From around 1 pm to 5 pm, you attended the party of your friend. Because you are close to each other, she let you get her gold necklace in the jewelry box on the table in her room. You agreed to your friend’s request to get the necklace in her room. As you enter the room and open the jewelry box, you see nothing. Your friend calls the police to accuse you that you steal her gold necklace. How can you prove that you are innocent? Give your statements.
