There are five houses that follow a subtle pattern. The murder house breaks the pattern. |
Lake Street is a dead end street with a turn, and it is connected to Main Street. Anyone who is going north on Main Street could make a left turn onto Lake Street. Lake Street extends about 100 feet from Main street, and then it turns to the right, and then it goes north. Lake Street continues to go straight for about 200 feet, and then it ends in a cul-de-sac. There are six houses on Lake Street. There is one house on the first 100 feet of the street on the left side, and then it turns to the right, and then there are five houses on the last 200 feet of the street. There is a brown house on the first 100 feet of the street on the left side. The brown house is on the south side of Lake Street. There is a driveway on the right side of the brown house. There is a wooden fence behind the brown house. Then the street turns to the right. On the right side of the street, there is a red house right after the turn. The red house is on the east side of Lake Street. There is a driveway on the right side of the red house. There is a wooded area behind the red house, and there is a wooded area on the left side of the red house, and the wooded area extends beyond the end of the street. On the left side of the street, there are three houses. The three houses are on the west side of Lake Street. There is a yellow house right after the turn. The yellow house is directly across the street from the red house. There is a green house next to the yellow house, and there is a pink house next to the green house. There is a wooded area on the west side of Lake Street behind the three houses, and there is a wooded area on the left side of the yellow house, and the wooded area extends beyond the end of the street. There are three paths that go through the wooded area. There is a path behind the yellow house, the green house, and the pink house. All three paths are about 50 feet long, and all of them lead to a lake. The lake is about 300 feet long. There is a blue house at the end of the street. The blue house is on the north side of Lake Street. There is a fire hydrant on the sidewalk in front of the blue house on the right side, and it is next to the driveway. There is a wooded area behind the blue house, and there is a wooded area on both sides of the blue house. All six houses on Lake Street are about the same size. Every house has two floors and an outdoor porch in the back. There are two houses that have three bedrooms. The brown house and the pink house have three bedrooms. There are four houses that have four bedrooms. The red house, the yellow house, the green house, and the blue house have four bedrooms. There is one house that has a secret passage and a secret room. The other five houses do not have a secret passage or a secret room. Twenty years ago, there was a young woman who was living alone in one of the six houses on Lake Street who was murdered. Her name was Julie. The murder happened on a Sunday night on July 1st. It was a foggy night, and there was a full moon in the sky. Julie was stabbed to death in her bedroom. She was stabbed five times. She was robbed. The murder was discovered the next day at 4:30 in the afternoon. Julie was found dead on the floor. The murder house became known as "The House of Blood." Four days after the murder was discovered, on a Friday at 3:00, the knife was found in the lake. The murder was never solved. The six houses on Lake Street look the same as they were 20 years ago. The six houses had the same color for the last 20 years. None of the rooms were changed in any of the houses within the last 20 years. Julie was living in a house that had a subtle difference from the other five houses on Lake Street. This house had a subtle difference from the other five houses for the last 20 years. This house does not follow the same pattern as the other five houses. Anyone who looks at all six houses from the outside would not be able to figure out which house has a subtle difference. Anyone who looks at the land around all six houses would not be able to figure out which house has a subtle difference. There was a 13-year-old girl who was living with her parents in a white house on Main Street at the time of the murder. Her name was Anna. Her house was very close to the brown house on Lake Street. One week after the murder, on a Sunday night, Anna had a nightmare about the murder. One week later, she had another nightmare. Anna had a nightmare every Sunday night for three weeks. The following is a summary of the three nightmares that Anna has experienced. In all three dreams, she is standing in the front yard of a house on Lake Street. There is a hidden message in all three dreams. All three dreams are describing the murder house in a subtle way. Dream 1: Anna is standing in the front yard of a yellow house on a Sunday night, and she is looking at the house. It's a foggy night. She can see most of the house through the fog. There is a full moon above the yellow house. There is a black cat and a rabbit in the front yard. She hears a woman screaming from inside the house, and then she sees blood flowing down the front of the house in many places. The front of the yellow house is covered in blood. Anna is frightened by the sight of blood, and then she runs to her house. She enters her house, and closes the door, and then she wakes up. Dream 2: Anna is standing in the front yard of a blue house on a Sunday night, and she is looking at the house. It's a foggy night. She can see most of the house through the fog. There is a full moon above the blue house. There is a big white dog and a raccoon in the front yard. She hears a woman screaming from inside the house, and then she sees blood flowing down the front of the house in many places. The front of the blue house is covered in blood. Anna is frightened by the sight of blood, and then she runs to her house. She enters her house, and closes the door, and then she wakes up. Dream 3: Anna is standing in the front yard of a red house on a Sunday night, and she is looking at the house. It's a foggy night. She can see most of the house through the fog. There is a full moon above the red house. There is a squirrel in the front yard, and there is a bird flying above the house. The bird flies away, and then the squirrel runs away. Then all of a sudden, the fog gets thicker, and it completely covers the house. She hears a woman screaming from inside the house. Then the fog diminishes, and then the fog is completely gone. The red house is gone. The red house has vanished into thin air. There is a pool of blood on the ground where the red house once stood. Julie's body is laying in the pool of blood, and there is blood all over her body. Anna is too scared to scream, and then she runs to her house. She enters her house, and closes the door, and then she wakes up. Anna could have been standing in front of the murder house in one of her dreams, or she was not standing in front of the murder house in any of her dreams. If there was a different house in each dream, then the murder house would still be the same house. If there was a brown house in the first dream instead of a yellow house, and a green house in the second dream instead of a blue house, and a pink house in the last dream instead of a red house, then the murder house would still be the same house. All three dreams would still be describing the murder house in a subtle way. There was an artist who was living alone in a house on Lake Street at the time of the murder. His name was Mike. He was still living alone in the same house 20 years after the murder. Mike lives in either the yellow house or the blue house. If Julie was living in the red house or the blue house, then Mike lives in the yellow house. If Julie was living in any other house, then Mike lives in the blue house. Mike's house has a secret passage and a secret room. There is a secret passage in the living room behind the grandfather clock. There is a hidden spiral staircase behind the grandfather clock that leads to a secret room in the cellar. The spiral staircase has wooden steps and wooden railings. The secret room is very small. Anyone who is in the cellar would not be able to see the secret room. It appears to be a very large post in the cellar. No one can enter the secret room from the cellar. Mike would keep some of his artwork in the secret room, such as paintings and sculptures. He would also keep money in the secret room. Mike's house has a family room on the lower floor. There is an object in the family room that can be utilized to open the secret passage behind the grandfather clock. This object can either be pressed or turned to open the secret passage. If this object is utilized, then the right side of the grandfather clock would swing away from the wall, and the hidden spiral staircase would be visible. No one can open the secret passage from the living room. The grandfather clock cannot be moved away from the wall. Anyone who is standing on the top of the hidden spiral staircase can pull the grandfather clock back against the wall, and close the secret passage, and then open it again by pushing the grandfather clock away from the wall. The object that opens the secret passage has either 9 or 10 letters in its name. This object is completely black, and Mike didn't paint it black. Most houses do not have this object. If this object is utilized, then it would make a sound that can usually be heard by anyone in the living room if the door at the bottom of the stairs is open. Mike made a painting of Lake Street one month after the murder. The painting shows all six houses on Lake Street in the summertime. He gave the painting a name. Three days after he made the painting, he gave it to Julie's mother. The first letter in the name of the object that opens the secret passage determines the name of the painting. If the name of the object begins with a 'C', then the name of the painting is "Traces of Love." If the name of the object begins with an 'L', then the name of the painting is "Silence is Golden." If the name of the object begins with an 'M', then the name of the painting is "Beautiful Dreams." If the name of the object begins with an 'N', then the name of the painting is "Summer Sunshine." If the name of the object begins with an 'R', then the name of the painting is "Another Road to Paradise." If the name of the object begins with an 'S', then the name of the painting is "A View of Lake Street." 1. In which house was the murder committed?
