Question

Kidnapped

You helped Detective Toby McAllister keep his job and reputation by the skin of his nose, to which he is grateful. But he finds himself in the need of your assistance again. A life may be at stake, so be sure to think it over.

Here is the deal, a doctor was nabbed for some knowledge that he might have possessed that certain people didn’t want him to have. He’s the senor at a center for acoustic research, and they greatly wanted to come back unharmed.

You have several leads, but there is no way you can check them all, can you help Mr. McAllister narrow the list down to the two most logical places to look?

1. The old abandoned meat factory- Someone saw suspicious activity going on down there, and was concerned enough to leave an anonymous tip.

2. The basements of a music store- Strange noise have been reported coming from there and several sources confirm this.

3. An old barn- a near by resident reported seeing strange lights (possibly from flashlights or lanterns) entering the barn during the night.

4. A local headphone business- Has been known to keep to it self; it might be on the verge of financial ruin.

5. A warehouse – Two anonymous tips came in saying they saw a man fighting with several other guys, and the fight disappearing into the warehouse

Which two of these five leads seem the most likely? Remember, there is no way to check them all, so choose wisely. The Doctor and Mr. McAllister need your help!

2 AND 4, Those are the most logical places because the potential suspects are people related to the music industry (either directly or indirectly). The doctor was researching acoustics and he must have found something that would jeopardize the music business. So what did the head of the music store or headphone business do? They kidnapped him because they didn't want the doctor spilling out precious secrets.

1. The most likely lead is in here, because the doctor needed space to experiment and an abandoned meat factory is suitable.

2. Strange sound is supposed to come out of the basement of a music store.

3. Probably some kids were just exploring a barn.

4. If its a local company it is very likely to get bankrupt.

5. Another likely lead, it is unlikely for it to be false because two people saw it happen.

So, I would choose 1 and 5.

This is right, those other leads were either false or just unlikely. Great job!

Option 1 and 5 are most probable suggestion something related to crime. The other options can be dismissed since they could happen due to a number of innocent reasons
