The mystery of apartment theft

Chapter 1

Well, the summer is over, go to school again. Since that time, as I passed the first investigation, nothing happened. We finished the first quarter and November. The first of December to the first lesson, the door opens and the class includes blubbered Mary Fedorchuk.

– Masha, what happened? – asked our classmate Elena Viktorovna.

– We were robbed-said Masha, already barely restraining herself from crying again.

–Come in and take your seat."

At recess, Masha was surrounded by the entire class. It turned out that money, jewelry and … a cat were stolen from her. All our people looked at me (they knew about my case*)

– Anya, will you take this case? Emil Tszyu, who had long been in love with Masha, asked.

– Yes, I'll take it – I decided-Masha, can you come to me after school?

– Yes-said Masha.

I was on tenterhooks for the rest of the school day, because I wanted to interview a robbery victim for the first time in my life.

* – Read the book " the RIDDLE of NOISE in the ATTIC»

Chapter 2

The school day was finally over. Masha and I rushed to my place. When we arrived, I picked up my notebook and pen and started asking questions:

"Mash, what was stolen?"

–All the money that was at home, the jewelry: two pairs of identical ruby earrings, a sapphire ring, and Lucy. This is our cat. She is completely black, with different eyes, one green and the other yellow. She was wearing a purple collar.

"Yes, the theft is strange. Hey, you're someone talked about this?

–Yes, but I was told only Latugino and no one else.

– Oh…, the circle of suspects is narrowing, now we just have to wait, if someone from our class is robbed, and the person only told Zlatukhina, then we will need to pin her to the wall. So we will definitely help you.

"Who are you?" Masha was surprised.

– Like who. Me and Motya.

– I still don't understand Motya because he's a rat.

–So what. It helps me to carry out a brain attack. As Petka says from the books of Catherine Wilmont.

–I've read her books, too. Only I don't remember about the brain attack.

–This is in the series of her books "Dasha and Co»*

– Ah…, I see. I don't have these books.

–Nothing I'll give you to read I have.

– Thank you, okay I'll go I have to go. Bye!

– Bye!

Chapter 3

When I came to school in the morning, I found out that three others had been robbed: Varya Lushkevicha, Nastya Lukyanova and Renata Lukyanenko. The same thing was stolen from them, only from Varya-the dog, from Nastya-the cat, from Renata-the rabbit. And they said only Latugino.

So it all fits – I thought – she's a spotter. And tomorrow I'll nail her to the wall. And she can't avoid the answer.

Chapter 4

As soon as I entered the school, began to look out Latugino. And here she is. It is advisable to press it in an empty classroom, so that no one burned it. This opportunity presented itself after the last lesson. I called Masha, Varya, Nastya and Renata to help.

– Diana! I called.

–That responded to Latugino.

"Come here."

–Why.

"I have a case."

"Okay, I'm coming.

As soon as she came up, we grabbed her against the wall.

– Girls, what does this mean? Diana asked, startled.

"Tell me you're a tipster," I said.

–What are you talking about?"

– Don't be silly, you know everything! And if you don't admit it, we'll give you a black eye. You have 30 seconds to think. Time's up.

"Thinking about what?" Diana asked.

– Like what, tell everything or get a black eye. By the way, Yes, time is up, so what's your choice?

"I'll tell you everything, but don't give me a black eye," Diana pleaded.

"Well, go ahead.*

After the story, it turned out that her father was a robber. He robs apartments, taking only money, jewelry and animals. He kept the money for himself, sold the jewelry, and gives the animals to their owners, getting paid for it

great reward. And that his next victim is Tanya Skvortsova.

–And when he was going to Rob Tanya? I asked.

The day after said Latukhina.

–We have a chance to catch him red-handed, warn Tanya.

–Girls, if you catch him, I will be very grateful to you.

"I mean," I said, " he's your father."

– Yes, father, but when my parents got divorced, he didn't let me go with my mother and I had to stay with him. But my mother got married again and asked me to move in with her. And I want to do it as quickly as possible.

"All right, I'll talk to Tanya. My father has a friend who is a Colonel in the police, and can ambush Tanya's apartment. Okay, girls, I'm going to call Tanya and uncle Lyosha.

– Is uncle Lyosha the policeman?

"Yeah, well, I'm off. Bye!

"Bye," said the others.

And so, finally, I got out of school.

* – go ahead and tell me.

Chapter 5

As soon as I arrived, I immediately called Tanya Skvortsova.

Tanya asked into the phone.

– Yes I, tan need to meet.

"All right, come to me.

"I'm on my way."

I hung up and ran to Tanya. After telling her everything, Tanya decided:

– An, at this time we are all at school, and the parents are at work, so you can bring your police officer, let them set up an ambush. I don't mind.

– That's cool. Can I call from you?

– of Course, call.

I dialed the number and was immediately answered:

–I'm listening."

– Uncle Lyosha, Hello.

– Hi, Anya. How are you doing?

– I'm fine.* Uncle Lesha has a case.

"All right, go ahead.*

I told him the same thing I told Tanya and asked him to set up an ambush.

– Thank you Anya, we will definitely arrange it, tell us the coordinates – he was happy.

– Krymskaya house 80 apartment 208. * * Tanya will be waiting for you at the entrance at 7 o'clock.

* – hockey-OK.

**– address other than the street is fictitious.

Chapter 6

On Friday, I came to school and saw Tanya running towards me.

– Hi, did you wait for him? I asked.

–Yes. He's already set up an ambush in our apartment.

– Hi, Anya – said Diana, who came up.

–Hi.

– An, I'm moving today. Can you help?

"Yes, I can. But first we'll run to Tanya's. Uncle Lesha will have to detain your father by now.

–Well.

Chapter 7

After school, we stopped by Tanya's. The robber was caught at 9 o'clock. And all the loot was returned to the owners. I helped Diana move in. On Monday, uncle Lyosha came, awarded me a diploma, and as a reward gave me a bag of treats for the rats. That's how my second investigation ended.
