Chapter 2: The Party
One sunny Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Johnson, who lived in the biggest house in Greenfield, decided to throw a party. Everyone in town was invited. The party was grand with lots of food, music, and decorations. Emily went to the party with her parents. She was excited because she loved Mrs. Johnson’s house. It was like a castle with many rooms and secret places.

During the party, Mrs. Johnson showed everyone her most prized possession—a beautiful diamond necklace. It sparkled in the sunlight, and everyone admired it. Mrs. Johnson wore it around her neck with pride.

The police were called immediately. They searched the entire house but could not find the necklace. Emily watched as the police questioned everyone. She noticed something strange—Mr. Thompson, the gardener, seemed very nervous.
Chapter 6: The Clues
Emily decided to investigate on her own. She started by talking to people who were at the party. Mrs. Green, the baker, said she saw Mr. Thompson near the jewelry box just before the necklace went missing. Emily then found a small piece of black cloth near the garden. Mr. Thompson always wore black clothes.

Emily decided to confront Mr. Thompson. She found him in the garden, looking worried. “Mr. Thompson, I know you didn’t mean to do anything wrong. But I found this piece of cloth. It matches your clothes,” Emily said softly.
Mr. Thompson sighed. “Yes, Emily, I was near the jewelry box. But I didn’t steal the necklace. I was cleaning up and accidentally knocked it over. I got scared and hid the necklace in the garden. I was going to return it, but then everyone started panicking.”

Emily believed Mr. Thompson and decided to help him. They went to the garden and found the necklace hidden under a bush. Emily and Mr. Thompson went to Mrs. Johnson and explained everything. Mrs. Johnson was relieved to have her necklace back and forgave Mr. Thompson.
