The Case Of The Habitual Liar Dr. Haledjian and sheriff John Wilson where riding down First Avenue in a government issue Crown Victoria, they were searching for house number 11183. The FBI asked the sheriff’s office if he could look into the murder of the young Ms. Suzane Shane. After some highly confidential background research the sheriff came up with a name, Alex Pierson. Our story begins… “ I just don’t understand, Alex Pierson just doesn’t seem like the kind of person that would kill someone in cold blood.” Exclaimed the Sheriff in a confused monotone. Dr. Haledjian peered up from behind a manila folder, “ Well, it says here that Alex is a habitual liar and has lied to police nine times before. From my experience, I have seen many liars escalate to murder.” The two pulled up to house number 11183 to see Mr. Pierson standing in his front lawn watering his plants. He did not see the two officers of the law pull up. “ This is the place, let’s get him.” The sheriff jumped out of the car with his gun leading the way, he strafed toward Alex Pierson and shouted, “ Alex Pierson! Put your hands behind your back walk towards your car, if you try anything stupid, I will shoot you.” Alex did as he was told without any hesitation. Dr. Haledjian meandered after the sheriff. By the time the Dr. had gotten over to the two of them the sheriff already had Alex in handcuffs and he had Alex’s face pressed against the hood of his yellow sports car. Dr. Haledjian could smell the burning of Alex’s facial flesh and he could hear Alex groaning in pain. “ Wait a second here, don’t I get to tell my story, and what am I being arrested for?” demanded Alex. Dr. Haledjian began “ This morning at 5:00 o’clock AM, Suzane Shane was murdered in her own home. It is now six o’clock AM. So, Mr. Pierson, were where you an hour ago?” Mr. Pierson explained that, “ This morning at five o’clock I was in my bed, sleeping. Just like every other person on First Avenue!” Dr. Haledjian smirked and then said, “ Sheriff, tag him and bag him because he is under arrest for lying to the cops, for the tenth time.” **//How did Haledjian know that Mr. Pierson was lying?//**

Sarah Grave: Well if he was sleeping in bed at five he woodnt be up at 6 watering his lawn. And if he went without any hesitation he is guilty.
 * ANSWER: He is lying because the car hood is hot and it is burning him, so the engine is hot because he had recently drove it.**
