After discovering a note in the study and another tucked into the sofa in the living room, joy filled James Black's eyes.
He glanced at his watch and then stood in the living room, pulling out his mobile phone to call Jane Sampson.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up; James guessed she must be on her way home.
As soon as the call connected, before Jane Sampson could speak, James took the initiative.
"I see you took my precious card in your purse out for a meal, how long until you bring it back to me?" he asked.
The person on the phone didn't reply, but because it was quiet at home, he could hear her breathing through the phone.
James waited a few seconds, just when he thought Jane would continue to pretend she didn't hear him, her voice suddenly came through the phone.
"Why don't you come to the riverside yourself to pick up your treasure? If you don't come, I'll throw it into the river to feed the fish."
