[10] Interview - Bobby

You find the British bobby — that's what they call police officers in England. You think it's strange, but they're nicknamed after the founder of the police, Sir Robert Peel. You look at the bobby's odd, pointed helmet and wonder if his head is pointed underneath. You decide not to ask about his head. Instead show him a picture of the woman you're looking for.
"Yes, I remember her." He smiles. "Very pretty, she was."

"Did she say where she was going?" you ask.
"Only that she was interested in how wheat is grown," he replies. "I was more interested in her lovely long—"
"Quite," you agree. This is obviously the only useful information you'll get out of him! Time to head back to London [136] and check out what you know.


Where next?

Should we speak to:

• The businessman? [43]
• The fish and chip shop owner?
• The bobby?

Or are we ready to track the thief to:

• China? [131]
• The United States? [59]
• India? [170]

Score: 15 • Case: Great Wall • Warrant: Carmen Sandiego!! • Destination: has a lot of rice, and wheat


Below is an image of the famous policeman's helmet. Please do not steal.

[43] Interview - Businessman

The businessman is dressed in a dark suit, with a rolled-up umbrella and a bowler hat. He looks at your trench coat and fedora and sniffs. "Ahh, an American," he comments. "They still don't teach you how to dress over there?"
You growl back. "We prefer to keep things casual." You decide to get right to the point with this guy. "I understand you saw the woman I'm looking for."

"Yes, by heavens, I did!" he exclaims. "Now, she was someone who knew how to dress! A delightful lady with heavenly blue eyes."
"Good clothes or not, she's a crook, through and through," you tell him. "Did she say where she was going?"

"Well, she did mention something about seeing an Indian. But I don't think she was aiming to go to America. She seemed too sensible for that."
"Stuck-up little drip," you mutter as you leave.
"Scarecrow!" he calls after you as you hurry back to the airport. [136]

[170] India

Youv'e arrived in India. You wish that you had time to see the famous Taj Mahal, or the wildlife of India — the Indian elephant, the rhinoceros, or the magnificent tigers. But duty calls. With a sigh, you find the local Acme agent. He hands you a list. There are three people who've seen the woman you're tracking, and only three places that she could have gone to.

Do we want to interview:

[125] Interview - Fakir

The fakir is in the marketplace, lying on a bed of sharp nails. And you thought your own bed back home was uncomfortable! It doesn't seem to bother the fakir, though. He tells you he can also walk over hot coals without burning his feet. You hope you never get that cold!
"Maybe you've seen the woman I'm after," you ask him.
"Yes, I have," he answers. "She thought I might teach her some tricks to help her escape from the police. Naturally, I refused to help her."

"Any idea where she disappeared to?" you ask.
"Well, she said something about looking for uranium," the fakir says.
You thank him and head back to the airport [170] to check out what you'll do next.

[52] Argentina

Your plane touches down in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The country is the second largest in South America and makes up almost all of the southern part of the continent.
You read in your guidebook that it was settled by the Spanish in the seventeenth century. You also read that it is the home of the largest rodent in the world, the capybara. Great — a huge rat. "I hate rats," you mutter.

The girl from the local Acme office arrives and greets you. "I've found some people who saw the woman you're after," she tells you. "And there were three flights out of the country just before you arrived. I know she bought a ticket for one of them, but she also had two look-alikes buy tickets for the other two countries, I'm afraid."
"I'll figure it out," you tell her. "That's what I'm paid to do." You study her list.

Do we want to interview:

• The gaucho? [73]
• Patagonian Pete? [61]
• The fisherman? [166]

[61] Interview - Patagonian Pete

Patagonia is a huge area right down south in South America. There aren't many people around, but there are plenty of sheep. It takes you a while to cross the grasslands to find your contact, Pete. When you find him, you ask about the woman you're after.

"Ah, I recall her well!" he tells you. "She was looking for someone who could change her money into American dollars."
You head back to the airport [52], in hopes of finding out where she might be heading.

[166] Interview - Fisherman

The fisherman is the only person you've seen along the banks of the river. Despite the number of fish here in Argentina, fishing is not popular, and most people don't eat fish. You can't think why — personally, you love a good piece of catfish!
You ask the man about the woman you're looking for. He smiles.

"Ah, she was a beauty, that one!" he replies. "I wanted to go with her, but she said she was off to change her money into American dollars."
You thank him and wish him luck wish his fishing. You're off to try and catch a big fish of your own! It's back to the airport! [52]

[73] Interview - Gaucho

The gaucho is a kind of South American cowboy. Seated on his horse, he is dressed ornately and sports a large hat on his head. He waves this (the hat, not his head) as he sees you coming.
"So," he says politely, "how many I help you?"
"Maybe you can tell me about the woman I'm after," you say, showing him her picture.

"Ah, I remember her well." He smiles. "A true beauty, that one. She said she was going somewhere where there was no industry but plenty of places to laze in the sun."
You think you know where your suspect has gone. But first you decide to head back to the airport [52] to verify your suspicions.

[123] Hawaii

You've arrived in Hawaii. It became the fiftieth state of the United State of America in 1959. Hawaii is the name of the main island, but there are over 130 islands in the group. Oahu is the most built-up island, and also home to the famous navy base, Pearl Harbor.
The local agent arrives, almost out of breath. She's a pretty native girl, and she hands you a list.

"That was close," she tells you. "One of the V.I.L.E. agents almost caught me. I've found three people who've seen the thief you're tracking."
"I'll get on it right away," you promise, and look over her information.

Is the key to this whole mystery:

• The used-lei salesman? [33]
• The guide at the volcano? [56]
• The sailor? [147]
