Detective Villy: A Short Story

One day, Deputy R. Ebel, a rookie on the Cloverville Police Department who was known for not playing by the rules decided that enough was enough. He paid a visit to the Smith’s home when no one was there and did a little snooping around. Upon pulling up to the Smith’s residence in his patrol vehicle, Ebel first noticed two green plastic garbage bags sitting on the curb propped up against the Smiths’ mailbox.

Mrs. Van Bliven stole her own necklace because she wanted the insurance money. The first piece of evidence is the glass on the balcony door was broken from the inside. This piece of evidence is important because it eliminates one suspect, Honore´ Schmidt. In order for him to be a suspect the broken glass would had to have been on the inside of the door. Since the window was broken from the inside, Mrs. Van Bliven must have broken it herself- therefore trying to frame someone else. The next piece of evidence is that Mrs. Van Bliven claimed that she locked the door and did not hear the phone ring. This fact is crucial to the investigation because it proves that Mrs. Van Bliven is lying about what she said. If the door was locked and the glass

The street was flooded with cop cars and sirens by the time Detective Toussaint arrived on the scene. He briefly greeted his colleagues consisting of nearly the entire Erie Police Department, Forensics, and numerous other variations of uniform, all embellished with the familiar detailed charcoal and crimson emblem. As Detective Toussaint ducked and weaved his way skillfully through the barriers of striped plastic tape, Edward Linder, the Erie PD coroner and an unusually odd man both in looks and manner, had skulked over to join the Detective. Linder exclaimed abruptly, “Three murders!” with an enthusiastic grin, “Discovered by a neighbour when she heard a scream. Knocked on the door but no one answered, so she looks through the window and sees

Upon my arrival, I observed a male subject later identified as Cody Wood flagging me down with a flashlight. As I exited my patrol vehicle Cody stated that Janet Wall that works at Yantis Food Mart asked Barbara and him to check on her husband because she had not been able to get a hold of him on the phone. Cody continued to state that when he arrived at the residence he knocked on the door but nobody would answer.

Take a glass beaker and using a pipette, mix a dash of Miss Marple's amateur sleuthing, a few drops of Nancy Drew's spunk and determination, a little pinch of Houdini and a whole lot of Friedrich Wöhler's talent for organic chemistry and you've got yourself a perfectly made solution in the form of an 11-year old girl called Flavia de Luce.

The movie The Maltese Falcon is about a private investigator who is striving to unravel the mystery surrounding a black enamelled bird known as the Maltese Falcon. Samuel Spade, the protagonist of the story, is what was known as a “hard-boiled” detective. Men such as that rarely show a tender side (if they have one). Likewise, they are physically tough, frequently resorting to guns or fists to get what they want. In addition, they tend to be amoral, yet with an inflexible code of honour of their own.

These missing cases were soon connected to the landlady after Mr. Weaver’s realization of her creepy disorder. Due to the landlady’s delusional state of mind, she mentioned that her former guests, Mr.Temple and Mr. Mulholland, were still staying at the bed and breakfast. While Mr. Weaver was sitting on the couch and drinking his odd tasting tea, he began examining the room, and he realized that the landlady was a taxidermist. Everything clicked inside his head and he realized that he needed to get out of there as soon as possible. He started to leave but she wouldn’t let him, she was very old and wasn’t very hard to overpower. He walked out onto the street and a wave of nausea hit him and he collapsed. An elderly man happened to be walking by at the time and took him to the hospital where they made the conclusion that he was poisoned with cyanide. After giving him some time to recover, my co-reporter and I, came in asked Mr. Weaver to recount his story which is how we gathered the information for this report.

I must have been so lost in thought that I didn’t notice when Susan Brande, the chief detective in the area, walked in the room. Susan walks past the both of us and stares intently at the body. Her partner, a younger girl by the name of Daira Reagan, happily follows, eyeing the body curiously as well.

Peter Hühn, a professor of English Literature, defines detective fiction as, “The plot of the classical detective novel comprises two basically separate stories—the story of the crime (which consists of action) and the story of the investigation (which is concerned with knowledge)” (252). At its rudimentary level, Suki Kim’s novel The Interpreter follows a similar structure. She presents her protagonist, Suzy Park, as “the detective” to find the “knowledge,” to her own personal mystery. Suzy is a twenty-nine-year-old Korean-American woman who lives in New York City. She is haunted by the murders of her parents; she was estranged from them for five years before their passing. When Suzy has reason to believe that their murder was a random shooting as was previously believed, she uses all the information that is available to solve the crime. Suki Kim utilizes tone and a nonlinear narrative structure to parallel Suzy’s confused mental state in The Interpreter. Because Suzy struggles to understand where she fits between both her American and Korean cultures, she must search to find her own identity and simultaneously search for the answers to her parent’s unsolved murder. Kim thus allows for her detective novel to have another dimension: in addition to investigating the crime, Suzy must investigate who she is as a human being.

Detective fictions aren’t like any other genre that one can read. They allow the readers to be engaged throughout the book in many ways as well as letting their own experiences and feelings form relationships with the detectives. They offer a problem in need of a solution which allows the reader to be involved by using their imagination and problem solving skills. Detective fictions also makes the reader find themselves not wanting to put the book down because of the excitement and the erg to know what is going to happen next. The readers may see themselves connecting with the heroes and also they will notice the unique skills that the detectives have. Detective Fictions are appealing to readers because they allow the reader to be involved throughout the story by using their imagination to solve the problem, they read about situations that keeps them on their toes throughout the book and the reader builds a relationship with the “hero.”
