    One day, while playing outside, Petya heard strange noises coming from a nearby house. His detective instincts kicked in, and he decided to investigate. He approached the house cautiously and peered through a window.

    Inside, he saw a shadowy figure moving around. Petya knew he had stumbled upon a mystery. The figure was moving stealthily, as if trying not to be noticed. This was his chance to solve a real mystery.

    Petya decided to collect evidence first. He scanned the area and discovered footprints in the mud under the window. He also noticed the window was slightly ajar. His heart pounded with excitement - he was onto something big!

    Next, he decided to wait for the mysterious figure to leave the house. Hidden behind a corner, he watched the front door intently. As soon as the figure stepped out onto the street, Petya was quick to follow.

    Petya dashed after the figure, his little heart beating like a drum. He followed the shadowy figure through several streets, staying just far enough to not be noticed. He was determined to catch the culprit.
