Really? Maybe you should let us solve some of those one day. Though already knowing that we'll have to search for metaphors might kinda kill the challenge.

It's only one or two out of a book of them I had. Still have probably, but haven't read lately, especially given the fact that you are doing these and I don't want my memory refreshed. Though I haven't seen too too many I know.

Dig that book out again once we reach case 50, because that's when my stack will be depleted. Though that day is still far away.

* Uncertain Mikeneko Rock sighs

The woman had the hiccups. She ordered a cup of water. The bartender knew she had hiccups and instead pulled a gun on her to scare them away. Obviously, it worked. "Thank You"

Yeah, I had a couple such books and remember a fair bit of them. Hence, I'm probably mostly going to lurk this thread and maybe ask a question or two in the right direction if one goes on for quite a while like Case 4 did. :3

CASE SOLVED!
Enough details have been uncovered and brought into connection to declare this case as solved. Please wait a bit for
post-game summary.

YES

No, I will not even bother to put up an extra solution for this one.
Lady UK has said everything really.
Now, after this silly joke of a riddle, let's continue to a real one, shall we?
For the tenth riddle I have chosen an especially nice one.
Though, knowing you all, even a swift walk to the truth wouldn't surprise me.
The rule of informing me if you think you know it applies here especially, because it would be a shame to have it spoiled for anyone.




Tenth Case: The Mayor
A priest held his farewell speech.
Near the end the mayor appeared and wanted to thank him.
He was shot before he could finish speaking.

Ooh, I don't know this one.

Ok, how about this

Did the mayor die?

Was he shot with a gun?

If the answer to both of those is yes

The mayor went up to thank the priest and it was a photo opportunity. He was "shot" with a camera.

I'm only proposing that because I don't believe I'm correct. If I am correct though, I didn't mean to break the case like that... :S.

Ok, good.

Was the mayor intentionally shot?

Was he shot with the intent of killing the mayor?

Was he shot directly as a result of thanking the preist?

Was the mayor in any way related to the priest?

Was he being thanked for a wedding ceremony?

Was he shot to ensure he never finished his speech?

Was the mayor guilty of murder?

Was he guilty of an affair?

Did he rise to power through a political scandal which he confessed to?
