WINTER MURDER

Chapter 1

On a cold winter night a wealthy man gets an unecspected visit. Later that night, the man was murdered. His name was mr. chrysler. Mr. chrysler used to be a pick pocket. He had a companion called Slick. Then mr. chrysler went on to be a magician. But Slick was very angry with mr. chrysler, because he couldn’t be a pick pocket. When mr. chrysler left to be a magician, he teamed up with another magician, Ace. Ace did lots of card tricks, so he was called Ace. The two were huge. Then mr. chrysler met his wife, Sarah. Mr. chrysler fell in love with Sarah, who was an escape artist. Ace had a big reason to kill mr. chrysler. Then he joined Sarah and became an escape artist. They were also spectacular. Then mr. chrysler left Sarah and retired. Slick became a locksmith. After mr. Chrysler retired his mail man tried to rob him. Mr. chrysler did notice but didn’t tell anyone. But he did black mail him. Mr. chryslers agent called in all of these suspects. The agent was Avery, Paul Avery. He was a little short and knew every thing about mr. Chrysler, and always dressed nicely. Paul called in a skandinavian detective, Jesnen. Jensen had a deep voice, and was fairly tall. He had sovled many other cases in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland. But not much in Finland. He always wore a cloke, like sherlock holmes.


Chapter 2



 They looked around for clues. The man was stabbed, but where was the weapon? Then Jensen and Avery talked to the suspects, one at a time. Slick was first. ”you have been named a suspect” said Jensen.” for killng mr. Chrysler. ”why me?” asked slick.”because he was your friend, until he abbandonned you amd you went to jail” said Avery. ”I wouldn’t kill my best friend” said slick with an angry voice. ”he used to be your best friend” said Avery sharply. ”we havent seen eachother in years” said Slick, ”I wont taket he blame for this because I didn’t do it”.” are you sure?”asked Jensen mystyriously. Ace was next.”hello Ace” said Avery as he sat down. ”what am I here for?” asked Ace and demanded an answer.”you are a suspect of mr. Chryslers death” said Jensen. ”you thin I killed him?”. ”how dare you think that?” said Ace. ”all though he did have an affair with your wife” said Avery. ”that doesn’t matter” said Ace frustrated. He didn’t like the fact that Avery brought that up. ”alright, next” said Jensen. Sarah was next. ”hello Sarah”. ”whats up, Avery”. ”you’re a suspect for the death of mr. Chrysler” said jensen. ”is this a joke?” said sarah. ”no, this is not a joke at all” said Jensen. ”well, I didn’t do it, are there any other suspects?” asked Sarah. ”Ace, Slick and mr. Chryslers mail man. ” what did he do?” asked Sarah. Mr. Chrysler black mailed him. ”well isnt it obvious? The mail man”. ”its not that easy, Sarah” said Avery. ”you may go now” said Jensen. Sarah left. Days went by and the code wasn’t cracked. But Jensen had a theory. He called Avery and said to meet up at Marbles CafĂ©. Jensen started to talk. ” I think it might be someone else who did it”. ”who?” asked Avery. ” maybe someone who know show wealthy he was, don’t you think?”. Avery looked like he didn’t know what Jensen was aiming at. Then avery said histaricly ”what?, you think I did it?


Chapter 3

There was only one person left to interview, the mail man. He came in looking worried. Jensen spoke up, ”mr. Peterson, you are a suspect for killing mr. Chrysler”. ”excuse me?” said the mail man. ”you were being black mailed by him werent you? Said Avery cleverly. ”yes” said mr. Peterson knowing very well that he had been black mailed. ”now, we were wondering if you would admitt that you did it” said Avery. ” no, no. I would never do that”. But another one of the suspects said it was you” said Avery. ”no, i promise”. ”alright, but youre still on the line” said Avery. The mail man left with a million thoughts in his head. Jensen and Avery talked and thought maybe Sarah was right, maybe it was the mail man. But Jensen knew Avery wanted the money. So without telling Avery, Jensen made a phone call to the police. ”hello” said the man on the other end of the phone call.

Chapter 4

The next day Avery got an unexpected visit, from the police. They out him in handcuffs and took him away.”see you in court Avery” said Jensen. Avery had to spend two nights in the slammer. Then it was time, Avery vs. Jensen. They both were ready to challenge.  They walked into a cold, large room. Avery wasnt quite ready, but luckily he had a lawyer, and he was a good lawyer. Avery was planning on acusing the mail man, but Jensen was first to talk, as usual. ”i pledgethat Paul Avery should be blamed for murdering mr. Chrysler”. Avery started to sweat. After Jensen made his statement Avery started to speak. ” i believe that mr. Jensen had the wrong suspect”. ”Avery, who else could have done it?” said jensen and then chukled. ”i thought that you would get to the bottom of this, instead of taking the easy way out” shouted Avery. The whole court gasped. ”Oh, i got to the bottom of this” said Jensen. ”and i know who did it. Guards, bring him in!”. and in stepped the mail man. ”Avery didnt do it. We just needed more tome to investigate”. ”i didnt do it!” yelled the mail man. The judge was very confused. ”what is going on?”asked the judge angry like he was a sheriff. The judge was very strict when it came to noise in the court. ”you dont have proof!” yelled the mail man. ”yes we do” said Jensen.


Chapter 5

”Proof?, what proof?” asked the mail man. ”just you wait” said Jensen, ”see you tomorrow”. Jensen left for his hotell, thinking of who could have done it. Then it hit him. He tossed and turned all night of excitement, but finally figured it out. The next day Jensen put on his suit, put on his watch, and made som calls.then he drove to city hall. In the court room he saw Avery, Slick, Ace, Sarah and the mail man. ”ah” said the judge, ”there you are”. ”yes, and all of these people are suspects”. ”yes” said the judge. ”why id you call us in?” asked Ace.”i called you in to tell you who killed mr. Chrysler. ”i bet it was the mail man” said sarah. ”hey!” yelled the mail man. Though the mail man was black mailed. ”he didnt do it” said Jensen. The court gasped again. It wasnt easy to figure out who did because jensen made it seem like they were back to square one. Time flew by in court and soon enough they were out of time. They all went out in shock. Jensen slept soundly. Avery was the one who tossed and turned that night, and all the other suspects were scared, except the mail man. Then the last day of the trial everyone was well dressed. Even the judge was well dressed. The suspects sat down next to each other, but Avery insisted on standing. He and Jensen had planned on pretending to acuse Avery, but now Avery couldnt trust anyone.


Chapter 6

Today Jensen was first to arrive. Avery was last. Then the judge called up Jensen. ”mr. Jensen, we expect that you have discovered who is responsible for the death of mr. Chrysler”. ”yes” said Jensen ”i know”. ”and it was…” said the judge. ”it was, all of them!, except the mail man”. ”huh?” said Slick. ”yes. You all had reasons to hate mr. Chrysler and wanted revenge. And you also knew that he was wealthy enough to get slick off the jail record, get Ace out of debt, get Sarah a big house, and Avery, always having to lock the safe filled with lots of green dollar bills. You wanted to frame the rest of them didnt you!”. Guards, taket them away” said the judge. Then Jensen said ”case closed”.

I loved your book Jet! I love the character names you came up with like Ace & Slick & Mr. Chrysler. You are good at dialogue too, it's hard switching between a lot of characters like that! How long did it take you to write this? Very impressive!
