Mehul carefully observes the letters written on the wall, which were in a pattern! Besides the letters on the wall, Mehul also notices pictures of three girls.
Can you carefully observe the pattern of these letters? Can you tell who the Killer will target next among these three?
Answer: Look at the pattern "ABA," there are three letters in the word, and the name of the last victim was "BOB," which was also a three-letter word. The next pattern is ABBA, and in the second picture, the girl's name is ANNA. The number of letters in her name matches the number of letters in the pattern. Therefore, ANNA will be the next target for the Killer

Understand the number pattern carefully and also look at the image provided below, then tell,
What will be Mehul's house number on Thursday?
Answer:G- 808
The alphabets are increasing alternatively,
A, C, E, so the next letter will be G.

George said, "There was no electricity, I fell asleep. Check the CCTV."
Ren - "I was telling a story to my child."
Tim - "There was no light, so I was reading by candlelight, and then I fell asleep."
