"Someone has stolen my cheese!" a woman screamed.

The inspector quickly arrived on the scene. (He lived next door.) "Who do you suspect?" he asked.

"The only creatures in the house were a dog, a mouse, a fish, and a hyena," she answered.

"Hmmmmm," the inspector said. "Normally I'd suspect the mouse, but I believe this mystery is more complex than that. I think we should suspect the animal we least suspect."

"The fish?"

"The inspector sighed. "No. I believe he's just a red herring. It must be the hyena."

"I'm sorry!" the hyena cried when confronted. "The mouse's evil twin made me do it. He was blackmailing me. He knew I had a laughing gas habit. I just couldn't stop." He began to cry.

"Oh, Inspector!" the woman gushed. "That WAS complex!"
