The Music Shop
Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
On 17 Greendale Street, Tony Owens owned a brass music store. Next to him, there was another music shop owned by Jeff Ringlington. One day, two kids named Jerry and Spencer went into one music shop and then the other looking for an instrument. A couple of days later, an instrument went missing. The police were put on the case. The next day they found a clarinet in the deserted alley on Juleps Avenue. Both music store owners immediately told the police that it was their instrument. The chief of police told the officers to give it to Jeff Ringlington. What made the chief so sure it belonged to Jeff?
HintLook at the type of musical stores they are.

Answer
It was because Tony Owens' shop was a brass shop. Therefore the clarinet could not belong to Tony as it was a woodwind instrument.

| Yeah, it was very easy. You should have made the fact that the other one was a brass instrument store a little more subtle. I don't know how, but still..O_o |

| I did not look at hint, so i figured only one police report was filed. So the cops already knew the owner. Because it states an instrument was missing meaning one.  |

| my friend thought becuz it was brass but she sounded confused i thought since it said"went in to one then the other looking for an instrument" that one sold CD's and the other was instruments!! |

| It might have been harder if the instrument was an English horn and not a clarinet, since the name "horn" makes many non-musicians think of a brass instrument (The English Horn actually resembles a lower oboe) |

| Easy and I don't even read the hints. I thought the story could have been a bit longer.
Thanks for a fun teaser!

| Hmmm the Clarinet could also belong to Tony Owens. What if he owns a clarinet and lost it. But I guess that possibility doesn't count since it wasn't on the story |
