John Phoenix was in town by the sea, the town had lots of buildings in every direction (except where the sea is) when suddenly a man fell over and bled to death!
"Who's gonna solve this crime pal?" said Gumshoe.
"I will!" said a mysterious man in the crowd. The shadow disappeared from his face! Holy shit! John Phoenix was in town!
"Now let's go and solve this case," said John Phoenix.
John Phoenix went to the morgue to question the coroner.
"The victim was shot, that he was!" said the morgue. He gave John Phoenix the autopsy report saying the bullet entered the top of the victim's head.
"I got it pal!" said Gumshoe. "The victim must've been shot from the rooftops, so the culprit must've been Spring-Heeled Jack!"
Gumshoe arrested Spring-Heeled Jack.
"OBJECTION!" shouted John Phoenix. "We didn't hear any gunshots!"
"Hum, quite so quite so," said the doctor. "But my boy you must've! Gunshots ring out when gunshots are made!"
"Yes!" said John Phoenix. "Which means the gunshot must've been heard FAR AWAY!"
"OBJECTION!" shouted Vex Vulper the prosecutor who is based. "Ha ha ha ha! What, where else could he have been shot from then, Johnny Boy? The sky?"
"No, gunmen can't fly," said John Phoenix. But he had to work out how he really got shot.
John Phoenix went back to the crime scene and ran into Kay.
"Kay use your advanced Little Thief to recreate the crime scene," said John Phoenix.
"O-Kay," said Kay (joke).
Little Thief recreated the crime and the victim was lying down.
"OBJECTION!" shouted John Phoenix. "If Jack shot the victim like this it would have hit his face!"
"NO! YOU CAN'T PROVE THE SHOOTER WAS STANDING SOMEWHERE ELSE!" said Vulper.
"But you just said he was!"
"CURSE YOU JOHNNY BOYYYYYYYYYYY!"
John Phoenix took out a telescope and looked across the sea and saw a sniper on a distant island.
"Shit!" The sniper tried to snipe John Phoenix but John Phoenix dodged. Then the sniper started to escape!
"Oh no pal how are we gonna catch him!" said Gumshoe.
John Phoenix ran to get some boats.
But then Vex Vulper shot the boats down!
"You'll NEVER arrest the true culprit Johnny Boy!" said Vulper.
"Yeah he will, hop aboard Johnny!" said Pete.
John Phoenix hopped aboard and Vulper tried to shoot Pete's boat down but he was out of rockets.
John Phoenix got to the island on time to stop the sniper.
"I knew it was you... DYLAN!"
Dylan Fitchar swam away.
The End!
