I guess there's no rest for reporter Tintin.

Warning: Spoilers
After Castafiore's emerald goes missing, the Thompsons are called upon to investigate, which after questioning the likes of some suspects, involving Castafiore's entourage, Calculus and Nester the butler. They eventually come to the inclusion that it was the gypsies, after discovering an item that one Castafiore's entourage lost. Though Tintin (as usual) comes to their aid and eventually figures out all the unusual happenings that have plagued the Marlinspike estate. During Tintin's investigation, Castafiore has left for business purposes.
Herge's "The Castle Emerald" was the twenty-first in the series of "The Adventures of Tintin" comic-strip albums and the eighth episode (part 2 of 2) of season three. The second half of the story really pulls out the red herrings and does so in many productive bluffs. You're never quite sure how it's going to unfold and when the final revelation is revealed, you can't help but feel kinda cheated, but it's fitting with the overall content involving that of some sort of reputation leading someone on. The elaborated comical factor seems to stream off the misunderstandings that crackle in this script. This is all about the characters and their jilted interactions with each other, which lead to all of this trouble. The way the bungling Thompsons go about their investigation is incompetently a riot, especially their rib-tickling questioning of some "supposed suspects". Calculus manages to strike up another one of his inventions, which actually makes for an incredibly trippy experience involving a coloured TV. Unique, but talk about bizarre. If you're want a break from the adventures, look no further than "The Castafiore Emerald", which has a touch of mystery involving some of the main characters. A nicely rejuvenating treat of the series.
