a mysterious letter hidden under the floorboards. I wonder what is inside of it I kept think of the mystery of the letter I opened it and there
was a note and it said something it said a name I wondered and did a investigation of this name and found he was arrested for 2 murders and the more I investigation him and intrigue got to me and I I went to him in jail and I talked to and I made a shocking discovery he knows who did this and gave out some names and clues that might be the suspect hat we need I put all the pieces together and a trying to solve the case I hired another detective to help because it was a hard problem but at the end we solved who put that letter and solved him
When I saw the first letter I already knew where to start, there is a cat statue that has letters on it G, H, I, L, and A I think I have to put them in order I found the second letter in the bookshelves, I had G and H next is I, L, and A. one was on the floor? and one was wedged in the crack of a wall. Lastly one was inside a book. I put the code into the cat and it led to a secret tunnel!? It had lots of money and gold even a swimming pool. But, weirdly there was a servant who said, ” We have been expecting you.”
Imagine being Detective Riley, called to investigate a baffling case in an old mansion. You discover the first clue—a mysterious letter hidden under the floorboards. How do you proceed to solve the mystery? First I start an investigation on the hidden letter, see for any more clues. When I was looking at it I heard a loud bang on the door, I ran to go see it and I opened the door and…No one was there, I went to go check around some more, this house is a mystery, anyways on the letter it said “If your reading this, I am hiding in the mansion because someone was out there but I’m pretty sure they left but still I am hiding.” From that evidence I knew I had to find this suspect, so I went and was shouting for him, “hello, is anyone there?” No answer, so I still went looking around to different rooms, it’s like the mansion was so old there is grass or long vines everywhere, who knows what happened here. I made a discovery in the case I found a hidden room and i’m going to check if he is in there, I had my flashlight so I could see better and there he was, I just found the guy who was hiding, he seemed really paranoid or just hungry but we took care of him and left that mansion. Another detective said “Nice work detective, don’t know how you figured that out.”

I pick up the mysterious letter I discovered beneath the floor boards and proceed to carefully open the letter. I open it and immediately my eyes begin to read the last row before I can read the last sentence a gust of wind blows the letter out of my hands. I chase after the letter and it slowly falls to the floor landing on an X marked on the floor, I pick up the letter and move the board where the X is marked I find a chained up chest with a giant key hole I pick it up and place it in my car I search for any more clues around the house and found nothing so I head back to the station.
Imagine being Detective Riley, called to investigate a baffling case in an old mansion. You discover the first clue—a mysterious letter hidden under the floorboards. I had locked down the entire place just to try and find the suspect. I had only 1 clue so I had to make it could I made everybody right these exact words, “I have murdered somebody here and I have taken the body, YOU WILL NEVER FIND HIM”. Then I was trying to figure out who had the same hand writing, and nobody had the same handwriting. I had everybody put their full name just in case I needed more information from them. I had found even more evidence it was a trail of blood but I am thinking it’s a decoy and making me try to cut it open and find a fake body. I had to find a way to solve the mysterious person. I had a black light for more evidence like hand prints but I didn’t expect the whole place to be covered. I had ended the day with only 2 clues so I handed the case to a more professional.
I spotted a mysterious letter in the floorboards. I suspected that this might be evidence to my case since I am Detective Riley. I looked around the abandoned mansion for further clues. The letter had coordinates that I decided to go to. I stepped into the backyard and went to the exact coordinates. I then dug with my rusty shovel. I ended up finding some pretty intriguing evidence. I found the murder weapon and some contact info on the suspect. I knew I was going to solve this case by now.
