Chapter 2

Chapter 2 My phone rang. "Hello," I said. "Flytrap Detective Agency." A very fancy voice started bossing me around. "Flytrap, you must come down to the train station right away! My pickle paperweight has been stolen!" "Sorry," I said. "I have already found missing pickle paperweights twice before. Now that I am solving only the world's greatest mysteries, I cannot waste any more time on pickle paperweights." "But this is the world's GREATEST pickle paperweight," the fancy voice insisted. "It's a solid- gold pickle that's encrusted with emeralds, diamonds, and moon rocks, and I recently bought it for 100 million dollars!" "I'll be right there," I said and hung up. "Nina! The game is afoot! We have a world's greatest mystery to solve!" "Big deal," said Nina, swallowing the rest of my tie.

我的电话响了。“你好，”我说。 “捕蝇蝇侦探事务所。” 一个奇怪的声音开始对我颐指气使。 “捕蝇草，你必须马上到火车站来！”我的泡菜镇纸被偷了！”“对不起，”我说。 “我之前已经两次找到丢失的泡菜镇纸了。 既然我正在解决世界上最大的谜团，我不能再浪费时间在泡菜镇纸上了。” “但这是世界上最好的泡菜镇纸。”那个奇怪的声音坚持说。 “这是一个纯金的泡菜，上面镶嵌着祖母绿、钻石和月球岩石，我最近花了1亿美元买下了它！”“我马上就到，”我说完就挂了电话。 “妮娜!比赛开始了！我们有一个世界上最大的谜团要解开！”“有什么大不了的，”尼娜说，吞下了我剩下的领带。
