The Mysteries of Inspector Becky and Dr. Johnny.
Here's how this works. I post a "mystery" story, and you figure out why it's not a mystery.
The Case of the UNUSED SEATBELT.
When Inspector Becky slammed on the brakes, Dr. Johnny would have been pitched through the windshield but for his seatbelt.
The reason for the inspector's sudden stop was horribly evident.
A red sports car had come racing around the hairpin turn on the mountain road ahead.Out of control, the car had crashed through the guard rail.
The impact didn't stop the car, but it flung the driver straight up. He seemed to hang in the air a moment before plunging out of sight.
Johnny and the Inspector scrambled down the two hundred-foot precipice.
The driver's body was a shattered mass of broken bones and blood. About one hundred feet beyond, the sports car lay on it's side, a total wreck.
"Strange", muttered the inspector, pointing to the seat belt, obviously unused, which lay in the fresh blood that covered the driver's bucket seat.
"I doubt that even a seat belt could have saved his life," said Johnny.
"I better telephone the police," said the inspector. "It looks like one more traffic fatality for the year. Do you think he fell asleep at the wheel?"
"No," said Johnny. "He was murdered."
How did Dr. Johnny know that the accident was not an accident after all?
