4. These five young people went to Serra da Estrela to the farm of
Pedro's uncle. Halfway they diverged, because the driver's guide
wanted to surprise them. Unfortunately, they got stuck because of the
snow, and also because of the lack of petrol in the car. Then they went
to look for shelter to warm themselves, and the driver sought for help.
They found an old abandoned house. Pedro saw a painting of a girl named
Camila, and he fell in love with her. He decided to look for some
information on Camila in the furniture. The next day, a couple and a
daughter, Camila, came in, and they asked what they were doing in that
house. Suddenly, Pedro’s uncle arrived to see if they were all well.
Camila’s father said that he did not know that Pedro was his nephew,
the owner of the farm of S. Francisco. Then they went to a luxury hotel.
There were several robberies in this hotel (rings, necklaces ...), for this
reason they moved out of there, back to the farm. João had forgotten
his gloves, which made them all turn back to pick them up but inside
these gloves they saw a ruby.
5. They decided to confirm whether or not it was really a precious stone,
so they went to a jewelry. There was a couple in this shop, the woman
was trying several earrings. Then she started arguing with her husband
making a huge fuss about a golden watch and they left. The store
jeweler exclaimed that he was stolen, called the police and the uncle
came and said they only attracted the problems (crimes, robberies ...)
to solve them. They went home and played masquerades, except for
Pedro who was forging a sheet of Camila’s diary, he found in the
abandoned house. The others picked up Pedro with the sheet, and
decided that the next day they would go and look for the treasure.
They did. The thieves caught these mini detectives. They put the young
people in a well, luckily some scouts took them from there and went to
get the dog- Faial- to the chicken coop, that the father of Camila
wanted to be with him. Peter sprayed all the thieves and put them to
sleep, as a revenge for what they had done to him. As they slept, they
called the police. Conclusion: another case resolved.
