The Perfect Crime [Thursday, Period Five]

[cuff-me-once.livejournal.com]

Rick had sent an email telling his class to meet in the Danger Shop today. When they arrived, they found a luxurious train carriage and a grinning Rick, dressed in nineteen-thirties clothes, awaiting them.

"Afternoon, kids," he said, gesturing to a changing area. "If you would just take a moment to change into more appropriate clothing, we have a murder to solve."

Once everyone had finished changing, Rick continued. "The year is 1934, you are travelling from Istanbul to Paris by train. One night as you near Belgrade, a snowstorm causes the train to be halted, and in the morning you awaken to discover that the passenger in the compartment next to you has been murdered, and in quite a grisly fashion too. Twelve stab wounds, of varying depths and delivered with both the left and right hands. You have thirteen suspects, and your clues point in so many different directions there's a good chance at least some of them have been planted."

He began passing out sheaves of notes. "Further complicating the matter is the discovery that your victim, far from being innocent, was a fugitive kidnapper and murderer, responsible for five deaths. Five victims who oh-so-coincidentally are connected in one way or other to your suspects."

"The notes I just gave you have all the details of the case, your job is to solve it. You can work by yourself or with others, but I want a murderer and your reasons why of why you think they did it by the end of class."

No real reason, Rick just likes an excuse to play dress-ups.

Helen thought this was a bit odd, but still, it was better than the gym outfits she'd had to wear, so...

Alex was kind of excited for today's class and didn't mind having to change. Sometimes it was fun to dress up.

Codex's fondness for Professor Castle just got stronger. It wasn't a costume she was used to, but still! Costume! For class!

Rick sure does love the sound of his voice.

Alone or with your classmates.

And if the mystery happens to sound like one of the cases of a certain Belgian dective, no spoiling the rest of the class.

Helen considered all the elements very carefully. This was quite a mystery.

Jaime glanced over at Helen. Did she want to work with a partner?

Helen smiled at him a bit shyly. "Did you want to work together? she asked.

Re: Consider the mystery! - PC [Week 05]

[weldedtomyspine]

"I could use the help," he grinned.

Re: Consider the mystery! - PC [Week 05]

She raised an eyebrow. "I'd be glad to try, but I'm not sure how good I am with solving mysteries. I could use the help myself, honestly."

Re: Consider the mystery! - PC [Week 05]

[weldedtomyspine]

"Then maybe together we can come up with the right answer."

Solve the mystery! - PC [Week 05]

[cuff-me-once.livejournal.com]

Say who you thought did it and why you think it was them.

Anyone whose reason is 'I read the book' will be expected to repeat Christie's explanation verbatim.

"I'm afraid we haven't a clue," Helen admitted. "Jaime and I have been through all the evidence and it seems to point to everyon. We can't seem to narrow it down."

Rick doesn't have a massive fanboy crush on anyone with the initals A.C. honest!
