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?

Mystery 5

  In the afternoons, Loka always played with Csaska, but today was different.

  "Tag-you're it!" Bigpaw said running away from Csaska. They were playing tag with Hortaga, Cocra, and Fistro. "Tag!-Whoa! What's that?" Hortaga exclaimed. Cocra rushed over. Then came Bigpaw and Csaska. Fistro was last.

  "Wow! A treasure chest!" exclaimed Cocra. "That's my ancient treasure box." Bigpaw said. "I have a hobby of collecting stuff. My friend Briggy is also a collector, so we collect stuff together. Briggy had a big shoebox and I had paints, so we made a treasure box for our collections. But then I remembered about my antique treasure chest so we used that instead. But since we had already made sections for the different collections in the shoebox, we put the shoebox in the treasure chest. It fit perfectly. And since it was double boxed, we made a secret compartment. See?" He opened the lid and put his finger into a hole on one side. The hole was hard to see because that side had a bubble design with lots of circles. Now the side slid down into the base of the chest, revealing a piece of string which Bigpaw pulled. One of the bubbles on the side, which was now on the bottom, slid away. Bigpaw poked his finger into the bubble and pulled his finger back out. Out came a metal combination lock which Bigpaw unlocked. Suddenly the box stretched out revealing several gold coins; the left half went left and the right half went right. "Wow. You're good at building secret compartments!" complimented Csaska. "Let's show it to Frooga, the building expert! She'll be amazed!"

  So, they went to Frooga. Csaska was right; Frooga was amazed. In fact she was so amazed that she decided to let Bigpaw join her building club. She told Bigpaw to leave the treasure chest on her desk while she took Bigpaw on a tour around her headquarters. Csaska went to the bathroom, Hortaga to the art room, Cocra to the office, and Fistro to the treasure room.

  But when they came back, the treasure chest was gone! "It had to be one of us-Fistro, Hortaga, Cocra, or me, because we were in other places and could come back to get it. Only we know the box has a secret compartment." Csaska suggested. "You are right, and I know who took it." answered Bigpaw.

                              WHO STOLE THE TREASURE CHEST?

Mystery 4

Can you solve the following mystery?

Every year, there is a truck race. The winner gets a brand new motorcycle.

One year, Hopoohga joined. She had brought a hot pink truck. "I was finally allowed to join. I was so exited that I kept looking at the clock. And, I looked so often! The first time I looked the clock showed 3:50, the second, 4:00, and now finally it's 4:10. "When she comes, trouble comes, and a robbery comes." Voproga whisped as Hopoohga walked away.

Sure enough, her truck was gone when she came back from signing autographs! But they had a clue. Someone saw a teenager with the words Jaguars on the back. "Oh! The Jaguars club!" Hopoohga cried. "They are Hoor, Vaca, Buar, and Sicla! Let's go to them. Maybe one of their alibis have a slip!"

So, they went.Buar said, "I was looking at a map. We're going on a trip to Austrailia next week." Hoor said, "I was at the barn. The cows needed milking. Every day, I always milk the cows at an exact time-3:30. Sicla said, "I was studying the stars. It's my homework." Vaca said, "I was playing on my wii. I'm allowed to play for 1 hour.

"Looks like all of their alibis are solid." Voproga said sadly. "No. One Jaguar made a slip." Hopoohga said smiling.


 Who was it, and what was his/her slip?

Mystery 3

On summer vacation, Nordes the bug expert would go out and go worm hunting. He always brought his ax handle along. It was the best stick for worm fiddling.

Once a year there was a worm invention contest. If you made a pill or magnet that brought up worms, you win a  pocket mirror for third prize, a wristwatch for second, and a camera for first.

This year, Vopooh participated. He had brought a box of dirt, a cup of water and a bottle of weird looking pills. He came up front and said, " I put 20 worms in this box. Now I will make them rise to the surface. " He took a pill and dropped it into the box. Then he poured water from the cup. After a while, a worm came up. Then a tangle of worms squirmed out from the dirt. "See? " Vopooh bragged. "Those pills are nothing!" shouted Nordes."I think you're cheating!"

How?

Mystery 2

Can you solve the following mystery?(If you want, you can join the mystery contest.) (You know how. If you forgot, look back at Mystery 1 and Mystery Contest 1)

Byspy Riglo was a detective bear. Wherever he went, criminals were caught. His dad (Chief Riglo) was a police. If a crime was left unsolved, he knew what to do. He would hurry home and alert his son. And every time, he came back with a solved case. Byspy always solved the case. Chief Riglo wanted his son's picture hanging in the national bear hero hall of of detectives, but what good would that do? Each time they would say: Prove it! But he could not. They would always say, "You told him the answers!" if he tried. So he kept it to himself and Mrs. Riglo, Byspy's mother.

One day he came back with a worried face. Byspy and his mother knew what that meant. It meant that Chief Riglo had a case he couldn't solve. "Tell Byspy." his mother urged. "He has never failed yet." So Chief Riglo gave Byspy one look and started. "Mrs. Iopooh says that yesterday night Poohdet stole her diamond ring. She says that he climbed up the fire escape and she saw Poohdet as he climbed back down. "How does she know that Poohdet stole her diamond ring?"Byspy asked. "Because," replied Cheif Riglo."she claims she saw the diamond ring on his finger as he pressed his hands on the window for a last look at her room."Chief Riglo added, "Can you prove that Mrs. Iopooh is lying? We police think that but we have no proof.""I can."answered Byspy smiling. "Because of one careless slip."

What was her slip?

One day, at the Bear Club all the bears studied about horses. Anipooh was very good at sketching a horse. Her horse looked like an artist had drawn it! Poohney said that horses must be her best her drawing that she had ever drawn, but then, suddenly she yelled, "Solve this code!" and she ran out the door. On her way out, she shrew a slip of paper over her shoulder. It had a code scribbled on it. The code read:
  1. L.E.A....... (licked, eaten, and......)
  2. H.C. rice(home cooked rice)
  3. I.M. swimming(one lap butterfly, one lap backstroke, one lap breaststroke, and one lap freestyle.)
