One day at the British museum, the staff was changing the exhibition in the Egyptian Room. They started to move the things around in the room, and they realised that something was very wrong. Why was the coffin of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun so extremely heavy? They decided to open the coffin and check. The truth was horrible. There, lying in the coffin were three bodies of young workers, all dressed in orange.
The staff called the police immediately. When the police came, they checked the scene of the crime and found a note that was written in Egyptian hieroglyphs, and the Inspector already knew whom he should call to investigate this situation! Sherlock and Watson were called immediately!
Sherlock deciphered the note as saying “Good morning Mr. Holmes. It looks like you
need to find me. 87.663.” Sherlock was shocked but also thrilled. He returned
to 221b Baker Street and started brainstorming. What was the meaning of
these numbers? Was it a phone number? Was it a postal code? How could he
find this person?” He went into a deep trance for two hours and then he knew!
In London’s Chinatown, the dishes were numbered this way.
He took a taxi and went straight to Chinatown. He checked every single
restaurant and only in one of them did the numbers on the plates match.
When he ordered the food, the waiter said; “It did not take you long to find me,
Mr. Holmes. Follow me and I will show you something!”
Sherlock followed the waiter into the kitchen, and he saw something terrible.
The whole kitchen was full of dead bodies all in orange clothes and without
sleeves. “I wanted you to witness this, and you came here by yourself. What an
irony! Well I think orange suits you!” The waiter almost screamed with
terrible wild delight.
“You thought you could fool me! The great Sherlock Holmes!” Sherlock
answered. It turned out that he had a hidden camera in his hat, and the police
were following him the whole time. In an instant, the waiter-criminal was
handcuffed! And that was the end of the Egyptian Crime!
It was a normal day, and in a London school, the students were studying in
their classroom all morning. Then they went to lunch. After lunch, the students returned to their classroom, and they saw a horrible thing! Semir was dead! The police were called immediately. When the police arrived on the scene of the crime, they found footprints on the ground. They tried to
follow them, but it was very difficult. Finally, Sherlock Holmes, one of the most important detectives, was summoned.
Sherlock decided to interrogate every teacher and every student. Then he
went to the basement, and he found fingerprints! Apparently, none of the
students had seen the murder because all of the students were in the
lunchroom.
After one hour, four students came to Sherlock. These students
were: Lady Alicia, Ben, John and Mary. They were all tall and thin. They had
long black hair, and they wore black sunglasses. Lady Alicia stood up to speak, and she told Sherlock what she knew. They had heard the shot, and although they had been at the scene of the crime, they hadn’t seen the criminal. Lady Alicia had a lot of important things to tell Sherlock anyhow.
Afterwards, Sherlock went to Semir’s house, and he spoke with the parents of
the victim. After that, he spoke to the maths teacher. The maths teacher was a
bad man. He was very short and fat. The victim, Semir, had been very
intelligent, and perhaps the maths teacher was jealous. Sherlock could see
that he wasn’t always friendly with the students.
After about fifteen minutes, the police called Sherlock, and they told Sherlock that the footprints on the floor in the classroom were the footprints of the headmaster. Sherlock couldn’t understand it because the victim had died in the morning when the headmaster apparently hadn’t been at school yet.
The next morning, Sherlock went to the headmaster, but he wasn’t at school
yet! Sherlock called the police, and they told him that they should find the
headmaster fast because he could be a very big danger to other people. And then,
with sudden clarity, Sherlock understood the story!
The headmaster had had a secret relationship with the victim’s mother, and the victim Semir had found out the secret. Semir had gone to the wife of the headmaster, and he had told her
of the affair! So, the headmaster arrived early at school that fateful morning,
and he told Semir that because he had found out the secret, he had to die! The
headmaster took Semir to the basement, and he shot him! Afterwards, the
headmaster went to the classroom to make it look like suicide.
But Sherlock was too clever! Once again, he had solved the case! And that was the end of
the Murder in a London School.
Death in the Underground (Irene)It was a normal day in London, and everything was the same as any other day. When in the Underground, which went all the way to Notting Hill, a woman heard a strange noise. It was a shot! In fact, when she got out of the train, she saw a person who was dead! The blood was all over the place! The woman started to scream, and the other people in the Underground came to see the dead body too.
The lady called the police immediately, and as she spoke, she was crying because it was so terrible. The woman told the police everything, and soon they arrived on the scene of the crime. The police interrogated everyone, but no one had heard a shot and no one had seen anything suspicious. By that point, they had discovered the name of the victim, Mrs. John.
Because this was a special case, the police decided to call Sherlock and Watson. Sherlock arrived promptly and started to speak with all the people who had seen the body, but even for him, this case was very complicated from the beginning. Sherlock and Watson spoke with the police, and they asked questions like “What time did the shooting happened?”. The police said that the crime happened around 1 a.m. when there were hardly any people
around because it was so late.
Sherlock and Watson started to investigate the scene of crime when they immediately found a strand of hair! They put it in a very small bottle, and they went to their house on Baker Street. They went straight to bed because it had been a long day.
When they woke up at 8a.m., they started looking for the person who killed
Mrs. John in the Underground. They looked at the strand of hair with great
attention, and after a few days they finally discovered to whom it belonged!
The person’s name was Mr. Bell; so, they started to ask everybody if they
knew Mr. Bell, but no one knew him. Finally, a very short man said that
he knew him. He said that Mr. Bell was about 50-years-old and that he had a
moustache. Thanks to this information, Sherlock and Watson soon found Mr.
Bell’s house. Unfortunately, he wasn’t at home; so, the two investigators had to
wait for him behind a tree for two whole days!
When Mr. Bell arrived, they immediately caught him and took him to prison! Of course, he didn’t know that Sherlock and Watson were waiting for him behind the tree! Before he was put behind bars, they wanted to know why he had killed Mrs. John. So, Mr. Bell told them everything.
Some days before the murder Mr.Bell and Mrs. John had entered a challenge, and the loser had to give the other 1 million pounds! Bell was the loser, and he had to give the money to
Mrs. John. But of course, he didn’t want to, and on that terrible night, Mr. Bell
had killed her instead!
After hearing this story, Sherlock said, “It seems that you aren’t a very good killer, because a good killer wouldn’t leave a strand of hair on the floor!” And then Sherlock and Watson went back to Baker Street, maybe to make themselves a cup of tea!
That is the end of the story of the Murder in the Underground!
