So what is Detective movie?

It was a beautiful morning in London and the summer sunshine was smiling warmly. Inside her house in Cambridge Street, private detective Simone Fox was enjoying the newspaper, when there was a knock on her front door. It was a senior British police officer.

Office: Good morning, Detective Fox. Here's my card.

Simone: Good morning, officer. Please come in. You look worried, officer. What's the problem, or is it a secret?

Officer: Oh, no. It concerns Professor Martin Green. He's lost something important. We think it was stolen.

Simone: Do you mean the Professor Martin Green, officer?

Officer: Yes, the famous scientist .

Simone: How interesting! What did he lose?

Officer: He's interested in Cambodian's ancient stone temples.

Simone: I don't see the connection.

Officer: Sorry. It's a rare liquid. He invented it to protect them. That's why he's attending a conference there.

Simone: But why should anyone want to steal the liquid?

Officer: It's so effective it can protect people against any danger as well as protect buildings against the forces of nature.

Simone: I see. If I'm to investigate this, I think we ought to ensure the cooperation of the Cambodian government.

Officer: We've already contacted them, although negotiations are providing to be a really complex process.

Simone: Why's that?

Officer: At first they thought you were a spy.

Simone: Well, spies and detectives are rather similar.

Officer: I think you ought to go now. You flight leaves in two hours. Here' your ticket. Good luck, Detective Fox.
