Here’s a quick biography of how I came to be, 1 the junior lead detective who researches fearlessly. 2 The probability, I find, is just as good as coincidence 3 that I’ll find some hidden mystery by watching some events. 4 This vocation, fair and true, I stumbled on one day, 5 and the verdict was that I’d pursue each fact that comes my way. 6 When I find a question that requires investigation, 7 I pull out all the stops and start my thorough speculation. 8 I believe in accuracy, and truth for all involved, 9 and always staying neutral ‘til the case is all but solved. 10 Each occurrence that I witness is a clue to ponder ever— 11 ‘til I take the case and make it my own personal endeavor. 12 I interview each villain, and I never give an inch. 13 I notice all the ticks, and I explore each blink and flinch. 14 I ensure each alibi is honest; I check each testimony, 15 and I find the real exception and expose it from the phony. 16
