Blood In The Hollow Tree!

       On a bright Saturday, when  everyone  in  Sun Corner Village thought they were no worries about anything, an officer from the nearby joined town called for a meeting at the police station. Everyone attended in clean clothes. I just grabbed a shirt and jeans. My brother, Saym did the same.
       The meeting was about a escaped prisoner, a murder from the village. He was again yesterday suspected of killing  Dilly Pomp . Her deadbody was found in a forest. Saym and I loved mysteries and having fights with violent criminals. We listened carefully. After the meeting, we waited and asked more information about it. The officer gave all the information and told if we could help the police this time too as we did last time about a thief, we said yes together.
             The next day, the officer asked mum and dad if they could give permission for me and my brother to camp in the forest where Dilly was murdered. She gave us permission and we rushed off. When we arrived there, after arranging and putting up the tents, we explored the whole forest carefully, looking for clues.  Sadly, we did not found any.
          That night Saym heard a curious sound.  We were fearless brothers so we went outside and explored. We found what we did not find or even went near it when we were exploring in the morning.  Blood in the hollow tree beside our tent!
        Next day, we found the murder! At least, he was the person who was in the photo the officer gave. We started a fight. We won. We handcuffed him and bought him in the presence of the Chief Inspector.
        It was a happy ending and we got 2 well made gold medals.
