The Code of Mr. Adriano’s Death
1. Detective AlfaZero finds a strange note in his office-apartment
At 10:00 o’clock of a cool Wednesday morning, detective AlfaZero returned to his office-apartment located on the busy “Marginal Street” of Luanda, the beautiful capital city of Angola, from a nearby supermarket where he was doing some shopping. He opened the front door and… he stood still for a moment, looking at the small piece of paper on the floor.
“Someone must have slipped it through the door gap.” AlfaZero thought while stooping down to pick it up. Then he read what was on the note:
"People say you are the best detective in town. Prove it. I just killed someone at 44, Garden Street. Prove that I am the murderer. To facilitate your work, here is a clue: NMKMIKMA1035WM.”
Detective AlfaZero examined the note carefully. The person who wrote it used a typewriter. It must have been an old typewriter as some of the letters, especially the letter “P”, was not so clear. “Is this “clue-note” a joke? Or was someone really killed at 44, Garden Street? Well, there is only one way to find out and that is going to 44, Garden Street and seeing if something unusual happened there,” AlfaZero said to himself
He put the clue-note, as he called it, in his shirt pocket. Then he unpacked his shopping and placed the items on the shelves and in the refrigerator. After that, he went to his car and rushed to 44, Garden Street. Traffic was heavy on that morning so he took some time to reach his destination. When he got there, he knocked at the door and a female servant, Ms. Carlota, came to open it.
“Good-morning, madam, I'm detective AlfaZero,” he said, “Are you alone?”
“Well, Ms. Sandra went shopping and her husband, Mr. Adriano, is in his office at the back of the house.”
“Can you please tell Mr. Adriano that I need to talk to him immediately?”
“Yes, Sir, I’ll do that right away.”
Some moments later, AlfaZero heard Ms. Carlota screaming and then saw her running towards him. She was in shock and just managed to say, “Mr. Adriano is... is... dead. Oh, it’s terrible!”
AlfaZero rushed to Mr. Adriano's office. He found Mr. Adriano sitting on his chair with the upper part of his body lying on his desk. A pistol was on the desk and drops of blood were falling to the floor. AlfaZero noticed that there was a cloth around the grip of the pistol probably to prevent fingerprints from being detected on the pistol grip. He looked around the office trying to find something unusual in it but it seemed to him that everything was as they should be. Then, detective AlfaZero called Inspector Juvenal from AngoCrime (The Agency of Investigation and Notification of Crimes) and informed him on the case.
