 * The Case of the Party Boy**

Detective Sherman sat down at his desk in Ceder Falls Iowa. He looked at his daily calender and ripped off the date from yesterday, November 26, 2006. He loooks at the edge of his desk and saw that there was a new file waiting for him to read. Sherman picked up the file and read:

=
//A young man was said to of comitted suicide last night. A witness, Johnathon Delcoy tells his stoy of what he saw, "Bryson was such a party guy. Loud noise, tons of friends over every weekend. But last night i was surprised when I didnt hear a sound. I looked out my window and saw a figure standing on the roof. He had something in his hand. Next thing i knew he's on the ground. I ran outside to see who it is and if their okay. On my way out I took the flashlight with me. I shinned the light on the face of the figure. It was Bryson. And in his right hand was a knife. At that moment I knew he had committed suicide.//======

//"Another witness, Julia Jameson, said, "Bryson was such a party animal, and so full of life. He had many friends and was a great student. I dont believe that he would commit suicide. So hard to believe, yes, so hard. He had a party last night but it was shorter than usual. I figured that Mr. Delcoy had called the cops to complain about noise, he always complained about Bryson's parties."//======

Sherman closed the file, pondered for a moment, and figured it would be best to go to the crime scene. He arrived at the scene of the crime, stepped out of his car and walked straight to the house of Johnathon Delcoy. As he walked passed the scene, he noticed that the knife was not there. Sherman walked up to Johnathon's doorstep and rung the doorbell. When the door opened, he asked to come inside to talk with Mr. Delcoy, who said, "Why not just talk out on my pourch?" Sherman replied, "But it's quite cold out side, dont you think?" "I suppose it would be best inside." and the entered the house. Delcoy offered the detective a drink, "That would be nice, thank you." He followed Delcoy into the kitchen. Sherman studied the room as he usally does. "So to my understanding," Sherman started, "you noticed that Bryson was holding an object in his hand, and when you got up close, it was a knife?" "Yes, that is correct." "Are you sure? I passed the scene and there was no knife." "Sir, do you think that i did it? Impossible." "I don't find it impossible."
