1. The sound of a heavy gunshot startled a neighborhood at exactly 8:00 pm. 15 minutes later, the police arrived and found a man lying dead in his own garage. Nobody in that neighborhood seemed to know what was going on. And the surveillance camera didn’t have any record of someone entering or leaving the house of the deceased. The police started knocking on doors of buildings around that neighborhood, but after visiting three neighbors, they knew who the killer was. Here’s the police question and their responses.
The Police: Your neighbor Mr. Nathan was shot dead this evening in his house. Do you have any information that can help us find the killer?
Neighbour A; Mr. Nathan was a really good guy. I’m sorry, the last time I saw him was yesterday, I don’t really have any clue about his death.
Neighbour B: Nathan was such a nice person to have been murdered in his own garage, I wish they were something I could do to help you find the killer.
Neighbour C: The news came as a great shock to us as a family, he was fond of my little boy, if I hear anything, I will give you a call.

2. A college has suffered a homicide for more than 3 months, every week, a female dead body will be found in the school environment. The police have had to investigate this case, but were unable to discover the killer. Yet the killing did not stop.
Karen, the daughter of the Mayor had recently lost a friend, since the demise of her friend she had felt lonely because the friend was the only person who comforts her anytime she goes through an asthma exacerbation. When her friend was declared dead, she called her father, and immediately, the father informed law enforcement. In no time, a detective was assigned to investigate the case.
The Detective did his findings, and all the clues led him to the home of one of the school’s brilliant, innocent-looking lecturers who had recently gotten married. The couple appeared truly innocent, and after a series of interrogations, the detective could not pin them down with any evidence.
He arrested them anyway and detained them for some days to see if the killing will continue. If that happens, it will automatically mean they have the wrong suspects. Two days later, the detective got a call that Karen had been murdered. The news made the detective surer that he had the true killers, Why?
3. Two girls were declared missing and were reportedly said to have entered the woods close to a small town in Los Angeles. Student security was sent to find out what happened to these students, but on accessing the woods for clues, he dabbled into the hands of the same kidnappers and was abducted as well. His phone was tripped off, nobody was able to reach his line, just like those other girls.
A special detective was brought into this case and was mobilized to investigate the situation. On day five of his investigation, the detective went straight to that location unarmed but was kidnapped as well. 20 minutes after his kidnapping, a convoy of police vans drove straight to the exact camp of those kidnappers, engaged in a gunfight with them, wounded a few, arrested most of them, and freed all the hostages. How did these cops discover their hiding place?
4. A lady called 911 and reported that she had just been kidnapped by her ex-convict husband. Some units moved straight to her house and found their 2-year-old daughter alone in the house, and heavily injured.
