- :CASE
- Early this morning you were awaken by a pounding at the door.
- Mrs Hudson had been sorry that should could not stop the gentleman
- from comming up to your rooms and rousing you so early.
-
- As you let Mr. Antoine Gaubert into your rooms you were joined by
- a sleepy eyed Dr. Watson. As you drank your morning tea, Mr.
- Gaubert had shown you the following note:
-
- AVYWEORTUQSAGKRLOEAZSCEENENILTYWECANTICKEETMDFBTMSOIODINIRAE
- REFRYOUTRANYANOVIUMORPOPPDAPORLITECIAUNESSTHEBANDIDIOITHNARG
- TOMMIEOUTHROUGPARRISITESFROMIN
-
- Watson had been a little confused as to why the gentleman was
- making such a fuss over a garbled note. You recounted to him
- that the identical note had been found on the bodies of 8 other
- gentlemen who had been found murdered in the last 3 weeks.
-
- Alas you had decided to take the case and assured Mr. Gaubert that
- you would do all in your power to keep him alive. But that was
- early and now you sit in front of the fire without a clue or a
- name to start with other than the little note.
-
- In order to save Mr. Gaubert, you must find out:
-
- a) Who is the serial murderer
- b) What is the motive
- c) What does the message say
-
- The game is afoot!
