Mr Burt discovers that someone has drunk all the coffee in the entire staffroom. When i went in there i saw Mr Goodwin favourite mug, Mr Somervilles jumper, miss tuia’s keys, a squashed banana that was weird. My suspects were Mr Goodwin, Mr Somerville , miss tuia, Mrs sio, but first i will  look for clues.  

Goodwin's mug had coffee lines in it. I brought Mr goodwin to the table to ask him questions i asked him were you there at the time Mr burts coffee got stolen he said ”i was talking to miss parrant’ i said ok did you see anyone by Mr burt's coffee he said i saw Mr someville i said thank you for your service.

I went to go and look for Mrs sio I found her eating her lunch. I told her to come with me to a secret room she said ok still eating her banana. I asked her the same question and she said that she was talking to Miss tuia  but she also said that she saw Mr. Someville too.

So it was time to find mr somville when i found him i took him to the secret room but when i looked at his mouth and it had coffee on it so that looked suspicious he said can i have some coffee i said ok but come back he came back with the same type of coffee mr burt had i asked him were you there when the time was when mr burts coffee got stolen he said ya i said the main question did you steal the coffee the room went silent and he went to run out of the room but the door was locked i said your not going anywhere just then he admitted it i did steal his coffee he said. i said it is ok but then he said i need more coffee.
