mystery was the words—and more importantly, the conclusions—of those involved. He stepped out into the cool night air, the city lights painting a hazy glow in the distance, already anticipating the next puzzle that awaited him.

Quotes from my third book. 'The Heir of the Dynasty'

I hope it will be on the market by the end of January 2024. I took the liberty of posting long quotations. Certainly, some readers may, after reading this book, accuse me of being against poor people. Nothing of the kind. They can take lessons from her.
1. Only they could not control their own children and the weather
 2. Confidence in oneself wins, and trust in others
 3. Okay, let's say I'm having a bad day. You are over the moon with happiness. I come and ruin your day, how will you feel.
  4. I don't know, I'm looking for someone who will like me, soul and heart not only physically
 5. We respected each other so much that we were afraid to share our feelings in case it didn't work out. 
 6. I have no idea how rich you are. But that's enough, to waste your time with me a poor student, do you really like me that much.-
  7. You may have lied to me up to this point, but from now on, just don't do it. I will feel you and you will lose me.
   8. It is one thing to know that you will have a test today and to have prepared, it is another thing to rely on someone to give you advice.
  9. As much as a person thinks about something, the events themselves cause them to happen. Even easier than we imagine.
10. Bad thoughts only complicate our lives.
11. We have to let some things happen by themselves.
12. You have one life and it is yours. Only you can determine and choose how it goes. The most important thing is that you like it
13. Imagination is a corridor to the new
14. The most important thing is to think about the task itself. She enlightens us sometimes. But the important thing is not to give up and to be persistent
   15. When you feel tired, stop and collect energy from nature
16. I guess you have a rich soul, at least I think so. We are thus trained to communicate only with people who have rich souls and they are rich in every way
17. The poor man just finds an excuse for me by blaming the rich man for all the troubles of the earth.
18. The poor always discuss the neighbor or someone else which is a waste of time, the rich think about how to produce a product that will be recognized by more people.
19.-Okay, what do you think about money? Mary asked
-Measure of value, to measure a given work or value of a product or service. People use it to make things easier when one thing is exchanged and it changes according to supply and demand
20.-He who controls money does not need to be afraid of it. But he who cannot control them always falls short. No matter how many he has, he still won't be able to handle them. That is why there are poor and rich. The difference is in money management.
21. The least starts with investing knowledge. Almost every town has a library. He has to prepare and find a way to invest.
22. The ordinary person has no idea that the little money that he keeps in the bank works for the business. His pension money is also in stocks and government securities. With the money he collects to buy a property over the years, inflation melts it away
23. My conclusion is that when you have something, you don't pay attention to it. If you don't have it, you strive for it.
24. Now with the new technologies, many people have the opportunity to get the necessary information. But they spend their time for the simplest possible entertainment, but not to become literate. 25. You can write something simple in an hour, and it goes around the world like lightning as if it is something great, but if it is something meaningful, they don't even pay attention to it
26. The way of life is very complicated, but if we harness our energy into something we believe in and like, it will seem wonderful.
27. People do not openly like to be helped. In today's world, this is even more true. Go to someone who needs help, give him a hand, and in a year he will make you the blackest devil. Therefore, for the last three hundred years, our kind has worked by indirectly helping.
28. If you know the formula, every task is easy
29. Sometimes we are so consumed by our goals that we forget or neglect our loved ones. I realized this was a mistake. With good will, one can find time for everything. I can't go back in time and fix my mistakes. I am only asking you to forgive me. I love you very much, Nesia said and hugged her daughter tightly.
30. Many of the people we call great have obviously sacrificed a lot but left something significant behind. But no one thinks about the people who were by their side and supported him and I'm sure that they sacrificed more.
31. It is not a question of tearing the sock and then sewing it up. Yes, he does work, but he always steps on the stitched me and we feel it. The best solution is conversations
32. I don't want to offend you, but regardless of my age, I have enough knowledge to solve any complex issue without consultants. I am not afraid of anything or anyone. I don't need anything. Everyone here has duties and fulfills them. I don't care about business. There are people who care about him.
33. We can't take back the past no matter how much we want, but we can reward the future as we wish

The preliminary criticism does away with any potential roadblocks.

 What is the solution to this puzzle?  Obstacles are something that are bound to be encountered in any activity, regardless of whether it is a personal or a commercial endeavor. Although some of them are quite enormous, others are quite small in comparison to others. On the other hand, every difficulty gives an opportunity to grow as a person and acquire new knowledge. In this section, we will examine the process of identifying problems and finding solutions to those problems in greater detail. After a problem has been identified, the next stage is to initiate the process of coming up with ideas for possible solutions to the problem. It is vital to study all of the options that are available to you because there are numerous ways to solve problems. This is because there are numerous approaches to problem-solving. After you have reviewed all of the options that are open to you, it is time to conduct an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each potential solution. What is the most advantageous option among the options that are available? Which potential risks are there to consider? At the point where you have finished accounting for all of the information, it is time to make a decision. What is the most efficient method to move forward with this situation? Following the conclusion of the decision-making process, it is now time to put that decision into action. In spite of the fact that this may be the most difficult component of finding a solution to a problem, it is also the most important. Occasionally, we may not achieve exactly what we desire. This is something that happens. Nevertheless, this is the nature of life: the never-ending struggle to find answers to problems. In the novel that I authored, I tell the narrative of a prince who, by placing his trust in other people, is able to find a solution to the problems that he is facing. First, you should read it; then you should create a comparison between your problem and the prince's predicament; and last, you should discover a solution to your problem.

In order to make the best decision, my book is helpful.

They are able to make the proper decision and accept its repercussions. Furthermore, they are unable to ever give up. Selecting the appropriate option is usually a challenging task. When there are many things to think about, it is not always easy to determine which option is the best one. However, it's vital to consider all options and make the best choice. Another challenging aspect is having to live with the consequences of your decisions. There are instances when the repercussions are favorable, and there are other occasions when they are unfavorable. However, it's vital to accept the outcomes of your choices and learn from them. Additionally, it is essential to never give up. There are times when things get difficult, and it may appear that simply giving up is the wisest course of action. However, it is essential to never give up on your aspirations and to persevere through the challenging circumstances that you are going through.  To make the best decision, my book is helpful.  I penned it with my children in mind. There are stores where you can look for it.
