Malling as the night guard, Ms. Magda Grayne as the
young lady, and Mr. Reeder as the clever detective/public
prosecutor. Green, a bank manager, was arrested on
suspicion of robbery. After an investigation by the police,

and ordered Green and his daughter Magda as additional
roles. Constable Burnett who is good at writing poetry often
sends love letters to Magda, helping Reedeer to find out the

there isn’t any character who sacrificed himself for other
people/kindness.
• The prediction about the traitor was right, the bank guard is
the main villain too and he already planned this event long
ago.
• The prediction about how the main character solves the
problem was right, the detective/ public prosecutor solves
 the problem by searching for evidence and analyzing the
environment
