A detailed Summary of Detective Fiction Short Story

The telephone rang. No one answered. Detective Michaels called again, but there was still no answer. "Damn it," yelled Michaels, slamming the telephone back into its cradle, "he won't answer the phone. He probably got some hot tip and decided to go check it out himself. God, I swear if he goes ahead and screws up another case I'm gonna kill him! Three times Jerry, three times he has ruined an entire case that we have been working on for months. Just the other day I got a call from Peterson saying that he arrested the alleged Railroad killer and he was bringing him in. But instead of just returning with the criminal, what do you think he does? I'll tell ya what he did Jerry! He left the idiot in the back seat of our newest patrol car, my patrol car, while he went in and got a cheeseburger Happy Meal from McDonalds! I mean, at least he could have used the drive-through! That way, he could have been there when the gang casually towed my damn car away, with the suspect inside! O!

h, and better yet! The next day when I went to pull out of my driveway, I slammed right into my stolen patrol car, leaving a large crack in my bumper and nice silver scrape down the side of my mother-in-law's van. As it turns out, the

Yo my name is mike d and im here to say, im from the mother fuckn city of LA!

"Yeah!" I've been trying to get a hold of him for hours now in his office. Where is he? Hasn't anyone heard the phone ringing?"

"What Sir? I don't know what you're talking about."

"So what does this have to do with the case I am working on?" questioned Michaels.

ison. At first police in the area figured that it was just suicide because when they performed an extensive background search on the four victims there was nothing ion common. No information that linked the victims together was found except for the fact that the same poison was used in each of their murders."

"So what's your answer to the question?" Peterson asked.

"Yeah we better get started, especially because I've been out for a week and need to go over the information," Jerry said in a serious manner.

"Ok, but what does a piano cord and some poison have in common?"

"Yeah," Jerry stepped in. "Joe knew the people who had received inheritance money and he persuaded them to leave the cash to the church, upon their death, which of course, we arranged. With our help, Father Joe was able to figure out who had relatives that would get the money and who didn't. After a few 'adjustments' to their wills, the money would be ours in no time. The phone number...just an easy way to remember the addresses of the people who were supposed to die. Oh man, and the best part of it is about to unfold!"

"Well, the results say it's a cord that is most commonly used in pianos and other musical instruments. The woman at the lab said this string though, is from a piano because of the long stretches on either ends of it."
