AsYouWish An old man lived in his house in the suburb of a city. He never left the house for long. It was a midsummer Friday when the mailman walked by & called for the man. There was no answer. The mailman looked in the window and saw him in a pool of blood. When the policeman arrived, he found Tuesday‘s paper, 2 bottles of warm milk and 1 bottle of cold milk. The next day, the killer was arrested. How did the police find out who did it so quickly? 4y
AsYouWish The killer was the math teacher. According to his words, he was holding a MID YEAR test, but the crime happened on the FIRST DAY of school. 4y
Patchshank I like Watson. He's a good friend and so patient with Holmes. He makes sure Holmes tries to take care of himself, but isn't afraid to knock him down a peg when he gets too full of himself. Was it the newspaper person on Tuesday because the newspapers stopped being delivered after Tuesday? 4y

AsYouWish @Patchshank Not quite, but I will accept it. (edited) 4y
bibliobliss Right now, I'd have to say I like Watson a tad more than Sherlock, but only by a hair. I think Watson's uncanny insight into Sherlock's character, genius, and eccentricities are quite humorous and entertaining. But I also love Sherlock in his own right. They complement each other wonderfully. 4y
Butterfinger The milk man. He left a cold bottle without alerting anyone. These are fun. 4y
AsYouWish @Butterfinger Good guess, but nope. 4y
Butterfinger The newspaper man because he stopped delivery. I had to get the whole family involved. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 4y
AsYouWish @Butterfinger Not quite, but I will accept it. 4y
Butterfinger One more time - the newspaper man must have been the last person to have seen him alive because the old man had Tuesday's paper and he rarely goes outside. 4y
AsYouWish @Butterfinger This one is tricky, so I am accepting two answers this time. You got one of them. So I will say you got it. 4y
SconsinBookyBadger The milkman? There were 2 warm bottles and one cold. 4y
AsYouWish @AnansiGirl Good guess, but no. 4y

AsYouWish  On the first day of the school year, a geography teacher was murdered. The police had 4 suspects: the gardener, the math teacher, the coach, and the school principal. They all had alibis:
The gardener was cutting bushes.
The math teacher was holding a mid-year test.
The coach was playing basketball.
The principal was in his office.
The killer was arrested immediately. Who killed the geography teacher, and how did the police solve the mystery?
4y
AsYouWish Week One Answer: The police were sure that Mrs. Smith lied to them because the window was broken from the inside. If it was broken from the outside, little pieces of glass would be on the room‘s floor. 4y

Thank you @Sarah83 for my #ConanDoyleSwap box! I love everything - the books will be a great edition to my library & the pocket sized book is adorable. The magnetic bookmarks are my faves, and I love the Sherlock one. I can‘t wait to use the brass seal & wax. Everything is perfect! And the card is beautiful - I‘m going to frame it. ❤️
