Greetings. Just a quick fix upon a very important oversight in a previous chapter. In Chapter 2-3, a piece of evidence was introduced, a newspaper article about the Sniffsonian. I had neglected to include this evidence piece in the Pre-Chapter 6: Recap and Evidence List. While fixing this, I also recognized that I had missed elaborating on key details about the museum's situation with the missing pieces. A quick summary of the section which I altered can be read below. The edited and added parts have been underlined for convenience. As we go, something catches my eye. There's a set of those old coin-operated newspaper boxes, and all of them have the same article on their front pages, an article with Sniffsonian in the title of it. On a whim, I drop a coin in one of them and take a copy. It may be relevant, so why not?
Maya turns around and looks at what I'm doing. "Huh... something caught your interest, Nick?"
Now that I'm holding the newspaper in my hand, I can see the full text of the article. "The Curious Case of Missing Sniffsonian Exhibits," I read aloud.
"Oh, hey, that's an article about this place! Is that today's paper?" she questions.
"Yes, it looks like it. This article is all about a lost painting that seemingly disappeared without a trace last week. It also says that there are rumors about other art pieces which have been taken off display, and how they may be lost as well."
"That's really strange," Maya remarks with her eyebrow raised, "You'd think the authorities would be involved with priceless art disappearing from a famous museum..."
"It says here that the curator has been trying to resolve the issue and has the police involved," I further, "but progress hasn't been made on finding any leads or anything. The Sniffsonian staff as a whole have been mostly quiet on the issue."
"Do they... just not care about their exhibits going missing...?" Maya questions with skepticism.
I read a little further into the article for more details. "It says here that the various organizations and patrons who have donated to the museum are really upset about it. Many of the pieces missing were privately owned and were only able to be displayed because of negotiations and deals with the museum. In the meantime, the museum has been offering monetary compensation to the donors of the missing pieces."
"What a weird thing to read about a museum," Maya shrugs, "How in the world do pieces just go missing, anyway?"
For some reason, I have an uneasy feeling in my gut. I'll definitely be taking this Sniffsonian Article with me in my evidence.
Er, well, in my pocket at least. I guess it's not really evidence if I'm not preparing for a trial, huh.
"Alibaba is asking if you think that newspaper is important," Maya narrates.
I shrug. "You never really know. It's related to this museum, so I figured it might be relevant.
"Well, anyway, let's get back to business. The line is going to get longer if we don't get in soon," Maya pushes.And, the Evidence List has been updated appropriately. I do apologize for any inconvenience, but having this piece of evidence was actually necessary to the coming chapters involving the actual trial. Hopefully this small fix will have everything up to speed. Thank you for your understanding.
