Odd that the master would leave when such an important and priceless heirloom was taken; having learned that rich families like this often had big ego's and hated losing anything and with a cluster of families fighting over it, only made it even more strange. That and how scared the maid looked seemed suspicious as well, while most would think he would be overthinking things, but a detective is one who thinks of all possibilities and looks for anything that could be a motive or was out of place.

Silently following the others inside where as expected was large as looked from the outsides as he saw multiple maids working. Something was stolen and with the risk of it being an inside job, one would normally keep a tight leash and make sure all workers were closely watched, unless these women didn't know anything about magic or the heirloom.*Tch..I hate large places like this. Makes searching far more a hassle.*He thought to himself and with far too many variables right now; this case seemed to get more difficult over time unless they solved things quickly, this case could end up being a dead-end.

Not until he heard the screams of maids who were forcing down their skirts with flushed, embarrassed faces and would scan each of them for their reactions. Searching for if any would react differently than expected when having a skirt flipped, though of course only a child would think of attempting such a method.
