Mystery 6

      "Looks like we have another case to solve." exclaimed Gogour. Gogour was the new police chief after Byspy's father, Chief Riglo retired.
  
       "What do we know?" asked Kelnak. "Well," started Gogour. "Mrs. Blipooh's house was broken into as she was on vacation. She was at the beach for a week, and then, when she came back, her front door was unlocked, and her gold necklace was gone. But the funny thing was that she had insuranced the necklace for over twice it's value."
  
        "Hmm...... I think we should question Mrs. Blipooh and the suspects." Kelnak suggested. "I agree." said Chief Gogour. Poohross popped in. "She's still waiting in the office." he told them. "Tell her to come in." commanded Kelnak.
   
          A few minutes later, they were all sitting at Gogour's desk. The suspects and Mrs. Blipooh were lined up in armchairs. Kelnak was standing nearby with Officer Zepioh.
   
          "Tell us what happened." said Gogour. "Well, I came into my house and found the front door unlocked. At first I just assumed I simply had forgotten to lock it. Then I went upstairs. I saw the cabnit swinging wide open, and the necklace was gone! So I raced downstairs and went straight to you."
    
           Then they interrogated the two suspects. The first, Mr. Loxooh, said, "I was in my garden planting flowers. I was on the opposite side of the house, so I didn't know anything." The other suspect, Poohlotso, said,  "I was inside reading, and I couldn't see or hear anything."
    
            Next, they went to Mrs. Blipooh's house. Kelnak had said he "was curious about how it looked."
    
            They went in. Kelnak, upon sighting the stairs, went straight up. None of them paused anywhere, so it was a quick search.
   
             "I don't have a clue on who did it, though I assume it was one of the suspects." Kelnak said as he swung his coat from the hook near Mrs. Blipooh's doorway.
    
             "No?" Gogour smiled. "I know exactly who did it."

WHO STOLE THE NECKLACE? HOW DID GOGOUR KNOW?

The master of the tides,
Circling the earth for eternity,
When the sun goes down,
The moon wakes up,
A glimmer of hope.
