Think Out Of The Box

"I’ve checked each and every box; there’s no trace of the drugs."

The officer-in-charge, O, told the detective, D.

"O! Don't you know? This is a smart move by the drug cartel to make the case slow!" 

"Think out of the box; don't go with the flow!"

D replied in his characteristic style.

 

"Oh! Maybe the fake news and boxes were planted here to throw us off-guard & waste our time so!" O remarked.


Meanwhile, D had traced the drugs' movement by tracking the mobile-phone that the drug-dealers had used.

"Think like there’s no box; you'll know!" 

D signed off.

For this story, I just went with the flow! :) 

Hope we do not have drug-dealers and drug-addicts in our world. Drug-addiction has wrecked many families.

I would have loved if all these boxes were filled with books! That would gift food for thought!

  3. I don't know much about crime solving, but I do agree with the advice to 'think like there's no box'. Good life advice. Intriguing story.
