It is Mr. High’s house. Somebody killed Mr. High yesterday and Dedective Cruiser wants to find the murderer.
There are five people at home. One of them killed Mr. High. Dedective Cruiser is going to ask some questions and they are going to answer.
Firstly the dedective asked a question to the gardener.

Gardener: I was in the garden. I was watering the flowers.
D.C: Which flowers were you watering?
Gardener: I was watering the daisies.
D.C: Are you going to water them today?
Gardener: No, I’m not.

D.C: Hımm. that’s good. Wait there please. Now I’m going to ask some questions to the driver. Where is he?
Driver: I’m here, sir. I was waiting at the door.
D.C: Ok. Did you hear the gun yesterday?
Driver: No, I didn’t because I was in the garage.
D.C: Why were you in the garage?
Driver: I had a headache and I didn’t want to hear anything.
D.C: What if Mr. High or Mrs. High wanted to go somewhere?
Driver: I told them sir. They said go and have a rest.

That’s strange.
Driver: Mrs. High told me. They were cleaning the house with the servant. Mrs. High sent me to the garage.

D.C: What did he say?
Servant: He wanted to have a rest because he had a headache. He has got a migraine, so he often has got a headache. The gardener was watering the şowers in the garden. I could see

LAST NIGHT’S ACTION

Last night I had a terrible dream. We were having a good time at a friend’s party when the lights went out suddenly. I wasn’t able to see anything.
I heard a strange noise while I was looking for my friends. It was my name.
– Jennyyy……………
I wanted to sit and wait for the others instead of going somewhere else. While I was waiting in horror, one of my friends touched my shoulder. I looked back but couldn’t see anything.
I was interested in photography and I had a camera with me. I took it and pushed the botton.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were giants around the living room. I pushed the button again. The giants were still there.
I took my camera and tried to run away, but it was impossible. I couldn’t run, I couldn’t scream and I couldn’t do anything.
Suddenly somebody turned on the lights while I was crying. I saw all of my friends. They just said ‘Happy Birthday Jenny’
I woke up at that moment. It was terrible.
While I was talking to mum about the dream she did the same thing. ‘Happy Birthday Jenny’. I was surprised but I realized that it was the second of June that day and it was my birthday.
