De missie: Jouw verhaal in Florence

Last night, the alarm at the Uffizi Museum rang out. When the museum director arrived on the scene, she noticed a gap in the wall of one of the rooms: a painting had been stolen! 

It was a painting belonging to the Medici family. She picked up the phone and called the police. The captain puts you in charge of the investigation. 

That afternoon, you and your assistant travel to Florence. After talking to the museum director, you begin your investigation.
