A safecracking Job

Asafecracking job.

In the kitchen Mrs. White was cleaning the cabinets and saw that someone had smashed a safe with a heavy weapon. She called Mr. Boddy over. When he saw it he thought. Oh no! Someone has smashed my safe! Mr. Boddy knew that he should have gotten a better safe. This one was wooden with no combination. Mr. Boddy looked at the shattered pieces of his safe. Professor Plum and entered the room. “What’s going on?” he said. “Someone smashed my safe!” Cried Mr. Boddy weeping. Well said Professor Plum I think I did see someone in here earlier. “Who was it” cried Mr. Boddy. “I don’t remember” said Plum. “But I do remember that they were carrying something gray or silver”. “Well” said Mr. Boddy “I am going to get to the bottom of this!” Mr. Boddy called all of his guests into the Dining Room. All right he said. “One of you smashed my safe with a weapon and stole some gems inside!” “Discard your weapons,” he ordered!

The guests obeyed him. It turned out that each guest had a weapon. Mr. Green had the Revolver. Miss Scarlet had the Rope. Colonel Mustard had the Wrench. Professor Plum had the Candlestick. Mrs. White had the Lead Pipe. And last, Mrs. Peacock had the Knife. Now said Mr. Boddy, if any has an alibi, tell me it. I have one said Mrs. Peacock. “I was playing a game with Mr. Green and Miss Scarlet at the time”. “That’s true said Miss Scarlet”. Okay said Mr. Boddy, I believe you, I still have 3 suspects: Professor Plum, Mrs. White and Colonel Mustard. “Any more alibis Mr. Boddy told his guests”. “I did see Mrs. White in the Ball Room when I heard a smashing sound coming from the kitchen” said Miss Scarlet. “Me too” said Mr. Green. “Also” said Miss Scarlet “I know that Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, and Mrs. White were the only people the kitchen today”. “I have the information I need” said Mr. Boddy, I know who did it.

WHO SMASHED THE SAFE?

SOLUTION:

COLONEL MUSTARD in the KITCHEN with the WRENCH

Mrs. Peacock’s alibi removes Miss Scarlet and Mr. Green and herself from the crime. Miss Scarlet and Mr. Green saw Mrs. White outside of the kitchen at the time of the theft. Professor Plum saw the thief with something silver/gray. That leaves Colonel Mustard. Unfortunately for him he did not get away with his theft. Boddy found the gems inside his coat! After that Mr. Boddy made him pay for a new and secure safe.
