"Well, I say Bella," said Elena, wrapped in a cloak and hiding by a tree by the Seine, "why do we come to such a place at night?" It's cold by the river."

Bella also donned a trench coat.

The temperature at night is slightly cooler than during the day.

Not far away is Miss Elsa's cake shop. It's just that there are no more guests at this time.

Not only the cake shop, but all the shops in this area have closed.

The surrounding houses were pitch black, with only the faint lights of the Seine.

The moon was in the sky, and it was about twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Shh——!h Bella motioned for Elena to remain silent.

At this moment, two figures appeared on the roof not far away.

He looked athletic, weaving through the rooftops of a row of shops, and finally stopped at Miss Elsa's cake shop.

Instead of going through the main entrance, they climbed through the window and went straight into the attic on the upper floor of the store.

"Let's go." Bella said, pulling up Elena, who was shivering from the cold.

"I really want to get in the house and get warm." Elena grumbled as she followed Bella into the cake shop.

"Excuse me." As soon as Bella walked up to the attic, she turned on the lights inside.

Two masked men, on the floor of the attic, were busy picking up gold coins into sacks.

Suddenly exposed to the light, they were visibly frightened, and before they had time to pick up the remaining gold coins, they immediately jumped downstairs with sacks.

Downstairs, Officer Christopher had been in ambush for a long time.

In this way, the two thieves who were on the run were caught.

"Thank you very much for your help." Officer Christopher bowed respectfully, "If there's anything you need to do in the future, you're always at your disposal."

With that, Christopher went back with his men.

Bella and Elena walked back to the store, where Elsa and Kress had already cleaned the attic.

"Bella, how did you know that the gold coin was stolen?" Elena couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's actually very simple." Bella replied, "Every king of France issued a currency with his own face on it when he came to power. On this gold franc is the deceased Louis XIV. In terms of time, after almost half a century of circulation, especially in the more prosperous Paris, it is almost impossible to encounter such a long period of currency. After these coins were recovered, they were not all reminted, but a part of them were chosen to be preserved in the Louvre's museum. In the recent theft of the Louvre, it was these golden francs that were lost."

"But why did the robbers hide something in Miss Elsa's cake shop?"

"It's a bit of a coincidence." Bella said, "Miss Elsa, when did you buy this shop?"

"Let me think about it, probably ...... It was more than a month ago." Elsa replied.

"So, why didn't it open until today?"

"Well, because the things are not yet ready, and the renovation has not been completed for a long time, the room needs to be ventilated."

"So, the attic window is also open?"

"That's right."

"But isn't it dangerous to hide things here?" Elena said, "What if I find out?"

"Well, it's a certain risk, but it's better than carrying it with you, right? For lately the guards in all parts of the city have been carefully examining suspicious figures, and as soon as they are discovered, and they cannot tell the source of the gold coins, they are exposed." Bella said, "And you see, Miss Elsa and Mr. Cress, who have been busy with the opening lately, have piled up some of the clutter left over from the renovation on the attic, and almost blocked the entrance. Under normal circumstances, isn't it like someone who is unlikely to go up?"

"Bella is right." Elsa said, "If you don't need anything in particular, you don't run up the attic."

"Not only that, but if business is good, they are so busy, they don't have time to go up."

"Is that so?" Elena was still a little puzzled, "But how did they know that Miss Elsa's business would be good?"

Although business is really good.

"First of all, there is no doubt that Mr. Kress is very good at his work. However, if a new store opens, no one knows about it, and it will be difficult to have a business from the beginning, so Miss Elsa is advertised, right?" Bella continued, "However, the recent news of the robbery has taken up most of the front page, so Miss Elsa's ad can only be placed on the sideboard. In this case, the effect is not so good. But today we have seen that although the store is not overcrowded, the flow of customers has hardly stopped. And with so many guests, it is unlikely that they all rushed over in the morning as soon as they saw the newspaper. In other words, they found out from other sources, and they might even have been referred."

"Who would be so ......," Elena suddenly realized, "Could it be, the robbers helped to advertise it?"

"Hmm." Bella nodded, "Quite possibly."

"Is Miss Elsa lucky?"

"Well, I don't know." Bella replied, "However, I know that Mr. Kress is very good at his craft, and even without the help of the robbers, it won't be long before Miss Elsa's cake shop will be in full bloom."

"Ah, you've won a prize." Mr. Kress scratched his head with some embarrassment.

"Not too much." Miss Elsa said, "I think Mr. Kress will excel too!"

"Yes...... Really." Kress looked into Elsa's eyes with a slightly moved expression.

"It's getting late." Bella said, "We should go back too."

With that, she pulled Elena away.

"Bella," Elena couldn't help but ask again as she walked back, "Did you have anything else to say just now?"

"Huh? Gone?"

"Really?" Elena didn't believe it, "You must have noticed, didn't you?"

"Notice what?"

"It's Elsa and Cress! The relationship between the two of them seems to be unusual."

"yes, what did you find?"

"I don't know, but I always felt that Mr. Kress looked at Elsa a little ...... just now."

"What?"

"Now, do you think he's ......?"

"Don't you believe it?" Bella quipped.

"That being said, ...... Is it really possible?"

"Oh roar~!" Bella was noncommittal.

"Does Miss Elsa know?" Elena asked.

"I don't think she found out yet."

"Isn't that Mr. Cress...... Do you want to tell her?"

"Well," said Bella, "we won't bother."

"Huh?"

"We're just here for cake."
