The Nobel Crisis -amended

One day, the police of the USA called Alex, “Hi detective, I am the Chief Constable. There were madmen stealing many Nobel Prizes and the next target is the American president Obama. They want to kill him and get the Nobel Prize. Could you go to the USA? We will pay for the flight and hotel. I think they are from Al-Qaeda. There are altogether 169 prizes missing.”

So Alex went to the USA to see what happened. They stole 169 Nobel Prizes in forty-eight museums around the world. When Alex went to the Hilton Hotel, a man wanted to use a pocket knife to stab him, but Alex’s bodyguard protected him and they took the man to the police.

After two days, he went to Sweden and investigated the Nobel Prize case. They needed to find some security tapes. They saw a black man who wore black clothes and a red hat in the tape,. When Alex went to the Nobel Museum, he found some blue powder and forty-five Nobel Prizes.

Then, they found the security guard of the Nobel Museum. He said he could not find anything in the museum. But Alex found forty-five Nobel Prizes in a small toilet. The security guard was arrested by a policeman.

When Alex thought he had solved the case and went back to the toilet, the Nobel Prizes disappeared. All the security guards at the museum door said, ”No one went out of the museum!” Alex kept thinking, ”What happened?” Alex pointed to the policeman who was taking the security guard and shouted, ”He is the thief, arrest him!”

The policeman asked, ”How did you know?” Alex explained, ”Your bag was heavier and bigger than before! If no one had come in or gone out of the museum, the thief must be the policeman!” Then, they found one 169 Nobel Prizes in the bag. The man was arrested too.

So Alex had solved the case and was awarded the USA Good Citizen Prize.
