Others:
1.We’re going to have a gathering in the bar with Yenney in 6/20 or 6/27. James will ask Yenney and then decide the date.

***********************************************************************
Detective group: Carey, Sharon, Joyce, Wally

We discuss the questions below:
1.What time and which place did you meet?
2.What kind of activity did you have?
3.What kind of transportation did you use?
4.Why you have this gathering and who hold it?
5.After the gathering, where are you going to?
6.How’s your feeling about the gathering?
7.How about your economy situation?
8.What seat did you have in the restaurant?

After query, we guess James is the real thief, because he have different gathering time from others, but we failed. The real thief is Leo.
