Elton Neremi was a great detective. His companion, Alyssa, often ___1___ him on his adventures. The two of them would travel around the world to solve different baffling ___2___. It always seemed as if one would be more mysterious than the next. Sometimes, their adventures might even become dangerous and they would come close to losing their ___3___.

My first Elton Neremi book was given to me by my father. It was a present for my seventh birthday. I remember that I would ___4___ up in bed, all warm and cozy, with the book in my hands. I would be totally ___5___ in the story. It was as if I was transported to a whole new ___6___.

My favorite Elton Neremi adventure is one that took ___7___ in Venice. Neremi was in Venice visiting a sick friend. His friend had consulted many ___8___ but no one could cure him. Neremi later realized that his friend had been poisoned. He decided to ___9___ further to find out who the culprit was. In the meanwhile, his friend was ___10___ for by his wife.

Over the next few weeks, Neremi spent every waking moment digging for more information. He searched the house and interviewed many people but to no ___11___. He was at his wits' end.

One morning, as Neremi sat at the dining table ___12___ over a cup of coffee, it struck him that he had not interviewed two people. They were his ___13___ himself and his wife.

As fate would have it, Neremi finally had his answer. He knew who had been the one poisoning his friend. It was his wife all along.
