The Nhoj Case Files #11: the Case of the Planted Testimony

"I do", said the man, a person testifying on the case against my friend (the Philippine historian, now being accused of stealing the Spolarium), swearing to the whole "do you swear" blah blah blah. To be honest, I think court cases are boring, but hey, I'm being paid to sit here.

When asked to retell his account, the cartographer replied: "Well, 2 weeks ago, he went to the Philippines, saying that he will try to explore its wonders and try to 'steal' some of the beauty. then, I thought he was talking about food.

"Then 3 days later, I was woken up at 2 A.M. by him calling long distance", he continued, " He told me that two hours ago, under the cover of the night: 'I did it, I stole the Spolarium!'. I then reported him to the police.", he finished off.

"Can you crack this one? Prove your friend's innocence?" asked chief.

"Of course, chief. In fact, I already have."

How did he do it?

I did that once too. It was my 9(?)th birthday, and also the Math Competition in a school near my home. It was sort of a test, you know, with a testpaper.

After the test(whatever), I went home for my birthday party. I even invited my teachers to come, told them my address(since it's close to the school).

It turns out, I tied for first place. And, of course, there was a tiebreaker.And, of course, I wasn't there. And, of course, I have five minutes to get there (and I didn't know that). And, of course, my teachers forgot my address.And, of course, it was too late when i got there(no longer in uniform, I might add). And, of course, my classmate yelled at me (i cried)[I was 9 then].

But, I did get second place.
