Jaja, we shouldn't have laughed! The police came back the next day and since the snow had melted, we were rather nervous. The stupid exorcists had continued their "spirit-work" on the station and told the two policemen, that they had a devil called Santa in their bodies.
So the guys were rather sour, when they started to investigate room after room in Challes big old house (Built 1830). They were sure, that they would find a murdered Santa, in some wardrobe. We slunk after them, a little subdued, since we understood that the garden soon was in line.
Then, praise Jesus and all his apostles! It started to snow. Bigbig flakes gathered over our new flower-bed. A white blessing! And we smiled again!
The police went up to the third floor, and since we seldom use the rooms there, I became rather surprised when they found a suspicious space, behind a wall. They measured the floor and found that there must be a room in the room, a place perfect for a hidden body.
They didn't hesitate. Heavy tools in heavy, eager policehands broke down the thin extra-wall.
Huh!

A new little room! And in that little room a black coffin...
"Aha", said one sturdy wall-broker and opened the coffin.
No body, but a red rather big velvet-box. He opened that one too...
Gosh, gosh and gosh again!
A treasure! An unimaginable treasure.
Hundreds of diamonds, rubies and other stones, I don't even know the names of. And a bunch of rail-road-shares from last century, plus Deutsche mark in thousands from 1910.
This was the last room to investigate, and no Santa had been found. But an enormous fortune. The snow fell and fell, and the silenced policemen gave up and left.
Now we can put up a golden statue on a special place in the garden and my brother Arnold, that somehow is the reason for all this, can get at least some rail-road-shares and a bunch Deutsche mark...
Hahahah...
