Deductive Reasoning

Deductive reasoning. I was well aware of how the banking business secured and stored it's notes. These seals are for protection as well as packaging. That the crime wasn't discovered until the counterfeit notes began to circulate, I reasoned that the employees sucessfully remove the real currency from the protective wrappings and replaced them with the bogus notes.

My next ponderence was how.

The flaw with this sealing of a stack of bank notes is that the paper used in the ribbons is different than that of the notes they bind, a little understanding of how moisture and heat affect certain papers is all one needs in munipulating the one from the binding of the other without breaking the seal.

This is how they got away with the deception, and

The first letter described the history of the medeval trial, padding it for the most part with

Bogus and exeggerated events. The extortionist claimed to be a descendent of the acused who had been visited by a beast with the characteristics of both man and wolf. He intimated to sir Cromwell that this fiend spoke with him, with the knowledge of they both being related by familial blood.

Now comes the incredible...of which I can't understand how this noble and austere gentleman could let himself be so taken in. The werewolf, obviously the reincarnation of x, had saught his descendent's help in locating the heir of the jurer that found him guilty. He says he told the fiend that his conscience would not permit him from aiding in the destruction of an innocent man, but the beast was adament and exhibited such frightening rage, that he

Feared for his own person. To pacify the creature he agreed to assist in his, sir cromwel's whereabouts, but never intending to turn him over. He suggested a means of corespondence by way of the old defunct mailbox in the park. He would leave a note to keep him abreast of the situation and Cromwell should reply in

This first letter placed in the door of the mansion went unheeded for several weeks, so the rouge wrote another, and left it in the tattered mailbox in the park. As no one pays any mind to this antique, the extortionist knew that Cromwell had visited and removed the letter.

Another was written, describing how impatient the fiend was becoming. He says he often saw blood on the mouth and hands of the beast... Whether the blood of human or animal he wasn't sure, but he knew the animal had ripped something or someone to shreds.

He says the animal would then trot to a back room of his dwelling, lie and whimper in the dark... "I would bring this to the attention of the police, but the creature is no fool... I need money, for now I am out of work due to this dreadful inconvienence... It is you he wants, and I am doing all in my power to prevent this bloodlust... I need your assistance sir Cromwell... Help me, I implore you..."

Cromwell retrieved this note as well, but like the first, left no reply in the old box... This is when the first murder began, after which Cromwell began to leave a packet of money in the box after retrieving the note.

But why didn't Cromwell rush to the chief of police with this murderous
