The vase used to belong to a formercastle.

But when the country was at war, the enemy troopsexploded the castle. Sodebates on how the vase survived went on and on. In order to remove people's doubt, a team of no less than 20 people carried out an informal investigation.

勇敢的女仆

接待大厅入口处的明朝木制花瓶使每个人都惊奇不已。艺术家以一种罕有的风格设计它，并挑选了贵重的珠宝装饰它。人们高度赞赏它那蜂蜜般的奇特颜色，还有上面精美的绘

画。

这个花瓶曾经属于一座从前的城堡，但在战争期间，敌人的军队炸毁了城堡，于是，关于这个花瓶是如何幸存下来的争论就一直在持续着。为了解开人们的疑问，一个由不少于20人的调查队开展了一次非正式的调查。他们找到的证据表明，有个女仆把花瓶拆开，然后让一名水手把它沉到当地的一个水井里。她从来没有泄露这个秘密，即使是在搜寻财宝的敌人

残酷的审讯下。

这位女仆真是值得给予一大笔钱作为对她的回报。
