The old man wasn't that old and was in good health, his steps agile as he went up and down the stairs.
He entered his study.
His study was never locked because this was his home. He was confident that none of his children or grandchildren would dare to rummage through his things in the study.
Besides, there were surveillance cameras installed in the corridor.
He entered the study and indeed, did not see his pocket watch on the desk.
"This…" The old man was stunned for a moment.
His mind was still sharp enough to generally recall where he last placed his things.
He clearly remembered placing the pocket watch on the left side of the desk in the morning, intending to put it in his pocket later.
Then he went downstairs and forgot about it.
It should be there.
If it wasn't, it should be in his drawer or room.
The pocket watch was very important, and the old man never placed it carelessly; this was a habit he had formed over the years.
