## **Chapter 13: Stealing Sweets from a Local Store**

Late afternoon in the Lipowa Aleja neighborhood was filled with children returning from school, laughter, and neighbors chatting. However, the anxiety of the owner of a small grocery store hung in the air—his goods were mysteriously disappearing. Sweets were disappearing from the shelves at night, leaving only scattered wrappers.

"Commissioner Nowak!" called Mr. Janek, the store owner. "Someone's stealing my candy! The children are terrified, and I can't find the culprit!"

Jakub looked at Argo and smiled:

"Looks like we have another lead, Argo. Time for a sweet adventure."

The dog lifted his head, sniffing the air, and his nostrils caught the scent of chocolate and caramel.

### **First Clues**

Argo led the way, leading Jakub around the shop and along the courtyards. His nose picked up subtle clues: tiny paw prints and trails of candy crumbs that led towards a nearby playground.

"I see you're feeling something here, Argo," the commissioner murmured. "Show me where it leads."

The dog stopped by an old tree and barked softly, pointing to a small pile of candy wrappers. Nearby, they saw a group of mischievous cats, working together to sort through cartons and bags of candy.

### **Solution to the Riddle**

Jakub smiled to himself.

"Well, it wasn't a thief in human form," he said, petting Argo's head. "It's our furry friends who have created their own 'candy paradise.'"

The shopkeeper was initially surprised, but quickly understood the situation. The Commissioner and Argo helped collect the packages and place them in a place out of the way of the cats, ensuring the safety of the goods and the peace of the residents.

### **Reflection after the Adventure**

"You see, Argo," said Jakub, looking at the dog, "not every puzzle requires a dramatic chase or confrontation. Sometimes it's small observations and patience that solve the problem."

The dog sat at his leg, barking softly, as if approving of the Commissioner's words.

"Job well done, Argo," Jakub murmured. "The candy is back on the shelves, the cats are happy, and the residents are at peace."

Argo raised his head, ready for another adventure. The Commissioner knew that together they could solve any puzzle, whether dramatic or filled with humor and small, everyday problems.

This chapter expands on the mini-adventure of candy theft, introduces a humorous element, and highlights Argo's cunning and Jakub's ability for observation and logical thinking.

I can now continue with another mini-adventure—**Chapter 14: Nighttime Disappearances on the Neighborhood**—or continue with another of the previously mentioned adventures.
