## **Chapter 15: Mystery in the Park at Night**

The night over the Oak Estate was exceptionally dark. Fog hung over the park paths, and only streetlights cast a faint, yellowish light on the wet leaves. Residents reported strange phenomena: whispered voices, flickering lights between trees, and shadows that moved as if someone were watching the park.

"Commissioner!" the officer at the station called. "People are afraid to go out after dark. Something's happening in the park."

Jakub glanced at Argo, who immediately raised his head and sensed the atmosphere of tension.

"Argo, we have another night mystery. Time to see what's lurking in the darkness."

The dog barked softly, ready for action, and Jakub grabbed his flashlight and headed toward the park.

### **First Clues**

Entering the trees, Jacob noticed tiny footprints on the wet ground and the flickering reflections of metal objects. Argo sniffed intently, leading him along the path, stopping at bushes and old benches.

"I see you sense something here, Argo," the commissioner whispered. "Lead me to the spring."

The dog stopped at an old gazebo, where they noticed the faint glow of a candle. Abandoned flashlights and sheets of paper lay nearby, stirring in the wind.

### **Building Suspense**

Jakub cautiously approached the gazebo, his hand on his belt, where he usually carried his baton, while Argo growled softly, observing his surroundings. Suddenly, a figure emerged from behind the bushes. Jacob's heart raced, but the dog remained calm and sniffed the air.

It turned out to be a group of teenagers who were organizing nighttime "treasure hunts" using candles and flashlights. They wanted to experience adventure, unaware that their game was frightening the locals.

"Relax, young people," said Jakub, "you're not doing anything wrong, but you must remember that people might appear in the park at night and be frightened by such "games."

### **Solution to the Riddle**

Jakub and Argo explained the situation, and the youth followed the commissioner's advice. The dog barked softly, as if confirming that everything was now safe. Argo sniffed for a moment, making sure no false scents remained.

"You see, Argo," said Jakub, petting the dog's head, "riddles aren't always dangerous. Sometimes, perceptiveness and patience are enough to uncover the truth."

### **Post-Adventure Reflection**

As the first rays of morning sun began to filter through the fog, the park slowly emptied. Jacob and Argo returned to the station, knowing that nighttime mysteries, though terrifying to the inhabitants, often had a completely simple explanation.

"Job well done, Argo," Jacob murmured. "The city can sleep soundly, for the nighttime mysteries have been solved."

The dog raised his head, ready for another adventure, and Jacob knew that together they could face any mystery—both dangerous and humorous or mysteriously suspenseful.

This chapter expands on the nighttime mini-adventure in the park, introducing tension and an element of terror, while also concluding with a calm, logical resolution. Argo and Jacob demonstrate their teamwork, intuition, and perceptiveness.

I can now continue my next mini-adventure—Chapter 16: The Secret of the Old Library**—in the same expansive novel format.
