The Assassin
That night, the wife of President Lincoln rushed over to inspector John who was enjoying his evening cigar at the time. Out of breath, she explained that President Lincoln had been shot and she desperately needed his help. Inspector John paused momentarily before agreeing to take on the case.

Murder on the HMS Bristol
The sky was clear and the circular form of the full moon stood out clearly, I stood enjoying the sea breeze, the wind whistling through my hair. David Thorne came rushing in.
“There has been a murder!” he gasped, for he had clearly run a great distance to inform me of the news. I followed him, not knowing what sight would greet me. We finally found the room which I noticed was room 235. When I entered I found inspector Jones standing before a bed, in it lay a woman who had clearly been asleep at the time, lying in the bed, the white sheets were clouded with splatters of blood. The body had clearly been stabbed for there was a huge gash in the skin above the windpipe; she had clearly fallen asleep and never woke up. The wound would kill her instantly.

The Missing Portrait
The manager of a History Museum was looking around to make sure everything was OK and nothing was broken or anything like that, but then, he noticed that something terrible had happened! Where there was supposed to be a really important Portrait of Henry VIII, there was smashed glass! Also, the portrait had disappeared! Who had done it? It looked like a job for the nearest Detective, David Dyson, he was a rather young Detective, and he was only 17 actually! He had very dark hair and dark blue eyes.
