The Mystery Club’s Culinary Adventure (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:42s
In a small city, a group of friends formed a club called the mystery club. They loved solving puzzles and sharing clues. One evening, the club met at a local restaurant where a famous chef prepared crispy chips. Suddenly, the lights went out and someone yelled, the cash box is missing. The club members quickly cast their suspicions on a shadowy figure near the door. Using their phones as lights, they searched every corner of the restaurant. In a dark cell by the kitchen, they found a bag of coal and the missing cash box hidden beneath it. The chef thanked them and cited their cleverness, inviting everyone to celebrate with more chips and a special dish he had just prepared.
