Lewis owned a big warehouse (仓库) because he had his own company. He stored all of his goods in the warehouse.
But one day, the warehouse caught fire. After Lewis’ family put the fire out, Lewis found that all of his goods had burned up. He called the police at once. Police officer Fred Brown soon arrived at the warehouse. He carefully checked the warehouse for nearly an hour. He said that the fire began inside the warehouse.
However, the warehouse’s door and windows were locked. If no one broke in and set the-fire, it must have been set by someone who had a key to the building.
“How has your business been going recently?”
Officer Brown asked Lewis.
“Not good,” said Lewis. “Actually, I’m going bankrupt (破产).”
“Buy you must have insurance (保险). It can cover your losses, right?” asked Officer Brown.
“That’s true. But my goods…” said Lewis. “I spent a lot of time and money to bring African grass skirts back to my warehouse.”
“Where did you put the grass skirts?” asked Officer Brown.
“'By the window,” Lewis answered.
Officer Brown walked towards the window, which was on the warehouse’s south side, away from the street. Standing by the window, he saw Lewis’s son running around with a magnifying glass (放大镜) in his hand.
“You set the fire, didn’t you?” Officer Brown turned around and asked Lewis.
