Mystery Message:
You have probably noticed that some of the letters on your detective sheet have boxes around them, right? That's because they form a mystery message!
To find out what the message is, write all of the boxed letters (except for the "l", which has been done for you) on the lines near the bottom of your detective sheet. Make sure that you write the letters in the order that they appear on the sheet!
Once you have written the mystery message, scroll down this page to check your work!
