A detective who was days away from catching an international criminal gang has suddenly disappeared. But he was smart enough to try to help the investigators in their search by leaving a clue. More specifically, a special code: 3F3J 73 53 7718.

The police have three main suspects: John, Bill and Adam.

A man was walking through the park, when suddenly someone hit him in the back of the head.

Witnesses said the culprit had brown hair, blue eyes and was wearing a baggy suit.

The prime suspect is Sean Baker, who fits the description perfectly. The police interrogate Sean, who tells what happened: “I was hanging out in the park and I saw this man walking along the trail! Suddenly, another guy jumped out of the bushes right in front of him and hit him! I ran home as fast as I could!”

The officers asked for a description of the attacker. He replied: “He had a red mustache, red hair and a baggy suit.” However, one of the investigators said that Sean was lying.

Amy and Carl were lying in bed at night when they heard strange noises in their daughter Stacy’s room. Amy went to look and carefully opened the door, but saw her teenage daughter fast asleep and the noise stopped.

The next night, the same thing happened again, and in the morning, Amy found a snakeskin under the girl’s bed. Alarmed, the family searched the entire house but could not find the animal. Even so, the sound continued every night.

Sally went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine for her grandmother. The pharmacist looked at the prescription and handed over four identical pills, two for blood pressure and two for the legs. She warned Sally that Granny should take one of each type a few hours before bed. The young woman nodded and put the pills in her bag.

When she got home, Sally realized she had done something wrong: there were four completely identical pills in her bag, all mixed up. But when it was time for Grandma to take her medication, Sally found a way out.

Sally’s grandmother (yes, the same one) got three hens that laid three eggs in three days. Upon hearing this, Sally thought it might be a good business to sell eggs. So she got 12 more chickens of the same type for her grandmother.

Sally is anxious about the profits (who wouldn’t be?), but she’s not very good at math and can’t figure out how many eggs the 15 hens will lay in 15 days.

Jack was thrown into a cell with a dirt floor and only one window installed so high that no one could reach it. The cell was empty except for a shovel. It was dry and warm inside, but Jack wouldn’t be getting food or drink any time soon. He only had two days to get out of his cell. Digging a tunnel would take at least a week.

On the first day of the school year, a geography teacher disappeared. The police had four suspects: the gardener, the math teacher, the coach and the school principal. But everyone had an alibi.

The gardener said he was cutting the weeds

The math teacher was giving a midterm test

The coach was selecting a new member for the basketball team.

The principal was in his office, meeting with the mother of one of the students.

A lonely old man lived in his house on the outskirts of a city. He led a quiet life and never left the house for long. It was a summer Friday when the postman came by and called out to the man. There was no response from inside the house.

The postman looked out the window and… oh no! He saw that the house was a complete mess and there was no sign of the owner! When the police arrived, they found a Tuesday newspaper, two bottles of warm milk and a bottle of cold milk. They caught the thief in the blink of an eye!

A famous chemist has disappeared. No evidence was found except a piece of paper with the names of some substances.

On the day of his disappearance, the chemist received only three visits: his wife, Mary; that of his nephew Nicolás; and that of your friend Jonathan. The police looked at the note and arrested the culprit on the spot!

A city was going through a difficult phase. Its schools, its hotels and public transport were out of order due to a strike that had lasted for several weeks. One night, someone hit the mayor of the city on the head. The man was not seriously injured but was taken to a hospital and police arrested three suspects.

Brandon said he was walking down the street when he heard someone scream, but it was very dark and he couldn’t see anything.

John confirmed that he too had heard a cry for help but was too scared to go see it.

Dylan claimed he was waiting for a bus at a stop and had heard nothing.
