You’re under arrest for murder.
Mr Wang got along with his neighbours except the cook called Nick.
One day, Mr and Mrs Zhang found the body of Mr Wang. They got very scared and called the police as soon as possible.
Detective Li checked the scene of the crime after arriving there. Then he confirmed that Mr Wang was murdered. So Detective Li started to look for more clues.
When Detective Li asked Nick for some clues, Nick said he had nothing to do with Mr Wang and this crime. Mr and Mrs Zhang looked worried and said they didn’t see or hear anything because they were having a party when Detective Li asked them.
Luckily, Detective Li found a knife which covered in blood and a gun from rubbish bin nearby. After Detective Li checked these for fingerprint, he was sure that Nick was the murderer.
Finally, Nick was under arrest for murder.
