Chapter 151: Chapter 151. Interviewing the Occupants 1

"Thank you," Jack replied. "Now, do you remember what time you arrived at this mansion two days ago?"

The Marquess seemed to be thinking for a moment, then answered, "Around ten in the morning."

"Can you describe what you did starting from when you entered the mansion until when you were aware of the theft?"

"Well… When I arrived, the butler received me at the main entrance. He then took me to the guest room where I waited while he went and informed the Duke. One of the maids brought me a wine to drink. I have been sitting in the guest room waiting until I heard the commotion. The butler came back and informed me that there had been an incident and asked me to remain seated for the moment. I waited there for quite a while before the guards showed up. Curious and tired of waiting, I followed the Captain to meet the Duke, and that's when I heard about the theft."

"What time did the guards show up?"

"Almost noon, I think."
