Jewels
"I have the only key to the room containing the jewelry of my late aunt, Maggie," stated Sid. "Since her death a week ago, neither I nor anybody else has entered this room. I was quite pleased to hear her will requested that all her jewelry was to be sold and the proceeds to go to charity," continued Sid. Shadow removed a large plant whose broad leaves were turned toward the wall, partially covering the safe. While Sid was working the combination lock, Shadow crossed the room to sit on the ledge of the large bay window. Sid opened the safe, and removed the bag of jewels. "I'm sure these jewels will fetch a fortune for charity," said a smiling Sid. "I'll bet these jewels are either fake or there's a few missing," replied Shadow. What aroused Shadow's suspicion?
Answer
Sid, who had the only key, said that neither he nor anyone else had been in the room for the past week. If this were true, the leaves of the plant would have been leaning toward the window instead of the wall.Hide Answer Show Answer
