The police searched for Claudio for two days. The boy went on a tour and didn’t come back. They finally found him: someone had hit him on the head and left him lying in some bushes. Cláudio could only say: “friend…”, in a weak voice, and soon lost consciousness.

The agents had three suspects and all of them were friends of Claudio. Roberto said that he had spent the last few days at work, preparing for a conference.

João told detectives that he had sprained his ankle and was bedridden for four days.

Finally Bruno explained that he had been to New York on business. To prove it, the man even showed the police his boarding pass.

Julian has received a small note with several numbers, and he needs to find out which number is missing: it is the code of a safe with evidence inside. He needs her to solve the next case!

The vault is finally open! Inside it, Julian sees a folder with the case he needs to solve next.

Mr. Rodrigues, a wealthy businessman, disappeared from his room! But he managed to leave a note that said, “July 1st, June 2nd, December 1st, May 3rd.” The police interrogated the people who were in the house.

Judi, the wife of Mr. Rodrigues, said: “I am in shock! My husband was always so careful. Unfortunately, I don’t know anything. He was at my parents’ house.”

Logan, the secretary to Mr. Rodrigues, told police he was working on a report for his boss and had not left his office.

And Rose, the daughter of Mr. Rodrigues, replied: “I had guests. We didn’t leave my room.” The case remains unresolved. Can Julian solve it?

The next day, Julian had to interrogate Maria, a suspect in a complicated smuggling case. The young woman refused to speak. At some point, she yelled, “Right now I’ll dip my phone in this cup of coffee and you’ll never find out the truth!” But Julian was totally unconcerned by her threat. Because?

A shoeshine boy was accused of deceiving his customers by being forced to appear at the police station where Julian worked. The man shouted that he was an honest person. He cleaned people’s shoes for free: his customers paid willingly. But Julian quickly realized the trick the guy was using.

Once, Julian’s boss called his wife and told her he would be home at 8 o’clock sharp. The man arrived at his home at 8:05 am. But the woman was furious, despite the fact that they had no plans or were late for an event. The boss was confused. When he went to work the next day, he asked Julian to explain why his wife was so angry.

Julian was sent to patrol the streets. As he walked, he saw a strange image. A man came out of a house with two buckets of water, screamed and dropped the buckets, spilling everything on the floor. It took Julian a while to figure out why he did this.

Once, they robbed a bank. The police suspected that one of the security guards had helped the delinquents, and Julian had to interrogate three of them.

The first guard said he had heard screams and ran over there. But when he arrived, the criminals had already fled.

The second guard explained that he was drinking a cup of coffee and that he hadn’t heard anything.

And the third guard said that he had run after the thieves, but had to tie his shoelaces. Without thinking twice, he crouched near an emergency exit. At that same moment, the door opened and slammed into his head. When he came to, the criminals had fled. Julian immediately understood which guard was to blame.

A criminal escaped from a 46 meter tower. Someone helped him get some scissors and a rope. Julian discovered that the rope was only 23 meters long and that the criminal had cut it in half. Now our future detective needs to find out how this helped the man escape.

A new case for Julian! Martin bought a car in September and now, just a month later, the car has been stolen! The four suspects are friends of his. The crime took place at 10 pm on a Wednesday night. At that moment, Natalia was driving home from work. Roberto was walking his cat. Rosa was shopping for the week’s groceries, and Alan was playing badminton in the park. Who was behind the car theft?

An important document is missing and Julian needs to find it before his boss returns from vacation. The young man discovered that only three people could have taken the document. By the time the papers disappeared, Raul was in his office, analyzing a new case. Pedro was taking a shower before going to the gym, and Carla was on her firearms training. Who took the document?

Airport authorities suspected that a gold smuggler would catch a flight at their terminal. Julian was sent there to help. The subject was detained at customs, but even with so many attempts, the agents could not find anything that incriminates him in his suitcase, only some personal belongings: two pants, two t-shirts and some notebooks. So they had to let him go. But once he grabbed his briefcase and started to walk away, Julian realized the man had gold, yes. How did you come to that conclusion?

A man arrived at the police station and they sent Julian to speak with him, who claimed he had been sold a counterfeit coin. The salesman told him it was old and the man believed him. But when he got home, he realized he had been tricked. Julian only took one look at the coin and agreed with the victim. Because?

The dream has come true: Julian’s probation period is over and now he’s a real detective, thanks to you! Share this post with your friends so they too can put their neurons to work and improve their logical skills.
