Mystery Story?

warning: violent content

Honestly, I don't think many Oxford students have muscles. I think you should make him a regular nerd. His dog died and he went off the deep end and shot the owner with tranquilizers. The tranquilizer dart got stuck in his jugular and when the store owner tried to remove it before the sedatives kicked in, that was really what did him in. The blood squirted everywhere and the dogs licked it up. There was enough tranquilizer in the blood to sedate them.

It's pretty cheesy and disgusting, but maybe that brainstorm will help give you some ideas.

How about Lyle (or whoever the murderer is) brought his dog to the pet store to see Adam the expert for "advice" on the dog's "ear" problem. Maybe ear mites or a rash or something like that. All good experts will look closely at the dogs ears. Some even smell them to diagnose a problem (my vet did.) So Adam is nice and close to the dog. Then, Lyle signals the trained dog to to attack with a dog whistle or a hand gesture. Adam dies due to dog attack.

What do you think?

well, Adam knew Lyle, but not many people knew that, thus he was never really questioned at first, but once the evidence comes together, Lyle is brought in, a couple of times as the evidence gets stronger. Lyle is cocky until the very end, even when the detectives start learning his "mind games" & start playing thier own on him durring some of the interragations.

back to the main plot. adam was killed over a dispute with lyle, this dispute never truely escalted, just lyle lost his "cool". the dogs were tranq'd by adam himself, via manipulation by lyle. adam probally owed lyle money, or something like that...

that good?

The CSI team found traces of metal in the cut on Adams throat. They knew it couldn't be a knife because the cut was to big and to deep. They knew it had to be an axe. They knew that Lyle had been released from prison a few months before and he was the only lumberjack in the area. Just use your imagination for the rest.

Lyle was using Adam to smuggle drugs out of the country in the dogs he was selling. When some of the dogs end up missing(and the drugs) Lyle comes to confront Adam. Lyle gets mad and tranquillized the dogs so he could get them w/ the drugs and get away before someone found out. Lyle saw someone and ran before he could take the dogs but not before he stabbed Adam w/ his hunting knife.

For a secret tale, except it is meant for small little ones, i'd keep away from hunting for suitable personality-matching names. people are not named that way besides...and it is going to be a touch a damp squib in the journey that your villain is as we communicate spottable because he's the single with the "evil" call. the telephone listing is powerful. 4 (or 8) random surnames, settle on how previous they're, and then something from the excellent fifty toddler names from the three hundred and sixty 5 days they were born.

Sorry it sounds rather dull and very far fetched. A lumberjack man that went to Oxford?

Ok,

But I charge .07 cents a letter. Still game?

What is "trasquilled"? Did you mean tranquillized?

Do your own homework.
