YOU BE THE DETECTIVE !
GUILTY BY A FOOT
“Sorry
for all the noise, Inspector” Mr. Mistry said. The Inspector was surrounded by
whirring and grinding and clanking machines in Mr. Mistry’s wood working shop. His
students were all busy creating all kinds of wood art. Mr. Mistry said, “I suppose
you have heard about the robbery last night?” The Inspector replied, “Of course,
Yes. I am sorry. Any idea who took the money?” Mr. Mistry nodded. “The only time
the money was discussed was when my two partners came into the shop. It was so noisy and
no one could have heard our conversation” The Inspector questioned the students. The
first student replied, “No, I don’t know anything. I left after work” The
other students told the same basic story. The Inspector went to the last student in a row
who was busy working. “Excuse me” he began, but the student did not pay any heed
and continued with his job. Again the Inspector said in a louder tone but the main was
engrossed in his work. Finally, the Inspector shouted, “Excuse me, Mr.whatever –
You are under arrest”
How did the Inspector know he was the robber?
Answer When Mr. Mistry and his partners discussed money, it
was noisy and nobody can hear their talks. But, this student was deaf and could read their
lips and knew what they were saying! Moreover, when the Inspected called him, again he had
signs of withdrawal and did not hear his voice. |
