On this day, Miss Dalena, who lives in the holiday villa, has her belongings stolen, and Sheriff Poirot is responsible for solving the case after receiving a report.
According to Miss Dalena, she was taking a shower in the bathroom at the time of the crime, but when she came out, she found that the diamond ring on the dresser was missing, although the ring was very cheap but very memorable, and she was very distressed and anxious. Sergeant Poirot took a closer look at the scene, specifically studying the bite marks on the matchstick on the dresser. He then learned more about the environment and people of the villa, and found that there was a large garden near the villa, where many tropical birds, falcons, lovebirds, etc., were raised, and he also learned that the caretaker was responsible for taking care of these birds, and that he had been seen training them. Finally, Sergeant Poirot affirmed: "The mastermind is the administrator, but the thief is innocent." ”
