Mystery story 1: Class Day

“I shall tell you,” Fordney said to his class some years ago, of an exploit of the famed scientist, Sir Joshua Beckwith, Professor of Egyptology in London.

“He had uncovered an ancient tomb in Egypt and, through his un disputed knowledge and ability to read hieroglyphics, had definitely established the date of the birth and the reign of a great Pharaoh whose mummy he had discovered. A man of volatile temper, and emphatic scientific views which he did not hesitate to express in exposing charlatanism, he had many enemies.

“The British Museum soon received a message, signed by Sir Joshua, which in part read as follows:' Have discovered the tomb of an important Pharaoh who reigned from 1410 to 1428 B.C. and who died at the age of 42 years, leaving two sons and two daughters. Great wealth found in sarcophagus. One of his sons died shortly after his reign began, etc...'

“The museum officials at first were astonished," continued Fordney,” but examination of the communication quickly told them it was either a very stupid fake o r an attempt at a …practical joke' ! “They were right in their belief that the message did not come from Sir Joshua Beckwith. He did make a most important discovery----but how did the Museum authorities know the communication was not authentic?"

How did they know? Do you know?

Mystery story 2: Ruth's Birthday

A multitude of small accidents had delayed Ruth Mundy. The battery in her car had gone dead and she had to call cab; she had mislaid the key to the strong box! Just as the taxi pulled up she located it. Hastily snatching from the dresser drawer two twenty-dollar bills, one old and crumpled, one crisp and new, she thrust them loosely into her bag. In her hurry, the perfume bottle on the dresser upset, spilling perfume on her lovely moiré purse! If t his kept up she?d be late for her birthday party! Now, where was that book she was to return? She was sure she had just put it on the dresser! Finally locating it under her coat on the bed, she grabbed it and ran.

Once in the taxi she opened her bag and fumbled for her vanity case. Its clasp opened and she stuck her finger in the paste rouge (口红). Another casualty! Well, it didn?t get on anything else, that was one break. Removing all traces of the rouge with her handkerchief, she threw it away.

Arriving at the Mayflower Hotel she handed the driver a bill. While she waited for her change Professor Fordney alighted from(从……下来)his car and greeted her with a “Hello, Ruth.”Acknowledging the greeting she turned to the driver. “You?ve made a mistake. This is change for five.

I gave you a twenty.”

“Oh no, lady! You gave me five dollars!”

Fordney listened amused while Ruth excitedly proved she?d given the driver a twenty-dollar bill. “How?s that, Professor?” she laughed.

How did Ruth prove her story?

Mystery story 3: The Ex-wife Murder

“Who shot her?” cried Rogers as he rushed into the hospital three minutes after his ex-wife died from a bullet through her head.

“Just a minute,” Professor Fordney said. “I?d like to ask you a few questions… routine, you kno w.

Although divorced for the past six months, you have been living in the same house with your ex-wife, have you got?”

“That?s right.”

“Had you trouble recently?”

“Well… yesterday when I told her I was going to a business trip, she threatened suicide. In fact, I grabbed a bottle of iodine from her as she was about to drink it. When I left last evening at seven, however, telling her I was spending the night with friends in Sewickley, she made no objections. Returning to town this afternoon,” he continued, “ I called my home and the maid answered.”

“Just what did she say?”

“ …Oh, Mr. Rogers, they took poor mistress to St. Anne?s hospital about half an hour ago. Please hurry to her!? She was crying so I couldn?t get anything else out of her; then I hurried here. Where is she?”“The nurse here will direct you,” responded the Professor.

“A queer case is this, Joe,” said Inspector Kelley who had been listened to the conversation. “These moderns are a little too much for me! A man and woman living together after being divorced six months!”

“A queer case, indeed, Jim,” sighed Fordney. “You?d better detain Rogers. If he didn?t shoot her himself, I?m confident he knows who did.”

Why did the Professor advise the Inspector to detain Rogers?

Mystery story 4: Case #463

At 8:10 P.M., July 4, 1945, Miss Ruby Marshall left her apartment on the fifth floor of the Hotel Oakwood. As she walked toward the elevator she passed Jane McGuire. The fourteen-year-old child had her Scottish terrier on a long leash and as they came opposite each other the dog growled and leaped at Miss Marshall. The woman screamed and ran back to her apartment.

Thirty minutes later Mrs. McGuire had a call from police headquarters informing her that Miss Marshall had received first aid at Mercy Hospital for a wound on the knee where the McGuire dog had bitten her. Invalided for the past two years, Mrs. McGuire was unable to look into the situation herself. She immediately called her friend, Professor Fordney, informing him of the above and asking him to look into the matter.

He found Miss Marshall sitting on a chair in the emergency ward, about to leave the hospital. Receiving permission to examine the wound from the doctor who had just taken care of her, Fordney raised Miss Marshall?s immaculate evening dress, noticed her hose were rolled below her knees, removed the bandage and found cauterized marks on the right knee cap. Tuning to the physician he inquired, “Are you sure those are teeth marks?”

“Why…they look like it to me!”

Lowering the woman?s dress, the Professor told her, “Y ou certainly didn?t show much intelligence in trying to frame this charge against Mrs. McGuire, toward whom you hold a personal grudge. Her dog did not bite you!”

HOW DID HE KNOW?

Mystery story 6: Death in the Mountains

While hunting in the Adirondacks, Fordney was informed of a tragedy at one of the camps. Thinking he might be of some help, he went over and introduced himself and was told of the accident by Wylie,

the victim?s companion.

“When Moore hadn?t returned to camp at nine o?clock last night, I was a bit worried, because he didn?t know these mountains. There wasn?t a star out and it was dark and moonless, so I decided to look around for him. We?re five miles from anyone, you know.”

“Putting more wood on the fire, I set out. After searching for an hour I was coming up the slope of a ravine when I saw a pair of eyes shining at me.

“Calling twice, and getting no answer, I fired, thinking it was a mountain lion. Imagine my horror when I reach the spot, struck a match, and saw I had nearly blown of Moore?s head. A terrible experience!“I carried him back to camp and then walked to the nearest house to report the accident.”

“How far from camp did you find him?”

“About a quarter of a mile.”

“How did you manage to shoot with your right hand bandaged?”

“Oh—I use either hand.”

“Mind if I look at the gun?”

“Not at all.” Wylie hand ed it over.

“H?mmmm. European make. Had it long?”

“No. It?s rather new.”

“Why did you deliberately murder Moore?” Fordney abruptly demanded, “For that?s what you did!”HOW DID HE KNOW?

Mystery story 7: Death on Dauntless

During a lull in the storm which had tossed and rocked the sturdy little steamer "Dauntless," a shot rang out on "A" deck.

Professor Gorakski threw down the detective story he was trying somewhat unsuccessfully to read and hastened into the companionway where, as it turned at the far corner, he found Steward Munzer bending over the body of a man who had been instantly killed. Just then the heavens opened; lightning flashed and thunder boomed as if in ghoulish mockery.

The dead man's head bore powder burns. Captain Kinnard and the criminologist started checking the whereabouts of everyone aboard, beginning with those passengers nearest where the body was discovered.

The first questioned was Don Theobald, who said he was just completing a letter in his cabin when he heard the shot.

"May I see it?" Kinnard asked.

Looking over the captain's shoulder Gorakski saw the small precise handwriting, on the ship's stationery, was apparently addressed to a woman.

The next cabin was occupied by Miss Sheila Bisenius. On being questioned regarding what she was doing at the time, Miss Bisenius became excited and nervous, stating she had become so frightened of the storm she had gone (about 15 minutes before the shot was fired) to the cabin of her fiancé, Roger Collins, directly opposite. The latter corroborated her statement, saying they hadn't rushed into the passageway because it would have looked compromising were they seen emerging together at that hour. Gorakski noticed a dark red stain on Collins' dressing gown.

The rest of the passengers' and crew's whereabouts were satisfactorily checked.

WHOM DID CAPTAIN KINNARD HOLD ON SUSPICION? WHY?

金题精讲 题一: 画手 ①国画大师莫教授带有两个学生,男的叫朱孟,女的叫滕香。女的伶俐乖巧,男的敦厚沉稳,两个人莫教授都喜欢,可相比滕香的灵活机巧,莫教授更喜欢朱孟的刻苦踏实。 ②莫大师最擅长人物画。人物最难画手,最传神是眼睛。手要画好,非下苦功不行,眼要传神,需有灵气。画人物眼睛,滕香有先天优势,远胜朱孟;画手,滕香竟不如朱孟十分之一。 ③莫教授常指着滕香画中人物的手批评她,要她多向朱孟学,要下苦功。滕香这时就会不满地白朱孟一眼,朱孟却浑然不觉。 ④滕香知道自己根本无法跟朱孟学,她缺少他那份勤奋。朱孟的全部生活都在画室里,似乎他活着就是为了画画。而滕香不会这样,她要化妆打扮,要逛街,她永远也下不了师兄那份功夫。 ⑤莫教授常慨叹:“论天资谁也比不上滕香,她要能有朱孟的刻苦勤奋那就没人能比了。”滕香一撇嘴,心里暗暗与导师顶嘴:就您那得意弟子也难比过我,不信走着瞧。 ⑥新一届青年美术家画展又要开始了。本来莫教授鼓励两个人都去参展,叫他们好好准备作品,可临到最后,改了主意,他看着滕香送交的作品说:“画手你还差得远,去了也白去,这次画展就不要参加了吧。” ⑦滕香噘起嘴。参加高级别的美术展是她盼望已久的,若能在这种权威性画展中获奖,就可能一举成名。滕香不满导师的决定,心道:是骡子是马总得拉出去遛遛。 ⑧寄交作品的最后期限就要到了,朱孟的作品由导师选定后报了上去,而滕香却瞒着导师偷偷向大赛组委会寄交了自己的作品。 ⑨大赛组委会本来是邀请莫教授担任评委的,因有自己的学生参加,莫教授采取了回避。美术展经过初评、复评,获奖名单终于出来了。看到获奖名单,莫教授大吃一惊。他万万没料到排在头一名的竟然是滕香,而他最得意的弟子朱孟却屈居第三。 ⑩无论怎么说,美术展的前三甲竟有两个是莫教授的学生,这事引起了轰动。记者们蜂拥而至,请莫教授评论他们的作品,特别想听听大师对此次美展第一名滕香的那幅作品的看法。 ?面对学生取得的成绩,莫教授既高兴又尴尬,竟不知如何评说。两幅作品画的都是一个翩翩起舞的少数民族女子,体态婀娜,美丽动人,曼妙传神。当然从线条笔墨上来看,朱孟的画更见功力,特别是画中少女轻盈舞动的纤纤玉手,竟给人一种柔软可触、呼之欲出的感觉,绝非一般画家所能画出。 ?然而,为什么却是滕香得了第一名?因为滕香根本没有画手,画中少女的手是虚的。那虚拟中的少女之手更给人无限的遐想,旋舞中的少女似乎在不停地变换着各种舞姿,令人目不暇接,妙不可言。 ?朱孟的画,专家给予的评价是:功力技巧一流,但画风太实,难以给人联想遐思,回味太少,缺少余音绕梁的韵味。而滕香的画正是胜在朱孟的欠缺上,莫教授对她这种避短就长、藏拙取巧的胜出,说不出是欣慰还是悲哀,面对记者的提问,竟无言以对。 ?滕香在一边得意地笑了。朱孟没有不平,只是淡淡平和地对师妹道:“你这是投机取巧……”滕香一撇嘴:“忌妒……”朱孟厚道地笑笑,没反驳。 ?最后,莫教授半开玩笑半叹息地说:“现在就兴这个。演员是相貌丑的讨喜,作品是少人看的获奖,画画当然也就是画不如不画的好了。”朱孟若有所思。 ?赛后,一切又归于寻常,朱孟仍整日泡在画室里…… ?研究生毕业,两人都留校当了教师。两位年轻的国画才俊,为画院增色不少。莫教授希望二人能珠联璧合,可滕香瞧不上朱孟,嫌他愚笨。 ?又一届美展开始筹备了。画院推荐二人一起参赛,希望他们能为画院争得荣誉。这回朱孟寄
