                     Task 4. Make questions to the following answers.

                     They had been looking for the criminal for 6 months before they caught
                him.
                     Because the suspect had been hiding in different cities.
                     He was finally arrested in his summer house in Greece.
                     $100 million worth of precious stones were stolen.

                     He  had  somehow  opened  a  thick  steel  door  and  had  gone  through
                motion and heat sensors.
                     He had been trying to unseal hi-tech combination locks for 10 minutes
                before he opened the safe.
                     He left behind a half-eaten sandwich with DNA samples on it.
                     Because he wanted to befriend the bank staff.
                     He  acquired  a  key  to  the  bank’s  vault  and  stole  diamonds  worth  $28
                million.

                     No, they didn’t recover the jewels.
